Im trying to understand why ANT+ does not work on any of the custom ROMS.
Do custom ROMs use different kernels which do not have the drivers for the ANT+ chipset?
Or is it something about Android that lacks the ANT+ support unless provided by SEs ROM?
Does Android as such not come with a kernel and complete ANT+ support, like it would be the case with Linux?
If it would be Linux, you would just need the module and load it, why isn't it that easy with Android?
Same doubt here!
I also have the same quastion. i know that we need to install ANT Radio Service but on any other rom bisedes the oficial SE it does not even run.
ant+ is now working on miniCM7-2.1.3

I realize that one can run and install linux on an android device (which is running it's own kernel on top of android's kernel), so wouldn't it be just as possible to run a factory kernel on top of a modded kernel to regain access to device specific features that only the factory kernel can currently utilize (4g, 3d cameras, etc.)? As far as I understand, linux has access to those features and can interface with them (whether it can do anything with them is another topic, but...), so wouldn't this be a viable solution to make custom ICS, JellyBean, Cyanogenmod roms work 100% with each device? Sorry for the lack of specific technical mumbo-jumbo lingo, just a newbie brainstorming here.
Hi. I am happy that my old Smultron is not dead yet.
Due to its small size, I would like to reactivate it as a bicycle computer / fitness tracker. The apps that I usually use require Lollipop as a minimum.
I seem to remember that I half-heartedly tried the same already about a year ago, but did not succeed with installing the ANT+ services from the Playstore.
Currently, I am at CM13.
Now I found that in the AOKP FAQ, it is stated:
Q: Why is ANT+ not working?
A: ANT+ developers do not support our wifi chip (wl1271) beyond JB 4.1. ANT+ will never work except if we write the needed source code changes from scratch.
That leads me to the qestion: Is this true for all ROMs, or just AOKP? Or more in general: Which ROMs supports ANT+?
Umm... noone knows this?

All Stock based GB and ICS ROMs afaik.
Dunno about JB and KK ROMs
Hi,
Since we have a custom USB device for which we want to write drivers, we would like to know which of the latest Android tablets is most recommended for kernel modification and works well with most of custom ROMS?
Thank you.
Hello everybody. I love this community and I have been lurking for a long time.
I have noticed on a foreign language forum that some people were offering a custom rom for my android 9 TV box.
The chinese box is based on a s905x3 CPU and has a mediatek wifi chip for which it is hard (if not impossible to find the wifi drivers).
The site claims that the image was made by modifying the stock rom that came with the box. Is this possible or do all custom roms need to be build from the source?
The custom rom I want to make is going to replace the launcher with kodi.
I am prepared to build the whole rom from source but I do have a couple of questions.
Since the mediatek wifi drivers cannot be found how would I go about including the binary for the wifi?
I have noticed that the box that I have uses a .ko (kernel object) module to drive the wifi chip.
Can I include these kernel objects in build? It is a shame that the kernel is built as a 32bit system. Would that mean that I can only compile a 32bit kernel if I were to reuse those kernel modules and binaries?
Another idea is to perhaps use the kernel from coreelec in my build since it seems to include a lot of drivers.
Is it possible to use a kernel from something like coreelec but use the source from AOSP for the rest of my build?
Is there anything else that I should be aware of?
Thank you all!!!!
Can anyone give me any hints to any of the questions?
Essentially I want to swap out the stock launcher for Kodi. What is the easiest way to do so?
Hello friends
As you can see, we download Linux and install it on laptops and tablets with completely different hardware. And we see that after installation, we do not need to download and install any drivers.
Is there an Android firmware - Android ROM that can be installed on all smartphones and use all its features?
Can non-official developers produce such an Android? Especially now that the internal memory of phones is 128 GB or more?
There are GSI ROMs. They can run on any Project Treble supported device. However, some things don't work. For example, there is no Sony camera DRM implementation in official AOSP, so the Sony phone camera won't work on GSI. If you want to use a GSI, I recommend trying Phh-Treble.
Also, when I set up my Microsoft Surface on Linux, I had to mess around with kernel modules to get the touchscreen to work. So, Linux does require some configuration depending on your hardware.

Thanks for answering my question.
Please tell me is there any pre-rooted version of GSI?
I think it must available pre-rooted because maybe we need install drivers and reconfigure system files.
