Guest Tom G Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 The hardest part of the kernel port is getting the wifi driver. At the moment that is binary only and tied to a specific kernel revision. I've also just discovered an interesting trick insmod /system/wifi/ar6000.ko mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66 when the wifi driver isn't loaded loads it with the requested MAC address. I suspect one of the Huawei scripts does something similar which is how it is supposed to get it's proper address. Based on this I believe the way Huawei set the MAC address is in libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c modifying the insmod routine (confirmed by grepping the binary) Nice find. I had a quick look for a module parameter last week but couldn't find anything. I will see if I can put something into libhardware_legacy to read the bt mac and set the wifi mac from that with the module parameter. That is probably more reliable than what I was planning with patching the firmware file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gigahurtz Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I didn't have reboots but gapps didn't install properly until I did it exactly in this order - maybe it will help you also: BOOTLOADER fastboot-windows flash system flash\system.img fastboot-windows flash boot flash\boot.img fastboot-windows flash userdata flash\userdata.img fastboot-windows reboot (leave it to boot into system, shutdown the phone and the restart into bootloader again) BOOTLOADER fastboot-windows flash boot flash\boot_flb_0_20.img fastboot-windows reboot (leave it to boot into system, reboot into recovery) RECOVERY flash gapps flash dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-signed.zip reboot Thanks for the reply, will try that today. I have been totally doing flash wrong then, either just installing boot.img or flb_0_20.img and not boot.img THEN flb_0_20.img Thx. Update: Worked a treat thx mate, really loving the mod. Wish I could help out but I know very little about coding. Thx again. Edited October 12, 2010 by Gigahurtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extract the "boot_flb_0_20.img" from the .zip. My Mac always extracts zips, and then throws them in the trash. Saves me time sometimes but other times it's real irritating. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to read the right value in libhardware_legacy. What does /system/bin/wlan_tool do? I think that may be how they set it. It is called by libhardware_legacy.

Guest cph2001 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) hi all, After running through naniteboys quick instructions, all booted ok (I didn't do flibs boot.img). I tried to have a look at a2sd via adb and got the following. # a2sd check a2sd check Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault Segmentation fault /system/bin/bash: /system/bin/launcha2sd: No such file or directory Segmentation fault It looks as though a2sd has only been partially installed, any ideas?

Guest david_dawkins Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) This is amazing! My first attempt at installing Froyo. So I used naniteboy's instructions from earlier, but used flibs gapps-stripped-for-pulse. All working as far as I can see. Because I installed the boot_flb_2.0 I think I have OC and something else (compcache?). Lots of toys to play with. Dang, it *feels* snappy too. Who's leaving compcache enabled? Who's disabling it? Yes, I'm a bit excited :) Thanks Tom!

Guest Saxo Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi All, First Post!!!! Been an avid watcher for some time now and am completely blown away by all you guys, now it looks like I may be able to contribute (even if it is just to refer to someone with real skill :) ). I did have some problems when I first installed via fastboot, I followed all the instructions posted earlier in the thread but still got no Market and a2sd check reported [1] Segmentation Fault a2sd I managed to find a script that corrects this on the cyanogenmod forum http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/user/14538-pconwell if you look at the section that says So, I need volunteers to download the following two files and see if they work: First: http://www.4shared.c...pps-signed.html <--- Download this and flash via recovery This is the same as my other remove gapps script, but it also removes the gapps libs. Download this and flash the zip via recovery, now reflash darktremor and a2sd is up and running and you should see the market. I am guessing some of us are on the UK partition sizes and it is this that has caused the problem. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest totiadrenalin Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 When format the data partition from recovery, and booting I found that there some errors in /system/frameworks/services.jar I forgot to do adb logcat >logcat.txt.

Guest Stevos Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Does this ROM have any kind of ad blocking baked in? I'm testing an ad supported app, and getting mixed results, and sometimes strange admob logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TonyDigi Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) After so many time trying to install,now i'm very happy with cm6. I had a good rom by this way, do it step by step (hope it could help someone). 1- Upgrade HU Android2.1 first 2- Flash CM6 0.20 by TomG, reboot 3- Reflash Amon-ra 1.5.2 (Recover is broken after upgrade HU Android2.1) 4- Install Gapps full newest in recovery, reboot 5- Flash boot_flb_0.20 (by Flib) in fastboot (when you flash it, it auto set CPU is 691 GHz, smooth but i think it makes battery poor), you can install overclock wiget to set CPU down, i set 591 and had 4,2 MFlops and battery's quite good) 6- Install darktremor and do swap Now i had no problem with wifi, gps, data and full gapps ... and stable.

Guest h3dshot Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 After the fairly successful port of Froyo to the Pulse, I've decide to try porting CyanogenMod 6. If this is successful I hope it can one day be included into the official CyanogenMod releases. CM6 is built on Froyo, but adds many extra features. For many of the bugs we are experiencing in Froyo, we have been looking at how they were fixed in CM6. So rather than port the fixes to Froyo, why not port all of CM6 to the Pulse. The code it is built from is a couple of weeks old, so its still based on 2.2_r1, not 2.2.1_r1. I will look at updating it soon. There are still a lot of issues, so use it at your own risk, and don't complain if a feature you feel is important doesn't work. It is too big to fit on the 1.5 system partition, so you must update to a 2.1 official rom before installing this. Google apps is not included and must be installed seperately. Current rom: beta-0.20 GApps signed zip: gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed.zip <-- install from recovery The rom is provided as images that must be flashed with fastboot. I tried to build it as an ota update, but its doesn't include the /data partition and there is a file on /data that is required for the first boot. I will try to fix this in a future release. Thanks to Flibblesan for providing hosting. would that explain why it wouldnt install through recovery for me? :) and err fast boot is teh whole command driven thing isnt it?

Everything's alright, but Now I found out other bug with the wifi. If I set WEP security on my wifi router, I can't connect even with the wep pass correct. With WPA2 I can connect with no problems. Also I can't read my MAC address in my router configuration. And about the /system/firmware/services.jar? Well I don't know what's going on there, but when i flash the tom's ORG boot.img I don't see those errors in the logcat. So maybe the oc kernel isn't very much compatible with the CM6 rom? EDIT: With the oc kernel it's happening every time I reboot the phone. Now I'm just about rebooting the phone and provide the logcat for you.
