Hi all developers, i open this thread about porting kernel for photon here. Im working on it and here is interested stuf about bcm4329

good link, will follow it!
i'm sure we can find useful stuff on 2.6.32 and backport on 2.6.29.
differences between arch/arm/msm on both versions are quite big, thus im not sure how easy it is to upgrade photon kernel.
i found a way to get some terminal console and some debug outbut:
just install the HTC Sync for HTC Aria, it gives you the USB ADB driver: link here
Then, in a command window, execute following commands:
Code:
adb devices => tells you if your device is recognized
adb shell => launch a basic linux shell
type "dmesg" to have the debug message
"dmesg | /bin/more" to have the same but page by page (press space enter to go next page)
you can also install android applications:
adb install <name of file>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at first look, you can see the kernel is compiled with loaaads of debug output.
and we can already see a recurrent segfault that might be the cause of some of the issues we have.
Note: adb.exe enclosed in zip file of this message

Maybe it's a good idea to make a list of all issues we experience at this moment in the first post. That way, we can handle them one by one
This is my list now:
- Battery driver doesn't work.
- Maybe that has to do with the battery driver, but when I use my device with Android for about a half an hour (Angry Birds), the back side comes very warm...
- Data not working (WiFi and GPRS as well)
- Buttons need realignment
- Sometimes it happens that when I turn my device off just with the power button, the lights under the hardware keys keep going.

guys have you seen here?

I'm trying to find where they got the kernel 2.6.32, in cyanogen repository the kernel stops at 2.6.29:

yes, cotulla used the kernel of liberty (which is HTC Aria)
actually I think I found the latest kernel \o/

yes, we need to implement cotulla's patch
seems he duplicated the "liberty" files to "photon" in arch/arm/msm and did light modifications
we can do a diff vs the htc aria official source code to have it all

Attention!
i do not want to pick at cotulla, but in fact we want to use his changes for another port it is to say: his code is kind of mess
you can really see that he stopped working on it instantly..
Either someone cleans this up or you will really have to understand what he intended to do!

Well..I think the reason he stopped instantly is here
Cotulla dumped the project few hours after this post,some of you may call it coincidence,but i think Cotulla was reading what we were writting there.
helping someone who is swearing you work is....(i don't wanna use bad words)
if i were him i will do exactly the same!
we need to be thankful that he even released the working haret for us

. .

who can tell ...
hi I want to know about how to custom the haret image. and how to solve the connect problem. so does the battery. so just tell me the general steps.. I am willing to test the image. thanks all the developers.

Guys i will post tomorow here all modified 2.6.32 files, dont have time to upload in this time.

P.S. tracaplaca my english is bad and im sorry for this, ok? PLEASE froget me and my post and please dont post here if your post is not about developming, PLEASE, OK? Cotulla have donatins from me ten minutes after his post abut working photon project and this was my big thanks to big Cotula. So please forget all old posts and please back to post, ok?

agree with you.
i'm not sure every single modification is required (code looks like "modif here, compile and see if it works better"), but it's incredible chance to have a working source code and we all thanks cotulla for his work. this way we have a chance to have a clean code starting from the liberty/aria source code.
it seems he tried to investigate the wifi issue (many wifi files modified compare to liberty) but with no luck.
in the kernel configuration he released, he said we could get the kernel debug traces on the PC.
do you guys know how to get it? plugging usb cable when android is booting does not seems to help.
reason I'm asking is, it seems there are lot of debug informations available but so far i cannot access to them...

maybe is this
http://droidbar.net/2010/09/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode/

That option is enabled by default on the 2.2. image that have been posted.
I think you have to use adb tool as said here to see the output.

thanks! yeah you see it takes time
can you compile the kernel and send the zImage as well?

[ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010] - Support For Polaris

There recently has been quite a bit of discussion and support questions pertaining to the Polaris device on Warm Donut.
To keep these device specific discussions separated and organized we will use this as the official Polaris support thread.
As I don't own a Polaris device I will be relying heavily on this strong community for assistance
Updates:
WiFi/Bluetooth Polaris update for Warm Donut RLS 4. (Thanks to DmK75)

I've tried that and it is nice and not slow at all!!!
Only two questions on my side:
1) When in landscape (resolution 220x340) I miss the rightmost keys, while in portrait all is perfectly good and calibrated. Is there something wrong I've done or better I shoudl do?
2) Is there any way to add languages (I'd like Italian): so far I've only English and that prevents using T9, while the compact qwerty works as a charm!
I have not never installed android yet. What excatly must I install? Must I instal NoMoRootFS on sd card and / or nand?

Hi there... nice questions, and the reply could be veeeery long and complex. I suggest that you have a loow around in teh forums as there is all that you need to know, no need to ask a response specifically for you. FOr instance this thread is very helpful.
I suggest that you don't start with SD card FAT+EXT+EXT install or NAND, but simply go for a ".sqsh" kind of installation, easier to change, remove, and when you're happy with the choice, you go eventually NAND. I never went, as I still need Winmo.
Hope that helps

I can tell you that this worked for me, but it is difficult to say if it will work for you not knowing your configuration.. I believe that if we all would put into our signatures the configuration's we are working with, it would be easier to help each other.
must say it did activate wifi but not to usable state (see no nets)
unfortunately my polaris died on me so cant test further
unless it escapes that comma

What zimage do u use? I answered the Question for the latest zimage. That doesn't work for me. WIFI can't getting started.
Earlier zimage works with WIFI, but I have to wait for BT working on polaris. Need that for Carkit.

I currently use zImage-19-02-10 with Myn's warm donut release 3. I got to that "ancient zImage because the more recent ones stalled very frequently before getting to Android with message "error waiting for notbusy".
WE have exactly the same hardware, so let me ask you: I'm not aware of any software that can make bluetooth work on my machine. Did you experience any kind of success with yours? If so, which software did you use? Thanks.
No sry. Have not found any build getting BT working. Before Bt isn't working I can't use Android.
As I understand that its a kernel issue to run BT. We have to wait for developer who realizes that for us. The BT-Chip of Polaris has to be supported by kernel.

Exactly. Now the issue is that the guru in this area is Mr. dzo. But dzo is currently focussing on Vogue only, and I'm not aware of any other genious (seriously, not something that anybody in the world would be willing/capable to do) working on it. I've no good idea on how we could "procure" one... any suggestion?

[RELEASE][ALPHA][TOOLKIT] AIO ADB Console w/SCREENCAST

I’m after months of coding and recoding lol since it started in VB.net and I changed to C# I’m finally ready to release an alpha version of my ADB Console to the public below is just a short list of things enabled at the moment and some things to come.
Features:
1. Multiple device support
2. ADB push pull commands
3. Fastboot OEM Lock and Unlock
4. Fastboot HTC Token retrieval and Flashing
5. ADB Package installs and removals
6. Pulling and pushing of Build.prop
7. Screen casting with full keyboard support
8. Fastboot Image flashing
9. Fastboot Erases and hard resets
10. Basic ADB Commands such as rebooting (supports download, bootloader and fastboot)
11. ADB Wifi Connections
REMEMBER this is an ALPHA there are still a lot of bugs please post them in this thread. If you have suggestions or issues feel free to post them here as well. This is far from done there is a lot more to come. Enjoy
Thanks to Regawod for his AndroidLib Dll without which this would not be possible
As of this Alpha the program will be closed source when I release the beta build the source will be released with it as well so others can help with designs and coding.
Not working
Rooting Tab – I have not put in any root exploits yet but they are coming
Screencast- Works on some devices not all, please note ICS Devices work the best, NO support for JB as of yet!!!!!
Screencast- Video saves
I am not responsible for you bricking your device using my Console this can brick it if not used properly.
FLASH RESPONSIBLY if you don’t know what it means DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who downloaded the first rar there is a new version uploaded as of now with fixes to the EXE

Nice dex,
Good job looks good, loving the screencast make sure it clears its cache on close. Change Make: verzion to either Service Provider: or getprop the Make but its come a long way dude. what else you got planned.

[DEV][KERNEL] Let's COMPILE a NEW Kernel FOR HTC ChaCha [a810e / Status]!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42536090&postcount=9
As HTC CHACHA user, We have long stopped relying on HTC to support HTC CHACHA.
Let's get started. Let's compile a new kernel for HTC ChaCha!
Here are my thoughts :
Because I'm not sure which version of linuxkernel is a good start. so let's assume 3.x.xx is the new version.
And the difference between the two versions(chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58 & linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz) is too large,
It may require us to apply the changes manually.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
AM I Correct?
I've been taken this boring part (diff chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.tar.gz linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz),
AND I have already completed. Boring Boring Boring. AND I have checked it again again again.
So you can trust.There are no mistakes. EOL.
https://github.com/Luzifer1984/diff_chacha_kernel
You will find out more information about ChaCha in "kconfig"
Following is the key to transplant:
1.Circumspection: Attitude determines success
2.Skill: Linux Kernel
3.A modicum of luck: Right now we have no more hardware information about HTC ChaCha.
Step1.Transplant Linux kernel
Step2.Integrate and Modify
TOOL
1.Windows: WinMerge OR BeyondCompare
2.Linux: Meld OR BeyondCompare
Potential problems, and possible solutions:
Let's take HTC CHACHA for example.
Differences between linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz and chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.zip caused problems.
when the differences are big to complete files, that seem daunting and maybe even impossible. don't panic when you see that. You must be particularly careful
AND
The following principles should be respected as far as possible:
1. It would be even better if you could copy the hardware-related source code from old version to new version
2. About hardware-related source code, if old version and new version had changed same file (same file name) with different content. then we base the old version.
Because old ones did work. Old hardware-related source code got CHACHA working well.
3. source code unrelated as hardware, We should use the new one. as possible. (kernel's update)
4. if the file is difficult for you to conceive how to deal with , u should MARK and skip it.
Let's get simple tasks done first. And complete some tasks that you are absolutely sure what will happen.
Then come back to deal with the previously skipped files. This part may require us to diff other sources to get the right way.
4.1 reference sources from other devices, like LG Optimus Me P350 /ZTE Blade/ HTC Wildfire S (MSM7227 Armv6 Adreno200)
4.2 kernel.org updated kernel which caused the difference . we should find the difference between linux-3.x.xx.tar.gz & linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz(diff)
About trade secrets and patents involved, I think there is no way to avoid. So let's forget it!
Please think about this idea and let us know what you think.
Does anybody know what i meant? Sorry for my poor English. Maybe you could convey my word meaning and revise this post.
@Adumont You are a good developer. good at English ang Git. expert in android.
Could you lead us to take it further? I like chacha so much.

You might want to change @ adumont part to @adlx.xda
name tool used to "cut" room??
I also want to study more about the room
tkss
I can't be of much help, but check out the Atrix 4G kernel port project. It's goal is identical to this and they made tremendous progress. Obviously it will be different for the ChaCha, but the steps that need to be done will be similar.
Consider contacting the developers behind it.
i can do what ever help i can, but remember i am a newbee with full passion to improve chacha !

You know, all of our problem with chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35 is camera driver... I have worked on chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35 before, but I got no satisfactory result of it. even i used some of other HTC phone's KERNELs, but i exactly got no result. we should just wait till HTC want to do something about this forgotten:crying: phone.

HTC won't do anything.
Also I'm pretty sure that the OP got CM10.1 with fully working camera.
Sent from my HTC Chacha A810 using xda premium
But with this kerenls, we can't make a stable ROM. Htc just talk about android 4.0. I hope that htc will release 4.1 or 4.2 and maybe 4.3 for chacha...

Yes, we can make a stable ROM.
No, they will not release any updates for the chacha.

I've been taken this boring part (diff chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.tar.gz linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz),
AND I have already completed. Boring Boring Boring. AND I have checked it again again again.
So you can trust.There are no mistakes. EOL.

Sorry if I'm reviving an old thread.
I downloaded the three files found on your folder and as I have understood, linux-2.6.35.10.tar.gz + diff.patch = chacha-gb-crc-2.6.35-1643b58.tar.gz, isn't it??

Are experienced with ROM development and with Chacha?
I'm interested to make a new ROM for it but I'm totally new, if you would like that we work together please let me know.
Also regarding the small internal memory for Chacha, how do you overcome it? Link2SD isn't a solution.
Forum Dead?
Has there been any progress made on the kernel builds at all? There are far less phones with a qwerty keyboard that can even run a custom ROM nowdays. Obviously HTC is not supporting the phone anymore anyway, so I think it is about time we had at least a functioning kernel!

Not to be pessimisstic but I guess 4.2.2 is as far as we can get as a stable ROM ajeeval has been working on kit kat according to a post I read but it's way more complicated to achieve a stable version.

(8.4.14) Alright, this is the current status:
- The script was removed due to outdated / non-existant files and links.
- I'm trying to get this project done, but could seriously need some developer's help because our device is not officially supported by CM which makes things even more difficult. (Additionally, I'm busy because of school-stuff :silly: )
- The porting tutorial is easier now, than it used to be: looky-here
Just have a look, maybe you see something I didn't - talk to me (I'm also on Google+, same name)
- You can also post external links from different devices on which UT actually works - maybe that'll help.
- I'm still trying to figure out how to use Github and will most likely give a link to the source, once it's uploaded!
I don't want to let this project die, so let's work together! :fingers-crossed:

Definitely excited about Ubuntu Touch! Have been following the mobile OS since it's launched and think it is pretty cool!
I wish Spii good luck with the build process!
You should ask some moderator to reserve second and third post in your name, if case the project evolves, there might be need for more posts to keep thread clean. Since you didn't reserved them by yourself .

Hey first of all, thanks for creating this :good:
Now to the whole community:
This is my first ROM project, so I am still a beginner! That means everyone is welcome to (try to) help with this, making it as good as possible.
So what are you waiting for, boot your linux pc (or virtual drive) and start downloading and compiling The tutorial, is well explained. If you still have problems, just ask maybe I can help, at least I can try.
About my progress:
I compiled it successfully yesterday and I got a 32MB output, which is smaller compared to others, maybe there is something I forgot.
I tried also to boot from it but it doesnt work, maybe someone with experience can help me finding a solution.
I tried to take a logcat, but somehow it shows my device as "offline".
At the end I would like to thank @dominos_liberty for his fantastic work and several Roms, especially the Cm-10.1, that I use as base!

I'd love to try the whole compiling, but unfortunately I don't have enough disk space because I made my linux partition too small

The device specific part of Ubuntu Touch should be relatively small, as it relies on CM and the preinstalled part (generic). It doesn't have to get big.

Dominos will leave our forum
@dominos_liberty: Hey, I added in 'build/core/main.mk' in the subdirs 'device/htc' but then I get a compilation error:
Code:
No rule to make target 'out/target/product/villec2/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libgenlock_intermediates/export_includes', needed by 'out/target/product/villec2/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/camera.msm8660_intermediates/import_includes
Have you any idea, is the 'device/htc' not needed?

Is your source available anywhere? Seems like a project I might be able to get on board with.
Edit: and by your source, I mean the source you're compiling from right now not the CM10.1 branches
Just a little update about my situation:
As I said, I am a beginner. What does that mean? I cant solve certain problem (making the ROM bootable) on my own, because I have no experiences. I was on the #ubuntu-touch irc-channel (more than once) and the only answer I got was from a guy in a similar situation, with another device, so he coulnd help me.
As you probably know finding answers on google is very time intensive, thats why I was hoping some people from our community would try the same like me -> Trying to compile and doing some experiments, but 'x ZackehSoul x' was the very first one who said that he will also try his luck.
In short: This work is frustrating, but I will try my best, cause I am learning by doing and maybe someday I can present you something that works.
Thanks to the guys who believe in me, but dont expect too much!
@x ZackehSoul x : I found yesterday this thread from the HOX (click me). They got it booting, and there is also a little tutorial wich shows the changes needed. As we have the little brother from the HOX, this may work also for us, but I got some new problems..
As I am experimenting a lot and my upload is slow I wont upload the sources till something works, but you can just follow the guide and if you have problems I will try to help you.
EDIT: As you probably know, 'breakfast villec2' wont work because we dont have an official cm version. You have to enable the device manually (deprecated), showed in the ubuntu wiki!
EDIT 2: @dominos_liberty : I attached the last_kmsg, if you could have a look at it, that would be great!
logcat gives me an error: /sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
Kind regards

I cannot figure out where r u going wrong without seen the source. Although many people wants to work on this project but no one knows what the other is doing. Clearly what I mean is make a github account, fork villec2 repos from my github, make changes required, add proper commits, and then push those commits to your github, and then only I will know where are you going wrong and may be able to help.
Hi all. Can I help you with something?
By the way thanks dominos_liberty for different roms for C2.

The changes I did are all in the tutorial (link in the OP):
- adding local_manifest.xml (with the content you wrote in your compile tutorial)
- deleting the 'nosuid' from the data partition in '/device/htc/villec2/ramdisk/villec2.fstab'
- adding some configs in the 'kernel/htc/villec2/arch/arm/configs/villec2_defconfig'
- adding 'vendor/htc \' in 'build/core/main.mk'
@m.lekski and the rest: You can try to compile by following the guide and then debugging...

Agreed.
I might set up a GitHub for the project just based off the initial Ubuntu port stuff to give everyone a base without going through the basics.

[Q] [NEEDS HELP] Creating ROM for Ace Plus

Hello.
Right now as I am typing this message, the source files for Cyanogenmod 11.0 are being synced to my computer, and I am trying to make a build for our device. I have a few questions though that would affect my development:
1) On a guide I was reading (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060017), it says "MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON OFFICIAL LATEST CYANOGENMOD ROM". But trebon isn't officially supported. Would it still work if I put in trebon, or do I need to do other steps?
2) Do I have to code something after downloading the Android sources, or do I just have to build it instantly?
Any help on these would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to create a ROM for our device if I can get the help I need, since I have nothing better to do anyway.
Thanks!

2) What's the minimum RAM requirement for Cyanogenmod? If OmniROM or AOKP is lighter, I would switch sources.
2) Do I have to code something after downloading the Android sources, or do I just have to build it instantly?
Any help on these would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to create a ROM for our device if I can get the help I need, since I have nothing better to do anyway.
Thanks!
EDIT: After doing some research, I switched to AOKP instead of Cyanogenmod 11 because it is lighter. Apparently, according to the Cyanogenmod 11 Google+ post, they require a minimum of 512MB RAM, which our phone does not have. Syncing right now is AOKP source code. If some people would like to help me make a build, I would appreciate it if you would answer the questions above.

me :good:.. i want to help
Thanks, Androidoo.
To anyone who wonders, I got some help from @streambinder and right now I just finished downloading the Cyanogenmod 11 sources. I'll be whipping up a new build within the week and would love to have other users test it out for me (if I ever get to finish it). I've been using TheWhisp's sources for Cyanogenmod 11 for Galaxy Mini and when the ROM I built goes live, I'll be sure to upload it here and give him credits for his sources.
I need a little help here, possibly from @giugiu19 @smartandroidtech @streambinder

I think you must refer this guide as it is much more detailed.

If you have any question then you can ask the OP of that guide.

Thanks kk9999gada! I'll take a look at that.
Success! I've managed to make a build with no errors.
I'll be testing this now, and if all goes well, expect a release soon!

It's finals week in the university, so I'm putting it on hold. On Friday I will resume development. I have a logcat ready here and I'm studying it to figure out the problem. I'm 99% sure this is a problem with the kernel, probably a broken module.
If anyone's interested, I have a working copy of the ROM, but WiFi and Camera doesn't work yet. If you want I can upload the ROM. I'm doing a project for school right now. After I finish (in about 1 more hour), I'll upload some screenshots of my ROM.
Here are the screenshots of the ROM I built:

Uploading a build right now (the one where camera and WiFi doesn't work yet). I'm also downloading a new kernel build to my PC to experiment with (kernel 3.4.x from TheWhisp's jenad build).
