Root Unofficial AOSP Builds

I don't get it... I downloaded the file, but I just get a 6.7 KB file... Didn't work...

EDIT: Never mind... I was downloading the file incorrectly... Now it's working!! Thanks!
 
Great! Using CM build #2 and everything works great (except for a few sounds playing from speaker and headphones), including MIRACAST (after editing build.prop).
 
Using build #2 and everything seems to be working for me, I'm building latest from source, and should have some results later tonight.

Thanks for all your work getting this going Shabbypenguin!

Just built CM with somcom's vendor, Shabby's repos and everything up to date and everything (audio, 3G, wifi, gyro) seems to work so far, save for GPS, which I haven't had a chance to test! Anyone who feels particularly adventurous can download it at http://andbuilds.ef.lc/peregrine/cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-peregrine.zip

EDIT: GPS is still borked but everything else seems to work :)

My gps works fine :o

1. Are you using my build?
2. When you go to Settings -> Location does 'Mode' read 'Device Only'?

'Device Only' = GPS
'Battery Saving' = mobile + Wi-Fi (NOT GPS)
'High Accuracy' = Everything (will work without GPS, however)

Anything other than 'Device Only' doesn't count as 'GPS' :)

I'm using 'Device Only'. And I'm using Shabby's build #2.

Ah, well then :)

Shabby, don't suppose you have an idea which Git revision build #2 was done at? Might be helpful to check the diff and see if anything GPS related is in there.

EDIT: Build #2 was ~5 days ago (it was before the Git commit representing the sdcard fix) and the only thing that's changed in regards to GPS in that time is https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/an...mmit/5402362d5e92ead79adce631fa1796e9296b3c95 (4 days ago). I reverted it and I'm doing a new build, we'll see how that goes...

Which is weird because I didn't have working gps also. Then I restored by to stock cuz I had a backup and it still didn't work. So I gave up and tried to restore back to cm but decided to wipe everything before doing it and then it worked. It's magically working now.

Greetings Nupich,
You might want to look at a few changes on my common that I pulled from the peregrine, I used a different GPS daemon and it's working fine.
Branch kk-old.

An easy way to contact us is by oudhs irc.
I think it was #oudhitsquad

Man I feel like a noob on this forum.
On build #2, it was built June 16th and had the boot.img repacked.
This was before Motorola released the 4.4.3 kernel source (which has a lot of stuff screwed for the peregrine).
All of the stuff since the #2 has been changed inside the kernel and it's creating a variety of problems currently.

Edit: your path didn't fix my wifi, can you link me to the specific vendor you used?
Edit 2: sensors are all fully working except for wifi.

On IRC now! Australian though so I won't likely be there when you're awake until afternoon.

Ah, that explains it...

I had a look at https://github.com/OUDhs/android_device_motorola_msm8226-common and https://github.com/somcom3x/android_device_motorola_msm8226-common and couldn't see any kk-old branch. Do you mean the regular 'kk' branch? All these similarly named branches with diffs that I don't understand are rather confusing to me at the moment I'm afraid.

I'm using the latest commit as of now (11cfb21c0bbf8e797ba04236a768f96909f3af60) but judging by what Git's reporting...

Code: 
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        msm8226-common/proprietary/bin/rild
        msm8226-common/proprietary/etc/permissions/qcnvitems.xml
        msm8226-common/proprietary/etc/permissions/qcrilhook.xml
        msm8226-common/proprietary/lib/hw/sensors.msm8226.so
        msm8226-common/proprietary/lib/libril.so
        msm8226-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
        msm8226-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
It might still be using the RIL from stock Peregrine (extracted from my phone). I kinda added your repo to the manifest without removing what I already had there.

Wait, my link didn't fix wifi for you? I'm running it as-is as of this very moment and wifi is working fine... Could it be possible my version of TWRP is interfering or something? I did a wipe of system, data, dalvik and cache before flashing that link so I can't think what's left other than recovery.
 
The fact that some people are reporting borked wifi while others aren't suggests to me that it's the same problem that some people have experienced with falcon, where some firmware files are getting wiped from /persist.

Could people having trouble getting wifi working have a look at what's in /persist (you'll need to do it as root). Specifically, is there a WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin file and if so what are its permissions?

Hey,

I've been following this thread for a while and I'd like to try contributing to this project. The thing is I'm quite new to ROM building, but I have to start somewhere to learn it :)
I'm having two questions that I can't find answers for: Can we safely use the 8226 kernel files and did Motorola even publish any 8926 files? And why is https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/android_vendor_motorola down? Can I get the vendor files somewhere else?


Best regards!

I see there's a new build with today's date... Is it safe to be installed? Is everything working right? Can I dirty flash it over shabby's build #2?

EDIT: Could not wait for your answer... Sorry :) Dirty flashed 20140805 build over shabby's #2 (with modified sensor file) and............

It's all working fine... Bluetooth, GPS (device only mode tested and OK), WiFi, LTE, audio...

EDIT 2: MIRACAST is working (after adding persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 line to build.prop - as it was not there anymore after flashing) Headphones are the same... A few sounds (for example, when pressing the volume button) still play from phones and speaker at the same time... But not really an issue to me, since music plays correctly with the earphones plugged in...

Can you share a link to the newest build
Click to expand...
I found it in this link: http://andbuilds.ef.lc/peregrine/ (just removed the file name from the last build link)... But the developer has not posted the link to the last build here and has not posted any info about it... So, don't know if he approves this... Hope he won't mind... DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

The file you're looking for is cm-11-20140805-UNOFFICIAL-peregrine.zip
 
That new build runs pretty great. Been running it since yesterday and seems as though everything is working.

Edit.. After a bit more testing it looks like LTE isn't working.
