I was wondering couple of things about your ROM port from salsa.

You have replaced few libs (from diff, it seems following were the libs that you have replaced)

Code:

libaudio.so
libaudioflinger.so
libbluedroid.so
libbluetooth.so
libbluetoothd.so
libdvm.so
libhardware_legacy.so
libhtc_acoustic.so
libjpeg.so
libm.so
libnativehelper.so
libOmxH264Dec.so
libOmxMpeg4Dec.so
libOmxVidEnc.so
libskia.so
libstagefrighthw.so
libttssynthproxy.so
libwpa_client.so
AND added
libSFM_runtime.so

I am thinking some of them you might have replaced using either CM7 or AOSP GB ROM libs, right??
or you had to re-compile them. (how did you do CM7 or AOSP - i am thinking it doesn't matter right??)
And about libSFM_runtime.so, it is not there in salsa ROM, so it must be something that you compiled,
so what exactly does this do?? why is this required, as i didn't find any such lib in Tattoo ROMs
Does this lib codes any compatibility with other hardware gps, camera, bt??

Thanks very much for all the help you have extended so far.
Hi,
I don't know how can I help you with GPS.
Changed libraries were build using AOSP Android 2.3.3_r1 source code and toolchain. I

Code:

recompiled some of them only to change prelink address,

libbluedroid.so, libbluetooth.so, libbluetoothd.so due to different BT chipset, 

libaudio.so, libaudioflinger.so, libhtc_acoustic.so due to different audio chipset,

libOmxH264Dec.so, libOmxMpeg4Dec.so, libOmxVidEnc.so due to different VFE, libraries were taken from another ROM,

libdvm.so, libjpeg.so, libm.so, libnativehelper.so, libskia.so, libttssynthproxy.so, egl/libGLES_android.so due to missing floating point instructions support in MSM7200A chipset,

libnativehelper.so - this lib overrides some of JAVA native functions (due to missing floating point instructions support), new functions are loaded from libsfm_runtime.so,

libwpa_client.so - different Wi-Fi chipset, starts wlan_loader service,

libhardware_legacy.so - hex edited only, bcm4329.ko changed to wlan.ko.

We can resize all after geting the ROM component working.Instead of using sense lancher for now, you can use lancher pro or other home replacement.
Nice to view this project alive again

can be useful!

hmm it seems like it loads wlan.ko and we don't have that file

edit i now see whats wrong

sigh i've made a proper edit at start than i looked into modules folder and saw a tun.ko i just got to be it. then i edited it to tun.ko and i thought why not to be sure to check a working wifi loading driver? and guess what i did correct the first time -__- now i will soon see what will happen

Now i'm off to flashing

Yes i got a wildfire now

EDIT: When wifi works i'll be release a build, not for daily use but i need logcat

OK great i thought i failed hex the file so it didn't boot but it booted up, now i'll soon see if it works or not

miniAndroidian · May 16, 2013

Wooow a dream comes true?! Glad u work on it and welcome back

The last time I tested this ROM the launcher was really the only thing that was almost fully resized. And that DPI changing tried a Wildfire S dev and I think he didn't managed it. You should may have a closer look at KoolSense there the WiFi is working and also the Bluetooth works halfway.

**** there was pretty much missing information. wonder what libhardware_legacy this device is from. :victory:

ok i'm taking some time of, need to smoke

hmm it seems like i can't add somehing to the libhardware_legacy without getting in unbootable

edit i'm not sure, i may have messed up my flashable zip

ok i think i have un estimated the boot time ..

argh this boot time, this boot time i say

ok i saw that there was something bad in the zip

wonder what could be wrong, hmm

LastStandingDroid · May 17, 2013

Bad news guys recently I moved to my beloved girl friend and I was stupid enough to not take my work station with me.
I'm not able to work on this unless I use a hex editor on phone but I won't be able to try it. Also I can only provide lib files instead of whole rom so if anyone have a spare phone they can use to flash and try my changes it would be really appreciated

until I don't have my mac i can't fix a edited boot image to make it work with cyannogen as base.

Also I'm getting my new s4 due to my note ii is being messed up. And I'm not sure I will get it on warranty (tried some things that won't be good for the phone) but everything is back to stock so I hope they may fix it

SORRY guys I'll work on it from cell when I got time.

Best wishes last

LastStandingDroid · May 21, 2013

good news guys I'll be working on this again starting today or tomorrow depending on if i feel like it. sorry for the bad updates

i have no idea why it doesn't seem to boot, changing the wifi driver path works but adding the firmware path makes it unable to boot

i'm talking about: firmware_path=/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin

this is in stock rom and CM but not in the port,

Try changing the build prop to allow the firmware changes. That might be causing the conflict. You might have to build a whole new sense kernel to deal with the wifi and bluetooth. These are just theories though i am just a noob to android development. once my exams are over I will try to contribute to this project more but that isn't till the 14th June/

i saw theres a missing folder which may cause it to not boot, don't know but it was missing

EDIT: yupp the missing folder made it not to boot but now the now the firmpware_path=/ is set and now its time to see what i need to do to make wifi work

libs are from CM 7 hope that my help us, also i'm running on modified CM7 boot.img so there should be less issues with wifi

hmm

I/WifiHW ( 253): wifi_load_driver enter
I/WifiHW ( 253): check_driver_loaded
I/WifiHW ( 253): insmod <- this wasn't even in our port ? neither was one file called wlan_tools (don't think thats important)

I reckon the wlan tools is some type of WiFi settings in sense 3.5. Like WiFi always on and stuff like that. Try looking at the official ROM they used to port and see if these files are in there. That might give you a clue. Glad to see you nearly cracked it.

i use cm7 boot.img so it loads cm7 drivers. and i saw that i missed a file or two

missing wifi drivers

i saw CM reffered to a map in /system/Wifi

and i didn't have that folder

well its added and lets see what will be the result

Mubz_C · May 22, 2013

Alright. I don't know what that fully means but it sounds good. Anyway you are making some big progress can't wait to try the update
