I installed but my 2 DAC's aren't being detected. The lights light up but sound still comes out of tablet. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi All!
Need help. I've got a brand-new brick from my grouper charged with autodroid 1.2 and latest kangaroo v.2.
I had installed kangaroo over Autodroid 1.2 and was testing the fast-charge function while connected through a Y-OTG to a D-Link USB hub with a stick, easycam and DAC in it. All this time it was playing music through DAC. The hub was powered from the tablet as well.
The tablet was draining continuously. The amp.meter showed ~0.75-0.90A supplying from the wall, but if I was opening the battery settings, it was falling to 0.20-0.40A. Strange behaviour, isn't it?
While testing in that environment, the tablet was warm in the left side (I guess the battery is there along with it's controller).
At a moment music stopped playing, and the battery is off. It won't charge by OTG neither by normal cable - amp.meter shows 0A going to tablet. Of course, ADB doesn't see it. Any ideas?

So, does anybody know why this happens: grouper with Autodroid 1.2 and Kang v.2 on it while connected through a OTG-Y to wall charger and D-Link hub (with a couple of devices in it) shows "Charging (AC)" but the percentage is not changing or is slowly decreasing? Voltmeter shows ~5.1 V and most of time ~0.42A. Finally it may completely drain the battery while the percentage will show the same 30-40%.
BTW, when I first plug N7 to the OTG it shows up to 0.90A but if I enter battery settings it falls down to 0.20-0.40A and stays there. Why this?
P.S. I had found that the tablet in my case gets hot because of the chipset.

Is this still available? The files I downloaded appear to be missing quite a bit of stuff. I was expecting something much larger than 45 mb.

Thanks,
Eric

Also found a bug in "V2 with all modules, SELinux disabled"
The bluetooth stops working after flashing the version with all modules. Can someone tell me which module is for bluetooth so I flash everything except that module that is obviously broken?


thanks

Can anybody build actual version of this kernel from sources on github ? I dont know how. There seems to be some new features over last V2 version. Thanks a lot.

Assuming I could download it, which version(s) of Android did it work with, and does it support the Tilapia?

this project is not dead. It reached a high level of stability for android 4.4.4. There has some been frustration because of those who don't get what android is about ...but I have always done this as a hobby in my spare time because I want to learn more regardless.
That was the OPs last ever post, in 2014, and he apparently hasn't logged in for two years.

So, someone else who has it already would have to provide the download.

I'd be interested in trying it with the only slightly modified KitKat 4.4.2 I had originally - KOT49H, with a fix for 3G on the Tilapia (I can find the full details, if needed, but I can't remember at the moment). For me, the only thing lacking in KitKat was USB audio support - I need it as an input more than as an output.

    Kang-aroo V2.0 1/27/2014

    WHAT IS IT?
    A kernel built from source and released as a daily driver, based on kangs of other proven code which has been known to be both useful and stable. It's name implies that this work is the hard work of others, not mine and I do not claim credit other than updating, merging it, and building it. I do this as a hobby and because I support open source... I have no donate button but will assist you in any way I can. Please just ask any question in the thread no need for PM, even simple questions are ok.

    FEATURES:

    -OC of CPU up to 1600mhz, Oc of GPU as high as you dare, with trickstermod
    -mpdecision from showp1984, and custom ondemand governor (default)
    -OTG hostmode and simultaneous charging/fastcharge, switchable
    -hotplug DAC support, ALSO NEEDS ROM patch, more info in 3rd post
    -Smartmax governor via Oxydo kernel
    -ROW,CFQ,DEADLINE, and new BFQ IO scheduler implemenation per mkernal
    -firm sleep rtc driver, switchable
    -support for most common usb wifi adapters, including rt2800(rt3070), ath9k, rtl8187, rtl8188, rt73, so many i forget, can add any requested if they're not there
    -support for all easycap devices with backported drivers from linux 3.4 via linuxtv media git, see 3rd post
    -kexec multirom support as a primary and or secondary rom


    CREDITS/SOURCES:

    *kang of bricked kernel- uses showp1984's custom mpdecision and custom ondemand governor, as well as his implementation of CPU/GPU OC

    https://github.com/showp1984/bricked-grouper-3.x

    *hotplug dac and otg fastcharge, firm sleep from usbrom

    https://www.github.com/mehrvarz

    DOWNLOADS

    V2 with all modules, SELinux disabled:

    http://d-h.st/LZq

    V2 minimal install, just tun and cifs modules, SELinux disabled

    http://d-h.st/H5U


    XDA dev crue has taken the time to make an advanced power manager. With it you can control fixed install, firm sleep, and other kernelnsettings as well as control firm sleep and change the timers for audio focus and deep sleep. I HIGHLY recomend it for this kernel and/or oxydo. Latest version:

    *****new releases can mean undiscovered issues. If you have any, please let me know so they can be fixed...ENJOY!!!!!!
    __________________________
    SELinux enabled: I forgot, give me a day or two, Ill get one up. this build still just changes zimage, so works on kitkat or JB4.3.

    CHANGELOGS:

    Kang-aroo V2.0

    1/27/2014

    bugfix: trickstermod thinks the minimum touchboost freq of 910mhz is the minimum system freq....NOT ANYMORE!
    bugfix: tons of dmesg errors from touchboost in franco's interactive governor...governor pulled for now
    bugfix: laggy and slow aroma installer which causes black screen from twrp screensaver...GONE!!!

    NEW:
    -completely replace old GPU OC interface with new one from franco kernel. Users can now set GPU OC right from trickstermod, and go as high as they want.
    -cgroups timer slack
    -BFQ IO scheduler from mkernal, all others updated
    -smartdimmer as implemented by mkernal

    Kang-aroo v1.2
    1/04/2014

    -built wifi back into kernel, no more module
    -removed init.d script for hostmode controls, too many issues, use gscript or terminal instead, more info 3rd post
    -removed governor option from aroma installer, still can't solve bootloops
    -Now has support for all easycap devices, tho improvement is still needed, see 3rd post for more info
    -set SELINUX to disabled for now to allow cifs mounting, solve some other issues
    -smartmax from oxydo, and interactive for N5 from franco kernel, use trickstermod to change, smartmax is feeling very nice

    whats coming:
    support for r820t dvb sticks, and hopefully also support atsc tuners and US OTA TV.

    Kang-aroo kernel 1.1 (12/12/2013)

    -Fully updated to 4.4mr1, minus the battery driver changes.
    - removed em28xx.ko for now, its not working
    - smaller size, will eventually build wifi back in, but its still in module form to save size
    -tested with purity rom 12/8 release, wifi is now working on this rom, and should be for all 4.4 roms now.
    -Also tested purity rom with ART, reboot was slow, but subsequent reboots are taking about 20 seconds from the multirom boot screen, so all seems normal for kitkat now. ART was switched on BEFORE adding gapps, if it makes a difference.
    -still running fine on smoothrom 5.3, which is android 4.3, but I will leave the older build up in case these updates cause any issues for older roms.
    - everything else is the same, but DAC hotplug mod on the rom side kind've needs to be done in the source before ROM build to ensure functionality.

    ______________________________________________
    Kang-aroo kernel 1.0:

    "Kang"ed from proven sources

    *Tested with smoothrom 5.3, android 4.3.1, should work with 4.4, will be updated for 4.4.
    *multirom kexec code.....credits to tassadeur.
    *CPU OC to 1.6, GPU OC to 484, set during install or with trickstermod
    *OTG+fastcharge simultaneously, requires otg y cable for power
    *USB DAC support, with hotplug (please read below)
    *Usb wifi support: ath9k,rt3070,rt73,rtl8188, others
    *over 200 remote controls
    *easycap dc60, also included is the em288 module which supports the newest genuine easycap device, but this is a work in progress
    *usb webcam as a rear system camera
    *media playback after deep sleep, even with externally mounted drives

    this project is not dead. It reached a high level of stability for android 4.4.4. There has some been frustration because of those who don't get what android is about ...but I have always done this as a hobby in my spare time because I want to learn more regardless. I was working on a new app for easycap devices, but without hardware accelerated encoding our 1.3 ghz ARM cannot handle simultaneous raw capture, encoding and compression, software decoding and simultaneous live streaming. I actually custom built an ffmpeg for our tablet and in my tests i got about 2 fps MAX. on my note 2 it was about 13fps, so it has come down to lack of hardware resources. There is a way to do it with hardware acceleration but it would require someone with hardcore libstagefright skills.

    This kernel will be updated for android 5.0
    otg while charging will still work, but all timur usb audio stuff will get removed in place of stock google lollipop which means working audio, and mics as well!!!! I need time, but it will get done. Im not sure about firm sleep, it may not even be needed anymore. lollipop introduces "batch wakeups" which means that instead of every app causing a wakelock whenever it wants, instead the system will queue wake requests into batches, and once there are enough requests, it wakes the device, runs them all as a batch, then goes back to sleep. this means there are minimal wakeups while device is in deep sleep, and standby times for lollipop have been as high as 300% over jellybean on some devices. Also, I am about to post some new drivers and detailed info for watching live tv on the nexus 7. It works great and can even pause/record. It is a complicated setup but worth the effort.

    this uses new drivers which are practically bleeding edge from linuxtv.org there are also new drivers for all easycap devices.

    Updated Power Event Manager.
    • fixed Tasker plugin bug.
    • fixed notification (opening application, settings, executing sleep).
    • minor fixes

    bad news.... Ive just realized that the purity device tree for tilapia is a little...well....a LOT, incomplete. no pointer to the kernel source, no boardconfigcommon, etc.

    I dont have one (tilapia), so if i do a build with handmade device tree files, for someone else to test....this is not a good idea.
    I think I will try and copy the device tree from omnirom(aosp based) and copy it over, then remove the omni-only stuff from it, and run a build. this will take longer than a day or two because of my job. If i rush it, bad things can happen.

    on a good note, I am uploading a much better release candidate for grouper.....it ALL WORKS!

    USB webcam as a "rear" camera:

    Add a usb (uvc compatible) webcam as the tablets "rear" camera. The webcam must be plugged in at boot time, but is hotpluggable after that. It will apear to camera apps as a built in rear cam, the only downside to this is that the image will be off 90 degrees if you have the tablet in landscape mode, because it doesnt know that the cam is not really built in. I hope at some point to fix this, but for now i just use my webcam mounted on its side.

    Autoplayback after system sleep for mounted drives

    This mod is not mine, the source is here:

    https://github.com/clarejor/android_packages_apps_Apollo

    This is a modded version of apollo that allows autoplayback even from otg mounted drives after waking the tablet from sleep. It is a link to the authors direct download link.
