Froyo 2.2.2 port for Huawei U8120.
Maybe it will work on Huawei U8100/U8110 series, but for now it is focused on U8120.
So I dont know what behavior has on U8100 etc.
I must say a big thanks to Tom_G for his awesome work, especially for his froyo port on pulse.Without his work and his posts
on modaco forum, I will not be able to accomplish this.
kalt kaffe's 2.6.29 kernel.
Android 2.2.2 from aosp with some codeaurora changes.
JIT enabled.
Working:
RIL
Audio
GPS
Bluetooth
Wifi
SD card
Sensors
TSCalibration from codeaurora(still the app needs some improvements.For now use a stick or pen when you calibrate the screen)
Not working/bugs:
camera
broken layout on dialer
sdcard cannot be mounted in pc
Its still under development.This is not a finished rom and its not fully tested.
Probably it has problems that I have not yet encountered.So I would not suggest you to try it,
except if you have some experience and you want to help.
I have tried to make it as plain and simple as it gets.No google apps, no bootanimation etc.When all bugs are fixed then I will include them or I will post
my rom.But there are guys that are more expert in rom cooking than me.
Here is a zip with already compiled image files if someone wants to try it and post any bugs/fixes that have found.I have also uploaded here gapps if someone wants them(gmail,market etc)
Code: https://github.com/tas0s
Device tree: https://github.com/tas0s/android_device_huawei_u8120
Try it at your own risk.
Im not responsible for any damage that this may cause.
v.1 initial build
How to build it:
- Install git and gpg (gnupg).
- Download repo - http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html
$ mkdir android
$ cd android
$ repo init -u https://github.com/tas0s/platform_manifest.git
$ repo sync
- Extract necessary binaries
Some compiled code from the official eclair roms is re-used in froyo. Because some of this code is not opensources I cannot included in the git repository.
The files can be extracted from any u8120 eclair rom.
Place the rom zip in the android directory an rename it to u8120_update.zip
navigate to /device/huawei/u8120:
cd device/huawei/u8120
Then execute from the android directory
$sh device/huawei/u8120/unzip_files.sh
else you can extract them from a working u8120 phone with an eclair rom (check that adb is enabled)
$device/huawei/u8120/extract_files.sh
- Building the system
Once thats done you can start compiling.
Follow the aosp instructions on setting up the build environment. - http://source.android.com/source/download.html
After the environment is setup.
$ cd android
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch
Select the device u8120.
$ make
I recommend using multiple threads for make if you have a multi core/processor system. By default make will use
1 thread (-j1), set it to use 2*NumberOfCPUsAvailable (so on my dual core -j4). Reducing the number of threads used will reduce the impact on
system performance while the build is running.
The output will be image files in {buildroot}/out/target/product/u8120/. Flash with fastboot.
$ fastboot flash boot out/target/product/u8120/boot.img
$ fastboot flash system out/target/product/u8120/system.img
$ fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/u8120/userdata.img
$ fastboot reboot
For some reason the generated boot.img fails to boot.Maybe I have something wrong about kernel base etc in the BoardConfig.mk.
For now just use the ramdisk.img and the provided kernel and pack it with dsixda's kitchen or with the huawei-u8100 tools that have been posted on the forum.
Then just use fastboot as stated above.
for the future
thnx for the gifts up to it tomorrow
A question about camera problem, only video or all features?

The camera fails after a few secs.When an image appears in the preview window.
I have read that the the way that android handles camera has changed in froyo.In cyanogen they are using a libcamera2 (just libcamera with a few changes I think so it can work with the new framework).
As you can see in the BoardConfig.mk I have already include the libcamera2 statements but not the lib
When I manage to get some free time I would try the libcamera2.Maybe until the end of the week or sooner.

There's a little fix using bootbuilder for U8120, see this post:
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...l-r1-bootbuilder-for-pulsemini-alpha-release/
In the 6th reply you can find the info you could need it
Good luck!
Hi can you tell me on wich kernel it runs?
the 2.6.32 or2.6.29?
and if wiifi is completly fixed no crashes sleep works mac adress?
thanks

@Shiftok:
The calibration is integrated in the framework etc but it has some small issues.
As I say in the first post, it needs improvement.
@Cedric123:
Im using 2.6.29 kernel.The wifi works normally.If I remember right and MAC address.

The kernel Im using is kalt kaffe's kernel.So I think that if you just replace the kernel and the kernel modules in /system/lib/modules you will be fine.
Im uploading now a zip with the compiled images.
It has the problems I mention in the first post etc.
Just an observation.If the calibration isnt correct the screen is always on landscape mode Propably because it gets wrong screen dimensions.So if you see something like that, calibrate your screen with the TSCalibration app.
When im done with the camera, I will fix the calibration bugs.
Hi. Im testing your rom.
I cannot mount the sdcard on computer. when i press to activate usb storage it does nothing in computer.
EDIT - i cant install anything because i dont have a file explorer to see the sdcard files. can you please add one or make an .img with the stock apps

Thank you very much for the feedback joilaroi.I have updated the first post with the sdcard bug.I tried myself and you are right.I will try to fix it.
As I know the stock android froyo hasnt any file manager/explorer.Maybe we can get it from cyanogens.
For now, you can do this.Flash the gapps update that I have in the first post,setup market etc and download a file manager from the market(ex.astro file explorer).

EDIT - Cant install superuser and have permissions. it downloads su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip to sdcard but its corrupted. maybe its better if its already on .img
Im getting more MFLOPS with 633Mhz in this rom than with 691Mhz with the other kernel. its now with 4.45 MFLOPS vs 4.1MFLOPS. Nice
Do you know where i can find su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip?

Hi ,
I have a Haipad M701 with me,
It is having this config:
4G Memory
Telechips 89xx board
Android 2.1-update1
MID-1.1
Kernel 2.6.29
I am trying to make a external USB fingerprint reader work with it.
The fingerprint device driver source was obtained from the vendor.
To enable the device i need to cross compile the fingerprint drivers.
But before i cud do that, i upgraded the firmware to Android 2.3(gingerbread) which is available in haipad.net(*w/o taking a backup*)(that is kernel 2.6.35).
Now, i am not able to cross-compile driver cos i took the kernel source (for 2.6.29) which telechips publicly opened to public.
So, Right now, i need the old Eclair(2.1,2.6.29) firmware, can anyone provide me that?
If not, is there any other way to achieve the cross-compilation?
In the meantime, i downloaded kernel source from android.com and branched to 2.6.35 which is the kernel version on device.
I compile the kernel and then cross compiled the fingerprint driver.
It compiled w/o any issues.
But when do a 'insmod', i get error:
Code:
mod_usbdpfp: version magic '2.6.35.7+ mod_unload modversions ARMv5 ' should be '2.6.35.7-tcc mod_unload ARMv6 '
What could be the issue here?
You have two problems:
First on the tablet, copy the file /proc/config.gz out on your build pc.
Extract and copy file to .config in the 2.3.35.7 source.
Now you are ready to configure the kernel sources that you compile the vendor driver against.
do make menuconfig;
Fix problems:
1: wrong name of kernel.
Insert "-tcc" in general setup --> Local version.
You seem to have a "+" now. I do not know how you got that. If it is not in the kernel config, look in the Makefile in the root folder. The version is in the top. Make sure the 4th version line just says ".7" - no more.
2. Wrong system type.
You are compiling the modules for an Armv5 instead of Armv6. Go to Arm system type and choose Samsun S3C64XX. That is an Armv6.
The selector might look really strange. If that is the case, scroll to the bottom and scroll back up (now names appear one at a time), until you see the ()amsung S3C64XX.
Configure Makefile for crosscompile.
Now do a make dep; make modules.
Now you can compile the vendor driver against this source and get the correct module. Use modinfo modulename.ko; to see that the name and type corresponds to "'2.6.35.7-tcc mod_unload ARMv6".
I have just done this (for an usb net driver), and the resulting driver crashes the tablet So even if you can get a module build and loaded, it might not work because the system architecture (S3C64XX) is not really correct. In that case we really need the telechips 2.6.35.7 sources to build correct module.
But try it out, and good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion, xdamala.
I will try it out today itself and let you know
@xdamala,
I had to do 'make s3c6400_defconfig'
But, Now i get this error.
Code:
mod_usbdpfp: version magic '2.6.35.7-tcc-g67bb0cf-dirty mod_unload
ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.35.7-tcc mod_unload ARMv6 '
I dont know how the 'g67bb0cf-dirty' gets added.
Each time i edit 'include/config/kernel.release' which contained that text, it automatically is updated on running 'make'.
Any idea??
I am not 100% on how the version string is constructed. But I think it is created from the top 4 lines in Makefile and the string you set in configuration.
I should not be necessary to do that s3c6400_defconfig. It is probaly what changes the string. I might have told you the wrong order of things in my other answer. It is important to set up Makefile first.
Do the steps (in order):
Start with clean 2.6.35.7 kernel code
edit Makefile in kernel root folder
Check version number in top
edit cross compile section to:
ARCH ?= arm
CROSS_COMPILE ?= ../../arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
#or whatever fits your compiler. Note that this android tree gcc 4.4.3 is the one running M701 kernel is compiled with, so I prefer to use the same.
extract tablets /proc/config.gz to .config in root of kernel source (to remove unnecessary modules)
make menuconfig;
set -tcc in local version
choose S3C64XX system type
Exit (Save)
make dep ; make clean ; make modules; #Note you do not actually build the kernel, only modules.
In the Makefile from your driver there probably is a section something like this:
KDIR = /lib/modules/$(CURRENT)/build
edit to point to the folder of your kernel source.
make;
transfer fingerprintdriver.ko to tablet
Cross fingers, throw salt over your shoulder, pray, etc. etc.
insmod fingerprintdriver.ko;
@Xdamala
Code:
mod_usbdpfp: version magic '2.6.35.7-tcc+ mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.35.7-tcc mod_unload ARMv6 '
Still the plus seems to be issue.
I checked in the main Makefile there is no '+'.
But in include/generated/utsrelease.h, there is
Code:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.35.7-tcc+"
Well I use a kernel from kernel.org, not from the android tree.
Might be the reason for the "+".
I do not think that it makes any difference in this case.
Try with the kernel.org one. If it works it works, if not we might try to look at that "+"
By the way if all fails you can reinstall 2.1 on the tablet and build against the 2.6.29 kernel released by telechips. It should work.
The downside: 2.1 sucks, and usb in general sucks a lot on M701 2.1.
See my posts here:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/groups/11-haipad-m701-m701-r-d129-just-ordered-g10-haipad-m701.html.
In that case go to telechips kernel source:
make tcc8900_defconfig
make menuconfig. Exit + save.
make modules.
Then compile your driver against these sources.
Your driver should then work (this time we use the correct system type), but usb is quite bad on 2.1. So if I was you I would try a lot to make 2.3 work first.

Thanks xdamala, thats what i needed, will check it out and let you know of the result tomm.
I will warn you that 2.1 comes with its own problems when it comes to usb.
Attach the device directly. Do not use a hub.
xdamala,
Method 1: Compile kernel source of 2.6.35.7 from kernel.org - Success
insmod driver.ko installed w/o any errors.
But, it seems i would need a power source for the fingerprint reader.
i dont think currently the Haipad support that mode.
Method 2: Flash(downgrade) m701 to 2.1 and try with the public kernel source which telechips have released - Failure
The FWDN program gives CRC check error while loading tcc8900_mtd.img.
Maybe bcos of corrupt download or the Haipad i have is a 4G memory one.
Which u think wud be?
Even if i accomplish providing power to the fingerprint device, i would need the C++ sample provided by the fingerprint vendor to be cross-compiled.
Otherwise, how can i test if the device works?
How to do that??
Hi
I did not see your post because it now came as page 2.
The tablet should provide some level of power to the reader. If you use the white converter cable that came with the tablet, it should tell the tablet to provide power (USB On The Go, see Wikipedia). It works with memory sticks and even hard drives. But I do not know if it is enough for that reader.
With 2.3 firmware you could use a power hub to give power to reader (still use white converter cable between tablet and hub). Do not use hubs on 2.1.
To check if tablet recognizes reader do this:
adb shell:
#dmesg -c
#insmod driver.ko
#dmesg
--Insert reader in usb
#dmesg
The output of dmesg should tell you how the kernel reacts when driver is loaded and reader inserted.
You can cross compile c++ code using same compiler as for the kernel. But you will have to compile program/libs statically, since android does not have the C++ libraries.
You can probably achieve this by putting a static keyword in a Makefile.
Also you need to direct the gcc to point at the cross compiler.
An other approach is to install Debian on the tablet inside an file image. I have done this. It is very nice. It gives you a complete (non graphical) Linux system. Compiler, libs and all. Also lsusb and other useful tools.
It is much easier to make Linux programs work like that.
But this Debian will run inside chroot, and cannot see the android system.
I used this tutorial:
http://www.saurik.com/id/10
However I used a bit different approach for starting up Debian system (using Debian own rc scripts).
If you can make the Debian Image, I will be happy to provide you with my scripts to manage it.
I do not know why you cannot install 2.1. It was the one you got fro my URL?
I just see now that Haipad has released a brand new 2.3 this night.
Do not attempt to load it. Last one did not work unless you had the very new tablet. I will try this new one tonight.
What is this project with the fingerprint reader? Tell me more.
Thanks xdamala,
Ya if it is possible, i would surely like to have a Debian on the pad.
I am just exploring things on it, so that we can have a external device work on the pads.
Let me check this url and will let you know
http://www.saurik.com/id/10
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ya, if you can help through the process, i will gladly accept it
Also, i didnt get any cable with my pad.
That was the first of issues. Had to buy it separately.
I had done the dmesg check as you told, but it didnt give any noticeable output.
The 2.1 firmware link that you gave, throwed a CRC error. what to do?
if you get a crc error on firmware it is probably because its the wrong firmware.
There are several different versions of this tablet so it can be a bit tricky.
This firmware is for a M701-R 4GB HY
There is 2 GB and 4GB versions. You have a 4 GB right.
There is HY and non HY versions (type of nand memory).
There a re with and without remote control. That is not so important.
I think any mix of the above is possible.
How to figure out if you have a HY version:
Insert usb to pc and enable usb storage.
If nan memory is shown as 3,08 GB (I think) it is an HY.
If it shows less (2,7 GB Ithink) it is a non-HY.
Determine your version and we can see if we can find a FirmWare for it.
Anyway I think you should keep your 2.3 for now. It just is better for USB.
What is the filename of the rar file with 2.3 rom you installed, and where did you get it from? (this might help me identify your tablet).
About usb cable. I now understand why you have no power on reader. If you read the wikipedia article about USB OTG (wikipedia) you will understand that the tablet is in slave mode and will not provide power and probably not talk to devices.
Also see here: http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/1822
Can you get a memory stick to work?
You need something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Host-Cable-ARCHOS-Internet-Tablet/dp/B004TJC1IM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8.
It will short the correct pins in the mini usb plug, telling the tablet to be master and provide power.
It is possible to fix a cable yourself but I will not recommend it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COkLEJGo6vo&feature=youtu.be
I am a bit surprised that loading the driver produces no output in dmesg.
But if the tablet is not in host mode, it is not surprising that no output comes from inserting the reader. The tablet is not responding to it since it is in slave mode (like connection two usb sticks. Nothing happens).
I can not help you through the Debian. I used the tutorial I already linked.
If you do the same and add my scripts you should be able to make it work.
Alternatively you can get my Debian Image, but it is 1 GB file, and I need to clean out personal stuff and passwords.
Hi xdamala,
Ya, it seems to be a non-HY, cause i have around 1.4G space in nand
The file i downloaded was M701_2.3.rar, which i downloaded from haipad.net
I did buy the cable like u showed in amazon.com link, using that only am connecting the reader to pad.
And No, a memory stick also is not getting detected on that cable.
Attached that cable image.
Hi xdamala,
I have started creating the debian image, can you tell how you use the rc scripts?
Also, were you able to find the 2.1 image for M701 non-HY?
PS: I got the clockword mod recovery image from here http://androtab.info/telechips/firmwares
I used the one marked "Haipad M701 GB ROM 4K"
It worked for me.
Hi
Several things:
1: I think you have an 2GB version (non HY), not a 4G version.
2. It seems like the cable you bought is not correct. It has to be a HOST adapter/cable. Since nothing works with it I think what you have is just a male min-usb to female usb. It is not enough.
3. About Debian image. Which version of Debian are you using?
By the way I found out how to get rid of the "+" when using the Android kernel source. Move the folder .git to git. This will break git usage (unless you move it back). But it removes the "+" in version string.
Using Android kernel source might be better than stock kernel source.
Hi again,
1. Its a 2GB?? Oh but when i followed this link (translated it english)
Code:
http://www.inzipad.com/thread-334-1-1.html
My result was 4096, so i thought its a 4G one.
2. Oh. Then i will try to buy then one u have recommended.
3. I have dropped the step of building a Debian, cause i have a android application running and the input from the usb reader has to be sent to that application. So, I have to make it work natively on Android.

Thsi really works thanks for that
I recently got an ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for my Android device running CyanogenMod based on Android 5.1.1 and the 3.4.* kernel.
The drivers for the device are provided as source code and are available:
http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.14.2_SOURCE.tar.gz
ASIX represents that the drivers are "For Android 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x/5.x, Linux kernel 2.6.25 and later".
I attempted to compile the drivers using the CyanogenMod-included Terminal emulator App, but could not get anything to compile. It seemed that the "make" command or tool is not recognized.
I found a note in the drivers source readme file:
Code:
Prepare to build the driver, you need the Linux kernel sources installed on the
build machine, and make sure that the version of the running kernel must match
the installed kernel sources.
I found kernel sources on https://www.kernel.org/ . How do I make use of the kernel sources?
The version 3.4.* kernel is frequently updated. Should I be recompiling the driver with new, updated kernel sources every time a new kernel version is installed?
Must the drivers be compiled on the system they are to be used on?
Is there a better way to handle driver preparations or acquisitions?
Hi guys.
I have been working on a project to port NetHunter to Jiayu S3 (advanced for me , MT6752 platform) , working okay so far.
The rom contains two parts: Patched Kernel & NetHunter Files.
Kernel is modified and patched based on LoliTeam's project on Github.
mac80211 patched with script provided by Offensive-Security , HID manually patched regarding "Kernel-3.10-Nexus9.patch". Not exactly the same yet similar.
Additional Package of NetHunter is built under construction of [email protected]
Tested on
CM13 UNOFFICIAL for JIAYU S3a MT6752 (recommend)
AICP 6.0 UNOFFICIAL for JIAYU S3a MT6752
( Should work on JIAYU S3 basic too I guess. Never tried )
Progress:
OTG: Fix the 5V Power Supply for OTG so we can mount more than a USBdisk , like Mouse/Keyboard/JoyStick/WirelessAdapter , all avaliable now.
DuckHunter HID attack: working. Tho simple HID attack item didnt work , no idea why.
BadUSB MITM: RNDIS enabled. Capable to redirect the traffic of the computer you connected through your phone. (DHCPD on phone required, do it manually)
WiFi MITM: built-in wireless adapter does not support Monitor Mode so built-in Nethunter WiFi MITM does not work either. But we can do it manually , with a external USB via an OTG cable
Kali Chroot: Working
USBkeyboard(as HID device): Working
cSploit: Working
Shodan: Working
OpenVPN for Android: Working
VNC: Working
MSF: Working
RF Analyzer: Working
SDR softwares: Working
Not working:
aircrack-ng toolkit: seldom working. But can be replaced by manually command.
War Driving: not working normally , because aircrack-ng. Not planning a fix.
Router Keygen: Only support built-in adapter. Giving it up.
Problems:
Battery Power is consumed faster.
Easier to heat up.
I think they are bearable.
Installation Instructions:
To manually install , there is a long way to go.
Download ManuallyFlashImage.zip and unzip.
1. get a SP_FlashTool with a stock 5.1.1 RC5 firmware.
I have done most of the job.
Replace recovery.img with a TWRP one.
Modify scatter.txt to enlarge the partition of boot , recovery and system (I enlarged them * 2 , * 2, * 1.5)
You just need to select "download only" to "Format all and Download"
2.Get the roms ready in sdcard. I got [ cm13 , opengapps-mini , supersu , nethunter, xposed-framework ]
Vol-Up + Power
Vol-Up to select recovery and Vol-Down to confirm.
Wipe everything EXCEPT micro sdcard.

i like that otg feature where you can plug in more than one. i hope that can be implemented in nougat too.
first time i hear about this nethunter, is that some kinda like linuxdeploy? where you can launch a desktop distros?

OTG might be avaliable on nougat , too.
I havent seen the source code of 7.0 kernel so I cant say for sure but most likely there should be OTG configuration.
Nethunter is a professional security package for android where you can do penetration test.
check NetHunter
Simplely it can be seen as Kali Linux on android.
And yes , local VNC server is avaiable so you can access local chroot kali desktop. Seems like gnome2.
I'm missing something
So you used kernel repo, that is a clone from mad repo, yet where's the credits?
Call me a jackass but this is the exactly reason why there's no much development on this devices.
Ever since M.A.D. released their GPL (and more non-GPL repos like device &vendor trees)
People had been using ( and good) and making kernels & semi-compiled cm builds forgetting the ones that had the heavy work on making those trees & releasing repos to the public ( that was an huge headache )...
Well done
As the project itself , looks cool

I forked the kernel from LoliTeam where the project can be found no link between MAD.
I am not a historian but I checked the commits and decide that MAD should be the origin of the copy of kernel so the credit is added.
Can be used kali linux from framebuffer in this project ?
(Request) help
Using magisk we can install universal full kali net hunter on miui or any other custom android rom
Which works almost perfectly
But
to do advanced stuff like wifi related stuff we need a external adapter i already has a fully supported wifi adapter
But the problem is to use a external adapter through otg we need a kernel which support wireless adapter, adapter driver built in
(Like most of the official device oneplus nexus lg samsung has "Any kernel" its a kernel available for nexus devices fully supports nethunter has wifi adapter driver built in)
Even the net hunter detects the adapter (cheked using "lsusb" command, it shows apater name chipset) but we cant do anything on off nothing because of that kernel compablity
So is there any kernel has this type of functionility available for note 5 pro whyred
If answer is no
Then im requesting Devs to make or port one
Since there is both stock and nethunter kernel source available in internet
So it will be not that difficult to port
(even previous year note 4 note 3 has a ported kernel which fully functional with net hunter)
So why not for our star
So plz its an request
A rom for net hunter will be great but
A kernel which support wireless adapter and other functionality is enough
Thanks in advance

Android kernel is device-specific. You cant flash one kernel to another device.
This thread is for native Linux development on Galaxy A8/A8+. This means no Halium here. It's also aimed at people who know how to compile their stuff, ect., so don't complain to me about no fancy zip installer.
I have made some fixes in our DECON framebuffer driver, ect that makes TTY, and Xorg, and anything that uses the framebuffer work! (Based on @prashantp01's Quantum Quack kernel because that's what I had at the time and it's a good kernel).
I have tested this using Arch Linux ARM (ALARM), and it boots just fine!
A postmarketOS tree for the regular A8 is in the way of being merged, and I need someone to try the A8+ version.
Please provide a photo of the phone running PostmarketOS with weston on A8+!
Prebuilt zip for A8+ and A8 with postmarketOS weston (not really useful, but good for screenshot) here:
A8: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cVamhYGmBrDVrzzcIVyCmhLHJIQ3u3Xq/view?usp=sharing
A8+: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xe9rFu4TRzxmM9yV4lINOHOHsEQ2TD0O/view?usp=sharing
This may also be useful for other 7885 and 7885 based (7884 variants, 7904) devices as well!
What currently works on Arch (and probably on any other native linux distro):
Booting (Arch Linux sometimes hangs on "Triggering uevents" for a few minutes, sometimes boots instantly)
Screen (inc. brightness and turning on/off (due to a hacky workaround in kernel, the screen may show a corrupted screen for a split second when turning on)
Framebuffer console (TTY)
Xorg (unaccelerated)
Touchscreen
Hardware buttons
Battery indicator (detects some other stuff as batteries/charging ports too ATM)
USB OTG (Mouse, keyboard, ect)
(After adding some configs)USB SSH, and web access from PC using USB
Basically anything using Xorg (LightDM, Xfce, GNOME, KDE Plasma, Firefox, Chromium, GIMP, VLC, ect ect ect)
Anything that can use framebuffer (weston's framebuffer backend)
NOTE: This is a guide assumes you know how to do some stuff. For some help you can also reference this
Rough instructions for Arch Linux (Using prebuilt boot.img):
Partition your SD card (using PC or something) so that your second partition will contain your rootfs (the boot.imgs provided use the 2nd SD card partition as root! Change in defconfig if you are building your kernel.)
Install the generic version of ARMv8 Arch Linux ARM to the second partition of your SD card.
Install additional packages by chrooting from Android, or using USB networking
(For dual-boot) back up boot.img
Install the correct boot.img.
To boot back into Android, restore your boot.img

So one can boot Armbian on A8+ as we do with Android box? Where is dtb for this?

Yes you could probably boot it. The dtb is inside the boot.img
Try installing it to an sd card, chrooting into it from android, generating an initramfs, then replacing the initramfs in the boot.img with the one you generated. (Maybe it could even work without that, wiht arch's initramfs?)

Thanks.
postmarketOS tree on the way! Please someone send photo of A8+ running it! Info in first post!
this is absolutely amazing, thank you for the work
im very happy with gentoo linux on my phone haha

You got gentoo to boot? How did the drivers and compatability work out? I am asking this quite seriously as I do want to port it to my own device in the future.
Please update download links

well, it boots, tty works as expected with a phsyical keyboard lmao
the power button interestingly triggers a reboot, openrc & sysvinit goes through the "proper" shutdown process
i wasn't able to get much more than that working, unfortunately :c

I tried running it in a chroot, running gentoo on an 10 year old armhf cpu was hell in itself. The bigger problem was trying to update an old system. The closest anybody has gotten to gentoo mobile is sharkbait os, but that was just a chroot I think.
