No offense but what is "it says with i type...."

I kinda do not understand.

Thank you.....maybe you could do me a favor and press that thank button :p:rolleyes:

I got the following error in the last step 6:

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-thunderg-2.2.1-GNM.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-thunderg-2.2.1-GNM.img

mtd: read error at 0x00020000 (Out of memory)

I'm going to try to search for this issue but meanwhile if anyone knows what to do about this please let me know. I'll update a link here in case I find the solution.

Edit: This problem is fixed!!

If you get the out of memory error you need to type:

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

Reference: I got this from this link here in section 3.

amosng1, If you think other people might also experience the same issue then it would be great if you could precede Step 6 with the code above.

This worked perfectly fine for my LGP500 model! I booted into recovery.

ROM: Stock GB 2.3.3.

Kernel: Stock kernel (will update this detail on robooting my phone)

Rooted: Using SuperOneClick method with npeuter

Thanks a lot for your guide matey!

I just got a replacement for my botched Nexus, this new one has 0% Time Without Signal (the old one had 50% and was eating batteries) so the new one is off to a better start.

The new one still has the old firmware GRJ06D. I am wondering of anyone noticed issues arising from the GRJ22 update. In particular, anyone get the Tine Without Signal issue as a result of the update? OR are they unrelated? I just want to be sure before installing this thing. Thanks.

This is Debian running cleanly from without the chroot environment

After doing some debugging from within chroot and Android, without the /etc/xorg.conf doing a startx -- :1 and repeatedly pressing the power button (quite frantically) (once the screen blanked out) the x session miraculously appeared! But i couldn't use it since it didn't know of a pointer device.

Hi!

I've extract kernel using guide: HOWTO: Unpack, Edit, and Re-Pack Boot Images on android-dls.com/wiki/.

but at the end, i've have problems in dhd module. Can't modprobe without error at linux boot.

Now trying to run ubuntu 11.04. Installing "ubuntu-desktop" packages in chroot :D
[Ideos S7 Android Development] threader:
Hey, good stuff, use whatever kernel from whatever rom absolutely works on your droid.

It's also dawned on me there most probably might be an issue with the port of the x11 driver, thankfully i still have everything.

http://threader.zapto.org/ - im guessing everything i used is there, if i find more i'll put it up, if its down try again later. I also added a donate button to help feed my Linux addiction =)

The dhd.ko is here - http://threader.zapto.org/s7/rom/extracted/output/sys/lib/modules/dhd.ko

Also Ubuntu is a memory hungry beast, i would recommend Debian 6.0x/squeeze lxde+xfce.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] santiagax99:
Hi, how it's going with TODO:

Stop playing angrybirds, xconstruct and skies of glory when i should be doing this!

installing Ubuntu fails because of my lazy =(

now i get some free time and trying to get working debian queeze on my S7.

I'll report back after finish.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Also i think it's good idea to share complete image of partition with linux. Installing all packages on S7 takes much time =)
[Ideos S7 Android Development] threader:
Hey,

Quite time consuming yes, and fiddly.

I was planning on sharing an image, but i had planned on having it a bit more complete and polished first. That just didn't happen however. But today i cleaned up http://threader.zapto.org and added an image of the partition. And got a fresh breath of motivation.

The image is 2.1 GB. If you write it to a partition, it needs to be equal to or greater then the image you write or you risk trashing the next partition or just failing to complete the write, i guess.

However, you can use a loop device Use the last available loop device, mknod /dev/block/loop255 b 7 255 to avoid conflict, and to mount the image using losetup /dev/block/loop255 s7-linux.img && mount -o noatime -t ext2 /dev/block/loop255 /sdcard2 . Do sync as root before rebooting.

Password for root is root .

Now, i wont be working too much more on the fastboot approach, carrying around a pc to boot linux on the tablet just isnt practical at all. And i really need to have usb host confirmed and working. I have made progress on starting X11 cleanly. My current method of "setprop ctl.stop media & setprop ctl.stop zygote && chroot /mnt/sdcard/linux/ /bin/bash && setprop ctl.start media & setprop ctl.start zygote" works great from adb, but will fail in an android terminal emulator instantly restarting zygote as it quits the terminal app.

I also compiled some kernel modules and put up, mainly ext3 & 4, fuse, msdos, ntfs, but eventually some other goodies. Check http://threader.zapto.org/s7/modules/. None of these are included currently, and wont be until i upload a future version. That will be ext3, which hopefully wont be too far off, and i can already tell you it will include some substantial changes. It should also be infinently more usable, even for those that havent spent some 10+ years on linux. It would definitively be cool if i could releasing something with Digital video usb dongle support, wouldn't it? ;)

Cheers!

Btw. here's the next image running on the s7, as you can see there were some problems with the x11 driver, but i managed to fix that a bit so this is now working, but still Option "NoAccel". I can also report that even firefox 3.5 is running surprisingly smoothly. Over the next few days i will be working on the x11 driver and then internal gsm modem and bluetooth.

Driver working with Red and Blue switched:

Tada! Fixed driver!

KERNEL 'UPDATE!: :

--------------------------

I managed to find time to fix and compile the kernel! The new kernel boasts plenty of improvements over the stock kernel, most noticeably ext3-4 built in, drm, alsa, swap, some experimental features enabled like a new scheduler for the usb, and switch to the no-op scheduler, also a feature that could let us change kernels "mid flight", hopefully, with kexec. Added some fpu related optimizations. I was unable to get it booting with a newer compiler for now though, so its still soft-float. This kernel is half the size, or even less as debug symbols are disabled. The old kernel crawled to 7mb's , this is 3.3.

http://threader.zapto.org/s7/kernel/2.6.32.9-ideos-fs-snd-drm-sane-5.tar.bz2

Usage:

Take the tools folder from the tar.bz2 and copy it somewhere, preferably your home directory (as google sdk binaries are picky little pricks) extract the above archive and put zimage into the tools directory:

adb reboot fastboot

Kernel with modules, http://threader.zapto.org/s7/kernel/2.6.32.9-ideos-fs-snd-drm-sane-5.tar.bz2

Ramdisk extracted from stock bootrom: http://threader.zapto.org/s7/kernel/boot.img-ramdisk.gz

Extract 2.6.32.9-ideos-fs-snd-drm-sane-5.tar.bz2 somewhere on your machine, zImage is inside there.

Dont extract boot.img-ramdisk.gz

For booting Android:

fastboot -c 'console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=qsd8k_s7' boot /path/to/2.6.32.9-ideos-fs-snd-drm-sane-5/zImage /path/to/boot.img-ramdisk.gz

For booting into linux (mmcblk0p2 is the device node for the second partition created on the 8gb internal sdcard, use mmcblk1p1 or 1p2 for external sdcard):

fastboot -c 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfs=ext3 init=/sbin/init rootwait noinitrd' boot zImage

Aosp 2.3.7 available for modders and powerusers!

experimental/aosp2.3/s7/README
Experimetnal build of gingerbread for the s7

Notes:
The build is 2G split, (vmsplit 2g), so given that a given library is compatible
these can be exchanged from 2.2 .
Its still software rendering via pixelflinger.
OpenGL works.

Notes on Wifi and Bluetooth, bcm4329 chipset.
An updated kernel driver, is included in /system/modules (bcm4329.ko).
I have however not come as far as to implement it properly, as i am currently fo
cused on the graphics bit.

Notes on graphics, gralloc-qsd8k has been fixed. Which meant updating the kernel
pmem driver a bit to accomodate this change.
renderscript (libRS and librs_ something ) crashes. Probably due to pixelflinger

Im sure a rom modder could have this rom running smoothly using the huawei 2.2 l
ibraries and such, and dhd.ko. Also delete /system/app/Provision.apk as this prevents booting!

Notes on boot.img:
The ramdisk content might be wrong! I might have copieid the wrong boot.img befo
re i left! This will get fixed.
And so it has, boot.img-dead is the old dead one, boot.img is the working one.

Also arm-linux0.7 is shaping up, this is still an early version where i change a lot in preparation for a more general solution to publish on the google.code page.

Were now using freedreno x11 driver, which works well in chroot but doesnt work if you boot linux normally, the old msm-x11 driver works for this purpose.

Hi threader, great work, will try and tell you how it goes.

One question have you tryied to move to 2.6.38 ?

cant we patch the 2.6.38 kernel with files we may need from 2.6.32 ?

hal_2000
[Ideos S7 Android Development] threader:
Hey Hal.

Likewise ;)

Still fixing some minor bugs, re-worked the board-qsd8x50-s7 file again to make dhd happy, and found a hw def that makes anything we compile think its a 8250. Tell me, is it the 103 or 20x that uses the 8250? I think that code should be moved to the board file.

I've been trying to move to 2.6.38, but i cant get it booting for some reason, i've actually got two 2.6.38 kernels i've been working on, neither give as much as a bleep. The one up in s7/experimental/ has everything it needs to boot, i think. I backported the board-qsd8x50.c file to the 2.6.32 kernel trying to rule that out, and thats whats in use there.. But its pretty hard to debug when i have no frame of reference (console output or anything).

Cheers

Hi, i pick up the zimage file and make a boot.img file, it boot up the rom fusion but touch screen did not work and menu and home key also did not work.

Then used your kernel sources to try to compile a kernel for cm9 and it did not work, it hang at boot, i have a s7 model 105.

If you need more tests let me know.

as far i know que s7-10x uses a qsd8k board type and a cpu qualcomm snapdragon qsd8250 at 998Mhz, the 20x uses a diferent cpu. That why it uses diferent kernels, and i think there is more diference in hardware.

[Nexus S General] denimjunkie82:
Hi everyone,

I'm a former N1 owner and just bought a new NS i9020a from Negri Electronics and I'm finding a few funky things that I'd like to run by you guys. I'm suspecting that the phone might be defective, especially 1 and 2 below. Anyone else have these issues, or perhaps they are really non-issues?

1) My screen has pretty bad horizontal banding. It's most obvious in the notification pulldown, but is also noticeable with certain wallpapers, dead pixel test apps, etc. Please see screenshots below. Has anyone else had this, and do they fade away over time?

2) The galaxy live wallpaper has a layer of static "stars" or something above the actual spiraling galaxy. This layer kinda looks like stars, but some are splotchy/smeary. The galaxy itself also has a pink border/box around it too. I've factory reset twice and the same thing happens. Maybe my wallpaper is defective? See screenshots.

3) The screen in general has pretty yellow whites, especially in low brightness settings. I am not wowed as I thought I would have been with the SAMOLED screen.

4) When in the camera app, the picture doesnt actually take up the entire window. There are a few columns/rows of black pixels surrounding the picture. It's not centered either. See screenshot.

5) my volume rocker has a middle click, so there's up, middle, and down.

Banding:

Galaxy wallpaper:

Camera app:
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
i'm on an ns4g, and i have the exact same problems. its not big enough to bug me though. btw, the samoled is more known for their deep blacks than their whites.
[Nexus S General] samven582:
I would get that exchanged asap but since you bought it from Negri you will hard time.
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
i have a i9023 and got exactly same black line in camera app, it just doesn't take up the entire windowi believe it's a "feature"

i think "middle" button in volume rocker is normal, cause every android device i owned it was present, sometimes when you press it, your system gets lagged for a while, like 5 secs, i believe it's something related to debug setting, also you can use it to disable power button in cw recovery (don't know why)

the rest of your problem i can't actually help, since my screen is not the same!

edit: when you change from photo to video in camera app, don't these lines/rows change at all?!
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Camera looks normal, just like mine.

Banding looks bad though. Possibly defective display. If you have warranty, you should exchange.

If you posted in the QA thread it might help,

Also revision of CM7, kernel etc...

If your on a CM7 < #14 then update.

Also check the inbuilt battery use monitor, it should show what's keeping it awake.

If you want your phone to last on battery, stay away from CM7, it is known to use more battery than stock rom's, 24-26 hours is about the best you will get on CM7.
