[GeeckoDev]

Its is gone already. And yes its in that box. Have some faith in humanity.

Happy birthday!

Hmmm, it's a bit crazy... if someone sees that in my student building office, he will take it. Well, I hope not :silly:

Holy [email protected], that's awesome. You are not sending the box as is, do you ? I mean, someone will steal it before I get my hands on it...

Happy belated birthday Mr . developer
And what a gift I must say ..
. :drooling:
Dont report me for ot :laugh: :laugh:

One statement here :

Still working on it. I merged the new framebuffer driver, now the kernel bootloops for a reason I can't figure out and I don't have the serial cable to debug it (paulk from Replicant can help me with that tomorrow). It will also need some more work on platform files in the kernel.

If I ever get it to run on the Note, you are 100% guaranteed it will be working on all the other Exynos 4 devices sooner or later, but it will need some more work and testing. Also I predict that a lot of things will break with the update, for example screen sleep/resume will not recover at all, so it will need more work to workaround that.

Please be patient :good:

Not sure if its allowed but here you go:
Edit: DELETED
Will remove the link shortly.

I received the gift! Thank you @Azeazezar.



Only one problem, the Note needs a battery to boot, and I only have one. Oh well

Cant help you with that, i only have one myself.
Anyway, i hope it will be useful.

Don't worry I will buy one I don't have to flash and restore all the time now, that's a start.

EDIT: which battery would you recommend from Amazon UK?

Hi, don't have a link now but, from my experience ask seller if battery come from Korea (good one ) or China (bad one).I had one made in China and lasted no more than 4 month...

Good luck

Wow, also, today Raw Kernel r4 has been downloaded 10,000 times. Awesome. Around 22,000 downloads total for all the releases.

22.000 downloads, 1 new broken Note, all that is fine, splendid, excellent.

Now make that hwmozart behave.

If you need a good or better one than the Samsung I would personally recommend the Anker ones

Yep, seen that. However they are not that cheap, so I took an original one. Should be shipped on monday.

Increasing battery reliability

Hi everyone

I was wondering if we can reduce the battery end of charge voltage from 4.2 volts to 4.0 or 4.1 volts?
This would be great to highly increase the battery life span.
I think this can be done here "/ drivers/power/smb328_charger.c" in the kernel build tree but I have no idea how to do this .

Any idea welcome

Did you make extended tests to prove your claim? You are welcome to fry your Note by applying the modifications yourself, I won't touch this setting

Yes I did many tests, my job is to repair two way radios and we use the same type of batteries.
In fact we also must know that military equipment often charge around 4.0 volts per cell because they need high reliability especialy when they are on the field.

I do not understand why this may fry my Note, the only side effect is to loose a little capacity but the battery internal resistance will increase much slower.:good:
We must fight planned obsolescence...

Ok now we're talking. I can investigate and make a test build for you, but that's not my top priority for now
