Root [UPDATED 8/8/12]Breath of fresh air....an update

Just a quick note:

Got the new kernel to boot CM9 to a functional state, but nothing except the touch screen and buttons are functional at this moment (wifi, radio, sound, bluetooth, cameras all not working).

adb is not being enabled by the standard init.rc but I used my trick from last night to force it on, and that works for now.

wifi has an issue in the kernel driver, I have an idea how to fix it.

d2a posted some missing radio libs and rild is starting. But no service yet.

Will look at sound, bluetooth, cameras after wifi and radio are working.
 
Like I said before

airmon-ng start wlan0
reaver -i mon0 -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -S -N -d 0 -v

Gets me wifi in 2-4 hours without fail
 
I just wanna say thank you to all the devs we have working hard on the spec


Btw. I'm not sure what's worse. The flamers on xda. Or the mods here...

the flamers on xda... i got blamed for copying someones work when i spent months on a project and got a suspension on the site.

the kernel would need rebuilt but we could use the same environment for the jb kernel
 
Thanks for the info. I'm excited to see development take off for the spectrum. Getting ics is plenty for now but knowing that jb is not an incredibly distant possibility is just the icing on the cake.
 
I think wifi is working. Apparently there is some difference in the way the bcm4330 chip is wired up between the p930 and vs920. I hacked up dhd_module_init() to look more like the code in the vs920 gb kernel and it finds the device and scans. The problem now is that the soft keyboard won't pop up .. so I gotta find and fix that.
 
Okay here we go. I'm out of time for the day, so I'm going to just throw out what I have in hopes someone can fix things over the next few days.

This is a test ROM. It's a bit useless, in that the virtual keyboard and radio don't work, but at least you should be able to install and play with it a bit.

quattrimus-VS920-cm9-test1.zip

The sources are up on github.com/spectrumhackers for devs to play with.
 
Since the virtual keyboard is not functional, here's how to get a wifi entry going. Not that it will help much, as you need the kbd to type webpage addresses, login to the play store, and such. But anyway...

1. Get the config:

adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

2. Add your entry, eg:

For WPA:

network={
ssid="yournetworkname"
psk="yournetworkpassword"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=1
}

For unsecured, remove the psk= line and set key_mgmt=NONE.

3. Push that back to the device:

adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

4. Fix permissions, if necessary:

adb shell chown 1000:1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chmod 660 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
