主题: Source code release for M860 .29 kernel

Repected Gentleman,

Please make available the complete source code for the Huawei M860. The release of the source code will keep you in compliance with the GPL license for the android source code that your company used to release the android device,

Thank You
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
So are they legally bound to release the source codes for all devices that use android os. Isn't that what it means by open source?

S.I. 77
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chewspeas:
Okay I sent an email to Mobile@huawei.com quoting the written offer in the file -

After plugging the phone in and before mounting, there is a document folder that has an offer folder in it. In said document, it states:

Written Offer " If you would like a copy of the GPL source code contained in this product shipped on a cd, for a charge of €20 which is no more than the cost of preparing and mailing the CD to you, please contact Mobile@huawei.com."

I would like to buy this CD for the Huawei Ascend M860. How do I go about doing so?

Thank you!

If you a quicker way please PM me. I'll do it asap and get it to whoever can crack this thing!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
Send them an email saying instead of a CD to send it through email for faster. But we could wait for a week or 2 and get the source code for free...

$ent from my bada$$ rooted a$cend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jadden:
I just bricked my ascend a few hours ago while trying to install theme's, luckily I had Amon-ra nandroid backup. Once again thank you IsaccJ87 you saved my a$$. I will post results for themes that work.

$ent from my bada$$ rooted a$cend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chewspeas:
Thank you. I will let you know what they respond with.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xketch:
Alright so I'm gettin my Huawei Ascend tomorrow and plan to root it right away so have a few questions. This is what I'm goin to do.

1. Download Titanium Backup (not sure how to use it but goin to backup stock items)

2. download and install z4root than run it.

Not sure if I need to reboot after I install it, or before. Also, what do people suggest to remove after I root (ppl seem to be removing the wrong items)? What program do I use to remove, titanium or what comes with z4root? Thanks in advanced, not used to andoid.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PariahLantern:
You'd be using titanium to remove and backup.

Other than that, try removing UNO and Bowling I think are what came installed. I don't know much else.

Does anyone know how to fix the multiple text messages that you get if you use something go GOSMS
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xketch:
Oh okay, guessing that means that I can use titanium before I root. I also read that photobucket is a must since its ran on startup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
pretty sure you must be rooted to use T.B. I removed the photobucket and havent had any problems. I pretty much wiped the phone of stock apps and widgets. The main thing to avoid is the gtalk and any thing related to google. Some how tied to market.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
Go into the options of stock messages and turn off notifications.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xketch:
Okay, hope that means that z4root really is 100% safe. I'll use t.b. after root and make the backup afterwards. Would hate to brick a new phone.

Things I'm goin to remove: stock games, photobucket and anythin related to cricket apps. Won't touch anythin google.

Edit: I had a couple more questions. Should I reboot before or after I install z4root app? Would I root before or after I activate the phone? (gettin it through mail). Also, what's a good keyboard app to use for ascend? I read Better Keyboard is good. Sorry for all the questions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
Root after you activate and the gingerbread keyboard is fantastic.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
Silly question but is there anyway to fix the zoom issue when you apply wallpapers?

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hatchetwarrior92882:
I started using LauncherPro, it took care of it. I also gave me a lot of options, its the only thing i use!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] symbiiote:
Hey guys i also have a Ascend, got it yesterday and rooted it,everything went good but now i think i removed somthing when i was taking out all the pre installed bs, it came with and now my wifi wont work, any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I have both a recovery.img and update.zip made by the guide I was using. I can't seem to find away to realably test them. If you want me to upload them. make sure you have a reliable backup so you can restore your phone back to the way it was.

I repeat I cannot verify the relablity of the recovery.img or update.zip. I will not be held accountable for damage to your device. If you still want to try it let me knowand I will try to upload both files.

Joe

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
There should be very little risk flashing the recovery, if it doesn't work, the old recovery can be flashed right back without flashing the whole phone back to stock. fastboot is a wonderful tool. That said, go ahead and post the recovery.img, I'll give it a go, it would be wonderful to have the clokworkmod working on our phone!!! Props to you if you got this thing working or props for even just the effort!

I'll post the stock recovery.img here in case anyone finds themselves in need of it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
Yes please upload :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] symbiiote:
how do i flash?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] symbiiote:
does anyone have a backup of the metrpcs? i flashedthe cricket one and now.. well u guys should know...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
Get fastboot from here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

To get the phone ready you would shut it off, hold the end call+vol down and tap power, the phone will stay at the white huawei screen, connect the phone to the computer via usb(I'm assuming you have the adb drivers installed already) open a command prompt and navigate to the directory with fastboot and the recovery.img, then issue the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It'll let you know if it is successful, then you can issue the command

fastboot reboot recovery

or you can turn off the phone and hold the key combo to enter recovery to test.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
You may be SOL for the moment, I did some searching and can't find a metropcs stock rom, if you still have your warranty, i would say try to get it replaced, if it boots correctly into the cricket rom, try deleting the bootanimation.zip, that might kinda brick it, so they won't know you installed a Cricket rom....

Well... if the recovery that linuxgeek is working on works, then if you can find someone that has a metropcs rom, they could do a nandroid backup for you...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
Man i stayed up for nothing. You could've uploaded before you disappeared hahaha
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dEris:
Off topic:

http://ipodify.net/ - I'm working on a site for us Ascend users. If you would like to join, let me know! ipodify.net is a temporary home until I get the domain purchased. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] barelynotlegal:
i know its late but you could use easytether as i am right now..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Thanks for going the extra mile, guys.

Let me know if anyone gets anything.

主题: source code for m860 ascend

In order to be in compliance with the GPL which the ascend was released under you must release the source code to the general public. Neither I or anyone else has seen it. Could you please email me the code or make available it for download at no charge as it was no charge to you? I live in the USA & the cost of the cd with shipping & handling would cost me much more than 20 euros. I would like a reply to this email so I know your on top of this,

Thank you very much

Rob
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] papawiskas:
We need you to not forget about us or give up on this device. You would be a hero to many people some of which may not have even bought the device yet. :)

Your chance at Internet immortality!

All hail isaacj87!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vadimsof:
Ive also sent an e-mail to the open source compliance officer at hauwei ..can you believe they have one =)

Will you please release the m860 (huawei ascend) kernel source code. please since its android is an open source project we developers would really love the kernel source code in order to further improve out new cool device =). it would be the best if you upload the source on you website and tell us the link. Thanks =)

Anyone have an email address for the r and d department. Maybe email spamming them might help light a fire under there ass.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Only small successes...

Well the search continues.

I managed to find the .29 source for the innoulux screen so many of you have but I running into compliation errors I have to research. If I can get the touchscreen and Wifi working I will have a complete kernel to start adding the Froyo system files.

I haven't given up yet, but it is frustrating.

Linuxgeek099
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Are you using the ili9481.c found from Code Aurora?

Also, if you have a innolux driver you think my work, you have to change the code in board_msm7x25.c found in arch/arm/mach-msm/ because the c8600 and m860 will default to the samsung driver. Guess you'll have to make another case in that file.

I'm not on my Kubuntu comp, but in board_msm7x25.c it looks something like this:

if machine is c8600 || m860

samsung driver

default:

samsung driver

EDIT: After my class today, if you can pass me the innolux driver, I'll try and see if I can build a kernel with it built in. Thanks LG and good work :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I downloaded Huawei 2.6.29 kernel for the U82x0 because it had the c8600 definitions in it.

When I applied my menuconfig to it under Drivers/input/touchscreens the Innoulux option appeared.

It wouldn't compile correctly so I thought I would transfer the Innoulux Make file, Kconfig, .c and .h files to my .32 config and I almost get through it all execpt a weird error keeps getting thrown when it reached the innoulux code. I not sure it's because it.29 and the rest is .32 or some weird call that I have accounted for yet. Still researching.

Linuxgeek099
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Oh, yeah I looked at that too. I think it won't work because it's for the innolux 93xx LCD or something. It's a QVGA screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
From what I can tell.

If I use my .32 kernel.

I need to fix touchscreen support and Wifi.

the U1850 .32 code has almost everything else.

All the other Huawei stuff is in there. If I could the Innoulx touchscreen ported into that, that may solve my touchscreen stuff. Then there's just the WIFI.

Huawei may come across with the source code eventually because it's the law, but they don't have to it quickly.

I going to keep trying on my end. Once I have a working Froyo Kernel, the Froyo system stuff is relatively easy.

Linuxgeek099
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hatchetwarrior92882:
We trust in you! Thank you for all the hard work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I'm not so sure, usually if it's a specific model they tell you, This looks generic to me.

Here's the config:

config TOUCHSCREEN_INNOLUX

default n

tristate "innolux Touchscreen"

select SERIO

help

Say Y here if you have a innolux touchscrenn.

If unsure, say N.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called innolux.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PariahLantern:

If you need it tested once you get the screen thing done, let me know.

I know a quite a bit about the linuxes and I'm a software tester in my day job, so.

I figuired if wifi doesn't work, who cares. I don't use it anyway lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dEris:
Has anyone got Facebook added to Accounts and Sync yet????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaxopia:
GPL Compliance

I imagine some one at Huawei is watching this thread. If any one has doubts, Huawei is in fact required to release the kernel source.

From the android source product page:

"...the Linux kernel patches are under the GPLv2 license..."

source.android.com/source/licenses.html

which can be found here.

kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/COPYING

The FAQ on the GPL website clearly states:

"...if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL."

gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic

It would appear that Huawei understands this license as they have posted it along with source for other products as referenced here.

forum.huawei.com/jive4/thread.jspa?threadID=330335&tstart=0&orderStr=9

Logically they must also understand that because they have not released the kernel source for the m860 they are in violation of the GPL. Without compliance to the GPL Huawei is not legally allowed to use the Linux kernel and therefor the android platform.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Hopefully so. it seems strange to me because it's a touchscreen module and we need an lcd module. I'll have a look in /drivers/input/touchscreen when I get home. Damn this would be sooooo easy if we had our kernel source. just move our code into the u8150 source and viola!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I don't think this can be done with the regular FaceBook for Android app. I say regular because when I converted the wife's Htc HDA2 to android it had a Facebook for HTC that could be entered on the Accounts/sync manager page, but it wouldn't let me do the other Facebook. Isn't there a sync option in the apps settings?

About the log in issues, make sure your account is verified and make sure you type your username exactly like you registered. It's case sensitive. I have an open ticket with Invision to get that removed. After tinkering around with the code, I have found out that I have left out an essential part of the login screen.
