Trying to get into CM7/SGS development, there seems no way around git. But git doesn't like me.
ATM I manage to 'sync repo' and cherry-pick commits. But get lost often. As you said: git is not easy.
So, I'd like this to be a place to talk about (maybe) upcoming changes and also to get some help with development related tasks.
On the long run, this could be a starting point to attract (or grow!) more SGS programmers.
I461e90ac: looks very promising. Switched to UMTS only and lost only 5% in two hour. Will see what I lose overnight.
i'll try to get something going on the git side, although surely i need to improve as well. i now think cherry-picking/branches is easier than fixing conflicts. i'm managing myself through, you'll see, it's actually not that hard. it definately is easier for someone who knows how to code, but that's a given, i guess.
definately, i agree with you about the objective of this thread. i would add as well help improve users so that they can help themselves, maybe we'll turn into the devs of tomorrow (pretty utopic schedule that is, but still), maybe not, but we all learn something more out of it - knowledge has no place - while helping out the community, and making some more mistakes along the way.
I461e90ac looks promising indeed.
i'll give one more cycle to it.
edit: i was bored so... in
Ie259e6da, if we edit:
device/samsung/aries-common/AriesParts/res/values/arrays.xml to:
Code:
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<string-array name="backlight_timeout_entries">
<item>Off</item>
<item>Default (1.6 seconds)</item>
<item>2 seconds</item>
<item>5 seconds</item>
<item>10 seconds</item>
<item>15 seconds</item>
<item>30 seconds</item>
<item>Never</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="backlight_timeout_entries_values" translatable="false">
<item>0</item>
<item>1600</item>
<item>2000</item>
<item>5000</item>
<item>10000</item>
<item>15000</item>
<item>30000</item>
<item>-1</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
would it be enough to turn off the leds entirely from AriesParts, while still having led notif, of course? or do we need to go kernel level, (i noticed drivers/input/keyboard/cypress-touchkey.c, like pawitp did
here)?
i think only editing the xml doesn't do the trick like it should, does it? maybe if we changed this:
Code:
static void bl_set_timeout() {
if (bl_timeout > 0) {
mod_timer(&bl_timer, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(bl_timeout));
}
}
to
Code:
static void bl_set_timeout() {
if (bl_timeout ≥ 0) {
mod_timer(&bl_timer, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(bl_timeout));
}
}
no good? or would it still need something else? or is it completely way off and would make my phone melt
this doesn't look promising.. Void, seems to me that's the same as 'we don't need this'?
Code:
static void bl_off(struct work_struct *bl_off_work);
i think i will start doing some serious e-learning on coding.. once i get more "comfortable" at work and can relax a bit.
