[Widget]blue neon clock done, batt. meter help needed - public dev

PUBLIC DEV
============
dont call me a windows fanboy, but I really wanted this windows widget on my phone. I have the same clock on my wall. Something to work with any clock app... I like alarmclock Xtreme.
EDIT: original .pngs attached
EDIT 2 : V1 of neon clock posted (thanks to Kaik541)
EDIT 3 : V2 attached "alarmclock xtreme with modded clock" and "deskclockgoogle" versions (below) post 11 for details
EDIT 4 : V3 (final??) attached. stand alone 1x1 clock. MicroNeonClockWidget (below) post 12 for details.
**TO DO: *****HELP NEEDED
- find artist/programmer to change neon "ring" into battery meter...
- add second hand.
View attachment 533210

EDIT: added original .png images. shouldnt be hard from here..

Unfortunately, the source images are pretty tiny (130 px by 130 px) and upscaling them creates an obnoxiously blurry image so I have included here a widget that will work (though looks a bit tiny). Push the apk to /system/app (it may work in /data/app, didn't test though) and add the widget like any other
note: the above image was created with a DPI setting of 200 instead of the standard DPI of 240, may look a bit different on your screen. also, the widget in this apk does not use a seconds hand, that's why there isn't one shown.

thanks man actually that will work perfect see screenshot of where i put it...
but i think you forgot to attach the file, thank you again

then this may not actually be all that helpful to you. I plugged it into the deskclockgoogle.apk which makes it take a 2x2 square even if the actual image isn't that big and I'm unsure of how to change it

either way, thank you.

no problem, just hit me that you could, of course, be using a launcher that supports resizing widgets dynamically (launcherpro plus/adw) and it wouldn't matter, so good luck with it, hope it fits your needs.

actually using launcherpro plus i was able to re-size the widget and it didnt scale the image, so i have 1x1 perfect.
EDIT: gotta love timing...
is there any way to Untie it to alarm? so i can use it with alarmclockextreme?

hmm, to be honest I have no experience with modifying market apps. I know that standard taking apart and putting back together doesn't work because it breaks the key signing. there are probably some guides on how to resign the application properly, but for now it is beyond my grasp, sorry =/

we're all learning, thats what we're here for.
thanks again

here is a version of the free alarm clock xtreme available on the market with the above neon clock as the analog clock. remove any version installed from the market before attempting to install this and then install like any normal apk.

ok, I think I finally have something that could suit anyone's needs. Here is a widget that is permanently 1x1 (which can be scaled up with a launcher that resizes, but it looks best at this size given the resolution of the PNG's anyway, so it'd be kind of pointless). This is a modded version of this app:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/micro-clock-widget-1x1/factory.widgets.Micro available for free on the market. I have changed the name so they can be installed side by side in case you wanted multiple clocks. Unfortunately, clicking it doesn't open anything, so it's just a standalone 1x1 widget analog clock. Install like any other standard apk.
edit: wow I spent too much time on this, but now I know how to edit market apps yay learning experiences.

a few hours in a single night is fast for learning, it would have taken me at least 2 or 3 days to get there. i dont even have the sdk installed.
your work is really appreciated.

just thought of a great final feature, but it is out of the scope for me and Kaik541,
need to find an artist/programmer to convert the neon ring into a battery meter.

bump... due to |OP| update...

Wow...very nice Kaik. Great work.
sent using a phone.

very nice Kaik. a keeper.

franco.kernel ksatta changes pre-release

I will release my changes to the franco.kernel in this thread before franco includes them in his kernel for the upcoming releases. So this is a "pre-release" thread for franco.kernel, for the changes I'm making.
v2 (included in [16 SEP] franco.Kernel)
- Speakerphone echo fixed. Works with normal calls, not with Skype (or other voip apps probably). Skype still works like before, echo with speakerphone mode.
The fix can be disabled with
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_soc_msm7kv2/parameters/speakerphone_echo_fix
You can post in this thread how it works. It always uses speaker_mono_tx instead of speaker dual mic broadside dev.
- Removed some logging from msm7x30.c (left there by Huawei. They must have a logging fetish or something )
mod_v1 (Included in [11 SEP] franco.Kernel)
- "Use phone's mic with headset"-feature is now user configurable.
By default uses phone's mic with headset/headphones/line-out. So if you want that, no configuration is needed.
To use headset's mic create a file called "10headsetswitch" in "/system/etc/init.d/" and paste the following to it:
"echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_soc_msm7kv2/parameters/headset_mic_switch"
Future plans
- Fix speakerphone echo in Skype. Investigate the volume problems (max. volume is too high, etc..).
Flashing instructions
- Boot to recovery
- install from zip
- choose francokernel_X_ksatta_vX.zip.
Notes for devs
The latest franco.kernel has logcat disabled by default, to enable it put this in .config:
Code:
CONFIG_ANDROID_LOGGER=y
To enable kernel debug messages (can be seen with dmesg):
Code:
git checkout 0c1adc36ed u8800-kernel/kernel/printk.c
NOTE: disable logging again before releasing anything, probably slows down the phone quite a bit when logging is on.
Credits
ksatta - use phone's mic with headset
stockwell - user config for headset mic setting

And everyone else if I forgot to mention someone.
Files
franco.kernel-sep11+ksatta_v2.zip - Zip file to flash phone.
franco.kernel-sep11+ksatta_v2-src.zip - V2 source for devs. msm7x30.c file is from u8800-kernel/sound/soc/msm. Also includes compiling instructions.

To make it set to using the phone mic at boot, save the following script into /system/etc/init.d/. Call it whatever you like just with a two digit number at the start (ie. 10headsetswitch)
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_soc_msm7kv2/parameters/headset_mic_switch
As mentioned this is already configurable in Miui using x5 settings so you don't need to worry about making the script yourself but the voice quality might not be very good (will be fixed for the next version) unless you use the kernel attached from ksatta.

Please could explain how to install this kernel? Because I read the file that you have attache and in the end I finish like in the begginign without knowing how to do it.
Is only need to do by the recovery with the zip file ans what about the secund zip file the smaller one?
Sorry but Ian sure that I am not the only o w that is asking this.

Sigh man, I'm growing tired of your questions everywhere in every thread you can find. This is just my kernel compiled with a different file to make this "Use phone's mic with headset"-feature is now user configurable." avaliable.
No it won't take coffees for you, no it won't explode your device, no it won't turn it into an airplane and fly in circles above your head, and no it won't make you rich beyond imagining.
Sorry for the smallish OT ksatta, it ****s me reading stupid questions everywhere.
Very nice job like I told you before

First of all Ian not from your family so stupidity is not in my genes. Secund if you are tired go to sleep.
I didn't ask to you, so you don't need to react like this. Don't be a small kid.
When I don't know I ask.
So Franco don't give me your ****y opinions when I don't ask for then.

You can already do this in Miui, have been able to for a while. Flashing this version should make the voice quality better though.

Yeah, like franco said, the v1 is just user-configurability for the headset mic thing.
For anyone else wondering, I will report any changes I make in the first post. So the zips here won't have any other changes compared to franco.kernel, except the ones I report in the first post.

Mate, you seriously need to get a grip and settle down. Maybe lay off the espresso a bit. I know you are doing good things with your kernel and everyone appreciates that and is grateful. However, almost every post you make is aggressive and condescending. Ok so you have it all figured out, that's great. But the majority of us are just struggling and muddling along enjoying Android and trying to learn and contribute as we go. When you attack and belittle most posters it just make you look like a wanker.
May I suggest: if you don't wish to assist then simply don't respond. Someone else will or maybe no one will in which case the post will recede into the past and the poster will look elsewhere.

Maybe you, or anybody here can write me pm with very short info how to compile kernel [what parrameters should pass to it] and make zip package to be installable to phone? Once i tried to compile but image was 2x times bigger than original realese so i was afraid to test it

Maybe you were looking at the uncompressed Image file? zImage is the correct file. But anyway the -src.zip contains compiling instructions, I created them today with a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. If you test my instructions and have any problems, inform me and I'll update the instructions.
Before you edited you asked about what v1 does, there's a whole lot of text in the first post, but yes, it only makes the headset mic switch user-configurable Future releases might have more changes

Actually my version uses phone's mic by default. I made it default because franco.kernel has been using phone's mic by default. So, to avoid confusion:
If you want to use headset's mic use "echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_soc_msm7kv2/parameters/headset_mic_switch" in the script.
If you want to use phone's mic, don't do anything
edit: This applies to the v1 kernel in this thread, miui uses headset's mic by default. Reason above.

Man, this kernel fixed the only issue I had with Oxygen, and call quality is even great! Now I won't change ROMS ever in the next months (unless Huawei releases official Gingerbread). I'm not gay but this is true, I LOVE YOU!!!!

lol sorry I edited it now.

My theory about the speakerphone echo is that the audiolibs in 2.3 roms use the wrong routing. They're probably now using the same microphone dev. id. as normal mode, when they should be using the "speakerphone mic" dev.id.
I wasn't able to confirm this yet, didn't get my debug messages out of the kernel yet Normal logcat works, but the kernel debug messages don't show up in it. Also I couldn't find a syslog file.
But I'll continue another day.

Ksatta i see you good with freaking linux stuff and sound So can you make that recording audio and video - audio quality to be good not some arm ****?
I found that codec is here arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp5v2/audio_amrnb.c How to make that system uses different codec or this but with better sample rate ant bit rate, i can change this in file but i can't find the specification of this codec so maybe it's not supporting 44.1Khz sample rate or even 16Khz.

Thanks ksatta for this ! Was exactly what needed. Btw instead of setting that init script couldn't just change the value from 1 to 0 or it is restored after every reboot?

Aurora Performance Tips/Tricks/Tweaks

In this thread we should share our own little tweaks to this amazing ROM.
I'll add to this first post any stuff that is proven to increase speed or makes using the ROM easier or more enjoyable
Note, this isn't intended to include mods and addons, as there is already a great thread for that
IMPORTANT:
Always backup stuff! And reboot after teaking!
Please note that, the ones I've found more useful, I add a USEFUL tag in front of them
____________________________________
BUILD.PROP tweaks
With root explorer or any other method of your liking, go to /system/ and edit the file build.prop.
- To increase max fps limit possible, add:
Code:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
I'm not sure this one is really useful, I think android already sets this already to around 1.5x screen refresh rate. The gains could be negligible.
- Disable error checking, add:
Code:
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
- USEFUL Stop debugging icon from appearing in status bar (doesn't disable adb), add:
Code:
persist.adb.notify=0
- USEFUL Force home launcher into memory, add:
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
_______________________________________________
OTHER TWEAKS AND TRICKS
- VERY, Extremely, Mega-USEFUL - Go to:
Code:
/system/lib/elg
Open egl.cfg and delete the 1st line (0 0 android), reboot the phone.
Everything should be much smoother, I notice this especially opening folders with a lot of icons in Apex Launcher. I think this disables the default android software rendering method and uses only GPU. Don't ask me if this is different than setting composition mode to gpu in build.prop, I don't know, I just know everything is much faster
USEFUL - Only works with Aurora 2.07+ and synaptics screen - Tweak your screen duplicate filter, like in x5settings for .32 kernels.
Go to:
sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity
Open the file "sensitivity" and tweak the value. Default is 4. Higher values reduce screen flickering/jitter but screen can become less sensitive, lower values, the contrary. Personally I use 8, works very good for my fingers, adjust you value accordingly. Note, this takes effect immediately, but doesn't stick after a reboot. To make it stick after a reboot, go to "/system/etc/", open one of the scripts, I recommend "ini.qcom.post_boot.sh", and add this at the end:
Code:
echo 8 > sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity
where 8 is the value you want. Save, reboot and check is the value is there, in the "sensitivity" file.
- USEFUL - Great tips on how to save battery without turning everything off (bonus, doesn't use BS calibration myth):

Works AMAZINGLY thank you
Edit1: Also may i ask what CPU settings do you use? any overclocks/governor?
Edit2: I got that funny text glitch just before, i decided to wipe cache and dalvik and i haven't had it again yet. Ill get a screen shot if it happens again but im pretty sure you know what i mean, all the text for apps look like squiggly lines/really odd ive seen this happen normally in previous versions of aurora but oh well ill come back with more info if anything else happens thanks again!

thank you mate. Two quick questions. If i disable kernel debugging will this affect logcat? And what cpu composition does?

Regarding the logcat, yes, probably disables that functionality, I've read in other sites, it just disables checking for errors, thus performance improvements. When I have time, I'll check if logcat is still there... the composition thing I think it tells the OS to always use GPU no matter what, I see a great improvement with that one, don't know if anything is affected, but so far, everything is great

Yes, I think so, maybe it was just placebo... also, it doesn't stick after a reboot, the ROM would need init.d startup script support and a script to change the value everytime... try change it to 40 or something, and report, it it still trembles, I'll remove from the first post...

- Something to try, it seems not to work... - Improve synaptics screen sensitivity!
Do you miss x5Settings setting about touchscreen filter? I've been studying x5settings source code and found out what file needs to be changed to achieve the same result in Aurora. Go to:
- sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/
Edit the file "sensitivity" and set a value appropriate for you. I've set it to 8 and touchscreen seems better now. Maximum value I think is 64, and that works great too. I think this isn't placebo Pinch to zoom in pics doesn't "tremble" when holding the fingers on the screen as it did before, here.
EDIT: it doesn't stick after a reboot! And values change by itself, don't know why, maybe it doesn't even work... Try it for your self

hey fjsferreira if you want stick after a reboot, you must to paste this command "echo 8 > /sys/module/synaptics_i2c_rmi_1564/parameters/sensitivity" (without the quotes) into 1 of the files in /etc/init.d
number 8 is choise by us... but make 8 for this example

[Q] LED device control path

Hey guys, I want to use Tasker to make some LED fades and stuff, but unfortunately the default "LED" controller won't accept variables from a FOR loop.
SO, I decided to "run a script" (command), which was going to be something like "echo 225 > /etc/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_r"
As it turns out, I was reading a tutorial for the Galaxy 4 or something and, as my luck would have it, no such similar directory exists on my Nexus 4.
Can anyone point me to the file I'm looking for to set the brightness of the RGB LED? (or of course another way to script it in Tasker )
[Nexus 4, 4.2.2 stock -> rooted]
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, sorry. I figured I couldn't go too wrong posting in a "general" forum
And yes, apparently I'm not new. I went to register the other day to post this question, and it said my username was taken, so I tried it with my (ex) typical password and voila!

Well after an entire night of setting up a development VM with the Android SDK etc and building an app to set the LED color (which would respond to Tasker scripts), I loaded the code onto my device.
However since I didn't have a launcher icon (it was supposed to be more of a GUIless command line interface kinda thing), I couldn't find it on my phone's file system to run it. Derp.
As I was searching for it I came across /sys/class/leds/(blue|green|red)/brightness. Echoing a 0-255 to this file adjusts my LEDs. A lot of work to find those files!
Cheers all

.when you get out of sleep the selected apps are no longer in split screen

It works tomtom go?

Again no detailed change log. Incredible.

I'd keep away until a few people have tried this.....

Beta release? Don't think I'd risk this on the head unit and end up without a working unit until they actually fix it.... "Fix some bugs" seems to be the extent of most of their change logs... hehe

someone guinea pig it

Looking forward to someone having the balls to flash this.
As a side note...why is everyone so excited about Android 6 on this unit...I don't see any features that would even make me update.

Install went very quick, it wipes all applications and data.
I have not yet been able to access via wifi / ADB, so no rooting or mods as of now
> adb connect 10.0.0.26
unable to connect to 10.0.0.26:5555: Connection refused

That would be simply terrible if it can't be bypassed.

Since it wiped everything, did you remember to enable usb debugging? (which really means adbd)

USB debugging was enabled.
It looks like they missed persist.adb.tcp.port=5555 in the properties. It can be enabled by the following:
1) download a terminal program ( Terminal Emulator for Android )
2) enter the following command: setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555
3) reboot
I just, installed supersu and seems to be working

doitright4 said:
That's a great point, and it is really... sad? stupid? FREAKING RETARDED!!!! that they would bother wasting time to build 6.0 so long after 7.0 (and 7.1 even!!!) are already available.
7.x of course, adds in split screen mode, which would be a GREAT benefit to car radios.
There is one thing, however, that could make the 6.0 build good, especially an early or beta build... they've had less time to destroy it than they've had to destroy 5.x. So its probably a faster, more stable, and more respectful build than what we've previously seen.

Yeah split screen might be useful...otherwise it just runs navigation/music/videos in cars mostly...which any version of Android can do.

Great to hear that.
Are there any noticeable changes so far?

So how's the update?
Is it faster/slower than android 5?
Did you find some bugs?

@gustden mind checking if the apps are still the same as in 5.1.1? Especially around the server app if the kill switch is still present

All the apps are still the same. Not seeing much difference, other than in the settings. So far, it seems fast and stable.
Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk looks the same ( and still kills everything on standby). Hope to have time to remove the app killer and add the other mods over the weekend.

Thanks! I'd love to see an updated Server with the standby-kill removed, the source button -> google search hack and the mute-alarms feature removed so we can have the voice output for Google searches - if possible please?

Is the notifications bar still broken ? (white text and buttions on white bar)

And the most important question, any changes regarding the Bluetooth module? Does it still cover the screen during calls without the ability to minimize?

Based on what @gustden said, it looks like all the apps are the same so I would assume that issue is still present.
