No. There is no blue led (or at least, the kernel does not know of a blue led), only green and red. Furthermore, there seems to be no intensity control, so there are only three possible colours.

I noticed a few funny things recently, and I am not even sure if they are new or were from the start: There is a high load average: # uptime 10:24:17 up 11:59, load average: 13.81, 13.94, 13.80 The running processes are migration and ksoftirqd kernel threads for each inactive core. There...

This appears to be working, as in: The phone did not explode. When roaming was enabled, no roaming indication was displayed. When data roaming is disabled, data still works. All this while roaming on 42501 network with a 42507 SIM. Thank you very much. BTW, I did not use recovery to...

Israel 42507 42501 Israel 42508 42502 Please note that this is unidirectional. 42507 users may roam on 42501 network, but 42501 users can't roam on 42507. The same for the other pair. Does this mean you are going to make this kind of roaming work without needing to enable international roaming?

The apk is here: https://mega.nz/#!fdA30b4S!u9GHWfTZhD3GKj2xqIFn1eiXYv8CMsPqEG_6QZUh_w0 I hope someone can analyse it and find out what it does.

I also noticed it. I created a file "/data/app/com.therefore.miner-1.apk" as root with permissions 400 (read only), and it was not installed since then. But the real question is - what installed it. I am on S3SW 20150314-141844. Edit: I do not suspect it is a bitcoin miner, even with miner...

The jiayu.de kernel is also not GPL compliant.

A forum for Jiayu S3 will be appreciated.

I found one bug - after some time, the phone stopped ringing on incoming calls. It only vibrates. No settings seems to change this. Also, I forgot to backup the old ROM, so if someone has original rom for this phone I'll be thankful if they share with me.

I have the same issue. Using Firefox (currently 20, but the problem was also with a few older versions) on Fedora Linux. Using cookie manager, I see that the cookie for forum.xda-developers.com named "xdaloggedin" is set to expire In a short time (for example, currently it is set to expire on...

A trivial workaround: install another dialer (for example, dialer one from the market). Now instead of directly dialing the dangerous code, you are asked which dialer to use.

You should not include the modules in the initramfs. The initramfs is always in memory, so this way the modules waste the precious RAM even if not loaded. It is better to have them on the large emmc partition. BTW, the kernel's copyright license is GPL, a link to the binary should always be...

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /dev/null

I have a request: When you compile a kernel, please also compile (and make available for download) all modules that might be useful - iptables modules, drivers for every usb device, etc.

On my GB system (Rocket ROM 18, Abyss kernel 4.2) MMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled in the kernel and the partitions /mnt/sdcard and /data are mount with the discard option. So we still don't know why GB appears to be resistant to the emmc corruption bug.

I used meteor virtual provider in Ireland. The prepaid SIM is free (the "real" providers charged for the SIM) and 8 Euro buy you a 2GB data plan for a week. Note that I was mostly in a city. In a single day of travel, there were a lot of places with only GPRS data, and some with GSM service but...

No. They would have to be bonkers to release the binary if indeed there is such a bug in LPY kernel. Once they released the binary they must release the source.

This is incorrect. They have to release the source at the same time as the binary. There is nothing in the GPL about "due time".

Samsung officially release ICS for the Note (LPY in germany). They are obliged, by the kernel license, to provide the source to anyone who got the binary - in practitce to everyone. Does anyone know where is the source for the kernel included in LPY relase for the N700 is available?

But he is only guessing, so his confirmation does not mean much.

Why do you say that about gingerbread kernels? The kernel appears to support MMCTRIM in mmc_blk_ioctl(), and Abyss 4.2 is compiled with support for this feature (CONFIG_MMC_DISCARD).

I have an interesting problem: When lxde starts, the Note reboots immediately. This happens both with ubuntu 12.04 and the older V5 images. I have no problem with chroot, running commands in the chroot (apt-get, latex, etc.), I can run vncserver and connect to it from the note, and can even run...

The Note has OTG, which means that it depends on the cable (shorting two pins in the micro USB connector) to set the mode (host or device). The N900 does not support OTG, relying on software to select the correct mode. Therefore, an OTG cable will work on both, but a cable which is not OTG, but...

Mount /system read write. Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl adding the character # at the start of each line. Mount /system read only. Reboot.

5 days, 57% percent of battery used (it started at 92%). Cellular, wifi, bluetooth on, but I hardly touched the phone, and every automatic synchronization is disabled.

This is more a rant than an article. The note does not confirm that "people want larger screens". What it confirms is that some people want larger screens. The claim that "Android phones go for the larger screen" is also not correct. There are many Android phone manufacturers and many models...

It is very easy to do, in a similar way to how I remapped hardware keys. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480130

Should not be too hard. I'll add an option for a "screen off" profile. If you map a button to 116 in this profile, it will wake up.

pgdn has a few things hard coded. The first thing I'd try for another system is /dev/input/event1. Use evtest to find which input device actually corresponds to the hardware keys on your system. At the same time you can also check if the key codes are the same.

Abyss kernel (v3.1) is compiled with CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=y . Since there is nothing about it in the changelog, I expect the latest version also has this option enabled.

Your kernel is probably missing the initramfs image.

The latest version has a configuration file: /sdcard/.pgdn . With configuration file http://my.svgalib.org/android/config.pgdn and with /system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl containing: key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE #key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE #key 102 HOME...

While on this issue, is there a replacement for Mappero (maemo-mapper)? The features I miss in Google Maps compared to Mappero are: On map tracking (including display of track length). Display of route length/route distance remaining. Precaching of maps by coordinates or along routes. Saving...

I did not find (or manage to compile) openssh for Android. dropbear has much less features (both client and server), so if you use any specific feature that openssh has and dropbear does not have, you might have a problem. I wrote a simple bash script to parse openssh's .ssh/config file and run...

Did you edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl, removing (or commenting out) the line starting with "key 116"? Did you restart the device after changing this file?

I noticed the clock application crashing, but did not connect it to pgdn. Apparently the clock does not like a keyboard with too many keys (or does not like a specific key). I need to do some tests to find out exactly. Until then, new binaries that can only send keys:up, down, vol up, vol down...

ez pdf is a paid application, so I can't answer directly, but in general: first you need to find the class name of the application. If I understand market conventions correctly, it is udk.android.reader. Then, after running the daemon you can try to find which keys the application uses for...

The file /system/etc/init.d/S98system_tweak included in this rom includes the line sysctl -w kernel.panic=0; With this line the phone hangs on a kernel panic, while with any non-zero number, the phone reboots. Is there any reason for selecting this behaviour? It might be useful for debugging...

Did you measure that the actual latency on the Exynos is 40us? How did you measure it?

I like a pouch like PDAir "Leather Case - Vertical Pouch", I currently use the pouch that was included with Fujitsu-Siemens Loox 720, which is very similar, but is a bit too short for the Note (and too thick). Does any one know of a similar case that is not so expensive?

It should not do that. There is a strace binary that works on android at http://my.svgalib.org/android/strace Please download this, copy to where it can be executed (for example, /data) and then run it as root: # ps w | grep pgdn 7458 root 0:00 grep pgdn 13765 root 0:00...

Can you be more specific? In what battery stat it appears and how much does it seem to use? There is no reason that this daemon will use any large amount of CPU time, and in my testing I never noticed such behaviour.

I think the best partition is /data. This partition is ext4, so supports executable, symlinks, etc. And is mounted rw, so it does not need to be remounted for every change. If you want to make the daemon suid root, it has to be on /system, since /data is by default mounted with option nosuid.

You can try with this (untested) daemon which allows for mapping all four hardware buttons: http://my.svgalib.org/android/pgdn4 You need to disable the buttons by also removing the 102 and 116 lines from the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl and rebooting. By default home and power map to...

The file with the meaning of the keys is /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_04E8_Product_7021.kl according to it FOCUS is 211 and CAMERA is 212. Unfortunately, FOCUS appears to do nothing, so if you run the command echo profile com.sec.android.app.camera 211 212 >...

The volume buttons can be remapped to other buttons by editing the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl. The problem is changing this file requires a reboot to take affect. I wrote a daemon to allow on the fly remapping. It works by using uinput subsystem to create a virtual keyboard...

There is a battery management chip - MAX17042 in the Note, which does support current (mA) reading. Reading the relevant registers does give results that are dependent on the expected current draw, but I have not yet found the correct function to convert raw values to actual milli amps. See...

It should be mentioned that Battery Monitor Widget does not display real current draw, but estimated current draw. There is currently no way to read the actual current draw of the Note.

Why square the frequency? The power draw is proportional to the frequency, and to the square of the voltage.

Hello, the charging chip in the Note (MAX17042) supports current reading, but the kernel driver for it does not support this feature. I hav no datasheet for 17042, but there is one available for 17047, which seems similar enough. It is possible to read the registers with i2c-tools. Register...
