Download is working for me! Downloading right now!

Anyone know yet if this is the source for the recent december update or for something new?

[Guest xangma]

Sexy, but reallly? Release it the day before I go away? I hate the world =P

The new source looks to be more like what should he been delivered initially.

#ifdef CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC2_SUPPORT

//		msm_add_sdcc(2, &halibut_sdcc_data);

#endif

#ifdef CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC4_SUPPORT

		msm_add_sdcc(4, &halibut_sdcc_data);

#endif[/codebox]

This line has been commented out in the new source. I did the same to get wifi working by changing the define in .config. This explains why when we built the source before with the stock .config from the phone wifi didn't work.

There also seesm to be changes re the ar6000 files

Also changes related to APP updates. May explain the december/kernel interactions.

Stupid question ... it is still 2.6.27 right?

EDIT: Just quickly looking at the config files ... Yes it is.

Interesting... we might be able to get a kernel now that works properly on the December update!

[Guest jmmL]

Don't know if this will interest anyone, but here's the diff between these sources and the one released by t-mobile a few weeks ago.

Edit: looks like huawei have messed around with some filename cases, so I re-ran with --ignore-file-name-case. Attached the revised.

Looking forward to the results of your testing ;)

Great stuff.

[Guest mapero]

compiled it. Flashed. And Phone is booting fine on dec updated phone. So it should be able to activate ext3/4 support again.

Excellent! Look forward to an update rom!

Does this new compile also fix the barcode reader issue?

Edited December 18, 2009 by rjm2k

[Guest Paul]

I wonder if will also boot on a pre dec update phone!

Any idea how to tell? Is there a system version number that we can use to find which phones are which?

You can check it by the build date of the Bootloader (fastboot). Dec updated phone should be 26. Nov or something.

pre dec should be something in Sep.. But i am not sure about the exact date.

Barcode Scanner is working. But it was working all the time for me.

Update: Ext3 working fine.

OK, mine reads "USB FastBoot V0.5", "Build Date Sep 10 2009 23:24:35". Under the battery it reads "U8220".

So I could perhaps answer Paul's query once I have done the nandroid thing - my Pulse is an unrooted virgin !

[Guest mapero]

Enabled swap, created swap partion and used swapon /dev/mtd/mmcblk0p3.

But i am not sure if it works correct. Cause free is showing a total size of 153528. The Swap partition i created is only 32MB. Any hint how i can check if it is working fine?

Update: With swap partition the fat partition is not automatically mounted anymore.

Did you need to make any changes to get this to compile?

[Guest martinbrook]

I am now building but I needed a couple of files from the previous release.

asm-offsets area.

All i changed was copying mach-types.h from include/asm-arm to include/asm

I added netfilter,ext3,ext4,swap to kernel.

ext3 working fine.

ext4 not working, partition is not mounting on startup.

swap working, but fat32 partition is not mounted after adding swap partition to sd card.

netfilter: Tried http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but the wifi module is different. We have "ar6000", that app tries to load "wlan".

Found the location in the source, but i dont get it compiled. Any idea how to compile c-code for an app? I hope thats all we have to change.

Yes, that was what I needed to do, strange.

It seems they always give us a little work to do with the kernel source ;)

It seems that file is automatically generated. So we may be missing a step in the build process.

mach-types.h

[Guest Paul]

Just building now... the old supplied kernel would NOT build with Netfilter, so it'll be interesting to see if this one works OK!

If so i'm going to release updates to both my ROMs that will REQUIRE the December update.
