    swsusp/S3 tricks

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try: * go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't really need * turn off APIC and preempt * use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seems to go wrong, force fsck when you have a chance] * turn off modules * use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might want to try vesafb later] * try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single user mode. * due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than S3. Try that first. When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke suspend, and preferably fix that.

Connect your Device to Computer [usb] and configure it to "debug mode" "App settings" ---> more/aditional -- developer options [*]: stay awake [checked!] usb debugging [checked!] verify apps via usb [checked!] PANIC? Go to Google search with "android usb debugging <device name>" to get the operating mode adapted to your device... ex. Galaxy S3/S4 --> app settings --> about -->> Build number -->> [tap,tap,tap,...] ex. MI 2 --> app settings --> about -->> MIUI Version -->> [tap,tap,tap,...] 7.Lazarus IDE menu "Run" ---> "[Lamw] Build Apk and Run" [Congratulations!!!] 8.PANIC? Fail to buid "Apk" or Run "Demos"... .Try change project "AndroidManifest.xml" according your Android SDK system installation.... .<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" android:targetSdkVersion="17"/> .Change your project "build.xml" according your Android SDK system installation and "AndroidManifest.xml" .<property name="target" value="android-17"/> 9. Using/Testing "Demos": [Please, before try a demo, do yourself a first "hello world" apk!] [so, you can test your environment settings ...] .Lazarus IDE menu --> Open the project *.lpi [....\jni] .Lazarus IDE menu --> Project --> Project Inspector --> "Unit1.pas" [etc...] .Lazarus IDE menu "Run" ---> "Build" .Lazarus IDE menu "Run" ---> "[Lamw] Build Apk and Run" [Congratulations!!!] 10. NOTE: All LAMW projects [and demos] are Eclipse compatible! Thank you! 11. About "untitled" demos: AppTest1 : multi-form demo AppTest2: jni coding: the hard way AppTryCode1: jHello component demo [array, strings, etc...] AppTryCode2: jMediaPlayer1 and jSurfaceView1 components demo AppTryCode2: jDumpJavaMethods component demo [about java to pascal converter...] Thanks to All! [FAQ 2]: [Thanks to Ahmad Bohloolbandi (a.k.a. @developing) ] #Question: How do we can design a layout that shown same in real device? [Answer]: You should use the component properties: "Anchor", "PosRelativeToParent", "PosRelativeToAnchor", "LayoutParamHeight", "LayoutParamWhidth" Example: 1-Put a "jTextView" component on your AndroidModule form: Set "PosRelativeToParent" "rpCenterHorizontal" [True] "rpTop" [True] 2-Put a "jButton" component on AndroidModule form: Set "Anchor" to "jTextView" (Because you should set position relative with "jTextView") set "PosRelativeToAnchor" "raBelow" [True] 3-Put a "jEditText" component on form: Set "Anchor" to "jButton". Set "PosRelativeToAnchor" "raBelow" [True] NOTE: Anchor setting is most important section of this design, because your component position depends on this property. And for change width and/or height of each components you should change/configure "LayoutParamWhidth" and/or "LayoutParamHeight".
