Android 2.x on Galaxy

[Rastaman-FB]

Drakaz and others are very quite lately. i expected to hear from drakaz if he managed to pass secure ril wall on his newly acquired galaxy, he mentioned few ideas that were awaiting a device.

has he even recieved it yet?
posting has been a nightmare recently due to the weather and its going abroad

kam?

Pretty sure he tweeted that he'd got it.

 

[informale]

He has.

Drakaz's tweets on Jan 12th:

Less than 24h from UK to France. DHL is impressive !

It's a Galaxy !

ahh, ok i dont use twitter, it annoys me to hell lol

Me too lol, but as a sign of how desperate I am for upgrades to this phone I've started using it. I have samsung firmware, drakaz and mustymod on it. That's it

 

[informale]

It annoys me to, but it indeed helps to keep up to date with stuff (not what your friend ate for breakfast, but that Drakaz got the Galaxy or mustymod released new firmware, etc.).

So a small update:

- sonique/mustymod never returned. So either it wasnt him, or he doesnt live up to his promises

- We know that the response that the 1.5 secrill returns for some of the AT commands is not what the 2.0 system expects. We modified a couple of functions and can now printf every command.

The command data is a struct, which we need to identify. I think this struct changes depending on the command type.

Anyway once we can print the data, we can compare it to what the 2.0 system wants and reformat it. We may need to do this with alot of commands. However once we've done it we should be good for future version even if we never ever get a new baseband firmware or secrill from samsung!

Thanks kam187, great work. Without a doubt, we are all routing for you! I'll stop by on irc some time, maybe I can lend a hand with something.

This has gone worryingly quiet

This has gone worryingly quiet

That means work is being done!

That was what I was hoping I was also trying to wring a little bit of up to date news out

 

[Bomberman]

samsung firmware have some exciting tweets today!

 

[Rastaman-FB]

illaborate, twitter is down for me

 

[informale]

samsung firmware have some exciting tweets today!

Not everyone uses twitter. What is more, it's currently down

What it said was: Spica is getting 2.0, Samsung Mobile confirmed. Samsung Firmware thinks [still] Galaxy is getting 2.0 too.

I still find posting from my phone a chore so was going to elaborate later
But yeah, informale got it, but they did add the caveat that 'the cpu of the galaxy is lower than the spica... but we think 2.0 is coming for the galaxy'. Paraphrased, but the gist is there

 

[informale]

It is weird to hear this nonsense form Samsung Firmware (am I right? this is nonsense in a sense that you cannot compare Galaxy's and Spica's processors directly - they are quite different).

 

[Bomberman]

Yeah. I'm sure from what I've read on them they are fairly comparable (in terms of power) too... Could be wrong on that though.

correct, galaxy is dual core for a start

 

[informale]

Found the conversation about the processors: http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/33823-galaxy-spica.html

This Samsung Firmware twitter user isn't in any way official though, so it's all just more rumour.

We know that. But they are quite trustworthy, as they seem to have some contacts inside Samsung. And, again, this time they say Samsung Mobile confirmed 2.0 for Spica. And this is backed up by official reps of O2 Ireland as well.

 

[mvnjpy]

does it matter what they say? if it happens, it happens.

 

[mrqs]

it would be nice to know beforehand if it's going to happen, and when

 

[Bomberman]

Yeah, it would appear someone doesn't quite get the idea of 'forums' or 'discussion'

Looks like drakaz is making progress
