Nice.

I like my BA and I don't wont to change it until an open linux mobile is avaible (an open Iphone could be great).

Maybe a sub-forum called "Blue angel linux" could help.

I'm bored or a problem with the actual BA linux is the acces to the wifi chipset?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] aperles:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DJ_Steve:
well im not having a lot of look, it seems to be segfaulting pretty much constantly. think its down to the busybox shell though so im going to find a newer one and try that later, does anyone know what version of the arm feature set the BA uses. (because from reading http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/21/android-neo1973) android only seems to work on devices using ARMv5 featureset. whatever that means)

UPDATE: thats not a problem, the pxa263 in the BA is ARMv5TE so thats ok - gotta love wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale)

Further update: ok been reading up a bit more and im doing the risky thing of building my own kernel for android see if i can get round these damn segfaults
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DJ_Steve:
ok just thought id post up so people done think ive given up here . still havign issues compiling the linux kernel with the android addidtions. mainly because i ahvent got a proper linux machine at home (only virtual pc on this computer)...dont suppose anyone uses linux and has a decent knownledge of compiling kernels on here ??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
I've compiled kernels under Linux before, but not for an embedded system like the angel's.

Where did you get the tarballs for everything? And what distro of Linux did you install?

Really, real machine vs virtual machine, in this case, shouldn't matter. It might, but shouldn't.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DJ_Steve:
not so much the fact im using a virtual machine, its the fact im only on a 2mb connection so downloading linux cd images takes ages and since debian is the only distro ive seen which has arm crosscompile tools that work that means 2 dvds or 9+cd images. most of the tarballs ive had to rip direct from the android sdk emulator. i could host them somewhere if someone wants to try and help me out getting a kernel running - after that i think most of android should fall into place on its own, but getting openbinder support in the kernels proving difficult

EDIT/UPDATE: ok just tried installing the arm crosscompiliers on my development dedicated server and it seems to be compiling a kernel as i type (hopefully) so looks to be some progress happening here :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dirac:
Been following your thread with interest.

I should be getting a new PDA from work, so then I could take the risk of bricking my trusty and battered Blue Angel.

Any chance you could post some links to the various bits you are using? Not a step by step (unless you have the time) but the starting points so others can attempt to duplicate your efforts in parallel?

Good luck - I'm rooting for you!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DJ_Steve:
ok, im just tarballing up the files on my webserver now, didnt have any success with kernel, looks like im going to have to take the blueangel drivers etc from the kernel posted on handhelds.org and manually merge the config files into the android kernel image to get it to compile. unless anyone can suggest a way to do that easily (windows or linux routine i dont mind)

the main sites ive used to help out ive listed below

http://benno.id.au/blog/ << somewhere on their theirs a link to the android root filesystem image. (http://benno.id.au/android/system.tar.gz and http://benno.id.au/android/data.tar.gz)

http://nemustech.blogspot.com/2007/12/android-porting-to-real-target-hw.html

http://euedge.com/blog/2007/12/06/google-android-runs-on-sharp-zaurus-sl-c760/

http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelKernel

the three above above links help even though their not scriptly related to android on blueangel

the rest of the files are in http://radiodmp.net/android-files/ - the 365mb file contains the 2 arm cross compilers and also both the newest blueangel linux kernel and the android kernel - as said above these need merging (android kernel needs to be the one that is the final kernel as its newer i believe

edit: ive just put the system and data tars linked above into the folder on my server also to save people time.

hope that helps

if anyone wants any help drop me a message and ill try and help out. will of course keep trying to sort it myself too

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Longhorn_Matt:
Android git repository

http://git.android.com/

Seems like all you should have to do is reconfig the kernel to build for the Intel PXA CPU instead of the Qualcomm MSM7K used in this repository, and make sure you select the appropriate hardware drivers when you config the kernel as well. I have some experience porting Linux to custom embedded PowerPC platforms at my job, and as long as processor and driver support for all the hardware exists in the kernel, porting it isn't too bad. There's usually some platform-specific files that take care of initializing the hardware for the kernel. For my last project, these were located in arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/, but I've never done an ARM port. I haven't looked too much at the ARM code, but I suspect the code in question lives at arch/arm/mach-pxa/.

FYI, you don't need a linux box to build the kernel. You can use any machine that has GCC and the ARM cross-compiler installed. That means a Windows box with Cygwin installed, or a Mac with MacPorts installed.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DJ_Steve:
im aware i dont REQUIRE a linux box. but since im also hosting the files etc required for my attempts on a web accessable site (see couple of posts above this) im compiling kernel etc on their to save me uplaoding 60+mb of files
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Longhorn_Matt:
RE: android git repository

Steve,

I did read the entire thread, and I must have missed something because I still don't see the need to run Linux under VirtualPC. From one of your previous posts:

"still havign issues compiling the linux kernel with the android addidtions. mainly because i ahvent got a proper linux machine at home (only virtual pc on this computer)..."

You can run an Apache web server natively under Windows and Mac OS X (included with Cygwin and MacPorts), which would probably run alot faster instead of trying to run a web server on emulated hardware as VirtualPC does.

Getting Android going on the Blue Angel is going to be alot more complicated than just moving some files around and trying to compile a stock kernel. You need an intimate knowledge of the target hardware (it's highly custom - not like a PC motherboard), and a working knowledge of C, how the Linux kernel works, and how to configure your cross-tools correctly. Porting a Linux kernel to custom PowerPC hardware took me a couple of months of full-time work (would have been faster except the hardware was unstable - CPU core voltage was way too low). I applaud your efforts and will be checking in from time to time to see your progress. Let me know if you decide to host a git repo for the Blue Angel kernel and I'll clone it and take a stab at it from time to time. In the meantime, you can get alot of help from the folks at the embedded Linux developers mailing list, and www.denx.de has some good info about porting bootloaders and Linux kernels to embedded hardware. Good luck to you!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] themoose:
Any success?

Just curios to see if you were able to get it to compile! :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bkortleven:
I'm watching too...

I have a BA lying around, ready for testing!

So, if anyone wants to test a kernel or whatever, and doesn't want to sacrifice their devices, let me know! I'll sacrifice mine.

If anyone tells me about how and what should be in a configure for kernel recompile, I will try to go at it myself...

Thanks and keep up the good work ;)

One day we'll manage to get it running ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevens_k:
Hey everyone. I am having a issue with my phone when trying to take a screenshot. It will not allow me to take a screenshot, saying "Prevented by security policy." I discovered this when trying to take a screencap inside the Playstation app, but the Playstation Store part of it. As I understand it, this is a restriction by the individual app. How can I bypass this? I already tried some overlay apps like "Touchshot," which the result is either when I open the PS Store, it force quits Touchshot, or it will take a picture but everything is black.

I am not rooted, and would hope to find a solution without rooting. I also saw solutions that involve hooking up the phone to a PC, which I also would like to try to avoid as well. Is this restriction exclusive to the S7/Samsung phones, or it this a universal Android problem? If not, which phones do not have this problem?

If I have to root the phone to do it, is there currently an S7 Edge root that does not trip Knox? Anything else I should know?

Thanks for any help you can give!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dynospectrum:
No workaround for this, rooted or otherwise, that I'm aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevens_k:
Well there is a way to do it if you are rooted. But since I am not, I was trying to deal with it that way...

Is there even a root for the S7 without tripping Knox yet? If there was, I might root it.

Anyway, thanks for the reply!
[ONE General] mr_rodge:
Hi all,

New here; long time silent follower/downloader but never posted.

I had a couple of handsets spare in the house and lately have been a bit sick of iOS so decided to dust off the old OPO and G3, and to flash a custom Nougat ROM. I thought I'd end up using the OPO as it's higher spec than the G3.

I've installed AOSP-CAF 7.1 on both phones, with stock Open-GApps.

The interesting thing is that despite the OPO having 50% more RAM and the exact same CPU, the D855 feels much snappier and gives a better user experience. Any ideas on why? Is it the kernel? Bummer at the minute as I'll be forced to use the G3, even though it only has 16GB and 2GB, also with the lower res front camera. With the display being higher res as well, I'd have expected the OPO to trounce the G3! Any ideas?

Thanks!
[ONE General] Gawd:
Change ROM ?
[ONE General] natheux:
Or change the kernel :highfive:

Seriously, I think that is due to the kernel settings. Sometimes (i remember on Omnirom)，some roms need other kernel settings to feel better and smoother
[ONE General] mr_rodge:
Why? I was wanting something stable & fast; I gather Lineage has bluetooth & Android Auto issues which are both deal breakers for me.

Hmmm, thought it may have been the kernel. Looks like it's some trial and error then!

Thanks.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Lol even stock Cos13.1 of OPO will perform better than Lg G3 for sure.
[ONE General] mr_rodge:
That's what I thought too, but when I got the ROM running on the G3 it was definitely smoother. Any suggestions for ROMs/Kernels?

Definitely want Nougat and definitely minimalist/stock Gapps. Don't like the funky custom looks on a lot of builds.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/nightlies-idprophecys-unofficial-t3544385

This is a stable rom based on latest lineage os with builds updated regularly and optimized kernel for as smooth as it gets performance.
[ONE General] mr_rodge:
Bluetooth work? Understand there's problems with official Lineage.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
No,Bluetooth works perfectly fine.Moreover if you encounter any other issues,the developer of this rom is kind enough to fix it for you.

Had a look through the thread for it, looks promising. All this though, and I dropped the OPO last night. The repair shop has it now, and they've never heard of one. Won't read the sim. Eeek.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secondpwn:
I'm on Android 7.1.1 resurrection remix, and I often get the message that my storage space is insufficient. I checked the storage info and it says that for example my Spotify is using 2gb, while the Spotify app says it's saving onto the SD card.

I installed link2sd and checked the storage info, and it shows my internal data, SD card and external SD card. I think the problem here is that the SD card is the same as my internal data, and apps are saving to this partition (see screenshot).

Is there any way I can fix this? For example by removing the "wrong" SD card partition? Right now this is causing a lot of issues, since I only have ~14gb to use instead of the ~46gb I'd normally be able to use.

Thanks in advance! :)

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjlane86:
Quick question as I have been skimming the forums for the last 2 hours...

I want to get a Pixel XL from Google, and use it on VZW new unlimited data plan and will be tethering, a lot...

The threads I am reading indicate that the Google bought Pixel XL will not natively tether without silly workarounds...? Am I interpreting this correctly?

All I had to do on my old Nexus 6 was edit the build.prop and call it a day... What I am going for here is a permanent wireless hotspot at my home that has no access to high speed internet services other than Hughes Net Satellite. I have a working 70db amp with 700-900mhz yagi directional and an indoor antenna. Have gotten speeds over 40mbits

I currently do this with my nexus 6p at my hunting camp in the middle of nowhere on my grandfathered unlimited data plan...

Thanks in advance fellas!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 335Deezl:
10gb of tethering is included with my new Verizon unlimited plan. After that, it charges. I don't think that editing the build prop would get you around this, but I may be wrong.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aramisathei:
Verizon unlimited tethering works fine with my Google (non-Verizon) Pixel XL.

I am using PureNexus if that makes a difference.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jjlane86:
The NEW unlimited? Does it allow you to exceed the 10gb tethering limit imposed?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 335Deezl:
Now, that, I do not know...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aramisathei:
It should work with whatever plans they have, but mine is the new unlimited.

There isn't a tethering limit, it just throttles after 10gb.

There aren't any additional fees.

With the new Verizon Plan Unlimited, you get a 10 GB allowance of high-speed 4G LTE data for Mobile Hotspot each billing cycle. Once you've used the 10 GB of 4G LTE data, your Mobile Hotspot data speed will be reduced to 3G speeds for the rest of the billing cycle. Data will continue to be unlimited while your Mobile Hotspot is reduced to 3G speeds.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sb1893:
This solution works great for me on my grandfathered UDP on Verizon. It basically bypasses the provisioning check when you activate the native tether function like you normally would. It also survives most updates and other modifications. (A full unroot will undo it and force you to repeat the steps to implement.) I assume that this would also work on your new unlimited plan as it activates the tether without going through the normal provisioning check. But, you would need to test for yourself on your plan. Good luck!
