(Q) Modules for Wifi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe this is a easy solvable problem, but i tried and googled and could solve it. So...
Im trying to compile a wifi module for evervolv kernel...i have the source, also toolchain. Im using ubuntu, and i have problems extracting toolchains path to kernel directory.I have all necessery tools.
Filesystem->android->toolchain folder and kernel source folder -- this is the location of my files (computer name is AcaPC).
And im using this *export PATH=$HOME/android/toolchain-4.6.3/bin:$PATH* (i tried AcaPC for HOME), but im getting error that my path is not correct. I download the source many times and tried everything, but cant get the path correct. Can someone tell me what am i doing wrong?
Thanks!

Compiling AOSP from source

Hiya I am interested in compiling my own version of the android project from the latest sources for Hero but I am having a little bit of trouble, I have been attempting to follow this guide android.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=301857&view=findpost&p=1179830 but it does not seem to make a lot of sense to me. For instance there is no .repo/local_manifest.xml file only a .repo/manifest.xml file and editing this as outlined gives me an error. Could somebody point me in the direction of a fairly noob friendly guide for this kind of stuff, thanks a lot.

P.S Sorry about the dodgy link, newbie restrictions prevented me from formatting it properly
this should be in Q&A Section not development really. But im looking for this too! installed ubuntu using Wubi set up JDK,SDK testsign etc and repo but god knows how to do it all! I only want to port cyanogenROM
follow this: http://source.android.com/download
when you got everything synced you can basically type "make" and watch it compile for a while. i managed to do it with just above zero knowledge about compiling.
if you want the cyanogen sources try it with the according repo. i have zero idea about vendor overlays, as i needed to compile only the recovery (watched two hours of eclair compiling, then was told i need cupcake sources and can compile the recovery only...)
Yes I am aware of how to get sources and how to compile them, I am fairly well versed in linux. But I do not know how I can compile it into a usable rom for hero.
the result of the compiling are image files that can be flashed to the phone: system.img etc. you can extract them using unyaffs.
I ran the make command, but i really have no idea what to do from there. What is the end result of doing the first make command? Im fairly sure that it is not a single .img file you can flash onto your phone. You need to make a kernal if i am correct(anyone know how to do this?)
the result of the compiling is at least a system.img. if you compiled it correctly you can flash that to /system partition. further you need a boot.img, which also contains the kernel. the the rom-cooking howto in dev section how to create one, or just get one from a working rom.
fwiw, the .img files are in out/target/product/generic/ (although there probably is a device specific directory in there if you handled the vendor overlay correctly. <- this is just a guess, i have actually no idea).
Wanna link us to that how to thread? I cant seem to find a complete one with working links.

[Q] [SOLVED] How to Modify/Recompile/Rebuild a Kernel

Hi everyone.
I'd really like to know the steps to modify, recompile and finally build a kernel zip to flash on our O1.
For instance, I'm downloading the ThunderG Kernel from mik_os here: https://github.com/mik9/ThunderG-Kernel
But I really dont know how to procede.
The programming language seems to be C++, but...
Which compiler should I use to compile it?
The source code is 100+ Mb sized, how can I build the kernel in a simple zip to let me flash it through custom recovery?
I'm really new to all this, I've little experience in C/C++/Java programming, and I'd really like to know how to procede.
An example of initial use I'm interested in, is summing up various fixes from different kernel's and make a unique kernel to flash on my phone.
For the real example:
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941
plus this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11166426&postcount=47 (waiting for source from the author)
I'd be really glad to see a newbie (not completely ^^) step-by-step guide doing everything from Windows platform.
I already read other topics on this argument, but none of them had a real guide that could be useful to anyone.
I want to thank you in advance
I'm interested too!

That's not the problem, I already installed Ubuntu other times, but I did a complete format these days and I'm not planning to install it anymore for now.
I still believe that I dont need it to compile a C/C++ source
I'd like to know the steps so I can say it surely.
If Linux is absolutely needed, I just want to know
I thing, that it can be possible compile on other system (cygwin + compilers, library, ...) but you will must download huge dependent software/library/source code. It probably will have same size as whole system :-/
Ok you convinced me, let's say I want to do it on ubuntu, could someone make a guide for everyone?
that would be great!

I use gcc for compiling stuff. How to turn the compiled stuff into a package (for flashing) however, is what I don't know

The ThunderG package includes a lot of things, do I have to compile the "kernel" folder only to build a kernel for flash?
I really don't know how to procede... ^^

No, especially the kernel source code makes heavily use of filename case sensitivity.
In linux abcd.e and abcD.e are different files- in windows they are not.
Extract a linux Kernel in windows and you will see what I mean.
So even if you got the cross compilers and libs together you will not be able to compile the kernel.
Cygwin is a way- but you could also run XUbuntu with VirtualBox which easier.
The best and fastest is a native linux system.

Get the android ndk, extract it and append the folder with "arm-eabi-gcc" to your system path (export PATH=$PATH:"$NDKPATH/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin").
Extract Thunderg_Kernel.tar.gz, go to the directory and run "make thunderg-perf_defconfig" that will create a .config for the kernel. Or grab your O1 config from /proc/config.gz (per adb, ftp server app, copy with file manager to sd card...) and move it to $kerneldir/.config.
Have a look at "make menuconfig" and then try "make zImage".
Maybe you must install a few dependencies with synaptic (when you are using ubuntu).

Load mik_os' touchscreen fixed kernel and extract the zip file.
Delete the cert* and manifest* files under META-INF.
Change the zImage under Kernel maybe the kernel modules (system/lib/modules) too.
ZIP it all together again (directory structure must be the same as in mik_os' zip).
To sign read this: http://www.robmcghee.com/android/creating-an-android-update-zip-package/
or this: http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
hello, first of all to compile a kernel you need to config this kernel (enabling the drivers you are intersted in, kernel tweaks... and so on)
to do that (on linux) go to your kernel directory and run this command
make menuconfig
this would run the gui config for the kernel where you can configure the kernel.
anyway every board or device has it's own configureations os the kernel can handel the hw on this device you can start gussing what are the right configurations for the P500 which is not an option at all hehehe
or you can use the predefind config included in the Thunderg kernel
to use that config go to the kernel folder and run this command
make thunderg-perf_defconfig
this command will configure the kernel with the predefind configuration
after that you need to compile the kernel using a cross platform compiler, the machine you are working on is x86 but P500 mobile have an ARM cpu so you can't just compile the kernel for your machine and run it on the mobile to do that find a cross compiler on the net (i use the CodeSourcery) then compile your kernel using this command
make CROSS_COMPILE={path to the corss compiler bin}
after finishing the compile process (first time it would take a while) you will find a file called "zImage" which is the kernel for the ARM cpu under the directory arch/arm/boot inside your kernel directory
then to flash that image to your device you need to create your own ROM and sign it then flash it using the coustom recovery.
hopt that this info is useful and sorry for any wrong information
Thanks everyone
I found out that android ndk solution was much easier and straightforward.
Now I've my zImage ready in "ThunderG-Source/arch/arm/boot/" directory (not in the kernel directory as waleedq stated?).
Now I cant understand the meaning of "signing" my kernel to a custom ROM, I'm using the custom recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483
I've read the two articles above about signing an application .apk to your rom and generate an update package.
But here I dont have an apk but a zImage which I really dont know how to use ^^
Isn't there a way to directly create the kernel update zip file and flash it with custom recovery?
P.S. Surfing on the web I found this link, might be useful to someone: part1: http://lazydroid.com/2010/06/how-to-compile-kernel-part-1/ part2: http://lazydroid.com/2010/06/how-to-compile-kernel-part-2/ It just explains what you have already explained though

Read my post more thoroughly (I have edited it)
Yeah I did understand what you wrote in that reply, just was wondering what is "signing" actually, but I found out when doing it
Now I've my signed kernel update to flash
I used the SignApk jar program to do it, it's fast and I've everything already done and ready for future signing (certificate and key must not be remade each time as far as I see, I just need to sign each new zip with the already present certificate/key).
Thank you everyone, now I'm finally done with this request, it's solved
Side Question to waleedq: will you publish the code of your workaround for axis inversion? I'm curious which source file handle these things, should be /drivers/input/touchscreen/mcs6000_ts.c, am I wrong?

[Q] To all Dev's who would help... Compiling Kernel error

Hey Guys,
i don't know, if someone other than me have had this error in the past. I searched on Google and on XDA, but I didn't found something compairing to my Error.
I'm new to kernel compiling, so I don't have some information...please don't hit me that I'm doind something like this as my first time ! I want to learn how a kernel is going to be compiled. And as extra kick, it would be great if i can make my custom kernel for just my needs on my SE 2010 X10 Mini Pro
I read slade_87's Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382917
I did all, setting up the Environment. Because of my slow Internet Connection, iI don't want to download the whole Android source, so I'm using this Toolchain https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription3053. I'm doind all in a virtual Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32bit in Vmware player 3.1.4 build-385536.
I copied the standart config from /arch/arm/configs/semc_mimmi/defconfig to .config, like in the Turtorial. I also made "ARCH=arm make menuconfig", no Problem. I didn't change anythine, because I thought I could make a mistake in the config, i just wanted to build the original source, to see if I can get this to work for some Experiments.
The Problem is when I'm executing the compile-command itself. When I'm entering "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/android/kernel/arm-cc/bin/arm-none-eabi- make". After some lines....2-5 seconds or so.... i keep getting the error on the last few line in my attachment. I tried the cyanogenmod-kernel source, diffrent kernel source file from SE but i keep getting the same error, not on the same line, but always in linux/include/pagemap.h
I'm not so good in C, I'm some kind of BASIC junkie so i'm having quite a horror with C. But i thought, the Devs here, slade_87/doxian/D4rKn3sSyS/paul-xxx, don't have such simple errors, or they do know a way, how to get through this.
Could someone look at this ? Do you know a way of direction, where the error is coming ? I think, because it's always the same with different kernel source files, the errors on my side... but i can't think of any....
Thanks in Advance,

Are Tablet S ICS DVB-T Modules (.ko files) available ?

I'm trying to get together all the files I need to have a go at getting a DVB-T tuner working with the Tablet S - I have all the DVB-T modules, but for a lower kernel revision, and from what I've read they probably wont work with this kernel.
I'm really not looking forward to compiling these myself as I use Windows 7 and am aware that there are issues with compiling Linux on a Windows system and being new to Android/Linux cross compiling I could cause myself more problems than I solve.
So the question is, has anyone got info on a repository for these modules compiled for ICS at our kernel revision?
Have you seen this?

Hi Kulen,
Thanks, I'll fix that link. The files i uploaded are just more compiled kernel modules, you'll need to use the tar -xvzf flag to unzip them as it was a bigger tar file than xda would allow. They're compiled from the kernel sources available from Sony...I don't have the link to the sources at the moment, but if you search the forums you'll be able to find it. The modules are loaded with insmod, the same way as before, yes. I have no idea how one would go about putting these to use but it seems like in addition to the kernel module you'll need a driver and perhaps more kernel modules for an ARM architecture that will work with the 2.6.39.4 kernel version. Looking at the avermedia's website, the support they give is for an x86 architecture so you may be out of luck unless somebody can help you out over here:

Well, thank you.
You are really fast and willing to help.
I did make this tuner work with linux mint on x86. Actually my friend Google did it mostly, so I'm not sure what I did any more. It was a long time before and I'm not very familiar with linux.
This is what Avermedia site says for both x86 and x64 driver:
"The following distributions, with their stock kernel, are officially tested and supported:
1. Open SuSE Linux 10.3
2. Mandriva Linux 2008
3. Fedora Core Release 6
4. Fedora Core Release 7

9. Mandriva Linux 2009

I guess I should find some generic ARM driver that works with my tuner?
Is there a way to batch insmod (all at once) all this modules? something like insmod *.ko?
Do I need all those modules? How do I find that out?
Hi there,
You're welcome, I'm happy to help.
In order to load all modules within a directory (and its respective sub-directories), try:
Code:
su
cd /data/local/kmods
find . -name "*.ko" -exec insmod {} \;
[\CODE]
Or just
[CODE]
su
find /data/local/kmods/ -name "*.ko" -exec insmod {} \;
[\CODE]
I'm not sure what kernel modules you'll need, but I would look at the #include files in the driver and/or ask the people over in the forum that you listed who work on these tuners specifically. Perhaps some people from the arm-based rasperry pi community might be working on this type of thing too.
Good luck,

Thanks for answer, again!
I already solved problem "insmoding" them all at once by making a script for them all as you showed me in your kernel modules thread.
At first it seems not all of them are insmoded. "no such file or directory" error. But at second script run it seems they are insmoded. I guess they are dependent on each other and need to be insmoded at right order? I also guess "file exists" means it's already insmoded?
Some of them return "exec format error" which, Google suggests, mean they are not for ARM?
anyhow nothing happens when I plug in my tuner.
I'll have to do a research starting where you sugessted but I'm setting my expectations low.
Terminal transcript of running script 3 times is in attachment. (I'll upload it later, can't do it from xda app - DONE)

some of them have dependencies and others may not be compatible with our hardware even if we can build them. all of the modules are built in the same way but there may be issues due to some modules being built-in to the kernel - I don't know how those sorts of conflicts are resolved. another way to go would be to build the whole kernel again.
I would keep loading the modules until the output from insmod stops changing as you've done...or look up the dependency tree and load them in order. your way is easier.

Hi Kulen,
I managed to get my dongle working in Ubuntu with the correct kernel revision after a lot of hair pulling - when i tried to cross compile the modules for ARM, the compiler crashed and trashed my Linux installation, after trying for days to restore my system, i had to resort to a re-install and have not attempted anything since.
I got all my info here :-
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Sorry I can not be more helpful, but I see a lot of guys on here chipping in with very useful information - hopefully you'll succeed where I failed.
PS - I might just get back into this again.
I can't say thanks enough for all help I got here.
@abactor_xda
I tried all modules you posted. since some of them are in both archives I tried first those from one archive, then from another. I extracted all and then I copied ones and other over them, and then the other way. I wanted to be sure they all are there. And then I used commands you taught me. I insmoded them 5-6 times to be sure, but some modules were not insmoded. some with that exec error and some with no file error.
and nothing happened in any case.
but here we come to another problem. I'm not sure how to check it. I use Droid TV app and it says:
" Sorry, no device found or device acces denied. This application NEEDS a working DVB device, plugged into your Android device and set up with drivers, firmware and correct permissions. Make sure that these prerequirements are met and try again."
I also get some massage from android system that connected USB device is unsupported or unreckognized or something like that.
any idea how could I see which modules are/are not activated when I plug DVB tuner?
and thanks for your help again.
@praed0r
which DVB tuner do you have?
compiling and all the other programming stuff is, unfortunately, way too much for me, so I have to rely to help from good people.
Hey Kulen,
I'm sorry to hear that didn't work. Though I had a feeling that would be the case as I also had issues trying to load those modules.
I have a feeling the modules need to be adapted somewhat before being compiled or a special driver written.
Otherwise run "dmesg" from the terminal after you plug in the device. Maybe this info would be useful to someone who knows about this stuff (unfortunately that's not me
If you do find out how to adapt these modules, I can try to compile them.

well thanks again.
I can make dmesg by help of google. but that's about maximum of my developing competence.
I guess I have to give up on this, unless some "good soul" shows up here and give us a solution.
I will post dmesg in cca. 10 days, cause I don't have tablet with me now and wait...
it'll be a pity if all abactor_xda's unselfish work was for nothing

Kernel compiled from source breaks wifi

Hi I am new to kernel tweaking. I am trying to compile the kernel for Xiaomi redmi 5a for latest miui stock rom from source located at
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/riva-o-oss
After flashing the boot image created with compiled kernel , everything except wifi works.
Google search revealed that it is a common issue and one suggestion is to put the wil6210.ko (wifi related) file from compiled kernel in to system/lib/modules which doesn't work.
What confuses me even more is that even in if I delete the wil6210.ko from system/lib/module when the stock kernel is running , the wifi still works . It Seems like this kernel module has no effect on wifi.
But deleting the vendor/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko breaks wifi for stock kernel that came with the rom.
But compiling the kernel from source doesn't generate such files.
one related info at https://github.com/Genom-Project/android_kernel_xiaomi_vince-3.18/issues/2
I found a guide at https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Ke...#download-qualcomm-android-enablement-project that talks about wifi module.
The download seems to be to big and maybe too many unnecessary files will be downloaded. Tried to init and sync the repo. It seems huge. So if nothing else works will try this.
https://github.com/supercairos/android_device_xiaomi_land/issues/1#issuecomment-259458071 seems to provide a shortcut technique. It asks to download the prima folder from https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/...opensource/wlan/prima/tree/?h=LA.UM.5.3_rb1.1 (I can replace the h value to my kernels tag) , merge it into the source and then compile it to generate the prima_wlan.ko . I did so and also added CONFIG_PRONTO_WLAN=m ( m to compile as module) but such file is not being generated after compiling.
So please, if anyone went through something similar , help me with your recommendations.,
try lineage os aarch64 cumpiler and try prima wlan driver
u can use this https://github.com/baunilla/android...mmit/b7e6d4e6aed50d8ae652f292235be1398be5f344
