[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mr.Moriarty:
Should we put this boot.img file while on pink screen.

I read the first page.But i can't see that ,where is the place of boot.img.

Sorry about this silly question :o

Thank you fjsferreira.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, if you have usb storage access in pink mode, you can put it in the "image" folder, or you can copy it directly with root explorer to ./cust_backup/image/ and then reboot. If you can't see that folder with root explorer, go to options and make sure it's set to show invisible files. It's in the root of filesystem, where /system/ and /etc/ folders are with all the others :D

Of course, in both cases, replace the original boot.img.

i have tryed the new kernel "Make button backlight even brighter" and the lights to turn on must change to autobright, but backlight are brighter...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
This is a know bug, Dzo already fixed it today in git, but only in the next Aurora release it will be fixed... it's not kernel related, so no matter what kernel we use, lights only turn on when changing the brightness mode... if we reboot the phone in manual modes, the lights are off again...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yusuf7x:
fjsferreira can you compile this kernel to work with usb otg?

sorry for my bad english :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
You can use make -jx to speed up the compilation.

ie, if you have 2 cores, use

make -j3

for 4 use -j5 :)

Hello,

I'm new to the whole kernel building (in android), but I'd like to build kernel modules (particularly the cifs module) for the latest 3.0.8 (2012/04/11) kernel. Could someone post some info on how to do it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tmoppa:
This. I would very much appreciate information about these two things.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I'm sorry guys, can't help about this, I know nothing about building specific modules or changing stuff in the kernel without instructions... maybe you could ask dzo directly, he seems to be very helpful regarding these technical stuff (even this guide was based in his instructions)...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
Compiling kernel is fun stuff. The kernel after installed shows Android@localhost, how can i put username@hostname?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, it's fun isn't it? :D

That's also one thing I looked into but didn't find an answer anywhere... I know it's possible, for example, ezet's ROM has it like "ezet@u8800", but i don't know how it's done :S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] technowizard17:
it's according to your host pc name. Open terminal and type this command:

gksu gedit /etc/hostname

Then change the name to whatever you like and save the file. for example, change it to "myPC"

Next, while command console is still open, type the command below to open the hosts file

gksu gedit /etc/hosts

Change the name below the localhost. it's should look like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 [B]myPC[/B]

to complete the change and save the file. CMIIW
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
Thanks, but already done this, mmust be some building config, but I can't find it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] technowizard17:
Do you mean config when building kernel? When you've finished compiling your own kernel, it should changed at the information. I have an experience on building kernel and that's my method to change the "info" of "username@localhost" :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
On 3.x kernels, do "make menuconfig", move to General setup->Default hostname and set your name. Also, the Local version is good to keep in mind too, for easy version management.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
hi Blefish i think once you have wifi and sim network fixed you should open a thread here in xda abou you CM9 room...

i have allready tryed it and its smooth and working great but no wifi and no network :(

do you have any prevision?

are you using 3.0.8 kernel in CM9?

i apreciate tour work. thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, but I am using the very latest CAF code, could bring problems but also solve them. I'll open XDA thread once Wi-Fi and RIL is working, though I want to get calling working, so audio and microphone too. Then we'll see :).

Let's keep the thread on topic, don't want this to get derailed too :/.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
Thanks, it worked partially. I changed Local version string and worked (blue), but the string i used for Default Hostname (red) didn't changed, it stayed Android@localhost plus a #3 that increments every time I compile... any more ideas?

Thanks.

Edit: I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 x64 and used this commands:

cd ~/kernel_huawei
git pull
git log
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/stk/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
make u8800_defconfig
make menuconfig
make -j3
abootimg -u boot.img -k arch/arm/boot/zImage
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
I think it is to do with a use name in a line in the make file as to what gets displayed there, will try to look tonight or tomorrow.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Anyone know why my kernel zimage would be 2.7mb instead of the 3.9mb that DZO's zimage currently is?

To @faekplastik3s:

Did you do "make mrproper" or even "make distclean" before moving to newkernel branch? First move back to the old branch, do those commands, then move to the new one, do them again and then try to compile.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Same thing happens, fails to compile at exactly the same point.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] forumber2:
@faekplastik3s

The include files of vidc are missing. Did you try reclone it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
What do you mean? Deleting kernel_huawei and doing

git clone https://github.com/dzo/kernel_huawei.git

again? As soon as I do checkout newkernel it fails to compile. Am I using the wrong command to switch branches?

EDIT: Well, I figured it out, kind of.

The reason I was having trouble updating the boot.img after compiling master is because I was using the boot.img attached in the first post. After using a boot.img from a updated Aurora build, it updates correctly. However, the problem with newkernel remains, except that now I can build it and have working telephony/USB/etc (I suppose it was a conflict with the old boot.img). However, it still fails to compile unless I resolve the conflicts manually, which is strange I suppose, but it does work. The OP should update the first post. Thanks for all your help, guys!

I figure i would post this in the General section, as this might help others that may need help setting up their static ip .

Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.

1. go to system settings

2. click on wifi

3. click on add network

4. enter your network ssid

5. choose your security

6. enter your password for you network

7. click save

ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.

once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2

you will see your network and it should say connected.

long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.

1 forget network

2 modify network config.

click on modify network config

it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"

click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)

scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes

1 proxy settings

2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.

once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..

1 ip address

2 gateway

3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)

4 dns 1

5 dns 2

6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL

I hope this helps everyone. Sorry for putting up these instructions late, but unfortunatlly i got a little busy trying to fix a loss of root.

If this helped hit the Thanks button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jackler1:
I would recommend that anyone wanting to get a "static" ip address go into there router and tell there router to set the ip from the mac address. A little of work because it depends on how to do it from router to router but works well in dd-wrt.

You can find how to set static leases in dd-wrt under the "services" tab. This simply allows you to keep your phone a dhcp phone when abroad while keeping a specific ip while at home. In fact, I get the mac address of every device on my network and use this table to set my house statically without having to do anything on the device itself. Comes in handy to know what devices have what ip and therefore and easy way to keep on top of your network security.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
^^ that's what I do too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
I also do this. With 10 devices connected and 4 of them I need to know the static address for things to work properly. I can't imagine setting static on each device. Its like a 3 click process via my router regardless of what OS the device is running.

Save static IP in Galaxy S2 ICS

Hi,

After many tries I've found that in order to save a static IP WIFI entry in a Samsung Galaxy S2 under Ice Cream Sandwich you need to fill ALL fields, even the "Network prefix length" field (whatever that is).

So, even though it shows "24", that field is actually empty. Just enter all your IPs

plus

24 in that field and you're done.

JP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phillybits:
I'm assuming 24 refers to /24

or 255.255.255.0, which is the subnet for a Class C network and the default network in most home home routers that assign DHCP.

*However* - depending on how you like to manage your own home network, starting from your router, it doesn't necessarily have to be a /24 network. Yes it's more work, but it's not the only option.

(At least I think I'm right. Cisco courses were several semesters ago. ;p)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
The "24" left untouched works fine on my SR on UCLE2. What "that is" is the bit length (measured by 8 bits per dot-delimited octet) of the network label portion of an IP address. Where 192.168.1.XXX IDs the network and the Xs are available for node IDs or endpoints. The first 3 octets there are a 24 bit prefix.

On SR and Cappy in ICS I have found that default entry holds when appropriate. What did you mean "Just enter all your IPs

plus

24 in that field and you're done." ?

That will work equally. The 255s indicate the potential node IDs in octets 1-3 are blocked as part of the network ID and the 0 in the 4th octet opens all (255 potential node IDs for assignment) in this subnet mask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yani2000:
On my friend's Xperia Active, that just got updated to ICS, I also tried to quickly input some fields under advanced menu to see if the WiFi would work.

Boy was I wrong!

I had to delete my old WiFi connection, then I had to follow these step-by-step instructions and I had to fill ALL fields in one stroke after pressing "Save". Only then the WiFi worked normally, else it wouldn't transmit data over the internet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] galaxyuser88:
Well if you followed the directions correctly then you should be able to connect. I have done it this way over and over everytime i change roms, and it works everytime.

Sounds like u are connected to a ghost ip address that says u are connected but not connected to the real ip address. If you have your router setup with a static ip address, then these directions will work. If you have it set to dhcp on your router than all you have to do is set your name, security,password and then the phone should do the rest.

here u will get a unlock code, then u have to use that code to unlock bootloader via flashtool and preserve unlock code for future use!!

3.after unlocking bootloader then u have to flash custom kernel then custom rom.

I use dato gtasks for my to do list and task manager. It is a very good app but has two major shortcomings for my style of usage.

1. It deletes recurring tasks when the app is updated.

2. It doesn't show the next recurring task until the actual due date.

Number one isn't exactly the fault of the app as Google tasks doesn't have a facility for recurring tasks and my guess is that the recurring task is saved locally.

I'm looking for an app that will get by these two issues, will allow multiple lists and ideally sync with Google tasks.
