Hi to all devs and members. I was wandering a few days ago ... can we enable monitor mode in our broadcom wifi chips ? i saw a few phones especialy older phones like htc desire (bravo) that this thing works on and newer like nexus s and sg s2,s3 where this thing is already enabled in driver code. i have a few refferences regardin to firmware and drivers for the wifi chip and i am asking of you if you could recompile the kernel with theese specific/patched firmware modules.
here are some refs:

Thank you !!!
We have above 3.2 kernel, so the source for that driver is already there. It may need to be enabled in compiler config though, but the dx's hardware could also just not be capable(Never really checked what wifi chipset we have). Have you tried Weaver/monitor mode yet?

i know mine is bcm 4329 ([ro.bt.chipset]: [Broadcom BCM4329-B1]) and form hardware specs it ses it is capable ... now it just has to be enabled from somewhere ... i got some kernel sources and i am looking in them and comparing with sta linux driver trying to see a match or somth .... compiling is not my gig ...so im puting my noobish knollage at work
if anyone cand be of any help it will be welcomed ! thanks in advance
LE: Found somth: look in "wl_iw.c"
in the patchd driver from S2 ( h t t p : / / code.google.com/p/bcmon/source/browse/trunk/bcm4329/driver/src/bcm4329/wl_iw.c?r=8 ) i see:
Code:
case IW_MODE_MASTER:
infra = ap = 1;
break;
case IW_MODE_ADHOC:
case IW_MODE_MONITOR:
case IW_MODE_AUTO:
and in original source from htc dev we have:
Code:
case IW_MODE_MASTER:
infra = ap = 1;
break;
case IW_MODE_ADHOC:
case IW_MODE_AUTO:
and your kernel: github.com/prototype-U/dx_kernel/blob/stable/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c
Code:
case IW_MODE_MASTER:
infra = ap = 1;
break;
case IW_MODE_ADHOC:
case IW_MODE_AUTO:
break;
case IW_MODE_INFRA:
infra = 1;
break;
no monitor mode
Can u mod your BCM source with the one ive supplied and compile a test kernel ? If u have time that is ...

Here is my code:
Code:
UsbManager manager = (UsbManager) arg0.getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
HashMap<String, UsbDevice> deviceList = manager.getDeviceList();
Iterator<UsbDevice> deviceIterator = deviceList.values().iterator();
while(deviceIterator.hasNext()){
UsbDevice device = deviceIterator.next();
Log.v(TAG,"Vendor-Id ="+device.getVendorId());
Log.v(TAG,"Product-Id="+device.getProductId());
Log.v(TAG,"DeviceName="+device.getDeviceName());
}
it works well on my Galaxy SII(android 2.3.4),but when i upgrade my phone to KI3(2.3.5),this code didn't work.And the logcat show me "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.hardware.usb.UsbManager.getDeviceList"
I can't seem to find any info on this either.
This particular API was introduced in API 12 (3.1) and yet Galaxy S2 had this in 2.3.4, I wonder if it was experimental, or some code Samsung ported over for the USB host support for pen drives they added and have now gone and removed these additional APIs which just happened to have been working in 2.3.4.
Real shame because things like the DSLR Dashboard and any other host related things we want to implement can't be done, at least not until we get ICS it seems.
Hi, I'm trying to enable USB tethering on the Nexus 10, similar to how was done for the Nexus 7 in this thread.
I've done the required changes in the android os code, however I don't know how to modify the exynos kernel config to enable RNDIS (like was done for the tegra kernel in that same thread).
Anyone have any tips on how to go about doing this? I would really appreciate any help you could throw my way.

Fixed. No kernel changes needed, just add this to /device/samsung/manta/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml:
Code:
<!-- List of regexpressions describing the interface (if any) that represent tetherable
USB interfaces. If the device doesn't want to support tething over USB this should
be empty. An example would be "usb.*" -->
<string-array translatable="false" name="config_tether_usb_regexs">
<item>"rndis0"</item>
</string-array>
<!-- Array of allowable ConnectivityManager network types for tethering -->
<!-- Common options are [1, 4] for wifi and dun or [0,1,5,7] for -->
<!-- mobile, wifi, hipri and bluetooth -->
<integer-array translatable="false" name="config_tether_upstream_types">
<item>0</item>

Root of your source directory, it'll be there once you've completed everything you need to do before actually building android.

Thanks. If I have to do all that they did for the nexus 7, then it's really worth it to me. I'm constantly changing ROMs and such. Thanks anyway. Thought it was a simple solution.

Yeah, I wish it was baked into all of the modified ROMs that are made (since it's such an easy fix in source) but I guess it's not something most people would find useful.
Hi,
just found this thread via search.
Do you guys know any other solution than building android from source with the suggested changes?
Is there any Custom Rom which has USB tethering enabled?
BUMP... come on. I have CM10 can't do it... blew my mind. Need this added into CM10 for N10!

you should have that using cm10.1 ? at least my n7 has the tethering option on cm10.1..
we ordered a n10 for work and need tethering. if cm does not support i probably will have to built aosp with the suggested "fix".
.Zip!
Now only if someone could make it into a update zip, It'd be great!
so i just set up the nexus 10 at work.
flashed cm10.1 and I'm a little disappointed that tethering option is not enabled in cm. (since it is for the n7).
maybe we should ask the devs to for the n10 cm to enable it by default.
btw: downloading cm source now -.-
Has anyone had any luck finding a ROM that has built-in support for USB tethering or networking?
EDIT: Just wanted to point out that this thread was helpful for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013742&highlight=usb+tethering.
Hi, i bough a chinese tablet a few weeks ago.
I didnt intalled anything bad or risky in it.
And this night i got unexplicable popups, adds and applications that i didnt installed.
The source of this activity was a app called com.android.server and com.android.popupreciver
I unistalled them and then i rebooted my tablet, then i got a message saying DEMO.
I heard that the only way to solve this is a hard reset, but i would like to know if there is something else i can do.
=====
Else, i would like to know if there is any ROM compatible for a 7" chinese tablet.
Removing Demo mode from Chinese tablets
I have one of these and have not been using it for a long time due to all the unwanted ads and being unable to figure it out. The other day I decided to give it another try and this is what I found:
A lot of these cheap tablets comes with a trojan and on my A23 Q8H 7" tablet it was in CloudsService.apk. If you remove it the tablet will show big red "Demo" letters across the screen. This comes from the SystemUI.apk and when I decompiled it I saw the following:
Code:
private void showDemoOverlay() {
TextView textview = new TextView(this);
textview.setText("Demo");
textview.setTextSize(180F);
textview.setGravity(17);
textview.setBackgroundColor(0);
textview.setTextColor(0xffff0000);
android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams layoutparams = new android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams();
layoutparams.type = 2006;
layoutparams.width = -1;
layoutparams.height = -2;
layoutparams.gravity = 17;
layoutparams.format = textview.getBackground().getOpacity();
layoutparams.flags = 24;
((WindowManager)getSystemService("window")).addView(textview, layoutparams);
}
The above function in SystemUIService.java is indirectly called by this one
Code:
private boolean hasOTAServer() {
android.content.pm.PackageInfo packageinfo;
try {
packageinfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo("com.clouds.server", 0);
}
catch (android.content.pm.PackageManager.NameNotFoundException namenotfoundexception) {
packageinfo = null;
namenotfoundexception.printStackTrace();
}
return packageinfo != null;
}
So in short all it does is look for is a package called com.clouds.server and if it doesn't find it the Demo is displayed.
The solution is to create a blank app in Android studio, make sure the package name is com.clouds.server and then install it on the device.
Now this I call informed investigation! I was trying to get rid of the trojan on a chinese tab and after removing at least 5 apps and rebooting i got the DEMO overlay.
I found a blog post dealing with the same problem and this person provided an APK to install (I checked it via virustotal and it came back clean): cmcm.com/article/share/2015-11-09/840.html
How did you find out it was the SystemUI.apk showing the overlay? Or was it just an educated guess? I tried finding the app via dumpsys but couldn't see anything...
P.S.: THANKS!!

It has been a while but if you extract all the APK files and run grep on them you should be able to find the one you are looking for. You can then decompile the APK to have a look at the source code. Another way would be to remove the apps one by one and reboot each time. When you find the APK which causes the Demo mode to be activated just replace it with a blank APK file with the same package name and it should be good. If that does not work then it could be that the tablet checks for more things which means you'll have to go with option 1. I would also not trust virustotal with this as there are many reasons why it could return a false result and it does not take too much skills to bypass virustotal checks.
The solution!
Just install a clean CloudsService.

Thank you!
Note that you might need to do
adb uninstall com.clouds.server
before you will be able to install this one if you get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]"

Hi guys
I am new to android and i need some help. Apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place.
I manufacture and supply large touch screens to special needs schools and in the past i have used multitouch overlays that came with a mini pc android called istick by PQ Labs that were coded to work as multi touch. now i have changed touch panel product i need an android pc to work with it.
I am thinking of using a MK809iv and the company that supplies the overlay has sent me the mods that need to be made to the kernel but i have no idea how to do this.
Here is what they sent me.
Transplanting under Android4.0 For IRMT Multi Touch Frame Driver V1.1
The following method is suitable for the kernel which above Linux 3.0, we take an example of Kernel 3.08.
1. Add manufacturer ID and Device ID in the 352st line of “drivers/hid/hid-ids.h”
#define USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH 0x23c9
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL 0x5666
2. Add device according to put the following program in the 669st line of “/drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c”
/* IRM Multi-touch panel */
{ .driver_data = MT_CLS_CONFIDENCE,
HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH,
USB_DEVICE_ID_ IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
3. Add special protocol support in the 1392st line of “drivers/hid/hid-core.c”
{HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_IRMTOUCH, USB_DEVICE_ID_IRMTOUCH_SSERIAL) },
4. Configuring the kernel. (menuconfig)
Firstly enter Device Drivers, then enter HID Devices ,then select Special HID drivers. Build-in HID Multitouch panels . ( select “*” )
Save and exit.
5. Compile the kernel and update the mirror of android 4.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I suppose you already solved the problem or left it, anyway thanks for pasting the info, very usefull to modify the kernel to support this IRM Touch.

E/hwcomposer( 177): int hwc_eventControl(hwc_composer_device_1*, int, int, int): unsupported event 1
This is your error. Same as cm11 zenfone 5. Hwcomposer is broken in intel patches so you can try to replace hwcomposer.so file from your original rom and try to flash it again. It is something like hwcomposer.devicecode.so device code is a400cg I guess. I will update you on this. Good luck.
