Hi guys..
There was some interest in different filesystem modules for Eclair.
I built these from the source from Samsung. I'm running Froyo, so I have no way to exactly test these. In theory they should work, but I can't guarantee it. I couldn't find any of these modules anywhere on xda-developers, so I'm hoping I'm not redoing other peoples' work.
The crc16.ko and mbcache modules may be required in order to insmod the ext and/or jbd modules. ext4 does need jbd in order to properly be imported I believe.
To use:
Simply copy to your sdcard in a "modules" folder.
* AS ROOT * from adb or a shell on your phone, run:
Code:
insmod /sdcard/modules/ext2.ko
Change ext2.ko to whatever module you'd like to load.
I'd like to hear feedback.

Wow nice job, and what are the exact benefits then? Ext4 is faster then Ext2?
So one could finally insmod the ext2 module and then install the lagfix...
so do we need to apply the insmod in every boot or just do it one time and DONE?
Thanks so much for your contributions.
Ext4 is better than 2 in various ways, however it arguably uses more cpu than ext2... But now we have the chance to debunk that if it's actually untrue.
It's just as easy to compile both of them in as it is one, so I figured I'd just do all of them.
You'll need to do an insmod every boot, since modules don't stay in the kernel between reboots. Things like filesystems can be compiled right into the kernel (except for proprietary ones like rfs - since then Samsung would need to release the source code for it).. so I may be able to compile you guys a new zImage that includes ext2 (or 4), with tun support and cifs if needed..
If this works, you should be able to add it to the init scripts in /system.
Hello friend, does this module work on the tablet Coby MID7015, which has the Android 2.1 (Eclair)? If so how would he incorporates into the kernel to not have to keep typing the command on each boot. Thanks
I thought it would be easy, but it's not!
I can insmod all modules except ext4 but nothing seems to happen. Still cannot mount an ext2 partition. I can leave with FAT!
[Q&A] How to build/modify your own linux image for eMMC install Debian sample inside
This thread is for help and support with all linux distributions instalable in eeepad asus transformer. I will explain how to build your own image file or modify existing one in order to use lilstive OLife script.
As ubuntu is the most popular distro, please, all de questions related with ubuntu post them in lilstevie's thread.
You can install any distribution with arm architecture support, but you'll need to make some tweaks in the image in order to work propperly. As my experience in linux is most of it related with debian is the distro i will give the best support, but i'll try to answer every question you ask.
I've chosen debian armHardFloat port instead of debian armel fore many reasons, you can read about this port here:
http : //wiki. debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort
This port is still young so right now there are packages still unaviable to install but they are entering in wheeze day to day. If you preffer to use armel instead or armhf you can always do, you will loose improvement but you will have (at the time of writting this) less packages aviable. In the future (not far away) it will be the best option.
Building your own image:
There are many ways to create a image file but because we are going to need qemu in order to debootstrap the instalation the easiest way to create it is with qemu-img
Code:
qemu-img create debian-armhf.img 400M
I have only given 400M of space because is going to be a minimal instalation without desktop enviroment, it could be smaller but, just in case, that's the size i've chosen. The transfer with OLife it will be faster if the image is smaller.
When you boot for your first time you will find an error because there is no valid MSDOS partition table, this is ok, nothing happens because of that but if you want to avoid it use fdisk to create a partition table
Code:
fdisk debian-armhf.img
we need now to give format to the filesistem:
Code:
mkfs.ext4 debian-armhf.img
It will ask if you really want to do because it's not an ordinary partition and you have to type "s" to proceed
Now whe have ready the image and we have to mount it in some folder to install debian in it:
Code:
mount -o loop debian-armhf.img debian
asuming debian as the created folder for that.
We are ready to debootstrap de instalation:
Code:
debootstrap --verbose --arch armhf --foreign --include=btrfs-tools,locales,kbd,wpasupplicant wheezy debian http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
this will make the first step to install wheezy armhf, --foreing parameter is because the target architecture is different from the host one and it's going to stop before de second-stage, it will include the packages btrfs-tools locales and kbd, you can add as many as you want but it will be always faster if you install them manually once installed in the transformer. I didn't install ssh server because i have a dock, but if you don't have it will be needed to complete the instalation with a remote shell, but you can also install packages later with chroot after the second stage.
In order to be able to chroot we will need qemu-user-static, with armhf it's needed 1.0 version with armel it's not necesary, it can be any version not too old. Also if you have an i386 system it's recomendable to install an amd64 kernel to do chroot or debootstrap will fail configuring cron. Actually i think in this sample image there is anacron instead of cron because there was an issue i thought it was related with that but later twb found out the problem was another different and now it's solved.
we will add qemu-arm-static to the instalation to be able to chroot
Code:
cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static debian/usr/bin/
we chroot to the new enviroment:
Code:
chroot debian
and execute the second stage of debootstrap:
Code:
./debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
After finish the instalation we will set the root password
Code:
passwd
and now it's ready, you can make tweaks, install packages (as ssh if you need it) or whatever you want, but you will have to add a repository to /etc/apt/sources.list in order to install any packages.
In this image and debootstrap proccess i've used german repositories because are the fastest for me, but you can use another one, right now it's neede also experimental repository to have working touch screen, but as soon xserver-xorg-input-evdev with full multitouch support enters sid as it won't be necesary
example of /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free
I have already installed in this image necesary packages for that and experimental repositories won't interfiere unless you pass the parameter for apt-file so you can forget about this if you want, but if you are building your own image apt-get install -t experimental xserver-xorg will do the work.
we have ready now our image but it need some files and tweaks to make everithing work in the eepad.
From here you can apply this to any arm image you want to test.
(all the files needed are in the attached file files.tar.gz in the rigth folders)
we need to add modules and firmware, i've extracted them from lilstive ubuntu.img
strictly necesary are:
Code:
/lib/firmware/nvram.txt
/lib/firmware/brcm/*
but you may need another ones if you are going to use external hardware, that's on you.
there are also two folder in /lib/modules one is for the asus kernel and the other one for chrome os kernel, i suggest to add both of them because it's just a bit space and you will be able to use the image with both kernels.
In order to make wifi work i've made /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf file with some parameters found in one of the threads of lilstevie and /etc/modules with the modules to load.
You will also need to configure /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf all this files are in the attached files.tar.gz but wpa_supplicant.conf is not because it depends of each ones wifi, but there is a wpa_supplicant.conf.example and you can always google for it a bit. If you don't have a dock make sure you do this correctly or you won't be able to connect to the internet and ssh device to continue instalation easily
if you want to be able to use adb (wich is really usefull if you for example did not correctly configure wpa_supplicant) you will have tu add also "/usr/bin/adbd" and /etc/init.d/adbd"
I've modify the original init.d script to avid LSB tags missing warning error, it's not really necesary rsyslog as previous service started but ... it works.
In order to make adb service start automatically we will execute (inside the chroot of course)
Code:
update-rc.d /etc/init.d/adb defaults
This may be different in non debian based distributions, but you can always ln manually to rcX.d
Finally, there is the "bug" it has made me think something was wrong and change cron with anacron, when you boot it appears to stop booting starting a service (cron, dbus, deppending what you have installed) but it isn't you can login pressing ctrl + alt + F2 (touchpad key),
we think it's related with the bootloader and default tty as 7 or something like that.
As workaround add in /etc/rc.local "chvt 1" (without quotes) just before exit 0 line
Because there is not oem-installation like in ubuntu after the first boot there are a couple of things to do, we have to resize the image to fit the partition, change password, configure locales and xorg keyboard-layout (if you have more than one locales) add an user and include in relevant groups and maybe more in the future so i've made a postinstalation.sh script included in /usr/bin:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Making online resize of the root partition"
partition=`mount -l | grep " / " | awk '{print $1}'`
resize2fs $partition
echo "changing root password"
passwd
echo "configure locales"
dpkg-reconfigure locales
echo "configure xserver keyboard layout"
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
echo "configure localtime"
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
echo "Please anter a user name"
read username1
adduser $username1
echo "adding user to relevant groups"
adduser $username1 audio
adduser $username1 video
adduser $username1 netdev
adduser $username1 plugdev
adduser $username1 bluetooth
adduser to bluetooth will fil because there is not installed any bluetooth manager so there is not bluetooth group yet, and remeber tu use OLife script to inject bluetooth firmware in order to have bluetooth working.
And that's it i think i haven't miss anything but i will update this when needed. You can now install your image with lilstevie's OLife script, you will have to rename it to ubuntu.img from now. If everithing went ok you can now install the desktop enviroment you prefer, on screen keyboard or whatever you like.
I haven't test network manager and i've only tested kde-netbook, but there are still broken dependencies and it's a bit slow. This will improve as soon as we have hardware acceleration (if we ever do), and armhf port goes ahead.
Lilstevie is going to host my images and maybe OLife script will have more options in the future, but from now you can download from here:

Please, any mod or admin can correct the word modufy in the title?

Following your instructions, I can finally replace ubuntu with debian, which resides my home laptops, office desktop, and now, on my tablet as well. Unfortunately debian has no "onboard" package... and it's rather inconvenient without a dock.
Thanks anyway for bring debian to this tablet.

What has onboard that haven't other onscreen keyboards? i haven't ever tried onboard and i just tried a couple of onboard keyboards in debian, i also did managed to load it automatically in login screen, But i did never went deeper, like "only appear if the focus is in textbox" or something like that.
Anyway i has to be easy to rebuild that package for debian or just install it from ubuntu. What do you exactly need?
onboard onboard
Onboard has keys that simulate middle-click and right-click of mouse. I tried to install ubuntu's deb file, but runs into problem with dependencies. Compiling the source on the tablet led to error related to gdk/gdk.h which i couldn't figure out how to resolve.
Onboard respond better than others, e.g. xvkbd and florence both have run-away key presses, i.e. a string of letters appear even for a quick single tap on a key.
Also, onboard integrates nicely with lightdm. I used xdm plus florence to log in (the screen keyboard hides most of xdm's GUI).
With fluxbox, debian seems faster than ubuntu+fluxbox on the tablet. That's why onboard is nice since fluxbox menu requires right-clicking on the desktop. Fortunately, fluxbox keys are easily configurable, so i still can shutdown by pressing some key combination.
Hopefully lilstevie has the time to work on hardware acceleration, which would then allows to dump android completely.

Ok, i'll give it a look and if i can i will build a debian package in order to include it in the image
I've managed to build a couple of packages for onboard. You can't imagine how much crap it's in building dependencies, mono, unity and so many things, so i've removed appindicator dependency because i don't think it's going to be really necesary. The true is that i don't have so much time right now so,
Can you please test it and tell me if you have any problem? I can try to rebuild another older version in order to avoid unity crap and those things without messing the code, but if this works well it's the eassiest solution.
You have to install both packages, the other dependencies are instalable from debian oficial repository, at least i haven't got any problem installing it in my building environment.

python-virtkey is provided in my previous post, just install it, after that
#apt-get install -f
will resolve and install automatically pending dependencies.
I've already tried and it works.
EDIT: i have been working in the suppose you are runnin debian armel and not armhf
To get bluetooth working, you need an armhf build of brcm_patchram_plus.
Thankfully it's GPL'd, so here's a copy.
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble getting Debian on my TF101 using OLiFE.
I'm forced to use the android/Ubuntu dual-boot option, but that's another story.
Basically, there's a kernel panic and I can't see the entire screen without it rebooting one second later. I am able to flash my TF101 properly without bricking (it's a B60), but everytime I boot it up as my default OS, I get that rebooting screen.

Kernel panic kinda implies the problem is with the kernel, not with Debian. If you're using the 3.1 kernel, try the 2.6 one by lilstevie. Whichever kernel you're using, you're better off seeking help in one of the kernel-specific threads.

Franks Tools-new modified Ubuntu install
Hello i dont know if this is right thread,i like to ask you advanced users for some help.I wanna install ubuntua via new modified Franks tools by kenshin,released few days ago,i cannot find exact answer what i need to progress.
My questions are: How can i made nvflashable files system.img boot.img recovery.img and others to use franks tools? how to obtain these images?
2.) and if i will use those images that can be found here on forum can i then just flash for example Revolution HD rom? ,or does it destroy my installation of ubuntu via franks tools?
because i know that there is little play with partitions so i am not sure if i can flash any rom after use of franks tools dual boot option.thank you for help

I did everything stock and did exactly what you said to do for Debian, though I used the armel architecture and the adb wouldn't work with an error.
By everything stock, I mean that I didn't alter anything from the OLiFE folder except adding the ubuntu.img file.

The original kernel from OLiFE didn't work for me - I had a boot loop. Try manually compiling the lilstevie kernel, or using a kernel from Jhinta's kernel thread.
The packed kernels (CWM zips) for Ubuntu will work exactly the same under Debian. (or at least in the direct mount case - I don't know about loop mount)

hi,
i installed the ubuntu image with olife on my transformer. i don't like ubuntu very much, i prefer debian which i run debian on my computer as well. i stumbled over this thread so i wondered what's the status of debian on our transformer.
can anyone tell me whats currently working.

The same as in ubuntu. But you may need some tweeks. Depends of the kernel you are using. nvidia has released also a beta of the nvidia drivers for armhf and not only armel so you may use armhf or armel with jintha's kernel and have almost everithung working.
Hi all,
there's some fantastic stuff on your forum and I would like to thank you all for work being done here!
Now, to my point. I need kernel source (or update.zip or zImage or boot.img or whatever ) that can support systemd so I can run Fedora 17 arm on my Toshiba Folio 100.
I tried using kernel 3.1 form DerArtem (the guy who has done amazing work with folio) but it has no framebuffer console. I tried adding support for this myself (following this guide: kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt) but it didn't work. There's no surprise there as I am newbie when it comes to compiling kernel and changing its options.
I succeeded in starting Fedora 12 arm with older kernel using this guide (lguegan.free.fr/article.php3?id_article=29) which is inspired by you guys. It worked all right, but I didn't want to go deeper with it because F12 arm didn't have LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) in its repos and Fedora 17 did. Also, Fedora 17 has core support for multi-touch - apps do need to implement this feature though, but the funcionality is there.
And if there is someone who can help me, I can point you in a few directions:
Kernel source for 3.1: github.com/DerArtem/android_kernel_toshiba_betelgeuse
Fedora 17 arm rootfs: fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora-secondary/releases/17/Images/
I am not sure which image you should use SFP or HFP as I don't know what kind of floating point Folio uses.
I am making boot.img with this command:
Code:
#mkbootimg --kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage --cmdline "[email protected] [email protected] vmalloc=192M video=tegrafb usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegrapart=recovery:122000:a00:800,linux:a0e00:1000:800,loader:300:400:800,mbr:700:200:800,system:900:20000:800,cache:20900:80000:800,misc:a0900:400:800,userdata:a1f00:80000:800 boardtype=PR root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 init=/sbin/init usb-storage.delay_use=0 rootdelay=10" -o boot.img --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz
maybe there is something wrong right there, but I don't know what half of these kernel parameters do
Also, maybe I am using wrong config file: arch/arm/configs/tegra_betelgeuse_android_defconfig, please do correct me.
Now that I think, I just need config file for this 3.1 kernel, so basicaly that's the help I need.
Thanks in advance and again thank you for all the good stuff here

Hmmm interesting project. Mabey some day you can tell us how you got Fedora 12 to work. I saw that DerArtem is working on a kernel over on his github page: https://github.com/DerArtem/, mabey it will work with your build?
Did you also read through the linux post in the general section? (link)
Hi friend!
Well, getting Fedora 12 arm to work was fairly easy. Just flashed with kernel from that page you posted and copied Fedora 12 rootfs to an mmc and it booted with console. X was not even installed in rootfs so before I tried to make it work I realized that there was no office for that version of Fedora arm so I dropped it.
Reason I can't use kernel from that page you posted is: it's too old. Fedora 17 uses systemd which requires newer kernel. That's why I came here, to try and contact DerArtem to see if his new kernel 3 for Folio could be configured to boot up other OSes, because I tried reconfiguring myself but got stuck.
Thanks for your interest in this
Its been a while since i build my own kernel, but it seems to me that you need to have a F17 build system and then build the kernel with the config for the Folio 100 (Fedora arm Kernel building)
I'm currently trying to get Archlinux working on my folio (Still i know).
I don't have problem building a kernel. It builds just fine, and I do get zImage and I can flash my Folio with it and it boots up. Only problem I have at the moment is that I can't seem to get framebuffer console working so I can debug booting Fedora from MMC.
and then build the kernel with the config for the Folio 100
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that's what I am missing
The config for the kernel is in:
arch/arm/configs/tegra_betelgeuse_android_defconfig
You will have to enable the framebuffer console as it is disabled it the kernel.
Hi DerArtem,
thanks for taking time to look at my work.
I think there was a mistake in my earlier efforts that I didn't realize, because now I did it from start and framebuffer works like a charm. I also added support for systemd (devtmpfs, cgroups, etc...) and now my Fedora 17 arm boots to console.
I am so happy right now I can't even try to debug why X doesn't work, but I'll get there.
If I make this work completely I will make a guide and post it here.
Thanks guys!
May I suggest u post your issues here, perhaps we can help you with these ?
thanks
P.S. Fedora is not really my distribution of choice(prefer debian or arch), but nevertheless make it working is a great advance
Thanks sader0!
I will need help with this.
Here are the logs:
dmesg - dm.txt
lsusb - lsusb.txt
/var/log/messages - messages.txt
Xorg -configure - Xorg.0.txt
lspci - doesn't produce anything.
And another thing, I didn't copy anything from kernel tree after compiling. I noticed during kernel build that something compiles as module but I had trouble finding any modules.
Is there anything I should copy to filesystem from kernel tree?
Best regards,
Momcilo.
I posted a question earlier that got no traction regarding compiling the RTL8187 drivers for the infinity for use in backtrack for ARM.
I have since completed the compile and have successfully used the adapter I bought on the tablet with them. What is attached are the compiled compat-wireless drivers, specifically: compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2
They include the "mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch" and the "channel-negative-one-maxim.patch"
I am attaching them for those interested or who have a similar need. I am not interested in being bombarded with questions/complaints about it not working for them or whatever. I may post a tutorial later with the problems I ran across and how I compiled these drivers that may help others with different chipsets.
These drivers work successfully with BT5 for ARM on my infinity and an ebay RTL8187L chipset external USB wireless device. To see more ID's they might work check here for RTL8187 PCI ID's that compat-wireless drivers might work for: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl8187
Once in backtrack you will need to MAKE SURE the built in wireless is turned off on the tablet then in terminal with SU:
rmmod bcmdhd.ko
You will have to have the compat-wireless package I referenced above downloaded and uncompress and run: make wlunload in the folder you uncompress it to.
This will get rid of cfg80211.ko rmmod would probably work for that too but I know this works.
Now insmod in the following order:
insmod eeprom_93cx6.ko
insmod compat.ko
insmod cfg80211.ko
insmod mac80211.ko
insmod rtl8187.ko
It can all be scripted, feel free to do so.
With your wireless device plugged in to USB run airmon-ng and you should see your card in the list.
You will have to of course reboot to re-enable the built-in wireless.
Enjoy!
If you ever get the time I would appreciate a brief tutorial on the steps you took to build the modules. I've been struggling with doing this on the nexus 7 for a few days now and don't seem to be making much headway.
Nexus 7
Hi,
Yes please post a tutorial as I'm using a Nexus 7 also.
I already use a modified kernel on my Galaxy Nexus where I don't need to do those modification it's all built in the kernel (http://www.kernel-xp.net/index.php/en/) and would like the same but I would also take your procedure
