Instead of SHW-M250L kernel source from OSRC, I just did a quick change to GT-I9100_HK_Opensource.zip

A little bit different on the package, but still the same work flow and results...

.config file:

cp ~/sgs2/9100i_hk/arch/arm/configs/c1_rev02_defconfig ~/sgs2/9100i_hk/kernel/.config

./fix_config.sh

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[PATH_TO_G++LITE_BIN] modules

compile without problem, but no luck, insmod still report:

insmod: init_module '/lib/modules/joydev.ko' failed (Exec format error)

dmesg | grep joy report:

joydev: no symbol version for module_layout

Any help, any directions?

Thanks in advance!!!

I used the european I9100 source from the samsung site and the config file from the opening post when I successfully compiled my modules.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
YES SIR, will do try this src next!!!!!

richyy74 would u mind share with us which kernel are you at on your phone?

and which version of toolchain u are using on the compile?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
A bit of update, just try with GT-I9100_Opensource.zip, nope, still no luck........

I start to think would that be problem of toolchain (which in the readme of the zip from Samsung, they are using 2009q3 while I am using the current 2011 build), or it is possible problem because my/our unsecure kernel (2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513)...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
update: Roll back on 2009q3, nope, no luck.............

I can only thinks that it is due to the kernel I am using.............
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richyy74:
I compiled for ke7 and kf1 cifs, slow-work and cpu governor modules.

I used the 2009 gnu/linux toolchain from codesourcery /it ends with 67 something/

I never succeded with the version mentioned in the readme.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
Thanks for your direction, will do more test after my "should have slept" 5 hours session.... which end up in data center instead of bed...

:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aerobahn:
The "exec format error" means that you compiled it for the wrong architecture.

To see which arch the kernel module was compiled for, use the "file" command (found on any Linux computer but not present on the phone itself).

The file command is an extremely useful function for identifying files.

So, at a terminal, type:

file -k /user/home/output/example.ko

It should output information on the file, which will clarify whether it was statically built, which architecture, etc. Examples:

Dynamically linked executable:

"ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped"

Statically linked executable:

"ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped"

Object file:

"ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped"

Most importantly, if it doesn't say 32bit ARM, it will not work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
So the module I cross-compiled gives me :

joydev.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped.

So it was correctly compiled, I may need to try another toolchain.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
Using Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 for ARM EABI toolchain, still have the issue.

So as I use an insecure kernel, I may need to ask the author what compiler he used for it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
Hum........ I think it is NOT that much related to kernel..

I tried using the cifs.ko and slow-work.ko user compile earlier, it DOES work with the insecure kernel.. so the kernel do load foo.ko, it must be problem of our compile..

in my file -k I too get same results.

>./drivers/input/joydev.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

but nope, it does not work too...

Anyway, about the toolchain, I too first tried using Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 for ARM EABI, and I too tried what richyy74 mention: Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67 for ARM GNU/Linux, but no luck.

Actually, which version and which side does everyone goes? EABI or GNU/Linux?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richyy74:
When I compiled the cifs module I use I used 2009q3-67 toolchain, compiled the whole kernel although I only uses the modules. I uses the modded config from OP and added kernel string I9100xw***-cl****** to localversion. That is all I can remember. 2009q3-68 toolchain and only module compile resulted in unuseable modules.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] utp:
I got that working too by Linux/GNU 2009q3-67 toolchain, the solution I had was simple, my bad I only did make modules, I DID NOT make the full kernel...

Got joydev.ko working, Microsoft Sidewinder USB was running on SGS2 with SNES9X!!!

Been busy today at work, have to go DC again next 2 overnight, I will try to post my full log and the binary of joydev.ko after...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alx5962:
Could someone post the joydev.ko kernel module here please ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jazdw:
I used the Samsung update3 sources and the config from the OP along with the 2009q3-67 compiler and the FUSE module loaded fine with the CFRoot KJ3 kernel I am using.

Just had to set the correct kernel string in the Makefile and do a full "make" rather than "make modules".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] olokos:
for Xperia Z1 - krait based A53 these need to be enabled

CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS

CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS

CONFIG_FTRACE

or the kernel wont build at all, so the same should be with future devices and newer SoC's
[EVO Shift 4G General] tokuzumi:
I made a backup of my texts using SMS Backup & Restore, and want to know about flashing a different type of rom, such as MIUI, CM7, or one of the Sense based GB roms out there. Are there any issues in restoring text messages created on one type of rom, and restoring them to another type of rom? According to the app description, it saves the texts to XML, so I don't think that would cause issues, unlike Titanium Backup can, if you restore settings between two different types of roms.
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
The one I use backs up my sms through my gmail account. I can switch to either sense or aosp based roms and my messages are fine
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
nope you are good to go. Been using sms backup and restore for a while now. Make sure you have it schedule to backup at all times.

Also when switching ROM, it is always a good idea to "manually" backup you texts before wiping...

[General Questions and Answers] growse:
I've been using Ginger Villain for a long while now, and am currently on version 2.4. However, one feature that appears to be missing is the ability to specify an HTTP proxy on certain wireless networks. It's been a while since I've tried to use this, but I certainly remember it being present on earlier builds, but couldn't really say when it disappeared.

Is this down to the CM sources not including it, or do I need a new/different kernel?

Thanks :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Steve182:
I have experienced some browser crashes in the past week, on multiple sites, and especially when visiting IGN.com. Its sort of a flash heavy site, but it still happens when I have Flash turned off.

Anyone else having problems with browser crashes? It has happened with both the stock Android Browser as well as Dolphin HD Browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilesal:
yeah lot's of random crashing with default browser, I have installed every browser available but none offer the same as desktop experience. Browsing is (for me) the most disappointing thing about the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diodato:
Happens to me quite often. Well happened. If you can live without JavaScript turn it off. Just enable it on sites that you really need. For me the sudden browser closures (not FCs) happend mainly on sites with JavaScripts.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gloomyandy:
Yes lots of crashes for me as well. I tend to have a lot of tabs open, and it is particularly annoying that there seems to be no way to automatically open up the same set of tabs (anyone know if there is a way to do this)...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jazd71:
same here, getting very tired of having to turn flash and java off to make browswer stable, hell if wanted this i would have bought a ipad2!

Much of the content on good sites is java & flash, for me its only been really bad the last 7 days. Come on android/ Asus, sort it please!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drl1954:
Just did that and both the stock browser and Dolphin HD work MUCH faster and no more FCs. Question--is the Java engine part of android, or is it in the browser? If it is in android, then I guess there is no point in trying other browsers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
holy, I've experience about 10 force closes. My browser doesn't even show the pop up force close notification, it just closes and returns me to my launcher -.-
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tony1208:
same here ,really annoying..my nook colors stock browser on cm7 was alot better as well as flash support on it...hopefully soon it ll be adressed...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:

this is surely a software issue which can easily be fixed (i hope)

I found that clearing my cache through the manage app settings helps me to load a page after a crash. It usually happens if I have over 25 MB worth of cache from previous browsing cessions.

i'm trying firefox beta (with java enable) and i'm not problems like oter browser, after one hour it's all ok.

maybe it work fine because there is not flash.

what do you think about his app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moo99:
I thnk unfortunately hat the stock browser has the best ui. Dolphins tabs are hard to get to if you scroll down and the browser lacks a back button. Firefox is another story. Switching between it and other programs berings up the "loading firefox" screen. It seems like it's meant for phones and the fact that it works on honeycomb at all is lucky.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] selectormoldy:
My girlfriend bought the TF yesterday, and we experienced this issue. I haven't been able to locate a thread on help.google.com, has anyone reported this officially?

I'very set up gestures for back, forward, top and bottom as well as next and previous tab. It's a breeze with gestures.

It happens to me a lot with Dolphin HD. Its not an FC because there's no dialogue box, it just crashes. I'll try turning off javascript to see if that fixes it.

Edit: wow its absolutely amazing how much faster dolphin loads pages without javascript!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
It happened for the first time for me yesterday with yahoo & xda. My Transformer also rebooted by itself yesterday once while it was asleep.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBishopOfSoho:
Hi there, Ive had a SGS2 for about 24 hours now and am about ready to send it back and get a refund. Its driving me insane. One one had, its a fantastic phone, looks great, fast as hell, really neat features.

But one feature I cant stomach is the 10 second lag I get when waking the phone. 10 seconds from when I press home or power to being able to open the lock screen. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I understand from other posts that this may be related to a power saving feature, but in all honesty, what other phones have this poor response time?

Does anyone have a solution? Ive tried rooting, updating firmware, kernel, lockscreen etc. No joy. It kills me that I have to send it back because of this stupid bitty issue, but I will break this phone in frustration in a few weeks if I keep it...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
You should get it replaced. Mine is .5 seconds before it turns on. it's REALLY fast to turn on on mine. I'd say faster than my iphone 4. I think you've got a fuddy duddy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
I have a sneaky suspicion you're exaggerating the delay by about 9 seconds. I agree a delay of any sort on a phone of this spec is annoying (my MIUI flashed HD2 had zero delay) but is it enough to return the phone? Not in my opinion, it's a software issue.

I will be happy when a solution is discovered of course but for the time being there are more annoying issues on this phone. Like the constant '3G' to 'H' switching on data connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
nope, you must have something faulty happening there. 10 seconds is not normal at all. not in my experience anyway. There IS a lag unlike any other phone when hitting the home button. I hate it too. but 10 seconds!? That's crazy. If it doesn't cost you then you should get it replaced.

Of course you could try rooting/flashing to see if it helps but then all that extra hassle if it doesn't work and you still have to return it.

'power saving feature' is not true... phone is doing the same as most decent smartphones out there in terms of battery.

despite all this, I love this device. I truly believe it is the best handset available right now. period!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBishopOfSoho:
Im afraid Im not exaggerating, just timed it, 9 seconds from lights on to lockscreen being responsive. Ive tried flashing it, Went from Vodafone BUKE1 to XWKE7 and no difference. Will flash it back to BUKE1 and send it back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Then your phone is faulty. Mine becomes responsive after about a second and has always been that way, even on the stock rom before I rooted or flashed VillainRom. An unusual fault though, as I'd bet my bottom dollar it's software related.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
That's a fault. People talk about a small (<1 second) delay... Probably < 0.5s

Hi,

I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.2 (FROYO) system upgraded from 2.1 version using oden.

Yesterday I tried to update this system because I have some problem in my phone (shutdown automatically...). I used the same method I used before to UPGRADE the system (oden write SBL above the port number colored in yellow).

Unfortunately, when the phone was in "download mode", oden has stop working on 30% approx. it says that the com port is not available (knowing that this port worked correctly when oden established the connection). So I removed the battery from my phone...... (I know it is a stupid idea).

Can You Boot the phone into download mode manually ?

press volume down + home + power simultaneously

ps that wasn't stupid idea - it was the only solution to turn off broken flashing, but You must try boot it again to download mode and flash again but this time make sure that every file is properly placed in odin: file with MODEM as phone, CSC to CSC and third to PDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Oy.

As far as I know losing power to the phone or rebooting the pc while flashing the bootloader is one of the only ways to properly brick the sgs.

This sounds bad...very bad. If the bootloader had been erased but the new one hadn't been written before you pulled the battery, then I fear it is Goodnight Charlie. No bootloader, no phone.

If you can use the three button method to get to download mode as the post above me suggested, you will be alright.

If not....maybe a jig but I would doubt it.
