[GT-P6210 WIFI][WIP] CyanogenMod 9 (developer preview 2)

SO HERE WE GO MY GT-6210 FRIENDS.

I sold my tab because I got an iPad 2 for work and used the money to get a Galaxy Nexus I will probably keep building this ROM once the kernel is worked out and everything is working. Most likely Build AOKP

Just like the GT-6200 Developer Release this is a very basic preview build of CM9. That being said, if you choose to flash this build, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I am not a Dev or claim to be one, I just spent a lot of time the last few monthes learning how to build from AOSP and CM9, and figured I'd share my success with the community. I am not resposible for any one bricking their devices by not reading all the information that is all hear on XDA.

Please atleast read through this if you are a n00b: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452716

ONCE AGAIN
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

All credit and thanks goes out to:
-Google
-The whole Cyanogen team
-aorth (for getting this moving on out TABs)
-locerra (for his quick work on the p6210 device tree & framework tweaks)
-garyd9 (for all his work on the p6210 and this forum)
-Anyone else that made this possible THANK YOU


I will try to maintain this thread as much as I can, but I have a full time job, school, family and a life

I will at the least be folowing any changes in the source code or on github and post any builds I compile.

I WILL NOT BE:
-Responding to any questions that can be found by simply searching
-Spending a lot of time helping people to get this up and running

This is what I did to get it up and running:
-Put the ZIP file on the TABs internal sd partition (NOT THE SD CARD YOU PUT IN TO THE TAB)

-Reboot into Recovery

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Wipe cache partition

-wipe Dalvik Cache

-format /cache

-format /system

-format /data

-Install update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-p6210-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip

-Reboot and enjoy!!! Not much is working though.

What's working:
Accelerometer
Hardware-accelerated launcher
Touch input
Vibration
Physical buttons (volume + power)
Audio

What's not working:
Bluetooth
Wifi
Camera
GPS
Hardware-accelerated video
Ambient light sensor(working for the most part in new build 2)

Hey! This is awesome, i'm glad you were able to get this running. I was gonna try to get it running, but I ran outta space on my ubuntu partition lol.

I was wondering if we could get wifi working by porting this..

Not sure if I could get this worked into a build. Do you have more info on what and where this code comes from?

P6200/P6210 use an Atheros 6003 wireless chip (also for bluetooth?). The open-source atk6kl driver from compat-wireless supports this chip. I found some interesting information about building this module on the HP Touchpad forum over at RootzWiki. I can compile the module, but I just can't load it.

Here's how:

1. Compile kernel:

Code:

cd ~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210
LOCALVERSION="" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="/home/aorth/src/android-ndk-r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-" make -j8 zImage

2. Compile compat-wireless

Code:

cd ~/src/compat-wireless-3.3-2-n
./scripts/driver-select ath6kl
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="/home/aorth/src/android-ndk-r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-" KLIB=~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210 KLIB_BUILD=~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210 make -j4

But attempting to insert the resulting modules spits out errors like:

Code:

# insmod compat.ko                                           
insmod: can't insert 'compat.ko': invalid module format
# dmesg | tail -n3                                           
<4>[  365.244149] load_module: umod=4015c000, len=1311485, uargs=01a1f008
<3>[  365.266659] compat: unknown relocation: 96
<6>[  382.490328] BAT : soc(100), vcell(4152mV), curr(0mA), temp(26.7), chg(0), full(1), rechg(0), cable(1)

@ohanar... help!

I need to learn to compile a kernel. Where did you get the kernel from and where did you get the toolchain/cross compiler from? Is it the one inside the cyanogen repo or codesourcery or what?

Sorry if the dumb questions, but I'm just getting started/interested in kernels

Thanks, I just found some good reading on compiling kernels. I allways find what I need right after asking in a thread

I'll start with the teamhacksung git. Thanks!!!!
