GPL Source Request for Moto G 5 Plus (potter) #104

RobGries · 2017-04-03T23:03:51Z

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 · 2017-04-05T06:11:09Z

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

rayzen6 · 2017-04-05T09:52:02Z

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 · 2017-04-08T14:26:16Z

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 · 2017-04-08T14:31:00Z

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

RobGries · 2017-04-08T14:33:59Z

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?

luca020400 · 2017-04-08T14:34:52Z

@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 · 2017-04-09T07:26:02Z

If you have extracted the config you could just use it

HostZero · 2017-04-09T07:34:12Z

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

Vachounet · 2017-04-09T16:11:08Z

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

HostZero · 2017-04-09T16:34:35Z

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 · 2017-04-11T03:56:16Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T05:58:11Z

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 · 2017-04-11T07:44:54Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T08:01:55Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T08:07:38Z

@HostZero That's a good start :)

HostZero · 2017-04-11T08:09:50Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T08:11:46Z

The whole vendor tree has to be updated for potter.

HostZero · 2017-04-11T08:15:20Z

Any suggestions like how to find the required blobs quickly?

Vachounet · 2017-04-11T08:20:23Z

You can use this as based. Just pushed my last changes.

HostZero · 2017-04-11T08:22:00Z

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

Vachounet · 2017-04-11T08:24:36Z

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

HostZero · 2017-04-11T08:25:43Z

Sure. I will try and inform you here

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

chenyt9 · 2017-04-11T08:36:33Z

@ALL, here is readme file : https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/readme/blob/master/MMI-NPN25.137-33

HostZero · 2017-04-11T14:37:04Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T16:05:58Z

@HostZero probably the jack server is running out of mem, increase its max mem size
LineageOS/android_vendor_cm@84fda60
For example:

export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Xmx4gb"

HostZero · 2017-04-11T16:13:11Z

@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 · 2017-04-11T17:41:28Z

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 · 2017-04-11T17:43:46Z

@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?

@HostZero

Check your XDA PM mate. :)

jaggu1989 · 2017-04-15T17:45:35Z

@HostZero .. I too got the same error ... With Jack .... I also have 4 gb ram ... So the culprit is ram
