[Q] integrating BLN to infuse kernel - Samsung Infuse 4G

I downloaded a copy of GB kernel source (infuse Rogers) and integrated BLN patch according to neldar's git repo. The kernel built successfully, and I installed the patched lights so and BLN app, but it has no effect at all (just as if nothing was done). Is it because neldars patch doesn't apply and I need to use other patches? Thanks.
BTW the BLN app detected BLN kernel successfully and showed that it is kernel version 8, liblights version 1.

Which git repo would that be?
So far every attempt to integrate BLN on our devices has been a failure, last time LinuxBozo tried, the end result was nothing but a pile of crashes.

I used this patch neldar
onto your kernel git source. Then replaced lights.so. No crashes, BLN app detected it fine, but.. just no effect at all.

I'll look at that one.
All I know is that LinuxBozo's attempt at BLN resulted in lots of crashes. I'll look at the one you just pointed to.

Folio 100 - Kernel development

This thread should serve as a general source of information for those patching and extending the kernel.
Anyone who does changes to the kernel should drop a note here (especially on those builds that go into FolioMod or TnT)
I'll also try to keep a list of patches and a current config file in the first post of this thread.
Just to make sure that anyone has a common base, the Folio 100 kernel source can be found at TegraMid wiki: http://tegramid.com/wiki/Main_Page
To upgrade to nvidia-10.9.8 apply the attached patch to the source tree.
Note that the zip file also contains a disabled folder, this contains 3 patches that were NOT applied as they prevent the folio from booting.
There were quite a few changes for handling audio devices, this may fix the issues with bluetooth headsets and sound coming from speaker and headphone (not tested though), also there was a change in some wakeup configuration structure for wlan, so this may also fix the wakeup issue.
Changes from DerArtem to support 3G Modems are not (yet) included in the kernel.
I also had two freezes when booting the system wuith this kernel (system_server not responding) however I could not reproduce them.
OK, I'm stupid!
Forget the patches above, I pushed the updated kernel images to the wrong directory (/sdcard instead of /sdcard/sdcard-disk0) So I was constantly flashing the last plain folio kernel on the device.
Damn you shell scripts!!!
Updated the patches above, the kernel should work and everyone should be able to recompile with the patch applied.
I've also attached a binary for users to test the kernel.

If you look into update-nvidia-10.9.8.zip file, you could see that it is normal update file for kernel. So that I guess you rename update-nvidia-10.9.8.zip to update.zip and then update as any other update. But you should better always know what you are doing. If not, wait for full foliomod update.
To weeds2000: thanks for keeping kernel repository updated for the others.

This kernel is based on the stock Toshiba Kernel with modifiactions from DerArtem.
I've added UTF8 NLS support as required by the vold patch as well as the lag on wakeup fix.
Could someone please confirm that 3G support is still working with this build. As I don't have a 3G modem I cannot test this.

i can try install already on folionotion?? just for not reinstall the system..
I cannot guarantee that this works, but in case you cannot boot it should be enough to just flash the ROM again without making a Factory Reset.
Make sure you have an adb connection or some way to get an update.zip to your SD Card in case the device does not boot.
check out wifi drivers from here:
http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=atheros.git;a=summary
is it possible to enable the tunnel support in the kernel?
Has anyone emailed toshiba to request the latest source? it took amout a month to arrive last time (on cd)
Could you please PM me the address you have writen the request to?
I searched the toshiba page yesterday, but couldn't find a developer page or something like that.
Or should I simply contact customer support?
weeds2000, can you attach the precompiled toolchain? i got smp compile error so maybe it is the toolchain im using.
what i did was:
1) download and extract the source
2) download and patch the tegra patch you attached in post 1
3) download the tegra config file you attached in post 1 and extract the config to .config to kernel directory
4) make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path_to_crosstoolchain/arm-eabi-
it was 2am when i did it so maybe i missed something.. lol
EDIT: Nevermind, found the toolchain from android.com.
PS. Anyone happens to have a copy of Tegra 250 technical datasheet?
Hmm.. Cannot get it to boot into OS.. The kernel booted and adb ran..
Also tried the binary you have attached in post #1 but also doesnt boot into OS. Did you get it to boot at your end?
Attached are dmesg and logcat
The image in post #1 should work with FolioMod 1.3. As the display/touchscreen driver seems to have changed it may not work with 1.4.
I'm not 100% sure, but this looks like a problem with the nvrm_daemon binary which is not started or has crashed.
please implemet tun.ko
Hi,
i need the tun.ko for the folio, so i can connect via vpnc to my fritzbox and make phonecalls for free over wlan hotspots. (like i do on my desire)
Please can you provide a tun.ko for this.
Cheers
xoom honeycomb source / git
Just got a note from MCLP on the honeycomb git.
so i downloaded it, and extracted the config.gz from xoom tablet (boot.img, that is) .
the kernel completely compiles without a single error, and no questions on the .config file i used, so the xoom config.gz matches the environment of the git (Koush said he also used it to compile the recovery kernel for xoom)
git is here
View attachment config.zip xoom edition.
now's the question if we can make it run on Folio
update:
removed(too many bugs) is the 2.6.36.3 with the Folio100 ODM_KIT included, i don't see any chance of making it work without, as i read the odmkit, its toshiba custom drivers + tegra for betelguese platform. this is NOT a working source, but inprogress.. but maybe someone else can assist?

[2ndboot][04-10-2012] Custom kernel... this time with radio

It seems that finally I was able to boot custom kernel with working radio
It's not very stable yet(it stops/crashes at bootanimation quite frequently), and is quite laggy just after boot, but once it boots it seems to be almost usable. Wifi works, sdcard also. Haven't checked bluetooth.
Credits for this goes to:
* milestone1 devs... for sharing 2ndboot source code and providing so much info regarding milestone1/2 phones
* Motorola ... for providing source code(not fully working, but was a great help anyway) for enabling UART over micro usb for debugging purposes(without this I woudn't make any progress)
* tezet... for making quite good roms used by 2ndboot
If you wish to try it(BEWARE THAT IT MIGHT BRICK YOUR PHONE, SO DON'T SAY THAT I HAVEN'T WARNED YOU ), then do as follows:
1. Install tezet's JB10(if you don't have one already).
2. extract 2ndboot.tar(attached) into /data folder, check that /data/2ndboot/hbootuser file has execute permissions.
3. overwrite /system/bootmenu/script/2nd-boot.sh(DON'T TOUCH 2nd-init.sh!!!) with the one from tar(2nd-boot.sh.tar) and check it has execute permissions.
4. reboot into bootmenu
5. change the default boot method to 2ndboot
6. Restart your phone. Most likely it will crash few times at bootlogo, but be patiant, it finally should boot
7. If you wish to get back to 2nd-init, then enter bootmenu again and change default boot method back to 2nd-init, or manually boot 2nd-init

NOTES for devs
In milestone2(as probably in many others UMTS phones made by Motorola) the BP is somehow very sensible and does not like to be disconnected/reenumerated. The main goal of this 2ndboot is then to not allow it to be disconnected. To do this, in the new kernel I've skipped a few resets(EHCI, TLL, individual port resets), and instead of enumerating BP, I've used the hardcoded usb device address(which for milestone2 seems to be equal to 2).
I attach patch(radio.patch) with the changes I've done to the kernel sources from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/milestone.motorola/files/MILS2_U6_4.1-22/
This seems to work(sometime) for both milestone2 and defy.
For other motorola phones:
1. First of all, check with lsusb what's the address and vendor/product id of your BP(for milestone2 it's 0x22b8 and 0x40e6).
2. If the BP usb device address is 2, then just apply the patch(probably it will need some small modifications), and check if it works.
3. If the BP usb device address is not 2, then edit usb/core/hub.c function hub_port_init(providing that it's there for your kernel), and replace 0x02 in the place where usb_control_msg to get descriptors is sent with address of your device
If it does not work, then you can try the following:
Create a procedure to send usb GetDescriptors request using omap3 ehci registers, and call it at different boot stages/usb initialization stages to find out how long the radio remains attached, and comment/change appropriate fragments of kernel code, to preserve this until usb port is initialized. If you wish, I can share the procedure I've written(in the patch file this is that czecho_get_descriptors called in many places) for milestone2, but it probably would need some modification to work with your device).
2ndboot module sources are here:

Wow, thats perfect This could bring M2 development to another level.
Holding thumbs up and keep it up!
Great news! Thx for your work. I've just bought an OTG cable to start playing with kernel stuff and here's a surprise
Fabulous! That means it starts a new era in the development of our MS2 Roms!
Wonderful job man
Brilliant

I'm gonna try on the Motorola Bravo as soon as PA is done uploading. Hopefully this'll work on Froyo kernels as well :fingers-crossed:
What kernel are you using? A recompiled MS2 GB kernel unmodified?
Awesome job man. This could possibly be the start of a new generation of roms for our common platform if this works on other similar phones like the Defy\Bravo. Only time will tell .
Well good work OP, can this be implemented on other Moto phones like Defy?
Great work !
I see that your work is based on Moto's Linux kernel (2.6 branch as far as I remember...)
Any hope of using another kernel source one day ?
Great News!, Thanks
Waiting for source code
Wow! Tezet and Quarx on the same thread?! I feel like up on the Mount Olypmus lol
Great job, man!...been following your work from General section.

With defy it probably should be easy, as I've seen there was 2ndboot(without radio) already build for it, so most likely only new kernel would need some tuning

It should be easy to apply some(perhaps most) 2.6.32 upstream patches to the motorola kernel sources.
Don't know however how difficult it would be to start from another kernel version. Don't know also how motorola proprietary modules/libs would behave with newever kernel version. But, as they say, impossible is nothing

In 2ndboot module I've added code to disable lcd before starting new kernel(otherwise new kernel could not initialise properly dss), and in new kernel I've only modified usb driver(perhaps more things will need to be modified, as I'm facing problem with BATTD sayins something about power ic fail, BTW, does someone know what that could mean?), so that it skips restaring EHCI, TLL and don't start enumeration, but just used the old usb device address(assigned by the original kernel), which for M2 is always 2(at least during my tests).
I2c Fail can be caused by wrong permissions for /dev/cpp*
I tried your prebuilt binaries on defy http://pastebin.com/jKjQ2ykn
Black screen + buttons lights and reboot after ~20sec

Thanks for hint regarding permissions...will check that
Regarding prebuilt binaries on defy, hard to say what's wrong(not sure how much the phones differ). Anyway, you probably would need to use devtree from your device. Also you could unpack ramdisk, and check the init.*.rc scripts if they are ok(e.g. I mount system partion using p21, not sure if that's the same for defy, and staff like that).

[Q] Can't get AOSP to boot

Whenever I build AOSP from source, it sticks on the "Google" screen (the actual bootloader logo, not the ROM bootanimation) and won't go further. This has happened on several build systems too (source redownloaded from the repo each time). Is it more likely to be a kernel or rom issue?

It could be kernel. Easiest way to ascertain that is to flash a known working kernel immediately afterwards and see what happens.

I left the system "booting" for a little while and I managed to get a logcat. Some major services are dying. I'll attach them.
It's probably not worth looking at logcats until you identify if the issue is ROM or kernel related. Logcats only tell you what Android is doing, not what kernels are doing. You'd need a dmesg for Kernel.
Try and flash a kernel first and see what happens. The closest to stock AOSP the better.
You should also reverse this test by taking a known working ROM and flash your kernel to it... It could be the error in your build is affecting both.
How are you installing the AOSP build? I can't remember what I did wrong, but at one point in my AOSP build attempts, I got the permissions wrong on my build.prop and what you describe is exactly what I experienced. Google screen but no boot animation, but did have logcat with multiple random looking failures. This line in your logcat is a clue:
Code:
I/DEBUG ( 168): Build fingerprint: 'unknown'
It should be mode 644:
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3341 Feb 24 08:53 build.prop

Dont believe so. When I last built for the nexus 5 using purely what was in AOSP, I encountered the same issue that this guy is having. The build will successfully compile, but wont actually boot. The solution for me atleast was to clone TheMuppets proprietary vendor repo for lg, add it to my source tree, run "make clobber", and build again.
Also on the official android building page, they instruct you to obtain the proprietary binaries prior to building, so it probably is indeed a necessary step.

Interesting workaround. If it works, it's even more evident that we're dealing with the 3.0.101+ kernel. I'm still planning on going through with that kernel backtracking to see which version or commit started this mess, and once I find it, report it so we can hopefully work through this. IIRC, those files were compiled against the 3.0.72+ kernel, so they might be a little old. Can someone try out the patch and see how it affects stability?

Here's the manifest file for building against those repos. I'm going to backtrack through the commits by forking the original repos at different points in time. Obviously, the old repos I forked before the 3.0.101+ commits are going to stay as they are for the time being until the issue is pinpointed and fixed once and for all. After that, I plan on deleting the manifest file and repos. Make sure that you run repo sync --force-sync on your build tree after replacing the manifest file and make clean to revert the kernel, or you'll still have remnants of 3.0.101+ lurking in the builds.

Like I said to @alexander_32, I tried reverting the u-boot.bin commits that Transi made a couple months back for the aicp build. It booted, ran really slow, and OpenCamera still saw the camera module as being in use. Using the current boot binary things run nice and fast again. The build I ran off last night testing a couple more things also did not have any effect on camera...

@alexander_32: Not sure why, but I can't boot using this with the rom you posted here. It stays on the boot logo indefinitely. After a clean install and making sure it boots fine once, I'm manually flashing the boot.img in the zip and copying the contents of the modules dir while fixing permissions afterwards. Is that all there is to it or am I missing something?

You just extracting all files from camera fix, then update cm13.0 flashable zip with files from camera fix and flash flashable zip. It worked on Temasek's CM13. I'll do more researches and inform about results.

Ah, I read the OP wrong and wasn't merging into the rom zip but manually into existing installation. Though even now, I still can't boot after trying it with plain cm13, beanstalk, or temasek. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 with cache and data both f2fs if that makes any difference.
Has anyone else had success so far and if so with which roms?

Ah, I read the OP wrong and wasn't merging into the rom zip but manually into existing installation. Though even now, I still can't boot after trying it with plain cm13, beanstalk, or temasek. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 with cache and data both f2fs if that makes any difference.

I guess now I understand what happened. I flashed my fix first, then did factory reset and flashed changed zip. I'll test it and inform what happened
CONFIRMED: It's 3.0.72+ kernel.

CONFIRMED: BeanStalk works! (Solution was a kernel from RR 5.6.5 with blue logo)

UNBELIEVABLE! It works on Temasek only! But I'm not done yet. Need some time to think.

I'll update this thread with more information.

I'm thinking it doesn't work on transi's RR or CM13 builds because he disabled the camera with some commits that he hasn't pushed to GitHub. Either way, those builds are built with 3.0.101+, and the patches you brought in are from 3.0.72+. It would make sense if they didn't boot after patching (especially if you flash the boot.img). What happens if you just replace the files in /system and leave the boot image intact?

My builds work with 3.0.101+ as well, but Temasek's works and BeanStalk doesn't (with 3.0.72+). Yes, I'll try it.

I tried that yesterday, and it results in never getting to the boot animation, so the kernel never loads.

Ubuntu Touch (ubports 5.1) for Elephone Trunk: working kernel

Hi folks,
I managed to fix the cyanogenmod MSM8916 kernel, in order to compile with the configuration required by Ubuntu Touch (ubports 5.1). My fixes are to be checked, though, since I just gave a look to the mainline code and I did not debug the code.
Unfortunately, there was no mainline code for the PFT driver, so that one has to be disabled. I also have to disable qcdev, qcrypto and quota2 (the latter has been deleted from mainline code, though).
However, so far, the recovery image (which uses the same kernel) compiles and boots. I have also made a system image, but it does not boot yet...
I eventually used the kernel by @ottmi, since is the most up to date (and very likely the best for the trunk).
The kernel is here: https://github.com/siljaer/android_kernel_cyanogen_msm8916
I hope to build a working system image soon.

I haven't managed to build an image yet, but there are news.
I am waiting for Halium. Actually, Ubports is going to be Halium-based. Halium is a HAL project that will be the base for several linux-based ROMs.
I have found a blocker in building a working image. I have also chatted with the ubports people, and it looks like other phones have problems booting. Since it would be useless to solve this problem for the ubports HAL (it would be abandoned soon), I am waiting for Halium.
