[Bounty] Acer a100 USB Host/Mass Storage - Acer Iconia Tab A100

My pre-apologizes if this is the wrong forum to post this in.
I'm calling it. It's Bounty time. I want to hook up a large external usb drive to my a100, and after reading countless posts of it being a kernel level job, and things I admiralty know nothing about, I'm ready to pony up $20 for the cause. Anyone else? I'm most certainly tired of waiting, and I am sure money is a decent motivator.
Thanks.

Why not just use the USB drive as a network drive and use ES File explorer to mount it?

I build it in FLEX-A100-REAPER-RF1 (not yet released), but it is in testing stage and as I don't have a a100 I cannot test that feature. You can also always use drivemount.

We don't have kernel sources, and Russian support told me that they are not planning to release them. And without sources any money won't help to do USB Host... Also, in service manual on schemes you can see that USB Host is not available because of hardware problems...

That's exactly what I thought - that the hardware itself didn't support it
I thought that they had to legally release kernel sources as the Linux Kernel is under the GPL license? I'll do more research and hound them down for sure.

Yes, they do have to release it. HP had some problems with the Touchpads some time ago because of this.

nand on rahael 800 project want you!

This is not my development
Information:
It's half a month since I first post on Neopeek that I managed to boot Android Linux kernel on raph800 from NAND. Although after that I had solved some of the basic and important bugs, I'm now really making progress slow.
Some people have made great suggestion that me making all the source open, and I decide to follow it. So here is it.
Plan to support: raph800,raph100.
Likely to be supported: diam types, other raph types.
Whether a phone type is supported depends on the test mechine used by our project members.That is , if you have a phone other than raph800 or raph100 but joined the develop team, then we are happy to add your device to the support list.
Sorry to say that it's nearly impossible to use git over my Internet connection, so I have to host the project on Google, using a svn repository.
Notice:
I'm not a professional Linux kernel developer and it's my first time to participate in a open source project(not to say that I'm even the creator…Orz), so if I make something wrong or inproperly please do feel free to point that out and I'll correct it.
Please none developers don't bother in this…
Resource and Participating:
Project is hosted here.
You are accepted as a team member only if you can follow the instructions below.

Exact same as haret/SD card builds, probably worse. Lots of optimization needs to happen for NAND, on RHOD battery life is way worse presently. Just because it's being flashed onto the phone doesn't mean the work is done...
if anyone is interested i downloaded complate source from google code. You can use it at your own risk. I hope someone will make shortly NBH from this.

This is amazing! I would definitely like to test the build.

Well, I had to backtrace you over to neopeek's forum to understand this post, with absolutely no explanation.
Folks, he downloaded the source from jamesallen426's google code site and put it in a 7z file...
It doesn't appear ready to test dude, I really hope you asked jamesallen426 for permission to do this... I would assume if he was ready to test it, he would announce a release and post it...
Oh com'on, he was just thinking of a good way to rid the world of the d-pad devil device (triple-d)
I honestly didn't think it was exactly ready for "prime time" but I was considering flashing when I had the time...

exactly. as I wrote "i downloaded complete source from google code" I don't write that it is flash ready, and write that maybe someone can make nbh from this source if he have time and required knowledge. If you want to play with this, here now you have source in one file, you don't need to install additional applications to download source from google code. If we want to push this project forward we need original files to play with them, test something and send to jamesallen426 new files.
Helo. Can anyone tell me what device is Raphael 800? Is it regular HTC Touch Pro GSM version or? Will this work on this device? Tnx.
Sent from my Android using XDA App
I believe RAPH800 is GSM (I could be wrong) but the idea is, we need others to test this that have no problem with their device ending up as a paper weight. As mentioned earlier: by trying this, no one is liable for you destroying your device. Just need testers who know what they are doing and are willing to accept this.

RAPH800 is CDMA (Sprint and others). The RAPH100 and 110 are GSM.
I have an HTC fuze here I will give to a developer for testing purposes. Contact me, and I will arrange to send it to you. US-based preferred, just for the shipping convenience.
Thanks.

[Kernel][Both] USB host mode support added (github link)

Hi ya'll,
I've just added USB host mode support for the Galaxy Tabs. ( Can some mod move this post to the Android developer forum and bless me for posting in that forum? I'm happy to answer questions/discuss but I can't post there yet because I just created this account)
[Ugh! because I have less than eight posts I can't include github links - you'll need to linkify yourself... ]
The github site is here:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified
Documentation on the changes:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/blob/master/Kernel/Documentation/usb/s3c-otg-host.txt
The changelist you probably want if you are want to cherry-pick into another kernel tree:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/commit/99388abf98f8b8583dcfb31339c8673a9fea62bd
These changes fix a number of bugs in the Samsung host mode software but are probably not well suited for regular end users. I would recommend that developers who are generating Galaxy Tab kernels consider picking up these changes.

Does P1000 have the right hw, can it provide 5 volts to usb client or we also need a power injector (usb hub)?
It really works? That would be superb news! Thank you very much for investing your time in it. Can`t wait to see it in a kernel on my tab.

Yes. It works for me on a Sprint SPH-P100, but I bet it will work on all 7" tabs (the USB hw seems the same). I look forward to some other dev trying it out and letting me know how it works for them. From looking at the samsung sample code, I bet it will work on most samsung chipset based devices (certainly the S5PC100 based ones).

I bet it will also need power for the 5V USB. In the samsung code they have bits that look like it is turning on the right LDO to have power, but nothing comes out on my SPH-P100. Either the sw init needs more work, or they didn't stuff some part when they built up the units.

I've tested it on a few Sprint 7" SGT's here, but it would be great for another dev to try it in their kernel.

It allows the Tab to act as the controller for USB devices, rather than the other way around. In practice, it means that you can use things like usb sticks, keyboards, mice and the like which usually require a computer (the host) with the Tab.
Anyone more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me.

Grief about Upload.to

Guys, what is the purpose statement of XDA Developers? I am asking that because I figure that the purpose should be within the lines of providing end users most enjoyable smart phone, technology, gadget experience, keeping the users up-to-date about news and developments in the same arena, etc etc...
I am a Sony Xperia user and, sadly, due to the fact that we live in the United States, we are banned from using some of this end product. This product is Cyanogenmod, that is being developed by an "FXP" team that purposely chose a media sharing website that blocks IPs from the US. I did nothing to be a part of this political debacle but I can't enjoy Cyanogenmod anymore. We are also banned from mirroring this end product, is this something XDA or CM would approve?
Some of you might see me as moaning about the issue but I don't know where to go, how to ask for help because I should not be banned from using Cyanogenmod just because some development team has a political agenda. I would like to hear opinions and advice ...
As I recall, the ONLY rule of CyanogenMod is Don't ask for ETA's, not "don't ask for working download links", not "don't mirror files". We should not be forced to download through any other means than a working link. we should not have to download 3rd party software that we do not want in order to use the product.
What is the official tie between CM and FXP? Right now I am not able to use CM due to FXP, what does CM have to say about it? Do they know that FXP is banning the US users? (Technically, FXP is banning US users by uploading the product on a website that bans US IPs)
That may just be a team producing a version of the CM rom. Have you checked the CM site and see if a version of the rom is there?
If a dev requests that no mirrors should be posted, then they're within their rights to do so, as far as XDA is concerned.
As far as CM is concerned, I have no idea.

No-one's stopping you from getting ahold of the source code compiling it yourself.
But even if you did, the only reason CyanogenMod ROMs are a reality for the 2011 Xperia range is because of the work of the FreeXperia team, so you'd still owe them thanks.

I haven't yet, I browsed around CM forums for different things before, but I will register there and try to find out. From what I understand at the Xperia arc forums, FXP is the team that does serve Xperia series phones with CM work. There are of course different devs that use the CM or Sony ROMs as a base for their own work, but FXP is the one that ports the CM for Xperias, I could be wrong, I will find out.

So technically it would be against XDA rules to post a mirror? I just don't want to cross the line with XDA, and frankly I don't give a hoot what FXP thinks. I have seen so many users just complaining and complaining about not being able to download. I can grab the ROMs whatnot from friends overseas, but I also want to help those who can't. So I would assume a private mirror should not be a violation of XDA rules.

I am not trying to start a debate here or I am trying to be a smartass. I know very well that FXP's work is not the only one I can use with my phones. If I could compile a ROM myself, then I would not have started this thread, so your point is moot. I am just concerned about a ton of users being blocked from using Cyanogenmod, something that doesn't belong to FXP if I understood correctly, for what reason? And I am basically trying to find out how to get around this nonsensical limitation imposed on us without bugging XDA. Anyone would agree that a smart phone user would need XDA in general more than any specific dev team.
If a Dev says not to mirror their work and you do then you will be breaking XDA rules.

The fact that certain download sites are blocked by the US government is hardly the fault of FXP nor is it a matter that XDA have any control over.
If you want to complain to someone, contact your Senator or Congressperson.
Anyway, this entire thread is now moot as FXP have kindly taken the time to respond to this matter already:

Looking to get PhantomPhreak53 some more permanent hosting.

I jumped in when Shabby's host cut him off after cmupdater appears to have gone crazy and ate up a ton of bandwidth. But overall I was planning on being out of hosting for developers by the end of the year so its rather temporary. There were a couple other offers brought up at the time so those might still be on the table.
I offered to take the 10 bucks someone donated and chip in and get him a domain and 1 year of hosting over at that horrible company 1&1 but it was doing the job before and it will suffice again.
Phantom is busy working on something and isn't giving me any clues so I dunno what to do. Jan 1st I need to redirect cmupdater requests to another server, question is where. Projected usage this month is 3 TB, pretty low demand with an average of about 60 GB a day at the moment.

Well whatever is used needs to have ftp uploading and the abillity for a program to directly access a file with no website, waiting or anything inbetween as cmupdater reads directly from a file on the server. Now Chris said something about people using goo.im for cmupdater but unless someone wants to explain that I cant say hey go use this or that see ya. Needs to work out of the box with no fiddling for the most part.

Once again with these hosts can you direct link to a file? cmupdater is going to point to whatever.whatever.com/whatever/api and if the file is not delivered right away then it will not work. Put it to you this way whatever I turn him over to has to work. 1/1/2013 I am going to redirect the links there and if it doesnt work, CM10 nightlies = bye bye until someone figures it out. Any real host works fine, anything that works like a file sharing site might not I cant just shove this into a corner and say sorry about your luck.
I contacted one guy who had a dedicated server as well before see what he says. Shabby is still combating high usage after the fact and well maybe I shouldnt have gotten back in only to have to say bye at the end of the year.
I'm sure folks appreciate you jumping in, if only for a temporary fix. This at least gives a little time to get it figured out.

I was going to carry on a bit longer just for Phantom but the current and predicted load mean increased operating costs in the future and I just don't have it in me. So I had to make the decision to help him on to the next spot. I wish I could carry on.
Don't worry all current builds (11/26 and up) I can redirect to the new server so none of the builds that can see updates now will be left in the dark.
I have used Dreamhost in the past. No complaints for the price but we didn't have much traffic. Very easy to get up and running.

Recieved thanks. Sorry for the delays in responding. Work is a bit hectic today. I will gladly work with you and the others to insure you updater works on our servers and can shoot out the nightlies to everyone

Alright thanks man and no rush. Have a couple weeks before the end of the year

why are we waiting...

Waiting for the sources that is, what are porters planning on sticking on this? Personally I want the sources to attempt to port Sailfish, only reason I bough the phone. I currently have the Nexus 5 and the OS runs buttery smooth thanks to the porters over at #sailfishos-porters
Am even wondering did I make a mistake buying this device when the Nexus 5, is more than enough omph to power the OS. But I've got it and gotta try, to atleast expand my own knowledge base.
also do you guys know how chainfire managed to build the kernel for it without the sources?
WTF?
The phone has been out for less than a month. Have some patience or start learning to develop yourself, rather than creating a useless thread, just to whine.
I got my 5x last Tuesday and forgot how little I like "pure" android. I think the usual progression is flash aosp then flash cyanogenmod once the nightlies start to stabilize. I know I'm in the minority but the nexus phones usually have too much Google on them for my taste. I like the hardware, but the software is another story.
At any rate, I'm also waiting for the binaries and device tree so that I can start building my own.

If you knew much about how android works, you'd know that chainfire didn't make a kernel. He took the boot image and modified some fstab, prop, and sepolicy stuff, repackaged it, and released it. He didn't build his own kernel.
In any case, I'm curious about this, how long does it usually take google to release their sources?

WTF?
The phone has been out for less than a month. Have some patience or start learning to develop yourself, rather than creating a useless thread, just to whine.

oh yeah Ill just go and create a kernel, and while am at it, I may as well write my own drivers. Maybe I'll call my kernel linox, and adopt this policy of sharing my source code so other people could collaborate. Maybe using some sort of version control, call Hit or something, maybe on some website called HitHub.
Yeah that sounds like a good way to develop it...Or Google could hurry the **** up and release the sources and binaries so I wouldn't have to.
Well if you read my post you'd see I was curious about what people wanted to port.

If you knew much about how android works, you'd know that chainfire didn't make a kernel. He took the boot image and modified some fstab, prop, and sepolicy stuff, repackaged it, and released it. He didn't build his own kernel.
In any case, I'm curious about this, how long does it usually take google to release their sources?

Not make but people have been saying it was built with forceencrypt disabled so I thought he built the kernel with that flag, (ie he had the sources). But it seems thats not the place to change it
Wow the self-entitlement is real nowadays, patience bro. You cant have everything instantly when you want it.

what to expect an open source based phone to have the sources with it?
No I know I can't have everything when I instantly want it, but really what could be the reason for the delay. Since am already pretty pissed about the force encryption.

I'm sorry, but you sound like a whiney little 12 year old who is used to having everything they want RIGHT when they want it. Kind of sums up the turn this forum has taken over the past couple of years.
In the real world you'll learn that good things take time. The phrase, "patience is a virtue" holds true merit.
Offer a bounty if you're that impatient.

For what exactly? Someone to break in Google servers and take the source code? lol

I'm waiting too- it's not like google is still working on the binary drivers and just building the production rom with hacked up device trees until they get the real ones. I could be mis-remembering, but in the past, I thought the factory roms and binary drivers were available the day the devices were released.
I can certainly understand being patient with devs who are working on roms (for free/beer/donations), but google is done with the rom and has already released it to production. The factory image for the 6p was delayed as well. It's not a secret- they are going to push it to every one who bought a phone. My conspiracy theory is that google is trying to bury aosp, and merging android and chrome will be another stab into the heart of both privacy and freedom.
and its outtt
