[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
Ouch, sucks to hear that you might have bricked the tablet :( So, not even the burntool-usb method works anymore huh? I was hoping that was not using u-boot..

I don't know if the image files here will help much in porting. I'm not a hardware buff, so I rely on source being available for the hardware devices. Luckily, it seems that the kernel + modules that ship with the firmwares (at least 1170) are usable, but there might be some trickery in the hardware abstraction layer (HAL, libhardware*so) that makes the devices behave differently. E.g. the touchscreen alignment, wifi initialisation (although I think I got that covered), g-sensor rotation by 90 degrees. If only we had their source code!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I haven't tried anything with this yet but... What if we take the files from a newer rom? Might that help with the wifi or will it just make things worse/much worse?

Just my 2 cents what do you all think?

P.S. Can you please tell us and post how you built this froyo build? I think that that will be a bigger help than the pre-compiled builds. From the work that I have done with my phone I know that it is a lot easier to rebuild an image than to fix a current one. At least for me. Just edit the build scripts to your liking and let it compile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
Yeah I do have a text-file where I wrote down everything I did to get this far. It's a bit messy so I didn't include that yet, but I'll make an effort to clean it up a little and link to that tonight. I definitely agree you should always have a method to start over from scratch.

I don't know if files from a newer rom will help, but if they contain the same system.img and ramdisk.img files as the 1170 firmware it will be a breeze to incorporate. I started this build before all the newer ones came out.

As to the wifi problem: I'm not sure what's up with that. I spent a considerable amount of time getting it to work by editing the wifi.c file that's part of the build of libhardware_legacy.so. This contains the code that will insmod/rmmod the module, and specifies the name of the wlan device. After editing that, bringing it up worked. I included the wifi firmware files from the official rom. Didn't try if it would make a difference without them, but since it's coming up and can see wifi networks, I think it does.

The next step was fixing the dhcpcd handling. That too took some time, but I fixed that as well. Just borrowed some inspiration from my orange san fransisco phone, which also has a 2.2 rom.

Perhaps the problem is related to booting the device over NFS with the root still over NFS. I tried booting with root on the sd-card, but for some reason the wifi didn't come up at all. I made sure to extract the fs with all permissions left untouched, and verified this was the case. So, my plan is to debug that some more. Which is really inconvenient when booting from sd-card, as there's no way (yet) to access the device remotely. No slave USB, and I didn't make the ethernet connection work. Would be nice if we'd be able to start a root shell from the device itself. The terminal in dev tools is not allowed to su. Maybe dropping a suid shell on the fs?

Oh yeah, another useful thing might be to look at the zt-180 2.2 beta firmware. There are quite some overlaps between that device and ours, so we could learn something from it. Or perhaps some of the files from their firmware, rather than those of the flytouch2 2.1 firmware.

After some grepping it turns out that aiding.bin is used by libigps.so, so not useful for wifi.

New ROMS

Who's creating all of these new ROMS
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigguy:
Are They Creating them or are they just Updates From The office Site ?

And we have to ask why are people worried about these Roms This Whole site is Dedicated to Different Roms and Problems.

If you are Unsure Then Do not Use the Rom.

I only have been caught out once and bricked a phone out of the loads i have done.

And that was not the ROM fault it was me who did not read the Thread Properly :(

So All i can say is Keep up the Good work and hopefully we will have custom Roms.

IX210 and Samsung S3C64xx

If the IX210 and Samsung S3C64XX have the same specs and the Samsung is used in 3G phones then could our hardware info just be inserted in an existing 2.2 build of theirs (if they have one)?

Looks very interesting! I'll check it out, thanks for the link.

On a related note: Does anyone know if we can boot the zt-180 kernels on our devices? I gave it a quick shot yesterday, but didn't succeed. I verified that it has the 64-byte uboot-header like our tablet requires. Tablet appears to ignore the kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
I don't see the similarity between the Samsung and the InfoTM CPU; looks more like someone got confused because of a bogus usb device id.

As promised before, here is how I created the stock android build used in the manual posted earlier.

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b 'android-2.2_r1.3'
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
choosecombo # I chose: Device, release, generic, eng(ineering).
# apply patches now, see below. After that, build:
make -j4

From that build, the generated filesystems are taken.

So far, there's only 2 patches, both used to get wifi working. These are:

wifi.patch

Apply: cd ~/src/mydroid/hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi && patch -p0 < /path/to/wifi.patch

And wpa_supplicant.patch

Apply: cd ~/src/mydroid/external/wpa_supplicant && patch -p0 < /path/to/wpa_supplicant.patch

The rest of the patches (patched init.rc etc), see manual above. I suppose it's a good idea to incorporate all these things into a proper android build so that all the patching isn't necessary, but for now it will do.

Froyo update:

I got wifi *mostly* going, though it still needs a little manual trickery, but at least it can all be done from the tablet itself.

I've also integrated touchscreen calibration using tslib. This too works, just requires a reboot after initially calibrating the tablet.

Lastly, I've consolidated most of the rom building into proper build files, and created git repositories for all android build components that need change.

The build is still not usable for end-users, but it's getting closer to the point where custom rom builders without actual porting skills will be able to modify the rom.

The git repos are all here: https://github.com/stragulus

Some things that would help making the build easier:

* How to make it easy to fetch the entire build in 1 go, rather than checking out AOSP and merging in several sub-repos manually?

* How do you create symlinks in the build makescripts? That's one of the manual steps that still need to be done.

@stragulus: nice progress!

I've been hanging in the ICAN! forums lately and trying to bug everyone about the source code.

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

I said:

Simon, since you're answering all questions.

When are you planning to release the source code for the tablet?

You are obliged by GPL Licence in doing so.

And simon said:

As I said above, It's been mainly in the hands of China and we are working to get more control over the software. My team is focussed on getting all the issues resolved and the platform and support stabilized before anything else.

We fully understand the GPL requirements and will meet them as soon as we can.

I didn't achieve much. They've let users on accident download the 2.2 beta (frying their tablets), so there's something going on for sure :)

No, I have only used burntool to boot my tablet to test the froyo builds so far. For the build itself, I use the kernel + modules from the 1170 firmware. Also, the OpenGL libs and any of the required libs for anything in lib/hw.

Sadly no one has source for the cpu + framebuffer yet :(

Let's try to ask for the sourcecode...

Looking at Beijing Letou Tech's website (as I understand the "makers" of the firmware of this tablet) I see that the aknowledge Android beeing open source and cite this as an advantage. They are also looking for foreign partners (that could potentially "enforce" the GPL licence)

See:

ww w . eee168 dot com /en/about /eaboutus/

(unfortunatelly I cannot jet post links)

So I decided to send the following email to them. Although I don't have very high hopes, at least I tried. :-)

My 2cents.

Thank you for your work to everyone...

Dear sirs,

I bought one Superpad Tablet, that comes with your Wowpad Android modified software.

I hereby kindly ask you for the source code of you modifications to the android system, specially to the kernel and hardware drivers so that I can build a custom firmware. They are covered by the GPL licence as you know, and you yourself state in your company profile that "Android is an open-source product and platform" so you surely understand the advantages to have the source code shared, and you surely want to comply with its licence.

Quote from your english webpage:

"Mobile OS is the core of the mobile Internet. Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android are the top 2 of the shining breed. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Nokia’s Symbian are all already proved failing. iOS is a closed system, which nobody else can play with except Apple itself. On the other hand, Google’s Android by nature is open-source and open platform, on which any company could develop its own products."

Waiting for a download link or some other way to obtain the fully modified source-code, I thank you in advance,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
Chinese GPL noncompliance

It is difficult to tell exactly who is responsible for the code on the flytouch 2, but I think it may actually be Infotmic (www.infotmic.com), despite BLT (heh) claiming "WowPad is the brand name of Android based PAD software developed by Beijing Letou Tech. Co., Ltd. "

The English version of their page seems to be broken, but the google translation of the chinese page (via chrome) is surprisingly readable.

The problem with obtaining the source code via GPL request is that the GPL requires those who distribute 'GPL' binaries to distribute the source code to those whom they distributed binaries.

In other words, if A gives a binary to B, and the binary came from GPL code, then A must give B the source code if asked. If C obtains binaries from B, and asks A for the code, there is no obligation under the GPL to comply, because C did not receive the binaries from A. C must ask B for the binaries, and if B does not provide it for any reason, then they are in violation of copyright law in distributing the binaries to C.

If Infotmic gives flytouch 2 devices to pandawill, under the GPL Infotmic only has an obligation to pandawill to provide source code. You only have a right under the GPL to request the source code from pandawill if that is where you got your flytouch 2.

So pandawill (and every other vendor) is in violation of international copyright law in distributing these tablets. They don't have to worry too much though, because the only people that can actually do anything about it are the copyright holders (the Linux kernel and u-boot developers). So unless you can motivate a Linux kernel or u-boot developer that has legal rights in China (i.e.- is a Chinese citizen) to fight and win copyright infringement suits against the distributors of these tablets, you can do nothing.

Ideally, during the copyright infringement suits the distributors would complain to Infotmic enough that the source code would be handed down the chain of distribution, and the issue would be resolved at GREAT cost to the kernel developers bringing the suits.

In other words, we will not get the code for this tablet.

If you want something you can use for serious development and modification, look elsewhere.

I'd strongly urge the original poster of this thread to update it with a big fat warning that these tablets are being distributed in violation of copyright law, and that reselling them is illegal without source code (which is unavailable).

We really just need the distributors to be motivated enough to bug Infotmic for the source code.

This situation makes me so angry........

List of Infotmic tablets

Below is a list of all tablets that have a Infotmic chip.

Vendor/Model	Source Chipset

CEM111	No (Infotm X220)

Eken M035	No (Infotmic X220)

Gome Flytouch 2	No (Infotmic X220)

ICan! 10	No (Infotm IMAPx200)

Sylvania tablet	No (Infotm IMAPx200)

Wowpad	No (Infotm X220)

Zenithink ZT-180	No (Infotm X220)

I still think the Flytouch has the X210 chip.

Never the less, guess everyone can see the pattern in the source code column. Now the Sylvania tablet is interesting because it is sold at KMart and ToysRUs. I would think the Sylvania tab owners are interested also in moving to 2.2, 2.3, and eventually to 3.0.
