Another milestone, I got CyanogenMod 12.0 (Android 5.0.1) nearly fully working on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SLTE) Exynos version. Video playback is not working but I’m sure it will just be a matter of time … The source code is available are here.
If you build Android or CyanogenMod and you run into issues with HashSet_jni.h you need the following changes to the chromium_org project: diff –git a/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py b/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py index de865d5..d4a2324 100755 — a/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py +++ b/base/android/jni_generator/jni_generator.py @@ -555,18 +555,21 @@ class JNIFromJavaSource(object): contents) return JNIFromJavaSource(contents, fully_qualified_class) +def MultipleReplace(string, rep_dict): + pattern = re.compile(“|”.join([re.escape(k) for k in rep_dict.keys()]), re.M) + return pattern.sub(lambda x: rep_dict[x.group(0)], string) class InlHeaderFileGenerator(object): “””Generates an...
Back to these bad GPS fixes for Android spread all over the net. This time I will describe how to find out which is the correct SSL root certificate you need and how to create it. So first we need know the root certificate the Google SUPL server has been signed. There are several ways but we use the easiest. Connect with the openssl binary...
There are a lot of people around providing gps fixes for Android. Most of them don’t really help at all. I want to explain here what variables the code recognizes and what they do. The other thing is SuplCert which is the certificate to verify the ssl connection for the supl server. Most of the time poeple provide the wrong certificate. gps.conf There are two...
Maybe you already know that I worked since January 2012 on porting CM9 to the HTC Wildfire S (Marvel). It took quite a while to figure out how Android is working and how to get the the OS correctly talking with the hardware. Today I’ve released ALPHA3 of my work which is a pretty stable version. The Wildfire S is not a supported Android 4.0...

The fisrst is “Screen On and Awake”, “Awake” and “Deep Sleep”. If you use your device it you’re in the first mode and you need a obviously a lot...
If you try to get a new Android version, in this case CyanogenMod9, working on your old phone you have to deal with binary blobs. One of these blobs is the library talking to the radio, libhtc_ril.so. I wanted to document what I learned about libhtc_ril.so. I’ve wanted to get the library version matching my baseband version working with cm9. This resulted it several segfaults....
After Qualcom released new graphic blobs for ARMv6 I was able to get CyanogenMod 9 working on my HTC Wildfire S pretty well. There are still some problem which need to be fixed. GPS isn’t working, if you have GSM/3G turned on the battery drains pretty fast. I’m currently trying to get the camera working. There is also a wakelock bug with bluetooth in the...

I’ve got a new gadget, a nice and small Android based smartphone, the HTC Wildfire S (WFS). The week before I got it alquez finished porting CyanogenMod 7 to the wfs. I’ve installed it and started to use it. After some time I was curios how to build the system. I’ve asked alquez how to set it up and I built it from source. Then...
