[Nexus One General] Matterhorn:
I have owned the N1 since launch. I used the NS for 3 weeks and returned it.

My observations:

The NS didn't seem much faster than the N1. The N1 browser was better.

NS felt fragile compared to N1.

NS didn't fit in my jeans pocket as well because of the bigger size.

* The biggest point to me is that the N1 has noise canceling which works great, my NS echoed a lot of room background noise. The ear speaker quality on the N1 was far superior to the NS which sounded tinny.

I think I will "try" and wait for an HTC phone with the Qualcom 8960 chipset which should be a major leap ahead. I just hope they make one with noise canceling.
[Nexus One General] madchild1:
Looks to be only slightly faster than the N1 with a ported rom...

Not worth upgrading IMO
[Nexus One General] subvecto:
I feel this is the exact reason N1 gingerbread ota update is being delayed and held back... everyone will start comparing new with old, ending up finding stock to stock differences are so subtle not justifying a switch over. We all know android plain vanilla interface is not as exciting, friendly or eyecandy as some vendor UIs and large portion of expected potential NS buyers will be current N1 owners...
[Nexus One General] scottb75:
I don't know I guess mileage may vary but I just got the NS today and coming from a N1 that was running CM7 and overclocked to 1153mhz, the NS (at stock) by comparison seems to run much smoother at least when navigating the screens and opening up apps and app drawer. The NS also seems to boot faster, and doesn't have any lag at startup which my N1 sometimes did.
[Nexus One General] Basil 123:
I just wonder how much of this is to justify the cost of changing over to one's significant other?

TBH I dont see a huge improvement over the N1 - and certainly the build quality, noise-cancellation and SDcard memory functionality of the N1 should have been retained....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
As I'm sure we all do, I love the funky screen off animation on the Nexus S. In the past, on my N1, I've messed about with alternative lock sounds and thought it would be epic to find one that makes a kind of electronic zippy kind of noise when locking, to go with the animation.

I've tried looking on freesound but it's hard to know what to search for!

Anyone got any ideas or, better still, an appropriate sound effect.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i actually find the stock screen off sound to be quite matching to the screen effect

like an old TV turning off :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
I guess, but I like change :)

I'm after something that sounds the way the animation looks, if that makes sense. Of course, the lock actually happens after so it probably wouldn't work that well anyway

You can always flash back to stock via SD Card then start over. Go to the HD2 Rom section for direction. Unlike Older HTC Devices, if you install a Rom via SD Card it will reset the phone back to stock. You will need to reapply SPL.

I NAND flashed my HD2 yesterday. I did have issues with it stickign to Waiting for USB after added MAGLDR. However, it finally took. I had to do as the thread in the HD2 section suggested and hook up the phone then open Activesync and uncheck ALLOW USB.

Ok, I'm sure it's obviously simple but how do I get the text to speech to work when I get an incoming message and have it connected to a Bluetooth headset? Do I need an app or is it built in?
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
If your wanting it to read the text to you I know Handcent SMS will do so. Once you install it , get a message and just press and hold on the message and there should be an option to read. I do not believe the stock app does not have that option.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
hmmmm....ok. thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Select swype as your method of input, there is a button on the keyboard that looks like a microphone. You can use that for text-to-talk. I was doing it earlier through my stereo bluetooth headset talking to phidelt.
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
They were asking for TEXT to SPEECH, not SPEECH to TEXT.

yea, I figured out the speech to text but not the text to speech

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochie2:
Hello,

as in this post, I'm trying to track the amount of reserved RAM in different devices. Could someone tell me with the app "Free Memory" what's the linux-usable amount of RAM?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochie2:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missparker76:
373.2 MB of RAM on my Desire Z with stock ROM (I didn't use Free Memory but Elixir).

Could someone explain to me why it doesn't display 512 MB? :confused:

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochie2:
It's because part of the RAM is reserved for system use (gpu, radio, camera, ...). Some very similar phoned have the advantage of using less for the same tasks, but 373 is not bad, the nexus is great in that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missparker76:
Thanks poochie :o

Just pure curisity: this is different from the way Windows Mobile is managed? I don't remember having ever heard of reserved RAM in WM but I may be wrong...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochie2:
The few WinMo phones I saw far back in the past don't do this, but to be sure we should ask to someone with one of the newer phones. I would find very interesting to know the RAM stats of Htc's Hd2 with both android and winmo.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Don't worry, Android is a lot better than managing its memory than WinMo 6.x. WinMo needs to keep a fair bit of free memory or it really starts to bog down. Android can cope with using a lot more of its RAM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missparker76:
Android no longer boots on my HD2 so I have posted the question on a French forum. Here are the replies I got for total RAM (results given by Elixir):

- SD card with Android MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0 (WM ROM: HD2 en ROM Artemis v50): 413.3 MB

- NAND : 410.9 MB

Knowing that the HD2 total RAM is 448 MB this means only about 35 to 38 MB is reserved RAM.

Thanks Stevie. I have also noticed that Android does manage RAM much better than WM so I have no worry. It was just to ensure that I hadn't missed something with the way WM managed its RAM ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breezy169:

I hope we can get this app working. Besides being a fun app it would make a great showpiece for our GTabs. It only seems to show up in the market when using the later VEGAn ROMs. I have started corresponding with X-Plane support to see if we can get this working.

Has anyone else tried X-Plane on their GTab or phones?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ThunderPuppy:
Received another reply from X-Plane support:

"The Viewsonic gTab uses a Tegra2 chip that we don't support yet. Most games will have to make a special effort to add support. We do plan on doing this at some point. This is why Google has not added market support yet for tablets."

hi guys I'm doing some research on samsung's firmware files...

Hmmm. Whole file is smaller... 50.856.960... :confused:

apps_compressed.bin

Decrypted with PSAS... but I can't decompress...

Anyway. :)

CRC32 (32 bit) could be used...

The Question could be, where the content starts and ends correct to fit size to make crc32...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] faenil:
wait u're talking about the apps_compressed...

while I'm talking about the ffs/app files...which have a 16byte checksum in the footer!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Sorry. I'm thinking loud. As I thought they used for all files same CRC or Hash... :o :o

I compared for instance Rsrc2_S8500(Mid).rc2 and Rsrc2_S8500(Low).rc2.

As 1 Byte at Start leads to 16 Byte change at end of file... So maybe MD5 too used by Multiloader. :o

Again. I'm thinking loud.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
No progress. But few Screenshots for better understanding...

If we manipulate *.FFS we can't flash. (ALL other files protected too...) :(

Test 1.

I changed 1 useless Byte...

Somewhere blabla.jad in blabla.jam :)

Multiloader 5.64 accept to choose my file. But Error message if I press Download.

Test 2.

I add 1 Byte at the end of file. To check if some crap or if whole file is checked...

Result:

Multiloader 5.64 not allow to choose this file.

Both files tested also via Multiloader 5.62. And this Versions not allow both files to choose.

See Screenshots for Error messages.

Ideas...

Maybe disable CRC Check in Multiloader... ;)

Or find other way to flash and check if Wave self checks Manipulation of files. Or only Multiloader is the bottleneck.

Maybe it is more complex... as I found via Internal menu the Info I've posted above... in Wave self. If Wave have selfcheck...

Best Regards

hi,

I'm not sure if you're hear about fmtBADA plugin for TriX - I wrote it few days ago (it is very simple but quite usefull). It parse any bada firmware file (*ffs, amss, ShpApp etc), so we can easly manipulate with it. After all program recalculate checksum, update all needed values so we can put file back to phone using multiuploader
[Bada Software and Hacking General] faenil:
what u talking about? :)

let us know more...

I made lots of research on ffs and app files...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] b.kubica:
I put some files at NokiX site (check my homepage), so you can play with firmware files quite easily. GUI is qt based so you need to download Qt libraries for the first time. Two packages you will find in bada subdir - program and scripts.

Start program, at General tab select input and output file (e.g. FFS PFS ShpApp,amss). Go to the Scripts tab and load scripts you want to fire up.

For the first time I reccomend you to try fs_shell script - it is simly command line script to edit filesystem images (ffs,pfs,shpapp). You can list, dump delete rename files, adding is not supported yet (but can be easy implemented - scripts are written in pure C).

Before asking just play with it ;)

br,

Bartek
[Bada Software and Hacking General] faenil:
ok then I don't need it :) already made more :)

thanks to a russian friend, I probably solved the checksum problem :)

good news will come the next days :P
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:

Nice. I have extracted *.FFS and ShpApp.app files.

I'm blind to find the Button where Rename or Delete is stored to output file. :confused:

Edit:

Maybe my fault...

I have bada_scripts_20110104.zip.

Will look into bada_20110106.zip
[Bada Software and Hacking General] faenil:
kubica no reason to make a new script, I'll post something in the next days ;) if it's ok to you, take care about the amss ;)

if you want to do it for personal reason, no problem of course :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] b.kubica:
nevermind, script was already done ;)

you're working on some kind of file system tool, right? We're lucky guys FS images have very simply structure (as you know), only one md5 checksum on it, kewl :)

One of TriX most advantage is work on stages ( e.g. amss is parsed to elf, elf is parsed to memory segments, than we can edit them and TriX roll back to amss again).

adfree, yes I uploaded today latest version (can be found in repository also). As I said it is only text version (command line), more like programmer preview, and it was not designed as end user tool.

faenil, you asked about dissasembler - have you tried IDA? ( quite expensive though ). I tried in trix hack amss (resize memory segments, add own routines), all works fine, now it's time to investigate functions (some of them can be located with locate script).

Another question - ok, it's sad bootloader is crypted with RSA, but I guess is stored in flash decoded. What if we try to access nand directly using Flash_Read/Write? I can't find flash access routines in amss but i did't look

deeply...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] faenil:
I'm not that experienced unfortunately :) I needed a disassembler (person) not a disassembler (software) :)

btw I needed it to discover that it was md5 and on which bytes it was computed :) and I discovered this yesterday evening :)

So now we know everything about ffs and app :)

Still have to understand the new values in pfs header...if you already know that raise your hand :D

Btw, yes I'm working on something like that :) I won't have time now to do the GUI, so I'll probably leave it as an "experienced users only" for the moment...

I've got lots to study for university, and some programming projects to end (for uni too) so my spare time is almost finished and I still have to release a custom firmware for i8910 and a software for that firmware for Symbian...

damn I'm full of things to do xD

from my observations, unk0 fields in FS system header are not *SO* important - I just preserve original values, removed files I want from factory FS, and put file back to phone
