Building for Samsung Galaxy S3 #11

Closed the-st0rm closed 6 years ago

the-st0rm commented 9 years ago

I am trying to build it for Samsung S3. I checked the patch file and I edited/created the required files manually and I did patch the kernel manually. I flashed my kernel using heimdall but I am not sure if it is working. I have Cyangonmod on my device installed actually. I am not sure what is wrong.

Any suggestions??

Hi. What kernel did you use, could you please give me the link? When you plug your phone into PC, there should be devices /dev/hidg0 and /dev/hidg1 created in filesystem, if you don't have them - the patch doesn't work.

I can see the /dev/hidg0 and /dev/hidg1 created .. the kernel I am using is https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412

Then it should work. Install this app to perform keyboard input:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.hid.keyboard.client

It needs root to open these devices. If your phone is not rooted, you can do 'chmod 666 /dev/hidg0 /dev/hidg1' from ADB shell, and then launch the app. On Oct 28, 2014 12:28 AM, "the-st0rm" notifications@github.com wrote:

the permissions are ok but it is not working. I think the problem in this file android.c in this function specifically android_enable_function

in the kernel you built the device for it the android_enable_function takes three arguments in the Samasung S3 kernel the function takes only 2 arguments !! This is the definition of the function static int android_enable_function(struct android_dev dev, char name)

I think this is the problem

On a side note I built it for Nexus 4 and it worked perfectly so thank you so much but I was trying to send the three combination alt+ctrl+t but it didn't work !! I did this echo --left-ctrl --left-alt t | hid-test.bin /dev/hidg0 keyboard

any suggestions??

You may try the patch for kernel 3.1, that's what I'm using for Nexus 7 2012 kernel: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/blob/master/kernel-3.1.patch android_enable_function() in that patch has 2 parameters instead of 3.

I've checked your hid-gadget-test command, and discovered that I broke this functionality, so I've fixed it and updated it, please re-download the file: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget/tree/master/hid-gadget-test

Hello, can you please help me with the installation guide or point me to one, i dont understand this, am using samsunt s3 at&t, cynogenmod 13.0, android 601.

thanks

conrad-heimbold commented 6 years ago

@horllste : Here is a guide on how to build lineageos for Samsung Galaxy S3 International (i9300): https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/i9300/build . The step of patching for HID support has to be done before "brunch i9300".

The problem seems to have been fixed, therefore closing.
