GPL Source Request for Moto G 5 Plus (potter)

RobGries commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I have developer unlocked my Moto G 5 Plus(potter), and I'd like to obtain the GPL sources for this model so that I can build my own kernel.

My kernel version is - Linux localhost 3.18.31-perf-g4efdd62 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 6 20:08:42 CST 2017 armv7l

Regards,

Rob

+1 plz release it as soon as possible.

chenyt9 commented 7 years ago

Sorry, the job is in the process, we need a few days to prepare, please wait. Thank you!

rayzen6 commented 7 years ago

Hi @chenyt9

Thank you for your quick response. Take your time. We'll wait. :)

FYI, addison sources can be used to build potter kernel.

RobGries commented 7 years ago

Interesting, so do I just build for addison and use it on potter, or are there a few modifications to be made? Are the device trees the same?

luca020400 commented 7 years ago

@RobGries the kernel is shared, all you have to do is build with the potter defconfig

RobGries commented 7 years ago

Gotcha, so the same build notes for addison apply here too, just sub in a potter specific defconfig and it should be good to go? What about stuff like graybus? Does potter even use that? I thought that it was for stuff like motomods? https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/readme/blob/master/MMI-NPN25.137-15.txt

luca020400 commented 7 years ago

@RobGries yes basically all you have to do is adjust this command for potter

perl -le 'print \"# This file was automatically generated from:\\n#\\t\" . join(\"\\n#\\t\", @ARGV) . \"\\n\"' kernel/arch/arm/configs/msmcortex-perf_defconfig kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-msmcortex.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/debug-msmcortex.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-camera-addison.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-addison.config && cat kernel/arch/arm/configs/msmcortex-perf_defconfig kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-msmcortex.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/debug-msmcortex.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-camera-addison.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-addison.config ) > $kernel_out_dir/mapphone_defconfig || ( rm -f $kernel_out_dir/mapphone_defconfig && false )

@luca020400

I've got my G5 Plus hands on to. I am waiting for GPL kernel sources. I have seen here addison kernel sources can be used yes, I extracted the Potter_defconfig. So should I just build it? Or should I run the Perl command on kernel directory and then build?

luca020400 commented 7 years ago

If you have extracted the config you could just use it

HostZero commented 7 years ago

Thx. I will try my PC is blocked right now once I get on I will update with the information Thank you

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

@HostZero Yeah that's what i did, extracted defconfig from stock boot using extract-ikconfig, then cleanup a bit debug flags (not needed).

HostZero commented 7 years ago

I have sent my workstation to office for upgrade. Once I reinstall Linux and all I will thank you a lot actually for helping me @Vachounet

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@Vachounet I have tried to compile.. with stock lineage 4.9 gcc toolchain (arm) where as i got some this kind of log.

I had to downgraded my Moto to 35 to 33 update as my device was bricked and i could only find 33 firmware.

defconfig i used: https://pastebin.com/8nDi5ft6

error i got while compiling kernel: https://pastebin.com/w3DRs4SF

HostZero commented 7 years ago

Update: I started building with a [WIP] Device Tree Device: https://github.com/HostZero/android_device_motorola_potter/tree/cm-14.1 https://github.com/HosrZero/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953/tree/cm-14.1

With the defconfig mentioned above.

The build is stuck at 99% Target Ramdisk.

Update #2: The built dt.img was extract same size as the stock but kernel size was different i think i must merge with some other defconfigs.

@charleseb please release the kernel sources for Moto G5 Plus As soon as possible.

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

@HostZero You'll have those errors even with official release (all latest device sources has, you have to fix them by yourself). Your defconfig seems good. Also, having a different file size doesn't mean it will not work.

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@Vachounet those kernel issues seemed to be fixed while building I'm trying to build lineage and test. I tried to boot but it couldn't it was stuck on loop.

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

@HostZero That's a good start :)

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@Vachounet I have a last question. I took the addition proprietary list and extracted I couldn't find many blobs even stock hw blobs? Is it fine or I must search for another alternative blob?

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

The whole vendor tree has to be updated for potter.

HostZero commented 7 years ago

Any suggestions like how to find the required blobs quickly?

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

You can use this as based. Just pushed my last changes. https://github.com/boulzordev/android_vendor_motorola_potter

HostZero commented 7 years ago

Thx a lot I will try with that and inform after the build is successful. I will not forget your help.

Vachounet commented 7 years ago

Already got a complete build, but got an error during flash. :/ Let me know how it goes for you.

HostZero commented 7 years ago

Sure. I will try and inform you here

chenyt9 commented 7 years ago

Hi all,

I've just released version MMI-NPN25.137-33 related to Potter (Nougat). https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-NPN25.137-33

Thanks. Yuting

chenyt9 commented 7 years ago

@rayzen6 @RobGries Please fetch the code from： https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-NPN25.137-33 Thanks. Yuting

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@chenyt9 thanks for informing us. Can you please name the defconfig we must use?

chenyt9 commented 7 years ago

@all, here is readme file : https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/readme/blob/master/MMI-NPN25.137-33 @HostZero, You can cat kernel/arch/arm/configs/msmcortex-perf_defconfig kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/moto-msmcortex.config kernel/arch/arm/configs/ext_config/mot8953-potter.config >.config

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@Vachounet I have a question i am facing a issue while compiling

Communication error with Jack server (56). Try 'jack-diagnose'

how do i fix this?

luca020400 commented 7 years ago

@HostZero probably the jack server is running out of mem, increase its max mem size https://github.com/LineageOS/android_vendor_cm/commit/84fda60f6be9a1c9e072ef6a335fa6300bd6a570 For example:

export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Xmx4gb"

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@luca020400 i have exported some arguments later i got a new error like their is no clue like how to sort out

I exported this: export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-4 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx3000m"

I got a error like this: https://pastebin.com/JuqeZX3J

Luca, can i contact you in a different way as Moto would feel this uncomfortable.

Jack errors are the errors i find all the time. shall i remove that export and export the argument provided by you?

Regards, Haneesh Raja

Update: @luca020400 my ram is 4gb so i could only increase max mem size to 4gb itself. after -Xmx4gb

i get the same error as "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-4 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx3000m" Error: https://pastebin.com/JuqeZX3J

luca020400 commented 7 years ago

As long we aren't /really/ offtopic it's fine All I can say it's that 4GB of ram may not be enough and jack is a bitch

HostZero commented 7 years ago

@luca020400 is their any other way so I can run the build? I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. any other way? I tried to get a 6gb dam where as my mother board is a old one. Till I find a better mother board can I not run the build?
