very good

the kernel compile well and i can select also the Ap 6330 wifi module

i compiled the rk3188_dongle_defconfig with the addition of the AP6330 wifi module

Wow just wow we got our hands on the source really fast ! I wasn't expecting it to be available so early ! Great news !

PicUntu

Can we see PicUntu in near future?

PicUntu Super sure.


But i hope in a good cyanogenmod also.

What exactly does this all mean? Better wifi, bt, storage and video player? Perfected Rom?

With the kernel source code you can add support for other hardware, you can improve all hardware part of the device and you can suppose to build also a completly new Android build like AOSP and Cyanogenmod, and you can run also linux on this device.

Sweet!

Signature? Signature!

The firt thing I tried copying was wpa_supplicant its located in etc/wifi the location changed in 4.2.2 I believe. Or maybe its just within this rom but thats where I found it. But I dont think this device is using any ap6330 wifi module, or perhaps it is, but the rk903 wifi/bluetooth drivers from the stock cube rom work which is weird. Either way, hope we can get it working soon as I cant test many apps without a network connection! Im excited for kernel source too, im not sure what I will be able to do with it at this point since im noob but im gonna screw with it and see what I can learn. What portion of the zip from github is the kernel source is it the whole master directory or the specific kernel directory, I found a nice tutorial

[Finless]

Usually the driver is in the kernel now. Only modules usually used are rkwifi.ko and wlan.ko

Then you may also need
/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
/bin/wpa_supplicant

Bluetooth is totally another thing! And sometimes can be very difficult to port as it is linked in with many things. There are many files from many places that "may" need to be ported. Some ROMs are totally different how it is implemented and thus what is needed varies.

Files may include at least these if they exist.
/app/bluetooth.apk
/etc/bluetooth/*
/etc/bluez/*
/lib/libblue*.so
/bin/blue*

Now there may be other files from /bin depeneding on how it was implemented in drivers! Sometimes you have to spend the time to figure out what they are. One ROM I ported I found I needed the /bin/hciattach binary for it to work!

Woot woot! Built my first kernel with ap6330 support as well! Does this mean that we don't have to replace all those files now because support is built into kernel

[Spotopolis]

This makes me happy and excited.... I have my T428 in my desk at work with me right now along with a DVI to HDMI adapter.... I might have to play at work.

Very good news!

I do not have experience in compiling, but have a lot of time, and would be interest in this. I did use linux and unix a long time ago, do you have any good tutorial to point to me. I just received my ac1750 router and waiting to test it with my t428.

I have the same router and the best I am getting in WiFi speeds is 65Mbps right now, and thats with 5GHz running on N only and 80MHz bandwidth only. Really excited to see if we cant get any faster speeds since it "supports" AC, but only having 1 internal antenna, Im not expecting much.

EDIT: I really dont understand why they built a stick with only 1 antenna (let alone internal) when they have 802.11ac support. The MK808 had 2 antennas, why didnt the T428.

Hey bob or strauzo, after compiling kernel my img came out to be a little over 8mb - in the parameter file kernel img is set to 0x60408000 is that where I should make adjustment for increased size? Here is tutorial on how to compile kernel from source: http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechfo...php?f=66&t=835
