Porting CM10 to N7105 variants.

[DarthPiggie]

I would like this to be a joint developer effort for porting CM10 and AOSP Roms to the LTE versions of the Note 2. I have a device tree right now intended for the T-Mobile variant on github: https://github.com/SirWellington/android_device_samsung_t0lt3tmo
It is a fork of the n7100 device tree. There are a couple of things that need to be get a working build.

I am currently having issues compiling. There may be some binaries that I'm missing in properietary-files.sh
Anyone willing to help?

I don't have my build machine available right now, but perhaps if you post what kind of build errors (or more details on the issues) you are getting, some of us can give suggestions.

take care

Well I got past the build issues I was having. I had to fork the SMDK4412-common tree and make some changes.
It does some filtering on device models (naturally). I basically had to add the t0ltetmo as an approved device.

I am still having build issues elsewhere now:

firmware/SlimISP_ZK.bin.gen.S:5: Error: file not found: firmware/SlimISP_ZK.bin

It really shouldn't be looking for that file since it isn't a proprietary one.

That is a proprietary from the i9300...

Check my github. I've been messing with the t889 and AOKP. It's almost ready. Hopefully tonight I'll get time to finish it up.

A few of us have been trying to get this up and running. I still ccan't figure out why the build is looking for the binary when I removed it from the proprietary files list. I'd be willing to push and pull repos as necessary.

Try grepping through the -common device and vendor trees, along with (just to be sure) the smdk4412 kernel tree to see what is trying to pull in that file.

Just run through grep -R "<search string>" .

That way you can check every file in your source tree for a specific string. Hopefully you'll be able to track this one down mate!

 

[DarthPiggie]

You guys are correct. I wish we could grep through github sometimes.

Anyway it turns out that the binary is referenced in the Kernel's firmware/Makefile. When I get home I'll do a diff of that one and the stock Samsung one. Correct me if I'm wrong but the N7105 variants do not carry this binary do they?

Where did you fork the kernel from? You can use the smdk4412 kernel on nebkat's github or grab it from my github. I think that will help with a bunch of your problems.

I forked it from TeamHacksung. I'll take a look at yours. Did you fork it from anywhere?

The problem I'm running into is RIL related I believe. I can watch the logs and the modem fires up and goes through all it's processes like it should, even does a transmit and recieve... However it's not being recognized within the OS.

 

[DarthPiggie]

This has to do with the kernel configuration when you build it. I'm going to upload my defconfig and you can give it a try. I modified the one from the stock samsung kernel config.

Cmenard have you made any progress? I mamaged to get a successfuo build using your kernel. Thanks for that.

What do you think about pulling the .rc scripts from the stock phone and using those untouched?

Anything on teamhacksung github related to 4412 devices is old. I know there were some kernel patches related to some sort of firmware stuff...

Teamhacksung github is only used for early bringups/bleeding edge work on large repositories. Once a bringup is complete, repos get forked over to the main CM repos.

Anything related to 4412 devices currently (Nov 30, 2012) is in CM's main repos (other than of course themuppets for prop blobs) and managed via gerrit.

Edit: General rule, if a device is receiving nightlies, and you're looking anywhere other than CM's github repo and TheMuppets for props, you're looking in the wrong place.

SOMETIMES when bringing up a new Android version, things get forked to THS then merged back, such as with 4.1 (due to us doing a lot of repo reorganization and such), but all 4.2 work is currently in gerrit. (And, right now, it's a total ****ing mess...)

Seems like the big difference for LTE devices in the kernel is replacement of CONFIG_SEC_MODEM with CONFIG_QC_MODEM and some related items. (I've seen 3-4 different defconfig variants with different stuff turned on/off...)

the RIL blobs will of course be different

The RIL Java interface in frameworks/base might be different.

 

[DarthPiggie]

Thanks I did not know that. I will definitely take a look. That explains why the build was so broken. Ugh.

Havent had a chance to mess with again. Just make sure you change gps, add all the mdm stuff, tombstones mount, and all the binaries are in bin and called in the .rc. My modem is working just need to figure the ril out.

I did a diff on all the kernel configs and you're definitely right about that. I think one of the main things is figuring out the proper partitions for things.

Flashing is still blowing up my IMEI amd signal. I feel that I may need to update my device tree to use the one you suggested (not just the kernel). I'll try that tomorrow thougj. It's so hard to dev on your daily phone though, ugh. Wish I had it as an aside.

Was there any updates on this? I did manage to get as far as getting the latest n7100 nightlies running on the N7105 and ported over the libs and binaries from TW ROM for rild, etc. I also had a tweaked kernel imilka kindly built for the QC radio. Unfortunately I was just getting:

Diag_LSM_Init: Failed to open handle to diag driver, error = 2

Would be interested to hear what is happening for you guys with your real build instead of my 'hacky' attempt at a modified n7100 build.
