22:26 WisTilt2 detule you around? someone emailed me something about a problem with my autobuild and 3.0 but have no idea what they're talking about being wrong.
22:26 rpierce99 detule said the modules being bundled are a diff vermagic string
22:27 rpierce99 might be that they are just failing to bundle or failing to overwrite the previous version, so it just bundles up the old one that is there
22:27 WisTilt2 hi rpierce99 and happy new year btw. so what does that mean, modules are 3.0 but from earlier build?
22:28 rpierce99 i think so, i haven't tested it sadly, just going by what i've seen
22:28 rpierce99 and happy new year to you as well
22:28 WisTilt2 ill take a closer look and see what is different
22:29 rpierce99 his exact words from a post on xda: There's currently a problem with the 3.0 auto-build (the kernel and the modules up there don't have the same vermagic).
22:31 WisTilt2 guess ill have to get more info from detule, im looking at the current module and zImage on the server and they are the same version
22:33 WisTilt2 this guy that emailed me said it was building dirty but i dont see that either so maybe talking about another autobuild i dont know.
23:03 rpierce99 WisTilt2: so when you boot up that kernel, you get the following in uname: uname -a
23:03 rpierce99 Linux localhost 3.0.9-g50eb1d1-dirty #1 PREEMPT
23:04 rpierce99 but the modules aren't packed up as -dirty
23:16 faregran wistilt2: Hi, I've heard you're looking for testers with Raphael devices, right?
23:17 rpierce99 faregran: ha, what I said was if there was anyone that could help you figure out the raph panel collapse it would be WisTilt2
23:17 [acl] which rapahel ?
23:18 [acl] isnt there more thank one
23:19 [acl] damn.. i see how it is
23:20 rpierce99 how is it?
23:20 faregran rpierce99: thanks
23:20 WisTilt2 rpierce99 interesting that the kernel is coming up dirty. thanks, i will see whats going on with the building. i assume it only happens on 3.0 as i dont see that on .39 at all
23:21 rpierce99 yeah it's limited to 3.0 atm
23:21 [acl] rpierce99: it's ugly
23:21 WisTilt2 happy new year [acl]
23:21 [acl] HNY to you too bro
23:21 [acl] how did you spend it?
23:21 [acl] family i suppose huh
23:22 WisTilt2 spent it with family until sunday then played BF3 with my son and grandson until last night, beat me up pretty bad
23:22 [acl] damn
23:22 WisTilt2 lots of fun but very tiring lol
23:22 faregran WisTilt2: Anyway, I'ld like to help with the RAPH panel issue, and I've been told maybe you could introduce me to the problem. I also read in the logs you had been looking for testers. If I can help anyway, please let me know
23:22 faregran and HNY too!
23:23 [acl] Whats this raph panel issue ?
23:23 rpierce99 all we do for raph today is brightness = 0
23:23 rpierce99 faregran wants better battery life
23:23 faregran it seems it cannot be disabled/enabled again
23:23 [acl] ok, does the raph have diff panel makers like the rhod ?
23:23 [acl] also isnt there more than one raph ?
23:24 faregran I read there are 3 different raph panels
23:24 [acl] hmm ok. this should be easy as pie then.
23:24 [acl] so easy im not gonna do it
23:24 faregran haha!
23:24 [acl] :-p
23:25 [acl] all kernels have this issue ?
23:25 [acl] for raph ?
23:25 faregran as far as I know
23:25 [acl] interesting
23:25 rpierce99 WisTilt2 and stinebd had some test kernels floating around back in the day, don't know how far that went
23:25 WisTilt2 faregran, i havent worked on the raph for some time now but had some test kernels that stinebd started testing then we put it aside.
23:25 WisTilt2 lol
23:26 faregran wistilt2, can i help anyhow?
23:26 [acl] faregran: yeah you can..
23:26 [acl] how good are you with haret ?
23:26 faregran as good as you need me to be :p
23:26 [acl] ok, if you haret console
23:26 WisTilt2 i can dig some of those up over the next few days and put something together to finish finding the panel init stuff. had it narrowed down to a few possibilities.
23:27 rpierce99 according to the xda wiki there are like 5 raphs
23:27 [acl] ahh
23:27 rpierce99 100/300/800/101/600/410
23:28 faregran yes, but wistilt2 reduced the number of panels to 3
23:28 [acl] hmm
23:28 [acl] well number of raphs vs the number of panels is a diff thing
23:28 [acl] certain raphs may use diff methods of panel power. like in the rhod. some vreg some gpio
23:29 [acl] you dan dump gpio from haret
23:29 [acl] so thats a test
23:29 WisTilt2 how many people are still actually using raphs just curious?
23:30 [acl] who knows
23:30 [acl] lol
23:30 [acl] enough for one dood to come in here to talk about it i guess
23:31 faregran thanks for your
23:31 faregran support :)
23:31 faregran more doods continue using it, I know some of them
23:32 WisTilt2 [acl] dont know if you saw my comments last week about those new vregs for gsm you found? they cause a huge draw in battery drain when turned off for whatever reason, 20-25ma more so i have all of them left on in sleep and now back to .58% hr without scbs and 1% with.
23:32 [acl] i saw the comments, but i havent had a chance to look into it
23:32 rpierce99 arrrghhhs froyo thread has 331 posts, 67,000 views, compared to the TP2 with 1700 posts and 238,000 views
23:32 [acl] but i do know they are not panel related
23:35 WisTilt2 rpierce99 on this dirty kernel... is the commit number correct and it matches the module commit?
23:35 [acl] rpierce99: we may have lost lots of viewers to tiad8
23:35 rpierce99 just saying the raph is about 1/5 as popular as the rhod
23:36 [acl] rpierce99: yeah, but i guess the brethen need to figure out if the support will remain.
23:36 [acl] i mean if i had time id get that shit done, but no time bro
23:36 rpierce99 no i know, WisTilt2 asked how many people still use raph
23:37 rpierce99 WisTilt2: the g50eb1d1 part is the same on the .zip, the modules, and uname, the only diff is uname has -dirty
23:38 faregran what about diamond? you can add it to the raph, it's the same hardware
23:38 WisTilt2 dont see how thats possible but ill dig into it
23:38 [acl] faregran: i doubt its the same. I'm sure if it was the guys would have done it in the past.
23:39 faregran yeah, but maybe I can raise it to 2/5 of the rhod :)
23:39 [acl] faregran: i'm looking at the code now
23:42 [acl] wtf
23:46 [acl] faregran: lot of work to do
23:47 faregran [adl], I thought that
23:47 [acl] faregran: some panels actually have power down but not all
23:48 faregran the problem is that some of them cannot be powered up again after a power down
23:48 [acl] yeah that make sense
23:48 faregran and, as far as i know, the reason was unknwon
23:48 [acl] unknown my ass
23:48 WisTilt2 reason is we dont have the init code figured out yet
23:48 [acl] exactly
23:48 faregran well, something is unknown
23:49 [acl] faregran: people will need to dump the mddi inits via haret
23:49 faregran the WM inits?
23:50 [acl] yeah.. the other way would be disassembling the dlls which we can do. but i'll need all the dlls
23:50 [acl] does the .35 kernel boot at all in raph ?
23:50 faregran I think I can get, at least, my device's one
23:51 faregran last one I tried was september's
23:51 rpierce99 [acl]: which is easier to dev against, disasm winmo display dlls or dumped inits from haret
23:52 [acl] rpierce99: depends on who you asks
23:52 [acl] some animals are crazy good with haret.
23:52 [acl] for the rhod, haret wasnt good enough because no rhod100 user even understood what i wanted
23:52 [acl] they all spoke german
23:52 [acl] lol
23:53 [acl] so had them email me dlls was the best way
23:53 [acl] Rhod100 that is]
23:53 rpierce99 is dumping inits easy if someone knows how to launch the haret console?
23:53 [acl] yeah. i think so.
23:53 rpierce99 i can take faregran through getting into haret console, but i don't know how to pull the inits
23:53 [acl] you run the command for lets say 5 seconds and in that time just power down the panel
23:54 [acl] do the same for power back up
23:54 [acl] that will show the init and de-init
23:54 [acl] let me get the commands
23:54 [acl] i know alex wrote em somewhere
23:56 rpierce99 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3482516&postcount=1006 ?
23:57 [acl] looks familiar
23:57 [acl] faregran: you can try that if you have time
23:57 [acl] also PM me your disptools.dll
23:57 [acl] or just email me
23:58 [acl] acl@xdandroid.com
23:58 faregran good enough
23:59 faregran this week I'll be a little busy
23:59 [acl] faregran: well if it works then you can post on xda and have others do it too
23:59 faregran but next one I'm traveling to TX and will have more time
23:59 [acl] just dont go ask for dlls on xda. they frown on that
23:59 faregran haha!
23:59 faregran ok
