Call for collaboration on few Kernel projects
by Shamit Verma 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi All, Got a Tablet that runs Android (Kernel 2.6.36.3 on ARM Cortex A9). Was pleasantly surprised to see that I can apply Linux knowledge for Android development. Working on these two hobby projects: 1. Enabling Bluetooth DUN 2. Enabling 3G USB sticks Primarily, this would involve 1. Modifying Kernel modules (E.g. usb_modswitch) to work on ARM and to work without glibc. 2. Shell scripts for loading modules + setting up networking (E.g. ppp) via userland tools. On Android, we have: 1. Code that already works on other Linux systems 2. Easy to use dev environment and build/debug tools 3. Linux userland tools (via BusyBox) Please let me know if you want to collaborate or help. All work would be maintianed as open source on some repository like Github / Sourceforge / Google Code. Regards, Shamit

Long time to detect Reliance Data Card
by H.S.Rai 22 May '11

22 May '11

On Ubuntu 10.10, Reliance Netconnect, Broadband+ works out of box, with following one issue: It takes long time (2 to 4 minutes), to appear in Network Manager. What could be the issue, and can we do something (to issue some command, run script, or setting) to make it appear in less time (say 10 seconds). -- H.S.Rai

Request to kernel developers for help
by Nishit Dave 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello everyone, Most of you must be aware of the Indian tech startup Notion Ink, which has released its much-awaited nVIDIA Tegra 2 based tablet, Adam, which runs on Android 2.2. You must also be aware that Google has not released the source code of Honeycomb (Android 3.0), claiming that much work needs to be done, but some large hardware manufacturers like Motorola, Acer, Asus etc. already have access, and have released their Honeycomb tablets based on nVIDIA Tegra 2 to a great public reception. The Adam tablet is technically as capable as the rest of the Tegra 2 devices, but it suffers from lack of access to the latest operating system. On the other hand, Notion Ink has been supportive of efforts by hackers to improve upon the device software, which has given us various alternative ROMs, root access, etc. As of now, the community of hackers organised around the forum at http://tabletroms.com is focusing its effort on porting Honeycomb to the Adam and other 'left out' tablets. This work is being done by tweaking the system dumps obtained out of the existing Honeycomb tablets, and so far, there has been substantial progress in getting it to run on the Adam. ( http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?356-Honeycomb-on-the-Adam-%28Up… ) As you may read on the thread above, there is still lots of work to be done to have a stable system, and much of this concerns the kernel. ( http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?596-WIP-Honeycomb-kernel-(nv-te… ) The community is running short of experienced hands at kernel development, and would like to solicit your help in the kernel development effort. If you are an experienced kernel developer with interest in Android or embedded systems, you could be an ideal candidate. In fact, the community has chipped in to create a bounty for a fully working instance of Honeycomb, with amounts set aside for different aspects of the OS. (http://tabletroms.com/forums/content.php?2-Honeycomb-ROM-Contest) (http://tabletroms.com/forums/content.php?4-Stabilize-the-HC-Rom) We know that the chief motivators for open source contributors are knowledge, community building and recognition, not money. However, it always helps to show our gratitude for your contribution, apart from actually using it. Many members have also demonstrated good spirit by sending donations to student developers and others that have been helping maintain the forum and development out of their own pockets. If any of you feel that the likely end results are worth the effort, please feel free to visit the forum or IRC at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23%23adamroot&uio=d4 Best regards, Nishit ps: If you are interested in the device itself, some owners are willing to sell their tablets as they have access to other alternative models.
