Help Please

Let me start off by saying, thank you so much for your hard work and interest in our technology needs/wants! Now...please guide me- the Multimedia, and joystick goodies are in which DL Pack? Development Overlay -Revision2 is designed for video only? I tried to make sense of it all but got caught up in it's glory! Just now coming down from my KERNEL HIGH and things are foggy. :p
[Xoom Android Development] stevefxp:
IS there any hope to allow the Xoom to mount to a Windows PC as a logical drive, or is MTP the only way to go?
[Xoom Android Development] Craxx:
Hy bigrushdog,

...in the changelog from today i see a update to kernel 3.06 and the implement of usb ethernet. So i do not need your package anymore?

There seems to be a problem with the Tiamat 3.0.5 Kernel Driver Module Pack rev 4. (or maybe rev 2 too)

The zip has a lot of modules, but when installed only a few get installed?

ex. usb_wwan.ko, option.ko etc. are missing.

EDIT:

Now i installed the Module pack rev 2. on a fresh 78 wingray nightly. Installed gapps, and development overlay rev2. And it has only the first 31 modules from the zip installed(sorted alphabetically).

On the 2nd flash all missing modules got installed. (there were warrnings/errors when flashing the zip the 1st time AFAIK).

I'm also missing the chat or chat-ril binary for the pppd.

Would also suggest adding usb_modeswitch to the dev. overlay.
[Xoom Android Development] liftman-:
I had the same issues, 2 flashes for everything to get in place, but no errors when flashing.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Guys I think I'm making a rookie mistake. When I try to modprobe I get an error chdir /lib/modules no such file or directory. I can insmod a module just fine.

I'm also not seeing all the modules. What is the recommended flash order?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
The overlay contains the pittpatt symlinker that makes 25mb free space. Since its an init.d script, you have to flash overlay then reboot. Then go back to recovery and flash the modules. However, nobody on Earth needs all the modules so you should hand pick only the stacks you need anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] zerox981:
I also have some issues with modprobe. I can not add or remove modules. The message I am getting is always

modprobe: chdir(2.6.39.4-Tiamat-g2523b85-dirty): No such file or directory.

Although the startup script that loads modules seems to work, because all the modules are loaded (checked it with lsusb).

But insmod seems to work:) ...

EDIT

Any chance of adding usbserial.ko?

[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Yep. Sorry about that. Looks like a borked upload. Ill get it fixed tonight.
[Xoom Android Development] zerox981:
bigrushdog is it possible to patch option.c. It seems to be missing the Vodafone K4605 modem. I don't know if this helps: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1435727

I finally got my 3g dongle working (at least I am seeing /dev/ttyUSB0 andttyUSB1 now and modem is responding to the AT command).

All I had to do was

echo "12d1 14c6" >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/option/module/drivers/usb-serial:option1/new_id

So after calling usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1_14c1 the modem apperars.

SimpleWebCam.apk

With a little brainstorming - The light came on ... (face palm)

Just have it call volume down and power and screen capture the streaming video image u r viewing. I makes total sense. I don't know why I did not see this before. Look at it this way, u r using a web cam, whats the res of said cam? Its going to be the same resolution... so in essence you are not loosing any picture quality if you just simply taking a screen shot.

So just either physically power + vlm down, or the cleaner way ...from the source add a button in the APK and have the button call system event keys of power and volume down for a few seconds and BOOYA there is your button for taking Still Photos. Just MOD SimpleWebCam.apk

NOW You can update your post LOL - :p

I have a new overlay to upload. I'm integrating the driver pack kernel with the overlay to simplify things. Also, we have been merging fresh kernel commits almost every day. And there are even more tonight. And I want this next overlay to be as up to date as possible. I've moved all the modules to /data/local/lib/modules then symlink them to system. It works great and leaves plenty of system storage. I've also done this with some libs and bins as well. And yes MJ look for a pm for a overlay with a personalized kernel. After I post this overlay, you guys start taking a hard look at WifiDirect. The possibilities are endless.

Fresh overlay is up with the latest greatest newest Tiamat Xoom kernel. MJ check ur pm ;D
[Xoom Android Development] dpl73:
Hi

This sounds good, I look forward to seeing it.

However, excuse the noob question, but whenever I have flashed the previous releases, my bluetooth has stopped working (will not switch on) and I have had to reflash the nightly I was using prior to the module pack. I've got a Wingray/MZ604 with (currently): 2.6.39.4-Tiamat-3.0.8-gpuoc-02110-gd91544f [TeamEOS ICS 1.0 Nightly 84].

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

My Bad; I've just noticed that the latest pack is based on Tiamiat-3.09. Is this, or has it been in the past, my problem?
[Xoom Android Development] ben ifin:
Hi bigrushdog

With these latest updates, have you been able to fix the USB Tethering issue of the hard-re-boot when disconnecting ?

Ben
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Bluetooth is cool now. Promise :rolleyes:

No. But to be honest, I haven't looked into it yet. However, we got ALOT of kernel activity now so I will update the overlay more often. Thus I will look into the rndis_host bork.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Sweet my bluetooth is back :) wifi direct looks very interesting. Downloading now.

Thanks again
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Later ill do a write up on what I have found with wifi direct. Bad news is I have yet to see any other ics build on any device get it to work except for Eos. There are no apps that use wifiDirect as there is no platform support, except for Eos. I could be wrong, but I don't even think all the gnex guys have gotten it yet. Feel free to correct me on that :p .But the sdk has the full wifiDirect API so folks can start writing apps for it.

Thanks for your works.Pls guide me how to use usb wireless dongle ?I loaded rt2800usb module successful.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
/me takes a bow :cool:

Ill have yet another overlay in a couple days or so. I wanna keep the kernel updated with our tiamat base. There has been a lot of merges, including some great work from developer zacharias.Mandelbrot. I'm trying to squash the rndis_host reboot bug. I've merged the latest version from 3.3. Also, I've updated option.c for the data dongles. And some other misc patches.And honestly, this kernel feels smoking fast at stock clock.

Can my custom kerny get this update as well DEV Master? :o
[Xoom Android Development] Democreature:
Lost in the Details

I have come to the conclusion that I am an end user with no experience what so ever. I've tried in vain with no success. I have an external USB wireless adapter which I have tirelessly tried to start. With no luck.

1. I loaded the overly

2. I go to terminal (on Xoom)

3. Go to the module directory

4. adb shell

5. modprobe rtl8187

nothing happens

I still can't find where to disable the internal wifi .ko

I'm running the nightly 90 rooted

Basically I have no clue what I am doing even after reading and reading.
[Xoom Android Development] Mjamocha:
Is your wireless adapter RTL8187?
[Xoom Android Development] Democreature:
My bad I meant to say "bcmdhd.ko "
[Xoom Android Development] Democreature:
That is the one the Tegra said to disable
[Xoom Android Development] tadiv:
When I got the USB Tether working, I disabled the internal wifi just by using the standard wifi settings - that should work, I think, because really, once it's working you'll be getting your internet connection via USB (via wifi, but to the Xoom it looks like USB)...

Hope this helps some...

Tom
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Nothing personal. You guys are not following instructions. I never said to disable any modules. You won't find bcmdhd.ko because its built into the kernel. You don't even have to modprobe anything because my init scripts do it on boot. The whole idea of supporting wireless dongles is so they are used with Backtrack. I provide no support for native Android because that would be stupid and pointless. Everybody in this thread, read the OP then read it again. This is a development thread. Not "ZOMG I keep faling! Halp! " seeing I'm the only one developing in this thread I may close it. The idea was collaboration not babysitting. Nothing personal people, just enough is enough sometimes.
[Xoom Android Development] Democreature:
No disrespect bigrushdog I was just lost and needed a boost. My bad..
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I apologize if i came off as insensitive. The topics and tools in this thread are rather advanced. And after some feedback from users, ill try to reorganize or clean up or do something with the OP. A lot of this stuff is bleeding edge android and sometimes there are no simple answers or explanations. Ill try to make this thread more user-centric as that seems the direction this thread wants to go.

I got my webcam to work with XOOM. Is anyone else getting very low framerate? Mine is about 3-4 frames/second. Also, the initial delay (time between I start the application and the time I see first frame is way too long, like 10-15 seconds). Is it because our ICS builds are not native or is it my webcam?

PS Will play around with source code for the Android app to add some on-screen stats.

Keep in mind guys, the webcam is only proof of concept atm. When I'm not so busy with the rom I'll see what I can do with that app. Should have a overlay update in a few days. I'm currently testing out a zram module. And doing some testing on rndis_host and a makeshift adhoc solution.

Is there any sort of thing overlay wise that can be done to overcome the DRM issue with an unlocked bootloader or are we pretty much screwed for anything that needs it?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Depends on the drm issue. Its been shown using SuperSU app to hide root enables Google video. More of a root issue than drm though. Ill put out another update soon. Next drop will have a make shift adhoc solution.
[Xoom Android Development] EtchG:
The issue is with apps like Hulu Plus. The dreaded Error 93 which is DRM plugins (keys?) that are not present.

I have been digging around online and the issue is apparently with an unlocked bootloader. It either deletes or disables the DRM keys/plugins.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I haven't researched this issue but I'm inclined to say its the price of unlocking the device .

I see there's a bunch of drivers listed in the first post and they seem to support a wide range of USB devices, but is there a possibility of hooking a printer up? I honestly don't know that much about drivers and linux, but I was thinking it'd be pretty cool if you could hook up a printer directly to the xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] Cubanluke88:
I don't think it is. Bugless beast had it working on one of the builds. Not sure if its working on the latest.

Edit: just tested and hulu plus tablet version works on the 4-6-12 build for bugless beast but not the latest build 4-9-12. Though the error on the latest build is not the drm error. Its

Edit 2: nevermind it doesn't work on either version now. It looks like the app was updated on may 1st. I'm going to try and find an older version.

Generating a .zip

If you have seen the posts I have made on this tread, you know that I have a modified 06modules file that only loads the single module I want to use. Since I run the Nightly Wingray builds, every time I reapply this package to a new build by flashing the .zip file, I have to manually copy my modified 06modules file over the one that comes with this zip. My question is - Is there a way for me to create my own .zip file that only contains my modified 06modules file that I could flash after this zip and thus avoid the manual operations?

Thanks,
