Ok, everybody that is interested in getting a more stable system overall, may want to chip in as much as possible. I am going to spend some time just working on kernels. I know we don't have a ton of people that know kernels but hopefully in time this will have all the details that you need.

I am just gonna start this off with some reading material, that should light a fire under your backside, if you have been working on this phone like I have.

I'll hide it in time but just want to show this to you guys. This is all the work that FIH put in to our device after Motorola and VM abandoned our phone. Our kernel history stops at 2011/03/25, our device is FB0(X6 group) and FD1(our phone). It is also cool as it shows which files that were modified to address the issues. This is just what changed after ours was released, I will attach a full edited version that will only have our product related changes from the beginning, but it is gonna take some time. This is a good reference as to what needs to be changed in the system files as well.

Summary: DUT would not scan Wi-Fi networks after changing SSID
Do : [Change]
- Roll-back csrApiScan.c

[Symptom]
- [Step]
1. Power on DUT and Home screen ready
2. Turn on Wi-Fi and enter Wi-Fi settings
3. Do not connect to AP and check the Wi-Fi networks list
4. Change AP's SSID
5. Press Menu key then tap Scan
6. Wait for 1 minute then check the Wi-Fi networks list again

[Actual Result]
DUT would not refresh the Wi-Fi networks list and still show old SSID

[Cause]
- This sdie effect for welcom solution. Qualcomm suggest us to roll-back this file.

[Solution]
- Roll-back csrApiScan.c, and verify pass.

[Notes]
- Specific WiFi AP : Netgear WG602

I wish I could see diffs of the commits. But the camera ones are definitely ones to pay attention to, might be able to compare those files to the stock kernel and see if we can implement the fixes
My goal was to create a kernel based off of the M410 kernel, that will work across the board. But that has changed, to finding the latest kernel branch from FIH. I spent all day yesterday trying to figure out where TJ got his code from for the 2.6.35.7 kernel, I found some clues but never found exactly where he got it, he said he got it from Huawei, so I downloaded every available kernel they had. I did find an updated branch which is the Huawei Vision U8850. It has a month of updates beyond the M410 kernel. What led me to this are two files, include/linux/fih_hw_info.c and arch/arm/mach-msm/fxx_info.c. It is messed up cause when you search for those files our development is what comes up.

The differences that I am looking for are:
fxx_info.c: added Product_MP1, which the vision kernel has

fih_hw_info.c: added Product_MP1, which the vision kernel has

I am thinking that the one I got is slightly past what TJ used, cause there is a difference in the msm_camera.h that is about the autofocus and them using the wrong patch. Plus it has a few extra lines in the fxx_info.c.

Our issue is that, through the hands of so many devs the GPU drivers have changed and it is hard to tell which ones they are and where they came from. That was the issue with getting the m410 kernel to work on CM7.

Our reboot issues are tied to the force module being implemented to make wifi work. Cause our wifi module is looking for 2..6.32.9-perf as the kernel. That's why while mantera was updating the kernel he had to keep the version number the same. But then found the force module thing and never looked back. I want to just stay with the stock kernel and implement as many fixes as possible. We know that our kernel can work with ICS just fine as the xperia plays official ICS beta uses the same kernel as ours, as in 2.6.32.9.

Any way, hopefully we can get a solid kernel base to work with, our biggest issue is gonna be with the init scripts and getting the permissions right, I stripped out a ton of stuff from both the init.triumph.rc and the uevent.triumph.rc and everything still worked fine.


Any body that get a random reboot, use a root explorer to zip the last_kmsg, it is located here proc/last_kmsg. It is usually too long to read on the phone and gets truncated but the bottom is usually where the details are. I know that the 2.6.35.7 kernel is crashing the modem/amss, and that is why it reboots.

Ok, I've rambled enough for now.

Couldn't we just hack up the wifi module to look for 2.6.35.x? Sounds easy but I predict it will be hard. I don't know much about C language, so I can't be of much help, but I would like to get more into it.

Do you know what modual it was?

I went looking at mantera's commits. He releases a ROM with the problem fixed, but he has so many patches with so many updated files it's hard to tell what was done.

And in case, the 0.6.12 was built Aril 8th
The last release that had the problem wasn't listed, I don't know when it was built.

What does finding the latest FIH branch buy us?

Other than the touchscreen issue, is there anything holding us back from m410 kernel? Maybe this will be my next project.

I don't know if it went into the kernel or not, but way back when Whyzor rewrote the touchscreen drivers and made it way easier to use. I'll see if I can find the commit (maybe not today) and link the posts when they came in. I remember because I commented on the "release delay" he put in there. I think it is the driver that's used in CM7.

I think this is the first commit
This is the history for it
I hope it helps.

Well I had just wrote about a page of info when my battery backup went on the fritz and shut my PC down. But I'll try again. this time it will be in short hand.

I have found 3 kernel sources from the same branch, as in they all have the same change history but were released at different times. We have the kenel_2_038(stock), M410(Cherry/Mi410/Welcomm), and the U8850/C8850 kernel. These are all identical up to the point they were released, the info in the first post is all pulled from the history file from the M410 kernel, which is edited to show all specific stuff to our device. FD1 is us, but we use the FB0 as our base. And you will see that there are fixes for us even though we never got an update. Now the only real difference in the U8850 kernel is camera stuff. While the U8850 is not in our family it is based on the same board, the only differences I see is the touchscreen, BT and Wifi.

The touchscreen is a huge difference. Especially when it comes to doing things on a pixel basis, like trying to place an object right were you want it. The touchscreen drivers also fix the lines in the screen when the phone is woke up, that some devices experience. My dev phone has the issue while my good phone doesn't. I recently restored a backup of the Sharp ROM and figured I'd see if there was a difference, I had been playing AB Space on PA and it was a pain to get the angle just right, cause it would jump all around and even move on the release. While on the Sharp ROM the graphics were way faster and the touch was leaps and bounds better. I have incorperated the drivers in to both of my Froyo ports and also in to the CM7 kernel, all with very good feedback. The only problem is that i just did the CM7 kernel as a test so I didn't think about saving or pushing my changes, So I don't know which of the 10 CM7 kernels is the one that is being used in CM7. Right now CM7 is using the prebuilt kernel that I had built. The CM7 kernel you were using didn't have the changes I had made. Check this out most of the info is on that page.

I ran the modified M410 kernel with Sharp 2.2.2 for over a week and all was good. The camera was a lil wonky, mostly to do with focus, but that was to be expected since I was using a different kernel. The problem is that, we have had so many hands in the pot that some things have just been left behind, and that is what worries me. That is why I started working on PA, just to start fresh and only pull in what changes were needed. The basic things to get the M410 kernel to work with the CyanogenMod ROMs is the GPU drivers, and the touchscreen changed in ICS so to get it to work the pressure lines need to be added.

OK, I'm running out of steam here, almost 2 hours on a post, I had so much info before and now it is all scrambled in my head.

Thanks, I'll see if there is anything I can use.
