I know there are better, but there are worse like og epic cable. Thats why I said stock so atleast he has a shot.

so you think the stock with the touch is better than the one from the OG Epic? Serious question, I honestly have not tried, you think its better quality than the old one? I just use this old BBerry cable thats as thick as a Cat6... never failed...

I've always just used the Samsung usb cable. Only thing is when I use autoroot I have to jiggle the end around for it to catch it, but then it takes off.. :sly:

Blackberry cable is awsome, thats the one I use now. Also the stock touch cable has never failed me with odin either. All I know is when I had the og epic, that cable caused me loads of issues.

So I heimdalled boot.img from the AOKP 31 build. Now I have FD02 kernel. Seems a little snappier.
Anyone know whether I can access the video camera fixes? I don't have any idea what files I need or if it's even possible. Tried pushing /system/lib/hw/* as well as /system/app/Camera.apk (wiped caches and rebooted) but it still fails.

Edit: Found /system/lib/libcamera_client.so and libcameraservice.so. Pushed, chmodded, wiped caches, rebooted. Still no go.

Looks like this needs to be (and has been maybe?) fixed in source. CNA / android_device_samsung_galaxys2

Wish I knew how to program. Le sigh.

I like where your heads at!
wish I could help..
neeeeeeed sleeeeeep....

I know I said next time u c Me here I would link u guys.. but wanted to chime in on the camera fix. Its all the stage fright libs. Omx libs omx folder, camera .so from hw folder and modded camera from cm9 that will fix the video camera and playback issues

Wow, thanks Erick. Really appreciate that. I'm off to bed for more but will resume hacking first thing when I get to work in the morning

If you honestly want to learn programming, as I'm trying to as well...

Friend of mine said learn Python first because of its ease then from there move on to Java then pick your destiny. He pointed me to a great open source textbook for python which is linked at bottom of post... if you have any questions, pm me and I'll help any way I can

Sorry for the off-topic, just thought a few starters might find this helpful.

Yeah, right! So close having pushed everything except the *stagefright* and omx stuff. Doing that right now.

EDIT: /system/lib/libmediaservice.so was missing too so the ui wouldn't load. Slight pucker moment but the phone was responding to adb just fine so I pushed it and lo and behold the ui loaded without even having to reboot.
Video camera still failing, but I'm closer I think! Using all these files from the AOKP 31 zip.

Still failing. Pushed a bunch of stuff from the AOKP ROM but /system/bin/mediaserver (yes, I pushed that too) keeps dying. It's late, I'm gonna sleep on it.

This immediately precedes the stack trace:

Thanks man. I honestly would like to program but I'm not sure how cut out for it I am. Been a Unix admin for like 20 years and yeah, I can hack already written stuff, but writing--and worse, debugging--new stuff conflicts with my ADD real bad. But who knows, I've been meaning to look into python. More and more stuff is being written in it. Thanks for the recommendation.
