Hi All,
I have been a long time XDA user, and follow and utilize a number of threads for my android devices!
(
For the first time ever i have not been able to find what I'm looking for and so I send out a plea for help (or lay out a challenge if people prefer them) !!
I have a lenovo yoga 13 and can run a live version of android 4.2 however i do not want to complete a hard drive install due to the lack of support for the wifi and BT.
I was wandering if anyone would be able to create a yoga 13 ROM including the driver for the realtek RTL8723a wifi/bt chip.
This has been working on Ubuntu elsewhere.
My knowledge does not extend passed installing ROMs so the process to learn this is beyond my grasp. I am happy to donate to developers should this help!!
I would love to do this myself but would not even know where to begin.
I have managed to install the relevant version of android and touchscreen etc works brilliantly, i just need the ability to connect to the internet.
I guess there are two options and some advise would be great:
1 - could i use a usb wifi adaptor that would be supported by Android rather than the built in realtex card.
2 - where should i begin to look or research if i wanted to learn how to modify the install in order to include the correct kernal or support for this version (I am assuming using the working ubuntu drivers in some way). Any recommended reference materials to get me started. I appreciate this option may require quite some time to fully understand android development.
Thanks

Hi,
I am a user of the joggler.info community. We are trying to create a working build of Android 2.2 using the android-x86 source and the vilivs5 modifications.
Until now what has been achieved is the following:
basic graphic support (the image is 8bit color) most of the time the interface is fluid during the transitions not. Many games doesn't work, I tyhink because of the lack of opengl es.
wireless support
ethernet works
touchscreen works
audio works
We would like help overall for the graphic/display driver. The user who is working on this has also tried to apply the 32bpp patch but the result is a yellowish image.
If anyone knows how to make any changes or improvements post it here.
Thanks!!!
+1 for this please
I'd love to see this developed too.
in the meantime we have an almost full working image of Android 2.2. You can download it here: http://www.multiupload.com/FSK4RWEYTR
You can follow the development here: http://joggler.info/forum/index.php (software -> mobile os section, android 2.2 thread)

Currently, I'm having a difficult time in using office substitute in Android for my work(as a teacher). I don't want to let go of my TF300 but I really need to make it functional so I'm planning to port linux into it.. Will this be a good move or will I just be left with the same problem after porting to Linux? I need a fully functioning office and the possibility of installing Prezi.. hope you guys could help me out.. thanks!

Supposedly there's a port of Libre Office in the works.

Prezi - beta player for android
http://community.prezi.com/prezi/topics/final_beta_for_unofficial_prezi_player_for_android
first decAobs
I've been running the ArchLinux port for a few days now as my daily driver, more or less. It has some kinks yet but if you know what you're doing productivity is a ton higher. The Arch repos don't have libreoffice for whatever reason but google docs works fantastically, substantially better than under Android.
Admittedly Prezi probably won't work as you can't run Flash but office is alright. There's also an unofficial libreoffice build floating around here that I'm in the process of downloading to test.
As for anything else you can dual boot with standard Android pretty easily so you don't lose out on Android features (e.g. decent graphics accel, YouTube, etc)
Hello all!
Firstly, I would like to thank many people for their inputs on this site. I have been viewing it for quite some time, so I finally created an account. I cant wait to get in the community!
Now, as for the reason for this post. I am trying to get my ALFA USB WiFi AWUS036NHA to work with my Tab 2 7.0. After doing some research I am with the understanding that I must write the drivers into the kernel. I have a decent understanding of how the kernel works with the hardware and software of the device (the theory of it, rather), but I do not know how to actually edit the kernel. I have done some software developing on Linux, Windows, iOS, and the PSP-1000 communities, but I did nothing with their kernels.
My question is, is there a pre-built kernel with the RALINK drivers? If so, I would love a link to that, but I am also interested in learning how to modify the kernel, for I am mainly a Linux/Android fanatic.
Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks!
Edit : Just for informational purposes, my tablet is on Cyanogenmod 4.2.2. The only thing on it are a BlackUbuntu image, and a Backtrack 5 image, which I boot through terminal.
Edit : I am currently setting up the Eclipse IDE on my Ubuntu system. I should be ready to go by morning. I have been reading references and studying source code for the better part of the day.

Hello guys, this is my first post on XDA though I have been lurking.
I am developing a screencasting software which I felt I should share with the community.
I needed to access my phone with a damaged screen so I wrote this as I couldn't find anything that fit my needs.
The only tool that came close was a 6 year old unmaintained project androidscreencast (on google code) that needed root.
I took pointers from the project and started this one in JavaFX.
It does not require root but utilizes adb commands to send input to the device so should work on all devices.
You need adb installed.
Your device must be developer enabled and discoverable by adb.
Tested on windows and a device running 4.4.2
Currently it is still in development so I haven't released any builds yet, but it works really great. I would love it if someone tested in on unix to see if it works.
You can find it on github under frostymarvelous/AndroidScreencast
hello comunity,
thank you for taken me into your community.
my question might is weird but i was always wondering why android ROMS are always just made for specific devices.
As known from the Personal Computers you just get an installation media like DVD or USB Drive packed with the OS and all the driver the computer might have. the installation routine just figures out the the device needs and installs acordingly.
why this is not possible for the ARM-devices to install android OS like this? or is there already projects who invented? i think almost everybody (especially those who owns a not anymore supported device by the manufacturer) would appreciate if he/she could upgrade by using an autonomous installer.
I am not a hardware architecture nerd thats why i would appreciate and kindly ask for an easy to understand explanation
