Samsung Rugby Smart (SGH-I847, Galaxy W Variant) Super Thread

[kemonine96]

Welcome to the Samsung Rugby Smart (SGH-I847, Galaxy W Variant) Super Thread

If you create a support thread related to items in this super or for more generalized help, please PM me or motorhead1991 as a heads up. We've been doing a lot of work on getting things going for the device and can likely provide some amount of help. Having said that, please create a thread with the problem so everyone can benefit if a solution is found.

We are pleased to announce the formation of Team Rugby. A group of us doing development work have gotten together to centralize source code, development and IRC channels. Things are getting under way and we will be posting a bit more as things progress. The two biggest changes are the source code being moved to TeamRugby on github and a new IRC channel on freenode #teamrugby .

Team Rugby is pleased to present....

Goo.im Mirror
There is now a goo.im mirror that will contain the latest and greatest of the items listed below. I will be updating the thread and mirroring to goo whenever there is an update. You can find the files here or within goo manager (available from the play store) under devs/kemonine/apache.

IRC Channel
Team Rugby can be found on Freenode #teamrugby. A lot of discussion happens there and we also tend to idle in the original IRC channel (below).

motorhead1991 has been kind enough to setup an IRC channel on irc.androidirc.com for us. Channel #rugby-smart We both idle on and off during the day.


I am not responsible for anything bad that comes to your device when using the information posted in this thread. Everything here is dangerous, may cause a brick, will void a warranty and has the potential to just plain wreak havoc. Do not complain you followed my instructions and met with a dead device. Consider yourself warned


I've tested to the best of my ability, but I am one person with one device, I cannot catch all potential failure modes. If you find a problem and a fix, or have information that should be added let me know and I will update the necessary information.



I've noticed an uptick in downloads. Please feel free to post and ask questions.

Thanks to newbit for his work on the OTA update and getting us an ODIN image that can serve as an upgrade if the OTA fails.
Thanks to motorhead1991 for all the tweaks / kernel and ROM help
Thanks to nicedream06 for the help testing CWMR 6.0.1.1
Thanks to arco68 for the tips on what needed to be done with the Linux Kernel and making it work with CM9 and for the general work on the Galaxy W which this is based upon
Thanks to THE-E for the Galaxy W ODIN images which I used as a base for the ones posted below.

Title: Misc Tweaks / Tricks

2.6 / 3.0 Custom Kernels
Motorhead1991 has created a thread for the current kernels being developed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056652

Tethering
Thanks to nicedream06 for figuring out how to get tethering on the stock ROM without the need for an ATT tethering plan. I have taken his work and turned it into a simple update.zip and Tasker profile. You need root in order to do enable tethering.

Enable Tethering

1. Download enable_tethering.zip
2. Drop it onto your sd card
3. Install from Clockwork Recovery
   If you do not have clockwork recovery, but have root, unzip the package and read through the update-script.
4. Reboot
5. Install Enable_Tethering.apk if you don't have Tasker. The app was generated from the below profile using "Tasker App Factory".
6. Install Tasker
7. Download Tasker_Enable_Tethering.prf.xml
8. Drop it on to your sd card
9. Import the profile into Tasker
   For the curious: It runs sqlite3 every time the mobile network becomes the primary internet connection ensuring that tethering will allowed.
10. Enable tethering!

Stock Tethering

1. Download stock_tethering.zip
2. Drop it onto your sd card
3. Install from Clockwork Recovery
   If you do not have clockwork recovery, but have root, unzip the package and read through the update-script.
4. Reboot
5. Your back to stock!

Custom Stock Kernel
Motorhead1991 has put together a custom kernel for stock devices, has a number of useful tweaks for CPU governors, IO scheduler and the like. His thread is here. If possible, please keep custom kernel discussion in his thread so he knows if there are problems.

Motorhead's sources: https://github.com/Motorhead1991/samsung_att_kernel_source-msm7x30

[de]odex
CWR flashable de-odex / re-odex updates. If you don't know what this is, you don't want it. Please note that the de-odex update will re-install the Tethering Manager apk. You'll need to re-run the enable_tethering CWR zip

• de-odex: deodexd.ucla4
• re-odex: odexd.ucla4.zip

Power Menu Mod
Mod by Motorhead that adds reboot / recovery / download to the power menu. Requires a de-odex'd system. This is a manual tweak right now. I will eventually get to turning it into a CWR.

I see no reasons for telling us the things we all know...

If we didn't root our device. Didn't install clockworkmod. Didn't know how to boot into cwm or stock recovery. Do u think we can have custom rom?

....in all. Idk why telling us things that we know how to do already.

The title says Samsung Rugby Smart Thread, this is a Rugby Smart thread, posted inside Galaxy W due to the lack of subforum.

Yes, all of the information is already written before, for the Galaxy W, not Samsung Rugby smart. This thread is intended for Rugby Smart owner, NOT Galaxy W owner.

This thread, according to OP's post in the General thread, is intended for Rugby Smart users to recover/restore system images. Several things might differ from our phone. And they are in the process of porting Arco's CM9 to their device.

I didn't see any problem for rugby smart owner to post here, unless the mod says otherwise.

That's my opinion, sorry for the irrelevant post. Next time read the thread title.

Keep it on-topic guys. Cleaned, and won't be cleaned again.

Media quality

Does the camera record at the stock ROM ucla4 with the Advanced Audio Codec with 48 kHz sampling rate?

Can you record a short piece video in and provide a link?

Does the camera record at the stock ROM ucla4 with the Advanced Audio Codec with 48 kHz sampling rate?

The stock camera / video app records video in AAC @ 44khz.

I was able to use a 3rd party app from the market (lgCamera) to record video with AAC @ 48khz and 256kbit.

 

[ze7zez]

stock camera

The stock camera / video app records video in AAC @ 44khz.

Thank you.
Can not you send one-second sample video?
If not, please send your online exports from the MediaInfo information in text format from video recorded by a video camera stock application.

I now. I am interested only stock system application.

edit.
Thank you. You do not have to do that. I found a sample video on gsmarena.com.

Cool, why the focus on the built-in camera / camcorder apps?

 

[ze7zez]

encoding license

I wanted to know if the ROM on America has the same restrictions as the ROM to Europe on a similar hardware. My equipment is i9001. It is therefore true that Google has lost its license for video and audio encoding and does not intend to return or renew.

See the file with MediaInfo, then you'll know what I mean.

 

[Motorhead1991]

Now that I can post here, I'll speak up . Kemonine and myself are hard at work developing for this phone, and should have some new stuff to show off within the next month .

Motorhead1991 just received an OTA update notice (2012/09/19) for the Rugby Smart. If you have run any of the tweaks / customizations on this page DO NOT run the upgrade. It is likely to fail and cause problems. I am in the process of prepping my Rugby for the upgrade and I will be putting together updated ODIN images as well as re-certifying any pre-existing tweaks work on the update. I will also try to put together an ODIN image that can be used to apply the upgrade and minimize the hassles of upgrading the device.

This process may take awhile. Please be patient, I am working as fast as I can.

Look out for a new mod I did, thanks to untermensch

what is rugby smart? and what new/better is on the new update?

 

[kemonine96]

what is rugby smart? and what new/better is on the new update?

The rugby smart is a ruggedized version of the Galaxy W released on the AT&T carrier in the United states.


As for the update: unknown at this time. It failed when it was being applied so I have to wait for them to allow me another attempt. Hopefully within the next couple of days I can have the update installed and figure out what is new and updated with it.
