Pulse Mini Kernel Source

[Guest rjm2k]

As spotted by Spook Tooth here http://android.modaco.com/content-page/311...arrive/page/20/

the 2.1 kernel source for the pulse mini has been released by t-mobile uk, this might make it possible to build a custom 2.1 kernel for the original pulse, useful until the proper source gets released. It might even make the port to froyo easier...

I can't extract the contents - keep getting "End-of-central-directory signature not found" errors. Anyone else?

if pulse mini got 2.2 i would probably downgrade

i can open it ok, try downloading again or a newer rar util

Tried again with firefox and chromium. I'm going to guess it's a problem related to my testing of maverick meerkat.

Well actually the pulse mini is better in every aspect apart from the screen size (Which if you have small thumbs really doesn't make a difference. The screen is not noticeable small unless you compare)

it is resistive for mini, capacitive for pulse. with 2.1, big pulse's screen is not worse than iphone screen...

and it is 2.8 inch for mini, 3.5 for pulse, that means the screen size is 50% bigger, it is relevant...

Pulse screen doesnt compare to even an iPhone 2g really...

Here is my wife's iphone 3g in my hand, and this pulse device.

I tried them simultaneously (important, that pulse runs 2.1, with 1.5 it is ab other story).

apart from multitouch there is no big difference.

Its not a zip.

I'm not sure why the fuse source is included.

A quick run of grep shows that the kernel code looks like it also includes the U8220 customisations. I haven't compiled it yet, but I will give it a try.

maybe you are right that it contains pulse sources. I guess it because the pulse

2.1 config (config.gz on the phone) shows that all the drivers have been renamed from 8220_xx to huawei_xx, probably they unified them.

it would be interesting to compile this kernel against the pulse config.

edit: i mean /proc/config.gz

Thats what I will do ;)

fine, then I dont start with it :(

hey waiter, a piece of swap with compcache sauce ordered! for dessert, multitouch please!

lol lol lol

Waiter: Oh, sorry Mister, we're out of multitouch :(

But I could offer you a piece of force closes.

We have much of them in stock...

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Can someone please upload the .29 kernel config?

I lost mine ...

Thanks for the pointer.

Strange - you think file-roller would use the MIME info..

I extracted it with WinRAR and wine...

Where would I find this?

[Guest BigBearMDC]

Where would I find this?

adb pull /proc/config.gz /pulse_config

;)

[Guest Simon O]

adb pull /proc/config.gz /pulse_config

;)

2.1_rmb2_config.gz - RMB2 config (.29)

2.1_tmo_config.gz - T-Mobile config (.29)

Ok I might have done something wrong as the t-mobile config is .27 for some reason. fixed

Both files are identical so it's clear that Huawei have used the same kernel config for the U8220 and the U8230 2.1 roms.

hope it helps

Thanks ;)

Compiling it right as we speak.

Don't worry, it should work with the RBM2 config also.

Well my phone will be flashed many times today as I'm working on my ROM so I don't mind putting t-mobile back on for a bit.

Compile fails with a bunch of undefined references in the usb drivers.

Yeah just saw that =/

Port them from the .27 source?

Oh, sorry, then rather vanilla ice cream, probably vanilla contains less FCs... I am genetically FC-sensitive ;)))
