Rebellos: What do you use to decompile bootloaders? IDA?
<Rebellos>
Yes. It's not decompiling at all, it's disassembling.
<HillBeast>
Well yeah wrong word.

<HillBeast>
I've checked uncompress.h

<HillBeast>
And I am sure it is set right in the board-latona.c
<HillBeast>
Anyone got any ideas?
<dmp450>
if I wanted to build a kernel for the S3 from scratch, and I wanted to give it root, what would I have to do? I've ripped apart the boot.img and the ramdisk, but I can't see what I'm supposed to do with the su binary.
xplodwild_work has joined #teamhacksung
<Espenfjo>
HillBeast: xplodwild_work is the uart master
<xplodwild_work>
I am
<xplodwild_work>
on SGS2 and Note at least
<dhiru1602>
HillBeast: the last time codeworkx told me that there might be some issues with param.lfs
<HillBeast>
An incompatibility with 3.x?
<HillBeast>
dmp450: it's set by the default.prop I believe
<xplodwild_work>
whats going on with uart?
<dmp450>
HillBeast, is it the ro.secure=1?
<HillBeast>
I get nothing at all from kernel 3.x
<HillBeast>
In the stock kernel, I had to change a bit, like forcing the console to ttyS2, I also had to enable early printk
<HillBeast>
But all of that was to get it to display after decompression.
<xplodwild_work>
HillBeast: loglevel=?
<xplodwild_work>
cmdline should be console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=7
<HillBeast>
I think it's loglevel=4 set by the bootloader, but I can't change it as I cannot see the Sbl
<HillBeast>
I don't even see Uncompressing Linux... booting the kernel
<HillBeast>
Which I believe comes before loglevel kicks in.
<xplodwild_work>
then something's wrong with your uart, or sw_sel is not 3
<HillBeast>
SWITCH_SEL is set.
<xplodwild_work>
though sometimes I have to reboot multiple times until I can see something
<HillBeast>
It is working on kernel 2.6.35
<xplodwild_work>
if switch_sel is set, you should see at least bootloader output
<HillBeast>
Yeah that's what annoys me most, I can't...
<HillBeast>
With the bootloader, I could at least check a few things.
<HillBeast>
And the cable works fine on my G3
<HillBeast>
And on my S2 it shows me the modem.
<xplodwild_work>
ah
<xplodwild_work>
wait
<xplodwild_work>
HillBeast: flash a stock rom

How do you do UART on your S2?
<HillBeast>
I'm on stock GB
<xplodwild_work>
UART Mode: PDA
<xplodwild_work>
then it should work fine
<xplodwild_work>
that's one of the thousands samsung dialer codes
<HillBeast>
It's already set to PDA.
<xplodwild_work>
weird
<HillBeast>
As I said, it's working on the stock (well slightly modified to allow UART) kernel.
<HillBeast>
How does UART work on the S2?

Okay so I managed to change the SWITCH_SEL, and CMDLINE from the blind console.
<HillBeast>
I nearly f**ked up the param because I forgot that it needed the omapfb set by the cmdline
<HillBeast>
Luckily I posted my dmesg a while ago and I got my cmdline back from there.
<HillBeast>
So now I have loglevel 7 on the phone.
<xplodwild_work>
you can recompile kernel with forced cmdline if you bork it
<HillBeast>
Yeah that's how I did it before.
<HillBeast>
I did CMDLINE_EXTEND
<HillBeast>
I had to port that to kernel 2.6.35
<HillBeast>
But now I can access Sbl kind of.
<HillBeast>
But not see it...

supercurio: hi. how are your sound meassurements going for i9300?
<supercurio>
hey codeworkx !
<supercurio>
how are you?
<supercurio>
codeworkx, I have tons of data & graphs
<codeworkx>
fine, thanks. how about you?
<supercurio>
cool too thanks :)
<koud_>
I like data
<koud_>
especially with graphs
<IamSachin>
wow, two maestros discussing :D
<supercurio>
codeworkx, that lead to some optimizations / modifications, that I shared with wolfsonmicro a few weeks ago
<codeworkx>
i'm currently running my opensource audio hal. samsung seems to do heavy equalizing on their hal and messing up low frequencies.
<supercurio>
codeworkx, I'm now preparing articles that show differences and explains what it is about
<supercurio>
codeworkx, that's not the case
<supercurio>
codeworkx, except on speaker and recording
<codeworkx>
i'm talking about speaker :-D
<supercurio>
the stereo recording path is software-equalized and process with bad taste
<supercurio>
ah yes, every speaker is supposed to be EQed
<supercurio>
codeworkx, btw I was thinking about working on an optimized processing (DRC+EQ) settings to contribute to your hal
<supercurio>
after I saw your tweet
<supercurio>
but didn't installed yet CM
<codeworkx>
i'm finetuning it today and then i'll merge it in
<supercurio>
codeworkx, I believe using hardware features should be better (mostly for battery life) than using software
<supercurio>
codeworkx, BTW on Samsung ROM you can easily notice mediaserver CPU usage in battery stats: its when its processing audio for speaker
<koud_>
200usd for gn with little bit cracked screen, is it worth it?
<codeworkx>
supercurio: curious what we can get out of this beast
<supercurio>
codeworkx, however with new filters APIs it should be possible to setup also in software
trackzz has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<supercurio>
the only issue with using hardware DRC & EQ for speaker is when you know you have an output path that is speaker + headphone
<supercurio>
WM1811 has only 1 stereo DAC
trackzz has joined #teamhacksung
<supercurio>
so the EQ & processing will be applied on both speaker and headphones
<supercurio>
but it's not so bad, it should happend only when you have a notification
<Wout`>
supercurio: do you have friends at Yamaha by any chance? :P
<supercurio>
Wout`, I had contacts with them (preparing NDA setup etc) at first, then no answer anymore after I worte the audio review for Anandtech ^^
<supercurio>
I guess their interest in critic and feedback was not so sincere after all
<supercurio>
codeworkx, anyway you can count on my contribution for the speaker EQ & DRC setup for CM
<supercurio>
what Bumble-Bee showed me about the new the new hal is nice
<Wout`>
supercurio: ah, so nothing of use in getting i9100 to work on JB? :/ too bad
<supercurio>
Wout`, sorry I don't know enough about it to answer your question
<codeworkx>
supercurio: :-)
<supercurio>
codeworkx, also I'm not sure it will be possible with the HAL configuration
<supercurio>
codeworkx, but I shall provide 2 profiles, one for "music" and one more generic that emphasis voice
<supercurio>
I don't think the hal provides access to user-customization tho, so.. well, I'll give at least choice to you guys
<supercurio>
thing is an EQ & DRC profile optimized for music gives you better bass response and balance between frequencies
<supercurio>
but voice, when you listen to podcasts or nativation instruction appear less "lodu"
<supercurio>
codeworkx, just tell me when you think its time for me to poke the HAL on Galaxy S III for the EQ and i'll work on that
KalimAz is now known as KalimAz|Away

not all EQ registers are mapped in ALSA controls on Mark brown WM8994/WM1811 driver
<supercurio>
if they were it would be straightfoward to enable the speaker EQ, then disable it without any kind of conflict
atinm is now known as atinm|work
<supercurio>
basically, the Gain values for each 5 bands (-12 to +12dB) are exposed as controls
<supercurio>
but not the (proprietary) coefficients used to set center frequency, bandwidth and FIR filter optimization of those bands
<supercurio>
so, that's the challenge here, how to implement in the hal stuff which is not ALSA without making a mess
netmaxt3r has joined #teamhacksung
<supercurio>
one option could be to use the default bands configuration, but the result will not be as fine-tuned as expected
<peterperfect>
how do we know which coefficients is the fined tuned ones?

measurement?
<supercurio>
yes measurements, listening tests and manual tuning

I think in general japanese companies are bit more afraid of that

koud_, manufacturers are very much afraid of the bad press or potential backfire, so except if somone inside is really pushing to open doors most prefer just not answering or interfering at all

it is almost a must in the chip world
<supercurio>
yes even if they're not praised for audio quality (they really have been bashed very hard for it)
<supercurio>
they can make an honorable come back with drivers & docs
<koud_>
yeah hope so
<koud_>
and by now I think this chip should not be that secret

getting bit old no?

don't really know life of audio chips though
<supercurio>
there's nothing secret about how to driver this chip
rtfpessoa1 has joined #teamhacksung
<koud_>
speakers seems to live forever :P so might be same for audio chips
<supercurio>
I mean, the driver is a bit strange
<supercurio>
because it's a complete framework on top of ALSA (or behind alsa)
<koud_>
I wonder if the samsung devs complained
<supercurio>
it translates ALSA controls, via a bunch of layers into different hex values sent to the chip directly via i2c
<koud_>
when working with it
<supercurio>
that's why the driver is 1.5MB of C code ^^
Perka has joined #teamhacksung
<koud_>
wow
<supercurio>
it must be machine-generated, by a software building automatically drivers for many chips and several OSes
<supercurio>
based on defined chip specs
<koud_>
hmm
<koud_>
does not seem very flexible
<supercurio>
then guys from Yamaha come 2-3 months to work with the manufacturer for the hardware/software integration

messing with things here and there, not neccesarily in a "clean" way (hence the various ioctl added to the driver to make it work on the real device)

I'm not very optimistic about the outcome of the requests we can send them
<koud_>
I can understand that
<koud_>
but atleast worth a try
<supercurio>
for docs, why not
<supercurio>
but for any help concerning the machine-generated drivers...
<koud_>
well atleast docs might give some help
<supercurio>
codeworkx, what is it that doesn't work?
<koud_>
if we have developers willing to work implementing it, and also has the skill implementing it
<supercurio>
codeworkx, for ICS you would have to sniff and replicate each ALSA command and re-implement the same thing through the new HAL right?
<supercurio>
for each path
<supercurio>
(a lot of hard work)

supercurio: right
<codeworkx>
supercurio: not that hard. start music, run tinymix, copy to meld, diff it, write down
<codeworkx>
and that for every case
<codeworkx>
takes some hours
<supercurio>
codeworkx, sometimes you have precisely timed events, like for DC Servo calibration
<supercurio>
and command order to follow
<codeworkx>
-.-
<supercurio>
I mean sequences
Perka has joined #teamhacksung
<supercurio>
so even if it output sound you can have nasty DC offset leaking current, burning speaker or stuff like that (in worst case)
<koud_>
they don't put protection in hardware to prevent such things?
<koud_>
or they just let software be able to do whatever it wants?
<supercurio>
no typically you can burn a speaker (or earpiece, more fragile) with a DC offset. it gets hot and dies
<supercurio>
I never tried but wolfson guy said they burned plenty in tests so.. ^
<koud_>
:P
<koud_>
I am curious how samsung will do for jb update
<supercurio>
on Galaxy S I I9000 ? ;)
<koud_>
:P
<koud_>
that one I know :P
<koud_>
do they have contract with yamaha
<koud_>
to get support for some time
<supercurio>
of course
<koud_>
or for each update they pay to get it fixed?
<koud_>
ok
<koud_>
I wonder how long those contracts are
KhasMek has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<supercurio>
long enough
<koud_>
so usually contract expiring is not a cause of no more android updates you think? :P
<supercurio>
they're constantly evaluating chips from several subcontractors for new devices anyway
KhasMek has joined #teamhacksung
<koud_>
cause for
<supercurio>
so if one causes issue with updates.. he will be out of the game and you don't want to be out of the game with samsung
<koud_>
that's true
<koud_>
the s2 must have done well for yamaha
<koud_>
atleast in their bank :P
<koud_>
maybe not for press
<supercurio>
yes
<supercurio>
S2, Galaxy Note.. pretty much everything based on this Exynos version
<supercurio>
(Tab 7 Plus, Tab 7.7 ec)
<supercurio>
etc
<koud_>
out of that hardware maybe note would have the biggest chance of jb update
<koud_>
or tab 7.7

are the s3 headphones white?
<supercurio>
I think so (not 100% sure)
<codeworkx>
i've 5 pairs :-D
<koud_>
lol :P
<koud_>
any better than the s2 pairs?
<supercurio>
you can become rich on ebay
<koud_>
those sucked
<codeworkx>
s2 are best
<codeworkx>
s3 are crap
<koud_>
really?
<koud_>
you liked s3 one?

eh

s2

i'm not sure if they're from s2 xD

I have to buy new headphones atleast every 6 month
<koud_>
they always break

ok, the black ones do better
<koud_>
black with some silver?
<koud_>
I think thats how the s2 ones looked like
<supercurio>
koud_, every earphone are fragile.. no matter the cost :/
<codeworkx>
yes
<supercurio>
codeworkx, do you have a Galaxy Tab 2 as well?
<codeworkx>
yes
<koud_>
supercurio: yeah I found this out :/ always the cable that broke :/
<supercurio>
codeworkx, I bought a cheap 7" 8Gb: bests evey other device in audio measurements :)
<JieeHD>
Anyone know how to get around this - error: 'start_index' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
<codeworkx>
reminds me of something. the 6 gtab2s need audio hal, too :-D
<codeworkx>
damn
<supercurio>
there's some slight differences in the configuration
<supercurio>
like on the output channel mixer
<codeworkx>
black != black

If I squint my eyes, the sound quality gets better on Gnex.

codeworkx: maybe can make compromise?

<Entropy512>
<supercurio> you know thanks for identifying flaws so we can improve or fix - does not sound like Samsung at all...
<Entropy512>
<supercurio> they can make an honorable come back with drivers & docs - yeah... Samsung doesn't seem to realize that they could turn the whole eMMC mess from a PR disaster into a PR coup with just a little bit of cooperation
<peterperfect>
really dont
<Entropy512>
and as to Yamaha's driver - either machine-generated, or written by someone from a primitive tribe with no concept of 0
<Entropy512>
or on SERIOUS mind-altering drugs
<Entropy512>
codeworkx: I can try and resurrect my "improved" audio path debugging patch and clean it up a bit to make it less painful to read
<Entropy512>
go/no go?
<supercurio>
Entropy512, hehe hi :)
<supercurio>
Entropy512, well both Samsung (you know who) and Wolfson were happy with the feedback
<supercurio>
Entropy512, for Samsung well it can take ages to get things going in the right direction, but at least they listen
<supercurio>
and Wolfson: just awesome and super reactive
<Entropy512>
yeah, I have yet to hear anything negative about Wolfson
<Entropy512>
as to Samsung... the whole XXLQ5/XWLPM fiasco has really made me lose most hope... The only reason I'm continuing is in the hope that at least some users might be able to have their devices resurrected
<Entropy512>
it disturbs me though - even though Samsung claims to have a repair method, their service centers are still just tossing motherboards out and replacing them at great cost to the user if they're out of warranty
<Entropy512>
now to dig up that old hacking patch from the micswap days...
<Entropy512>
gah where is it
<Entropy512>
:(
<koud_>
<Entropy512> it disturbs me though - even though Samsung claims to have a repair method, their service centers are still just tossing motherboards out and replacing them at great cost to the user if they're out of warranty <- they should really apologize for this...
<supercurio>
ah yes if it's at the user cost its not cool
<Entropy512>
this is what bothers me the most about the situation - and why I consider even a 1% damage rate from stock recovery unacceptable - users are being told they have to pay for motherboard replacement in many cases
<Entropy512>
yay
<Entropy512>
I found my yamaha_debug patch, forgot I was instrumenting gingerbread. :)
<koud_>
in general I think samsung is not that great of a company
<koud_>
like many big korean companies they have some bribe issues, corrupted
<koud_>
family run business
<koud_>
just really hoping them to turn to the good side
<koud_>
but they seem to stumble often
<Entropy512>
I think part of it is a lack of understanding about how to look good in the eyes of Western customers
<Entropy512>
especially the US
<koud_>
yeah
<Entropy512>
hiding your mistakes is seen by US customers as "cover-up" - that's a VERY dirty word here
<Entropy512>
making a mistake, and then taking steps to correct it - most customers will forget the mistake, and remember how you handled it
<Entropy512>
because it's assumed - everyone makes mistakes
<Entropy512>
how you deal with them is what sets the good companies from the bad
<koud_>
and I don't think they realise that even though they pretty much run different departments as different competing companies
<koud_>
it still hurts their other branches when someone mess up
<Entropy512>
yup - except for those that are themselves employees of megacorporations with similar issues
<Entropy512>
they are simply seen as "Samsung"
<koud_>
:P
<Entropy512>
but even as an employee of a huge corporation that has occasional infighting - even my company is nowhere close to as bad as they seem to be with some issues
<koud_>
also I think samsung is not used to be in spotlight like this
<koud_>
in the days of flip phones and tvs
<koud_>
it was not the same fan hype
trinode has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]

peterperfect has quit [Quit: Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm]

yeah... They're not used to Android, where you're gauged against Nexus for quality and hackability
netmaxt3r has joined #teamhacksung
<Entropy512>
they're in bad shape if none of the next Nexus series of phones come from them
<Entropy512>
it says to people "samsung botched it bigtime"
<Entropy512>
especially with Google pushing the Nexus a lot harder than they used to
<koud_>
I am hoping for asus making nexus phone
<koud_>
asus and google seems like good couple
<koud_>
in general I like TW companies more than korean :P
<Entropy512>
Yeah, however Asus has little phone experience - could be awesome, could be fail. However, in general, Asus DOES have a very good hardware quality track record
<Entropy512>
As much as I'd miss AMOLED
<Entropy512>
If it were OMAP-based or possibly even Tegra, I'd go for an Asus Nexus
<Entropy512>
OMAP5 Nexus = TAKE MY MONEY
<koud_>
:P
<koud_>
same here
<koud_>
I am bit afraid of tegra
<Entropy512>
same
<koud_>
I trust their engineers
<Entropy512>
even if it were another Samsung Nexus - as long as it's Nexus
<koud_>
not their head though
dmp450 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

maybe I like asus more because I keep seeing asus sweden active on swedish forums and social media
trackzz has quit [Quit: Bye]
<koud_>
and give people early builds to xda guys
<koud_>
to get feedback
<koud_>
wish I could see samsung do that, instead of just retweeting people praising them
<Entropy512>
Asus is giving early builds too?
<koud_>
that's what I have heard
<Entropy512>
Sony is, if Sony had better hardware I'd definitely give them a try
<Entropy512>
They opensourced their sensor HAL too
<Entropy512>
but they're mostly Qcom
<Entropy512>
:(
<koud_>
Entropy512: I am afraid it was ericsson that did it :/
<koud_>
could possibly go away now when they move to japan
<Entropy512>
Yeah. I'm kind of watching them to see if things continue or they become "typical Sony"
<Entropy512>
I probably would've bought one of their phones as a hacktoy if not for my worry they'll regress
<koud_>
i feel just ericsson would have been better at phones
<koud_>
but then again I am baised
<Entropy512>
after all their tablet divison is apparently awful
<koud_>
from sweden and ericsson is big part of my university town :P
<Entropy512>
:)
<koud_>
my mom got xperia s
<koud_>
seems like nice phone
<koud_>
except for horrible capacative buttons
<koud_>
impossible to touch
<Entropy512>
buttons had bad reviews I remember
<koud_>
yeah, but i belive they were too kind
<koud_>
those buttons are totally useless
<koud_>
I have 20% success rate pressing them
<Entropy512>
whoa
<Entropy512>
what is all this shit in mcdebuglog.c and how do I turn it on?
