Judging by the dir you're looking at, that seems to be documentation for x86 arch. We're on arm-msm. But it's an interesting question.

I am sure this is a noob question but I am wondering if there will be any more options to being able to tether my 7 in pandigital novel (rooted) to the rooted ascend when it has a custom rom? Or is that not even in the realm of even having anything to do with my inability to figure out how to tether the two androids? :confused:

Another update...

So, getting the froyo kernel to work on our phone will not be an easy task. It's EASIER now that we have the kernel, but it's going to take me more than couple hours to really hack at it.

In related news, I'm currently compiling a custom kernel (2.6.29-perf) that has swap, ext3 FS support, and overclocking ability. I'm building the kernel with the ability to be OC to 654 mhz. If it's stable I may bump up to 700 mhz. I'm going to try and build AOSP froyo with the a custom .29 kernel. Our brothers and sisters over in the Pulse-dev world are using a .29 kernel. Hopefully, we can achieve the same results.

(v) No update available
--------------
Your device is up to date

now huawei,

Even with your horrible procrastination is releasing the kernal source...

You are going to let Devs win at releasing a froyo rom first?

should have just released it(the source) when we asked the first time, and that blown out monitor with "release source" burnt into your screens wouldn't have been a problem.... now would it...

You don't mess with the Ascend mafia.

:) haven't posted in a while, good to see some jumps forward

I've sent them quite a few emails with nothing in return...

even when they set up an "automated" reply system...

While you guys are in there hacking, wouldn't it be a good idea to drop the useless (my opinion) / data/HwUserData memory mounted on /dev/block/mtdblock7 and allocate it to system to allow for the larger rom images to come? Maybe we should start a Huawei Ascend Kernel Ideas/Info thread also.

Froyo kernel is baking as we speak. I'm running into a lot of problems porting the innloux 9481d/tianma 9481ds drivers over. Needlessly to say, Huawei has done some interesting things to the Android kernel.

I'm getting to the end of the building process before it's crapping out on me. I have things to do today, so it won't be til later when I can figure this out.

UPDATE: Alright, finally got the damn thing to build...with the innolux/tianma ili9481d(s) LCD drivers...Hopefully, it'll boot and work...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] buby78:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PariahLantern:
This might be a dumb question.

Is it at all possible with the current kernel we have to go beyond 2.1 to like 2.3 if we compile it ourselves?

What about compiling our own stuff on our own, is there a tutorial someone has somewhere?

I'm not a novice at linux stuff and i know how to program in java a bit. I just want to do alot of this myself because it seems more manly lol.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ixbrettxi:
I permanently rooted my wife's phone with z4root, then unrooted it and returned it because it had a bad speaker, if they look at anything at all it's to see if you have broken any seals (hard mods) or they look at your kernel version (firmware mods) rooting doesn't affect either. That's how it is for MetroPCS anyway.

Theoretically, couldn't we change boot animations by just swapping out whatever is in that zip for something else? Unless its doing something like watching for file size for that zip, this could be a nice little hack to work on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
You can find different boot animations in the themes section of the Android XDA forum, i'll attach the one I use, it's from the special Star Wars edition Motorola Droid, also the power off screen I use, it's really cool!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I didn't upload it, because I tested it and it didn't work. Looks like I'm missing something. The stock recovery.img is 5mb, where as mine is a little over 3mb. When I flashed my recovery.img it stoped at the white Huawei screen. When I then reflash the stock recovery.img it was working again.

Looks like I have some more work ahead of me.

I'll keep you posted

Linuxgeek099
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
If you flash your 3mb recovery and then copy it back out, it'll be 5mb, the boot and recovery will always be 5mb when you copy them out no matter what, usually its just junk data at the end to make it 5mb, like all "FFFFFFFFFF"s or all "0000000000"s.

I think the only way to properly do this for our phone will be to use a hex editor to split the bootheader, kernel and ramdisk, make the changes and then piece them all back together, it seems Huawei did things in a non standard way, so none of the automated scripts seem to work for the Ascend, which really sucks!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Drat! I was really looking froward to getting a clockworkmod recovery image working on the ascend. I read a lot how many other people want to do stuff with this phone but nobody can seem to tackle it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I bought an extra Ascend, cricket was having a sale, got it for $95 total with free overnight shipping, anyway, I just emailed Koush the clockwork recovery dude, and if he gives me the go ahead i'll ship the phone to him so he can get this recovery working for us.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
It was his guide he was using. I'd love to know if he responds to email, as some of the tools he suggested do not work as shown.

If he can work on it, I would be glad to contribute to the help defray some of your cost for the second phone.

I figure there something I'm missing...I just don't know what it is. I'm thinking of posting some of the config info and see if anyone can spot my mistake.

Hi everyone i was wondering if any of you guys experienced your internet NOT working and not being able to send MMS messages. My cousins phone is having this problem, everything else works but she cant go on the Browser and she cant Send or Recieve MMS messages. Can any of you that experienced this or know a fix for it please tell me. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Some configs for Ascend that I used to try to make a ClockworkMod Recovery

First off I followed the instruction in this guide:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html

Downloaded the correct Android Build System

Got my boot image by cat /dev/mtd0 > /sdcard/test/boot.img

My devices filesystem is yaffs2 (type mount at the command prompt)

My BoardConfig.mk:

BOARD_DATA_DEVICE := /dev/block/mtdblock6

BOARD_DATA_FILESYSTEM := yaffs2

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device

BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00500000

BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00500000

BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0aa00000

BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0bda0000

BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072

I end up with a recovery image.

I run build/tools/device/mkrecoveryzip.sh and I end up with an unsigned.zip and an update.zip

So far none of these has generated a recover image that I can use.

Anybody spot a mistake or bad assuption?

Thanks
