I've started an Open Source project :

I've posted a new thread on the discussion group:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/renesas-emev-osp/zpDr-FiwIqg

to announce the availability of the first version of the HAL for Android and the patched Kernel, addressing the lcd and touch devices.

I have a doubt with the Android build though. I'm not an expert with that, so any contribution is welcome! Looks to me the build is being made for the emulator, not for the target device, but I'm not sure what I'm missing in the makefiles. For example, I can't see the init.emxx.rc which is specific for our product. Also, I'm not sure if the init.rc is correct, as for example is not pointing to the NAND devices when mounting the file system.

Anyone who could help?

I still have to figure out why part of our custom HAL libraries aren't placed where expected by the build...

I managed to plug a serial-USB cable to my tablet and debug the failing kernel bootup sequence.

I still have to figure out the solution...

ROSP status update

Status update - visit the Group for more info

- Kernel source code is there, missing some peripherals yet, but working for the basic stuff

- AOSP customizations are there as well, still missing WiFi but working as well

Still hoping someone can join the development efforts ...

Porting of the Open Source to JB has started: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/renesas-emev-osp/XSdLmPgD9Og
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
Touchscreen has a problem on Jb, while it worked perfectly in gb. Details of the porting project here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?hl=en&fromgroups#!forum/renesas-emev-osp

I can read touch position using "adb shell dump input". This is for example while touching mid of screen:

... Last Button State: 0x00000000 Last Raw Touch: pointerCount=1 [0]: id=0, x=401, y=274, pressure=0, touchMajor=27, touchMinor=27, toolMajor=27, toolMinor=27, orientation=0, tiltX=0, tiltY=0, distance=0, toolType=1, isHovering=false Last Cooked Touch: pointerCount=1 [0]: id=0, x=400.499, y=273.430, pressure=1.000, touchMajor=270.000, touchMinor=270.000, toolMajor=270.000, toolMinor=270.000, orientation=0.000, tilt=0.000, distance=0.000, toolType=1, isHovering=false ...

But touch events are not received correctly by the main window (the locker screen).

Looks like the kernel driver isn't the main problem, I think...

Here's what I've achieved so far. I've introduced the .idc file for the touch device, so it gets recognized as an actual "touch" screen , to a "pointer" pad. Then I've enabled the "showTouches" in the InputReader.cpp code, so to force showing of the touch position.

I've posted a brief recording of results on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqebuAw5Jws&feature=youtu.be

As you can see from video, the touch is properly received by the EventHub module, but somehow is not dispatched to the window, which is the locker screen in this case...

Also, I've enabled debug logging into InputReader.cpp and EventHub.cpp, but I can see messages in the logcat only from the latter, which is another mistery to me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
Got it! After reviewing a bit Linux input protocol docs:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/multi-touch-protocol.txt

I modified the driver and now I have the correct sequence of messages, that makes the events being correctly received and processed:

New packaging procedures

I've stored on the repository (emev-4.1 branch):

https://github.com/Renesas-EMEV2/RenesasEV2-bootloader

a couples scripts:

testsd/testsd.sh - to prepare a bootable SD card (internal NAND not touched)

fwupd/fwupd-sh - to prepare an SD card for target device upgrade (NAND writing)

These make uboot binaries starting from our bootloader code, properly patched for our tablets.

Find more detailed instructions in "README-Renesas"

Also, find under

https://github.com/Renesas-EMEV2/RenesasEV2-bootloader

the script to prepare the android file system after a new builid, with instructions in "README".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Capellov:
Thanks for your work!

I see that for you really not indifferent to the fate of your device!

I have another device with the similar platform.

How do you think your ROM's could be used on it:

Car PC (dvd-player)

Platform Renesas A8

CPU Cortex A9 Dual 1000 Mhz

RAM 512 MB

NAND 4 GB

Screen 800*480 7"

3G, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS

Or, may be, I could use your ROM's to port their on my device?

PS: sorry for my English, it's not native for me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
Hi, I can only suggest to try. Cpu is one part of the story, but touchscreen and other peripherals may require someadaptation.

At the moment I ' m preparing a test JB rom...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Capellov:
Yeh... I think you are right and some functions of device will be unavailble in first start. But, if it will be started, it will means that your ROMs are usefull for me to port it to my device. Could I use your ROMs for experiments?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
The JB porting now includes WiFi...

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Yes you could, of course. Only issue is that at the moment I won't be of much help, on how to build, install, etc as I'm very busy at my job.

You can try the "alpha" GB version for the moment. Have a look here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xa0yvz4l2qv4544/hC9mkVLFCl

and the README for instructions.

I hope I can find some time to prepare an image for JB soon as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Capellov:
Newcoo which

Oh. Don't worry! I'll try to do it myself. I have a head and arms, so I think that I could solve this problem.

Thanks for link and base ROM!

JB Open Source test build (alpha v.1)

I've shared a complete build for JB, from the latest code version from github.

Have a look at the README for instructions
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marshel:
I cant install right now

but is nice to see your hard work.

I need to wait for a more bug free version, I'm afraid.

Tks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
I've uploaded, onto the same folder, a revised version of the uboot loaders used during the upgrade stage:

uboot-sd.bin

sdboot.bin

Please retry with these...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
I've posted new install scripts and binaries as well as a new tar.gz.

Please use all these and collect .out files from SD card, if the update fails.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
I later realized I made again the same mistake in the install script. Root partition should be mmcblk0p5 and the same mistake is present in uboot4.bin as well. I can't recompile now. Tomorrow I will repost both. Sorry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
I've changed the update procedures again. Please clean up SD card and download again all.

This time I've borrowed the 'factory' update program (from the "M9" model GB firmware).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
I've posted a short demo of the porting to JB, including WiFi and SGX HW-accelerated graphics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdh7A3QnLmQ&feature=youtu.be

I can't make this build fully public yet, as there are still a couple of bugs which requires some manual workaround, but if anyone's interested I've put the android fs on DropBox:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o20o3m6fyq4sn3j/IZhtMBd9jR

-> android-fs4.tar.gz.SGX (to replace android-fs4.tar.gz)

The manual workaround is basically to execute from your host PC, connected to the device through USB:

adb shell /system/etc/init.emev.sh

after the device is started and it has a white screen on.

Other known bugs / missing features:

- PixCir touchscreen unresponsive to touch

- on suspend the device can't resume... (change the screen timeout to something long, for testing)

- YouTube playback doesn't work

- WiFi signal reported as very low (settings - wifi - menu - advanced and uncheck "avoid poor connections")

- multitouch not working

- sound missing

- g-sensor missing

- HDMI missing

If you notice something else and different from the above, let us know, thanks.

Hello!

Any news? What is the current status of the firmware? I mean whats working / not working
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
Latest news are found in the project-dedicated discussion, at

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/renesas-emev-osp

So, have a look over there too.

To summarize:

GB - I'm not working on it anymore directly. Someone else is trying at present to build and test the same, on a different tablet platform.

JB - I'm presently stucked with a couple issues, but the status at present is a build that includes SGX graphics acceleration, for a "Livall" tablet platform (Goodix, or PixCir touchscreen options), but still with these known issues:

- PixCir touchscreen unresponsive to touch

- on suspend the device can't resume... (change the screen timeout to something long, for testing)

- YouTube playback doesn't work (OMF integration missing)

- WiFi signal reported as very low (settings - wifi - menu - advanced and uncheck "avoid poor connections")

- multitouch not working

- sound missing

- g-sensor missing

- HDMI missing
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spdrfx:
So its not for daily use:(

I have another question, is the EV2 chip core voltage controlled by the kernel? I want to rise it from 1.1V to 1.3V, for some OC, my first gen rena3 run stable on 614MHz, but i want more. Im afraid the weak point is not the cores but the ddr2 ram. If you have any suggestion im appreciate it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffxx68:
Hi all,

I've reached a point of minimal usability for JB. Follow the updates on the group as said above.

On the other hand, I need some help/suggestion about an error I'm getting while testing the HW OMX integration.

I/EV2OMXPlugin( 76): ***OMFPlugin() dl open success !!!!!!!!

I/EV2OMXPlugin( 76): ***run OMFPlugin ------- enumerateComponents !!!!!!!!

E/OMXMaster( 76): OMX plugin failed w/ error 0x80001001 after registering 0 components

This error originates inside device/renesas/emev/EV2OMXPlugin.cpp, while calling "OMX_ComponentNameEnum":

omx_plugin.dl_handle = dlopen ("libomf_manager.so", RTLD_LAZY);

...

omx_plugin.sym_table.component_name_enum = *(OMX_ERRORTYPE (*)(OMX_STRING cComponentName,

OMX_U32 nNameLength,

OMX_U32 nIndex))dlsym (omx_plugin.dl_handle, "OMX_ComponentNameEnum");

...

OMX_ERRORTYPE OMFPlugin::enumerateComponents(

OMX_STRING name,

size_t size,

OMX_U32 index) {

ALOGI("***run OMFPlugin ------- enumerateComponents !!!!!!!!");

return omx_plugin.sym_table.component_name_enum (name, size, index);

}

but I can't understand the root cause of it, as it goes down to the libomf_manager.so, which is provided as a binary only (no source code avialable) and it's the same binary as for GB, so I expect internal calls to behave exactly the same...

Latest JB build, including Google Apps too: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r6tv8e5okrd9epo/lp0rqPeSIt

Project tech details as usual at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/renesas-emev-osp

The GApps package was taken from here: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1917411 (I'm not hosting it on my github). It's a reduced subset of the full G-Apps pack, taking about 35 Mb. Disregard the disclaimer about ARMv6, as compatibility has nothing to do with ARM version, but more with the AOSP version. I've tested on my device and at least Google Play works.

Still open issues:

- "Home" soft button not redirecting to launcher home (help needed here! I have no idea what to fix)

- launcher orientation fixed to landscape

- WiFi indicator not showing zero-power level

- YouTube playback only in full screen mode (not within browser window)

- 3G module integration missing (for devices including it; I'm working on it - help welcome)

- GPS module untested (my device doesn't have one)

- HDMI integration missing

- other? please tell

JB progress... and testers needed

Hi,

many may already be aware of that, but JB has reached a ... more or less... stable release.

Something not working yet, among which is the HDMI output. I'm aware this is not really important, but still might be useful (e.g. for better gaming experience, or movie streaming).

Anyone wishing to help testing HDMI? See latest posts here:

I have an MID 7" tablet around NEC Renesas, it was my first android device 2.2 android actually but one day it stopped working(touch screen). I did also the foolish to give the mini-usb OTG cable to someone and I cannot find a suitable cable to use it with external mouse so it's pretty much useless

I only use it for a week or so and it's still brand new! it's just a shame and after some flashes I manage to find a rom and bring back function to the soft keys(these were dead too)

The rom I've found is located here(android 2.3.5): http://www.engren.se/2012/03/03/cor...-2-3-5-renesas-rena3/?replytocom=1553#respond

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evronetwork:
Nop but now that you've mention it, I'll give it a go

EDIT: For some unknown reason it doesn't see the microsd card in the recovery menu(when I enter android it does prepare TF card as it says and when I remove the card it says TF is removed) ..I did format the card but still it says the same ..damn

EDIT2: I format the microsd card with one partition as fat32 and one as EXT4 and worked :) ..so I flashed the rom, but still touch is not working, here soft keys doesn't work too (these keys work with the previous rom). Also booting to recovery(special recovery made by manufacturer) is no longer available :( - It replaced the recovery to an android "safe mode" style which is useless as touch is not working

Hello Forum. I am about to replace the old ****ty blade with an nice cheap little X8, I got it for 5 euros from a friend, the problem is that i can't charge it.

It doesn't show any sign of life. The facts are,

That its about a year old.

*It doesn't have the original battery anymore.

*It has NEVER BEEN MODDED OR FLASHED. So it could not be an brick If I'm right.

*I got an original charger but not usb cable. i use the one that came with my Desire.

I would adore help with this one. since Xda-Member#Racht

made awesome roms for it.

I am Brazilian... i want to buy an US AT&T phone cause of the price that is U$100,00 less than the Unlocked International Version...

(i don´t mind it´s all in english... i can work fine in this language)

So i want to ask something to you, guys, and if you can help would be great!!!As i need to decide it untill next monday!!!

1 - is there a way for me (to myself do it) to unlock the phone? Or maybe is it easy as i can unlock in a brazilian phone shop? If i can unlock in my home... how do i do it?

2 - if i root the phone is there a way to use portuguese language on it?

3 - about battery... would you buy an extra extended general battery (50-60% more) or would u buy 2 or 3 common batteries (1500mah)???

Thank u all!

And exactly what phone do you think to get?

Because unlocking depends on many things ...

Oh... sorry... i´d like to get the LG Optimus P920 3D (Thrill)

A friend of mine who would buy the phone to me in US and send by another friend comming to Brazil (WAW! hahaha) told me that Locked AT&T should not work here with my SIM Card. Would happen a lot of limitations. But i read in internet that if i´d unlock the phone it would work fine with all fully functions. So i repeat the questions i did before, now you guys know my phone what it is.

1 - is there a way for me (to myself do it) to unlock the phone? Or maybe is it easy as i can unlock in a brazilian phone shop? If i can unlock in my home... how do i do it?

2 - if i root the phone is there a way to use portuguese language on it?

3 - about battery... would you buy an extra extended general battery (50-60% more) or would u buy 2 or 3 common batteries (1500mah)???

one more question: if i unlock the phone will it have fully functions working with my SIM?

Thanx

When thr phone comes to me i´ll root it for sure. I´ll have a look at your ROM as it has portuguese... hehehe.

But can u tell me if there is a way for me to unlock it myself? Or at least unlock it in brazil? Cause the price of the locked AT&T one is better than the unlocked international version...

[LG Optimus 3D] sbrownla:
There is always a way but $99 is the 2 year contract price. You have to have a contract or they can block the IMEI number.

Good luck with that one.

[LG Optimus 3D] azhhael:
A friend of mina that uses AT&T will buy just the phone in her name for me... that´s cause it would be 100,00 cheaper than the unlocked version...

But i am really thinking about cause as i can see maybe it´s better pay the 100,00 more and get the unlocked one...

i don´t know about it further but it seams that give the IMEI by internet to others can be no so good for us the owners... is it right or there is no problem about that?
