Strange issue with iGO8

After exiting iGO the system power backlight setting goes to minimal (10 secs). Because of this issue, i re-set the backlight dim interval to 30 secs every time i exit the iGO.
I tried many sys.txt tricks but no success.
Is anyone else having this?

Had the same issue. To fix this you have to edit both sys.txt files that are located on your device...

If you solved it can you share your sys.txt please?

take a look in your data.zip and search in config/devices the Touch Diamond II.inf file and replace it with this one.
also use this sys setings, remember to change your storage settings in [folders] and you have to change your SYS also on your device.

iGO isn't able to detect the proper device type with WM 6.5 ROM (as it seemed to me).
Adding the following entry to the SYS.TXT solved the issue for me:

[REQ] Adjusted autobrightness app/hack

Could someone write either
1) Autobrightness adjuster (to set which values autobrightness uses),
or
2) Make a modified autobrightness file with the following values,
Sensor = Brightness
10 = 50
160 = 60
225 = 70
320 = 80
640 = 115
1280 = 145
2600 = 185
10240 = 255
Thanks.
P.S. This is for the latest OTA or, preferably, for myn rls2 rom.

Anybody?

[CM9][Camera] WIP Camera for CM9 HTC Chacha

Hi,
This is a dev thread about the fight for the camera in ICS on the HTC Chacha.
I'm trying to load the libcamera.so and liboemcamera.so from a STock Sense Chacha rom (Gingerbread).
This afternoon I managed to fix the linker errors so camera.chacha.so loads libcamera.so.
I/CameraHAL( 98): camera_get_camera_info: id:0 faceing:0 orientation: 90
I/CameraHAL( 98): camera_get_camera_info: id:1 faceing:1 orientation: 270

E/QualcommCameraHardware( 98): Unable to determine the target type. Camera will not work
E/QualcommCameraHardware( 98): createInstance: startCamera failed!
D/QualcommCameraHardware( 98): ~QualcommCameraHardware E
Now the problem is that it gives an error in QualcommCameraHardware::startCamera: "Unable to determine the target type":silly:
I believe I know why though... I'll test another day.
Here it is:
In libcamera.so:
Failed to set default parameters?!
initDefaultParameters X
ro.board.platform
Storing the current target type as %d
persist.debug.camera.showfps
constructor EX
...
msm7k
qsd8k
msm7x30
...
I believe it uses the parameter ro.board.platform, which is ro.board.platform=msm7x27 in our CM9 to set the target, and that the allowed values are: msm7k, qsd8k and msm7x30.
I'll test altering the build.prop just to confirm it. If that is true, I'll have to find a way to fix that...
Anyway, I'm pretty happy about that, it's a step!

Yes!! I have managed to work around the target error!
DEBUG/QualcommCameraHardware(98): Storing the current target type as 0
Here is a logcat: http://logcat.miui.us/907002
The camera app still crashes... Idk what is the relevant error. I see no preview.
Maybe:
167: 07-11 01:54:31.381: ERROR/mm-camera 7x-vfe(98): Received VFE start ACK!!! This is a user preview start.

Thanks for working on this problem!
I use CM7 and the camera really costs me nerves there. With Pro Paint Camera I found an app that does not crash soo often, but still it is not 100% perfect (as images are 90° rotated and you can't make videos).
So any improvement on that camera issue is good news!

Note to self:
DEBUG/Camera(828): app passed NULL surface
ERROR/mm-camera 7x-vfe(98): Received VFE start ACK!!! This is a user preview start.
Those same messages are shown in with CM9 + Aria's libs (which works OK) and in CM9 + stock libs (which doesnt work), so I guess they are irrelevant.
Logcats of opening the camera:
Chacha CM9 Cam w/ Stock Libs: http://logcat.miui.us/907002 (Preview fails)
Chacha CM9 Cam w/ Aria Libs: http://pastebin.com/sFBWVc8g (Preview ok, pictures OK)

Chacha CM9 Cam w/ Aria Libs, Params: http://pastebin.com/CXemXgdt

All I can see from that are the memory leaks starting @ 0x3b2f0.

Where display is the screen (seen by the camera app) --> rotated 90º (but it's normal, as the App is launched rotated :-/ ).
All the preview sizes from the preview-size-values list are correct (landscape orientation).

Wondering if Change I7c0a2976: msm7x30: Camera HAL for HTC Sense devices (3/2) could have anything to do with the issue...
Tried either pref_camera_force_preview_default on and off, the same error.
I have also build and tested https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Camera/Preview fails , and it fails too, so the issue is maybe not in the Camera app... (unless it is in the preview part of it)?

On the requested preview size, we get:
118: 07-11 01:54:31.151: DEBUG/QualcommCameraHardware(98): requested preview size 480 x 320
And the Aria libs are clearly substracting from both x and y to take into account the viewport is not as big as the whole screen, as we have to leave some margins to the UI and such, right? Maybe the trick is to adjust this in line 2205 and 2207 in Camera.java via a wrapper function, depending on the optimalSize() returned...
I wish I could set up a working compiling environment to help you, maybe once I'm back from holidays...
Keep it up and thanks for your hard work! Cheers!

Digma Plane 7594 3G stretched image problem

On my Digma Plane 7594 3G tablet I have a problem with stretched (or compressed, depending on screen orientation) image.

I guess there is a problem with "app 600 x 960, real 600 x 1024" (in mOverrideDisplayInfo).
Is it possible to change "app" values to math "real" values (if that's the problem)?

Changing display defaultMode on android 10

Hi All!
Did search a lot about my problem and didn't find anything, sorry if I'm duplicating anyway.
My dumpsys reports that the Xperia XZ2P display has two modes but it doesn't seem to switch in any case and I couldn't find how to force it.
{"Built-in Screen

uniqueId "local:129"

mw size 2160x3840 makes 3/4 of the screen a touch dead zone and is a no-no.
can someone tell me where the defaultMode setting is saved or how to change it runtime?
and yes adb shell doesn't even allow to tail /system/build.prop or remount.
Thanks in advance!
