[DEV] Galaxy Tab 7" LCD screen tuning - Galaxy Tab Android Development

Hi Galaxy Tab owners!
Samsung was so kind and sent me a Galaxy Tab (SHW-M180S) to help me developing for it. Thanks Samsung Mobile Korea
That's why, only a few hours after receiving it I introduce support of this device in my research project app named Voodoo Screen Tuning R&D, available for free on Android Market.
This app is very much experimental and not a final product. See it as an internal leak from a R&D lab. But as Linus tells: release early, release often
Please take a look at the app description, and have fun testing this app!
I need your feedback, so.. see you soon.
Note: support starts with snapshot #31.

i have a sch-i800. will it be supported?

If rooted yes sir!

Tried but failed, does not recognize sgt p1000 yet? Can you tell when we can test? Thanks.

Wow this is dedication, an unsecure kernel and an app in less then 5 hours, gratz
Anyway, seems to work fine here, colors are more bright by clicking on "dev", not sure what you made but it works.
Thanks.

Awesome, Do you have a GSM or CDMA tab? Can we expect some custom roms in future?
Great to see a new dev join section
Will give app a try later and give feedback, thnx

Is CM7 for the tab using yet another funky out of nowhere name as device name?
I'll know if you send me a report

Any tab.
However I'm not a ROM guy − if I have a lot of respect for those who deodex and assemble ROMs all day long its extremely boring to me and I prefer doing things not done yet

Snapshot 32: accept "galaxytab" Build.DEVICE from CM7

Thanks, now it works. But I don´t get it, the link brings me to the android market webpage, when I download it there it works great, but when I download in the Market App it doesn´t recognize my device???
Anyway great work! Hope to see more ...

Give a try to snapshot 33
With the overlay interface, you'll be able to see very clearly the effect of enabling/disabling CABC (Content Adaptive Backlight Control)
CABC is enabled in default Samsung settings, disabled in "dev" preset.
Note: much more than backlight is affected, IE the whole response curve with Samsung's advanced & complete CABC implementation.
Example: with a low contrast & dark content, then in the settings (white background)

Is it possible that it doesn't keep settings after a reboot?
Because when i reboot it seems to me that it return to Samsung setting and if i cleck on dev i see the difference.

Auto restore at boot is not yet implemented.
So far I'm thinking about how to write cleanly the codebase to do that despite the variety of device supported, sometimes with "presets" (combination of settings already present in kernel), sometimes with "profiles" (color calibration profiles built from scratch using reverse-engineering and a colorimeter).
I want to write only super cleanly designed code in this app so.. no rush

Ahhh....no worry, i thought it was a bug so i've reported

I don't know if i get it right or not but the only snapshot I see here in the app is 35 and there is no way to change it it.
How is it possible to change to other snapshots?
BTW Thanks for the great work.

BLN port to cm7/miui kernel

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get BLN working on CM7/MIUI kernels but this is still somewhat over the top for me
the needed changes to completely revert led-notifications and add BLN
can be found in my repo in the following branch:
BLN04
the initial commit compiles fine but I'm not sure if it works (haven't tried it yet)
the 2 additional commits on top have changes from the Samsung kernel which most likely do NOT apply to our kernel
and the last one an update to the latest BLN version which doesn't compile since I get an error
I've only added those for completeness' sake
keep in mind we're using the cypress touchkey driver from the Nexus S - also: our touchkey driver has the firmware update-mechanism removed so those parts are missing in the driver
so the BLN patch from Samsung kernels doesn't work easily
some references to make it easier:
* led-notifications (BLN fork): LED notification support
* BLN on GB samsung kernel: initial bln for i9000 gingerbread (neldar's repo)
* initial BLN on morfic's Nexus S kernel (with other stuff in the commit): bln (equals the 1st commit of BLN in my repo)
* changes for BLN to newer version: finally BLN V4 commit can be done
many thanks in advance for your help and collaboration !

which amazes me since with that stuff in led-notifications it compiles fine

Posted a fix in my thread, but Ill do it here too.
touchkey_sleep_onoff isn't declared in touchkey_platform_data, you have to add it. include/linux/input/cypress-touchkey.h is where the struct definition is.
I was working on this and got some issues Thanks Zach !

That is strange, but it makes sense in terms of the error you are getting. It was also the only major difference I saw between my bln code, and your git.
Let me know if it works, I didn't compile test it.

it doesn't seem to work correctly
the buttons are constantly on once they are touched (screen on) and turned off once the screen is off
notifications don't seem to work (according to testers)
I can't test it personally so every testing is a little delayed
attached is the patch on top of the kernel-tree where previously all led-notification-related changes were reverted
hope you can suggest what might be wrong
Thanks once again !

Buttons always being on while screen is on us by design. Add a timer to turn it off if you wish, but I prefer lights always on.
As for notifications, did you push the correct liblights? Check with the bln app to make sure that you have both a compatible kernel, and a compatible liblights.
I can't check the patch right now, as I'm at work, but if its not fixed in ~4 hours, ill take a look at it when I get home.

yeah - I pushed a file named lights.s5pc110.so
but that apparently wasn't the correct / needed on :\
I just had the chance to get on a wifi network and download the BLN test app
and that clearly says that BLN is supported by the kernel but the liblights is NOT the correct one ...
I thought the one for JVH / samsung roms was the correct one (i9000_jvh_BacklightNotification_v3.0.1_update.zip)
but apparently it isn't ...

Can this be done without touching the kernel source? It bothers me to no end that the touch keys stays on while the screen is on :/

I was planning on reworking bln to be more compatible with cm anyway, adding in a userspace interface to control a timer probably wouldn't be too much trouble.
You'd have to ask your dev to incorporate it into the source though.
Oh, and Zach? I had an idea, ill pm you when I get home in an hour.

ok, just went through the led-notifications patch again
and it's included so I must have overlooked it
I can't get it to work at all. The app will "work" with it happily, but the function is broken. Same for my testers :/
My tries to port it before were ending the same way so that's not new but I don't understand how some guys can get it to work with this patch.
EDIT : When a notification comes, the LEDs won't light up, but if I touch the softkeys, then they will light up and stay on until I read the sms/mail etc. (It doesn't happen if I don't have a notification waiting).

[APP][WIP] ISeeYou

Hi guys! My name is Mirarchi and i'm an italian software developer that comes from Windows programming. Recently i bought a fantastic Galaxy Nexus and i started a project called "ISeeYou". This program recognizes your face while you seeing the phone keeping on the screen. When you don't look the phone, the screen will go off after a specified timeout. So this is similar to a popular app integrated in the new Galaxy S III.
Developed for device targeting Android SDK rel 9-14 (Android 2.3 and later)
No 3rd party libs. Uses only integrated system libraries(so it SHOULD work on every Android 2.3/4.0 based device).
Detectes the face, not the eyes(for now).
Customizable timeouts and app starts.
Requirements for using the app
Android 2.3 or later.
Front facing camera that detects your face. You can use the integrated Camera app to verify if the camera can detect your face (this app uses the same face detection system)
Known Issues
While using the app you can encounter the "Failed to connect to camera service" error. This is ok because you can't use the camera while the service is scanning your face. You can simply resolve by retrying to open the Camera app.
Cheers!
When the app detects your face, an "eye" icon will appear on the left side of the status bar such as a notification.
Enjoy the app and let me know the results.
Suggestions are also appreciated.
NOTE: UNISTALL ANY PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION OTHERWISE YOU CAN HAVE STRANGE ERRORS!
Edit 20120616: Upped a new version that should be compatible with devices other than the GNex. Now the app doesn't use constantly the camera, but now polls the camera every N seconds where N is a custom parameter. Also you can specify the maximum scan rate that is the maximum time that the camera is occuped by the ISeeYouService. In the next few days i will releasea FREE version with reduced features. Enjoy!!
Edit 20120617: Released the "free" version based on build 20120616. This version hasn't the 5 minutes limit, but there is no possibility to change settings. This will be available in the "PRO" version and i will sell it in the next few days. Stay tuned!
Edit 20120617-2: New version available! Added a persistent notify icon that links directly to the app. Now when the service is running, will show a "closed eye" icon. When the service detects your face, the eye will "blink" for a split second. Now the service runs in foreground mode. This will prevent undesidered closes of the app by the android system and should solve the FC issues. Cheers!!
Edit 20120617-3: Link for PRO version. Enjoy!!
Edit 20120621: v1.2 available for download on google play. Cheers!
Edit 20120630: v1.4 available for download! Added the exception list feature. With this mode you can "Blind" the i seeyouservice for certain applications. The keepOn button will let you to keep the screen on for exceptions apps. Also now you should be able to run the service on 2.3 devices. Enjoy!
Edit 20121021: v1.4.3 available for download! Enjoy and sorry for delay!
I look forward to this. What help do you need to get it out?
Thanks subvertz, for now no help is needed, but your attention is very appreciated! I only need to wait that google activates my developer account for distributing the app on play store.
Why don't you post the app in the xda developers for testing and people can provide you feedback on the same.
This way you will help the community n also gain some beta testers for your app.

Wow, dude you are the man. i've been searchign for something like this for the past month to use on my Gnex. I hope everything goes smooth and when you need testers, i'll be glad to support.
Looking forward to this. Best of luck!
very good project,love only that features in sIII,hope to see that on gnex too.personally i'd want an app similar to that,keep up the good work,i'll follow the development very closely to finally try yours creation.cheers italian friend.
Edit.. *Obvious stuff*
I was actually thinking about making this myself, do it right so I don't have to
Added a demo link on the first post. Enjoy!
The service started but I didn't see any "eye" icons in my stat bar. I then opened the app and it forced closed endlessly

Sorry dude, fc was my fault. Upping a version that corrects this bug.
For the "eye" icon it should appear when detects your face.
Firstly try with the default android camera application to find the optimal conditions (distance and lighting) to ensure that the device can recognize your face.
Wouldnt it waste the battery constantly checking for the face?
It would seem better to launch the service when the screen is going to time out, check for the face and if seen reset the timer

So is this just like SmartStay from Samsung's Galaxy S3?
You should look up the code for that app and see if you can get some ideas from that, I feel like that would be a better start point than coding from scratch.

[Q] [CM10.1] Android 4.2 pretty slick; multi-user mode?

Hey guys, so I took the plunge and updated from CM10 to CM10.1 today (20121218 build) and I am here to report that Android 4.2 is pretty slick. For those that are going to update, here are a couple of things you might also see:
1. My wireless connectivity was a little sketchy after the update. I had to go into the list of APNs and restore the defaults...after that, everything was fine.
2. On startup, the clock app crashes. In order to stop that (and set new alarms) I had to clear data from the app.
3. If you want to enable developer options, it's hidden now and has to be enabled from the about phone menu.
4. The new features are pretty cool, IMO.
Now my million-dollar question:
Android 4.2 is supposed to bring multi-user support, but I can't find it or figure out how to enable it. From the quick settings panel there is a tile called user switcher, but when you select it it brings up a screen that only allows me to select the current (default) user. There's not much written about it yet...are there any knowledgable peeps out there that can help a brother out and drop some knowledge?
Thanks for reading!
Just guessing. That's all. I'm thinking its a Work in progress.
I'm almost certain that the multi-user support is for tablets only, as for cm 10.1 im dying to try it but I think I'm going to wait till most of the bugs are worked out of it before I take the plunge.
http://10.1.cmxlog.com/?device=d2att here's CM10.1's changelog. It appears multi-user is to come with the next nightly 12/19. Btw questions belong in the Q&A section.
Nice! Thanks. At least I don't have to wait long. I'm stoked to try this out.
About phone-

IIRC: Multiuser is a tablet only-feature in stock Android, highly likely due to a Nokia patent regarding a multiuser function for phones.
Though that might not stop mods from appearing, that enable it on phones, but I don't know if CM will support it on phones in an official release...

I think you're misreading the changelog. This change is to allow the su binary to support multiple users, not to add multi-user support to the ROM in general.

[DEV][BETA-2.4] CyanogenMod 10.1 - A77R builds

Hi everybody!
You might already know me. I develop CM for the SGR. Here I give you my builds of CyanogenMod 10.1 (based on Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean) for the Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-I927).
As I do not own the device, I need some testers first to confirm! Do have a backup!
For general discussion and Q&A: head to this thread.
What works:
Mobile network (2G/3G switch and network selection as well)
Data connection
Data usage statistics
Audio
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Direct (P2P)
Bluetooth
Video player
Accelerometer, orientation, magnetic field, light, proximity, battery temperature sensors, gyroscope
BLN feature (you need either the free or the paid version of BLN Control from Play Store)
Auto brightness
USB On-The-Go
Moving apps to SD card
Camera (single and panorama pictures)
Video recording (480p SD and 720p HD as well)
Full HW acceleration with Nvidia and Samsung codecs
Wireless tethering
Keyboard rotation and key fixes (thx thegreatergood)
What doesn't work:
USB Mass Storage only works manually
Stock sound recorder app (use an external, like MIUI Sound Recorder instead)
Maybe bluetooth A2DP (I couldn't test)
Maybe bluetooth tethering (I couldn't test)
A more detailed bug list and possible solutions can be found here. There may be other bugs, feel free to report them.

don't know what happend but if staring from scratch why not building 4.2.1 instead?
He has to understand your device first, once it is stable he will release for 10.1... He already release for Galaxy R and it is Beta...
So don't worry guys, Please download, test and provide the logcat for him... he will fix as earliest..

This is assertion error. Just wondering if dman has opened all of his zips and removed these lines. Will post a new zip tomorrow with the assertion check removed then will examine your CWM builds.

Should be able to mount USB and transfer a working ROM to the phone for flashing.

Dude you chose to test this, he clearly said to make a backup so,

Should be assert i927, SGH-I927, SGH-I927R, SGHI927,SGHI927R, n1. That's what all my updaters run....

And this will fix keyboard lights in lights.c
char const*const BUTTON_FILE="/sys/class/sec/sec_stempe_bl/backlight"
But you probably already knew that..

I end up getting char: not found...
Has anyone else noticed that the Home button doesn't actually function as a home button (the capacitive button, not the keyboard one.)

[ROM] CM12-Light BETA

A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .
DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.
Android Version:5.0.2
With @Unjustified Dev's CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)
Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))
Bugs:
- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.
- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.
- Report if I left some out
--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.
Oh and also.
I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.
Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ
I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:
Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.
I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.
Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward
ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178
(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better
(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.
(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)
MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU @kireflow90 !
Also can I again thank @Unjustified Dev for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.
Let me be the first to say mic seems to be working great while talking now ty. I'm Glad I'm you're little testing subject lol. Ty u again.
Ok so been playing around a bit and the YouTube app works again...mostly. My purchased items still aren't working. I'll upload a log for the camera in a bit

Camera log
Gps still reboots phone when set to high accuracy, Netflix doesn't connect, Google play movies and TV app doesnt stream due to bandwith issues? I tried the proximity sensor when making a call and it seems to do better than before but like you said still glitchy.

Thanks, I'll get onto working more on this ROM when I get the device, since I broke a promise today I won't give a precise ETA as to when I might get the device, sorry guys. But thanks Kireflow90 for the info.

Yes do my FAM just gave to me I was just using to test flash ur ROM lol
As long as you have a spare to continue using to flash roms then I can't deny something free
Also I will be uploading two versions of the ROM soon, one with build.prop (and soon, among others) tweaks and one that I will keep as vanilla as possible.
I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.
Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash
Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all

Lol didn't even remember i uploaded the vanilla version. Anyway only way to find out if it's fixed is if someone else downloads it and has the same experience

When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V

Yh I was meaning to do that, I'll add it when i get to uploading the dirty build.

Oh I also added an AOSP Camera app there, did it replace the older AOSP one? Are there 2 instances of the app? How does it work for you?
