On this site, I see a new push for "rhodium tests" for camera...is there any way to get it now or do I have to wait for Jerome to link it here? I'm really anxious to test!

http://gitorious.org/~jbruneaux/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-home-work
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bzo:
the rhodium camera is not currently working with the source in the tree. For our initial testing, we got it up and running on the rhodium with some hacks to the gpios and driver. Jerome is in the process of fixing things up properly and the camera won't work until that is done.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] pdawg17:
Thanks for the update! I am just really enjoying helping you guys out by testing these things so I'm ready when you are!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TRNSLN:
Maybe there's still hope for Blackstone

http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5637
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] viruscrazy:
There's still hopes but it may take longer to make it work than on "currently supported" sensors. I'm at first going to focus on the devices that are using the same sensors as diamond (raphael, rhodium, ...) and then will try to make work an other library or make a translation layer between "library known sensors" and other sensors.

The latest push on the git mentionned above is the one I made yesterday to have my latest modification on the server so that I can retrive it elsewhere. I will make new zImage as soon as I've something really new (last commit was only memories adjustements, nothing that will fix the GPIO "problem" we have right now).

For raphael users, I will have an other look to the sensor configuration registers (the same registers where I found the reverse bit) and if something is revelant, then I will make a new zImage.

Thanks for your tests.

RAPH100: Works. Image is a bit yellowish, seems like white balance bug.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] colo-natas:
Ditto, the camera is working great on my Raph110/Fuze with the 12/31 kernel and the updated conf file. Orientation is correct in both portrait and landscape. Pictures look good but perhaps white balance and brightness could be improved. VERY AWESOME PROGRESS! Thank you, guys; I now have one less reason to reboot into winmo!

I tried video and got a force close, after that camera won't work until I restart. Is to be expected, though, from what I have read.

EDIT: Hahaha... just realized I already posted an update yesterday. Sorry, I forgot I had posted while drunk...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] GoldAngelo:
hmm... A lot of people said that their Touch Pro / Fuze camera works. With me not (have raph100). Anyone of you can throw the entire package (Kernel, zImagine, lib_pack and froyo.user.conf) on which you manage to run the camera? The point is that I tried on your package, and then it was known that if I'm the camera does not work for my mistake or an error is still in the package.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Thegn:
Good to hear you are not abandoning Blackstone! :) There are quite a number of Blackstone users out there, but there are so few devs with Blackstone so it seems like they are forgetting that Blackstone is a wonderful phone with great potential for Android. There is no dev talk on the Blackstone forum either, so we users have to jump to this forum, Rhodium forum och HD2 forum.

Thank you for working on cam, hopefully we'll also see some progress on the Blackstone! :)

Cheers!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Everything you need is in the first post... If you're not able to get it going, we can try to help you. However, this is for testing - so it's for the brave. If you're unsure, it's probably best to leave it until it's been committed :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] viruscrazy:
Hi,

it seems that some raphael user don't get camera working (seems raph100 related). If some of you could make tests and send the dmesg log, it would be helpfull...

For other raph100 user, the color problem is probably related to the picture "reversed". I've read the datasheet of the sensor and when reversing picture, it also reverse the pixel order...I'm still trying to find how winmo does handle this but I've not found yet.

For rhodium users : is there rhod100 user here or only rhod400/500 users ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gmp029:
Hello, I am using a sprint touch pro (Raph800) with the xdandroid FX-03 package. I downloaded the modules/zimage from the 12/31 post on page 1 of this forum along with the Diamond library files. My screen fades away immediately after android begins to boot up, as others have reported.

I noticed that the boot sequence eventually goes to completion, as I get feedback when i swipe my finger on the screen where the 'unlock' slider should be.

Thanks for the good work so far, please let me know if there are any ideas or suggestions for the screen issue!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] viruscrazy:
I'm going to remove all the "unknown" code from camera init and make a new zImage to see if it helps. I've put some code based on only one driver from winmo but right now, I've checked lot of drivers from same devices but GSM and CDMA, and it seems that even same devices with just CDMA / GSM change have also some pin configuration different...so I will only make the init of used pins. I will update the first thread with new zImage when it will be ready.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] mister-gwada97one:
Hey Jerome,

What's about battery life on diamond ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] viruscrazy:
Battery life will be an other dev. I've sometimes been able to have the phone working more than one day but there will be some work to be done on that point. Right now, I must admit that I'm not focused on this, just on the camera...

The first post has been updated with a new package for raphael and rhodium users.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Trying it out now... first boot was unsuccessful. Next two boots I got into Android, but seemed to suffer the system_server bug. I let the phone sleep, and both times it would not wake back out of sleep.

I am OC'd with pm.sleep_mode=1. I'll remove the OC now and see if it makes a diff.

Yup, same as Captain_Throwback's description below (which is status quo, blank black screen when opening camera). Logs attached, thanks Jerome!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Just tried it on my RHOD300 - same system reboot when trying to start Camera after blank/black screen (first boot), and on second boot, when starting Camera, black/blank screen, then Force Close & reboot.

Attached is the last_kmsg after rebooting (2nd boot).

Hi, thnaks for your tests. A new zImage + module has been uploaded. Link is in the first post. I forgot to do an init of a GPIO (I made a function to put the right GPIO in the camera driver struct, but as it's not really used by the driver yet, the GPIO configuration was not done...).

Thanks for your tests.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Damien50:
Hi, I test the new kernel but It seem to be dosen't work, the rhodium reboot :(

Can you give in the first post all the command in ADB for help you?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Same for me, phone went to a black screen then soft reset to WinMo.

The adb commands I do are logcat and dmesg.

adb logcat

and

adb shell dmesg

- if you do a > output.txt after those commands, it'll dump the information into a doc.

I'll pull logs from this newest kernel.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
RHOD300 (Tilt 2) - latest kernel: CAMERA_zImage_modules_03012011_1.tar.gz (2.6.27.46-01202-gb97e666-dirty)

Ok, this time on 1st boot, when I tried to open camera, the device just stuck on the app drawer with Camera highlighted, and after 5-10 seconds, the device rebooted into Windows Mobile. last_kmsg log attached.

On second boot, when opening camera from a shortcut on one of my Home pages, I get a black screen. After a little more than a minute (still with black screen), I attempt to back out of the application, first by pressing the "Back" button, and then by trying to go the the Home screen ("End" button). At that point, the device reboots. I will also provide a log of this second boot (once I get there). EDIT: Log attached (had to zip, as too large to attach).

I then ran a dmesg from Terminal Emulator, which is attached.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea my phone just soft resets to WinMo - not sure how to get logs for this one... I'll keep tryin tho.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Hey arrrghhh - viruscrazy provides the adb command you need to get the proper log on the following reboot here.

@viruscrazy

You should probably consider putting the info from that post in the first post :).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
How does that work...? The phone isn't rebooting within Android, it's soft resetting back to WinMo. So I start Android, start camera... soft reset to WinMo, start Android again and try running that command...? Seems unlikely that will produce anything useful. Thanks for the tip tho, I did read that post but didn't think it applied to me since it's actually doing a soft reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yes - try it - if you look at the last line in my first two logs, you'll notice that's it's actually recording the reboot. I assume viruscrazy has included the last_kmsg logging into the kernel so that we're still able to retrieve useful log information on the following boot (back into Android). But I don't know a lot about this stuff, admittedly :rolleyes:.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Fair enough, I'll just try it and see. Definitely want to help get this working as much as I possibly can! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dare1234:
when i open ADB manager and run lib_inst.sh from my sdcard on my diamond it says :no such file or directory :S:S help pls
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Use the froyo.user.conf method - much easier, and doesn't mess with any of your files. Just does a simple bind mount over them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] fshami:
Wohoooo Camera worked :).

Thanks Arghhh for the tip about conf file.

Any one tried the Zoom? When i tried it, it closed the Cam.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] viruscrazy:
That's it, don't use the lib_inst.sh that will overwrite the files, just use the froyo conf file, so that if there is a problem, you can revert back to original system just by removing the conf file.

For the adb command after reboot to get last dmesg, it works indeed because the ram console is enabled (and working) on allmost every device now. It helps a lot as you can see where the crash happened (still some printks that does not show up, but that's really easier than blind debugging).

@Captain_Throwback : Can you confirm your phone is a CDMA or a GSM one ?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I've seen lots of people on here have problems with their phone not auto rotating after going back to 2.1. Anyone NOT have that problem? I have dk28 on my phone now and love it. I have it rooted with clockwork mod installed. I wanted to Odin back to 2.1 for the update but I'm worried about the auto rotate not working properly. I know there's a fix with the terminal emulator but it always force closes when I try to open it. also if I do have that problem would the ota 2.2 possibly fix it? Thanks
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I would wait until the update does live, then flash to DI18 with Odin, then OTA to DL11.

Going back to DI18 WILL break your auto rotate, because of the new calibration and tweaks introduced in Froyo.

However, going back to Froyo (or running the terminal fix) will correct the issue.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Oh ok I just wanted to make sure that it would be fixed when go back to froyo. Thankd

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] geolemon:
I replaced the housing on my old BB Pearl, and my G1 (which was way, way more complicated).

I've got a Magic now, and the ear speaker is acting up. When I make a call, sometimes the ear speaker is just dead - I can switch to the speakerphone no problem, and then when I switch back I usually have sound in the ear speaker, but I suspect physical speaker damage because sometimes it'll cut out and I can squeeze the top of the headset just right and it'll come back. Crossing my fingers that it's not something else electronic in the board.

I want to replace it - and while I've got it apart, may as well give it a new body since they are only $10-$15. (wish I could upgrade it to the Fender body with the 3.5mm headphone jack lol)

Problem is, although I can find new housings all over the place (including eBay), I can't find the replacement speaker anywhere but some GlobalPartsDirect website, and they have a 5-unit minimum wholesale order quantity.

Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks in advance!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] geolemon:
Bump on this-

I had PM'd a seller on Ebay who said they had one - just waited over 3 weeks for it to arrive, only to discover they sent me a replacement speakerphone speaker.

I could not have been clearer with them that it was the ear speaker that was not working.

Any help is appreciated - I now need to resolve this urgently, as I can't use my phone as a phone, and I'm postponing all sorts of things that I need to resolve - of course the timing is such that I need to liquidate some things and I can't set up Craigslist ads because I can't talk on my phone. Please help!

This is the radio wars thread. please have your war here.

The following is a good rating system for the radio:

Battery life, 1-5

Reception, 1-5

GPS performance/ cell triangulation, 1-5 or in Seconds to get a lock below 10 meters.

Have fun. Let me know if you think criteria should be added. Post should resemble this (after you've voted above):

Radio version X.XX.XX.XX
Battery 3
Reception 4
GPS lock 16 seconds.

The goal of this thread is to make it easy for people to decide what radios to use.

Please note: the two 2708 radios are:

2.22.27.08

2.22.28.25

The other two radios are:

2.22.23.02

2.22.19.26I
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Theres also the option of using the 3.xx EBI1 Radios.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
Hm... What benefit can those provide? Flashable on any g1? link? i'm curious...
[G1 Android Development] nagash91:
Thanks to jcarrz1 for this thread!

I don't know why but from the time I used the new 2708 radio, my battery life seems orrible while I use the phone (screen on) and seems ok while the screen is off.

I changed a lot of roms (some based on magic AOSP 2.2.1, cyanogen, AOSP 1.6) and the problem persist.

An example: I open wifi, connect to my wifi home, I open market (loading.. ecc) then I explore some applications without download them -> battery decrease 4-5%

I think that it is not normal :rolleyes:

BTW if I use my phone only for make 1 or 2 calls in a day and 2 or 3 sms, I can use my phone for 2-3 days and perhaps for one half day more.

After this experiences, I flashed old radios (not 2708, no 14mb hack so) and the problem persist!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

My original battery is not good, so I'm using a no-htc battery (1600mha... but I don't think it's true)

So I don't understand if the problem is in my head, in my battery or in my phone!! :D But I notice the problem the first time when I installed 2708 radio!

Maybe the 2708 destroyed my new battery life?? :D I think that it is impossibile.. but.. I can't understand! :confused::confused::confused:

ps: now I'm using old radios with AOSP 1.6 rom
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
This is so flawed it's not even funny!

Each user over clocks at different frequencies, runs everything (wifi always on, 3g always on, brightness levels etc etc) others nothing. Then you have to consider closeness to towers, gps will work faster with clear sky's and nice open spaces, this is just completely pointless as a rating system. Sorry.
[G1 Android Development] JuliusCes:
Hello,

I actually have a question regarding radios? Wouldn't the geographic location matter as well? Maybe, one radio is better suited for one country than other? Could someone confirm this please? If this is true then what radio would be perfect for France? Maybe it depends on the telecom operator? Then in this case which radio would be better for France Telecom?

Cheers,

JuliusCes
[G1 Android Development] bl4cklabel:
Is there any difference between say the two 2708 radios, or the two orig radios?

There has to be bennefits from some, right?
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Rumored to provide better EDGE (2g) performance, but as far as I know this is untested.

Flashable on any g1, just fastboot the amon ebi1 recovery at the same time.

But, you have to also flash the ebi1 kernel when you flash the rom (available for most popular roms)

I'm interested in backing up my SMS text messages...I have thousands and after a while it get's sluggish, and I have some very important messages that I need to hold on to.

I have MyBackup Pro which works nice, but you can only restore one backup...as far as I konw...and it removes all SMS messages before it restores. So I have like 10 backups all from different dates and I can only restore one set.

Is there a program that backs up SMS/MMS messages as good as MyBackup Pro to the Local SD card, but will allow you to either append new message backups to a backup already created or will let you combine and restore multiple backups? Thanks.

Oh my bad...I just saw Apps and figured it went here...Mods, feel free to move please.

Does HTC Sync have options other than just syncing the contacts with outlook? What files would contain the SMS/MMS texts? How would this work to append messages say if I deleted all the messages after a backup and then wanted to add additional messages in a backup and then restore all??? Thanks.

I've used MyBackupPro but it over-writes messages when you do a restore.
