does this work for the pan digital nova?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
Not yet, but if you would like to help, please post the contents of /proc/config.gz
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kissdafloor:
here is the config file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
Thanks, and just a quick glance at the source reveals the following...

CONFIG_MACH_MESON_8726M_REFB21=y

A missing file that is of importance. This should have had the following file in the kernel...

(kernel directory)/arch/arm/mach-meson/board-8726m-refb21.c

This configures the kernel for the general board, so acquiring it would be a really good idea.

# CONFIG_AML_TCON_P7_PLANET1 is not set

# CONFIG_AML_TCON_P7_PLANET2 is not set
CONFIG_AML_TCON_P7_NOVA1=y

This is not as bad, but still reveals a few missing things. This will also effect the Pandigital Planet users. The missing file should have been located in..

(kernel directory)/drivers/amlogic/display/vout/

CONFIG_UOR6X5X_RESISTIVE_TOUCHSCREEN

Luckily, this is not missing. So that means at least the touch screen might work.

Stack in recovery mode

Hi,

I have a YX-10A03 model, i have tried to compile the kernel, none of the uImage files is working (compiled all models from refa000 to refb18).

it stacks at upgrading please wait...

I have tried the c91 uImage took it from there upgrade script, the display colors are not right (green=blue) nad it has formated the nand (hdd).

now i am stuck with the recovery in bad colors.

Anyone can help me and tell me how to compile a c91 (zt-280) kernel to begin with?

anyone have a config file???

I have also noticed that W6HD uImage is also working, goes to the recovery, but also with bad colors and does not installes the android image
[Miscellaneous Android Development] geyperman:
Hi all!

Attached config.gz from Nvsbl P4D Sirius. You can get the last firmware from (see attached file ROM_Sirius.txt).

What do you think about this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
Knowing which device it is helps a lot, thanks, and as for #2... The output of the that file is specifically what is required to see what went wrong.

./adb shell cat /proc/mtd

And if the command works, you will get output similar to this:

dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00800000 00100000 "nandboot"
mtd1: 01000000 00100000 "logo"
mtd2: 01000000 00100000 "aml_logo"
mtd3: 01000000 00100000 "recovery"
mtd4: 01000000 00100000 "boot"
mtd5: 10000000 00100000 "system"
mtd6: 04000000 00100000 "cache"
mtd7: 10000000 00100000 "userdata"
mtd8: 08000000 00100000 "customdata"
mtd9: 4a000000 00100000 "NFTL_Part"

and as for #3, that helps, but it is not the file that was needed. the file that was being requested can be got by running the command...

adb pull /proc/config.gz ainol-novo8-advanced-config.gz

and then attaching the file that was created, namely...

ainol-novo8-advanced-config.gz

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
Two questions on this... Did you enable the debugging features of the device? If you did not, you need to enable the debugging. The standard location for this is under System settings -> Applications -> Development, and to then make sure the USB Debugging box is checked. As for the Other question, have you read the guide that Captainkrtek wrote over adb? It's got the title of [GUIDE] ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone (link to guide provided )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrlvov:
I can't turn on USB Debugging because it doesn't join and USB Debugging hasn't been turn on to me. All necessary programs and the driver at me are established.

As to me to include a debugging mode if the system on the device isn't present.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
Odd, if this is the only android device on the system, running adb as follows will only list one device:

adb devices

if it has more than one device, you need to add the -s flag.

adb -s <serial number> shell dmesg
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrlvov:
c:\adb>adb devices

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

*daemon started successfully*

List of devices attached
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
I see what is going on. It's windows giving you driver problems, or the device does not have debug over usb enabled.

Solution 1: Double check to make sure Device is setup right.

If it's the device settings, that is easy.

Make sure the device is on the home screen.

press the menu button ( this is usually a three line or four lines that are parallel )

click settings ( A gear )

click applications

click development.

and make sure the "USB debugging" is enabled ( this is usually a green check in the box next to this option )

connect to pc.

Now that it is connected to a pc, on the device, it should say "USB debugging Connected" as one of the notification entries. At this point, the adb commands will work.

if the previous step did not work, please try a different cable, or at least verify that you can get usb storage working. If usb storage is working, and adb works on the device, then the issue is computer side.

at this point, the device should be working fine under windows, but if not, double check your drivers.
​

Solution 2: Install linux based system

Just simply setup a second partition or a virtual box image using linux. This should work well, and fix adb issues. I personally recommend using using Ubuntu 10.10 (or equivelent) as the OS, and then doing a full installation of the android linux sdk on the image. If your using virtual box, you only need to give the linux access to the usb device, and to do that, please refer to the virtualbox documentation.

Also, there is some permissions issues possibly on the system, and for that, look at the udev rules documents on how to fix this.
​

Solution 3: Update the windows driver inf files.

This is the hardest step, but it's been done for other devices. To perform the fix on this, I recommend looking around at what was done over at nookdev's wiki. In particular, the "ADB Over USB (Nook Classic)" article.

Hello _top,

Where can we find your kernel sources ?

Because I try to compil from AmLogic. The kernel won't boot with the current .config from tablet.

Your kernel release with ClockworkMod of november boot on my tablet. But no button is working to navigate in menu.

Thanks for your work !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ifynk:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
I don't try to support hw video yet so I don't know it can or it can't.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:

I think you tried CM7 and it worked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ifynk:
Unfortunately the video does not work in the CM7. But works fine in the original firmware.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ifynk:
I'm talking about video (. Avi,. Mpg, ...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
then, no need to replace mali.ko and related files.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
currently I'm working for CM9 on NOVO8. it's already booted and worked to some degree. I can see some errors so I want to fix them.

I want to add support (again) for other tablet but it will be delayed. sorry.

EDIT:

I just found some posts about ICS 4.0.1 ROM for NOVO8 on some other forums. I guess it's not official ROM and no source... then it may not be helpful for my development work. anyway I don't have enough time to try it, if you found some technically interesting things, please tell me.

but please don't use here for talking "where can I get?" "how to use it?" "how to customize it?" and so on. here is my dev thread for my CM/CWM work. (some of my other threads are almost filled by such kind of posts. I really don't like them)

EDIT2:

just unpacked ICS 4.0.1 ROM... hmm, interesting. it seems to use android source from amlogic... probably some proprietary files can be used for my CM9 :)

EDIT3:

I'm not sure but it seems ICS 4.0.1 ROM is based on ramos W6HD 4.0.1 ROM. there are unofficial(?) 4.0.3 ROM on chinese bbs too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BluBoy:
Hey,

I just wanted to see if there is anything I can do to help get this moving.

I have the Ramos W6HD, running the 20120115 (Android 4.0.3) ROM at the moment. My device is rooted, and I've just set up the dev environment so I can pull/push any files to test it.

Have you uploaded your latest work anywhere? I'm keen to help out where I can.

Hi hillbeast!

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

before compiling the file you need to patch

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hillbeast:
Do you want the camera source codes from Amlogic for Gingerbread? I have the entire GIT repo for Gingerbread and Froyo on my computer from Amlogic, but not from Ainol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dandel:
I personally would like to take a good look at this to see if I can find what is needed to properly fix the compile on my device. (and other pandigital devices )

As a current references,

For pandigital Nova, uses refb21.

For Pandigital Stall it's dependent on refb17 ( at least my model ).

For pandigital Planet, is probably refb24 or refb21... I can't confirm this since I have not seen any Owners post the configuration file for this model.

As for the configurations, The current devices appear to require CONFIG_I2C_SW_AML to work with the refb series of devices. Currently, I know the following defines prevent this from working...

MESON_I2C_PREG_GPIOB_OUTLVL, MESON_I2C_PREG_GPIOB_INLVL, and MESON_I2C_PREG_GPIOB_OE ( All of these should appear in include/linux/i2c-aml.h around the defines for MESON_I2C_PREG_GPIO )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
about CM9,

I found it always gets bootloop after reboot :(

I need to wipe dalvik-cache to stop bootloop, but it happens again after reboot...

I tried to fix this issue but currently I couldn't fix it yet. probably it needs more time, but I'm really busy :(

then, I'll upload demo CM9 image and my source repo w/o fixing bootloop. please understand it must not be for daily use.

please give me some more time...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hillbeast:
I'm not working on the kernel but I am currently testing CM7. The one problem I have (and a problem I experience on the stock kernels as well) is the tablet refusing to do hardware acceleration of videos except for in the Ainol video player, which is a pain because that program doesn't work very well.

Here are the camera sources:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hillbeast:
Thanks that'll be great. This is the one thing holding back CM7 for the tablet in my opinion. The camera on this tablet was so crap that it's not a loss that it doesn't work, it's just getting videos working great is what will make me leave Ainols weird firmware completely.

Also I have modified your kernel to suit my needs a little. I added busybox, sh, and all the other associated stuff, and init.d support (I think CM7 has it already but I added it anyway), and I reenabled the console service.

I will upload that if you wish.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] 8ovonnovo8:
HI,

First of all psquare thanks for your work. In other tablets with CM7 Roms, I saw that there is almost always a bar or dock with virtual keys function, in a screen's corner. I don't know if I explained it well..sorry for my bad English. Anyway in your ROM is it available? If so, how I can enable it?

Thanks in advance

Hi
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
if you asked complete procedure or source, sorry, I don't have it because I don't try yet. I just wanted to ask what you tried.

anyway, it's clear that new player need to be added to libmediaplayerservice like as pvplayer and stagefright.

I don't say it's only one true solution. you may try to add hw support to codecs used by stagefright.

or you may try binary libmediaplayerservice.so from stock rom but I don't know this easy way can work for NOVO8.

I also want to try my ideas but currently I have no time at all :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hillbeast:
Well I added the stagefright omx's but that didn't help it out at all. I get the same error in logcat (I forgot the error code, but Google turned up nothing). It might not be referencing the omx's correctly? I'm not sure.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
well... at first I was talking about amplayer.

"add stagefright files" way will work on some another device which uses stagefright player but our tablets aren't.

----

in general I'm talking about things like modifying source code. of course there are files/lines to be added to CM image from stock rom. but I don't think everything can be solved by "just adding files/lines".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
Hi 8ovonnovo8,

thanks for your credits.

I don't know, maybe is an external application..

I have included everything!

I'm sorry
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fun_:
I think he is talking about "tablet tweaks" in CM7.

it was enabled in my very 1st CM7 for NOVO8 but soon disabled because NOVO8 has a lot of buttons on front. recently I re-enabled it because I started to support other tablets.

next my CM7 image will have it (if it will be released...)
