Root [Kernel][OC] rb3 Kernel for Warp LTE

Wifi is not working for me either, dangit. Everything else is fine as far as I can tell. Great Job.:smokingsomb:
 
in menuconfig under device drivers, its somewhere there defined there as a module. change it to compile into kernel itself. idk where exactly it is tho

From what I can tell, it's built in already. I ran a make clean to start over, to see if that changes anything. rebuilding the kernel now, will post when ready :)
 
ugh, apparently it didn't build while I was out. Forgot to update my PATH after renaming/relayouting my kernel folder device tree. Linux will only reassociate the old location with the new one for so long, hence the failure to build while I was out. -_- Building now.
 
modules are made at kernel compile time. they are kernel specific. they are not one size fits all. they have special headers and tags that let them latch on to the kernel and use the wifi chip in kernel space which is needed for it to be used in userspace

"In computing, a loadable kernel module (or LKM) is an object file that contains code to extend the running kernel, or so-called base kernel, of an operating system. LKMs are typically used to add support for new hardware and/or filesystems, or for adding system calls. When the functionality provided by a LKM is no longer required, it can be unloaded in order to free memory and other resources."

believe me i understand. but the wifi works on the awe with the built kernel so that module is obviously compatable. go ahead, delete it see what happens, wifi wont work. take the wlan module out of the awe stock rom and put it in the warp with the oc kernel

module is directly linked to kernel, this is an awe kernel... think about it
 
its also toolchain specific too. i use a diff toolchain than CDZ and ZTE
i use my own 4.6.2 linaro chain i compiled myself
CDZ probably uses 4.8.1
im sure ZTE is still using 4.4.3
so that module will only work on ZTEs 4.4.3 built kernel. i can try and compile my own wifi module but it doesnt show in an option in config o.O
 
if you could manage that it woupd be ideal but as i said doesnt the wifi on the awe work? that means regardless of the difference that module is functioning with the built kernel. id try that route first. if you do get the module built though youll have to show me how because i dont know kernels and i need it done for the zte force badly
 
idk why wifi on awe works actually. i actually figured it would be broken. but CDZ said it works so idk. i can build the module for force but i need your defconfig for force
 
its a different kernel, and as far as im aware needs a different toolchain. it uses the elden source, i can get you all of that tho if you would do it thatd be great. as far as a different chip i dont think so they should all have the same prima chip and if not itd be reflected in the defconfigs
 
its a mystery, on the force stock works fine with an elden based kernel, but cm doesnt have wifi while the cm for the avid does, same chips, same source, its highly confusing
 
actually i did have a thought tho. maybe with a few tweaks this 3.4.0 kernel could work on it. youd probably have to include excerpts from the 3.0.8 kernel for the older krait devices but its the same architecture really

i dunno id youd wanna go that far tho that seems like alot of work going through and getting all the mach aurora flags and porting them in and all that

heres the matrix kernel tho, basically what i use but modded for oc etc.

aurora defconfig is what youll be using not sure what its called exactly. i may also have the aurora defconfig on my github but i cant make any promises and i cant get it uploaded at the moment
 
im the one who contributed the OC for that kernel lol. i do alot of stuff in the background it seems, just helping out. Sony went ahead and posted prima module source on github and im about to fork that
 
if you asked me what i had for breakfast right now id have to think about it, sad part about that is im currently eating it lmao

though i guess technically it would be lunch...
 
lol same for me,. i often forget my birthday XD
have you considered moving force up to cm11? because im sure that device tree could help us over here get booted up
 
well, not yet i was considering it but i fear it would have the same crippling issues as cm10.1+ with sd and what not

and getting the source for cm11 is kind of an issue for me, i got caught tethering once already, threats were made, so now im afraid to do it, and its the only internet i have sadly

and ive tried to get cm10.1 booting using the layout from the aurora but the headers had issues, im working on it, i got past andy but no adb or boot animation though i did realize i may have accidentally messed up the gralloc... im gonna tweak it and see what i can figure out, ill let you know if i come up with anything usable and it can then be upgraded

I'm using the 1.6 prebuilts provided by google, hadn't looked into changing it at the moment. Yeah, the wifi works on the awe.I had to double check, as I wasn't sure since I use 3g quite often, but the 3g/wifi works fine.
