Guest serialmonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sorry, I wasn't clear, the 2nd version has more keys added to it, can you select anything? If not we'll have to fond the values for they keys, tho now the shell is working that should not be too hard.. Sorry im traveling today so can't write too mixh Ah sorry. No, still nothing works as a select key. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ok, I've uploaded a 3rd version... http://android.podtwo.com/light/ I've swapped VOL UP for Select... can you press the VOL DOWN 7 times to get to the 'Advanced' menu, then again 4 more times to get to 'Key Test', and try pressing all your buttons and give me the values of them? I've also replaced ADBD with a built copy, so you should be able to get into a recovery shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 For the keys, I'm trying to compile kouch's bootable recovery from GIT but I'm having trouble getting busybox to compile. Am I on the right track ? The way to do it........ There a number of tutorials around, and I'm not going to cover it all but this is what you need to do... download the Android SDK & NDK using the SDK download the 2.1-update2 & 2.2 SDK, emulator, etc, etc.. then you need to do download and build the standard vanilla Android source, try the boot/system.img you complied on the emulator to prove your enviroment is sane. next you need to download the WHOLE CyanogenMod repository... now you need to build a board config and its makefiles for your device... and THEN.. you can build CyanogenMod and you'll have a (hopefully) working recovery in there....

Vol Up = 115 Vol Down = 114 Home = 330 Menu = 330 Back = 330 Power = 142 Considering all three keys on the front report 330 - I say we made select=330 :-) I've also replaced ADBD with a built copy, so you should be able to get into a recovery shell Thanks, this is working now. And thanks for the quick overview - gives me something to play with incase I want to make changes myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These buttons are they physical buttons? the only reason I ask is that 330 is the same value I get from the Blade when you tap anywhere on the screen....

Guest serialmonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 They aren't physical no, they are printed just below the LCD screen. Here is pretty good photo - http://www.greatereader.org/wp-content/plu...8c_zte-v9-1.jpg They are down the far end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is pretty good photo - http://www.greatereader.org/wp-content/plu...8c_zte-v9-1.jpg They are down the far end. ARGH! I wish you'd said that before :unsure: also checking linux/input.h: #define BTN_TOUCH 0x14a (thats 330) Hmm, the 'official' way to support devices without physical buttons in clockwork is to set a define, that will will cause the an extra 'back' option to appear on all menus, and then you get to press the POWER button to select an option So I've enabled that, but I've also added TOUCH so any of the 'virtual' buttons (or tapping on the screen) should be select. http://android.podtwo.com/light/ Let me know how that works Edited January 4, 2011 by Sebastian404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest serialmonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Probably be easier if we were doing this over IRC :-) Up/down and tapping anywhere for select. The 'back' option is in the menu. BUT, it appears the USB device ID changed and even after updating my udev config I cannot get adb to recognise the device. Anything change in that area ? It worked fine in b3 Edited January 4, 2011 by serialmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest serialmonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Must be something with my setup - I'm having trouble with b3 now. I can see the device in adb, but when I adb shell it doesn't work as expected. I get the prompt, but can't type anything. I'll keep playing, thanks for all your help.

Guest serialmonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Looks like its something we broke awhile ago - if I go back to your first image and fix up that /system/bin/sh symlink then adb shell works fine. When testing adb shell on b3/b4 I must have been just seeing if I can access the shell, and not actually trying to use it. Doh ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh ! ah, ok... hmm well on b3 I replaced ADBD with one I built from source.... so that sort of figures Hmm, its easy to 'fix' as you say with the symlink, but the OCD in me would prefer to use the recovery adbd... I'll check out your dump, maybe it was just an oversight with the ZTE branded one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest serialmonkey Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 btw, can you give the other features a go, backup and restore are I guess the best ones to try... Backup and restore work fine. I've tried a few other things and can't find any issues other than the adb shell. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cool, I've had a look at the dump from the OPTUS device, and its recovery ADBD is also the standard one... when your using b3, you can get connected but when you type nothing appears on screen? have you tried typing commands anyway, incase it is the local echo? I guess we'll have to fall back to the symlink for now.. B) http://android.podtwo.com/light/ Check out b5 :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest serialmonkey Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Not just local echo no. B5 appears to have the old adbd as expected, but the symlink must be missing (cannot find /system/bin/sh) In your previous post you mentioned that to compile Cyanogen you need to make device files (I assume what go under /device/zte/blah). Are the files for the Blade available online ? Or, the ones you have been using for the Light ? Keen to get my own build on there to remove all the vendor branding/apps. Baby steps :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps :-) for me, I put mine under device/zte/blade (or device/zte/light).. if you have a look in the device directory there are lots of example ones.. its the BoardConfig.mk you need to fill out. Bear in mind a lot of the stuff in there is to do with hardware drivers.. wifi/ril/etc/etc... There was a guy on the blade forum who was looking into porting CyanogenMod to the blade... you might want to see how he got on... it seems to be fairly similar device. If I get time tomorrow I'll knock up some recovery zips from the two dumps I have, so you can get an idea of how they work and start hacking your own firmware :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest serialmonkey Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Something different ? adb doesn't recognise the device at all now. Doesn't appear in 'adb devices' despite showing in lsusb with the correct ID. Want me to reboot fully to make sure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest serialmonkey Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 FWIW, I've compiled up my own recovery now based on the latest froyo cryanogen source and I get the same issue withe adb. Question - how did you manage to get the build system to replace the stock init.rc with your own ? Naming it init.blade.rc gets it into the root image but not the recovery image, and it seems that even if you insert it into the root folder next to usb.conf, etc that it always gets overwritten to the stock during a future step in the build process. In the end I hacked the make files to get mine to work but that obviously isn't optimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
