Hello. I have written an app that helps to improve the accuracy of the S-Pen. It works only on Note phones because Samsung has compiled some S-Pen device driver interfaces out of the tablet ROMs. It is not clear why they did this. I have asked Samsung but gotten no replies. I have confirmed that parts of the kernel code is commented out in the open source kernel code (and you can see that some of the interface files found on phones do not exist on the tablets). It seems that the tablets suffer from the same issues related to the S-Pen as do the phones and I have many people asking me to make my app work on their tablets. I cannot do so with the stock ROMs because of the missing interface files.
So I am wondering if there any non-stock ROMs in which the S-Pen is more fully supported. The missing files are located on my phone in /sys/class/sec/sec_epen/ and the two files I need are called epen_hand and epen_rotation. If anyone knows of any ROMs for the S-Pen equipped tablets that provide these interface files, I would appreciate knowing and may be able to direct some folks to using them.
Thanks
I see the two files in Slimbean ROM installed on my Note I, and the list of supported devices include few tablets - see here:
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/supported-devices, so I suppose those files could be there as well.
Edit: no S-pen tablet on the list...

That is interesting. Isn't the 5100 also known as the Galaxy Tab 2? I did not think it came with an SPen. Please let me know if I am incorrect here. If it does not, I am surprised to see these files on your device. Are you using a stock ROM? Thanks

It sure looks like you 5100 has the necessary files. Can you answer a couple other questions:
(a) Are you using a standard ROM? If so, what version? If not, what ROM and version?
(b) Does your 5100 have a dominant hand setting for the SPen?
(c) If your 5100 is rooted, would you be willing to try my Reset SPen (free) app and tell me if it runs on your tablet? After install, simply click the app's icon and you should see a success or failure message.
Thanks
Stock Rom: JZ054K.N5100XXBMD1 over here = Both files also present.

Thanks. I am downloading a dump from a 5100 right now and will look to see what I can find. But if those 2 files are present, there is good hope here. Do you see a dominant hand setting for the SPen? Cheers!

No, i don´t see such a setting.
Looking for a Couple Testers
As it appears that the Note 8 does have the necessary device driver interface files, I am looking for one or two rooted users to test my app who have the following issue with their S-Pens:
There seems to be a lack of accuracy in the point where the SPen's point actually is located and where its touch seems to be registered. This is most easily seen as a discrepancy between where the floating/hoovering pen icon (enabled on phones at least via an SPen setting) and where the actual tip of the SPen is located.
Reset Spen Pro attempts to resolve this problem. As a by-product, it may also be able to give you the following:
* A dominant hand setting (left/right) such as is found on Note phones but which seems to be missing on Note 8 tablets.
* Better support for the SPen's response to orientation changes which can improve SPen accuracy as orientation changes.
If you are interested, please PM me and we can discuss how best to do this. Thanks
Hi, I have a rooted Note 8 runing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287367
I installed your app and it asked me what my dominant hand was. So it seems to be working. Is there anything you want me to try? how do i know if its working properly?

Hello and thanks for your effort and your reply. What this means is that my app finds the device driver input files it needs on your device/ROM but that it does NOT find any dominant hand setting (as exists on Note phones with standard ROMs). The app tries to support ROMs which lack this setting by creating and using a setting of its own.
Basically, the app exists to try and remedy a commonly described situation whereby the accuracy of the touches of the SPen's tip degrades over time. This is particularly evident when the floating/hoovering SPen pointer is enabled. This shows where the SPen device "thinks" the SPen tip is located. Over time, many phone users notice that the location of the pointer and the location of the actual SPen tip diverge. When this happens, touches of the SPen tip often do not get registered where the user thinks they should (under the SPen's physical tip). If you do not see this situation, the app may "work" but you will see no "benefit". Some phone users have reported this. But many have shown the app to create a large improvement in the accuracy of their SPens. This remedy is performed via the epen_hand file. It seems that the Note 8 stock ROM has this file but lacks the dominant hand setting. This makes little sense to me. And so far, Samsung has not responded to my queries about the situation.
Also, some non-stock phone ROMs fail to report changes of device orientation to the SPen which uses this information to recalibrate the SPen for the new orientation. This is done via the epen_rotation file. I have not encountered this issue in stock phone ROMs but I have no idea about the Note 8. So my app makes sure that orientation changes are reported to the SPen. Again, this affects the "accuracy" of the SPen's tip - on phones particularly in non-portrait orientations. It is important to note that this function only works if the app is scheduled to run in the background.
I hope this clarifies what the app is doing.
It seems there is very little information on this device so far, and it's spread across several threads. Here's what I found so far:

Jus Some Developments Info
Hey, source codes is available... Just for a heads up for interested devs!
I had browse the web and found that the source codes for i8730 for various models of i8730. These are all available on Samsung open code release center (OSRC) at opensourcesamsung(dot)com. They are as follows:
Classification Model Version Source Code

Me am not developer but a user and owner of this model! As a user, there are just much restrictions from stock OS such as carriers limitations, limited features, and all official roms available are according to respective countries carrier and lack of lots of great tweaks and apps. Although root is available, but its limited as few tweaks that I can play with like V6 Supercharger, link2sd etc. That's why I'm always looking forward to customs! They are great! I know that why me nv grab hold of one that can be customized is due to of course simple, cost restriction. This is jus a great, budgeted, with potential (underclocked), fast, 4G device available in market.
To keep things short pls devs just look alittle in this device, and if customized eg, roms, kernels , I believe that other models with the same chipset and GPU can benefit as well! Models like the new Mega 6.3 and also unreleased S4 Mini! They are all using the same Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400!!!
Yeah! Go mid-range devices!!! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks tanrsquare, will add that info to the inicial post.
What about CWM?
I suppose you know that without a working (backup, restore) custom recovery, flashing any rom may permanently brick our phone, so, the next step after root shod be CWM Recovery.
Any news about a working one? Saw that the i-437 has one already...
Info about CWM for i8730
Hey, doarmga... I'm quite agree with u. A CWM is quite an essential for customizing ROMs, without it, ODIN will be needed if there are going to be problems, and that's bad as it increases the binary counter... omg.
Me too, am one of the guys looking ard for i8730 recovery which is stable and usable, but I can predict tht none exists yet currently. I have search the web as well as XDA and I came to this site: builder(dot)clockworkmod(dot)com/ ...
This allows people to build recovery but then there are details tht are required and catch me no balls haha... Example lik recovery.fstab, graphics.c which I think this should somehow that are needed for the tool to work properly before the CWM recovery can be generated. I think this is similar to the thread -> showthread.php?t=2285898tht someone has tried.

You can obtain a recovery.fstab when you create your own CWM online then snooping around inside the downloaded zip file. Also there is the existence of a vold.fstab but I don't think that would be of any help.
About the binary counter, why don't you use TriangleAway? I can confirm it works.
P.S. LOL I never knew someone would actually read my recovery thread, let alone quote it. Heh. Thanks, people.

hello, in a couple of weeks i will get this phone, i have one question, how is the display? i`m asking because of the low resolution on a big screen.
Ok, now some serious talk... we can get a temporary CWM recovery, sadly some samsung phones have the recovery partition on the kernel, so you need to build a new kernel with CWM, sadly i am not a kernel developer, and i don`t have to much knowledge. For overclock we need a custom kernel... the only thing i know is to build roms, but first we need a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. I think i can make a temporary CWM but more tests i will make when my phone will get to me

For the screen, overall looks Ookaayy is what I can say. It may not be as sharp as those high def display n colours looks better with higher brightness I felt. And yup for videos using stock player, mostly able to stretch fully, covering the whole screen except for some with weird resolution. Youtube videos mostly can cover the whole screen except for some old music videos with low resolutions, a little borders at the sides may be notice, but the top n bottoms doesn't have any. For high res like 1080p is able to cover the screen. Words n Clock n widgets seems to appear a little bigger n stretched. Gaming still fine n temple run 2 is really quite sharp that I love its graphics... :cyclops: But, then when open up a SWF game or app using an SWF player, some are unable to output full display, show only mostly the center and sides surrounding it being cut off... That's my experience about its screen but yup looks okay though. :silly:

Yay! Now we have another reason to not sell the phone.
P.S. )If this info helps in any way, haha) The Express I8730, like some Samsung phones, follows an mmc format. The recovery partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (so if I want to flash a custom recovery.img, all I have to do is pull up a terminal and type
Code:
su
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
* In this example, I located my img on the external SD. If yours is on the internal then use /sdcard instead.
Resolution is 480x800.

you can still install adobe flash player apk, just search here on xda
on my s advance Kernel and recovery (stock or custom) are in the same partition. So they must come in package, some other phones can install it separatly, because it is not connected to kernel partition. Until i get my hands on the phone i can`t be sure, but a temporary recovery is posible on stock kernel, what temp recovery means? after you reboot you lose the CWM, but for example if u make a back-up after you reflash CWM you can restore your backup.
Don`t get your hopes too high about CM, it requires allot of knowledge, in my s advance is a team of 8 developer... and they dont have yet a stable release. I can look into it but it will take time. What i can develop more easy? a ROM based on stock witch will have 0 bugs , but first CWM
Regarding CWM could someone provide me recovery.fstab? using root browser it can be found in the etc folder.
Flash on JB; about the screen.
I've searched google about flash on android 4.1 and there are quite a handful of tutorials about it. Can't post links yet but if you google it, it will show up. Basically you have to download a flash apk located somewhere on xda and install it. Also, you need a browser with flash support such as Boat browser, Dolphin or Firefox. (Chrome and the standard android 4.1 browser don't allow flash at all.)
About the screen i can honestly say that even though it has the exact same resolution as my "old" Galaxy S Plus, it looks crisper on the 4.5 display on the Express. Don't know how they managed to do this, maybe something to do with the updated pentile matrix found in SuperAMOLED Plus (3 subpixels per pixel vs. 2 subpixels and a shared one between two adjacent pixels in the "old" SAMOLED).

Thanks a lot, I managed to find the APK. It does look crisper, but the only reason i have for Flash is Flash games. And Opera Classic has built-in Flash, so I don't need to worry about my browser.

Errmmm... I had jus send my phone for repair becos of some gyro issue... I wonder anybody encounter this is tht about the 'Motion' feature in the Settings. When I activates it, the sensor jus keep moving to the right that I dun even have to move the device haha... This cause the pic in Gallery to move constantly and icon in main menu to jus keep moving. Strange thing is that it happens occasionally like let's say 1 wk, 7 days, about less than 3 days hav this prob, then the rest of the days works normally, in other words functionable n this keeps repeating. It makes me cracking my mind if it's a hardware or software issue n tis is jus weird... I tried lots of times on calibration n restarting device but still no luck. Or maybe jus for a short while haha... I heard of no sound after flashing another stock rom, but mine's jus the original stock. Ok... Sry about the nagging but mayb jus to share abit. :crying:
And for recovery.fstab file, I'll retrieve n upload it after collection of the phone... maybe in a few day's time sry abt that!

if someone can test temporary CWM http://d-h.st/OBd
just put update.zip to sdcard, reboot to stock recovery, flash update from external storage, then reboot and hold down buttons for recovery.
tomorrow morning i will finish negotiating with my carrier, if all ends well, next week i will have the phone the only down side is after next week i will go on holiday with my family for 10 days
p.s how does this phone performs on high end games like modern combat 4, nfs most wanted, gta vice city, the dark knight rises?
from what i read on the internet the Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 Dual-core 1.2 GHz Krait and Adreno 305 is very good, it can beat some quad core CPUs i saw a benchmark and the scores are allmost like the S3 (because of screen resolution, but still, pretty slick )
Are there any current WIP roms for this specific device. I remember searching the entire forum for this phone a couple months back and there was little to no information, though the motochopper guide existed besides for the obvious root privileges there were no custom roms for the phone.

SO it seems there is no custom recovery for the device... I just got it a few days ago thinking WOW what a good phone and it also looks like the S3.. All of my phones have either been jailbroken or rooted. Turns out the phone has no recovery section. It's in the Kernel, so therefor you will need to build a whole new kernel.. I would love to have this device rooted with a recovery to install roms and such. I will also love to donate for the project if anyone does it.
ok, good news, i signed the contract with my carrier so the phone will get to me next week
Hello,
I am having problems with the phone app, I had the same problem on AOKP Rom which is why I moved over to AICP which is awesome btw When I call someone my handset screen switches off and becomes unresponsive meaning I can't unlock the screen to do things like use the dial pad or switch on speaker. When I have hands free plugged in I can unlock the phone but the phone app is unresponsive meaning I can see all the buttons and the contacts picture but can't use the dial pad, mute the call or switch on speaker. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 jflte on aicp_jflte_kitkat-5.0-NIGHTLY-20140901 but the problem has been ongoing.
I would have posted this to the ROMs dev thread here on XDA but I need more than 10 posts to discuss in a dev thread.
Does anyone know who the maintainer is of the AICP nightly on jflte?
I think I'll just keep updating to the nightly until I find a release where whatever is broken I don't need lol
I really like the AOKP based roms ... can anyone recommend other similar roms that mostly stable on the jflte device?
You know what I love about XDA forums? The community engagement.
and the colour scheme ... top two. Community engagement and the colour scheme
Well ... another day and another great chat with my XDA mates. How y'all doin?
Was on the 09/05 AICP nightly and it seemed to affect my 3G/4G/ Wifi connection .. everything was running very slow on the network side. Updated to the 09/07 nightly and all was ok re networking. Still can't use the phone app tho.
I wonder when the phone app is going to be addressed. I need to get in touch with the maintainer
Don't spam this mutch... maybe your proximity sensor is not calibrated? link.
I use terminal emulator to calibrate it.
Hello guys
Need some help, how can I calibrate my gyro sensor as I did the figure of 8 as it got 'stuck' but still seems wrong in certain game apps.
Think I should return under warranty?
You didn't elaborate on what you meant by figure of eight? Or provide any detail about your configuration, not even which variant or firmware version you have. Or which games you allude to.
Nevertheless, there are lots of existing threads on this subject. Not to mention sensor test apps and the built in hardware test menu. Lots of details in existing threads if you take a look. If you have some unique problem, then you need to elaborate and give us a better description so that we can help you better.

Hello, Recently I have this issue with the AOSP,GPE and TW ROMS. I test the game Oddworld Stranger Wrath ( have function with Gyro), and it go around (ghost) without I touch or hand my device, this problem occur on all roms, But I just can fix it on TW Roms with the code *#0... "device test" > Sensor and Gyro test, it calibrate and gyro works normal on Oddworld. Now on AOSP Roms and GPE, don' t have this function, and I try many apps from GP to try to fix it, but no results.... The only difference between Touchwiz rom and aosp is "device test" :/, any dev or person can help me please ? I would appreciate and give my thanks.
anyone here ?
Not as many as there were last year. The S4 is rapidly approaching three years old now, and many people have upgraded. In any event, you didn't search the forum, as this is a common question, though it actually has an uncommon answer.
Install Bubble Level from the Play Store and calibrate the gyroscope using it.

well, I used it, but don't solve the problem with gyroscope, you can try by your self and test the game oddworld on CM12.1 and see....
Yeah, well I'm not about to replace my copy of AOSP 7.1.1 with CyanogenMod to do this. I do however see more than one app titled "Bubble Level". Did you install this one?

Yes Sir, Bubble,GPS & Toolbox and others.... but don't give any results. I was think if have the possibility to adapt "device test" from touchwiz for AOSP ROMS, maybe it can fix this problem
To the best of my knowledge, that isn't possible due to the test suite requiring the Touchwiz framework. Honestly, if it's that much of a concern, I'd be installing a stock-based ROM and calling it a day.

Understand, but have any way to fix it ? Provide any APP for aosp to fix ?You can test on your actual rom the gyroscope, I think it will drift way too on oddworld

Yes. Install a stock ROM.

Well, So I never will fix the gyroscope drift way on AOSP and CM Roms ? :/
Sure. Install an app that allows you to calibrate the gyroscope. If that doesn't work and a stock ROM does, install the stock ROM.
In case you're having difficulty reading between the lines here, I don't have an issue with my gyroscope and have had AOSP on my S4 for a year and a half now. GPS Status & Toolbox was sufficient to get the job done, and the fact it didn't work for you is a sign of a different problem. A problem with your gyroscope.

When Lollipop become to old OS, I will update my device and try aosp Rom again. Another question Sir, on game vainglory with High settings graphics on (you can set it on config on the game) you can run it without any lags ?
I try to run this game on Aosp 6.0.1, but I get many slow downs.... I think is the driver update on adreno 320 cause this problem. When I back for aosp 5.1.1 or TW 5.0.1, runs without problem on high settings.
You're asking the wrong person. I only have four games on my device, and two of them are chess and yacht. The S4 hasn't been my daily driver since the beginning of 2016.
I will say this however: any AOSP ROM is better than LineageOS or Touchwiz, because AOSP consumes far fewer resources than both.

Ok sir, thank you for share your experience here, I appreciate it . I will go to AOSP when the source code become more stable and bugs go way haha
I'm not aware of these bugs you speak of, but my usage pattern is not the same as yours.

I flash again AOSP 5.1.1 from JDC Team, on Aida 64 the gyroscope appear (uncalibrated sensor), I try bubble level and Gps tool box, none results.... The drift way is very slow, but I noticed for calibrate it, some experience dev, need build init.d script to fix it or give me patch to apply on it. AOSP 5.1.1 is better than Touchwiz, the games in general fly here.... And battery life is very good.
I seriously doubt an experienced dev is going to create an init.d script just for you, especially when you demand they make a patch for a problem that you seem to be the only one having.
For the record, I just downloaded GPS Status & Toolbox from the Play Store specifically so I could calibrate the sensors. No problems with calibration, and the calibration persists, as my tricorder app now shows the correct orientation for the compass when it didn't before. I don't know what else to tell you. It's working here without a problem, so if it's not working for you there's another issue.
