[Q] Possible to port codecs from SGS?

Posted this over at the Nexus S forum too, but no answers. Maybe better luck here?
From what I have gathered the SGS supports a lot more video/audio formats than Nexus S out of the box (correct me if I am wrong). Will it be possible to port these codecs from the SGS over to the NS?

Anything is possible.. The question is, does anyone WANT to put in the effort to do so? This would probably be better in a Nexus S forum though.

Hmmm, well I suppose it is very interesting to play more media files on the Nexus S if the case is that the SGS supports a lot more codecs...

For now, you'd need the TouchWiz framework.

it'll be nice to be able to have those on the phone too

[Q] USB-Host with ICS?

Does anybody knows, if the ICS ports for the I9000 support USB-Host?
Is there finally USB Host possible with the I9000? coz i saw this awsome app here https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontrollerand would be pretty cool to run on my phone. i thaught because android 4.0 supports USB-Host maybe, the ports do too.
Happy new Year and Happy hangover btw

There is a long thread about the same topic.

[Q] Cm9 ~ Aokp Features

I recently flashed my P1000 with both Cm9 & AOKP Roms, after a quick installation of both Roms, i decided to AOKP rom as it seemed to offer more features and a secondary launcher which i found quite useful.
My question is in comparing the two roms, what are the main differences and features of each rom? Given that people are clearly fond of both.
I've that the Usb host Control apparently works using a Y cable in the Cm9 Rom,
I've read through AOKP rom thread where this feature is barely if even mentioned.
i am planning on getting a female converter next week to test this and am hoping i can stay on the AOKP rom but if not the Usb host feature might swing me.
Can someone spread some light on this thread please.

Since you are getting the cable anyway, why not you try and let us know if AOKP works with that.

I sure will do that Though it does say on the 1st page of Cm9 USB HOST works with Y cable and nothing related to USB hosting in AOKP thread, though i read the kernels were merged, so as well as trying to find out if AOKP supports USB hosting, i am wanting to find out what features Cm9 has that AOKP doesnt and visa versa.

Yeah, the "secondary" features such as USB host and TV out are not tested/mentioned in AOKP.
We need more users to feedback.
As for direct features comparison, it is also hard. Each gas their tweaks.
But AOKP allow me to toggle off the navbar completely easily even in the middle of a game.
That is superb.

I will be sure to add my feedback once tested, im hoping to to get a mouse and keyboard working on a Usb hub, but not sure if they can both be run at the same time, hopefully they can.
TV-out also brings up some interesting questions, as far as i know TV-out isnt working on the either builds, however i cant confirm that since i dont have a TV-out cable, and reading it doesn't work has made me somewhat reluctant to get one. Possibly someone else could confirm the workings of the TV-out as this is another feature which i am interested in.
The Tweaks part is also interesting as i understand each Rom has its little Tweaks which are hard to pin point, but that is somewhat what i am hoping to do with these questions.
AOKP rom control seems to have quite a few more options than the cm9 builds, I found the option to change music tracks via volume buttons was a really nice touch.. I would love a option for a LED torch as well but i dont think that feature is working in either builds.

I thought Humberos got HDMI Out working for CM9.

Tv out is working on Cm9, but sound is not working through the RCA cable.

Thanks for replies ; It would seem Cm9 is offering secondary features such as
USB hosting & TV out and possibly a few others which are yet to be mentioned.
I am unaware if AOKP currently supports these secondary/hardware related features. I have read that the kernels were merged but am unaware if the merging has brought these features though, It would be awesome if they have been.
Regarding TV-Out on Cm9 ~ If it is working in Cm9 i assume you mean only the HDMI cable is working with sound and the RCA with video and no sound?

More like it works completely using HDMI pin out.
As for RCA cable only video.
Something like that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

I take it the TV-Out feature is untested on AOKP but confirmed on Cm9 with pin out cable, As well as the Usb host.
These seem like 2 solid features cm9 is offering that AOKP currently isn't, hopefully the TV-out will be implemented into in the near coming future. I will update the status on USB hosting hopefully later this week.

Stimpz0r just announced AOKP #40
Tv-out working.

That truly is awesome news Seems like all the features are being integrated Between the two.. thanks for the update..i will now reconsider getting a HDMI cable along with a USB converter.

UPDATE ~ ON USB HOSTING
Usb hosting is somewhat currently working on AOKP.
I currently have my Tab wired up to a Usb hub, where i can view my 8gb memory stick and mount it.. I am also able to pick up my Cannon camera, however i cannot mount it.
Keyboard and mouse are not detected, though i think to get this working i need to try a different wiring method.
Question ~ I would like to know if anyone has got a mouse and keyboard working on a Hub ? on AOKP or CM9 as i think its the hub which causes a issue in this area, meaning as i currently stand i need to get a different configured Y cable.

Hi sir, kindly share which thread for the Y cable configuration, ROM and kernel. I cant seem to find these threads.
Thank you

[Q] New to Nexus One. Got some questions.

Hi, Guys,
I just broke my old HD2, and though I should change another phone. Not a big fan of new phones, so bought an used Nexus One, which is with the same hardware as HD2.
But apparently, the development for N1 is not as popular as HD2. I went through the forum, and did not find many roms for N1. And there is not a thread that lists all the roms for N1.
I got a few questions, and hope some of you guys might be kind to help me with them
1. Is there a full HWA ICS rom for N1?
2. What is the most stable ICS rom for N1 right now?
3. What are some of the current unstable issues in ICS or JB for N1?
Anyway, I am still using the GB rom, and studying the instruction of installtion. Hope I can find a satisfied ICS or JB soon. ^^
Glad to be part of N1.
Cheers,

1.) Yes.
2.) Evervolv ICS, though it hasn't been updated for months (texasice has been working on Jellybean).
3.) Jellybean ROMs are all considered alpha releases but Evervolv JB 4.1 is fairly stable for me. Only issue I remember is not being able to use USB tethering, which I rarely use anyways. JB 4.2 is currently being worked on so the buglist is shortening as time goes on.
I'll let you find the links for these ROMs in the dev thread and fill in the blanks but this should serve as a quick and dirty summary. Btw, if you aren't already aware you'll have to learn how to use Blackrose (and possibly a2sd or m2sd) before you being playing around with ICS or later ROMs.

Just wondering, why didn't you purchase a used HD2? Since you already get used to that phone and like the custom ROMs in that section.

Well, the ICS/JB Roms have HWA, but not hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding, unlike the hd2

Actually, I have already bought three HD2 since I started to play with this phone. I bricked the 1st one after I burned the T-mobile rom into my HTC version HD2. I broke the screen of the second one, then I bought a broken 3rd one just to replace the LCD screen, then I seemed break the LCD connection cable.... Now I have three HD2 main boards and three broken screens... It seems I had no luck for HD2.
So I thought I should change another one, and I found a good price for this used N1 just for $70.

I think the guys are working on it??? It will be possible since the HW of N1 is the same as HD2?

[IDEAS][ROM] Nexus 7 Car ROM

Hey folks,
I'm thinking about to build a ROM for people that use their Nexus 7 in their car.
Actually a ROM build for a built-in Nexus 7.
Does anybody like this idea? If yes,
- Should this rom be AOSP, Paranoid Android, PAC, Cyanogenmod, AOKP, ... based?
- Which apps should be included? (ODBTorque, OTA Updater, Navigon, ...)
All ideas are welcome!

If you do, there are alot of things to consider. the biggest, being otg host mode charging. A few more are usb dac drivers, landscape-able media players, modded shortcuts for easily accessible volume control..... There is actually alot more than most would suspect. Not to mention the issue of correct sleep/wake modifications.
All that said, I hope you do carry through with this, as it will be alot of work. Timur has a rom "USBROM" and kernel which provide all these things, and is geared primarily towards in dash and other fixed install options. You might give it a good study to get ideas on how to proceed with your own creation.
"What do you tell a man with two black eyes? Nothing. He has already been told twice."

Why not just use a car app? My personal favorite is CarHome Ultra.

Because if it is a fixed install in which the charger port is not accessible, then just an app wont get it done. Especially if you intend to use things like odb, usbdac (which is crucial in a dash install), and other external components.
"What do you tell a man with two black eyes? Nothing. He has already been told twice."

Take a look at Timur's USB ROM if you have not already. I believe that's what most of us are using since he has implemented some amazing things like otg while charging and even fast charging while in otg mode!

To the above, I think this is the ROM I had in mind.
I was going to say theirs a dev already working on a Car Dedicated ROM, perhaps the OP could help contribute to that? Get a really unique and useful CAR ROM made?

Interesting....
but I think it's wrong form post in Android development section instead
