Guest kallt_kaffe Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thats what I love to hear :unsure: They also provide SVN access which may be better for people developing using windows (with cygwin/build servers etc), my experience of git on windows gave me the impression that it was an unloved child. Is it even possible to compile the kernel on Windows? git is OK for me although I find the github webinterface a bit confusing after having used the sourceforge git a lot in the past (androidhtc.sf.net).

Guest t0mm13b Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Changing the base adress in the mkbootimg command does not help. In fact for a long time I put 0x03000000 in the mkbootimg command and it booted just fine. I believe the appsboot.mbn loads it to 0x02a00000 no matter what you put in the boot.im. Also compiling the the 2.1 kernel for 0x02600000 resulted in over 300 differences when I did a hex compare. I suppose we could propably hack amss.mbn and appsboot.mbn to use 0x02500000 and 0x02600000 and free up 4Mb more memory but it's hardly worth the trouble and the risk. Changing the adresses and recompiling works fine. I will give this one more shot by specifying the base address... other than that... that's about how far I can go... brain strained a bit too mucho... :unsure: Cheers for the tip @kallt_kaffe B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no, you can use cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) to compile it which is akin to a linux system that runs in windows (like the Microsoft Unix service). Its great to hear you are familiar with git :unsure: What H/W did you guys on androidhtc.sf.net get android running on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sebbo90 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 After doing some searching and digging the problem with porting gingerbread is that the phone services don't work, RIL? is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arr Too Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Is it even possible to compile the kernel on Windows? I fear that your suspicions are correct, due to lots of (necessary?) .c and .h files in the same directory which have the same name apart from case (e.g. in kernel/include/linux/netfilter) -- if I were a conspiracy lover then I'd say it looks a little like deliberate sabotage!

If we could lock every dev in a room for a week I'm sure they'll find a fix :unsure: It seems rom developing for the blade will start to get boring soon now that we have everything fixed :/, could someone not contact ZTE and ask what they've changed with the ril?

Guest Frankish Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 So could we not even compile a rom from AOSP then due to RIL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stragulus Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Interesting thread to follow! I've been meaning to try and roll my own kernel, and now I've finally succeeded in doing so. Love the github setup. Noticed that NFS support has been enabled in the .config, very happy with that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fonix232 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 No, but I guess it's about time I create one. I hoped so :D Can you add one little thing to the kernel, what I would really love to use? It is USB Host function, what is by default disabled in yours (AFAIK). And of course, some drivers like USB HID and Storage :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the github setup. Noticed that NFS support has been enabled in the .config, very happy with that :D me too - and to think I was hanging on for a cifs module - although nfs is not so simple and requires a load of user-space daemons to run on the client! (I remember cross-compiling NFS client to work on my Freecom MusicPal internet radio) so you may prefer CIFS anyway - it's just a kernel module and that's it!

Guest oh!dougal Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 ... {@kk} Can you add one little thing to the kernel, what I would really love to use? It is USB Host function, what is by default disabled in yours (AFAIK). And of course, some drivers like USB HID and Storage :D USB host (with some practical drivers) & a simple enable/disable switch app (if not auto-switching just yet) is high on my wish list once the thing is rock-solid. This was presented to the forum a while back, but didn't seem to be picked up. But cake first, then the icing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the second set zero byte files? Hard to imagine they are truly necessary if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sudoeste Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 One question for those that know what they are talking about: As ZTE customized framework code to communicate to radio layer, isn't ZTE supposed to release the framework code also ? isn't that also GPL ?

Guest Tom G Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I believe the appsboot.mbn loads it to 0x02a00000 no matter what you put in the boot.img. It does recognise the change. With base set to 0x02600000 it outputs Booting Linux booting linux @ 0x2608000, ramdisk @ 0x3600000 (837554) cmdline: no_console_suspend=1 console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open Source != GPL. Very little of Android is covered by GPL. If it was, big corporations (Sony, Motorola etc) wouldn't be using it. The only bit I can think of that is GPL is the kernel. The Google maintained bits are under the Apache license. A lot of the external bits are dual license, GPL and Apache/BSD, so the GPL rules aren't enforced. There are probably a few external bits that are GPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulsss Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Is there any chance the notification LED can be made to work, blink or just stay on, when the phone is sleeping? Is this part of the kernel code? Or is all this controlled in the actual android build? Apologies if this has already been asked, just wondering where to start looking code wise.

Guest ZTE_Blade Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Dear devs. Tell us if you have built necessary modules for CIFSManager for our Blades? I mean, cifs.ko, slow_work.ko, utf8_nls.ko (right?) - this is all I know about the names. Please, if you have this modules, would you share them with all. Oh, almost forgot! Is camera hackable? I mean: RAW photos, custom ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
