^^ Dopod never have and are not intending to release this device in Australia. Dopod specialises in the asian markets, and at this stage dopod doesnt even have their act together enough to sell the device in Hong Kong where they actually have dopod outlets.

The imate-jasjam will be available in Australia at some stage, however from all accounts for in the short-term (1-3 months) it appears Telstra will have exclusive rights to this device and only they will sell it.

So yes 3G works fine

your options are import a TyTN variant from the internet or alternatively you can pay $1450 and order a jasjam through expansys NZ right now, or wait and see how much telstra charges for these.

[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Hey there!

As you know, I am new to this phone so I might be asking a lot of questions.

Now, I need to ask why the cmdline in vivo's kernel empty?

I mean, it is like this:

CONFIG_CMDLINE=""

But in other phones I have seen that it is like this:

CONFIG_CMDLINE="init=/sbin/init root=/dev/ram rw initrd=0x11000000,16M console=ttyDCC0 mem=88M ip=dhcp"

But when I looked into other HTC kernels, their cmdline was also empty.

My question is:

What is so different about HTC phones that their cmdline is empty? Is it because the bootloader already contains the cmdline?

Please, I would like a response to this as soon as possible.

Thank You.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I think all devices almost have this line in defconfig (I assume thats what you mean) empty. I had a look at Nexus devices and other HTC flagships. Even the google reference kernels in android.googlesource have this empty. I believe if a particular device has changed this, they have diverged from the reference as opposed to HTC diverging

your questions are appreciated, how is your project coming along :D

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Also, looking at CMs BoardConfig.mk for htc devices, it seems that they are setting a few things there for CMDLINE

Pyramid (Sensation JB):

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyHSL0 androidboot.hardware=pyramid no_console_suspend=1

m8:

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 ehci-hcd.park=3 androidboot.selinux=permissive

m7:

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31

Hammerhead (N5):

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=hammerhead user_debug=31 msm_watchdog_v2.enable=1

Yours for vivo:

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := no_console_suspend=1 console=null

All their kernel defconfigs have nothing in the CMDLINE as you posted above ""

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that androidboot.hardware is specifying which hardware repos its using? So the m7 and m8 both use generic QCOM CAF stuff, while hammerhead uses its own (since its open source) and Pyramid was before the unification of CAF in CM repos
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

I searched through the kernel source and did some research and it seems that vivo's command line is "pulled" from its bootloader. Basically, the bootloader gives the command line for the kernel. Hence, there is CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER configuration in 3.4 kernel to be enable for situations like this. In order to enable this configuration, I cannot have CONFIG_CMDLINE empty or not defined.

I know what the androidboot.hardware is for: this property tells the kernel which init file needs to be initiated. For example, if my property is androidboot.hardware=qcom then the kernel will initiate init.qcom.rc in the root directory. And if, for example, I use androidboot.hardware=vivo then the kernel will initiate init.vivo.rc. So, we can see that the file to be initiated would be called init.{androidboot.hardware}.rc. But, for some reason, our vivo does not use this property, neither does the Desire X. I am not sure why this is so, but maybe the bootloader passes instructions onto the kernel about which init script needs to be initiated first.

Thanks for asking about the project:

Well, it is not very easy. I was working on the jb_rel_rb2.2 branch from CAF. I tried to build cm11 with it, but it seemed that the kernel was missing a lot of userspace definitions. So, I tried to switch to kk_2.7-stable branch, but I wasn't able to complete a kernel-only build of that because CAF has stopped supporting msm7x30 devices, as far as my knowledge goes. Now, I am going to try porting the 3.4 kernel from Google, which was made for the Nexus 4 KitKat.

So, it took me a long time just to find the right kernel, and I hope that I won't have any problems with the Nexus 4 KitKat kernel. At least I didn't waste my time for nothing; I know what I am doing now, and I think I have figured out how to (at least) boot up the 3.4 kernel on the vivo.

I hope I can figure something out soon.

OK Aussie, it's time for me to sleep! :)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
nice to know :) kk2.7-stable is what we are using for m7 AOSP kernels too and I backport a few things from there for sense kernel. I have limited knowledge on ROM building though, as you may have found out :P

the reference kernel for google 3.4 is under

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/android-3.4

Hi,

sorry to resurrect this but I am a bit stuck...

My HTC One X has exactly the same empty cmdline in BoardConfig.mk but then look whats in the running system:

tegraid=30.1.3.0.0 mem=1016M@2048M vmalloc=668M video=tegrafb zygote_oneshot=off kmemleak=off androidboot.lb=1 androidboot.carrier=HTC-GER androidboot.wipeddata=0 led=4 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty console=none usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 lp0_vec=8192@0xbc0a8000 nvdumper_reserved=0xbf7ff000 tegra_fbmem=3689280@0xbc0ab000 panel_id=0x944a03 tegraboot=sdmmc gpt gpt_sector=122097663 androidboot.mode=normal batt_V=1048575 batt_I=1048575 batt_T=1048575 debug_uartport=hsport modem_id=0 androidboot.baseband=3.1204.168.32 androidboot.emmc=1 androidboot.sf=1 androidboot.skunum=1 androidboot.cid=HTC__102 androidboot.mid=PM3511000 androidboot.serialno=FA2CJW101865 androidboot.mb_serialno=41HD12CL08139 androidboot.bootloader=1.35.0000 last_off_event=pmu_poweroff start_on_event=none hw_rst_reason=0x0 sw_rst_reason=0xffffffff project_phase=A radioflag=0x0 ats=0 hlog.ofs=296 un.ofs=364 androidboot.engid=0x0

That´s hefty! And now comes the point: I need to add 2 more variables, specifically setting console=ttyS0 ... if I just add it to the BoardConfig my kernel will crash... Can I override the bootloader passing somehow WHILE still keeping the obviously important stuff in? I am lost with this much amount of variables really...

BR
[HTC Incredible S] rqmok:
Have you actually tried adding the console variable to BoardConfig. If not then try it first.

If that doesn't work, you can add the variables to the kernel defconfig. Go to your defconfig and add the variables to CONFIG_CMDLINE. You should also enable CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND.
[HTC Incredible S] Flohack:
HI,

if I add it to BoardConfig.mk then the kernel crashes immediately, I think the bootloader cmdline is then ignored or so.

I added it to the kernel CONFIG_CMDLINE, this is fine, but:

- The bootloader cmdline gets truncated, as I am over 1000 characters already

- I want to enable console: console=tty0,115200 - and the problem is that the bootloader also specifies console=none

biggest battery hog, which do you guys think kills battery more having the wifi on and connected or having the bluetooth on and connected? trying to figure out best way to save battery througout the night but with keeping watch on for time since i do not have an alarm clock next to bed and dont feel like rolling over to look at the phone all the time. but like to have watch bluetooth connected to phone with swapps link incase an important call comes in while im sleeping.

If i had a sim in the watch at one point but am now using the bluetooth rom if i turn off the sim card since its not detected anyway would that help with the battery life issue?

Would love to setup a tasker profile to auto shut off either bluetooth or wifi just not sure which is killing more battery.

There's ap App called Llama, not sure if it'll work on the Omate.

Try it out it does all sorts of tasker type stuff.
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
Llama works fine on the TS

I use it to deactivate wifi when leaving home and set wifi policy to turn off shortly after screen is off.

However, leaving wifi on is not draining much, I have borrowed one it is on for many days when not used. Not sure about BT.

(Using Loki's tweaks.)

What drains the battery is using any radio or the GPS and of course the screen, so deactivating sync is helping.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Will be sure to disable the gps hopefully that helps turned off SIM card slot also. What's the difference between this llama app and tasker? Is it smaller or something? I use tasker on my watch and it runs awesome.

I used towelroot and everything went fine
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
Thanks for the URL. After downloading and analyzing the tool, I noticed it uses TowelRoot as a part of its process.

EDIT: I used Easy Root Tool on three different clean installs of the 10.5.A.0.230 firmware and each time Easy Root Tool failed to complete its process. After a fourth clean install, I installed and used TowelRoot to gain root access and then installed SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, Terminal Emulator, and ES File Explorer. I searched for evidence of RIC implementation and found none. I ran Terminal Emulator and entered commands "su" and "mount -o rw,remount /system". The commands executed without problem and permissions for /system were set to read/write. It appears to me RIC is not implemented in 10.5.A.0.230 and the additional processes Easy Root Tool does that TowelRoot does not do are unnecessary. So, in my opinion, for the 10.5.A.0.230 firmware, TowelRoot is all you need to use to successfully gain root access.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] andymg350:
Yeah from what ive read all it adds is disabling the Sony RIC to let towelroot do its work
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
That is almost correct. Actually, Easy Root Tool downloads and uses the TowelRoot exploit to gain root access, verifies root access (which is required to kill RIC), and then it kills RIC.

And the comments do not exist anywhere, or I haven't been able to find them, which makes me wonder if the app is hidden for this people from Play Store. If you have a Tablet Z with KitKat, could you just take a look if it lets you install it? If you can "see" it from Play Store? The point is that Play Store hides the non compatible apps, so, I don't know.. Hehe

Thanks! :good:

Works perfectly. See the screenshot below. I think why most (if not all) people didn't talked about it finally working on the Tablet Z is it because, well, it's a tablet.
