Guest McSpoon Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 If you follow the instructions later on in the instructions you erase mtd2 which is the userdata and not the boot device. LOL. That would explain why my attempt at flashing my own kernel this morning resulted with a frozen android splash screen. I eventually got it back to normal using nandroid to wipe data/factory reset and then restore my nandroid backup. Whoops. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I still have a Pulse, so i'll probably look at making a custom kernel with EXT3/4, swap, compcache etc. and see how it goes! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest martinbrook Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi Guys, Just starting with the source now I have some time. Git repository created here http://gitorious.org/t_mobile-pulse-kernel-source Use git clone git://gitorious.org/t_mobile-pulse-kernel-source/t_mobile-pulse-kernel-source.git to crate a local copy. Ping me a PM if you want to contribute patches. Martin Remember the git repository if you want to contribute your kernel changes. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest klutsh Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 With the kernel how compiling correctly now will it be possible to get something like CyanogenMod going on the Pulse or will we need to hold on for a patched SPL? [off topic] Can I also ask what is the prefered Linux distro you are using? I've seen their are problems with Ubuntu 9.10 and Eclipse etc is 9.04 still acceptable?

Guest martinbrook Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Is there any tutorial on how to compile the pulse kernel? There is enough information on here and online to create the kernel and you will learn a lot on the way. Let us know if you get stuck.

Guest Timmmm Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm guessing machine_is_msm7201a_surf() should return false. Or not... It *is* a 7201A surf. Very strange. /proc/cpuinfo says: Hardware: QCT SURF7201A Board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah I'm still puzzled as to how Huawei compiled it. Presumably we don't need CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT anyway so disabling that is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timmmm Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Any idea what CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT actually is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martinbrook Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Guys, Find below my rebuilt kernel boot image with working wlan.

Guest klutsh Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) Any idea what CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT actually is? Looking at the i7500 kernel config I found # # MMC/SD Host Controller Drivers # # CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI is not set CONFIG_MMC_MSM=y # CONFIG_MMC_MSM7X00A_RESUME_IN_WQ is not set CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDIO_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_MMC_MSM_CARD_HW_DETECTION=y CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC1_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC3_SUPPORT=y # CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC4_SUPPORT is not set CONFIG_NEW_LEDS=y CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS=y It's something to do with MultiMediaCards SDC2 referring to 16GB Micro SD HD cards Edited December 1, 2009 by klutsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah I'm not entirely sure what the CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT does. The Samsung i7500 has all 3 enabled but then it does have some crazy /sdcard mappings. If you google "msm_add_sdcc(2, &halibut_sdcc_data);" then some kernels have comments such as... /* TODO: Enable these once we have support for the SDC mux * msm_add_sdcc(2, &halibut_sdcc_data); * msm_add_sdcc(3, &halibut_sdcc_data); * msm_add_sdcc(4, &halibut_sdcc_data); And some have comments like... // Raphael's SD controller can be found on SDC2 for GSM and SDC3 for CDMA version :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest McSpoon Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ahh. Do you happen to have any SDIO devices to test? Find below my rebuilt kernel boot image with working wlan. My built kernel with wlan Please let me know if anything stops working. Martin Awesome! I've installed it. :D 2.6.27-perf martin@ubuntu #6 Wi-fi is running perfectly. ;) yay!

Guest martinbrook Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'll probably try the new kernel with the new french andriod stack next as this looks like the dev platform going forward.

Guest joners Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 What did you change to get it working? =] Do you mean the french kernel? Or if your referring to martin's custom kernel, if its the custom one, then have a look at post 94, Martin has kindly detailed all his changes there.
