Android x86 ICS - T101mt

[Gia90]

Hi everyone,
I'm really disappointed because also this new release doesn't allow me
to connect through wifi to any network on my t101mt...
Another issue, is that it does not remeber the changes made to the
widgets...

I really like your great work and i i'd really like to help you to
make android x86 work on T101mt, which would be a perfect android
tablet!
I have some knowledge about linux but i don't know a lot about
android...

So if someone can point me in the right direction, i would like to
investigate, first of all, in the wifi issue, and then in the minor
issues...

Any help would be much appreciated!!

For the WiFi issue, not all Wireless cards are supported. I know that
mine is a AR5B95 Half Height and WiFi works out of box.

Sometimes you can change WiFi cards on the laptops but you MUST make
sure the replacement is branded for your laptop. Ie; make sure you
replace your HP's WiFi card with a HP card. If you try card from say
Dell it won't work.

Hello!

I have same problems with my T101MT (Atom N570).
I tried many ICS builds: android-x86-4.0-eeepc-20120101.iso, android-
x86-4.0-eeepc-20111225.iso, android-x86-4.0-asus_laptop-20120101.iso,
android-x86-4.0-asus_laptop-20111225.iso, android-x86-4.0-
eeepc-20111209.iso.
Wi-Fi is not working (as in #557, #620, #621, #659, #667, #686). I
tried to switch it on/off from BIOS with no luck.

As a linux user I know about iwconfig, iwlist and rfkill. An android
alternative for them is "network stack". I do not how to toggle wi-fi
with it.
According to lcpci my wi-fi card is (from Ubuntu 11.04):
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01).
How can I help developers to solve the problem?

As temporary solution this works for me (http://code.google.com/p/
android-x86/issues/detail?id=495#c22):
After booting android-x86-4.0-asus_laptop-20120101 (installed on a usb
stick), I start Terminal and enter:
su
chmod -R /data

Hi.

The problem has been identified. It is the 3-tslib script that runs at each boot and change the attributes of the /data directory. A patch has been relased but you have either to build the iso yourself from the source or wait for the next release.
Here is a temporary solution that you should apply at each reboot to make wifi and other apps work :

1- reboot in debug mode
2- once on shell type chmod -R 777 data
3- type exit --> boot process continue
4- type exit (another time)
5- enjoy

Did it work?

[Norbert x]

Now I use android-x86-4.0-asus_laptop-20111209.iso version.
In my previous message I forgot about 777.

Your method does not work. After booting in debug mode (steps 1-5),
WiFi switch in Settings menu become movable, but network list in the
right is clear.
So as a temporary solution I do the folowing:
1. Open Terminal Emulator
2. type su
3. type chmod -R 777 /data.
I do this way on each boot.

I think you method is not working because of init.rc script. May be it
override the 1-5 steps?
I'll try the latest version 20120101.

[O S]

You're right !
the chmod command should be entered in the second shell in my method (after the first 'exit'). The 20120101 build has the same problem since the 3-tslib file was not corrected yet.
I rebuild the iso from fresh sources and now it's ok. However the web navigator still presents some problems.

Wahid.

[Norbert x]

Hello, Wahid!

I tried you method on 20120101 asus_laptop at its fresh state (on
first boot after installation) and on next boots witho no luck. It
seems that init.rc runs after second shell. So the "/data" directory
has rights 771 on entering at graphical mode. As before WiFi switch
become movable, but there are no networks in the list.

I grep'ed the "init.rc" file and discovered that changing rights only
for "data/system/wpa_supplicant/" and "data/misc/wifi/" solves the Wi-
Fi problem. So i'm doing this way:
1. Start Terminal Emulator
2. chmod -R 777 data/system/wpa_supplicant/ data/misc/wifi/


How I can add this line to the script, which will execute on each
graphical boot. Is there ".bashrc" or somethihg? I found /etc/mkshrc
but it is not writable.

[O S]

Hi Norbert,

As you, I tried many methods to make the procedure execute automatically on each boot, but I couldn't succeed.
it's like the init.rc and the 3-tslib.sh files are recreated at each run. so il left this solution and opted for a self build of the iso.

The compilation process is extremely long, and the two builds I made from fresh code (repo sync), solve the problem of wifi connection; but other problems exist, like the browser that doesn't load and most applications crash after the first reboot.

i found that some people are making iso every day from the last patches and codes;
here is the link if you're interested : http://tabletsx86.org/CYNEW-UPDATED-BUILDS.htm

i'm downloading right now the  android-x86-4.0-eeepc-20120222.iso and i'll try it;

I'll tell you if it's ok or not.

Hello!

I just compiled ICS-4.0.3 version from sources at 20120224.
Compilation is no problem for me with i7-920 and 6 Gb RAM.
Almost everything works great:
+ Wi-Fi works at every boot without any hacks;
+ Camera works (but it's upside down, it is known issue -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/T101MT#If_The_Camera_Is_Up-side_Down);
+ Brightness control from GUI works (brightness changes on slider
move);
+ Suspend and wakeup works.

Browser and other apps works without crashes. There is no Android
Market, I don't know how to add it.
You can download it for testing from the link:
https://rapidshare.com/files/1884108854/asus_laptop.iso (MD5 is
94398d2e58a3862d7d024ae63db82767).

Thank you for the link. I also tested android-x86-4.0-
asus_laptop-20120222.iso from tabletsx86, results are similar. No
Market. And no suspend, Terminal Emulator not working.

[Waheed]

Great Job !!!

Guess what ? I tried to compile ICS on my t101mt ... it took me 2
days !!!
(repo + compilation).
but the result is pretty good, so I deleted everything on my other
computer
(Dual core + 2 GO RAM) and I'm restarting everything and trying to add
google apps.

Try to follow this link to add the market and the google account +
setup to
your ICS build :
http://groups.google.com/group/android-x86/browse_thread/thread/d759f...

I tried it but couldn't make the setup run automatically at the first
install (you'll be asked to choose among another application).
i'm gonna work on it a bit this week end, if you succeed to make a
final
image with what is working now + google account and google maket then
let me
know.

Since the kernel is OK now, we should recompile with the existing kernel option (it should be faster).

Hello,

After the installation of android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc.iso, I can't find
my SD card.
Only fake SD is available.

Maybe your Sd detect as USB check in \mnt\USB

If you created fake sdcard, you can't use a real sdcard.
So don't create it unless you have no sdcard.

Hello,

I've installed tegav2_20120101 build on T101MT (1st revision, with N450 on board) and it runs pretty well. Now I'm trying to run the new build RC1 (eeepc, asus_laptop) without installation from SD card and it sticks just after booting. Just a black screen and nothing else. I've also tried tegav2 build - it boots to the OS, but then gets system UI force close.

Can I get any log files to attach them here? 

Thanks!

[O S]

Very good.
I've installed the new release (RC1 eeepc) ... and almost everything is working !
- wifi fixed
- web browser loads correctly
- youtube is working
- apps no more crash after first reboot
- terminal ok ( it  used to show a white screen when i made my own build)

however some minor not blocking issues :
- camera upside down
- phyisical keyboard doesn't switch to azerty (I'm french ) even though the android one did
- and the most annoying one, the screen that doesn't return to the landscape mode after an app turned it up to portrait mode (I had to install from the market the 'Rotation Locker' app to manually restore the correct mode

and does anyone know why the ethernet support has not been included knowing that some patches exist for ics ?
can ADB be used with this release ?

Slide the power button twice and it'll show up the shut down menu.

Yes, as said , to turn off the system, you have to slide twice the power button (the usual menu will then appear).

For wifi, I had no problem at all.

Can you see the wireless networks list?

No more problems with the screen rotation after the first reboot.

[Gia90]

Yes, i can see the network list...and today i managed to connect to
other APs (both wpa and open) so i think it's due to my router
configuration....dmesg shows it tries 3 times direct probes and then
timed out...
maybe some problem with ath9k driver?

I notice my S10-3t does this as well.

It will connect to my neighbors Linksys open router just fine.

But when I try to connect to my phones Wifi Hotspot it will try a couple times but fails.

I tried changing many settings but so far no luck.

Hello, Lee! Please do not flood. We discuss here only T101MT.

@all
I discovered, that brightness control from GUI does not work
(brightness not change on slider move);
in 4.0-RC1 eeepc version. May be asus_laptop does this.

Life without red border is good.

But you can control it anyway with the usual Fn key + F5/F6.

Just mentioning a problem that is similar to this one on the 4.0 builds so maybe the developers can find a connection and fix these issues.

I think that dolphin HD will let you view flash animations, since i
realized that youtube player was loaded by dolphin (even if it
couldn't show the video see here:

Anyone can tell me if this release has NTFS support?
I'm trying to mount my ntfs partition but it seems not to work...mount

Any help?

hi~
what do you mean by slide the power button twice?
it doesn't work when i press the power button twice.
I still cannot shut down my Eeepc901.
It just goes to the lock screen when I pressed the first time quickly.
No pop-out window shows up.
I am using android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc901.
It would be thankful if someone can help.

[Duarte Velez Grilo]

So you have a 901, not a T101mt. The button "slide" is for the latter.

Then, press the power button two times in a row and the shutdown
option should appear. If that doesn't work, then I don't know.

Hi, when your wifi doesn't work, try to turn it on by Fn+?,then open terminal,type su, netcfg wlan0(for example) up, I recompile wireless_tool(add -m32 -static to CFLAGS in the makefile,others see the makefile), copy iwlist iwconfig to your $android_directory/system/bin, it works very well, my reply is so late because i'm new here, I faced the wifi problem with the proper driver,and solved it by this way hope it can help others.

Look for /etc/init.sh and put it in there.
