Help with porting a linux driver to android [Beginner] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I've recently bought a Neo g4 android tv pc.
The problem is that it doesn't have an Ethernet port, and my Wi-Fi is pretty slow.
So I bought an extra USB to Ethernet adapter, which has Linux support.
Now I want to port it to android.
I have a rooted device with busybox installed.
Can anyone explain me how to do this?
But beware, I am an absolute beginner, and I have no Linux or command prompt experience.
The source code of the Linux driver of the device I am trying to port is attached.
Thank you,
Sean

got any news on that?

Nope... so I contacted the manufacturer and he said there will be new firmware out next week, in which this adapter will work.

I found this link, I'll try to follow these steps and let you know if I have any success on that.

[Q] Update with a mac

I realize this question was asked back in May, and once later on (at least that's what my search found). I have a iMac running Tiger. I rooted my phone last night, but would really love to get DJ_Steve's version. I have a brand new streak running 1.6. and I'm locked into AT&T.
Has anyone found a way to do this with a Mac? My computer, although running great, is too old to get bootcamp, and I don't know anyone with a windows computer that I can use. Their either virus infested, or locked up because they are computers from their work.
Thanks for any help.

Just had the same problem. Did not find the information anywhere, but I discovered there is a usb receiver in the bottom of the mouse. Remove it and plug it into a usb port on the box and voila.

Msi Enjoy 7 plus ADB drivers or usb drivers

Hi can anyone help me? I've installed the official usb drivers for MSI enjoy 7 plus (from msi web site), but my PC does not recognize them.

MeeGoPad T07 -> Android Possible?

Hello to you all!
I have got a new Meegopad T07 and I thought it would somehow be possible, to install android on ist.
I already heard of people experimenting with Remix OS, but it has problem with sound and wifi.
My idea was to get a android Image from a device, that has the same processor. The Meegopad has a Intel X5 Z8300. I looked and found a Tablet PC: Teclast X16 Pro. For this device I also found a costom firmware on this side: Ask me for the link because I can't post it. Else try to search in google for "teclast x16 custom firmware" and take the first link.
But before I do something I wanted to talk with you a little bit about my idea.
First of all: Has someone a idea about the other hardware from the meegopad or the techlast tablet? Does the same processor mean, that it also has the same wifi-, bluetooth-, usb-, sound- etc. controller? How do you think?
If I would install the image: Do i have to install some android drivers? In the link above you see there some drivers that are to install. Do I have to install them? And if yes: do I install them like in this tutorial? Sorry for these questions but I installed till today only cfw on phones and there I never had to install any drivers only the image.
And my last question: How good do you think are my chances to make android runable on my device?
Thanks and have a nice day

Hi, did you get it to work on your device?

How to activate OTG on HTC Desire 650 ?

Hi,
I did some research but was unable to solve my problem. First, please excuse me for using bad english, and above all, to be a noob...
So, here is the thing : I own the HTC Desire 650, which were given to me so I couldn't choose the model... I am not satisfied by usual phone OS, but as i'm not really confident with programming, I usually keep android, as it is... But this time, it was too much.
I like hi-res music, so I have a DAC, wich i usually connect to my laptop, to redirect the signal to hi-fi. But i wanted to use otg cable to connect the dac on my smartphone. As android 6 marshmallow was supposed to be OTG-Compatible, I buy some otg adapter. But unfortunately, it didn't work. After some research, I found that I had to unlock the bootloader and root the phone in order to modify the vold.fstab (That seems easy with a root browser). But it was a mistake, as with android >5, this file is in the boot.img.
So now, I already unlock the bootloader, install the twrp recovery and root the phone. But I am unable to find the boot.img in order to unpack/modify vold.fstab to add otg lines/repack the boot.img.
I tried to find the boot.img with cat: /proc/mtd command but can't go further... ("no such file or directory"... I am on win 10, adb+fastboot installed)
Would some nice developper or more experienced one, give me a hand on this matter ? I just discovered the android world and I'm curious on this things.
Anyway, as it seems that no custom rom is available for htc desire 650, I wanted to swap phones with my grilfriend, but she said : NO !
thanks very much if you can help me !!
See you
Hi,
Nobody coud help me ?
Is there any solution or do I have to accept that I can't activate otg on this phone, even with a modified boot image ?
Thanks very much for your help
