Wifi drivers installation on Android x86 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Newbie needs help with adb

Hi.
I'm trying to make some custom native software for android but I need some help getting started.
What I have done so far is getting a HTC Hero, GSM version.
Flashed a custom rooted ROM. update-hero-generic-2.73.405.38-rooted-signed.zip
Installed the sdk and ndk on Windows.
Downloaded and built the open source android project in a VMWare ubuntu image.
What I'm trying to do now is to get ADB talking to my Hero.
I have USB debugging on in the applications->development menu on in the Hero.
When I attach the phone to my XP PC it detects it and asks for drivers, I point it to drivers in android-sdk-windows\usb_driver, windows won't load them because they do not match the hardware.
I can install the driver manually but eventhough the device manager lists it as working (android phone with android composite ADB interface) adb cant find it.
adb devices just give me an empty list.
I tried this on a Windows 7 box and it seemed to work there, is there something special I need to do to get it working on XP?
Installing HTC Sync (drivers included) should resolve.
Thanks!
I actualy tried that before posting but it did not seem to work.
I now tried it again and this time I manually installed the driver in the HTC directory and now it works.

[Q] Electrify, ADB, and Windows 8

I'm trying to get adb to detect my Electrify on Windows 8, it would seem rooting and/or installing ROMs is impossible without adb, I have my phone plugged in and all the drivers installed except one "Motorola ADB Interface" of course. The manual driver installer errors out on "Cannot detect Operating System" is there anyway around this, either forcing the driver in, or not using ADB to root?
Use a linux live cd and install the android sdk, or use something like vmware, or try to extract the driver and force it to install in device manager, or dual boot an os that isnt in beta...
Sent from my MB855
The linux live cd should actually work I didnt think about that
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741824
It says its for use with HTC phones but could it possibly work with mine?
Its a year and a half old
Will the driver for my phone be installed/available?
I would post this there but its kind of a dead thread
If you have a spare thumb drive of 4gb or larger laying around you can do a persistent install of ubuntu (or just about any other distro) using LinuxLive USB Creator, which can be found here: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
If you're not very familiar with linux, persistence is like having your linux operating system on a thumb drive with the advantage over a live cd being that any changes you make (such as installations or saved files) are not lost upon shutdown. So you could install the android sdk (which is all you should need) and then whenever you needed it you could just boot from your thumb drive. If you need help setting up (such as installing the sdk and setting the path and what not) let me know.

[Q] Help with updating 8192cu.ko Wireless Driver

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?

Question about ADB Platform Tools & Visual Studio Requirements

So I've been trying to get ADB up and running properly so I can modify some aspects of the Android OS to fix the phone's Wi-fi Hotspot feature. Android OS is version Oreo 8.1, and Windows is Win 7 x64. Already had Dev Mode enabled on the phone with USB Debugging.
When I downloaded the Android platform tools and tried to execute the ADB via command line, I get an error message [I had a link to an image showing it, but due to me being a new account it won't let me post it, but basically it's an error message that appears when you try to launch an app on Windows without having the VS 2015 or newer redistributable files installed which have the Win10 compatibility files necessary for it to run] which means I don't have either the 2015 or later version of the VS Redistributable installed. Unfortunately due to this Windows installation's MS Package Updater being borked, I can't really install those either to fix this (thanks MS) without doing a bunch of **** I don't want to risk at the moment.
So the question is, does anybody know of an older version of the SDK Platform Tools that only require VS 2013, and if it would be compatible with Android 8.1? Thanks.
Gonna give this a quick bump but I'm basically just asking if anybody knows where one could get an older build of the SDK Platform Tools (command line tools only, not the full package) that only requires VS 2013 to be installed to run.

[Help] chroot: Run Ubuntu on TWRP. How add Wifi drivers?

I am a fan of Ubuntu and linux.
I want to make Ubuntu Mobile Device based on REDMI2.
I have launched TWRP on my phone.
fastboot boot wt8847_64_twrp_3.2.1.img
Using debootstrap I got Ubuntu for ARMv7.
debootstrap --arch = armhf --variant = minbase --foreign trusty ~/Downloads/ARMv7/Ubuntu_Trusty_armhf http://ports.ubuntu.com/
TWRP has a terminal.
I found chroot in TWRP.
I copied using adb push Ubuntu ARMv7 to phone.
Chroot helped me get Ubuntu up and running in conlose mode.
chroot /dev/Ubuntu_Trusty /bin/bash
Everything is fine.
But I can only use the Internet via a USB cable.
I am using pppd. (Thanks to the article at https://forum.xda-developers.com/)
If anyone is interested, I can describe in more detail.
I am trying to start an internal WiFi module or connect an external one.
For example the powerful RT2870 / RT3070 Wireless Adapter.
I have unpacked wt8847_64_twrp_3.2.1.img by Android Image Kitchen (AIK).
I added kernel from the official firmware.
Packed up and launched successfully.
But ifconfig didn't show any wireless devices.
There are folders in the official firmware
/system/lib/
/system/lib64/
/system/vendor/lib/
/system/vendor/lib64/
What is the name of the driver file for WiFi?
OK. All drivers in /system/lib/modules
