Is wifi working on the latest 2.6 kernel RC release?

i know that native wifi tethering isnt working, but can i use android wifi tether, posted in Ioconcito thread, to use tether?

Im sorry for asking this instead of just flashing the roms and "find out" but i can't due to time and the fact that this is my only phone.

thnx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Adriian44:
Yes, wifi is working in the RC1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alejandro.pastrana:
Can you please tell us if wifi tethering works on this release?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] felaipes:

As far as I know wifi doesn't work unless you restore access points from your Google account or titanium backup. For all 2.6.x builds.

Woah. Message sent. I need not say no more.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
The problems with wifi on the latest builds are due to changes I'm making in the kernel and the ROM to try to make wl12xx wifi modules work natively and fulfix wifi. It's a work in progress and I don't know if I'll be able to do it but I'm just trying, that's why it isn't working, because they are the test builds.

No worries buddy. You're doing good. :good:

CM10.1-20130527 - test

@ rodero95

Hi ... :) Installed CM10.1-20130527.

Wi Fi - works. The points do not automatically look for, but if you type the name of the points manually, and it is connected.

Bluetooth - does not work.

Thank you for your work! :) Best wishes! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alejandro.pastrana:
Can you please check if wifi tethering works on this release?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
The latest build has been built from my jb-btwilink branch, which includes just changes for the btwilink driver (Bluetooth), not WiFi (which is my jb-wl12xx branch). So in this release WiFi still relays on prebuilt modules to work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Adriian44:
then in the latest version Bluetooth works but WIFI does not work?

My devices:

-GALAXY SCL I9003 with CM10.1 kernel 2.6 by David Rodero

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] felaipes:
Just installed the ROM

Is quite nice. I can confirm that native tethering or tethering thru android tethering apk isn't working.

Also, is there any way of getting rid of the options softkey in apps. I mean the 3 vertical dots.

I don't like the nav bar taking precious screen real state, so I disabled it. But the ROM still thinks I don't have a physical button for options, so its in every app.

Finally, is there any "cleanest way" to install a ROM? Since I'm not getting good performance all around the phone, but since no one is complaining, I suspect its my phone, since I've flashed like 4 ROMs in the last 2 months.

Thnx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Hi all:

The cleanest way to flash a ROM is to reflash the hole phone with ODIN to a stock ROM and then root and flash the ROM you like.

Also, as you have noticed, dhiru has finally released his CM10.1 with kernel 3.0.8 which is more less the same as mine (though mine had smartassv2 governor and other little things). So, since Dhiru is the original cm developer for our device, I will stop building CM-10.1 with kernel 3.0.8 and stop providing updates. I'll just keep working on the 2.6 kernel version.

As soon as I find time, I will update the op and I will also reset the GetCM server and start from the beginning with just the latest build of my cm-10.1 over kernel 2.6
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
thanks man keep your cool work
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Smart decision. I think 2.6 kernel version only requires bluetooth fix. If it get fixed then it will be a nearly perfect cm10.1 rom :) I am eagerly waiting for fix.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:

Hi all

I just wanted to know if wifi is working on the lastest 2.6 kernel build ??

[MENTION=4733729]rodero95[/MENTION]

Big thanks to you this CM10.1 with 2.6 is the best rom for daily ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] danierakes:
If im not mistaken wifi is working but need to add connection manually...or just wait rodero to answer..

~radio friendly unit shifter~
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
i need V3 kernel where i can find it ...

if i change the kernel i get bootloop on this cm10.1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
For kernel 3.0.8 builds refer to Dhiru's thread. I'm not compiling it anymore since there's an official release out there by dhiru now. The only change between dhiru's kernel and mine is the smartassv2 governor, which mine has, so you won't loose much.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
ok bro
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Anyway, if you are specially interested in having that governor, I could release just the kernel as an update to flash over dhiru's build, every time dhiru makes a change to his kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] abderrezak:
if you can plz :)

now i need for alpha2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] danierakes:
Rodero,ningún progreso con el kernel 2.6? espero bichos wifi fijados en próxima versión

~radio friendly unit shifter~
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
It is not necessary that the lib HW modules and boot.img to switch on both base

Other changes are capricious in both building

then there must be a very good addition and removal script

towards A2 and others to David

drop the idea
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
Build date 31 may has many bugs ....

Vibrator doesnt work

Wifi doesnt switch on.

Bluetooth wasnt working as well.

Camera was working..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Yes, that problems are due to missing modules on the build. That's why I rebuilt the modules with the latest kernel build, which is available as another zip.

Anyway, that are just testing builds so that's why I didn't mention anything here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
Wifi and bluetooth still doesnt work after flashing that kernel..

Only vibrator works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Adriian44:
How do you take the ROM @ rodero95? David, if you're going to work more on kernel 3 would be good to you to lock the two pages "cloud" and were to put on your getcm the 2.6 kernel cm10.1 download. And I encourage that these working fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Hi all:

Just wanted to keep you updated of how things are going as I'm just so busy with final exams at the high school and music studies that I haven't had time to work on this.

As I said, I'm not gonna work on the kernel 3 version of this ROM as there's an "official" release out there made by dhiru now. But I'll still be giving you updates of the kernel with latest dhiru's changes plus the smartassv2 governor and sio scheduler, just if some one wants it.

What I'll work on most in the next weeks (I end my exams in one week) is on the 2.6 kernel. My challenge is to make the native wl12xx drivers work on our current 2.6 kernel as that is the only way to fully fix WiFi and that is the way it should be done instead of using old, buggy, pre-built modules. Even dhiru hasn't been able to get it so I know it will be difficult but that's what I'm working on right now.

Right after that, I'll try to correctly update and implement the Bluetooth driver just as it is done on the 3.0 kernel and the way Texas Instruments tells it should be done. That should fix Bluetooth on 4.2 with kernel 2.6.

And, finally, after that, I'll try to make Android better by porting LoSconosciuto patches from cm10 to cm10.1 (mostly OMX patches and system performance patches) in order to achieve the goal of having one decent updated ROM for out device.

Well, as I had also said already, as soon as I get time, the first thing I'm gonna do is to update this entire thread or maybe close it and start a new one, I'll see what I do, and restart everything from the beginning, the build servers, the getcm server and to delete all the old work to just start from the beginning.

Then, after that, I'm gonna modify the getcm server to add a new update category: kernel, so that you can update just the kernel in the same way you do with the ROM, from settings.

And well, of course, I will use that new server for just 2.6 releases, for 3.0.8 kernel updates you'll have to manually install them from recovery.

And that's my planning for this summer, I hope to get to do as much as I can.

I'll update everything again as soon as I have time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I've already ported the OMX patches, but I think they are not perfect. I didn't use cm-10.1 that much, just a couple of hours.

Maybe you could comapare my changes with this commit, I see there are some little differences.

Anyway, most of the performance patches I'm using are already part of cm-10.1. I picked most of them from gerrit, but they are now merged, so you don't have to do anything. The only ones not included should be:

This (you have to manually modify the BoardConfig.mk because of the custom compiler flags I set. See device_patch.zip)

All the changes reverted with this commit except 0723288.

I know you are trying to port the opensource drivers, but in the meantime, if you want to use the prebuilt stuff, I've already ported my framework patches to make wpa_supplicant work as good as in my CM10 builds.

I didn't fix the build of hostapd, but if you include the one I build for CM10 in your builds (include tiap_drv.ko), WiFi tethering will work with this with no changes.

You can find everything here.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
One question.. Why?

Soon or later I would iron out all the bugs in 3.0 kernel. In that case, what is the use of putting in so much of effort on an old kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
Its just a side build for users who want 4.2.2 but cannot live with current bugs of kernel 3.

And also kernel 2.6 doesnt throws up that blacklight issue. So that is a real plus thing for me atleast...

Now its upto rodero and dhiru.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
Wow great dev's parts ^^

I think David just has a great respect for you Dhiru

It to be useful in providing an alternative between your development and that of loSco

We are aware that your unions could produce wonders

In the present case we can say that our good old SLC is not the abandonment

Just look at the other sections to see all the worlds by providing the maximum in its limits

Everyone has time of need help if I could make myself useful
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
What have you tried so far?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Hi all again:

[MENTION=4349695]loSconosciuto[/MENTION]

Yes, I know that, I had already ported some of your patches that weren't already merged on cm-10.1 like the OMX and wireless enum ones some time ago, before you released the patches ported for cm-10.1 but, as the code changes, the OMX ones, for example, can't be applied cleanly, that's what I meant, I'll have to manually apply them.

And yes, with the releases I've made with working WiFi, it works thanks to your patches, I've got different branches and the code from the "stable" branch includes your patches. Thank you for that!

[MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION]

The one and only reason I'm still working with the old kernel is what I said at the beginning of this all some months ago: I'm just learning. I started all of this because I wanted to learn about kernel and android development, how everything works and how things should be made.

As I am not a professional like you, I prefer to work to "old, well known code", at least for now, just for learning.

What I'm working on right now on the wl12xx porting is to add the necessary board code to make them work, I'm compiling them from a Quarxk2k fork, who has already ported them to the 2.6 kernel used on the Motorola defy and has fixed the compiler errors. The thing is, I think I have all the board code in place, taking as a base the code on TI's wiki, observations on Quarx changes and code from your 3.0.8 kernel, but it is still not working.

When looking at dmesg I can see the kernel gives an error when trying to reserve a GPIO pin which I guess could be related to this. Maybe there's some old code which is using this pin before the new code does? I don't know. I'll have a look at it as soon as I have time, but I think I'll be able to make them work... I just need more time to double-check that everything is OK.

If any of you is interested, the branch on my github repos is the jb-wl12xx

(On my repos, jellybean or jb refers to 4.2.2 over 2.6 kernel and cm-10.1 4.2.2 over 3.0.8 kernel).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
Don't copy code from other devices. Have a look at my old commits for 3.0 kernel when I was porting the wifi driver.

If you are having GPIO issues maybe this will fix it.

https://github.com/dhiru1602/androi...mmit/e056cff63b86a21d2481323eed449a80d5f3e861
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Hi again:

I don't literally copy code from other devices, I just look at the changes they made to try to understand what they make and apply them on our source.

And what you comment about the GPIO makes sense to me. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks!

@ rodero..

just like to share my experience with the new kernel

and maybe thomis will help in a small way..

i started using the experimental build 4 days..

as i am using a plan for 3G and i dont turn it off..

1 time i try to turn it off and see if i will have SOD..

with out 3G i got an SOD..

i think its broken some where in (RIL) but tomorow

since i sont have work i stay on wifi and post the result.

im on alpha 5 experimental..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Hello all:

Sorry for not being here so frequently this weekend, I've busy with personal things.

I haven't had such problem until now, has anybody experimented such behaviour?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mhajho29:
well as 1 of the problems that was listed in dhirus docs

it cause the phone crash or somethin.. im not saying im right

since im not a developer... but maybe..

since i cant explain also why i dont get any SOD.... and others do..

or is it because that im running 3G always my battery consumption

is high unlike with wifi on...

since its also mentioned that theres a problem with the battery

driver and its causing instability...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rodero95:
Yes, it was a known problem of the 3.0 kernel but Dhirufixed it before he released the kernel, that's why I say that I don't think it's got to do with the kernel now :)

Doubt with sd card.

I don't know why, but I can never get CWM to detect my SD card for flashing any rom, I'm still able to flash throught internal storage, but when I use install from sd card it says that there isn't anything in the sd card, like it didnt existed.

I tried mounting /sdcard and USB storage but it's useless.

It really doesn't matter, 'cause the sd still work inside the phone, but it bothers me that I have to use the internal storage to install ROMs.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Well I know that seemed offtopic but I created this post while flashing CM10.1, which is working as charm right now, 3 hs from 100% to 60%, pretty nice for a first battery cycle.

The other thing I dont know is why that /dbdata thing doesn't exist in my phone, when I try to do the format /dbdata step nothing appears, but, it works anyway.

Anyways thank you very much for your work, i'm starting to learn c++ development so I hope some day I can help you guys porting this stuff.:good:

Been testing for 24 hrs, no SODs, no Freezes and no lag whatsoever.

-BT doesn't work as you said.

-Wi-Fi works perfectly, it doesn't disconnect every 10 mins like it did back in GB.

-Wifi AP doesn't work as you stated too.

-Multitasking is working fairly smooth.

-Screen Tearing is standable, you won't hate it. And yes, it's exactly the same thing that happens in a game when Vsync is turned off, that half of the screen moves slowler than the other.

-Battery backup is acceptable/good, got from 100 to 60 from 6am to 2pm then I started playing around and got from 60 to 20 from 2pm to 6pm, so I guess if I let the phone without using i could easily make it last 'till the night.

-I use airdroid so USB is not a problem

The only thing that I cant get it to work is to make the connection Wcdma only, I've tried with *#*#4636*#*# but it turns itself back to "WCDMA preferred" type of network a while after changing it to "WCDMA only"

I need it to be WCDMA only because I use 3G all the time.
