Guest targetbsp Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Is the wifi integrated into the kernel different from the wifi changes in the most recent nightlies. Or is that comment reflecting the change in the nightlies in bringing the experimental kernel up to date? I'm just wondering if the wifi in this differs then there's always the chance this fixes the problem of the phone not sleeping when wifi is on. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bhf Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wifi isn't working for me at all. When I try to activate it, it says only Error. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest t0mm13b Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 i only want the fm radio, what i do? Uhhhh... did you not read the first post - to recap - fmradio support within the framework of android cm7 has been dropped... don't ask me why... the driver is there and confirmed to load... As for the wifi, this could be down to the wireless settings looking for ath0/wlan0 ... need to check.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter0118 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Now I understand, with this kernel i can use the fmradio. Is this kernel works with nightly 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fonix232 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 For the FM radio, problem is that both Andorko's and the ZTE one relies on the modified ZTE framework, what includes some more functions to control the FM receiver. Some of them must be excluded or rewritten inside the app (like setVolum or getVolum) and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest c0ld Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks for all the work t0mm13b. I've installed the zip via clockworkmod onto RC2 but as you have previously mentioned the wifi will not switch on. I take it there is no work-around for this via settings on the handset? Do you think this is something you will be able to overcome in the future? Thanks again for all your hard work :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FelixL Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Hey, thanks for including USB OTG! I will have a test...now :D Will report back in 10 minutes (hopefully). Is there any magic needed other than flashing your update.zip? Edit: I used an USB-OTG-cable and a y-cable to get the thing powered, but I couldn't find any hint that my USB-storage was mounted. Any info where I should search? What other things should be possible, a keyboard? Edit: Do I need some insmod, maybe?

Guest FelixL Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Had some more problems with your kernel on Nightly 19, no Wifi and sometimes the screen won't wake up properly. Going to N31 now, if you have an advice on how to get USB working, please tell me and I will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am awaiting a fresh release and re-sync with github and compile with usb host patches... :D Nightly 28 has been no problem for me... anyway... just thought I'd mention it... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Buzing Bee has updated the Advent Vega kernel to 2.6.32.35 and included the latest ar6000 module. would it be worth patching the existing kernel for the blade to this as well, github is here https://github.com/BuzzBumbleBee/android_kernel_advent_vega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FelixL Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nightly 28 has been no problem for me... anyway... just thought I'd mention it... :D I hoped the N19 is the problem and tried N31 with a full wipe. No Wifi again, didn't try USB-host. I don't want help or want to bother you, just thought i'd report back and will wait for the next release.

I did recall that TomG created an update script for nightly31 to revert back to the original wifi module.... it was mentioned on irc channel today... have a dig around...

Guest FelixL Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Should I have another try with RC4 or are you planning to release a new kernel or to merge it into the official?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest t0mm13b Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I get wifi status of error with this kernel on CM7 RC3 dmesg & locgat output attached (I hope) Have you tried flashing the original module in the zip file listed elsewhere - the zip filename is called cm7_ar6000_signed?

Doing so now. Done so now. Same result. If I have time I'll try a full wipe and redo all this from scratch.

Guest FelixL Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Did a full wipe, formatted system, installed RC4+ GApps and your kernel directly on top, then did first boot. No Wifi, USB OTG didn't seem to work. But as long as only one person is testing there is a good chance it was human failure :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JayGB1982 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Does this Kernel have any benefits over stock CM7 RC4? I used this previously on N18 i think, It fixed the proximity then... Just wondering if I should use this Kernel on top of RC4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonckenyon Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 do you mind giving details of how and perhaps more importantly what you built? i would like to build the kernel myself in order to get the radio to work. of particular interest is what kernel source you used and where can i get it? there are so many different versions on github i am a tad confused. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
