Hi, is there any chance to have a default android launcher and homescreen and actually all plain android system without these samsungs rubbish, what I mean - is any other similar android device on market which have plain android software and maybe we can just port (copy with or without modification) them into our device ?
Any advice ? which device is the closest to SGS ?
I know there is a few 3rd party launchers around but I wish to start to mod my phone from really basics, second thing samsung tWlauncher and other samsung apps are really poor. I am really beginner with android but if there is full SDK from google maybe we can just compile a new versions of launcher and any other components ?
Not at the moment but my guess is that when samsung gives us froyo (sometime in august) a vanilla version will be along in no time
My day to day work involves making variants of Android showing off my companies's audio processing IP. Our IP is already in the Galaxy S series of phones...
However, I have some 'hacks' I want to try out, and I am curious - Is the version of Audioflinger.so that runs on the Galaxy S series in any way different from the 'stock' .so? In general, I find the answer is 'no', nobody touches that. So it's easy to rebuild and just 'adb push' right on top.
What sort of compile/cpu/link variance is there between the Nexus One and the Galaxy S? I assume some of you that make custom ROMS can answer this very easily... I know for example that when making audioflinger.so for Tegra2 platforms I have to force soft-fpu, etc. Does somebody have the build.mk for G.S. phones they use to build their roms? Or should I just go digging into the repos people use for custom roms?
Thanks.
Hi,
Request To All The Dev Working On Ideos X6
Can You Let me Know If There Is Any Possibility OF Having Wifi Direct Feature On Our Phone
more here:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/03/samsung-galaxy-s-first-smartphone-to-be-wi-fi-direct-certified/
It Will be Better than Bluetooth For Big File Transfers
there are only two devices in the market with this feature atm. lg optimus black & sgs2. sgs 1 don't have it..
i have sgs2, but not other phone to use wifi direct with it..
hope we can have it too.. but will have to wait till official or a custom ics rom as base for a easy porting.. as current android library don't support it.. it is coded on the above devices as a result of open souce android license b/w these omes... and also they have native 3g video calling feature and we don't have it in short they modify it desirely ( ui + system library )..
currently it would not be possibly to port whole layer of code as its very difficult as it would be embedded in ics it eould easy then just to port wifi port thing,atm no one can say about its dependencies on other files
ics adding wifi direct feature-
android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/10/android-40-platform-and-updated-sdk.html?m=1
also this depends on hardware which i'm not sure if one used in our is really supported...(still searchin' or that )
Does anyone know which FM Radio chip the Note has ?
My guess is a Silicon Labs dedicated FM chip, as is in the Galaxy S and S2 models. Perhaps it's accessible via /dev/fmradio.
If you call 5" a tablet, I think this Note may be the first major manufacturer tablet with officially supported FM radio. There are some esoteric Chinese tabs that support FM, and the original Dell Streak 5" has FM, but was never officially supported.
Can someone try the FM TwoO app and report if it works ? : https://market.android.com/details?id=ca.gc.crc.fmtwoo
I am also very interested to know if my FM app runs on this device, rooted or not: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm
Thanks !
Someone has sent me debug logs (Thanks !) so I don't need any more. This device does have a Silicon Labs FM chip, and it appears that my app is working, although the emailer didn't say. He set Menu->Settings->Audio->Method to "Samsung2". It's possible "Samsung" would also work on a stock device.
Other than my curiousity about FM TwoO working, my question is answered. I'm tempted to close this thread, since I'm not here to try and promote my app, but I'll leave it open for now at least, should anyone want to discuss FM on this device, as appropriate for a Q & A forum. (?)
BTW, I get the impression that the Samsung FM app is better than other stock FM apps. It supports RDS, and I think AF, and on this device at least it seems to support recording, which I'm not sure any other FM app does.
hello
as i was already searching for any alternative FM Radio app that does not stream from the internet as there are millions and millions of streaming apps out there it was impossible for me to find them in the android market.
I liked the alternative radio app for my old Windows Mobile Device.
Now i own a Galaxy Note and tried the two apps
FM TwoO and Spirit FM Free.
It finds Radio Stations etc. But i get no sound from both apps.
I think i tried every possible sound setting.
I have Root on my Device but everything else is stock.
Is it supposed to not work on the Stock rom or can i help you with something like a debug output so your app can work on this device?
Just tell me

Hi. There are almost no alternative FM apps for Android because Google refused and still refuses to provide an API. Just about every phone and chip manufacturer does FM differently and keeps their methods secret so it requires reverse engineering, which is very difficult and time consuming.
The CyanogenMod and MIUI ROMs have their own FM apps (for some devices only). FM TwoO works on some Galaxy S/S2 stock ROMs. My app Spirit tries to work on as many ROMs and chips etc. as feasible.
Now i own a Galaxy Note and tried the two apps
FM TwoO and Spirit FM Free.
It finds Radio Stations etc. But i get no sound from both apps.

Finding stations etc. is the first obstacle. I'm happy to hear this works OK.
Sound is always the second obstacle; so many phones do this differently, even otherwise somewhat similar phones as Galaxy S and S2.
If the Audio Methods Samsung and Samsung2 don't work, we need a new Samsung3 method I guess. I think the S2 has the same issue. If I examine the stock FM app, and perhaps some logs, I should be able to determine what needs to be done.
Can you do this ? :
- Start the stock FM app, run for a few seconds, then stop it.
- Start my app, then send me logs with Menu->Help->EM Logs. In the email text please put "Galaxy Note" before pressing Send.
BTW, the stock S2/Note FM app seems pretty good, so I don't think you are missing too much from alternative apps at this time.
Also, I think my app may "work", more or less, if you start it while the stock app is running. I think the apps can co-exist simultaneously, but there are probably a few issues.
hello and thanks for your response.
You are right. The stock radio app is a lot better then the stock radio app on my windows mobile phone was. But still i dont like for example the really short textfield where the RDS text is written when the phone is in portait mode because most of the text is missing. It is better in landscape mode.
And of course alternatives are always good.
Your app works good when i keep the original radio app running in the background. (but i think the reception quality seems to be a bit worse with your app even on the same frequence. But i should test this more)
But it crashes as soon as i press the headphone/speaker button. Only a restart helps then to get rid of the stock radio-app and to get the radio working again.
i have send you a log file. hope it helps and keep up your work.

For Samsung Galaxy S, S2, Note, S3 etc:
Very experimental support for stock and stock derived ROMs with the Samsung Proprietary API. Works OK on my Galaxy S with Darky ROM Extreme Edition 10.2.
- Enable Settings->Debug->SA Proprietary.
- Restart the app.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/a12sm7m13smbjub/Spirit_FM_Radio_v120110.apk
- The Audio->Method is best set to the default of CyanogenMod, but might also work on Samsung, or even None or GalaxyS ALSA as a last resort.
Next release I'll re-enable the recording code and I think it will work on the Note, but might also work on Galaxy S/S2 devices.
If it works or not, please send me a log, best with SU/root:
Select Menu->Help-EM Logs, wait a few seconds, enter "Note" in the email text and press send.
I wish I could afford one of these Notes...
New release posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21353990&postcount=2057
Jan 13: http://www.mediafire.com/file/52jo7vwy63576da/Spirit_FM_Radio_v120113.apk
Another shot at Samsung Proprietary support for Galaxy S2 / Note class devices, in addition to Galaxy S devices w/ FM.
As before, enable Settings-Debug->SA Proprietary and restart. SU/Root should not be needed.
Regards,
Mike.
At least one person reports this working on a a Galaxy S2. Please let me know, positive or negative.
I could REALLY use some help testing my FM app on a Note or S2 with a stock or stock derived ROM on which the stock FM app works.
I can't afford one, US/Canada versions have no FM anyway, and Samsung's Remote Test Lab seems just about useless.
The Remote Note I tried started the Feb 26 Market version of my app in the Proprietary FM API mode OK, so I think it's close to working, but that API requires an earphone/antenna plugged in, and the test device doesn't have that. And I can't get the debug logs or shell access either.
There's a Feb 28 version linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23059662&postcount=2357
For a few weeks now, my app works on my Galaxy S with stock derived Darky ROMs using the Samsung API, and un-rooted.
Thanks !

I just downloaded. Will report soon.
Sent from my revived Galaxy Note
The first results are positive. I just listened to fm radio for about 15 minutes. It works through headphones and the speaker. But as far as I can tell the.reception seems to be somewhat worse than with the stock fm radio.
Phone is a N-7000 with stock ICS , rooted, PhilZ kernel. Are there any specific tests I should conduct?
Sent from my revived Galaxy Note
Mikereidis's post has almost one year, looking at the Spirit FM thread OT, Galaxy Note is supported since (at least) november afaik.

9100g is off topic here.
If it's the Unlocked version and you're a customer, then email me or post on the Q&A thread in my sig for info.
If it's the Unlocked version and you're NOT a customer, then please go away, I don't help pirates.
This thread is ancient. I've had a Note for at least 7-8 months now and it's fully supported, and will be supported by the coming Spirit2.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and I am running CM 9.1 by Wayland_Ace.
Being an Indian user, proper support for Devanagari scripts is a must. Since this made by using Android 4.0 CM stock libraries, even though fonts are displayed properly, they are not rendered properly.
Even though stock browser and webview support them correctly, Whatsapp or any other does not support them properly. I read on the net saying things like replace fonts and missing libharfbuzz.so(the open source libs Samsung uses to display fonts and render them correctly from Stock Samsung Android 2.3+).
So is there any possible way to get this fix?
Its bad luck that I am posting this question too late and I do not think great developers like Mardon would be doing or caring for my poor Ace!
