Kernel source code (maybe) - Liquid Metal S120

[Guest OpenWebdesign]

Kernel source code - Liquid Metal S120 from Acer UK website (2010/12/14)

Isn't it too small?

900Ko is really too small to be the complet source :/

Another Acer fail.

[Guest elban]

It's not the full linux kernel source but it's definitely part of it; maybe an incomplete file, or just a patch to the former sources?

Can someone try to replace the files in the old kernel with this one?

yeah. epic fail.

nothing for hw, only some crap

[Guest Winston Ma]

I think the 'kernel' file is a patch that Acer added on top of the original kernel source code.

EDIT: My best guess is... we could retrieve the "Metal" full kernel source by downloading Liquid E source, remove all the files in msm-5ddc596/kernel directory and then extract the 1MB "Metal" source file in that directory Since the file structure is very very similar.

There are some interesting stuff, for example they have included fast dormancy code. This is nothing we had in previous kernels (even though it was included in the compiled ones acer released)

[Guest bais]

Snap, somebody has to include fast dormancy in custom kernels.

That's probably the thing I miss most when I don't use ROMs based on Acer leaks.

But the question is, is this compatible with the Liquid non metal?

I just compared the liquid e and the metal kernel source. I find the dormancy code on metal.

I have no idea but you could ask Dario93. He made the FroYoMetal distribution.

I can smell overclock :)

Seems the overclock is soon to come.

Dario said he's got overclock working in cooperation with thepasto.

It'd be nice to take a look as the Metal kernel source have some new function like dormancy. It'd be great if all things works.

[Guest jayziac]

in terms of kernel changes, my wish is for FM radio. OC is overrated.

[Guest simoneser]

Acer released now the correct kernel (89,5mb) for Liquid Metal. Hope that someone can use it to do roms for Metal and use something to make the ones for Liquid more stable

:)

I have looked at source and actually we can modify board 8x50 and compile for Liquid A1.

[Guest bais]

That would be awesome if someone could make a custom kernel for Liquid with this metal source.

It may actually fix some bugs (fast dormancy, dialing tone, Wifi tethering...) that affect many current custom ROMs.

[Guest Borkata]

I have already checked and wifi tethering cannot be fixed using this source, because acer have wifi source out of kernel :) But already found source code for our chips with SOFTAP enabled and will try to compile at some time.

I am not really sure what wifi chips and so on they use in the liquid metal, but from what I can see after a fast look at the source code it is not the same as for liquid. and the qsd8x50 code is just the one from code aurora, we probably still need the board configurations for the a1.

Phh should have that code merged into his tree already (bcm4329 source, that he said he had used with the firmware acer use in liquid on other devices and it worked)

For me the compiled bcm4329 cannot load :)

About board there are really little changes and is fast to merge.

And here it is driver that guys from Samsung Spica modified to work with softap - https://github.com/SamdroidMod/spica_wlan_module

I too have not managed to get it to load, I think there is some error in the make files, because the module it produces is tiny compared to dhd.ko, so it is probably some code that does not get compiled/included

[Guest m3rs]

Maybe that is full kernel source:

oh. sorry. dont read :)
