Hi All,
Please guide me to the right thread to post this query I have...
===
I am facing a challenge in compiling and getting the wlan (pronto) driver working for my Redmi Note 4G.
After the kernel source was released I have successfully compiled the kernel and booted it up.
However, I found that kernel source which xiaomi released on github is missing the wlan source...
Due to this, I am not able to use WiFi on my custom kernel...
I did a lot of analysis and tried to get the code of Prima's WLAN with Pronto support from other device branches to get the WiFi working.
But I have not been successful so far...
Hence I request here to guide me on the following:-
1) In case this has already been answered successfully in another thread, please guide me to it. I was not able to locate it.
OR
2) Please help me along to successfully get the WiFi working on the compiled custom kernl from the source...
OR
3) Please give me enough evidence that I will not be able get WiFi / WLAN drivers needed for custom kernel on REDMI note 4G, in which case I will abandon XIAOMI devices and request everyone in my ability and reach to not buy their devices!
Kindly guide me...
I am a developer with good technical knowledge, but new to Android arena...
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I think the best place for your question would be in this section:

Firstly, apologies but as a new member I cannot post to the developers area.
I want to know if anyone has put any effort into a port of android to satio? I believe the first part shouldn't be too challenging as Android has already been compiled to the OMAP3430 SoC. I am familiar with setting up an arm cross-compiling toolchain and have worked with the arm9260 chipset in this regard (including writing kernel drivers).
As I haven't developed for a phone before, I'm not sure how easy it is to access the bootloader and download a new kernel.
Beyond that I'm in new territory regards the neceeasry drivers and accessibility to the information to develop the kernel code required
I look forward to your comments.

Hello everyone.
Im struggling with compiling kernel for ZenFone 5 ( A500CG ) with intel Atom on board.
Every guide on the net is about arm devices so basically i dont know which cross_compiler should be pointed using NDK R10.
Also i cannot pull out config.gz from my android device ( file simply does not exists.. ) and i have no idea which config file from souce kernel should i use..
Could someone point me the right direction on this? I just would really like to have STK1160 driver working on my zenfone 5
Best Regards
Hi,
I suggest you to browse through this section at the various guides and tutorials. After reading up, if you are still needing help, you can ask about it there:

Good luck!
Hi All,
I've been reading these forums for sometime now. Until now I've only been here as a user of roms not as a developer.
However, on my current project I had the requirement to get an android distribution running on a beaglebone black embedded board. As there are a lot of experienced rom developers here I would like to ask my question here.
Currently I'm successfully booting the kernel. It also seems to get to the actual homescreen. However, it seems that I'm currently in a bootloop a when I reach the homescreen. I get thrown back to the boot animation.
My guess is that there is some kind of memory issue here. More specifically the vmalloc part.
I get the following error in the dmesg when the homescreen crashes:
binder: 1804: binder_alloc_buf failed to map pages in userspace, no vma
Can anyone confirm that this is good explanation and tell me how I should adres this issue? Or maybe provide me with some other tips?
I tried to increase the vmalloc size but I'm not really able to do so. if I enter the vmalloc=512M command on the uboot it doesn't really change the size...
Thanks
Hi there,
You must read some guides and tutorials for that. Starting from:
1. This guide about how to port different ROMs to your device.
2. This guide about how to port AOSP ROMs to your device.
3. This guide about how to port a ROM to your device.
4. This guide about how to create a new ROM for your device.
5. This guide for ROM development beginners.
6. This guide in xda university for building your own android rom.
7. This guide in xda university for porting an aosp rom from source.
There are also instructions on the cyanogen mod wiki site about it.
A good place to ask if you have questions about it or need help, is Chef Central - Android. Many devs are watching this forum and can help quickly.
Good luck
Hi! I have the Energy X 2 MT6580 phone. I had asked BLU for the kernel source code, and they gave me access instructions for FileZilla. However, there is no source code for the Energy X 2, just the Energy X. They have the same chipset, and I belive they are the same kernel version. Could someone please look into this and tell me if I could use that kernel for compiling CyanogenMod12.1 from source?
Thanks

Hello,
Could somebody give me links, initial instructions or an overview of how to adapt the crDroid custom rom to be able to install also on the Teclast t40 pro ?
Or in other words... Which changes should be made (and a general how-to) to that rom once obtained its source code, to add support for a new device, in this case that tablet ?
I am a software developer in .NET with some linux experience also, and this could give me the opportunity to learn something big'n new...
Thanks in advance !
It's so sad that nobody can give me a hand on this; At least a general intro. Ok, I will forget about it and I'll change my little goals in life to something more useful and productive.
Have a nice day.
Hello try this
