[Android] Kernel V2(fixed mplaya, N800 touchscreen)-No n00b friendly install, not tested.
 

No need for the warning anymore, seems like it was tested on N800 and N810 successfully, enjoy!

Oh, yes, I'm very sorry for forgetting :(. Thanks to josiahg777 for testing this kernel and a past one I made! I'm sorry for forgetting :(

What's improved:
- Now, framebuffer now defaults to manual so proggies using XSP are full sized, mplayer isn't green. (yum, green...)
- Rotation :)
- N800 touchscreen works :)


N800 Kernel:

N810 Kernel:

(The tablet will not blow up if you use the wrong kernel on the wrong device. Instead, your tablet's ghost will haunt you and kill you for flashing a wrong kernel :)). Nah, it's just that the touchscreen fix is different so your touchscreen won't work in android if you flash the wrong kernel.

Use fanoush's kernel_flasher to flash this kernel and then modify /usr/bin/android.sh to run "fb_update_mode auto" right before the chroot line.

Patches I used:
N800 Patch:

N810 Patch:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gzcgggvcdxr

(The N810 patch is a lot more cleaner than the N800 one but it still does the same thing :)).


(BTW, If even I could compile this in windows, the rest of you have no excuse for making your own modded kernels :P)

For the rotation, I applied this:

And then replaced omapfb_main with one that already had android changes on it and then added in the rotation stuff:

Those patches apply straight onto an original linux 2.6.21 kernel tree. Ported to the diablo kernel by me ^-^ and the N810 touchscreen fix was ported to the N800 touchscreen by me. I take no credit in making these patches in the first place, that goes to the elinux/android on omap crew and android on n8xx team.

Thanks to fanoush for his kernel flasher and for fb_update_mode.

Okay... It works!! And beautifully too!

Rotation works, Android will boot (it presents you with a blank white screen for about 30 seconds while the chroot command runs, just be patient) and the touchscreen works in Android!

You rock Qwerty12!

The blank white screen scared the crap outta me the first time I started Android 'cause it never went away. I thought I had WSODed my tablet! But I soon realized it was 'cause I had forgotten to follow directions >.< and hadn't added the "fb_update_mode" line to android.sh

Anyway, thank you again Qwerty! :)

Woot, thank you josiahg777 for testing!

Maybe penguinbait (pretty please) will update the installer to include this kernel ^-^ :P :)

lol, perhaps :P

It was easily fixed by the removal of and subsequent re-application of mild electric stimulation. (to the tune of 3.7 volts) :P

And you're welcome qwerty :) Thank you! and is penguinbait back from his 4th of july vacation yet?

Um, could it be too much to ask you to add this patch? :)

Everything is working great!! but there is only one little bug that i have discoverd, but i'm shure that this is an Android related bug and not kernel related, i've noticed that when using a stylis, you need to tap just above a menu item in order for it to respond. My guess it that the screen calibration gets displaced when running android?

If I get time :)

(But I have uploaded the patches I used so it's not just me that can do stuff with this now :))

It may be, maybe I ported the touchscreen driver dodgily to the N800 touch screen :)

But in all honesty, that android touchscreen patch isn't perfect (on the N810 as well)

Wow, this is really great! I've been wanting to play with android since it was announced, and now it's living on my n800! Very exciting.

Thanks guys!
