Guest Ang3l0912 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 To be honest, despite what they claim, the source on thier site is only really for the Blade, and it took 3 attempts before we got something that would build and work... and that is before you look at the compatibility with the other ZTE devices it claims to support: Building it for the Racer - no camera building it for the V8 - will not build due to missing files building it for the Joe - no camera, and issues with touch screen. and not to mention you have to fix the typos in the code to get anything to build on any device. ZTE have no real idea about version control, they hack around in the kernel till it works with the device in question, put out a software release and then start hacking away to add support for the next device, and break compatibility with the older hardware. I hope they have learnt the lesson with the blade, very tellingly the kernel source they put out for the Blade is JUST the blade, it cant support any other device... The other interesting thing tho, this X850 if they actually start selling it commercially, they have to put out the source code for the kernel, so its possible we could get something out of that... couldnt we get some one to do a rom dump for x850 to help??

Guest hiperborean Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 x850 and Racer are same device.. So how far have you guys come with the 2.2 ROM? If camera is the only thing that's not working, than afaic ROM is done! Camera is so crappy that it won't hurt a bit not to have it working :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rickywyatt Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 If you take the standard 2.1 kernal source from ZTE and build it, you can boot your device, but the camera does not work. The two devices have the same camera hardware so the problem has to be in the board define for the racer I've not really had time to look at any of this, I was in a car accident at the weekend, and am taking medication that can best be described as 'a voyage to trip-out city' I'll work on it once I return to sanity.... have you had the time to have a look at the kernal?

Guest levis82 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think I have a search result. Check this out: http://www.freelists.org/post/ztebladeopen...urce-New-Source about wifi driver, our developer told me that this code is provided by a third party company, so we do not have any permission to public this code. i get uname -a in my ZTE racer and i got Linux version 2.6.29 jiweijun@localhost I think jiweijun is a nick name of man who compile the kernel, and then i check in http://www.freelists.org/post/ztebladeopen...urce-New-Source Hi Benny, I have added Jiweijun to the list. so i mail this man,Jiweijun about where can we get driver for wifi. see whats get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest levis82 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Check this out: The Hungarian blade ROM uses a kernel that was compiled on the 26th of october and that kernel has pinch-zoom in the browser app. That means that they DO have the real kernel source but haven't shared the real thing with us. Maybe the files in arch/arm/mach-msm/* are correct but stuff that are outside that directory like the battery driver and the touchscreen driver is not from the blade source they use. I did have to change a file in arch/arm/mach_msm/ to fix the powerbutton thing though but that could also have been done by modifying a .h file that lives somewhere in include/linux/. "Linux version 2.6.29 (jiweijun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Tue Oct 26 16:39:50 CST 2010" I'm sure the person with the username jiweijun knows where the real source is. http://www.freelists.org/post/ztebladeopen...chscreen-driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest equiliym Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 well if that info is true, it explains alot having the drivers ripped off of the kernel -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest levis82 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 well if that info is true, it explains alot having the drivers ripped off of the kernel -.- i think i got the idia how to fix wifi, check this out: FYI, it may be to early to be sure but I may have fixed the wifi issue. It's not the driver but the wpa_supplicant binary. I replaced it with the one from my Huawei U8100 and so far it reconnects wifi perfectly. It's in Hungarian Hedgehog RLS2. I've done some other changes while trying to get it to work but I'm pretty sure replacing wpa_supplicant was the thing that fixed it. (If it's fixed. Only tried it with one wlan so far) http://www.freelists.org/post/ztebladeopensource/FW-Wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest levis82 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 So, before i go sleep lets check what we have. 1. We have mailing list of ZTE personal http://www.freelists.org/archive/ztebladeopensource/ 2. After reading this list we have GIT of REAL kernel source of ZTE https://github.com/jvaughan/san-francisco-kernel https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap...;hl=en_GB#gid=0 3. We have some ideas how to fix some issues so, lets try... i think i will get wpa_supplicant binary of Huawei U8100 see ia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
