dude, this SoC is dead and there are enough tutorials for porting ROM`s to your device. also, i cannot tell you "yeah, download this and that and then do that" because i would need your device in my hand. so, just google search (or XDA-search) your way to a custom ROM.

basically, download , for example, balamu96's silverlight ROM for mt6573. next, backup your device to get a clean mirror of your firmware. download dsixda's kitchen (at least you need a linux VM and some basic knowledge), load the ROM you want to port into it (in this case the silverlight ROM) and patch your kernel into his ROM and patch your modem drivers into his ROM (tutorials are widely available here on XDA). dsixda's kitchen will make a flashable *.zip file, put that on your SD card and flash it through a custom recovery. period. this thread was not ment to help you in getting a custom ROM. if you can't get to where you wan't, open a thread or visit all those "[HOW-TO] porting mt65xx ROM" threads. they are maybe for mt6575, mt6577 or mt6579, but basically this is all the same.

That's pretty cool! I'll have to give it a try. Learning as much as I can. Trying to get something going on a (older) MT6575 ICS tablet. So many stock ROMs for Lenovo A2107A but I can't get an FM Radio driver to work from one kernel to another.
[Android General] Chrizzly92:
those sources are meant for mt6573, wich is completely different to mt6575 and above.
[Android General] kuronosan:
I tried both of these methods and even developed a script to automatically append the image for repacking, but the kernel still won't boot. I'd say check out the source on my git, but I've been assured this is the complete and total source for the MT6572 device I'm trying to compile for.

Trouble is, no matter what I do it won't boot when I compile.
[Android General] Chrizzly92:
you need the correct deviceconfig and drivers for YOUR device. some kernels may boot on other devices, most will not.

Hi!

I have an alcatel ot-985, which is mt6573 based. I downloaded the source for my phone from sourceforge, and also downloaded the lenovo a60 source, cause my phone's source is not full. I modified the ProjectConfig.mk and some files and my phone succesfully boots up, but no wifi, no bluetooth, no fmradio, no gyrosensor and mobile communication also not works. How did you make it work Chrizzly92? I also have problem with buttons, the volume buttons changed(up is down and down is up), the home button ad the camera button doesn't work. As far as i know my phone have mt6620 combo 4in1 module, and the gps works with that combo driver, but nothing else. I made a custom ant dir from the WMT.cfg what i found in my phone, but it didn't help. Can you give me som instructions how did you make these functions work?
[Android General] stramuort:
I am trying to build a custom kernel for my Alcatel OT 991D using Alcatel's sources and .config file from their repository on sourceforge

Now Alcatel's sources lack mediatek's proprietary stuff and github/fanjunwei/mytqe seems to have been pulled out (does anyone have a copy?).

I tried Luckasfb's sources (github / luckasfb/OT_903D-kernel-2.6.35.7) that should work for a similar device, the 903D. After some tweaking the kernel compiles, but I end up in the usual undebuggable bootloop if I try to run it on my device.

In particular I noticed that a number of modules that I have on my device don't get created. These are:

mtk_drvb

lca_core

mtk_stp_core

mtk_stp_uart

mtk_hif_sdio

mtk_stp_wmt

mtk_stp_gps

mtk_stp_bt

mt6620_fm_drv

mtk_fm_priv

wlan 255335

ccci 196279

ccmni 16318

mt6573_m4u

mt6573_mfv_kernel_driver

sec

xlog

aed

Only pvrsrvkm and mtklfb are also generated by my sources.

Did anyone, anywhere in the world, manage to compile a kernel for the OT 991/991D ?

Thanks!
[Android General] crow896:
Hi!

I'm trying to compile a kernel for ot985, and i use this http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/OT_922_20121206.tar.xz/download source, and complete my ot985 source from that, because it's a full mt6573 source. My phone boot and almost everything works except the modem. On this forum qwe user made a kernel for his ot918 maybe he can help for you, and for me....

EDIT:

Here is the fanjunwei source, but I suggest to use this cause it worked for me. I downloaded the OT_985 source from sourceforge and the OT_922 source, then unpacked both and copied needed files from 922 to 985. After that modified in the mediatek/config/jrd73_gb/ProjectConfig.mk the touchpanel and the lcm(screen) driver for the correct ones to my phone. Now everything works except my camera button, home button and flashlight.
[Android General] stramuort:
This is what I do:

I unpack OT991D and OT922 and merge the mediatek directories (I copy mediatek from OT922 into OT991D without overwriting the existing files). At this point I have no idea of what to put in ProjectConfig.mk, and this is probably the problem... LCM_WIDTH and LCM_HEIGHT are correct, as the resolution is the same in OT922 and OT991, but apart from that I have no knowledge of the hardware of this phone, plus there are a gazillion parameters there....

However, I compile the thing as follows:

in OT_991D/kernel i set these environment variables:

TARGET_PRODUCT=jrd73_gb CROSS_COMPILE=../../AK-linaro/trunk/4.4.3-cm9/bin/arm-eabi- MTK_ROOT_CUSTOM=../mediatek/custom ARCH=arm

then I issue make menuconfig and enable swap, advanced router, tun, ramzswap and the ext2 filesystem.

then i issue ./build.sh release (or just make).

i replace the generated kernel in the boot.imgkernel_jrd73_gb.bin that I extracted from the working phone with abootimg -u boot.img -k kernel_jrd73_gb.bin

flash the new boot.img with flash_image in cwm and enjoy the boot loop ;)

I also tried flashing zImage, instead of kernel_jrd73_gb.bin. Beforehand I have to add the header from the working zImage extracted from boot.img, I do that with an hex editor, just copying and pasting the initial part of the file.

The result is the same: an andless bootloop.

The mediatek modules that are generated are also very different from those that I find in my phone, and that is probably due to the wrong settings in ProjectConfig.mk, or the mediatek directory not being complete.

I should probably add that I am not using the stock rom, but a mod by jeffta taken from this forum --> showthread.php?t=2120753. I think that i didn't mhange the kernel though.

I am about to give up :)
[Android General] crow896:
HI!

Do not merge the full folder, just copy the needed file!

I uploaded my source to my github, you can see which files you need to copy... In the ProjectConfig.mk search for touchpanel(2 lines) and modify those lines to mcs6024_proto, set the preloder and the uboot make lines to no and search for lcm lines and modify those to hx8357B.

Use the command I wrote in my github readme.md. If finished, get the zImage from the kernel/arc/arm/boot/, then make boot.img as HUELK posted here

I used my new boot.img with jeffta's cm7 ported to my phone, so no problem with custom rom....

EDIT:

You will also need your scatter file to modify the partition_define.h with the custpack partition line and modify the size of system partition to make place for custpack...

Here is my partition_define.h but compare with the sizes in your scatter file.

You can count the partitions size with windows calculator at the following way: for example for system size custpack address - system address in hexadecimal, and change it to decimal and devide with 1024.

EDIT2:

In HUELK's change this comand: dd if=zImageCustom of=zImageMod seek=512 to this: dd if=zImageCustom of=zImageMod bs=1 seek=512
[Android General] stramuort:
Theeere we go! Thank you very much crow!

I was adding the custpack and watchdog partitions *without* shrinking the others... :-/

The kernel boots now!

I had to leave CUSTOM_KERNEL_TOUCHPANEL =mstar_tp nmcs6024_proto in ProjectConfig.mk, because the kernel wasn't compiling without mstar_tp

Nothing works, the SIM cards don't get recognized, the touchpad doesn't work but I can finally activate my swap partition :D

here's the magnificient logcat -----> tny.cz / f56895e4

and the .config file I used -----> pastebin.com / ZswVBEb0

Still, the only modules that get compiled are the video ones: pvrsrvkm.ko mtklfb.ko, and they are much larger than those that came in the device. All the rest are missing from my build, this is what leads me to think that the mediatek directory may still lack some stuff (or that I need to learn what to put in ProjectConfig.mk).....

I am satisfied for today :D

Thanks for your help crow!
[Android General] crow896:
You're welcome. :)

First of all you have to find the correct touchpanel driver in your source. All Alcatel MTK board uses the Focaltech tpd, but they usually call it mcs6024_proto or nmcs6024_proto. The first one for me is the 3.5" and the second one is the 3.2", so you have to find your 4.0", but it should be the mcs6024_proto...

Did you change both of the toucpanel_hal and touchpanel_kernel lines?

Try this method, to make your phone works: delete everything from the mediatek/source/kernel/drivers dir, just leave those folders which were there in your phones source. Then start make the kernel, it will show errors which folders it needs to compile...

I'm sure that you don't need the lttng, the mouse and the misc folders.

In the .config, I just added swap support in general settings and ext2 fs support in filesystems. You should also add this line: CONFIG_MTK_SIM2 = yes, or set it in menuconfigs mediatek drivers menu, because of the "D" in the phone's name ;)

Youre phone doesn't have pro_info partition? Check it in your scatter or in the mediatek engeneer menu, and if have add to the partition_define.h and to the partition.c, cause in my phone pro_info contains some needed data for the phone...

If still no network, you shold set GEMINI in the ProjectConfig.mk, cause when i set gemini in my phone's build.prop it shows 2 sim slot on the lockscreen...

For the modules add the "config_debug_section_mismatch=y" command to the make line it will show the module errors...

I hope you can make it work ;)

Hi ladies & gentlemen, especially technical gurus,

Does anyone know how to add aptX for our SGT? I list some ideas, including "ridiculous" ideas, at least give you guys a good laugh.

What is aptX?

http://www.csr.com/products/60/aptx

Proof of aptX is better than SBC on electro-acoustic measurement in full digital domain --> http://www.prismsound.com/test_measure/webinars.php?wid=19

Download the 140MB video webinar. Really good. Thanks to Simon WOOLLARD of Prism Sound. Great organization, Great webinar Simon !!! KUDOS !!!

a xda member managed to find the log cat of aptX running in android phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917962

So, choice of convenience / solution or by ranking of convenience: -

flash aptX codec into existing BT chip within Android phone. Requires purely software only. Does anyone have these software pacakges, tool, aptx codec? Mind me, aptX is a licence and needs to be paid, but surely CSR will not be collecting individually. Who am I to them :(

flash aptX codec directly into BT chip on phone PCBA. Requires software as above and needs to open up phone and hardwire direct to BT linkage. Can anyone do this?

Buy a 3.5mm stereo jack to BT aptX transmitter, choice of: -

http://www.jaybirdstore.com/s.nl/it.A/id.236/.f?sc=2&category=101 clearly shows aptX on the casing.

http://www.cndgroup.com.hk/e/product/product_detail.asp?sku=2127

but the chinese site doesn't says aptX at all http://www.woowi.com/product/201208/16.html#

Finally, unsolder out the Jaybird aptX chip and resolder into SGT and remove the old chip. Must be same PIN-OUT, manufacturer, type, etc. Kernel, OS, driver must support & match. Else doesn't work.

SGT individual PARTS breakdown, diagram,

http://originalspareparts.com.ua/phones/samsung/p1000_galaxy_tab#s

BT chip is U202	1205-004045	-	IC-BLUETOOTH

How about aptX LOSSLESS ?? http://www.csr.com/products/technology/aptX ??? pls click the lossless link. Does it mean currently on the market all are normal aptX and not LOSSLESS type?? the expensive type??

Just in case someone is interested, here's a forum chat with someone from aptX

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=78217

So, let the ridiculous CHAT beginssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cx5:
Well, incase you like such stories, aptX was bought by CSR 2010 Q3, http://www.google.com.hk/search?hl=...252.1707.0j10j2.12.0...0.0...1c.1.rfb882TLcA4

then 2012 Q3 Samsung bought the bluetooth division of CSR, of just the aptX division of CSR, well "mobile business" they call it, not the entire CSR anyway. http://www.google.com.hk/search?q=c...sugexp=chrome,mod=13&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cx5:
I tested one of the aptX combinations,

phone is S3 HK, rom is still original 4.1 I think, virgin, no root.

headphone is Denon AH-W200.

music player is default from S3. EQ setting is flat, nothing else engaged.

Other settings unknown, it's not my phone, not intruding to borrowers privacy, didn't manage to check other software settings.

Wired sound is termed as "MIDDLE, or normal". We are not reviewing AH-W200, we are just comparing between aptX vs. wired, vs. normal BT.

listening test (subjective), wired versus BT (assuming aptX is default engaged, as says by CSR)

During BT (assuming aptX is engaged), the bass is overloaded, not yet full distortion, not even slight distortion, just a good 10dB more than wired.

mids and highs are nearly as good as wired. Some moments can hear high frequency loosing out, but most of the time, ??? 80% or 90% is nearly as good as wired, if I did a blind test, probably I would know, but some moments it's just obvious lost of highs like old BT in SBC mode.

Should have borrowed the AW-H100 as well which is all same supposingly, except without aptX.

Anyway,

BT SBC vs. BT aptX

Obvious difference, BT SBC lost of bass even to wired, lost of highs is significant. Midrange clarity suffer some, but unknown if not perform a immediate swap A B test.

BT SBC was from P1000, rom alroger's 4.1.2, xing player apk, DSP manager all flat, WM8994 in all default settings, direct DAC, Hi-Fi playback.

Headphone is AW-H200

Verdict = aptX has significant improvement over SBC, I'm a believer now, but am not satisfied with the +10dB bass boost. Was it Denon's engineer liked bass so much added a EQ setting when aptX engaged?

Who know????
