[kernel][32a][radio 6.35]donut/ECLAIR and CAMERA WORKING(HTC driver)

KERNEL 2.6.29 for 32A RADIO 6.35.* and SPL 1.76.2007. just make-things-running kernels. the sources are from msm-kernel-2.6.29 which are provided by google, and I modified them to work with new radio and spl.
working: most things, but didn't test much.
gps
wlan
bluetooth
sensor
lights
camera
recording will not work in 2.x ROM
test them yourself, and tell me if something don't work. (for gps, maybe you should push the correct libgps.so into the phone before first boot, i am not familiar with these)
for android 1.6 which are made for DREAM/32B/old Radio, use the kernel in test-donut.img
if you want use a 2.x ROM for old radio and keep it with the NCommander's work, you can try this one too, but i didn't try it myself.
FOR GPS in donut:
it can work (or work partially) with some of donut ROMs, and not with some others. which I had tried is rav-donut, with some lib replacements. I can not remember the details.
please try it yourself. for more detail (but not all), you can read some replies below. with some ROM, you can turn off your wifi, reboot, and test the gps again (and watch your logcat). if works, it may give you some thoughts .
if you find (not just a guess) there are something wrong with the kernel side and you can provide some details, plz tell me. I will look into it and if it is and fix it before I post my sources.
(to my knowledge, if the gps issues is caused by the kernel side, it means that the issues can not be fixed by some tweaks)
most of my works need more programming skills, they are not some config tweaks and compiling jobs. and they are not prepared well for further tweaks too.
so if I post my sources now, there will be more chaos when everyone introduce their tweaks.(if you are a programmer you should understand what i say) that's one of the reasons I decided that I will post my sources later but not now.
for android 2.x ROM running on HERO device, use the kernel in test-NOCDB.img, remember replace akmd for sapp sensor, etc.
they are just boot.img files in zips, NOT update.zip or some update package you can apply them from recovery.
test-donut.img.zip contains boot.img which is needed by donut.
i test it with rav-donut-1.6 ROM, so the boot.img in test-donut.img.zip includes ramdisk from rav-dount-1.6. you can find the ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
test-NOCDB.img.zip contains boot.img which is needed by eclair/any 2.1 rom for HERO device.
i test it with jnwhiteh r6, so the boot.img in test-NOCDB.img.zip includes ramdisk from jnwhiteh r6. you can find the ROM here:
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1528
the "driver" of camera in this ROM is from the leaked HTC HERO2.1, though it is buggy too .
(btw, the "driver" everybody called is a user-space interface provider, which is same important as the real driver.)
flash the ROM (now you have a phone can not boot), then flash the boot.img through fastboot (can boot up now), or you can create and sign your update.zip and flash it from recovery.
wlan.ko is uploaded too, push it into /system/lib/modules for wireless lan.
if you know what sapphire-keypad files are , and you want fix the can-not-load-xxxx problem in any ROM(this problem not only appears at the ROMs above), push them into /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars.
these two kernel can be use with any 1.6/2.x ROM, you should extract them from boot.img (use the famous split-bootimg.pl), and mkbootimg (from android tools) with proper ramdisk.
thanks: RA, jnwhiteh, and all other guys.
update:
ouch i am too tired, i forgot the most important person i must thanks to: cursordroid . without his work, i won't upgrade to new radio and do these things...
and if you want to upgrade your radio, follow his instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
next:
these kernels are in a very early stage of development, if there are enough people who want use new radio with new android version, I will continue to improve them.
1. make it running better and fix bugs.
2. refactor android parts in kernel source, HTC/Qualcomm/Google did a dirty job, and I want to clean some most dirty things.
3. tell me what you want (for example: what cyanogen mod have) and I will do the most important and wanted things.
4. if there are no hero guys do same thing, I will port it to hero device for a preliminary experiment.
my main goal is make a android-specified kernel which can be ported to any HTC android phone easily and can be tweaked and compiled for working with different android version.
but first, i need some testers . not with you, I can not go farther.
and, sorry for my poor english.
p.s. if someone can make update.zip for other users, you have my appreciate. i am too tired to do more things...
go to bed now

How did you modify the sources? I would be very interested to know.

This would basically mean that the hardware limitations are overcome and we could use any true HERO ROM by using above kernel. Is this correct?

since we couldn't patch or copy-paste htc-hero-2.6.27 to msm-kernel-2.6.29 directly, the first thing is understanding what htc does and what are the differents between new Radio and the old one and between different devices.
then we can modify source of msm-kernel-2.6.29 manually, to let it working with our hardware/radio by ourself. I will upload my sources when some jobs are done.
some thing i forgot to mention: some HTC functions(most are USB related) are not added (they have lower PRI on the list). so if you test a SenseUI ROM, it may not run properly at current.

mostly.
linux is a modern system, most devices can install it, and our phone is not so different with PC (or other devices) now. there are hardware limitations just because Google/HTC/Qualcomm let them there.
now, for HERO ROM, the USB (just for HTC functions) related jobs i mentioned above is not done yet. and you may need do some cooking job (like build.prop/default.prop etc) with some certain ROM. i am not familiar with cooking skills, i just do a little changes in ROM and ramdisk.
with help from good cookers, we can combination any ROM with a kernel which are running properly and tweaked for some special functions. with a reorganization of the kernel source, the tweaks can be done easily in the future, as install a driver on our XP, or just a little bit harder than that.

Thank you for all of your hard work on this effort.
As soon as you are ready, can you please post your kernel source at github, so we can all play with it?
Thank you!

i think that this is pretty sick stuff i would definitely appreciate it if you continued developing

i think it a good idea 2 develop this project.i will have a wonderful value.

Hey, im a bit confused...so u essentially got cam workin on eclair ? did u use ncommanders work or no ? also does gpu drivers work for eclair ?
Thanks

I prefer the new radio ,appreciate what you guys did.

All CursorSense and Cursordroid fans will be more than thrilled, if you continue to develop your new kernel. Keep up the good work.

This is great news!
Now we can use the latest 32A radio & SPL to run the latest roms!
Please keep this project alive.
edit: I read the OP again slowly and found the answers myself ;-)

There are a lot of CursorSense users (IMO the best rom so far) which would really love this project to be developed. Keep up the good work!

i didn't use his work. i modified the kernel source (it's not just for the camera), make two versions:
one for donut, can work with .so lib in ION ROM.
another for eclair or later, can work with .so lib in leaked official HERO2.1.
so that's why there are two kernels here.
but these .so lib of camera functions have some bugs as they run on hero device. when the final version of Hero 2.0 have released, the bugs can be fixed easily.

}
as you can see, the .so libs include "CameraHardwareInterface" and "Proprietary Camera Libraries" in this image (from google).
the "CameraHardwareInterface" is opensource somewhere, but leaked some important defination to compile it. and NCommander have fixed this problem.
but the "Proprietary Camera Libraries", including libqcamera.so in 1.6 or liboemcamera.so in 2.x, are not opensource. I think NCommander load the libqcamera.so from the 1.x ROM, let it work with 2.x ROMs (which are for Dream/old Radios).
the old libqcamera.so can not be used with our new Radio and Hero's very well. so I have no reason to use his work, but use the files from HERO 2.1 instead.
I will take a look at his work.with our own implementation of "CameraHardwareInterface" (NCommander's work), if I can get more understanding about the behaviors of libqcamera.so from HTC/Qualcomm, I will try make a libqcamera.so/liboemcamera.so myself. then we can drop all properietary things on camera part. but this work will take a long time, and it is not my goal, because it is not kernel things I care about.
for the gpu "driver", I think you mean some .so libs too. I don't know if we need some more .so lib to work with eclair, or something are lacked to have the hardware accel. I think if the HERO 2.1 ROM we have got is with those lib, then we don't need more.
I have not time to look at this yet. try different 2.x ROMs, run the Qaulcomm 3D Demo, play video of different formats, and post the results.
i don't think I can undertake so many things , but with enough infomation everyone providing, maybe we will have the right people to do each of them. and if I have some idea, I will post it here or do it myself.

[ROM][WIP] United ICS

This is ice cream sandwich for the Dream/Sapphire. Yes, you read that right. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. We currently have cm9 and AOKP mostly working. AOSP is next
What works:
It boots
Touchscreen
Wifi
Mobile data
Audio
sdcard
Bluetooth (maybe. It turns on. I don't have devices to test with)
What doesn't:
Camera
Hardware acceleration
probably everything else, tell us
info:
Android 4.0.4

flashing instructions:
you need to use custom mtd. I used 140 for /system and 20 for /cache (rom currently requires a /cache partitoin. will be fixed in a later update)
1. download all needed files and place them on your sdcard. mtdpartmap.txt needs to be at the root of it
2. flash recovery patch.
3. wipe system, data, and cache
4. reboot into recovery.
5. flash rom and kernel
6. Flash gapps if desired
7. flash boot patch
8. reboot into rom
9. wait.
10. enjoy the awesome
To use data, you need to put in your apn settings. Google to find these.
Thanks to:
Google - android
CyanogenMod team - the awesome rom
Aokp team - aokp
Ezterry and AndDiSa - kernel for ics
Infinimint and the united dev team - hosting and support
My girlfriend - for loving me even though I worked almost all day on this.

Sorry for the blurry pics. Used my other phone running cm9 with a partially working cam
Roadmap:
Slim down (in progress)
Mess with hw acceleration and camera (maybe never) - this will be alpha3/beta1 if it happens
Port AOSP
Changelog:
Alpha2.2: update to latest code. good cm9 release.
Alpha2.1: not released
Alpha2: fixed audio
Alpha1.1: small fixes (keyboard, other stuff) cm9 only bugfix release
Alpha1: fixed wifi, sdcard, and home button (skiped in aokp)
Alpha0: initial public release.
If you want to build yourself (please do, we need more people fixing stuff), the repo init command will look like this:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/UnitedDev/android.git -b ics
Note: rules on using this rom for other projects
Most of android is under the apache2 license. just don't violate that and we're good.
more specific rules: source is on my github, do whatever you want within the terms of the licences. make your own rom, use it to port other devices, release a rom that is exactly the same with a new name and a shiny theme, I don't care as long as you are building from source.
If you use prebuilt anything from releases of this rom, please be nice and send me a pm asking for permission. this is supposed to be an open community, but i hate seeing 20+ cm7 roms with nothing different except name and bundled apps. If you don't ask, and you havent made something different enough from this rom to be worth having its own thread, it may or may not get reported.

First

cm9 ! i will use now !
thanks !

If you look at them carefully, you can see the box thos was built on. And you can see my girlfriend's leg

Tvall....amazing ---- cm9 on the dream! Don't care if this isn't fully working I'm super impressed to see another ics rom for the g1. Who would have thought! Keep it up! Will download when I get to a computer

Can anyone confirm the status of wifi and data? I'd test wifi, but I can't find my girlfriend's phone and she is asleep...

I don't want to put water into the wine, but ... The status of the ROM is more or less in the same state as I had my ICS some month ago. (@Tvall: you should have a look at my repo, if you didn't do that already.) Wifi / Bluetooth should work without problems, at least at that time I had it working. The biggest problem (and the most important reason why I suspended the wok on it): to low memory on the G1. Startup of services from time to time failed even without any additionals apps installed.
Probably on the MyTouch it will run better, but I do not expect, that it will run decently on the G1, but I might be wrong ...

It runs decently (apps dont close much) on my mytouch, which is why I'm working on it. My plan is to get cm9 stable enough, then work on an aosp rom. That should be a little lighter.

Has anybody gotten this to run on a g1 yet. I managed to install, but it went crazy. I started doing a force close loop. By that i mean that it booted started then said trebuche has stopped working. I press ok then com.android.phone stopped working. i press ok then trebuche has stopped ... and so on. I followed the install to the letter a few times but i couldn't get it to run.

Nice work! Have you tried the EGL files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526920 ? Hero has same gpu (adreno 130) as dream/sapphire so it *should* work Not sure about kernel however

Not yet, thanks for the link! If that works, I'll release another alpha as soon as I fix the home button..

I have a mytouch 3g 1.2. It has more ram. So... if it works for me it might or might not work on a regular 32b device

Oh my...now this is impressive. I'm really interested how this turns out. Best of luck!

I told you not to get me in that picture...
I can't wait to do more testing. (My boyfriend is amazing! He's currently working on getting the wifi to work)

Some cool bootanimations just for you guys the easiest way to install this is to use Root Explorer. Download the file and rename to bootanimation.zip. Copy the file and navigate to system/media change the permissions to R/W (read/write) by clicking the button in the top right. Rename the existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. Then paste the file in this directory. Change permission back to R/O (read only). Reboot and enjoy the show.

Nothing is complicated is just that you must read and read to learn and being a pro:victory:
I WANT "X" GUIDE FOR DEVELOP "X" STUFF FOR THE PHONE
Of course I will update this thread each time you want any guide you only have to write a comment and I will use my magic crystal ball ....GOOGLE:laugh:
MAN I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR YOUR AWESOME THREAD WILL YOU MERRY ME?
Ahh NOOO! with just saying thanks you just make my day better
CAN I DONATED YOU?
No=I'm just 13 years old an I live on Venezuela and more important I don't have credit card LOL
DOES THIS WORKS FOR OTHER DEVICES?
Of course yes but only the bootanimations (check if your device is HDPI),the NOT galaxy s 4g guides threads and the build.pro
TEST MY KERNEL OR TEST MY ROM
No I will help you with logcats but no testing your roms or kernels (I don't want an expensive paperweight.. and being grounded)
CAN I TROLL YOU?
NO!!!!!!!
WHERE'S THE THANKS BOTTOM I CAN FIND IT?
This question doesn't deserve a respectful answer
HAA YOU BRICKED MY PHONE YOU [email protected]&*@
Has the op says be careful with your messing up THATS WY I LEAVE YOU THE UN-BRICKEABLE MOD FOR ONLY HARD BRICKS
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!!:good:

PICS PERSONALLY TAKEN BY ME OF EVERY ROM
YOU TELL ME....

Thanks! I like how the first link is interactive, and showing you how to code little by little. I'll have to check these out more in detail sometime. Should be very helpful for people wanting to get their feet wet in doing their own development.
The 2 other links you posted have an extra "http://" at the beginning which gives an invalid link. I took one of them out and got to the right page, but wanted to let you know so you can edit the OP.
I would say if anyone else has any other helpful links, post them up!

Links now working sorry about that!! ( I didnt checked before because i was studing for the final exams )

thread updated with more fun:victory::victory::victory:

Solrac, it might be better if you would concentrate your efforts on updating our wiki since some information has already been repeated a few times, particularly the roms list. If you wind up putting them in the wiki then other users can edit it once you decide to not update this thread. I've seen it happen to at least two other threads already which is why team acid have moved some of our instructions to the wiki.

I agree with fb most people *we hope* would read the wiki and find all this awesome info
and if you do update the wiki update the way java6 is installed because unless i did it wrong i could get it working with this:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Looks like the package isn't in the archive anymore. I had to do this to install java6 jdk.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository [B]ppa:ferramroberto/java[/B]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

bootloader graphic is the second animation but if you are scared dont change that animation and the bootanimation you dont have to worry you only have to check if the bootanimation is HDPI

[GUIDE] How to Build CM11 for the HTC One M8 (082714)

How to Build CM11​
for the HTC One M8
by bracketslash​
Requirements:
Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) up and running. Minimum specs: 150GB Hard Drive, 4GB RAM, 2.5GHz processor
Patience
(Actual build requirements: http://source.android.com/source/building.html)
Installing the Necessities:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre phablet-tools pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
Setting Up our Work Directory:
Code:
mkdir -p /home/<USER>/android/system
Getting Started
Code:
cd /home/<USER>/android/system
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "your name"
repo sync
Now, wait a day. It'll take a long time.
Once it's done, we need to add TheMuppets' proprietaries:
Code:
mkdir /home/<USER>/android/system/.repo/local_manifests
Create and edit /home/<USER>/android/system/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Put this inside it:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="git://github.com/TheMuppets/" name="muppeteer"/>
<project name="proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="muppeteer" />
</manifest>
Now, run repo sync again
Code:
repo sync
This will run much faster...It doesn't have to download anything this time EXCEPT for the proprietaries we told it to catch.
Once that is done, we continue with the build:
Code:
cd /home/<USER>/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd /home/<USER>/android/system
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 75G
export USE_CCACHE=1
source build/envsetup.sh && time brunch m8
Now, just wait. When it is finished, the zip will be in /home/<USER>/android/system/out/target/product/m8/ in the form of cm-11-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-m8.zip and cm-11-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-m8.zip.md5sum
The md5sum is what you give to people so they know they're in good shape with the right file before flashing.

Built my first CM based ROM!
Thanks again for the tutorial!
One step you may want to include is downloading repo command and adding it to path after you download build essentials.
And I am not sure on this but I run Oracle Java so you may want to put a reference to having Oracle java preloaded.
EDIT: Ooops, no sounds. Was there a vendor step missed?

No sound definitely wasn't something that I had to deal with! I'm not sure on that one.
Also, I have installation instructions listed to install openjdk so that is what can be used to install it.
Additionally, I don't think that I ever installed repo manually. I ran `which repo` and it showed up in /usr/bin/ and I definitely never put it there myself!
Edit: However, if anyone does have issues with repo, Google's official instructions are here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

That could be...I guess there could be an issue somewhere along the m8 nightlies that caused the issue as I only do dirty flashes. If it's a huge widespread change, maybe I could be missing it? Food for thought. Let me know what you find, regardless! :cyclops:

I was set up for AOSP by the book. It required a different set of build tools and java. And you are correct, Repo was there when I installed your build tools.
Looks like the Google AOSP maintainers and writers could take note of how you have this set up :good:

Glad to hear that we found a consistent way of doing it!! Downloading the repo executable seemed like an unnecessary step, so it being automagically included with the build tools as instructed seems pretty convenient...The way I see it, the more people building, the more the opportunity for someone great to rise to fame with an awesome ROM.

@scrosler looks like cm committed something that broke audio in the 8/29 nightly so you probably had it synced correctly the 1st time. To fix the no audio for now you can flash project era.

Well...it's sort of like a win, then! A broken build is only a bad build if you caused the problem...so, good build!

Thanks guys.
Now here is a legit question...
How can I revert back to a specific nightly build.
With AOSP I specify a version, not a date in my manifest info.
What would be the key to doing that in CM11? How can I specify a specifc date to revert my local repo too?

As far as AOSP..
CM specific pre-builts aside, the build tools are also perfect for pure AOSP.
You just need to run Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK :good:

Awesome bro that's sounds great. Send away. I will help any way I can. Bug reports, tests, you got it. My initial goal was to compile a kernel for my note 4 on the device itself but i havent been able to find a single guide or even a reference to someone doing it. A lot about compiling apps but none about compiling a kernel from source. I have a pc with manjaro and all the build tools but I can't carry that around with me all day and i know the note 4 has enough power to do it. If I knew enough and could build apps I would build one like a mobile android studio. Pick your source code, pick your toolchain, automatic detection of makefiles and such, built in make menuconfig, hit compile then boom....easy peasy.....here's your kernel sir. Haha. I know that would make things way too easy but what I don't get is with all the kernel developers, why nobody has made a kernel specific IDE..... just for compiling and modifying the android kernel......but anyway, damn got way off track there....shoot me the builds bro. And let me know what you need from me. Thanks

Awesome bro that's sounds great. Send away. I will help any way I can. Bug reports, tests, you got it. My initial goal was to compile a kernel for my note 4 on the device itself but i havent been able to find a single guide or even a reference to someone doing it. A lot about compiling apps but none about compiling a kernel from source.

Ok bro I'll send you the latest nightly build in about 1 hour. It has a new design (very simple but has error output). It downloads the GCC from my GitHub and then extracting it to /data/local/GCC. It creates links to /system/bin as well so you can test it out via terminal. It is a debug version so you can see logcat from it. One error I got (for now) is that it cannot unzip the GCC zip to /data in cause of permission errors but for somehow it copies. So that would be a starting point. And about your idea to create an IDE for Android and so on, GREAT that would be the goal for me. Cya later. Btw did you have Skype? Would be faster to talk to each other.

Thanks bro. Im excited as hell. No skype. I can probably get it. I do have telegram which I use and alot...mostly cuz it's so quick like sms. And quick is probably better because I would be grateful for your knowledge at times. I'm still learning...but only way for most to learn is by help from others with more skills and knowledge such as yourself. Do you build roms and kernels?

That there was an error while unzipping :victory:
Ok if you are on Android 4.4 or above please go to settings->apps->GCC and ensure that storage permission is granted. Second did you allowed root access?
Third did you have BusyBox installed?
Fourth did you downloaded the file correctly? (Did the process has gone to 100%).
If you don't have root tell me then I will fix that.

I am on 6.0 MM and I have Systemmode Su 2.79. I made sure storage was granted and I keep my supersu set to always grant all. And busybox in xbin. Does it need to also be in sbin? Also wound mount namespace matter? I'm gonna attach screens

Hmm check if there is a GCC compiler in /data/local/GCC then tell me.
It could be that it doesn't symlinks the files (that would explain the runtime error)

Oh yea I checked that first and it's there. Also .GCC hidden folder on sd. This is my path. Is there suppose to be a GCC/GCC subfolder

Ok then nice. Just go to bin and symlink those files to /system/bin
With those commands:
"ln -s /data/local/GCC/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc /system/bin/gcc"
Replace the GCC with g++ or ar or ld.
Btw here is Telegramm Chat Link. Im Leonardo Meitz.

Ok im in nro

I'm actually adding no root support. But there are some troubles with permissions in the /data folder so it will take about 1 additional day to work fully.
Attached latest test build. It extracts GCC now to /data/data/pythonlimited.gcc/GCC but the permission are still buggy so I can't execute GCC directly.
Will be fixed I promise.
