[Q] Help with updating 8192cu.ko Wireless Driver - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a JXD S5110, the wireless card is a Realtek RTL8188CUS, running the 8192cu.ko driver.
At this point I also know several android devices ran this driver, not sure which ones other than the Raspberry Pi, and what version the driver was on them or on currently on mine, don't have all the cmds compiled and installed to check versions or modules
Currently running [ROM] JXD S5110 Rabid ROM v1.0 (ICS)
The last thing I do know is the driver is on realteks site, attached the source zip file from their site.
The main part I'm stuck on is this is a chinese tablet so I'm not sure if I can just compile the driver in a generic android environment or if it has to be specific to the device, if it has to be specific to the device then I need help finding a touchscreen driver to make this all work, since most of the other chipsets are standard (i.e. ARM, and a USB controller).
Or is there an easier way of just compiling it on the device itself?

[Q] urukdroid with hauppauge wintv aero dvb-t

hi.
i wish to get my dvbt dongle working in urukdruid, i own a hauppauge wintv aero.
the driver i loaded is smsusb which should be fine, because under opensuse 11.4 it works great witch this module, and like in opensuse i copied the right firmware from hauppauges side into
/lib/firmware.
dmesg recognized the stick, but by loading the firmware causes an error in dmesg:
...
usb 2-1: firmware: requesting sms1xxx... .fw
init: untracked pid 1565 exited
smscore_set_device_mode: firmware download success: sms1xxx....fw
the end is that there are no devices like /dev/dvb0* or else and no tuner available
lsmod | grep dvb
does only give me
dvb_core
dvb_usb
while lsmod sais that
smsusb
smsmdtv
are loadet. someone any ideas?
another problem is that urukdroid sometimes freezes by pluggin in the dvbt dongle!
thnk you for reading!
If your device is not supported by the linux kernel, it probably won't work. Check the list here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices
Also, you can't really use the same drivers on an Android device from a Desktop/Laptop/Netbook due to differences in hardware. At least, that's my limited knowledge. Good luck!
sure...
but the drivers i use are build by sauron for urukdroid dvbt usage, and they are similar named like the drivers for opensuse so i guess they are te same only build for urukdroid kernel.
i think i use the right modules and the problem depends on the firmware implemetation, what i read is that its possible to use a firmware that didnt come with urukdroid.
i think it should work im using linux now for years, the problem is not the wrong module or firmware, both should work in urukdroid, the problem seems for me to be anywhere else.
maybe usb or kernel itself im not sure.
any more ideas to solve that?
sauron where are you?
btw not all devices that work are listet on the page! it doesent depent on the modell it depends on firmware and build in chip...
my modell isnt listet i know but with the firmware at /lib/firmware it works out of the box, driver is in kernel.

[q] how to get firmware and hardware info on china brands

Hi all, I'm from the Philippines and I currently bought a China tablet called TORQUE - DROIDZ FLASH. I want to root this tablet and install ROMS on it but How do I retrieve full info of the tablet with regards to Firmware, Hardware, Kernel, Original Manufacturer and other important information that may be used for a smooth rooting process and Rom installations.
The tablet doesn't have a developers config for debugging usb access... But when mounting USB drives, and using ADB, the tool has detected the device as 20080411...
I have used UNLOCK ROOT application for windows, and it detects it as Unknown Android Device, and when rooting it displays the message "Device already Rooted, Do you want to root again?"
If this is the case, I just needed to install CWM recovery (but how?) and determine the correct ROM to install...
Can anyone help me on this?
settings
as per my knowledge on android OS we need to Go to Setting > about phone > and we able to see the complete information of your tab like android version , kernal information etc

Chinese tablets and smartphones usually are created on the popular soc (system on chip). In many china markets like pandawill, aliexpress, etc there are more or less complete desciptions for china devices. In this information you can find processor name/series. From another sources you can find usb drivers for this processor. After installation you can debug your Android app on your china-noname tablet. I have Freelander DP10, based on mtk6575. After unpack device from box, it was not "visible" by ps. After installation mtk65xx drivers (found somewhere in internet) i can debug app on my device. Hope, you can do the same.
Some sources says, that you have Rockchip 1.2 MHz processor. There are a lot of Rockchip usb drivers available

[Q] Usb Ethernet Adapter (Driver Compile Requested For Money)

Greetings....
(This post is regarding my Nook Touch, however; as I believe the development setup is the same as a Nook Tablet, I am posting here also)
I am hoping to get my Asix Usb to Ethernet adapter working with my nook STG. I believe the only remaining requirement is to compile the drivers for it (which are android 2.x compatible according to the driver manufacturer website).
I am rooted and have 'usb host mode' successfully working.
When my adapter is plugged in, it displays as a 'connected device' in my Usb Host information app and shows the details; make/model etc - so its connected successfully.
It works plugnplay with my other droid devices, however in these devices there is an Asix driver folder in /sys/bus/usb/drivers and there is not in my Nook, thus I believe i simply need to compile the drivers which will create the Asix driver folder.
There are no errors displayed in Terminal Emulator after a typing "dmesg" once connected.
If you have the correct setup and can compile the drivers for me (and potentially other Nook users), i will exchange them for => 10GPB or 10 of your currency, via your desired means.
I was trying myself on an ubuntu vm in windows but have had to stop due to eye troubles; hence trying to use a Nook eink as my sole computer.
INFO:
Device: Nook STG firmware 1.21 - kernel source file link = images.barnesandnoble.com/PResources/download/Nook/source-code/nook2_1-2.tgz
Adapter Driver: Asix AX88772 - driver source file link = www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88772C_772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.11.0_Source.tar.bz2
Adapter Info: BobjGear Adapter made for Android Tablets = www.amazon.co.uk/BobjGear-Ethernet-Exceptions-Description-Ultrabooks/dp/B007RTACDM
Other info: An XDA thread compiling the same drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37548841
I don't know how to apply the drivers so I need to learn how to do so, I have ADB set up and have Noogie, CWM and NookManager .img also.

Combining the Android on Intel project with my manufacturer's source code

Hi,
I have a Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 10". It comes in two variants, the Windows version with a 32gb disk, and an Android version with a 16gb disk. From everything I can find out, those is the only difference between the two.
Because of projects like Android on Intel and Console OS I decided to buy the windows version with an intent of developing a dual boot tablet.
So, so far I have started the build process of the Intel baytrail target, and it has been running for a couple hours. everything is looking good though.
Next I am trying to build lenovo's kernel sources Located here for my tablet but had problems as I did not have the NDK and when I tried to install it on my debian wheezy machine, it complained about glibc being the wrong version, so I have to upgrade to sid to get glibc 2.17.
Anyway, my real question is, I can figure out how to build the Intel android installer, and I can figure out how to build a kernel, but How do I combine them?
The Intel make command, seems to build the kernel into some kind of installer, that then installs a bootlader (droidboot) and the rom on the tablet.

Wifi drivers installation on Android x86

Hello xda users,
I had to make that post cause I have lot of issues cause that. I'm using a modded version of Android x86, but also the same base doesn't contains drivers for my wifi interface. I have a laptop with a realtek wifi interface that I could install its drivers with the make command on linux, but in Android I don't know how to do that. The Su user doesn't contains that commands, and if I try to use it with Termux, probably I'll have problems due to the less permissions. Somebody knows how to make that with that driver on Android x86?
