**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 07 03:00:53 2019 Jul 07 07:31:43 There should be a kernel tree for Android 8.1 somewhere Jul 07 07:40:46 prolly https://github.com/dguidipc/gemini-android-kernel-3.18 Jul 07 09:23:30 Took the Wifi branch for my wifi-only model. took the ramdisk from root_boot.img (indeed a gzipped file), used the mkbootimg command from an earlier version. Jul 07 09:23:39 result: infinite boot loop Jul 07 09:25:23 had to update two config settings when compiling the kernel (one about hardening, one about the newer panel). Perhaps there is a proper .config somewhere for wifi-only gemini? Jul 07 09:25:34 what else could I be doing wrong? Jul 07 09:26:37 (I only want to modify the kernel after I got the Planets kernel booting) Jul 07 09:28:43 what makes an android "rooted"? kernel setting? something in ramdisk? something else? Jul 07 09:35:12 oh, there is also a config file unpacked from the root_boot.img with numbers that are totally different from what I'm using in the mkbootimg command. Also, there is a line with 'id' in there, looks magical enough that it could be what 'roots' my device. Jul 07 09:39:52 no luck (always installing original image in between and see it boot, so I know I am still in a proper (rooted) state) Jul 07 09:45:41 (used abootimg, which I also used to get the ramdisk) Jul 07 09:45:49 it didn't pick up the ID from the config Jul 07 09:58:09 in fact, it is using ms-since-1970 as ID in my self-built image. Which differs a lot from what Planets put in the image. Hm. Jul 07 10:20:38 maybe it does not matter Jul 07 10:21:26 getting a known working .config might be more important. Cannot tell today whether the kernel attempts to boot and fails, or whether it does not even get there. Jul 07 10:45:18 Unlikely that enabling my USB dongle with data-SMS will be easy; even though it works fine under linux. but hey. At least applying the anti-ghosting patch would already be worth it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 08 02:59:58 2019
