Hi everyone,
Excuse my noobness....
But I would like the compile some extra drivers for devices such as webcams and usb ethernet adapters, and I haven't (yet) found where to get the sources/configs from.
Thanks!
My github, for example: github.com/mblaster
Excellent! Thanks

Hey,
so I've just started compiling a kernel for my HTC Desire S and I'm a little bit confused about the different kernel sources.
As far as I know, there is basically at least one kernel source for each device (htcdev lists different sources for different devices, for example). Why is that? Aren't the only differences between the devices the different hardware? So couldn't they put all driver sources into the source tree and just supply a different .config for each device? I guess the x86 arch is build that way, isn't it?
What am I missing here?
~Thanks
Hi everyone!
I have a rooted Galaxy S2 i9100 with ICS 4.0.3
Kernel version is 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+
I just bought a USB-ethernet adapter, and I'm trying to make it work with my i9100.
The chipset on the adapter is a MCS7830, and I found the drivers for Linux kernel 3.x here:
( asix.com.tw / FrootAttach / driver / MCS783x_Linux_driver_v1.11.zip ) - sorry, I can't post links yet.
When I plug the adapter, the android recognizes it, but it doesn't generate an eth0 nor an usb0 connection on netcfg.
I've found on other threads that it could be a driver fault, and a possible solution would be to build these drivers as a kernel module. Is it possible? I'm trying to build a .ko module for it, but I still can't even handle the "hello_world.ko". I'd really appreciate and be thankful if someone could build a .ko for this driver.
Thank you in advance!
Any ideas?
Just to let you guys know, I just did it. I'll try to post a tutorial as soon as possible to help people that might have faced the same issues with similar dongles.
I recompiled the needed drivers as modules ("make modules") with the ARM compiler that comes with the Android NDK;
Set up the .config and Makefile from SiyahKernel 5.0.1+ with some values;
Pushed the modules to my phone and loaded manually the modules.
Siyah Kernel actually has many drivers (including other usb-ethernet chipsets)! Learning how to compile specific drivers as modules might be useful for many people.
nice to know that there is someone how found a solution. please post a detailed tutorial! I am desperately trying to get this work for 3 weeks now, without success. i ordered different usb-ethernet-adapters from amazon, i have just 5 days left to send them all back...
a tutorial would be very helpful! btw: does your solution only work with the siyah-kernel or with every kernel on a rooted phone?
thanx in advance, alex

Hello all. Im trying to find some assistance from a developer. I have been attempting to compile a kernel for my SCH-i605 that has the usb wifi drivers for Ralink RT5370 chipset. I have been beating my head against the wall attempting this. This is my first attempt at building a kernel and quite frankly i'm overwhelmed at this point... I was wondering if a developer would be able to assist me in trying to build this kernel or point me to a guide that would be able to show me how to do this? I dont need anything fancy just a AOSP kernel with these drivers added to it... I am currently using 4.2.2 PacMan Rom (which I love).
hello all
i like to develop since 9 years old. Actually i am 24. I don't understand well the basics of Android and propietary devices. I used to install CM on all my family's devices, but always unofficial builds and not selfKANGs. Since 1 week ago, I am trying to build the the CM's 11.0 with no luck. Then i went to official google's developers site of android, and finally i got a system compiled and ready to install.
but now, before to push the flashing key, i am doubting about all... i mean, there'r a lot of steps I havent done:
1. obtain propietary binaries from my actual installation
2. not sure about if built the correct official version or compatible for samsung galaxy s iii (gt-9300)
3. i just wanted to add support for a S3C USB Host HUB for connecting my keyboard and mouse into my S3's micro-usb port.
so, now that i have obtained a lot of curiosity about that world, i want to learn more and more... but haven't anything clear at all.
then, can you please answer me the following questions?
1. why everyone is installing CM in S3? And not official android version?
2. how can I configure and add support to my USB host hub into the correct version of the kernel for the actual 4.4 KitKat software (CM-11.0) of my S3's?
3. can you explain me why can't I compile CM-11 or CM-10.2 with my Ubuntu Server 14.04 ? Lot of errors...
I would have more time to ask and ask, but I need to stop here.
Thanks to all for all the information in the posts I have read until now. And for the future's ones.
See ya,
Abel.
Since xiaomi released the source code for redmi 3's kernel, we can make a custom kernel. If possible, i need help making a kernel that supports HID USB Keyboard & Mouse support.
Here is the link to the person teaching how to make a kernel that supports HID USB keyboard:
github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
I've never had any experience making or modifying kernels. So any help would be appreciated.
Also i found a thread teaching how to make a kernel from source, but i am too inexperienced to extract useful info:
en.miui.com/thread-293285-1-1.html
Any kind of help is appreciated.:fingers-crossed:
