[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yup I agree - Samsung strikes again at being lazy just doing a blind scan at boot up.

Since all the processes are trying to startup at the same time of the scan - it's causing the perceived lag as they are both fighting each other (for lack of a better term) for resources and I/O and takes forever for them to figure it out.

It would be nice if a Dev could create a 3rd party app that takes control of the Media Scanner - then gives us the options of only scanning certain folders and have it scheduled to run like you mentions - i.e. when <x> app loads, or after you unplug your USB, or just run it manually.

The app I posted isn't that elegant a solution but it does seem to work. My bootup time is cut in half (This is from Power Up to Usable UI Interface with Widgets loaded.).

Just nice to have considering I STILL (i.e. will never) haven't gone to AT&T to exchange my phone due to the shutdown issues I've been having. At least it's not the up to 3 minutes!! :eek: I used to have to wait for me to be able to use the phone again.

LOL.. but coming from an Apple iPhone 3G I was used to it. :D

it truthfully is slow... i have a sd card for more memory so it takes about twice as long than the normal.. im running darky port 8.0 with voodoo but dont see a difference..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Put a file in your folders named ".nomedia" (without quotes) that contain things like rom zips, backups, etc and media scanner will stop spending time sifting through them searching for music and photos

edit....this will also eliminate unwanted images from showing up in the gallery if you have icons or png's that you use for other purposes

With the buildbots not up yet, I've been working on a little project in secret for a while. I call it Cyanobread. My plan here is to make a CM7 that has all of CM 6.1's bells and whistles before the CM7 team does. Some patches I will probably submit, and some will be only for this ROM as they go against the ideas of what Cyanogen wants. I haven't decided yet if I will keep this updated once the buildbots come back. If it divulges from the CM7 project significantly than probably.... otherwise I will just keep this as a mod for a few patches you can add to CM7.

My philosophy behind doing this ROM is the fact that I love CM6 and have used the nightlies as my daily driver and was very dissapointed 7 wasn't up on the buildbots.

Even though this is mostly a CM7Src ROM, please report any bugs here and I will do my best to either report them to the CM Team or fix them myself if I can. Same thing goes for any features you'd like to see added.

My approach to deving is a very collaborative one. Invisiblek, jladronka and DS36 will be helping me with this project. If any other devs would like to help, please shoot me a PM. The more the merrier, I really want to see a nice group project out of this.

Back in my Blackberry days we used to call these Hybrids. Some of the most functional, stable BB OSs were patched together from different OSs or even bits and pieces from different phones.

Of course, some hybrids were the biggest train wrecks also...

Excuse my ignorance, whats the point? Isn't CM7 the best of 6 and 7 all rolled into one sprinkled over some Gingerbread? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n1ghtwish:
This ^^ I'm running gridlock's CM 7 latest build and so far, it's got all the mods that CM6.# has, on GB.

What exactly are you planning on adding that it doesn't already have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpcdeux:
Cause I went from Cm6.1 to to 7 up to the latest 32, and there's nothing at all that has made me say "Oh damn, I miss that from CM6". CM7 has TONS more tweaks, and a pretty bad ass music player.

Glad to see I'm not the only one wondering what the point of this is...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vinylfreak89:
when i started this project that wasn't the case. a lot o the goodies in CM6 were missing... I plan to add my own little touch to it and hopefully diverge from the CM project slightly. Video's not going to happen, having some issue with the touchscreen....will look at it in the morning.

hmmm... no issue with the touch screen... but somehow this compiled lacking a keyboard... blah... i was hopeful... oh well... will deal wiith it in the morning

Hello

First post here so please be gentle!

Recently purchased an X8 and its a great phone apart from the fact it won't or cannot find my factory fitted Audi bluetooth car kit :(

Neither the phone or the car kit recognise each other despite both devices being set to 'discoverable.' I've also asked the phone to scan for new devices

The phone itself can connect to other bluetooth devices such as phones and computers

Is this is a possible problem with the phone or just simply its not compatible with the car kit?

Any help or suggestions would be great.

Many thanks!

Rhys

Downgrade to 1.6 then will work.
[XPERIA X8 General] Rhyso:

Wow....so much for progress......:confused:

Any reason why it doesn't work? Is it something that can be re-programmed? (apart from going back to 1.6)
[XPERIA X8 General] Rhyso:
Well due to the wonders of modern technology I gave it another try and lo and behold, it WORKS! No idea how or why but it works and without having to change any software etc
[XPERIA X8 General] amtzone:
haha lucky for u....:p
[XPERIA X8 General] Buddha:
maybe try reinstall the bluetooth app

download and install like normal .apk

enjoy
[XPERIA X8 General] Rhyso:
Just a bit :)

Thinking about it what I actually did was remove some of the phones that I had paired the X8 with. Once I did that, then my bluetooth kit appeared in the list of devices. I connected and it works a treat :D

copy the last part. in my case 5&1a93e808&0&1

open deviceID on 2.1_2.0.A.0.504_GENERIC_x10i folder that you`ve downloaded and paste your DeviceInstance.

Hello guys,

I want to write an app that registers my android phone as a HID through bluetooth to my PC. I have found many descriptions how I can connect a bluetooth keyboard or mouse to an android phone but no working solution doing generally the opposite.

The most helpful so far was groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/73f03a22963b356d, but as you can see there also isn't any solution provided.

So is it currently even possible doing this with android? Could there be a way using the underlying BlueZ with the NDK?

Any hints and help would be much appreciated.
[Android Software Development] Khoral:
I'm currently working on something related, which is connecting an android phone to a PS3.

You can look in /system/etc/bluetooth, notably the main.conf file, in which you'll find a Device class definition. I yet have to try to change it, to see if it changes the way the device is recognized by others :)

Hope this will help.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
lets get this correct download mode works

Flashed to Eclair but still fails to boot as voodoo was enabled /is enabled .

Therefore phone cannot be seen by PC and cannot boot to format .

can you get into clockwork recovery mode and format from that and wipe all data .

You said

i used i9000 to download software with wifi

because the battey was low , so it turned off~

What software was this you downloaded .

You get no other answers it will have to be a Samsung service centre .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rathan.yo:
thank you very much ~

i'm not good at English , so "Eclair" means 2.1 rom ?

1. when it turn off i can't get in recovery mode ,so voodoo is enabled when i flashed 2.2 rom .

2. i used a software named "UC xunlei" to down a salmpe 720P RMVB video at that time . then it turned off.

3. clockwork recovery can't use . only samsung recovery mode can get in.

4. my i9000 was sending to Samsung service centre yesterday, but they said "maybe they can't repair it either"

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
I'll try to walk you through step by step through a method that has never failed..If it still fails then your internal SD might have issues..

1. Download XXJPU firmware from samfirmware.com

http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5

The password to this zip file is: samfirmware.com

Once the file is extracted, you will have 4 files in it:

GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5

I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5

MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5

s1_odin_20100512.pit

2. Open Odin

Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s

That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe

3. In Odin:

check Re-Partition

Click

PIT

and select s1_odin_20100512.pit

Check and click

PDA

and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5

Check and click

PHONE

and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5 The file that has MODEM in its file name.. SORRY!!!!!

Check and click

CSC

and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5

Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.

3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).

4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer

5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.

6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.

7. If you still encounter the same error then report back here... I might have another idea. Hopefully you don't get the error again though...

Edit:

If that fails you can read this guy's post..

This guy seemed to have been lucky and got is supposed dead I9000m SGS working again. Here's his procedure:
