Tweaked 2.6.29 kernel source for the Pulse

[Guest suriya83]

VERY GOOD NEWS! I've got the kernel (boot.img) down to 2177024 bytes (~2,08 MB)!

I'm going to flash it on my phone, hope it works ;)

EDIT: bootloop :D

If we have a kernel with enabled netfilter also the app Wireless Theter for Root Users should work (wich is muuuuuch better then Barnacle) :)

anyway do you have working version for the U8230?

Nice work with the kernel.

I'm not sure what config you started from, but if you didn't start from the config used in my CM6 roms you should look at the device mapper and crypo options enabled in it. They are needed for Froyo a2sd to work.

You should also include the compcache patch if you haven't already (available from the compcache google code page).

Regarding the wifi tethering, it needs the relevent options for NAT with iptables. I don't remember exactly which options are needed. It may still not work though. If it needs a wifi interface that can run as an AP then it won't work. Ad-hoc should work.

The 'GSM only' thing isn't controlled by the kernel. It is controlled through the telephony framework. I'm fairly sure there is a build.prop setting for it (default is 0 WCDMA prefered. 3=GSM).

uhmmm i am no expert but i know it makes an ad hoc connection cause i was using it with my orange boston.

i just thought it should work cause they mention only two prequisites on their site: 1) root

2) netfilter-enabled kernel

This kernel works in both U8220 and U8230.

Nice work with the kernel.

Thanks :)

I did started with the config from your CM ROM. The compcache patch is already included as my repo is forked from yours.

Tom, thanks for the response. I'm guessing from your description that it is this line (from your CM6.1 Pulse port):

ro.telephony.default_network=0 (for WCDMA preferred)

And that I should change that to:

ro.telephony.default_network=3 (for GSM)

Since you've now given me an idea where to start, I did some specific Googling. But it looks like there is disagreement as to what the numbers mean. I saw quite a few people suggesting that GSM only = 1, but I'm not sure.

Under Phone Info on my phone it lists them in this order:

WCDMA preferred

GSM only

WCDMA only

GSM auto (PRL)

CDMA auto (PRL)

CDMA only

EvDo only

GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Unknown

Might that suggest that the numbers also goes in that order?

In any case, I'll do some experimenting. But if you can confirm that, I'd appreciate it.

I did a bit of research and found out that 1 makes it GSM only, so the numbers probably follow the order of Phone Info.

Yes, I did some experimentation on my device and came up with that same conclusion. Thanks.

[Guest suriya83]

could someone relase a flashable zip? since i have no idea how to flash it otherwise.

thanks
