[CUSTOM KERNEL] UPDATED DRIVERS FOR RTL8723BE & OTHERS!

[Francesco Sganga]

Hi, I successfully built the remix os kernel (thanks to jide) updating rtlwifi drivers (thanks to lwfinger).

UPDATED DRIVERS FOR THESE WIFI CARDS:

RTL8188EE
RTL8192DE
RTL8723BE
RTL8192C
RTL8192EE
RTL8821AE
RTL8192CE
RTL8192SE
RTL8192CU
RTL8723AE

I also tried to update alps drivers for my synaptics touchpad (right click doesn't work)

Here's DOWNLOAD LINK

I hope it will helps you.

Can u add or compile opengl es 3 extension for radeon card, cause remix is only use opengles 2 extension from latest radeon mesa driver that support for opengles 3

[hypot...@gmail.com]

Those are all included with stock and as you haven't included the modules the stock ones are being used (kinda surprised that there wasn't a vermagic mismatch with then but I guess they could be forced)

[Francesco Sganga]

I don't want to do Jide's work, because I'm not a programmer. This was my first kernel compiling. I compiled it only for rtl's users.

[Francesco Sganga]

I replaced them with updated one.

I never said rtl's drivers aren't in stock, I simply updated them.

[hypot...@gmail.com]

Sorry wasn't meaning to come across that way, just thought I should point it out.

To clarify (fix):

Check your rtl module with "modinfo 8*****" and you'll see it's still using stock.

On linux if you run "make modules_install"
and copy the /lib/modules/4.4.2-* folder (ignore the symlinks errors) to RemixOS /lib/modules - they should work.

Alternatively (pretty sure it would work) - run "modinfo *" on your module to check for dependencies - then find/copy/replace the relevent .kos (i.e. drivers/net/wireless/realtek/...)

[Francesco Sganga]

How you see it's still using stock using modinfo 8****** ?

i.e.
This is what i get from 'modinfo 8723bu'

I think stock/lwfinger might report different author/version

Here's my modinfo rtlwifi

The really confirmation that drivers are updated is ... i never had disconnected from my wireless network.

Sorry again for my bad english.

What\s the proper way to apply it? Just replace the kernel file in the remixos? If so, it still doesn't work on my hp stream 11 rtl8723be, any ideas?

[Jordan Thompson]

Awesome! Now if someone can compile proper HDMI drivers. It's weird how any other android device works on my monitor buy Remix. Drives me nuts. Gotta plug in headphones.

[hypot...@gmail.com]

Yea thats the same srcversion I get on 'stock' (stock + rtl8723bu added).

I'm compiling a version with lwfinger's rtlwifi_new on RemixOS via Ubuntu chroot at the minute, will post when done...

[Francesco Sganga]

the custom kernel I posted in this topic is RemixOS with lwfinger's rtlwifi_new!

[Francesco Sganga]

Yeah, replace or add and change boot linux string.. Mmmh, I have HP Stream 13 with RTL8723BE and It worked perfectly now...

[hypot...@gmail.com]

Here's the kernel/modules if anyone ones to give it a try - just replace kernel; add folder to /system/lib/modules/ and run commands in perm.sh to set permissions.
I did compile with a custom defconfig; so there may be a needed config that was removed - if needed I'll recompile a more generic version; but more likely when/if they release the 4.4.5 kernel source (031516 update).

4.4.2 RTLWIFI_NEW

[Just vaLntin]

I have stream 11, and the kernel didn't work for me :( any ideas ?

[deepak...@gmail.com]

[berrut...@gmail.com]

[Just vaLntin]

Is the kernel for the 32bit or 64 bit android?

[card...@gmail.com]

[cesa...@msn.com]

[amlamana...@gmail.com]

I need these one too. I'm looking for a way to build my own kernel

[Angeel Huentemil]

My wifi works fine but my touchpad dont (right click doesn't work neither), its safe if I install this kernel? I mean, I wont have problems with wifi?

[Evan Langlois]

Can you give me a link to your sources or where you got the sources?  I'd rather compile my own.

[hypot...@gmail.com]

Jide's source is here: https://github.com/JideTechnology/remixos-kernel/tree/jide_x86_marshmallow_kernel-4.4
or you could also use Androidx86's especially if you want to try a 4.8 linux

[berrut...@gmail.com]

RTL8188eu can anyone help me with that card? I have the drivers disk. This version of the link router (RTL8188eu) doesn't work.
