Is someone making one. I see most of HTC devices already have it. If this q has been answered please close this
Porting PSFreedom to the Polaris would be awesome.... I have a polaris that can't read any sim which i can change to android and use for psfreedom...
Any change we will see a port ?
i'm also interested. has anyone tryed to see if it works ?
Hello
I tried but the problem "intro" in my console terminal not work and can not continue. I try work Enter. Any suggestion.
Thanks
it would be awsome.
hello everybody, i´m interesting too, so, please someone gives us a hand. If i discover something i will report it.
anybody tries to run Android from Windows and them the port to Android for PsGroove?
I try this weekend.
Thanks.
Hi all, I'm trying to do this port but....
if anyone can help me about this..
We can to divide this port in two sections: Kernel Source and psfreedom.
PSFreedom doesn't have any problem. I have the psfreedom module compiled success (previously modified).
The problem I think basically is the driver from the usb controller (from kernel). MSM72K
The module needs the msm72k driver to work. If I try to compile without any modification the compilation crashes.
I tried to get the driver from other sources and devices (nexus, desire, raphael). The compilation success but When I plug the usb cable to PC, Mac or any device (from the phone) the system crashes.
Sorry for my english. If anyone can help me... ;P

Yes...
I talked with Dzo and the problem is our device. The current USB Controller msm72k from psfreedom source is incompatible with our phone. I can't do more...
it would be very very interesting
we must find someone capable of changing the usb driver

Hello everybody!
I need an advice on where to get drivers (or what kernel options to use) for my phone (Motorola Quench XT3) build on Qualcomm MSM7227 chpset.
It would be cool to be able to compile new version of Android from source, like gentoo or LFS; we wouldn't depend on Motorola's software updates. The only thing that seems missing is drivers and kernel configuration. (May be I am wrong - correct me)
So how do I find out what drivers/kernel options to use for my hardware?
Any help is appreciated. I would make an understandable guide for compiling Android for Motorola Quench XT3 if I succeed.
Upd:: Motorola Quench XT3 is a "Boston Orange" phone. Look for mods on cyanogenmod forum, in the z71 variants section.
Therein lies the problem.
Linux drivers for phone chipsets (mostly Qualcomm) are often provided as binary lumps for a specific kernel version. When kernel sources are made available for a specific phone then we can generally compile a full AOSP build by making sure that the kernel we build is compatible with the binary blobs, this get more difficult as the framework gets upgraded and depends on features of newer kernels.
So the things to look for are:
What version of Andriod does it run, what do you want to run?
Have Moto released kernel sources yet?
What are the GPU/Radio/BT/Wifi/Audio chipsets
Do we have binder-friendly driver source available for any of the above.
This is all _hard_ stuff and generally if you've never compiled a Linux kernel before this is not the place to start.

This is OK as long as binary drivers are available for new kernels, I guess.

It has Android 1.6, and my goal is 2.2.

yes, they have sources available for download. I downloaded, but couldn't figure out what ".config" they use, in the bundled script "Android.mk" that depends on external variable KERNEL_DEFCONFIG.

Ok, I am trying to find that out. Couldn't find specs in the net (including Motorola website), they only give processor (Qualcomm MSM7227) Is there a command like lspci on Android?

What is the place to start then? Actually I've configured and compiled kernels for several desktops/laptops, they are fine. I am not any kind of expert, but may be it isn't too difficult to build a working 2.2 Android. There's almost no hope to get it from Motorola. Also I don't care about Motorola-specific software.
Overall, thank you for a good & quick response. I will try to figure out exactly what hardware it uses, and post it here.
P.S.: what else people do to upgrade their phones when it isn't supported by manufacturer?
It's MSM7227 !!!
Hello people!
After a lot of reading I start to understand concepts. Turns out, my phone has a good and popular chipset Qualcomm MSM7227. The same chipset is used in, say, HTC Aria and HTC Legend, which are well supported by cyanogen mod. And looks like chipset determines all major drivers I need! (probably except minor things like flash light)
So, I need help of somebody who knows these things better than me in the following questions:
What could be a difference in firmware between (say) HTC Legend and Motorola Quench XT3, which share the same chipset?
Is there a "generic" build for MSM7227?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately that is rarely the whole of it. Slight differences in implementation can make all the difference. E.G. the radio itself has a firmware that may fundamentally change the interface presented to the CPU. Sound/Display/3D are also up in the air.
Short version, if you can find out the chipset driving each of the above (not just the CPU/Radio SOC) and you can either find:
1. 2.2 binary blobs from another phone
2. Open source drivers that can be compiled for the 2.2 kernel
Then you may be ok.
The reason I said that this may not be the place to start is that what you are trying to do here is get binary blob drivers running for a kernel they were not intended to run with, debugging that is some heavy magic on a desktop, even more so on an embedded device.
I also have the same phone and i was looking for a froyo mod.
I would be willing to test it out (i have the same phone ).
I should warn you though i have no mobile phone hacking experience!
SilentMobius, thank you much for good explanations!!
I googled more, and I have strong suspicion that Motorola Quench XT3 is the same as "Orange Boston" phone. That piece of hardware has been manufactured by many companies under many names (GigaByte G1305 Codfish, Apanda A60, WellcoM A88, Vibo A688, Cincinnati Bell Blaze f800, Commtiva Z71, Muchtel A1, Chinavision Excalibur, Motorola Greco, Nexian A890).
Though I am not sure that orange boston hacks would apply to Quench XT3. Is there a way to check their compatability (in hardware, radio firmware, etc) ?
Cyanogenmod
Turns out we are lucky - Quench XT3 is a part of "Boston Orange", and it runs cyanogenmod. This is very nice, and there is no need to make rom from scratch. Moreover, everything I was thinking of is already done for this phone.
Look on cyanogenmod forums in z71 variants section for mods and other information.
Thanks a lot
Uh, could anyone help me?
I rooted the phone with Universal AndRoot but when i click on z41 on rom manager it gets an error.
Help?

In ROM Manager the phone is known as an Commitiva A71. You are selecting the wrong phone.
hi all, i own a mk808b running finless 1.6a
I'm trying to use an ethernet adapter w/ chipset mcs7832 which is the late model of mcs7830.
I've found a driver that comes from a 8 years old "c" file and it doesn't run my mcs7832.
Now i've found the latest source code for this driver but i need someone to tell me how to compile this or compile it for me. (I 'd like to learn but i know you don't all have the time to play teacher)
here is the file
docs.google.com/file/d/0B5BbKwRj8UvHV3NHczdtOFhteTg/edit?usp=sharing
ok so I got a lot of help here getting this compiled from this site, this is where I'm at.
I have this: BobjGear USB 3.0 SuperSpeed to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (on amazon)
and it has linux driver source I got from the manufacturer, but running into "version magic" problems starting with the "usbnet" driver in the official source (the driver requires this, plus its a good "test" to see if I can compile these things).
I have the NDK toolchain stuff and ran it against the git depository "linux-sunxi" (sorry can't post links yet )
It seems I'm missing the SMP support for this thing, and I'm not completely sure how to add that in
This is the dmesg on the successful compile: usbnet: version magic '3.0.8+ preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '3.0.8+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' '
Seems I'm close, just need SMP support to be loaded in. Any help would be appreciated. This is the command I ran to compile against this kernel:
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/Downloads/android/android-ndk-r8d/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- -C ~/Downloads/android/linux-sunxi/ -j4 modules
Someone has to know how to get this done lol, doesn't SEEM like it's hard and I've been poking around in menuconfig for some way to find this and it seems the git repository for linux-sunxi doesn't have SMP listed in it's kernel config, I've used both that and lichee-3.0.8-sun4i branches linux-sunxi 3.0 recommended branch to try to compile these modules (usbnet and ax88179_178a).
Again, this is a MK802IIIS with a usb ax88179 chipset gigabit ethernet adapter. The modules compile a-ok, but there is a version magic problem and I do believe it has to do with the lack of SMP support that seems to be nowhere to be found in this kernel source.
ax88179
hello, I wanna ask if somebody can help me to compile this Linux driver ax88179 for ainol novo7 venus 4.1.1 android version,3.4.0+
AX88179 simple method for installing on many device?

Thanks in advance
any news on this??
desperately trying to find kernel for mk802iiis which supporty ax88179!!
any help appreciated!
thank you very much!
lord boeffla might help you guys
Still no compiled drivers for this chipset?
I have this USB adapter and would like to use it.
Anyone have the compiled Android drivers?

I haven't worked on it since just getting a more compatible USB 10/100 mbit network adapter. It was really *****y and kind of a shame since would it would've been nice to take advantage of some gigabit speeds in my house. Maybe I'll pick it up again and try it for the heck of it. I think there might be more required kernel support for this thing to work that I simply didn't put together. If anyone has progress on this, it seems a lot of us have this adapter sitting around, there really needs to be some android driver builds.
Same here
I just picked up a Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 along with an Aluratek ether net adapter/USB hub. Tried to download the driver directly from manufacturer, but it will not install. I know literally nothing about compiling drivers. Any and all help would REALLY be appreciated!
Hi there, I'm SDR (software Defined Radio) amateur, and I'm looking to connect a USB rtl-sdr Dongle to my GT-i9003, I did a search around our forum zone and I see just a "few old" stuff about OTG and our device, some one knows if we can use it with 3.0.101 kernel? so are the modules runing?, someone did a test?.
I'm thinking build a custom kernel for that with this extra modules but I'm not a programer and I dont know fix kernel/modules issues, maybe some advanced developer knows about that or can try?.
Without more, Bye and thanks in anyway.
Best regards:fingers-crossed:.
I'm not running CM11, but with my Dhiru's 10.1 (3.0.8 kernel) I Tried to connect an USB keyboard, but no results.
crDroid(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544686) said it support otg
but i havn't try it
I dunno what thread i should be putting this but here goes...
Is there anyone out here that can compile a kernel module with eeprom_93cx6, mac80211, rtl8187 and ath9k that i can flash update on my flare4 device? ( android lollipop 5.1, kernel v.3.10.65 ) I will be using those kernel module to use in kali linux and also make it work in Reaver. because the built in wifi device is not supported and i will need to use a external usb wifi adapter.
I know there's a ton of tutorials on how to compile a kernel module but i am always stuck at something and i can't make it work
If you guys can make a compiled kernel module mentioned above in which i can flash in my phone pls lemme know, i will be truly grateful.
