[Q] [L7] [DEV] V20a Kernel Build problems

So, i tried to compile V20a kernel and i get this errors:
Code:
CC drivers/power/lge_pm_sysfs.o
drivers/power/lge_pm_sysfs.c:25:38: fatal error: ../../kernel/power/power.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [drivers/power/lge_pm_sysfs.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/power] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Code:
LD drivers/net/built-in.o
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
CC net/netfilter/xt_length.o
Anyone tried to compile? How can i solve this error?

i managed to compile it but it doesn't boot . logcat not available.
Please, can you give me some ideea as i am not a developer. I will flash now my original boot img

hmmm is bad

Hint
Hello,
I also discovered that the way the kernel should be compiled according to the readme file is impossible. It does mention a defconfig file that is not available.
However, it is possible to get the config file of an existing kernel, because it is compiled in in the kernel:
Use the following steps, when your PC is connected to your phone with an working v20a kernel:
$adb pull /proc/config.gz
$gunzip config.gz
$mv config YOURKERNELROOT/arch/arm/configs/u2_my_defconfig
$cd YOURKERNELROOT
$make youroptions u2_my_defconfig

I built it using my phones defconfig and removed this from makefile "drivers/power/lge_pm_sysfs.o". The build was successful but it doesn't boot. I will start working on it today.
Update: IT BOOTS!
I wasn't packing it correctly:
These are the lines to pack it:
./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --cmdline androidboot.hardware=u0 --base 0x00200000 --pagesize 4096 -o boot.img

open lge_pm_sysfs.c and set power.h file to the correct path.

i fixed that error, the kernel build and boots from stock sources. Now i'm trying to figure out what to do with the modules as wireless doesn't work, how to apply patches and how to overclock because i can't find freqs in acpuclock. Any sugestions?

How to modify kernel
Once you are able to make a working kerrnel, it is quite easy to modify it.
After you did make a working kernel, you can do from the commandline in the kernel root:
Make [crosscompile options] menuconfig.
Now you can change all kernel options, using a menu.
You have to install ncurses-dev, before you can do a make menuconfig
Once you are ready using the menuconfig, a new config file is created, with the name ,config ([dot]config). Beware that this is a hidden file in linux!. You can rename it and move it to your config dir.
Of course, most of the options are hardware related, and you do not want to change them, but the options you want to change, you can find all in the menu, together with a brief explanation of their usage,

Thanks, this will be useful after i apply some upstream changes. I know about menuconfig but i haven't got the tine to check it out. Right now i'm trying to overclock this kernel and i keep getting compile errors (took some code from l5). Will come back with info. If you can help me these days PM me with a gtalk ID.

any news??

Ok, i think i had find where the problem is. I change the cfg80211 value in the config file to "m". And know wifi work fine.
This is the kernel link
http://db.tt/lfJeyFeY
The kernel also o/c able too
Thanx to @tudorsirb :thumbup: and sorry for my bad english.

Did you use pll2 or pll4 for oc? If you use pll4 there's no difference in performance when using the phone becuase our phone does not OC that way.
Your OC code hould look like this:
Code:
{ 1, 1200000, [B]ACPU_PLL_2, 2, 0, [/B]150000, 3, 7, 200000 },
I learned it the hard way . Check out github for more references.

getevent inside of application: Permission Denied

Hello,
I am using a Galaxy S4 with an S View Cover. This cover has a magnet in it, which the phone uses to "know" if it is closed or open. It also has a little window in it.
All AOSP Roms except the Google Edition Roms for the Galaxy S4 don't support the S View Cover.
So I thought to myself, I should make something that makes the S View Cover useful on AOSP roms. Preferably an App which can be installed on any AOSP rom. So I poked around and found out that I can find out the state of the cover (i.e. open/closed) by using the getevent command inside of an adb shell.
The exact command that gives me the state of the cover is getevent /dev/input/event18
which gives me the events of the device "gpio_keys".
When I close the cover it returns the following numbers:
0005 0015 00000000
0000 0000 00000000
When I open the cover it returns this:
0005 0015 00000001
0000 0000 00000000
So what I need is the last number of the first line. I tried limiting the output of getevent with grep, but I've never used it before and I wasn't successful.
My programming abilities are very limited, especially when it comes to object oriented stuff like java. At work we use ABAP (a programming language for SAP ERP systems) and most of what we do doesn't require any understanding of objects. I already found some stuff that would allow me to run shell commands, but I can't get it working:
Code:
Log.v("MyApp", "Started");
String myStringArray[]= {"getevent","/dev/input/event18"};
String line;
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(myStringArray);
InputStreamReader inputstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream());
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputstreamreader);
bufferedReader.read();
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
Log.v("MyApp", line);
}
InputStreamReader errstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream());
BufferedReader errReader = new BufferedReader(errstreamreader);
errReader.read();
while ((line = errReader.readLine()) != null) {
Log.v("MyApp", line);
}
} catch(java.io.IOException e){
}
Log.v("MyApp", "Finished");
This code produces an error message:
V/MyApp ( 6090): ould not open /dev/input/event18, Permission denied
When I use getevent in the adb shell it works without super user permissions (root). What permissions do I need to get this working?
I'm a beginner and I don't really understand android permissions.

Hmm.. I guess you'll need super user permissions to do something like that.
Try reading the following link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7707889/android-system-permissions-through-root
Hope it gives you some pointers in the right direction

If you need proper root support, use roottools. root in java is a pain in the ass, root tools fixes it
http://code.google.com/p/roottools/downloads/list
and i think there is some sysfs interface for this as well.
this is my output btw
Code:

could not get driver version for /dev/input/mice, Not a typewriter
add device 20: /dev/input/event3
name: "sec_touchscreen"
and then 4 and 8 gets spammed.
btw also set permissions to 666 when you want to read a file from an app

Can you guys please explain how to parse and understand what the values from this command returns:
Code:
getevent /dev/input/event0
?
I wish to just get the coordinate of the touch event.
From my understanding, even using "event0" isn't safe, as it could be something else that's the touchscreen. Is there anyway to get the correct one?

[SOLVED][Q] Commands not properly executing

EDIT:
The problem was that i was trying to read a line from the inputreader, when there was no line, so it was waiting for a response there...
Hello,
I am currently building an app to fix a little problem that exists on some devices with the wifi-mac and bluetooth addresses constantly changing (for me it's a N4 but I read somewhere that there are other devices with that problem too)
The thing the app should do is (steps taken from another xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43164157&postcount=1 )
- Mount /persist
- create the folders wifi and bluetooth
- create a text file in each of these directories containing the addresses that should be used in future
- fix the owners and permissions of these files and directories
- execute /system/bin/conn_init as su
The app is mostly done but somehow not working at all.
Everything from generating random adresses to saving them in a temporary file seems to work fine, but as soon as I try to mount the persist directory, the app stops to react.
At first, this was the first thing done by the SU Shell class that I wrote for executing su shell commands, so I thought that might be not working, but when I let that execute echo test it returns test just fine...
The code that is used could be expressed like that (this is missing some debug info and strings that get passed, but it should technically have the same result):
Code:
try {
shell = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
outputStream = new DataOutputStream(shell.getOutputStream());
inputStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(shell.getInputStream()));
outputStream.writeBytes("mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /persist");
outputStream.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The attached zip file contains my main activity and the before mentioned su shell.
The complete source code of the app is available via my git server: http://greensserver.redirectme.net/greenchris/WiFi-MAC-and-Bluetooth-Adress-Fix.git
Does anybody have an idea why this isn't working?
Greetings
GreenChris

I forgot to add the logcat...

[Q] Can't turn on neither wifi nor bluetooth

I've been reading a lot over the web to find information about this issue I'm having, but by no means I could solve this issue.
I just got my S5. Here's a (very short) excerpt of the
Code:
adb shell dumpstate
command:
Code:
[ril.product_code]: [SM-G900MZWPZTO]
[ro.product.model]: [SM-G900M]
When I got the phone, the first thing I did, as it was used, was to factory-reset it, because I didn't want any data from the previous user. I did this through the phone UI, not from within recovery (wipe cache/wipe data).
Once reset was done, I put in my microSIM and turned it back on. I had no way to test wifi and bluetooth at that point, so I used the mobile network to update my personal info, etc.
By the end of the day, I got home and tried to turn on wireless. The normal behavior of the indicator when turning wifi on is GRAY->DARK GREEN->GREEN, but the phone goes GRAY->DARK GREEN and doesn't go further. It stays in DARK GREEN for a couple minutes, then it goes back to GRAY.
The same happens to bluetooth. The only difference is that bluetooth takes less time to go back to GRAY.
The Android version installed was 4.2.2.
There was an offer to update Android, so I thought that could solve the problem, so I updated Android to 5.0 over mobile network (no wifi, remember?).
After the update, wifi still didn't work. By dialing *#1234#, I noticed this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1BOC4
CP: G900MUBU1BOC3
CSC: G900MZTO1BOC4
AP and CP are different. Shouldn't they be equal?
Anyway, after seeing the update didn't solve the problem, I did a downgrade, again with no success. The *#1234# now shows this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CSC: G900MZTO1ANCE
Wifi still don't go on.
I also tried to flash two Android 5.0 (Lollipop) versions available to my country (got them from sammobile dot com):
Code:
/firmwares/download/45787/G900MUBU1BOC4_G900MZTO1BOC4_ZTO/
Code:
/firmwares/download/44412/G900MUBU1BOC1_G900MZTO1BOC1_ZTO/
None worked.
I used ODIN for all updates. Some background on how to use ODIN can be found here:
www dot droidforums dot net threads guide-complete-samsung-odin-v3-xx-options-and-reference.278159
While inspecting the phone's dumpstate, I found this:
Code:
01-01 10:56:42.519 732 967 E WifiHW : ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################

The following also appears from time to time along the log:
Code:
01-01 10:56:53.549 732 967 E WifiHW : Supplicant not running, cannot connect
I read a lot about wifi connections dropping, but none about not being able to turn on wifi on Samsung Galaxy S5. Got to some similar threads on S4 and previous versions, but none about S5, so I decided to post here.
Some questions arises:
1. Am I the only one having this issue?
2. Can it be hardware-related? And if yes, is there any way to check this?
3. Could the Factory Reset have done something nasty to wifi config files? I read some suggestions to erase wpa_supplicant config files.
4. When flashing a new rom, is any data kept inside the phone or everything is erased?
5. Is there a way to reset the wifi only or updating its firmware?
Thanks for helping!

There could be 3 causes for this...
1. Kernel WIFI modules doesn't match the kernel.
2. Hardware problem
3. Not sure about this since I'm just new to samsung but it could also be from a corrupt EFS partition.
But to further troubleshoot this problem can you do this for me?
1. Install terminal emulator from playstore.
2. execute this command from there
Code:
svc wifi enable
See if it shows some errors, warnings or whatever text it will print.
if not type logcat and paste here the last 100 to 150 lines of the output.

When I got the phone, the first thing I did, as it was used, was to factory-reset it, because I didn't want any data from the previous user. I did this through the phone UI, not from within recovery (wipe cache/wipe data).
Once reset was done, I put in my microSIM and turned it back on. I had no way to test wifi and bluetooth at that point, so I used the mobile network to update my personal info, etc.
By the end of the day, I got home and tried to turn on wireless. The normal behavior of the indicator when turning wifi on is GRAY->DARK GREEN->GREEN, but the phone goes GRAY->DARK GREEN and doesn't go further. It stays in DARK GREEN for a couple minutes, then it goes back to GRAY.
The same happens to bluetooth. The only difference is that bluetooth takes less time to go back to GRAY.
The Android version installed was 4.2.2.
There was an offer to update Android, so I thought that could solve the problem, so I updated Android to 5.0 over mobile network (no wifi, remember?).
After the update, wifi still didn't work. By dialing *#1234#, I noticed this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1BOC4
CP: G900MUBU1BOC3
CSC: G900MZTO1BOC4
AP and CP are different. Shouldn't they be equal?
Anyway, after seeing the update didn't solve the problem, I did a downgrade, again with no success. The *#1234# now shows this:
Code:
AP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CP: G900MUBU1ANCE
CSC: G900MZTO1ANCE
Wifi still don't go on.
I also tried to flash two Android 5.0 (Lollipop) versions available to my country (got them from sammobile dot com):
Code:
/firmwares/download/45787/G900MUBU1BOC4_G900MZTO1BOC4_ZTO/
Code:
/firmwares/download/44412/G900MUBU1BOC1_G900MZTO1BOC1_ZTO/
None worked.
I used ODIN for all updates. Some background on how to use ODIN can be found here:

While inspecting the phone's dumpstate, I found this:
Code:
01-01 10:56:42.519 732 967 E WifiHW : ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################
01-01 10:56:42.519 252 914 I WifiHW : wifi_change_fw_path(): fwpath = /system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin

The following also appears from time to time along the log:
Code:

I read a lot about wifi connections dropping, but none about not being able to turn on wifi on Samsung Galaxy S5. Got to some similar threads on S4 and previous versions, but none about S5, so I decided to post here.
Some questions arises:
1. Am I the only one having this issue?
2. Can it be hardware-related? And if yes, is there any way to check this?
3. Could the Factory Reset have done something nasty to wifi config files? I read some suggestions to erase wpa_supplicant config files.
4. When flashing a new rom, is any data kept inside the phone or everything is erased?
5. Is there a way to reset the wifi only or updating its firmware?
Thanks for helping!

I believe, (Don't quote me on this), if the EFS partition was corrupted or lost, the phone would not have any radio functionality including voice and text etc
Also I 'think' the IMEI is also included on that partition, so *#06# should come up blank if it was the EFS partition causing the problem
But again, this is just what I've also picked up in the short time I've been with my S5 so could be missing something

[Solved], but the hard way
I took the device to Samsung and they said there was a problem on the main board (?), so they replaced it for a new one. I don't think I'm going to complain about it. Although I think that could be fixed somehow, replacing was probably easier. I said "the hard way" on the title, meaning it was a "brute force" fix. It is a pity I wasn't able to keep the old board for experimentation...
Thanks for your replies, guys. I didn't even expect replies and got yours and so complete! Thanks a lot!

Error during build

Okay guys so I started to build Omni for the Droid Turbo using existing CM 14 device trees. I got to the point where I was starting the build and had an error pop up. Does anyone know what this may be?
