Porting HTC Browser and Google Sync from 2.1 Rom to AOSP 2.0

Hi all i know i made a thread about porting the milestone browser but a person told me that it cant be done because of a kernel issue which is fine. Anyways this is a more realistic project, to port the 2.1 browser (which looks incredible with that green loading bar) and the multitouch and everything, but to AOSP 2.0, to that rom. Anyone got any ideas because I know a lot of people would want this. And of course the google sync we can finally fix.

i tried installing 2.1 browser to aosp 2.0 with adb but it gave an error.
Failed: Older SDK

So is it not possible to port it? I got the same issue when i tried. But im sure it can be done with some work

there is some older sdk problem as the error shows. now the question is that if 2.0 and 2.1 got different sdk. the devs can give us a clear idea about it. if 2.0 and 2.1 got same sdk then it shud work. if sdk's are different then source of browser must be compiled with new sdk and for this we will need the source files of browser.

Once we figure that out and we know what files we need, could it be as simple as pushing lib and permission files (for example) or would it have to actually be reprogrammed into the system? How might we be able to go about figuring out what files it uses? haha sorry for all the questions

check the 2.1 sdk version (should be sdk version 6 i think), change the build.prop on a 2.0 rom for sdk version from 5 to 6, then try again.
It most like won't work because HTC's browser depends on htc's webcore which depends on htc's framework anyway

Hey, i tried it and this is what i got in logcat.

is there any way to bypass this? or fix it?

you could always wait for 2.1 aosp to be released

[Q] Usage of Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended

I'm attempting to access the camera and its features through Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended.dll, but am only coming up with COM errors. Any help would be appreciated.
PhotoCamera cam = new PhotoCamera(CameraSource.PrimaryCamera);
when I go into debugging mode and inspect "cam" it shows that most of its properties are null. Does anybody know how to initialize this?

You can only access the camera from the photo Chooser task:

Using the official SDK APIs yes, but I'm talking about Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended.dll
There are more methods inside of this dll than is normally available to developers.

Have you granted yourself the necessary permissions? You need to add ID_CAP_CAMERA to gain access to the PhotoCamera class.

How did you get it load to solution? I getting error:
Code:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24eec0d8c86cda1e' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)

You need to get the file from phone image. When you got it, you can reference it in your windows phone project.
To allows compiling your project you will need to remove the strong name check on media.extended.dll (in a visual studio command prompt sn -Vr pathto.dll)
Restart Visual Studio and you should be able to build your project

sn -Vr just whitelists the assembly on your PC. Why are your assemblies broken to begin with? All my GAC libraries work without errors (when referencing them). I suggest you work on extracting clean files.
With regards to COM -- what are the exceptions?

I've already added <Capability Name="ID_CAP_CAMERA"/>, no luck. Seems like I'm missing some important part. Unfortunately guys who already had camera working doesn't like to share experience with community...

Could you please post your dll's, test project and some instructions? I'm really curious to get video camera working.

I'm able to get this working. The trick seems to be to create a CameraVisualizer, and then SetSource to your camera object. The camera is then shown in the CameraVisualizer. (This is as far as I've got)
Here's a sample: dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/Flashlight.zip
You'll need to follow the instructions here to add Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended: thounsell.co.uk/2010/11/avoiding-reflection-adding-the-interopservices-library-to-the-wp7-sdk/

Thank you, perfect, get it works!

run the unlocker again and it will work again .

ya.. thanks... found that out... was looking for a more "permanent" fix... still the nicest and most functional flashlight... better than that white screen crap hands down.. even having to reunlock every time..

Thanks, but it's not so functional and a little buggy (was written in couple of hours, just for academic purposes). HTC have a real nice flashlight, cool looking and functional but runs on HTC handsets only... They directly (probably using native code calls) manipulating LED.
Will see, may be in future we'll have more expanded API (I hope so!)...

Just a note, in case you didn't notice, or other people don't know, that we're leaking videos when using this as a flashlight. I'm pretty sure that videos and thumbnails are created in IsolatedStorage for the application. Uninstall/reinstall should clear them, but we should really delete them as soon as they're created. It'd be nice if there was an API that didn't actually record, but we'd need to see whats in PhotoLibEnt.dll to figure that out.

lol i guess im not picky... it would be fine for me ... again only dislike is the having to reunlock after a zune sync... the other glitches are minor to me.. i mean it does whats needed... you tap..it opens..tap on it comes... tap off it goes.. that = functional to me... the cert thing is all i see bad..

You don't need to reinstall the applications each sync. Just re-unlock it before opening the apps, and if you've already opened the dialog to be greeted with the prompt to uninstall - just hit the Windows Key to cancel and go back to the Start screen.

[Android-DEV-testing] Panel power up fix

Hi,
I'm opening another testing thread for android development.
This thread aims at testing the diamond panel power up / down code that I've reworked.
It has been already tested on my DIAM100 with a sharp panel but I need some more tests on different diamonds. From what I've seen, the diamond 500 do not yet have any panel code but I need some diam500 users to confirm that with a small log.
THIS THREAD IS FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO USE ANDROID AND ADB.
Any feedback is welcome. If you're experiencing problems, please attach a dmesg log so that I can analyze the problem, otherwise I probably won't be able to do anything to help you.
People who wants to help but don't know how to make a dmesg log should start by searching for a guide on the forum. Once you've got adb working and know how to make a dmesg log, then follow the small instructions bellow.
Source tree : http://gitorious.org/~jbruneaux/lin...ux-msm-home-work/commits/htc-msm-2.6.27-panel
Logging instructions:
If you want to make a usefull dmesg log, then follow these few steps :
1/ Reboot your phone (that way, I can get the boot log, which contains tons of usefull debug outputs).
2/ Once the phone is booted into android, make a first dmesg log to ensure we have all the boot logging data
3/ Now, turn off / on 3 times the screen
4/ Make a new dmesg log
5/ Post the two dmesg logs along with a short description of the problem you encoutered (i.e screen does not power up or must be "forced" to be turn on by blind touching the unlock bar, ...).
Link to the kernel package : http://www.4shared.com/file/uIoHquR7/kernel_modules_diam_panel_2011.html

Just an idea: wouldn't you get a much broader reply if you create an initrd script that does all that logging stuft onto the FAT partition automatically?

virus if we lower screen resolution of diamond l480 x 640 in to 320 x 240 we can gain speed i dont know how to do it like james which is doing rhalp nand project did in ralp n gain speed as 36.5 in neocore like huawe u8150 hav same processor as diamond n running on 320 x 240 resolution ?? i was wondering if this is possible ppl tried but they are unable to find data sheet od diamond if u could help in this helicopter88 did lower but he dont know how to scale ?

In fact, helicopter88 has already contacted me for this downscale but I don't have any clue on how it does work. Right now, my aim is not especially to get the diamond running faster but to improve the panel power on/off because I've got this fix for a long time now but before submitting it for the main tree, I must have some tests on different devices.
Maybe if helicopter88 or james have successfully reduced the resolution we can see how to make it available for all users if it really accelerate the global device speed.
Datasheet are not available for most of the components of our devices and qualcomm have protected all those stuffs with DNA and things like that. We have a few application notes but nothing really specific to one phone or one component. The only way we can work is with other official kernels and reverse engineering.
Regards, Jerome

I'd like to test this out,once i fix my phone...
No datasheet for our phone,is really hard to find what needs to be changed to scale the display..

this one consuming battery as i think and screen is pretty gud thn other kernls

hi Jerome
Nice work! thanks for looking in that matter ! That issue kept me from using android since it was quite a pain to wake the panel up !
Now the screen powers up pretty faster, even though i still see some glitches sometimes (but less than before) and seems like it's more difficult to power it on while it's sleeping (sleep mode is set on 1 in startup).
I'll do a dmesg later on, if I remember well, my diam has a toshiba panel..

Thanks very much for bundle. I had some problems with running haret (it always does softreset after start..) but it seemed to be problem of energy rom, I flashed back stock rom and it works fine.
I had also problem with calibration but deleting calibration file solved id.
Now, android is running quite well, but I can't download anything from market. (It always says after while that download was unsuccesfull). I have google account, synchronizing with gmail works fine but market not.
Can you help me with that?
Thanks.

LG Expo/IQ Android port

Hi,
Lately I was playing with different Android kernels and found one that kinda works - it boots to Android about 50% of the time, you have to play with enabling / disabling phone before
running haret to get it going and once it does boot, only thing that works is screen. Keyboard, radio, sound... that's all unresponsive. Touch screen works but it is reverted.
I beleive that this kernel is uncompressed version of one of Toshiba TG01 early builds but I can't remember where did I downloaded it. If somebody want to give it a try check my post at android-on-lg-expoiq thread at lg-expo . com.
Recently, I discovered that Expo service manual is available at w w w . cpkb . org/wiki/LG_GW820_eXpo_service_manual , and that's great help in developing linux kernel
for our device.
Would anyone be interested in such project ?

Nice find. Is there anything I can do to help?

Thanks josefcrist,
I started with markinus's tg01 branch, I was able to compile older kernel ( up to "msm_ts: add support for invert x/y axes" commit ) and have some success with it.
Device does boot ( as long as you keep it connected with usb cable to pc) but touch screen is reverted on x axis, so right now I'm trying to fix that.
I have very limited knowledge in coding, so it might take a while

HTC One V primou + CM11: Bluetooth smart ready (BLE)
HTC One V is a Bluetooth smart ready device by Wiki page "HTC_One_series". I've installed the latest beta (29) of CM11 4.4.4 with my HTC One V primou. Application says "Sorry, Bluetooth LE is not supported on this device". Is this a bug?

Aww, I have the primoc
I guess I'm stuck with 4.2 right now :/
Besides that, I'm glad that the HoV is still being worked on

I believe the command is
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also, make sure your computer recongnizes your phone by typing
fastboot devices

I have test it too, Beta29 has bug in Mute In-Call problem. But camera working in Photo mode.
