Like android 2.3.7 for huawei s7 - get

Only once I warn you, what works and what does not.

Work:
- Touchscreen
- Display
- 3G
- Wi-Fi
- Hard Keyboard
- Hard keyboard backlight
- Hardware acceleration
- Lighting (including brightness)
- Usb: as the drive as adb
- Sd card
- Audio / Microphone

Not working:
- Bluetooth
- Sensors (Axel, compass)
- GPS
- Camera
- Ext3 \ ext4
-----------------------------

I compiled kernel that runs it on s7 slim http://dl.dropbox.co...6/boot-slim.img

Don't know why graphics is laggy - maybe someone know what to change to make it smoother ?

Is this only the boot image what about the system image?


thanks

just to make sure, do i flash this using fastboot?

 

[blackwolf102]

Before flashing this you should firstly make backup !

Now you need to boot in fastboot mode(press volume up on ideos logo, or "adb reboot fastboot"
1. fastboot erase boot
2. fastboot erase system
3. fastboot erase userdata
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot flash boot bootimage.img
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot continue

are you extract the drivers from S7? would you like to share your way to compile this boot ?

 

[blackwolf102]

It really was easy to compile this boot(easier than I thought)

But now I'm stuck on making things work(camera, accelerometer etc.), don't know where to look :/

So to make working boot.img for slim you need to:
Take xhumanoid's kernel from there https://github.com/xhumanoid
Then take official huawei kernel for s7 tablets - look for it on huawei site
Copy s7 slim config from official kernel to xhumanoid's kernel, and compile it(now you have working kernel)
When you do this extract ramdisk from cm7 boot.img
and then merge your kernel with extracted ramdisk with mkbootimg
in mkbootimg you should put cmdline(don't remember now arguments but while extracting ramdisk you will get them) and base address is 0x20000000

Tried the rom tonight , touch screen works as well as wifi . Turn off animation to speed up graphics.

Thanks

Is there any further update, such as making all the sensiors working?

It's a long time since last time I flash a new rom.

i m interested in it. would you like to have a detailed communication with me about it? i m looking forward to develop roms on this device!

I have thought you been doing this work.

It seems not!
