[project]Port android to meizu M8

it thrust in you! We might look for a S3C64XX SPI Driver ? that is allways better then a modified one from an older version.

Thats not a SPI driver, thats a GPIO/SPI driver i think that wont help us :P

Nevertheless i dls it already an will try to compile it

lol i thought it was listed as a spi driver over gpio
keep me posted ,
and will see if i can find some resources on the tv out to test this

for those who are awaiting the tutorial from banxian to create a dual boot package have a look here until banxian provides onein fully english (or if one trnaslates this one ;-) )

What about the problem with the sleep mode (freeze) is it solved ?

Yes, is solved. You should download this fixed file: Download ReJacker from SourceForge.net

Evow04, can you update the main page link?

oh great :D thx ^^

oki loading of hspi driver worked, i get two spi buses but this isnt the right kind of driver... htis gives me two /dev/spi devices but thats not what i want i want a s3c spi busmaster driver to load my libertas:spi driver. It so that the busmaster driver loads the driver for his slaves, but this driver doesnt even register as busmaster nor it tries to load any drivers....


hum will try to compile and load the 24xx busmaster driver maybe it worx

thats right ^^

so it's fixed in both!? then i have to reinstall :D

btw: i've added a howto install android apps in the wiki...

Can someone help me please,I really dont know what to do. after i restart, i get the blue dual boot backgroungand then when the white bar has finished loading it goes to a screen with Meizu,Disconnecting People and a load of writing scrolls up the screen.After the writing had stopped, the last two lines at the bottom read
"Welcome to Build Root
uclibc login:"
My computer dosnt recognise the phone now when i connect it, what can i do?

re-copy the mdroid.img file to the /disk directory of your M8

(to do so eighter boot the phone in ipgrade mode or choose to boot the original Meizu OS (choose with the volume keys).)

First: i think we should make a thread for developing and one for testing.... the last 10 pages are nearly complete "hoe can i install...." questions... this is the dev thread.
Im dont want to offense someone, but i cant nearly see what i self wrote, how should someone who need this info find it?
So please someone create a new thread for such things. thx

Second:

lol i thought it was listed as a spi driver over gpi

Youre right with that. But GPIO means 3 or 4 lines to transfer data and spi means 3 or 4 lines to transfer data. The s3c6410 has seperate spi channels and seperate gpio channels. One can simulate spi over gpio (hence its nearly the same) but if our wlan is connected to one of the dedicated spi ports we just wont reach it. I just compiled the driver into the kernel and will see what happens...

My understanding od spi subsystem is:
One defines which spi devices are on the board. this is done in a struct and compiled in the kernel. there is also stated which drivers to use. When you load now the master driver, all of these defined devices will get their drivers loaded. Just then, because i think the master driver is the trigger (maybe he loads them self but i cant see that in code).
But when i load the hspi_s3c64xx driver, i can see that it gets loded but no one ove the other drivers i defined (wlan and a test device) gets probed (i did a printk message in them) they loaded an nothing. no probe for hardware hence the driver subsystem thinks there is no need to load them (because this bus driver doenst register as master) i will see if the spi over gpio driver reigsesters as master

Not to mess up the forum, so you can't read your own post, but i have to say that wlan would be very nice in android!
The next steps would be 'disk' recognise and phone function
Then android is nearly ready.(bluetooth/mic function for headphone are just little unimportant things.......

@Loonix,Thank you very much for your help, i was so worried about this i eveb ran into town really quyickly to buy a new crappy cheap phone.
@r3wdy, i am very sorry for inapropriately messaging in this thread and muddling the great work you and others are doing,i just wasnt sure what else to do. I agree with you about the two different threads.

Maybe it is an idea to create a new thread with change logs like:
Banxian: creating dualboot
Banxian: testing dualboot
R3wdy: creating Wlan driver
R3wdy: testing Wlan driver

But ofcourse only developers allowed to 'twitter'!
In this way we can make a good vision of the progress.

Like twitter

Hello people!!! I don't know what i did wrong but the instalation stops in the screen Meizu Disconnecting people...the last two lines are
"Waiting disk.....
<7>i2c-adapter i2c-0: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x1a, len=2"
Can you help me???? Thank you!!!

done & thanks for the reminder!
I am wondering if i should add all android builds or just the most recent one?

btw: i've added a howto install android apps in the wiki...

great i noticed it, if one could add pictures that would be cool, you could use the code i provided on the screenshot´s page.

Youre right with that. But GPIO means...

thanks for clearing that out! btw i expect that one of your following post will be a victory shout!

I really hate it i cant do anything untill i have mine back:@

btw banxian is making progress it seems:

• on November 10, 2009 10:04
  Introduced gray scale font.
  
• on November 10, 2009 09:51Prepare gray fonts.
  

And for the ones who are interested, on bbs is a dualboot package with the new ui included.

@ miron79 : using 16gb model?

take battery out and start again

Ok, I opened a new thread for all questions and other related items.
Will clean first post in the coming days to make it clear to everyone that one should use an other thread for end user questions.

A victory shout... lets see what i can do ^^
It seems that the gpio and sip parts of all of the s3c familiy are quite similar. i saw this by comparing registers.
And so i was able to compile the s3c24xx_sip driver in my s3c6410 tree with a little minor changes.
I noticed that in newer kernel some functions which were calles e.c. s3c2410_gpio_set are now calles s3c_gpio_setpin. so translated most of the code to this and i compiled, but i couldnt test it. Has to say nothing, but maybe we finally have a spi driver. i will see tomrorrow..
