Issues: Cameras - GPS - WMI Buttons - CPU Governor - Battery Drain - Android Subsystem #38

Device: Dell Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme Tablet

Most hardware is working pefectly fine, and the tablet is mostly usable, but there are some devices that dont.

WMI Buttons: The hardware buttons on the device are detected by hwtuner, the volume up and down work after initial installation, but after using bluetoothh headphones, these buttons never work again, have powerwashed and tested this, and its repeatable, also there is more buttons on the device that cant be used, would be nice to have more control over hardware in the settings app so we could configure WMI buttons, even the ones found on Windows Keyboards.

Cameras: The camera app fails to load any cameras, I have looked in /dev/v4l/devices/by-path/ and both front and rear cameras have been detected and loaded, again, would be nice to have more control over hardware in the settings app

Power Profiles: This tablet is usually much better on battery, running most mainline linux distrobutions, we have a little more control over the power settings, OpenFyde has almost nothing, this device has 2 batteries, both are 34wh and it will suck them both dry in about 2 to 3hrs, if I change the scaler to "powersave" I get 5 to 6hrs, this is still quite short for an I5 7300U so not sure what else is eating power, I also find even on battery and scaler set to powersave, the cooling fan comes on, in powersave, CPU should be locked at 800mhz, in this state, even under Windows 10, the CPU runs sub 50C and does not require the fan.

GPS: The GSM modem has been detected, and loaded, and data is operating, but this unit also has a full GPS included, under Linux and Windows, this works perfectly, but not under OpenFyde, I have checked, and the module has loaded under /dev/serial but I cant get google maps to use it, would be nice to have an intergrated GPS/Maps App.

Android Subsystem: I have tried to get this working on this Dell 7212, a Surface Pro 3, and a HP Atom Based Tablet, on all, the Android system does not work, on the Surface Pro 3 it will actual load, but the screen resolution is all over the place and it ends up locking up and never works again until I powerwash, the other 2 machines, I accept the TOS page, then it goes to a blank screen and never works at all, I cant find any guidence on how to diagnose/fix the issue myself, so Im posting here.

I will also ask, is there a community link like discord or similar where we can actually interact with the dev's? As I would like to help where I can.

Would be nice to see a little more granular control in the settings for the device, the OS is really fantastic for a touch based device, but I think we need an advance switch in the settings to expose more granular control and diagnostics.

As a last ditch error, I also installed the Brunch kernal 6.6 to see if this fixed any issues I was having, but it didn't.
