Im the first, im confused deep, why is there two wifi modules?

Edit: i guess ill wait for the auto install for modules, so i dont mess everything up,hihi

Installed modules with terminal, got no confirmation. Rebooted, still no wifi. Checked root explorer, lib directory disappeared...

edit: oooh, should be system/lib ; I thought you meant root as in the top level

edit2: ugh no I just keep getting "not found" errors

just replace the m1.ko with the respective files names from the download

Eason85 · Jan 9, 2013

Thanks, but I'm having trouble getting adb to recognize my device. Sony PC companion recognizes it fine, usb debugging is on but it keeps saying no device found

chewdaniel · Jan 9, 2013

ok then do the following...

1. put those 2 files into internal storage
2. open terminal emulator

Inside terminal emulator:-

su
cd /mnt/sdcard
mv cw1200_core.ko /system/lib/modules
mv cw1200_wlan.ko /system/lib/modules
cd /system/lib/modules
chmod 644 cw1200_*.ko
echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/cw1200_core.ko" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/cw1200_wlan.ko" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
reboot

reboot

Did this (very painstakingly) in the phone terminal, rebooted- no change. I guess I wait for next update :/

also, above poster is right - no deep sleep

Xperia_Fans · Jan 9, 2013

Wow it's a good things Deep has do a CM9 kernel

excited to see it but I'm not using CM9

Bro there is no such bug, this kernel is the same as version 6, I only added two lines of code so the compiler sees the new IO schedulers that I forgot to add for version 6.
I'm also confused, you mentioned it here, and on the original thread, so which rom are you using now

Eason85 is wrong, there is deep sleep

I tried it again, I get "failed: cross-device link 255|app_38@android", when I try to edit permissions or install it tells me it's a read-only file system, but I'm root already...

I re-su'd and then tried again, I got "syntax error: 'newline' unexpected app_28@android: /system/lib/modules" then again and it's a read-only file system

OmarBizreh · Jan 9, 2013

I need someone to test for me, I will be making changes to the ramdisk to make it auto install those modules. who can help me with testing please?

Eason85 · Jan 9, 2013

I'd be happy to test, though I might not have time for the next 4-6 hours.

I'm having issues with adbshell but I'm not sure if it's cm 9.1 or the sd-card mounter's problem. It seems that whether MTP or MSD I can only access the command line while the auto-run dialogue of plugging the phone in is up. Once that is closed I lose my adb link and it immediately says device not found. Strange.

im using the latest firmware .75 im also confused, il try to flash the kernel again...maybe it was just a flux or something

As for current issues I'm having a strong feeling they are related to drivers, though I wont make it as the main reason for having those issues. Yet I will see what to be done but so far I've done many things and yet those issues remain. let's hope Sony release the new source code so we can finally find out what is causing the issue

also this kernel is built for CM roms you WILL face issues while using it with stock rom

@Eason85 As for your issue did you have such thing while using CM kernel?!
To be honest this kernel is the same as the one I made for stock rom, the only difference is the ramdisk.
I will be compiling it from FXP source but I found they are the same (my kernel and their kernel)
but maybe FXP made some changes to work with their rom.
I will be doing another build from their source code

I can't know for sure because I never tried to use adb shell on FXP's kernel. :cyclops:
