bcm4329 drivers

Is there any trick to compiling the Broadcom 4329 wireless drivers included with the U8150 Froyo kernel source code Huawei released? Selecting bcm4329 in menuconfig results in several errors during module compilation.

ERROR: "wifi_set_power" [drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/bcm4329.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "wifi_get_irq_number" [drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/bcm4329.ko] undefined!

I'm just experimenting with some kernel patches and I'd like to be able to compile the wireless driver from source. The stock ramdisk has bcm4329.ko compiled as dhd.ko (dongle host driver), but it's strictly for kernel 2.6.32.9-perf and thus refuses to load if you modify the kernel too much (ie, upgrade to 2.6.32.10, etc).

Cheers,

The problem is that we have bcm4319 not 4329
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Oh, crap... you're right. I saw Huawe's S7 tablet uses BCM4329 and somehow assumed the U8150 did too. Once I got my mind set on it I never stopped to check! It all makes sense now, thanks. What a bummer!

So you're using Huawei's source for your CM7 builds too... grrr, broadcom!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilal6991:
It's really annoying because if we had bcm4329 everything would be much easier. We could compile a new version of the kernel and have FM radio as well.

i just got the m835 i couldn't find anything anywhere on it and i'm not sure if it's a rebranded comet/8150, wasn't sure where i should post. i already tried using some of the one click root apps with no luck . all i want to do is root and freeze the preinstalled metropcs apps because they eat the cpu alive especially the easy wifi one :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aorth:
Try z4root

I've never heard of that phone, but did you try z4root? It's very good if you're running Froyo. It uses a very popular Froyo local root exploit (packaged as an application so you can run it right from your phone).

how to?

i cant figure out how did you convert oemlogo.rgb565 to oemlogo.mbn?

after some trial, i successfully to make my oemlogo.mbn.

U8150/C8150 is using 240x320 rgb565 format.

we can make the custom oemlogo.mbn

U8150 bootloader flaky?

Any other U8150 devs out there who have problems with adb and fastboot from time to time? I just started noticing that sometimes I can't fastboot boot newboot.img or adb shell until I reflash a stock ROM (luckily I had one on the sdcard).

Update #1: Because it's sporadic it's hard to trace... I guess it might be the cable or the USB port, I just tried a new port and I can flash again. I'll try to keep an eye on it.

Update #2: Meh, I think I just realized what it was. 2.6.39 kernels have a weird USB regression on my machine, and it causes annoying things like kernel panic on device removal, etc. I think this is related.

plz help me to solve my problem in ideos android 2.2

i have made a big mistake and removed some system apps without backing up them with the help of an app called "System App Remover" ... i removed the "IM - the google talk" and androids own music player (as i use some other downloaded alternative better apps) but i didn't know the disadvantages of removing these apps...my ideos now gives up force close message of Android.process.media in every reboot!! and my Gallery shows EMPTY... (while alternative app "Quickpic" shows all the SD pictures..)

similarly "Meebo IM" works very well for google talk IM but the android's IM displays notification of message (but on tabbing the notification nothing happens...)

So i want to refresh my android os 2.2 , CAN I REINSTALL ANDROID ????

i have tried the factory restore option in recovery mode ...but NO LUCK :(

I have downloaded a firmware update for IDEOS but should updating solve my problem..??

Most IMPORTANTLY...MY Phone is a SIM LOCKED version...(only active with 1 sim) so will UPDATING/ REINSTALLING OS (if possible?) BRICK MY PHONE:eek: OR ITS SAFE TO DO IT WITH LOCKED SIM SET ??? please quick replies to all my questions....THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS A LOT in Advance!!:p

Kernel fun... U8150 @ 2.6.32.39!

I was bored the other day and I decided to see how far I could patch the U8150's kernel source and still have the device boot properly. After all, the U8150 ships with kernel 2.6.32.9, and the mainline Linux kernel has stable (and "longterm") patches on the 2.6.32 branch going all the way up to 2.6.32.44! There could be dozens of security, performance, and stability fixes in those updates.

I was able to get up to 2.6.32.39 with no trouble; bluetooth, 3G, phone calls, pinch-to-zoom, etc all worked just fine. Wi-Fi didn't work, of course, due to the fact that the Broadcom 4319 wireless chip doesn't have any open-source drivers. Even fudging the EXTRAVERSION to "9" in the Makefile didn't convince the wireless module that it should load; there must be some conflicting change in that slew of mainline patches, I just can't be bothered to figure out which one it is... hahaha.

Anyways... happy hacking!

More fun with kernels

I have been playing with kernels again tonight, looking for areas of potential improvement. In addition to multi-touch gestures and frequency over/underclock, the froyo-noma-dev branch of my U8150 kernel repository has the following changes from the Huawei stock Froyo kernel:

Updated Android toolchain (GCC 4.6 from Linaro)

Added Con Kolivas' ck patch set, which includes the Brain **** CPU scheduler and various responsiveness tweaks (patch set version ck2)

Added the Budget Fair Queuing (BFQ) I/O scheduler

For the brave souls, fastboot-flashable boot images of recent builds of my kernel:

noma_20110818v23_boot.img - Stock kernel + multi touch + overclocked to 652MHz + ck + bfq

noma_20110818v22_boot.img - Stock kernel + multi touch + overclocked to 652MHz + ck

noma_20110711v26_boot.img - Stock kernel + multi touch + overclocked to 652MHz (safe, very close to "stock" Huawei)

Possibly more here.

To flash, reboot your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode (turn it off, and then hold red, volume down, and pressing power). Plug your phone into the computer via USB and then boot the downloaded boot image:

$ fastboot boot noma_20110818v23_boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY

This will boot the kernel one time, without overwriting the existing boot partition. The next time you reboot your old kernel will be there. If you want to make it stick, use this: fastboot flash boot noma_20110818v23_boot.img.

Is there anyone else out there hacking on the U8150 kernel? Has anyone tried anything interesting?

Adios...

My new custom research kernel, "noma"

I just created a new thread to house information related to my custom Froyo kernel, "noma." There are lots of interesting patches we need to explore to increase performance of this little phone! Some areas of improvement I want to explore:

CPU scheduling (UI responsiveness, reducing lag)

CPU frequency scaling governors (smartass? ondemandX? interactiveX?)

I/O scheduling and filesystems (flash disk performance, throughput, latency)

Security (network, local)

Newer drivers (mainstream, community kernel sources)

Newer GCC compilers (CodeSourcery, Linaro)

Easy rooting

Integrate ClockWorkMod Recovery

The Huawei M835 will not work with ideos/comet roms

The metrics M835 is a CDMA device and the ideos is a 3G device, so if you decide to put the ideos rom on the m835, you will end up bricking your phone.

If you have problems rooting the Huawei M835, download pdanet foto android to install the proper drivers so the phone is recognized by tHe computer.

When you've installed the driver, use superoneclick to root the device. Once that's done, restart the phone and Superuser should appear in your app drawer if your rooted. Make sure the root is complete before unplugging your phone from the computer or else you risk bricking your phone :)

Enabling multi-touch gestures on your IDEOS is fairly straightforward when you understand the issues. First, you must have a synaptics touchscreen. Second, your ROM must be new enough.

I summarized all these issues in a post on my blog:
