How to compile a kernel

From androidhtc.com:

Create android-kernel directory in your home

mkdir ~/android-kernel
cd ~/android-kernel

Obtain the ARM toolchain:

wget http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package3696/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 -O arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

tar xjf arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q3/bin:$PATH

Obtain the kernel source from the git repository (this takes a while):

git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git

Switch to the htc-vogue branch:

cd kernel
git checkout -b htc-vogue origin/htc-vogue

In the future, to update your local copy after git commits, simply cd to the kernel directory and run “git pull”

Prepare .config file by choosing the output targets

make vogue_defconfig ARCH=arm; make menuconfig

Compile the kernel:

make zImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

@Bally3 all the commands line you posted will be great in wiki too cause more practise than using search in this thread :)

Or create a new thread names : "Building your own Android kernel" with a first post with all the link to all your posted commands
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Good idea.. go for it :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Thanks for all you do/done @Bally3

Hello, yesterday I had to install again my virtualbox kubuntu :(

So today I tried to follow your instruction, but I had a problem, the link above doesn't exist :(

Could it be this the new one??

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
are you typing this into a browser?#

You need to do all of it in the terminal.

Just copy and paste the lines into the terminal.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
i get:

initialized empty Git repository in /home/miguel/android-kernel/kernel/.git/

fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

4th attempt in case is server error
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
that sounds more like a loss of internet than an error. i would ask newbie16 in the irc room than on here.

A few hours ago I went to http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-vogue;pg=0 and get the error that the git was not found on the server. Now all seems ok, but I think it was a server error.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
Yes, I did all in to a terminal windows, I always obtain an:

And I have connection because I could use any browser without problems :/
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] life02:
Unfortunately, it appears I'm out of the game... My polaris fell out of my pocket when I was putting stuff in the attic :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
:eek:

There are no hopes?? :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] life02:
I would need a new digitizer (as the touchscreen isn't working right), a new screen (cracked... top half of screen is black and I've got some colored lines as well), and a new housing. It would be cheaper to just buy a new phone.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
crap :( :mad:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Sad news for polaris user :s
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
It is indeed.

Thank you for the help you've given us on this project life02, it was greatly appreciated.

I hope you'll stick around on the forums at least until you get your new device and pop on from time to time even after you've moved on.

Wish you all the best in the future. :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@life02 pharos user will be happy :p, hope you still can help us on IRC to progress our knowledge of android/kernel/haret
[Touch Cruise Android Development] just_crazzy:
hi

Please anyone send me the link were can i found the rom for android for cruise , because i don't know which of these is :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
sorry to hear this :-(

it's really bad news for you, all polaris users and specially all pola100 users (since you were only developer that has one).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] salvmason:
a new LCD costs about €15 on ebay, and a little patience!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
well if life02 is willing to try and have a go at fixing the screen we could see whats left over from dzo's purchase and help him purchase one. But the decision will be his, if he is close to his upgrade he may choose to just upgrade the phone.

The option is there anyway if he chooses to do so and I'll put it to him if I think we have the monies to help him. I'm loathe to ask the polaris users for any more money so we will see what we have after dzos's purchase which will be taken care of when he comes to the uk in the next few weeks.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] salvmason:
Ok, Keep us updated on the situation, I am with you.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vorticerosso:
I'm sad.

I hope You will repair it.

In any case, thanks a lot for your good job.

:-)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
I'm really dumb, i was so shocked that I totally forgot the most important thing:

Thanks for all your work until now you gave us hope and result :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
Sad news from you, life02.

Thanks for all your efforts.

PS. Have anyone tried basefiles (basefiles-20090908.zip)? Maybe "deja vue", but it looks that with this bundle your, bally3, cooked Casper system image, phone works much smoother.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
its quite possible.. theres tweaks being done to the base files all the time to increase performance.

WM not working after a Android session...

Hi all!

I tried the latest version from: http://www.androidonhtc.com/polaris/latest_builds yesterday but when i was done i reset:ed my device and i had to hardreset my device because alot of apps was complaining of missing certificates and nothing started unless i got into the program folder and started it.

What is wrong? Can't i use both, must i use one or another? :)

I think this project is interesting would like to give it a go, but i must be able to use my WM daytime when working :) I badly need the GPS for my work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
If you want to fix it and need money for it I'm ready to donate 15$.

Just PM me if I miss posts about it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Ok, I've been trying to get WiFi working, but I'm totally confused by all the versions laying around all over. Now that Spotify is available on Andoid I really need WiFi :)

I used to pick up new files from here:

http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

But now files are also here:

http://www.androidonhtc.com/polaris/latest_builds

http://www.4shared.com/dir/19593527/3cb53c3a/sharing.html

http://drop.io/polarkaiser

Why this sudden spread of files? I'd be really happy if someone could point me to which zImage, system.img, initrd, rootfs etc I need to get WiFi going on my POLA100. (Oh, I prefer ION or other non HERO build since the HERO builds are so slow, atleast that's my finding till now). I've tried reading though the last x pages, and I've tried various files, but still I only get an error when trying to enable WiFi.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] life02:
Links changed on AndroidOnHTC link to point to the code-google page. The drop.io/polarkaiser files are for testing (I think).

Not sure about the 4shared link.... (ahh Bally's test page)

I would stick with the code-google page.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
cyanogen_wifi.zip or msmissonsrogers wifi image.zip from http://www.4shared.com/dir/19593527/3cb53c3a/sharing.html.

seems to be that only these files (any maybe the other at the same link) are working with wifi and 3G.

a combunation with other images does not work for me.

aitsch
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Google code is the only place to pick up files. People who wanted to test the wifi were given links to do so.

4Shared is my link personal space for sharing files I'm working on. I'm going to go out on a limb here and re-iterate what I've said countless times before:

"This is a developers thread for testing purposes only"

There's an ad-hoc method of working that should be expected seeing that we currently have few developers taking an interest in our device at the moment and thanks to Newbie16 to large extent committing his time and patience with a handful of us noobs, did we get wifi working.

It was my gift to those who kindly donated for the devices as a way of saying thank you.. whats not to like?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] life02:
Ah, just going to the page it looked like someone was trying to get people to donate for a specific rom... without knowing any background on it, I wasn't sure.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
The good news is that I've procured a Polaris in good condition locally so avoiding the risk of receiving a bricked or scratched one from ebay which is within the price range we were looking for. I've tested and checked it and it works fine and has very little use (hasnt even been sim unlocked or hard spl'd! - I'll sort that out tonight :P )

I will contact dzo to send me the funds today to pay for it as I am unable to pay up front for it myself (family man, mortgage etc) and the seller wants to sell it as soon as to facilitate his purchase of another phone.

dzo will be arriving in the uk in the next few weeks so I can arrange to have it delivered to wherever he's staying and hopefully that will remain within budget.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Nice news @bally3 hope dzo will be in UK soon we really need is help for the lastest development (bluetooth+camera)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] whitealien:
what about battery life?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Battery life too, but there already have lot of progress since beginingwith battery life.

@whitealien please don't creat new thread about htc tattoo ,this not Polaris specific we know this device coming soon and already thread in general speaking about it. thanks.

BTW @all : this is KERNEL thread
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
Good news, thanks for all your hard work on this project. I'm looking forward to being able to help out a bit more with polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zy2zyy:

WOW!! i am so exciting and i am testing it!!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Leryan:
Well, it's a development thread. Our DEV's made that changes :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
so, if I want to try this with clean installation. what files do I have to copy to sd card?

Opps sorry ok but its my firs shoot to Linux i am not undrstnd firstly what i need mean packages .People dont knw anything about Linux and Android Like me but i really interesting with it really.We need a help and masters u are really passioned persons i know Really Thnx about every help and every sweat drops and God Bless all of you :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
My work use a PEAP certificate on their network where you use your network login and password to gain access to wifi. This works fine on WinMo, but on Android it appears WPA2 and asks for a password only - which fails of course.

I asked our techies at work and they suggested that it appeared that Android doesnt support PEAP certificates?

Any ideas anyone?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
I just noticed that MAC address under WinMo and Android is different but similar.

it seems like android doesn't have letters (A-F) in hex but some numbers instead.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
I'll check that.. that actually might explain a few things with my connection issues.. you have to register the mac address of the device you want to use at our place...

Thanks :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
that's how I figured it out :-)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] reiteravi:
check this mac

00:18:41:09:08:04

the first 3 octs are htc id

the rest is your polaris spcific

wonder if u all get the same mac

if so u can find out where it came from

(i.e. if its the same with all then its one of the dev team who made this change

and if its his mac he might track the error quicker)

if i cancel mac filtering it connects smoothly
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
Yes, I have that one
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
are you using a posted calibration file or your own??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
I think android supports peap it's in eap_peap.c i think you may have to add it manually to wpa_supplicant.conf http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Newbie16:
The mac address is in the calibration file, this mac address is from the test calibration file, just delete it and the script in the rootfs.img will create a new one with the mac address that belongs to your device.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
how do I delete it?

what program do I use to open calibration file?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
I think it's a text file. You should be able to read it using WordPad (Windows). Try it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
tried with notepad and 7-zip.

first one shows some strange squares and other simbols.

and the other one can't open it.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Ooops, I'm sorry :( It's binary data then. I cannot help you.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Donut 1.6 SDK avalaible cool new market soon and new rom :)

BTW Where are we with bluetooth and Camera? some progress?

@kulen just delete the files on the root of your sd
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
Thank you.

It seems it works better now.

with that test MAC it didn't work as it should. it was slow and market sometimes worked and sometimes not. It might be a coincidence but I believe it has something to do with this.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Some good news, I've emailed vilord and he has replied back that he is well and has moved now and hopes to return to the forums in a weeks time.

Sounds like he's been keeping himself really busy, hopefully with vilord back and dzo in possession of a Polaris soon, Polaris development can kick up a notch and we can once again start looking forward to a seeing a finished kernel soon.

:)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Michel82:
Good news. Kernel development could really use an impulse.

Btw. Donut (1.6) is released http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html

Already a rom release over here: http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/list???!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
any news from life02?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
nope. hasnt replied yet sorry.

Quick update: craig0r, newbie16 and our very own dj_steve will be looking at getting bluetooth working over the next week or so.

I've sent dzo the Paypal address and he has sent me the delivery address, so that will get sorted this week hopefully. dzo leaves for the uk next Thursday so I'll try and get it to him for then.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Anyone feel like following or contributing to whats going on in the Polaris dev room from their mobile, there is a nice freeware app I've been using called zsIRC which is a freeware irc client and I've attached it below.

If nothing else, please help us keep the room open :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
A bit of a lull in development whilst we wait for dzo to recieve the Polaris and for vilord to make his return. I'm in and out this week as work gets busy with schools being back and everything.

Anyone able to help at all with shedding some light on Bluetooth should pop into the irc room if they can and give the devs some much appreciated help.

At the moment most of whats required to finish the kernel requires some heavy development experience for which dzo's involvement will be invaluable.

Until then, theres always the new builds to enjoy :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
I have asked flar the administrator if the mods will consider giving us a seperate subforum for Android development as we seem to have started quite a few threads recently, some much needed and some pointless postings. This is being considered and until it is resolved I am making an appeal to all users NOT to start any more android related threads.

I will speak to imfloflo about better organisation of the threads for the different builds and for kernel support.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
Hi Bally3, I think that most of us are waiting full of hope for the incoming steps in developping :rolleyes:

In the meanwhile there were numerous new release, did you try someone?

Because I could start only standard and roger one, but hero based stuck with a endless htc logo with the 2 animation/sounds but what surprised me much is that I create the apn and the 3g icon (top bar) is present but no connection :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
I spoke/wrote too fast, with latest basefile 20090919+rogers' system (not rootfs) I've got all working: call, sms, lan and wifi (tested wpa, switch on and off)

I'm not sure that's important, but neocore score is 22.5fps
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mikfaina:
But in the new releases GPS doesn't work for me
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
Yestarday it was too late, I'll try it today ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
I tied with Google Maps and GPS Status, it works to me.

Did you enalbe it in settings->position ??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] mikfaina:
I downloaded last ION build but when I run Haret (with default.txt) doesn't work, Hange on a black screen, with Bally3 files on his shared folder it works. Why? Is changed something? I see user.ion.conf what's that?

dzo: please let me know when you get the polaris, the money has now been recieved.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dzo:
I got the polaris yesterday, It's in great condition. I won't be able to do much with it until I get back from my trip in about a week and a half, in the meantime perhaps a list of things to get working would be good. How about this for a start:

Audio in: google voice search and shazam are cool.

Camera: may take a bit of work but also quite useful.

Bluetooth: I never use it, but some people need this. getting a2dp working will be tricky because it needs work on the hsuart.

Anything else?

Thanks again for the phone, especially to Bally3 for organising everything.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] aitsch:
is there a possibility to change the key map this way that the "real" power button on top of the case switches the phone on or off and the red telephone button only stops a phone call (maybe more)?

the situation now is, in my pocket the polaris always switches on because the red phone button is not protected / not sunk in the case!

cheers - aitsch

p.s.: for me the camera is the most important thing!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vorticerosso:
Hi,

The polaris has an FM tuner.

I know it is less important than Bluetooth and Camera but should be nice to have working too.

Thanks at all

Claudio
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@dzo : Welcome new polaris user ;)

I hope we can all work together to have a fully working android Polaris device :)

Has @vorticerosso sais FM player would be a good point we must wait HTC Tatoo dump cause it's QVG and have FM integrated too.

Thanks to all devs, and @bally3 too who made a great work.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] kulen:
I think that three most important things that need's to be done are:

power management (battery life is too short)

bluetooth

camera

But power management is the most important.

P.S. any news from Life02?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
dzo: you're right welcome as they say in Blackburn and glad you're happy with the Polaris :)

looking forward to seeing the developments in the very new feature now that we have your skill on board.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] yippieh:
First of all: You are doing a great job!

Kept an eye on your work for long time and today gave it once again a try . Downloaded the files from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list?can=2&q=&sort=-uploaded&colspec=Type+Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount. I can make calls and write sms. However neither data connection nor Wireless Lan is working. Is there any trick (tried starting haret with established data connection in windows, turned modem on which says "Done"). Also tried zImage from http://vogue-android.googlecode.com/files/basefiles-20090919-v2.zip

Regards,

[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
thanks alsot dzo and welcome

id like to ask same for same thing as aitsch to change keys first, its really annoying to have phone waking up by random pressing of buttons

and camera is also important for me also

battery life would be best to tweak when everything else is done?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] vorticerosso:
yippieh,

I've used the following files http://rapidshare.com/files/280093611/Google-polaris-Ion-2009-09-12.rar find in the thread "All you wanted to know about Android on Polaris and never dared to ask" and wifi for me is working.

Vortice
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Apparently @cr2 & @MrPippy & @phh on IRC (#htc-linux) have succed to make bluetooth and Wifi working on HTC Diamond by extracting NAND under WM. They now have working bluetooth and wifi under linux not under android yet but very promising.

We should ask them if they can explain us the process to make that on our device too.
