I found this: http://www.kjell.com/content/templa...9&path=97000000,119000000,149500000,151500000

Translation: Used by for example mobile phones with USB host (it's own built in USB controller).

Is the USB "HOST" Cable the same as this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinddavis:
That cable doesn't look correct.

[correction - that cable at kjell looks correct for hooking two USB On-The-Go devices together. So if you wanted to hook your Archos to another Archos or to a blackberry.]

Look for a micro usb Nokia n810 host cable. Or "Micro USB Host OTG". They seem widely available in the us on eBay

Usually they have the micro USB male connector and a full size female connector on the other. Be careful because some are mini USB, you want micro USB

Look on the us eBay for a picture.

Here is a pretty good picture also - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51045 several people have confirmed this one works.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foh1981:
Yeah, the connector is obviously wrong on that one. I was mostly curios about whether this USB HOST cable was the same as an OTG.

That's the only cable of OTG type that I've seen in any retail store in Sweden (although I haven't been looking for it until now), so I was thinking of maybe getting it in the store and then get an adapter for the connector. But since there's a special pinning on these cables (as I understand from the Wikipedia article) maybe that doesn't work?

I'll probably go for the Nokia cable anyway, just to be sure, should be able to find it in a retail store somewhere...

Ok so I've been searching and haven't found anyone else with the prob, or solution, but I know with a rooted phone you have to dial *22899 to update roaming, but since I flashed kaosfroyo v39 I can't update the roaming. It starts to but then just hangs up. Help?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
What happens if you dial *228, long press menu to bring up the keyboard when the connection occurs to press the number 2.

If that doesn't work, you can nandroid backup, install a stock Eris ROM like xtrSENSE, xtrROM, xtrRCMix, or PlainJane and use that to update the roaming PRL, then Nandroid restore back to Kaos.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe1989:
When trying to put my desire HD i'v been told to hold down the power button and the options of virbrate, slience should be there, however all i get is power off, restart and airport mode!

anyone got any ideas been googling but no avial

thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeMelbourne:
Maybe not the answer that you are looking for, but there is a free widget in the Market called 'SilentMode OnOff'.

Once installed, you can add it to your desktop(?) as a widget (1x1). It is a button that has 3 states:

* Normal (not silent)

* Silent with vibrate

* Silent without vibrate

It's like a mini version of the stock widget that allows you to enable/disable wifi/bluetooth/GPS/sync/etc.

I find this easier than using the volume buttons on the side to make it silent before bed. Those buttons don't feel like they'll last very long anyway...

HTH,

Mike
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
It is possible to have the options you are talking about, I have them in my power menu, but you need a deodexed custom rom to get them.

It comes standard in leedroid and rcmixhd, and is an optional addon for android revolution.

Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgkeh:
Just hold down the vol- button. It will go to silent mode first, followed by silent with vibration.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
There's an HTC widget called Profiles under Settings in the widget list. Does the job for me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoshi_523:
Yes custom ROMs such as the latest LeeDrOiD 1.3 / 1.3a have the power menu you describe when you hold the power button however be warned if you are flashing it make damn sure you have Radio S-Off using One Click Radio S-Off. You will need root access and Eng S-off using Clockwork Recovery but be sure you get RADIO S-OFF as if you don't you'll loose full super user access and get other restrictions that come with the latest 2.2.1 build by HTC that there is currently no fix for. :eek: believe me this is how my phone is now as this wasn't made clear on the guide on the LeeDrOiD page.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afrcom15:
So your at it again, Lee's rom or any of the 1.72 roms on this board are not the problem, you clearly are :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
Good Work DamianGTO.. I hope it becomes stable..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Me to.:p

The problem i do have is root issues.

I feel thats most important to solve before i fix other things.

I do run it myself now on a rom from the kitchen.

I waiting for some answer from the steam guy :-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lanox:
going to try it when i get home.

Damian i've installed your Kernel in Theme kitchen and I cannot. Install any theme. Can You Help Workout this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
I will give it a try tomorrow. Dl'ed the file. Just getting too late now..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
?

With this steam kernel it should work. I have not tryed more then one and that was some error on that. I dont know why'd I will look into that later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mentalities:
Ok i hope you can fix it. I will wait for it.

i Idon't know if i can handle your steam kernel. Can i use there the apps z4mod and z4control for tweaks or is there any other method?

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
This kernel dont support z4mod.

But I will see if I can use that to.

So no you cant use this tools on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Way to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Alberto96:
i can use this with jpy 2.2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mark.doe:
I am going to test this!

Edit:

I flashed with a stock JP7 and then Damian's Steam Kernel afterwards.

Everything is working flawless, no problems at all even after two hours extensive using.

Quadrant shows a 1213 which is normal on JP7.

Later I am going to try with Lagfix enabled and other ROMs.

I like the Steam recovery, somehow strange, but kewl and modern ;-)

Kernel seems to be more responsive than the stock kernel!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mark.doe:
ok, I flashed my fon with Nitr8's insanity 0.3.2 based on Android 2.2.1.

After that (without even booting it) I flashed with Damian's Steam Kernel.

Everything went flashless, Systems comes up fast - BUT:

The Baseband is NOT recognized from the Steam Kernel. There we still ned to fix, but everything else is working well.

Responsiveness is very good. I am very happy with it so far as it is looking promising.

Using the Quadrant Score gives me just 1180. This is really not enough.

Nevertheless it feels very responsive and smooth ??

Feelig (especially in Recovery Mode and other things like that) very dodgy and often throwing errors out on console makes me not worrying as it is still alpha.

Why is this kernel using 300Hz ? next I need to try some optimizations though.

Edit:

after 2 reboots suddenly the baseband is correctly recognized ??

so I can confirm now it works sufficent to be tested on JPY 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Seems to work okey.

This kernel base is the same that the latest z4mod kernel I did.

So they should work the same after you booted up the phone.

The steam recovery is fun, but its need more work to be safe.

**Damiangto steam kernel, 346MB, 300HZ **
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
*** UPDATE **

I have fixed the root issues.

It should work, but if you get any problem just tell me;)

I did update the kernel file on the first post.

So download it if you use the first kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Nice, kitchen ready?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
The kernel is stable, but the recovery is still alpha and i must test that more and hope for an update if the steam engine.

But if you have a place for kernels thats not stable then you can use it.

I know many want a steam kernel and im suppriced that none have done any yet on jpx source that works.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Yes, maybe start in the beta section to see if is stable
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tricky103:
Okay Damian.. Just jumped in with both feet into this Kernel..

Looks nice.. I will continue testing over the weekend,,

Well until I reflash, but the install was super easy, and it installed with no problems.. Looks nice and easy to use..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sierra November:
So far so good.

Installed this kernel under Darky's latest 8.0 ROM. Working fine so far!

i try it since yesterday.. all sounds goods for the lagfix .. lagfix is perfect/very fast ..

But since yesterday, i'm not able to have root permission after apply lagfix ;(

Because i had read that to have root privilege, sys partition have to be convert, i took the Ext4-no RFS (all ext4 + fake efs), but system didnt't start anymore.. need to re Odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well it can sometimes go wrong if you convert all partition on the same time.

The best is always convert one partition at the time.

But it always wise to have a backup when you try to convert.

afterburner

i was going to try the afterburner with a Criskelo's theme .

it includes updater-script and update-binary.

the updater scipt is as follows

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/media");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Install complete!");
unmount("/system");

there are 6 system apks and 2 framework-res apks which i assume will go to /system/app/ and /system/framework/ directory respectively. how is this done?

I don't know how to do the following

Help is much appreciated.

(PS I installed another ROM package thru the ZIP command which functioned fine. )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Look at my yes afterburner script.

You only need 2 rows.

Copy app and copy framework.

May you need to copy them to the root of the script.

I will check that theme later on an upload it to my freedrive;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AbuYahya:
Sorry still having problems. I have made the afterburner.zip file. put it in /sdcard/steam/ on clicking the afterburner option in the steam recovery it just flashs once and nothing happens.

If I rename the file (to afterburner .zip i.e. with a space before .zip as you have done in the first post ) or if I delete it completely then I get the same msg about putting the file in correct loctaion then unmounting.

Incidently, the USB Mount is not picked up on my computer (windows 7 x64 ultimate).

i'll try with your file now to see if it recognises it....with the space befoe .zip it does not so I assume this was a mistake. But if I remove the space it does recognise it so there must be a problem with the afterburner.zip i made.

on second attemp did recognize it then froze on installing theme.!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AbuYahya:
Manage to install it but broke filesystem. Thr recovery boot post suggested running fsck.

It may have been due to lagfix. Had loops setup.

Have managed to reformat and restore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] danez02600:
The problem come from "not enought space" while converting...

I have remove some apk file in /system/app/ that are bigger like swype map etc..

The convertion is now successfull..

I try to restore (using copy) my original file.. i can't because the same problem (no enought space)..

Why the system partition has not the same size ?

After manage to convert sys partition, i convert the data and dbdata to ext2.. convert is successfull but some apps i had install before converting are not here (titanium, gscript)

, why ?

I reinstalled them it's ok..

An other things, i don't have the debug mode (i have set adb run as root in boot option), so i'am not able to connect using adb shell :(

I have made a new kernel.

This time I add Jfs file system support for the people that wanted that.

I also add Tiny RCU for a smaller memory footprint.

I also changed lowmemory killer to work better.

I tweaked the ram some more and now you have 349MB ram.

Still HD video work in camera and youtube.

Ok, 1st install was good.. Didn't have root, so booted into kernal and lagfixed to try the recommended ext4... On reboot I no longer have data/app.

edit.. No more for me tonight, time for bed. nn
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Sounds strange. Never had that issue.

The only thing i can think of if you have to little room left on system. You need about 15MB free.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
***UPDATE***UPDATE***

I made a new kernel again :-)

This time i did upgrade the busybox to 1.18.1 and I did remove the logging after the phone booted up. you still got full logging in recovery.

Without the logging the phone will be a little smother and I hope a little faster.

I don't know why there is debug code in the kernel in the first place.

Normally you don't have debug code in a production code. it will always be slower then without it.

I use ext2 on data and jfs on the rest of partitions on the phone.

I do get 350MB ram now and the phone do work very well.

Its funny for I did try jfs before on z4mod and I did think it was not stable, but with steam it seams much better.

I have change file system back and fort many times now between ext2, ext4, rts and jfs without any data loss. Even flashed different steam kernel to make sure it work.

So i hope this is safe to.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cynsx:
Hi DamianGto,

I have never tried your kernel before and I want to try

I have read all the posts of 21pages in this thread but I still have no idea about the difference of the files on your first post, i.e. the difference between zip, 300, 256 and 500. which one should i choose to flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalGavu:
Working fine with all jfs. Can you add voodoo sound? And can you make some options in stem to make screen darker than default because for me it's too bright...

Edit : forgot to ask how is the battery life?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] peda_k:
Gogo Cypher!

Hope for a positive feedback from you!

And thanks Damian for keeping this project up!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Deadline works great on all files system.

I have not seen any strange thing with jfs so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well the last kernel is the best and has more thing in it.

I just keep the others if someone need them.

But you should use the last version if you can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Voodoo sounds seams to be better now and I hope supercurius do fix the last things that hardcore is unhappy with.

Then i will deside if it going into this steam kernel.

I will not add any change to fix any screen related stuff.

The reson for that its only few that has this problem and like it is now many more get problem after changes. So i will wait and see if there will be an better way to do it.

Battery life should be good. i have not tested it on the last version do lack of time, but it should be a little better then before. And people do report it has good battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GalGavu:
I mean, about the screen, that not as default but as an option in steam. That would suits everyone. I thing that's good idea but I understand that I'm on of few:) So only voodoo sound lacks. So far so good. Keep going.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
I will look into voodoo sound and see what sc has done to improve the issues that has been.

Many things i do add to the kernel i want to be stable and good.

No use to have things that not working good.

I also looked into uv/ov to gain more power to it, but i don't feel its ready yet. Many do have problem with it. And the patch that is on the git is old and not made for 2.2.1 froyo.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well i just want to try uv to see if the phone can use less power. That should make something on better life. If oc also work with stock power then the phone will be faster without any battery drain.

I flashed the 1g version.

I followed your advice in the first post on the lagfix options, ext2 on data and all others jfs. I also enabled 'use fake /efs partition' in misc setting.

The conversion seemed successful after several minutes of processing. But I could not install any software which the system warned me about insufficient space.

What should I do in order to fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
What software do you try to install?

Can you install anything from the market?

If you have low space in system and you try to install system stuff it will give you this error.

Market use cache partition and that's only 30MB. But if you candy download anything then go into recovery and change the file system on the cache to se if utter works for you.

It can be a corrupted cache if you are unlucky.

New kernel(1h)

Now with Voodoo sound v4.

I did try this version out and it was alot better then other version i have tryed. Good work SC.

I also did add it to this kernel for many people did ask for it.

So here it is:p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cynsx:
I did not install anything from market. only tried quadrant and faster fix

My system partition had about 50M free at that moment.

I converted everything back to rfs and the result was the same.

Then I flashed back to SpeedMod without lagfix then i can install software again.

I have no idea which steps I did wrong. Anyway, I will try your latest release to see if it works on my machine this time

One more to ask, do you recommend converting all partitions to ext2, not only data partition, as ext2 is the fastest among others
