I'm a newbie and i may say things that aren't true but i think that not only the driver but also the physical adress of the different device are hardcoded because a lot of application can't find those device (for example bar code scanner can't find the camer )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
I am going to collect what I can find and report it to FSF and the mailing list for each project.

I don't have much experience cross-compiling in general. I've been kind of cheating by using qemu with debian armel installed, and just compiling applications as I usually would inside the native ARM environment.

I am pretty sure you can use the compiler distributed with the android sdk to compile directly for arm. See groups. google. com/ group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/89d047262d6a885c?pli=1

Yes, they have modified/added source in the kernel itself, and also added many device drivers:

Hi all,

Maybe a good surprise here...

https://www.telechips.com/technical_support/kor/opensource/opensource_list.asp#none

I start downloading kernel source and eclair platform source :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
That's not the same chipset, so I don't think you will find the imap2xx drivers in there. Can you check and verify?

I too have been analyzing the kernel and modules, and indeed the only thing that is missing are the chipset drivers. Without it, we'd miss too much (e.g. not even able to use the screen).

And yeah, also found the eee168.com site because it mentions the URL in the java classpaths :)

For the person who asked about cross-compiling: I've cross-compiled the entire android-2.2 release (android-2.2.1_r2 IIRC) on my debian lenny box, using the android-ndk. Just read the install instructions there, and you should be good to go. There are other toolchains as well, but android-ndk is the easiest to get going.

Helopigs, I'll try again with your settings; my offset is different from the one in your screenshot for starters. But you can confirm that at least the screen should show that something's booting after you hit the button?

Next tablet I buy will have full source code disclosed, well at least the kernel. That will make porting easier, and it's The Right Thing to do. For those interested; the Herotab MID816 (and all its equivalent 8" Samsung S5VP210 tablets) has all of its drivers available as GPL'd source code! Already ordered mine, that'll be more fun to play with. Experimenting with android hacking on this thing for now, to pick up some porting skills.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flap:
I did and you're right, nothing interesting :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
The screen should go from the "Connecting to PC" to the screen usually shown directly after the "infotmc" screen... I think it is a small greyish sphere iirc.

Initially I didn't think this indicated success, as there was no output or any observable activity. So I sat down at my desk to do some more searching, and glanced over to notice that the screen had gone black. I assumed it had powered off, so pressed the power button to turn it back on and the screen turned back on immediately, showing the greyish sphere screen again. Then I realized it was the console screen blanking! :D

The offset should be 0x40007fc0.

Good luck :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stragulus:
That did the trick alright, thanks. Now I get a very helpful 'kernel panic!' in the center of the screen. Well, it's an improvement. I don't know too much about the different stages of booting up android yet, I'll have to read up more on that. In this case I'm pretty sure it can't mount the roofs or find an init there, as I haven't properly set that up.

Would any of you know if/how there is a standard way to have the kernel mount the filesystem images directly from a file on a partition on the sdcard? Like the haret bootloader does for android on the HD2. Though for now I intend to unpack the images into real filesystem partitions on the sdcard, as that will make testing easier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Igoritza:
can someone reply on this particular problem, please -

i have 3 tablets left, to sell. and one of them is acting REALLY weird:

when pressing any of the known combinations - it powers up with a vibration, not getting into any menu, powers up regularly and then - it doesnt show infotmic logo, it starts to display monochromatic colors over the full screen -

red

green

blue

gray

white with little rombs

and then it goes in circles.

i dont have USB-a USB-a cable with me, so i was wondering - would I be able to flash it, since it doesnt enter any menu, and only does this ?

im getting my cable tomorrow, but ease my mind, if anyone had similar problem .. ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
Just stumbled across your post as I read and reread this loooooooong thread...

You may also want to look at adding some of the build.prop changes lexusbrian recommends for the DroidX. I have windowsmgr_max_events set to 65 (our tablet may need lower) and wifi.supplicant.scan set to 180 (3 mins, to save battery) on my X. These are a few of the build.prop settings he has a mod for in ROM Manager. Think I am going to try at least these 2 after my tablet is recharged tomorrow.

PS for the masses: I am willing to test out these things my tablet and reload firmware if it goes wrong. Don't try the above unless you are willing to do the same ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
Spare Parts

For anyone with Spare Parts I recommend that you set the Window Animations to Off, Transition Animations to Off and Activity Manager to Aggressive (makes the internal android Task Killer more.... aggressive). Most people have already, but I also recommend unchecking Compatibility mode so older apps run full screen. None of these had any negative impact that I saw in the 6 months+ I had them set previously.

You could also set the wifi to Never turn off vice using the Android default. This may or may not help those of us that randomly have wifi reset while in use. Haven't tested this fully on the tablet yet.

Just a few performance increase tricks I picked up back when I was using my XV6900 Vogue, which also has low memory/cpu specs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tugdu77:
A few things about the 1480 update:

- The device starts faster, and seems to be a bit more faster with Wowhome than before.

BUT

- I cannot access to the market anymore. Everytime I have this message : "A server error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"

I tried to wipe data, cache, reset...Nothing works...Please help me!

- I cannot recover my apps from TITANIUM BACKUP. I don't know why, all my apps are grey and crossed-out. It sucks but the major issue is that I cannot access to the market anymore to download all my missing apps...

So if eveything works greats, keep your 1170, don't go to the 1480...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Antdroid33440:
From my study of the Flytouch 2/Wowpad it is advertised as carrying the Infotmic X220 processor. I have seen pics of the actual chip on this forum which shows a Infotmic X210. Which is it?

But with that, this tablet isn't using the x200 which it seems the drivers are for. Ya think we are using the x200 drivers and presently they are developing the x210/x220 drivers.

Maybe those drivers will be released with Honycomb.

superpad

hey guys I have superpad 10,2" inch from china. and I have green frozen background. tried everything with sd card but no help. it just can not flash. I am searching for the male to male Usb. if anyone has any advice it would be highly appreciated.

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
I think the design those processors is similar enough for them to all fall under "imapx200" arch.

E.g., the arch for my tablet is "imapx200" (according to dmesg), but the CPU package clearly says "IMAPx210."
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
Working on it. Nothing worth having comes easy...

RAM is the same at 256, so internal hd of 16G vs our 2G doesn't really matter. No gps isn't that important to me (but won't be difficult to add) and some people didn't get gps with theirs (or it doesn't work like mine that says I'm in china).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Krulez:
@ helopigs

The i200 doesn't have 3d the i210 doesn't have gps support so i think the driver have to be different

@Jiggity Janx

If the 16gb have the boot priority that could be a problem

but all just imho
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
You could be absolutely correct. I don't think I have found the final answer. I am just happy to have found a similar spec device that could possibly have us 90% of the way to where some of us want to be (2.2 and hopefully higher and code maybe) vice the 40% (2.1 and unresponsive vendors) we are now trying to climb away from.

I may have gotten 2.2 from the manufacturer.

I bought one of these units off ebay and other than the incredibly unresponsive screen and broken volume down key I am generally fairly happy with this unit. I did however get a green screen of death tonight. I contacted the ebay seller I purchased from and I received a download link to a new system image from the manufacturer and the document refers to Android 2.2 rather than 2.1 :eek:

I can provide the whole rar file if anyone is interested. Please keep in mind that this may be a typo though, I was told that this unit had a 3.1MP camera not a 1.3MP camera :mad: but that is another fight I am having :p.

Hello,

I'm newbie. I'm not sure with your answer "The offset should be 0x40007fc0". If you take a look on the uImage file with a Hexeditor you'll notice this information :

Load adresse : 0x40008000

Entry point adresse : 0x40008000

The offset you mention is for the zt-180 not flytouch2

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] helopigs:
I do not know :)

If you try 0x40008000 the machine will not boot, but it will with 0x40007fc0.

If you look at the u-boot.img provided for the zt180, you can see the string "bootm 0x40007fc0 ...", which is the same string as in the u-boot-nand.img provided by the pandawill administrator here: http://www.pandawillforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=2040&page=1&extra=#pid14230

So I think the memory addresses are the same for these tablets.

From #u-boot on freenode (thanks wdenk!), the 'bootm 40007fc0' normally will look into NOR flash at 40007fc0, find the uImage, extract the payload to the location specified by the "Load address", and then jump to execution at the "Entry point address".

So if we assume the uImage is being placed at the address given in burntool, the kernel will end up sitting happily at 0x40008000.

But if you look at the u-boot kernel image files for the zt180, the load address is given as 40007fc0, and the entry point is 40008000. This is different from both addresses being 40008000 as they are with the flytouch2 uImage.

I don't know what that means...

Please let me know if you have any kind of luck (ANY!) booting your own kernel. I have been trying different configurations of kernels for other tablets which provide the source, and have had no luck whatsoever. It would be great just to have serial output to know what might be going wrong, but that doesn't seem to be an option (even tried soldering the pins labelled RX/TX to a serial connector).
