Re: [b2g] Flame is recently constantly hot
I'm dubious, but it is possible. 1 - The bootloader could be initializing some piece of HW that the lollipop kernel changes but the kitkat one doesn't 2 - The bootloader can pass configuration options to the kernel (either through the device tree or the kernel command line). We should be able to compare the kernel command lines by looking at dmesg. The kernel prints out the command line as part of the boot sequence (fairly early on IIRC). Actually, it would be interesting to compare a boot under boot bootloaders. They should be more or less identical (there are always going to be timing diiferences).

Re: [b2g] what is the difference between emulator and falme on the source code?
To see an explicit list of the differences, you need to compare the manifests. For example, on the flame, out/target/product/flame/system/sources.xml is the set of files used to build the flame, and for the emulator: out/target/product/generic/system/sources.xml On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 8:51 AM, Naoki Hirata nhir...@mozilla.com wrote: gaia level shouldn't be different at all.

Re: [b2g] Trouble updating Firefox OS on Mozilla Flame
When the device goes into fastboot mode, the vendor id changes to 18d1.
When the phone is in fastboot mode, you should see an entry like this when you
run lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 097: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc.
The line for the USB id 05c6 covers everything except fastboot mode.
You need the line 18d1 for fastboot mode.
Did you reload the rules and replug the USB cable AFTER reloading? Plugging in
the usb cable is what udev uses as a trigger.
While the phone is in fastboot mode, running lsusb should show a line like the
following:
Bus 003 Device 097: ID 18d1:d00d Google Inc.
The 097 portion is dynamic and will change every time the device is plugged in.
What does:
find /dev -name 097 -ls
show? (change the 097 to match the number from your lsusb output). The
permissions on that file is what fastboot needs and what the udev file should
be modifying.

Hello Dave,
I have copied this rule before from the website. Mine
/etc/udev/rules.d/android.rules looks like this:
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ATTR{idVendor}==05c6, MODE=0666, GROUP=plugdev
But even after reloading the rules with your line below, fastboot does
not work without sudo.
$ fastboot devices

Hello again,
I have solved the problem myself. I executed every line in the flash.sh
and saw:
$ fastboot devices
no permissions fastboot
So the permissions are not correct. The upgrade page says that you
should not execute the script with sudo, unfortunately it does not say
what I should do so that I can execute it without. (A general hint to
udev is not enough.)
So I executed every fastboot-line in the script with sudo and that works
until:
$ sudo fastboot flash custpack custpack.img
target reported max download size of 301989888 bytes
error: cannot load 'custpack.img': No such file or directory
There is no custpack.img in the v188.zip. So I have checked the v180.zip
in comparison and there are some strange things:
1. The v180.zip does not have any custpack.img either. But the flash.sh
script does not have any custpack.img line. So I ignored it for v188.zip.
2. The v180-script has a line
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
That line is missing in the v188.zip flash.bat/sh. Is it necessary?
At the end my update worked. Unfortunately my phone is in English now.

Re: [b2g] modifying application.zip on device
Hey Freddy, There are 2 locations on a device that a webapp might exist. For user builds, all of the apps which ship with the device are stored in /system/b2g/webapps For eng builds, all of the apps which ship with the device are stored in /data/local/webapps Apps installed from marketplace go into the /data location. I believe that /data/local/webapps/webapps.json contains a list of all of the apps and where they're located. So it may depend on the type of build that you have as to where the app is actually stored.

Re: [b2g] After Reboot Responsiveness
I think its also important to clarify the term reboot. If you see the OEM logo (Thundersoft for the flame) then the phone was rebooted. In this scenario, the system is essentially booting up cold (linux kernel is booting, lots of system services are starting and b2g also starts). Then there is just restarting b2g When you do an OTA update it only restarts b2g, and the kernel and all of the other services don't restart. When b2g restarts you'll see some of the splash screens, but not the OEM one. From the technical perspective, its worhwhile to know if you're talking about a full reboot or just restarting b2g.

You can somewhat control things by changing the VARIANT (when build for a real device/emulator) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Customization_with_the_.userconfig_file There are 3 variants: VARIANT=user VARIANT=userdebug VARIANT=eng The eng variant puts the apps in /data and includes many more apps than user/userdebug. user/userdebug puts apps in /system The eng and userdebug variants have marionetter enabled by default, so you can run tests The user and userdebug variants have the updater enabled, so you can do over-the-air (OTA/FOTA) updates. make production in gaia sets PRODUCTION=1 user and user-debug both imply PRODUCTION=1 when building locally for a real device/emulator). make production is really a way to build a user version of gaia for use with nightly or B2G-desktop.

Re: [b2g] Log collection needs improvement
Even if we send the log to the parent, I'd still like to see the logcat happen in the child in the thread that originally issues the log. This accomplishes 2 things: 1 - logcat records the PID and TID of the logger. I've found this to be extremely useful information which would be lost. in logcat if the logging is done in the parent. 2 - If you do the logcat in the parent you get out-of-sequence logs. The parents logs will be logged with lower latency than the childs, which causes weird logs. When the child does the logging, the sequence is preserved. This is extremely useful when logging any type of activity which is split between the child and parent.

Every time that we have performance with IPC it is because the parent process is busy doing other things which means that it takes longer than we want to get a response. I.e. the problem is one of latency rather than throughput in every profile that anyone has been able to produce. However for logging we don't need to get any response.

Re: [b2g] Log collection needs improvement
There is also the issue of turning the logs on/off. I've come to like the ability to use android properties, since you can manipulate them from the adb shell command line using getprop/setprop. Using preferences is nice on the desktop, because we have a UI that can be used to control them. That same UI is currently unavailable on the phone. The only reason I would use mozSettings is if I wanted some gaia UI to be able to control things. We already have code to allow changes in a mozSetting to update a preference and vice-versa. I'd like to propose that we allow properties to also be updated/have changes reflected in preferences as well. The reason console.log has issues is that console.log requests made by a child are passed via IPC to the parent, and then they're logged. With dump() the call to the android logger happens in the child. linux has an interesting approach to system logging. Everybody uses syslog, and then there is a configuration file/daemon that takes care of actually distributing the log data. On the phone, logcat already takes care of the hard part. We just need to be a bit more clever about integrating things. Right now, all dump calls come out tagged as Gecko. It probably makes sense to tag dump statements from an app using the app name. Then you'd be able to filter your logcat output and just get dumps from a particular app. You can get some very interesting logcat filters. I have a script that automatically does: adb logcat -v threadtime memalloc:I ONCRPC:S HWComposer:S Diag_Lib:S QCALOG:S QCRIL_RPC:S EventHub:I OMX.google.mp3.decoder:V You can add logging categories with :S to silence a particular category (or use *:S to silence everything) and then add back stuff you're interested in. Run adb logcat -h to get full details on filterspecs. If we want the ability to put the logging data off-device, then it probably makes sense to have a daemon that grabs data from logcat and sends it whereever it is that it needs to go.

Thanks Dave, for some really useful information. I’ve compiled it together

When you get the chance, could you give the first couple of sections a read

Will do.
I also added information and useful links to

A couple of related questions:
1. Are both the above Methods current, or is one being obsoleted? I can
understand the difference between both, but getDeviceStorages sounds like a
saner, better way to access the storage areas.
Yes - those 2 are both current since about 1.1 IIRC.
2. In the getDeviceStorage page, the following text can be found:
This method gives access to a unified view of all the storage area of a
given type. For example, if the sdcard storage area is requested on a device
with two SDCards available, the resulting DeviceStorage object gives access
to the files available on both cards at the same time.”
which sounds like it contradicts your text about this method accessing the
storage type on the default storage area, as set by the user in their
settings app. Which is it? Has this changed recently?
I think that there was a period of time that we did have that behaviour, and
then we changed it. So I would say that description is outdated. I think it
changed during the implementation of multiple storage areas, which would have

Hello,
Thanks for the explanation!
Now I think I understand it, it seems the API is using the same magic
string, 'sdcard' for two different purposes. First it is the name of a
storageType, used in navigator.getDeviceStorage/s( storageType ). Then
it is also the storageName of the default internal storage:
const st = navigator.getDeviceStorage('sdcard'); //the storageType
const sn = st.storageName; //sn could be 'sdcard', the storageName
Unfortunate.
If the API were ever to evolve this should be resolved but until then we
will have to fix the docs to prevent confusion. Probably the storageType
should be called 'file' since it is storage for arbitrary files as
against for 'music' or 'photo' types and the storageName is 'sdcard' for
all.
Actually, would it be possible to add the 'file' storageType so we could
deprecate the 'sdcard' storageType and drop it in the future?
cheers,

There may be multiple storage areas.
You can call navigator.getDeviceStorages(type) to get back an array
of all of storage areas.
Each storage area will have a name, retrievable using .storageName
attribute.
If there is more than one storage area, then the internal one will be
named 'sdcard' and the physical storage are will be called something
else (sometimes, it's extsdcard, sometimes its sdcard1).
navigator.getDeviceStorage() returns the storage area whose .default
attribute is true. This is controlled by the user in Settings-Media
Storage-Default media location (way down at the bottom). If you
call addNamed and pass in a relative path, then it will be stored on
the default storage area. The onsuccess callback will get the fully
qualified name (for example /sdcard/filename) where the file was
actually stored.
The names of files on the sdcard storage area will be
/sdcard/path/filename, and the names of files on the sdcard1 storage
area will be /sdcard1/path/filename
Note that the /sdcard and /sdcard1 are storage names. Their actual
mount points on the system are determined via vold and/or

Re: [b2g] Proposal: Manage B2G.git scripts in a versioned repo
Hey John, Sounds like a good plan. I'm not familiar with repo file operations and couldn't find any documentation on this. If I wanted to make a change to the flash.sh script, can I edit the copy in the B2G directory? Or do I have to edit the one in b2g-scripts?

We use the 'repo' tool written for the Android project to manage all of these repositories other than the top level B2G.git repository. B2G.git has a few helper scripts to simplify setting up a tree, building a tree as well as other tasks. A problem we have is that the B2G.git repository needs to be updated separately from the repo-managed repositories. Because B2G.git changes infrequently, it's often not updated and that can lead to unexplained breakage for developers. We and our partners have a lot of infrastructure in continuous integration systems which can't easily make full use of the tools stored in B2G.git without a lot of special code. My proposal is to move nearly all of the scripts and tools in B2G.git into a repo managed repository. The only things left in B2G.git would be a modified config.sh script and the repo stub script. I have a plan which should maintain the existing workflow while also letting people use the standard repo work flow. My plan is to: 1) create b2g-scripts repository, containing the B2G.git/scripts directory 2) create b2g-tools repository, containing the B2G.git/tools directory 3) move all scripts in the root of B2G.git into b2g-scripts 4) use repo file copy operations (like we do for the root Makefile) to copy those scripts back into the root of the source tree 5) remove the device configuration part of config.sh 6) create a new script, config-device.sh in b2g-scripts that has the device configuration steps. 7) have config.sh call config-device.sh after the source tree is initialized I will use Git history editing facilities to ensure that both b2g-scripts and b2g-tools maintain their respective histories. Once this is done, you would still be able to set up a fresh tree with the existing method: $ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G.git $ cd B2G $ ./config.sh emulator $ ./build.sh This will continue to work as expected and will give the same entry points into the build system as we have now. Additionally, a new optional method matching the standard way of using repo is available: $ mkdir B2G $ cd B2G $ repo init -u http://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest.git -m emulator.xml $ repo sync $ ./config-device.sh emulator Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this issue. I would like to make sure that there is consensus about these changes before I start because testing will take some time. I will be doing as much as possible using scripts to make sure that the changes are repeatable and easy to verify.

Re: [b2g] accessing the real SD card via DeviceStorage on newer devices
There may be multiple storage areas.
You can call navigator.getDeviceStorages(type) to get back an array of all of
storage areas.
Each storage area will have a name, retrievable using .storageName attribute.
If there is more than one storage area, then the internal one will be named
'sdcard' and the physical storage are will be called something else (sometimes,
it's extsdcard, sometimes its sdcard1).
navigator.getDeviceStorage() returns the storage area whose .default attribute
is true. This is controlled by the user in Settings-Media Storage-Default
media location (way down at the bottom). If you call addNamed and pass in a
relative path, then it will be stored on the default storage area. The
onsuccess callback will get the fully qualified name (for example
/sdcard/filename) where the file was actually stored.
The names of files on the sdcard storage area will be /sdcard/path/filename,
and the names of files on the sdcard1 storage area will be
/sdcard1/path/filename
Note that the /sdcard and /sdcard1 are storage names. Their actual mount points
on the system are determined via vold and/or /system/etc/volume.cfg file).
DeviceStorage transparently maps the storageName into the actual mountPoint (so
you don't need the mount point if you're just accessing the files through
device storage)
If you want to determine the mount point to examine the filesystem from an adb
shell, then you can determine the vold mount points by using the command:
adb shell vdc volume list (requires a root shell)
On the flame, you'll see something like:
110 0 sdcard /storage/sdcard 4
110 0 sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 4
200 0 Volumes listed.
For volumes which aren't managed by vold (the sdcard volume on a nexus 4/5 are
examples of this), the mount point is found in /system/etc/volume.cfg
With the engineering builds, there is a ds-test app (gaia/dev_apps/ds-test)
which I use for testing things on device storage.

Subject: [b2g] accessing the real SD card via DeviceStorage on newer devices
Hey all,
is there a way to access the actual SD card on newer devices using
navigator.getDeviceStorage('')?
While older devices had /sdcard (or really /mnt/sdcard) to access the
external SD card, the trend seems to be to have that location reference
built in ROM and have a secondary location for the SD card. For example,
the TCP tablet has:
root@android:/ # df
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 797M 32K 797M 4096
/mnt/secure 797M 0K 797M 4096
/mnt/asec 797M 0K 797M 4096
/mnt/obb 797M 0K 797M 4096
/system 1G 172M 1G 4096
/cache 1G 102M 1G 4096
/data 126M 89M 36M 4096
/mnt/sdcard 9G 84M 9G 4096
/mnt/secure/asec 9G 84M 9G 4096
/mnt/extsd 29G 4G 25G 32768
where the /mnt/sdcard is some internal block of memory and the
/mnt/extsd is the 32GB SD card in the card slot.
Gaia seems to be aware of these two spaces and may be using them for
different purposes since I have :
root@android:/ # ls /mnt/sdcard/
DCIM
Documents
LOST.DIR
...
root@android:/ # ls /mnt/extsd/
DCIM
LOST.DIR
Music
Pictures
...
although maybe I added the directories by hand to the external SD card,
I don't remember. The music app can access the music files on the card
though, not sure how.
The doc page
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator.getDeviceStorage
does not mention anything.
thanks for any info,

Re: [b2g] [Peak] device storage does not work properly
Hi Jovan, So this means that vold reports 3 volumes, sdcard, emcc, and fat which is why you see 3 storages in the settings app. I think that the production peak only supported a single storage area (regardless of whether there were more). New builds of FxOS support multiple volumes, so it's really just about getting things setup properly. It looks like fat is some type of loop mount of another filesystem (many internal filesystems do this). I think that FxOS normally expects the volume named sdcard to be the internal one, and anything else to be an external volume (either a physical sdcard or a USB thumb drive). I don't have a peak, so I'm not sure what the production vold.fstab looks like. I didn't think that the geeksphones had internal/external media storage areas. I though that they just had the physical sdcard (but I could be wrong). /data is an internal storage area for apps, but not for device storage. It would probably be useful to look at the output of the mount command from your phone and the production phone as well.

Re: [b2g] Device goes offline when building.
In a user build, adb currently goes offline when the screen locks, and after 12 hours. You can disable the 12-hour timer using this script: https://gist.github.com/dhylands/6253999 On eng and user-debug builds, adb stays on all of the time. Enabling/Disabling other USB functions (USB tethering and/or USB Mass Storage) will also temporarily disable adb while the USB setting changes. This s typically for less than a second, but it will cause an adb session to be dropped. I've also filed a couple of bugs related to adb: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1035437 - Add an adb wakelock https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1035423 - Add a property which allows adb to always stay enabled.

Therefore, if you have a backup-flame dir from prior to this change, it won't have these libraries either, and your build will fail. The new libraries were added yesterday and haven't made it into the latest mozilla-central pvtbuild yet, but they have made it into the latest b2g-inbound pvtbuild, so flashing that and rebuilding your backup-flame dir fixes it. From what Alex Lissy said I believe this might happen a few more times in the future as additional libraries are added to the flame build, so if you do get build errors in the future following these steps should fix it for you.

Re: [b2g] I need your help: Developing Firefox OS documentation
Hi Chris * Knowing your way around the B2G build system - it would be great to provide a really detailed view of how it works, what it does at each stage, etc. So that developers can help with it, and fix building problems as they arise (there's been a lot of traffic on the mailing list about this kind of thing recently.) The B2G build system is really just the android build system. gonk/misc/Android.mk is where we have a target called gecko, which in turn calls make to build gecko. There is also a target called profile.tar.gz defined in gaia/Android.mk Everything inside gecko then gets built using normal gecko procedures Everything inside gaia gets built using Android.mk and/or Makefile The rest is pretty much built using android build. We’ve got a fair bit of this already, in different places, but I’m sure we could organize them better, and provide a more detailed description of what happens, how it differs form Android build, how it’s the same, etc. It would be great to be able to answer all these mails we get on dev-b2g saying things like “this sucks: I tried to build for the Open C and bricked my phone. Your instructions weren’t good enough. So that doesn't really have anything to do with the build system. Unfortunately, in many cases, unbricking a phone involves using some Windows vendor tool to flash an image. And we're not authorized to redistribute the flashing tool, nor the images that could help out. So, in many cases our hands are tied, and the user needs to go to the vendor to get their phone unbricked. And for what can be done, each phone typically requires a specialized set of instructions. Somebody has to create these, and maintain them as changes occur. * What other B2G customizations can be done that are useful to talk about? What kinds of customizations? I suspect that there are many ways of customizing things, from prefs, to adding native code, and/or adding default apps. Yeah - there are bits and pieces all over the place. So creating someplace central to start would probably be good. I really don’t know what else. Whatever else we think might be worth telling the community about. Whatever might be productive for them to help with. I have started a google doc at https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/document/d/1Wn-nQSHCxJnudyA0XgkVORpCGGBMUW6fOosxEXMkZ8Y/edit# Where I have started to collect useful notes.

Re: [b2g] How to stop firefox from dropping adb? when screen is off.
If you disable the lock screen, then the adb session won't be dropped. You can also enable USB Mass Storage, and while the USB Mass Storage session is active, then the adb session also won't be dropped. It probably makes sense to alter the behaviour so that as long as a pin code isn't required, then it shouldn't drop the adb session (since, as you suggested, anybody can unlock the phone in this case). If a passcode is required to unlock, then I would argue that it should behave like it does today. If you have root access to your phone, I can tell you how to modify your phone to enable adb all the time.

If closing the Gaia tree will help this, then let's do that. A somewhat radical proposal: 1. Close the tree, find the patches that caused the regressions, back them out, and reopen the tree. 2. Don't let the patches reland until a test has been added that is green without the patch, but would have caused orange when combined with the regression. If the regression was at a platform level or other lower level than the gaia app, the test could be too. But if that's the case it would also be good to have test coverage of the gaia apps. We're not always this strict about test coverage in Gecko-land, but it's been useful to be strict in areas with the problem of frequent regressions. Not getting tests added that catch these problems is an accumulation of technical debt.

Hi Jose, I think that you probably need to disable adb secure mode. I think that you need to set ro.adb.secure=0 in the properties file which is used when the phone boots into recovery mode.

Hey Joshua, As long as this gets implemented by using DeviceStorage to read the HTML file from the sdcard you'll be fine. If you try to read the file directly (using nsIFile) then it may work on older phones, but it definitely won't work on the newer phones (due to the way the permissions are setup).

These results seem to ultimately be translated into 'devicemotion' events for the app. In contrast, other apps do not trigger my GonkSensor.cpp instrumentation in a repeated manner like this. Can anyone tell me what we look for to see how we enable the accelerometer sensor for an app? I thought maybe registering for 'devicemotion' would do it, but poppit does not do that immediately. It only does that the first time it needs acceleration information, which is much later during a game. I also stripped the manifest down to just the name, icon, and invocation path using app-manager. Still the poppit app spends a ton of time processing these sensor results. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

The 1st is that per this Bugzilla thread - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=859696 - is deleting and re-creating a file really the only way to save changes to the file right now? yes - There is are 2 bugs which are relevant. The first is that the editable variation of get hasn't been implemented for OOP (Out-Of-Process) apps (and all apps on FxOS are OOP). Bug 771288 - Multiprocess FileHandle support Bug 859696 - [DeviceStorage] getEditable's result is not FileHandle object. Diff with spec. And there is some work for this bug Bug 910412 - Change DeviceStorage API to use FileSystem API spec which may make things easier once it lands. The 2nd is if I need to read multiple files synchronously; would that be possible? You see the trouble is, my App requires info from various files and it can't do anything else 'in the meantime' while waiting for the info, so the asynchronous method doesn't really help in this case as now I would have to hook up lots of listeners to notify me when the process is complete. Are there perhaps alternative approaches I could consider? The API is inherently asynchronous, so you can either issue all of your requests at once and use a queue to keep track of whether they're all done or not, or you can read a file, wait for the read to complete, perform the next operation, etc. ds-test does the process one file at a time approach. http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/devicestorage/test/test_lastModificationFilter.html is an example of another program which adds six files, one after the other, with a delay added between the first 3 and last 3 files. It starts at addOldFiles which calls addFileArray to add some files, and then does a delay and calls addFileArray to add some more files.

Here are some questions that confuse me awhile. 1. How libxul.so is loaded from the main b2g app ? (Do you mean the main b2g app equals to b2g process?) Yes b2g app == b2g process. /system/b2g/libxul.so gets loaded here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/app/nsBrowserApp.cpp#215 eventually working down to here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/glue/standalone/nsXPCOMGlue.cpp#256 2. In the gecko/hal/gonk folder, there are some files (such as GonkHal, GonkFMRadio and so on), these files also have their .o file in objdir-gecko. Say GonkHal.o, compared to SystemWorkerManager.o, I dont see any code to invoke this .o file. I dont understand how GonkHal.o gets linked or invoked by other files. Those particular files get linked into libxul.so from the moz.build file in the directory above. moz.build controls exactly which .o files get included into libxul.so. .o files aren't invoked. Functions are. To find out who calls a function, I normally use: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?tree=mozilla-centralq=redirect=true For example, if you type GetTimezoneOffset (a function from GonkHal.cpp) then you'll see all of the places which refernce that (you may get more as well, since dxr is essentially doing a string search). 3. If I create a .o file, will that be okay to link this file to the b2g process and make it get invoked when the system boots up? If so, is there any example available in b2g source? If you're building from source, sure. Getting things invoked really depends on what it is you're trying to do. For example, the AutoMounter's InitAutoMounter function http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/system/gonk/AutoMounter.cpp#717 is called from here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/system/gonk/SystemWorkerManager.cpp#242 The AutoMounter.cpp file is compiled into libxul.so because it's listed in the moz.build file here: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/system/gonk/moz.build#40 Dave Hylands ___ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g

Hello there,
Nice to meet you. I'm having trouble performing file operations on the SD
card through my Certified-level app.
-
I've added the permission to my webapp.manifest -
device-storage:sdcard : { access: readwrite }
-
And I've verified that run-emulator.sh contains -
SDCARD_SIZE=1024M
SDCARD_IMG=${SDCARD_IMG:-${B2G_HOME}/out/target/product/${DEVICE}/sdcard.img}
-
Yet the API navigator.getDeviceStorage(sdcard) still insists on throwing
Null at me and I don't know what to do.
Is this an issue with the Emulator build or is there some way to enable
SD-card functionality on the Emulator?
So I tried running ds-test (which has the DS icon). (I left the SDCARD_SIZE at
its default).
It seems to be running fine in the emulator.
I chose Add Del Unnamed File
You can find the source for ds-test in gaia/test_apps/ds-test
Was the certified app installed as part of the emulator build?
I was running master fetched from last night. Were there any messages in logcat?

Re: [b2g] If you use setTimeout in tests, you are gonna have a bad time
Hi Julien, What I learnt for 1 year is that setTimeout should _never_ be used in tests. Tests should _never_ be asynchronous. If you use setTimeout in code, then use sinon's fake timers to linearize this code and make it synchronous. And to prove that _never_ is sometimes not really _never_ (or there's always an exception), I wrote a device storage test where I need to use setTimeout (or sometype of sleeping function). The test needs to create files with different timestamps (as read by the filesystem). I'm no JS expert, so if there is a way to do this without using setTimeout, I'd be happy to change my test.

Re: [b2g] Process Architecture.
Hi Manjunatha, https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Architecture provides an overview of the various processes. The content apps run with very low priviledge levels and commuicate with the main process via IPC (over pipes). Each content app has a main thread and various other threads. JS mostly runs on the main thread, although I think that there are web workers that run on their own threads. The gecko/gonk layer create helper threads whenever it makes sense. We often use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Performance/Profiling_with_the_Built-in_Profiler for performance profiling.

Those 2 targets (nexus-4 and emulator) build the kernel. All of the other targets use a pre-built kernel. Unfortunately, building the kernel requires a case-sensitive file system.

Hi Naoki,
I clone b2g-inbound (or mozilla-inbound, or mozilla-central) somewhere.
Then modify my .userconfig
B2G_DIR=${B2G_DIR:-$(cd $(dirname $0); pwd)}
echo B2G_DIR = ${B2G_DIR}
GECKO_PATH=${B2G_DIR}/b2g-inbound
echo GECKO_PATH = ${GECKO_PATH}
I normally put my repos at the top of my B2G tree, and the calculation of
B2G-DIR allows me to copy my .userconfig between trees without having to
harcode fully-qualified paths.
To switch back to using gecko, just change
GECKO_PATH=${B2G_DIR}/gecko

cat ${CUSTOM_SETTINGS}.new EOF
{devtools.debugger.remote-enabled: true,

if [ -f ${CUSTOM_SETTINGS} ] cmp ${CUSTOM_SETTINGS}

rm ${CUSTOM_SETTINGS}.new
else

So on a production phone, the adb shell gives you a shell user shell. And the shell user has no permissions to read anything under /data (except for /data/local/tmp) You can use 'adb shell id' to determine which user your adb shell runs under. If you ave a root shell, then you can access anything under /data.

I've been trying to figure out how to set up a HTTP proxy for debugging. Basically, I want to have Fiddler or Charles proxy running on a computer on the same WiFi network, and give the web browser on the phone that computer's local IP address as proxy server. The proxy setting can be specified per-WiFi or globally for HTTP(S) traffic. It should be possible per this documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Security/Intercepting_traffic_using_a_proxy There are two JS files with prefs - one in the web browser's profile folder (prefs.js) and one in the /system/b2g tree (user.js). I've tried to modify either of them to add prefs like these: user_pref(network.proxy.http, 192.168.1.8); user_pref(network.proxy.http_port, ); user_pref(network.proxy.type, 1); I've restarted the OS after pushing the modified files to the relevant folders. However, the settings seem to have no effect. Actually, debugging HTTP traffic and studying application behaviour from the HTTP perspective seems like a very important requirement for both app and site developers, so I'd expect a setting somewhere in the developer UI. There is indeed a setting under Cellular and data Data settings but it seems to be for data traffic over a mobile network specifically, not for WiFi, and setting it has no effect either. Same with the ril.data.httpProxyHost setting (which may be what the UI under Cellular and data is about). Two questions: 1) Are those settings supposed to work, or are proxy capabilities removed by design? 2) Is it a known issue that such functionality should exist and work - any bugs reported? If not, and if I'd like to push for getting this working (with settings in the UI), where should I report a bug?

Hi Ehsan, Someone else (jlebar perhaps?) ran into this from switching between devices while in the same tree. I think that this should be a bug. To cleanup, I'd probably abort the git changes, and then cd into the directory (I think its in frameworks/base) and check for changes, which you should checkout (to throw away) and try the repo sync again. I think what might be happening is that some devices apply patches to the tree, and when switching to a different device, it doesn't undo those patches, so they look like local changes instead.

Re: [b2g] ./repo sync failing on master
Hi Ehsan, Hmm. I'll have to try and reproduce locally to see if I can figure out what's going on. When I make a clone, I nornally rsync the .repo directory tree, and then rerun ./config.sh The .repo tree has all of the repositories in it, although I'm concerned it may still think that there is a merge in progress or something.

This is targeted at Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), which is what most of our devices use. - emulator-jb This would be the same as emulator, except that the Android portion is built using Jelly Bean (JB). There are some people who are porting to some JB devices, like the Nexus 7 or Nexus 4. - emulator-x86 - emulator-x86-jb These are also emulators, but some stuff (maybe all stuff - I haven't really investigated) is implemented using x86 rather than ARM. These emulators are more finicky to get built and running, but run faster than the pure ARM ones. What are the difference in between them? only emulator option is for the arm. Is it mean that it can work on arm based processor? or it make an arm environment on normal pc for firefox? The emulator and emulator-jb allow ARM code to run on the PC, using qemu.

Re: [b2g] Is it Possible to use ADB with The Simulator or B2G Desktop?
Hi Henry, adb will work with the emulator or real devices, but not with the simulator or desktop. If you're using one of the production devices, then adb is turned off on the phone, by default. You can enable it by going into the Settings app, Device Information-More Information-Developer, and make sure Remote Debugging is enabled. If you're using a build that you built yourself, then adb should be enabled by default. Make sure that you can see your phone using lsusb. If the phone doesn't show up in lsusb, then adb won't work. How much of the file system will be visible depends on whether the adb service running on the phone is running as the root user or the shell user. On developer phones, the adb server normally runs as root. On production devices, the adb server normally runs as the shell user. The shell use can't see into /data (except for /data/local/tmp) Dave Hylands - Original Message - From: Henry Hoggard he...@henryhoggard.co.uk To: dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 1:03:27 AM Subject: [b2g] Is it Possible to use ADB with The Simulator or B2G Desktop?

Re: [b2g] mochitests randomly timing out
Hey Jonathan, So I've observed something like this when running tests on the emulator. What exactly is marionette parsing to determine if tests pass or fail? Is it the adb log? or console log? Is there a buffering effect happening and maybe the output is just being delayed in getting delivered?

Using a loopback device would allow us to use directory permissions. If we want the data to be non-transferable then we encrypt it and store the key on the main flash. Storing the encryption key in the network (or the SIM) would make it transferable. I think that using a loopback device on a backing store that can go away unexpectedly is asking for all kinds of trouble. The user can remove the physical sdcard, which means that any unwritten data will not get written, and the looped file system will potentially be corrupted (you now have 2 filesystems that could have unwritten data - the FAT filesystem on the sdcard and the looped filesystem). FAT filesystems tend to be synchronous, i.e. all writes are flushed out as soon as possible, and android does a chkdsk on the sdcard everytime its inserted. We would need to do similar things to the looped storage area (i.e. flush out all writes as soon as possible, and do a manual chkdsk on the looped filesystem every time the sdcard is inserted.

Hi Jim, - Original Message - From: Jim Chen nc...@mozilla.com To: dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org Sent: Monday, June 10, 2013 2:05:39 PM Subject: [b2g] Extending Fennec GDB (JimDB) to cover B2G Hi all, I help maintain JimDB, the fork of GDB used by the Fennec team, and I'd like some feedback on extending JimDB to support debugging B2G. As a GDB fork, JimDB includes additional bug fixes and improvements over the GDB included in the Android toolchain (which is the GDB included in B2G). It also incorporates a set of Python scripts that automates most of the setup. For example, you can start debugging a Mochitest in one step, by simply specifying which test and optionally what environment variables to use. Here are some more information on JimDB's capabilities, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Android/GDB and http://www.jnchen.com/blog/2013/03/updated-jimdb I think a lot of JimDB's features are applicable to B2G as well, and through Python scripts, it can potentially do more than what the current shell script setup is capable of. For example, the script can look for apps running on your device, ask which app to debug, and automate the rest. However I'm not a B2G developer, so I'd like some feedback on whether it's worthwhile to work on this project. Do you use GDB in your workflow? Is the current GDB setup good enough? What would you like to be easier when debugging? Thanks for any comments! :) We (the guys that work on platform stuff on b2g) definitely use gdb. B2G has a script, run-gdb.sh (which can be symlinked to run-ddd.sh to use the ddd debugger as a front-end UI). https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G/blob/master/run-gdb.sh This happens to be written in bash, but I don't think that anybody is averse to using python. There are a few things that I think B2G probably does differently from android. We use electrolysis, so each app runs in a separate child process. We currently use a script called b2g-ps (run on the phone) to determine the pid associated with each app. We have the ability to attach to a running process. I think that most people use this technique (launch the app, determine the pid, run-gdb.sh attach PID). If we need to debug app startup, there are a couple of other techniques that can be used. So, yeah anything that can improve this is most welcome. The ability to debug tests sounds really cool.

Re: [b2g] Fake SDCARD
Currently, that's the only way to do it.
Once bug 865347 lands, then we'll be able to add arbitrary volumes through an
API.
It would be pretty straight forward to convert the patch I hacked up into
something that allow the volume name and location to be specified as a pref. We
could tie this into bug 865347 in that it could use the same preferences to
persist the volume information.

So bug 858416 has been landed on birch and it should make its way
to b2g18.
I wanted to summarize the changes that have occurred in the device
storage API.
In order to support both internal and external storage areas, we've
added support for what I call composite device storage objects.
In the past a name like DCIM/car.jpg would be sufficient to
uniquely identify a file. However when there are multiple device
storage areas, this doesn't tell you which storage area the file
is stored in.
So, a fully qualified name now looks like
/storageName/directory/file
While storageName looks like a directory component, it isn't, it's
the name of a volume. Typical volume names might be sdcard and
extsdcard, so a fully qualified name would look like:
/sdcard/directory/file
/extsdcard/directory/file
navigator.getDeviceStorage(type) now returns what I call a
composite device storage object.
navigator.getDeviceStorages(type) returns an array of non-composite
storage objects. It is anticipated that this particular API would
only be used by the settings app for displaying free/used space
for each volume. Each non-composite device storage object has an
attribute called storageName which identifies the volume that the
device storage area corresponds to.
Wouldn't you also need to use getDeviceStorages if you don't know
what types of storage areas are available on the device? As is the
case for all 3rd party apps. And might be the case for some of our
built-in apps if we want to make their code generic and work across
multiple devices.
Each storage area is defined by a tuple of (type, name)
type is one of pictures, music, videos, sdcard.
name corresponds to the physicaly storage areas, typically something like
sdcard and extsdcard.
On a system with only one physical storage area, getDeviceStorage('pictures')
and getDeviceStorages('pictures')[0] would correspond to the same thing.
On a device with multiple storage areas getDeviceStorages('pictures')[0] would
return a device storage area corresponding to the pictures available from the
storagename 'sdcard' and getDeviceStorages('pictures')[1] would return a device
storage area corresponding to the pictures favailable from the storagename
'extsdcard'.
getDeviceStorage('pictures') would correspond to a composite storage area
comprised of the pictures from both storage areas.
Seems like a common use case for getDeviceStorages(pictures) would
be to enumerate all locations where pictures are stored and display
UI to the user which explains in human understandable form where the
various pictures are stored.
Same thing when the user wanting to save a picture. The application
would likely want to use getDeviceStorages(pictures) and display a
human understandable picker which lets the user choose where the
file should be saved.
An app could do that. In our discussions from the UI people, that was
undesirable. So we added a setting to determine the name of the storage area
that would be used to save new files to. Now when you call
addNamed('DCIM/foo.jpg') and the setting is set to extsdcard, then the file
would goto /extsdcard/DCIM/foo.jpg (this name is returned in the onsuccess
method of the addNamed request). Note that the /extsdcard portion of the name
refers to a storage area by name, and it's corresponding file location might be
something like /mnt/external-sdcard.
When using the composite device storage object, If you call
AddNamed and were to specify DCIM/foo.jpg then it will use the
default storage area (set by the user in the settings app under
Media Storage).
The onsuccess method will be passed the fully qualified name of the
object (i.e. you'd probably get back something like
/sdcard/DCIM/foo.jpg).
Enumerate has changed slightly as well. Previously if you called
enumerate('DCIM') you'd get back just the portion of the filename
below the DCIM directory (so just foo.jpg). Now, you always get
back a fully qualified location (/sdcard/DCIM/foo.jpg). When you
use enumerate on the composite device storage object, it will
return all of the files on all of the storage areas.
What will enumerate(DCIM) do on the composite device storage
object? Will it return all files of the pattern /*/DCIM/..., i.e.
all files starting with /sdcard/DCIM and /extsdcard/DCIM, or
will it return nothing since all composite filenames start with
either /extsdcard/DCIM/ or /sdcard/DCIM/?
It will return all files which match DCIM/... from each storage area. If you
had sdcard and extsdcard then you would get
/sdcard/DCIM/...
/extsdcard/DCIM

The filesystem is FAT, so its case preserving, but not case sensitive. So Download/bluetooth and download/bluetooth both happen to refer to the same directory. I think that it would be worthwhile being consistent on the case of the filenames, so you should file a bug.

Re: [b2g] Creating a flashable zip?
Hi,
I've used the following script in the past to create a FOTA update for my unagi:
- Start of fota-create.sh -
#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
. load-config.sh
mkdir -p fota
set -x
tools/update-tools/build-flash-fota.py \
--system-dir out/target/product/${DEVICE}/system \
--system-fs-type ext4 \
--system-location /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 \
--data-fs-type ext4 \
--data-location /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 \
--output fota/update.zip
tools/update-tools/build-fota-mar.py \
--output fota/update.mar fota/update.zip
- End of fota-create.sh -
You may need to adjust the system/data location and fs-types as approriate. You
should be able to determine the correct locations/type for the system and data
partitions by doing something like:
adb shell mount | grep /system
adb shell mount | grep /data

Subject: [b2g] Creating a flashable zip?
Hi all
I'm wanting to distribute my built image of Firefox OS for the Galaxy
Nexus, but I'm struggling to find the ideal way of creating a
flashable .zip to be flashed via Recovery. After a quick search on
Google, I need to grab the system.img and boot.img from
B2G/out/target/product/maguro/ and generate some sort of [META-INF]
folder then zip those three into a .zip package and sign it.
However, I'm not quite sure what I'm needing to include in the
[META-INF] folder.
Looking at the B2G/tools/update-tools/ folder shows a script call
build-flash-fota.py which might be what I'm looking for to help
make a flashable .zip of my Firefox OS build. Looking through the
help indicates that I require several extra commands to get it to
work. I get to the part where I need to fill out this section:
--system-location SYSTEM_LOCATION
device location for /system. required
Does anyone know what I need to put for the SYSTEM_LOCATION part? I
get the impression it's not documented clearly after doing a quick
search on Google.
Any help?
Kind Regards

I recently know the API getDeviceStrages, it brings array of enabled storage. And gecko/b2g/chrome/content/settings.js can set default storage. But it hope the storage will local storage, isn't it? Currently, when you call getDeviceStorages, all of the storage areas returned are local. The storage areas that are currently suppported are internal sdcard, one or more physical sdcards, and possibly a USB Thumb drive (this last one is currently only a theoretical possibility, I'venever actually tested using this). If it can have a remote virtual storage like cloud storage, device user can have a large storage when network connection is stable, and they will be happy. I'm not sure how remote virtual storage would fit in. It may be possible to fit it into the device storage framework, but we don't currently have any code which supports this.

Calling freeSpace or usedSpace on the composite object will return a sum of the
free or used space over all of the volumes. Calling available on the composite
object will return a composite availability.
So if any volume is available, you'll get back available. If no volumes are
available, and any are shared, then then you'll get back shared, otherwise
you'll get back unavailable.
If you call available on a non-composite object it will return the availability
for that particular storage area.
I'm sure I've broken some stuff, but the basics seem to work, i.e. I can take a
picture, and see it in gallery, and I can see music etc. I'll be working next
week to more exhaustively test all of the areas which I may have otherwise
missed.

Personally, I don't think we want to remove the manual stuff.

Free Wifi seems to be much more uncommon in the European airports than it is in North America. GPS gernally doesn't give you a timezone (although there isn't any reason it couldn't since you should be able to use a timezone map).

One day?) * After saving an app (may be web app?) to the desktop, it works the first time but hangs after future attempts (lots of mentions of twitter) * Lots of trouble with the back button, this came up almost as frequently as the tiny fonts on the Peak, easily dozens of times. * Short battery life (a few mentions that it got worse with update), this might also be issues with charging since we had those at MWC with Geeksphones. * Phones stuck in 1980 (which causes errors with marketplace, https sites, and others) * Problems handling a time change (clocks off by an hour, alarms firing wrong) Bugs (things are broken/feel broken): * Fonts, buttons are too small (likely a Peak resolution problem) -- This one got mentioned so many times, in particular Here maps which can't zoom and browser * Persistent update for Here Maps that won't go away. * 3G stops working after a while (8 hours? One day?) * Calendar entries duplicated (not sure why) * Black screens were reported a few times from different usecases * Taking the phone in airplane mode, open the notification center to remove airplane mode, I am asked the pin but does not hide the notification center and this is therefore covering up the option to accept. * Didn't handle a time change correctly (clock in notification bar is correct, clock on home screen isn't, alarm at the wrong time) * Import from SIM stalls out (maybe only during first run) * Outgoing SMSes sometimes get weird characters appended (may be a problem with the SIMs that they're using) * Undefined MAC address * Even though specific Facebook contacts were selected, all contacts were downloaded * After saving a web app to the desktop, it works the first time but hangs after future attempts (may explain the twitter problem above) * Camera flash settings are odd (there are four states but three symbols and the symbols don't necessarily match with behavior) * Browser sometimes

Can someone update them to explain how to choose which branch to build? You use the following: BRANCH=branch-name ./config.sh phone-name You can cd to B2G/.repo/manifests and do git branch -a to see the names of the branches: remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/v1-train remotes/origin/v1.0.0 remotes/origin/v1.0.1 Remove the remotes/origin/ from the branch name. i.e. BRANCH=v1-train ./config.sh unagi Dave Hylands ___ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
