[Driver] Asix AX88772 kernel module (USB Ethernet) for Xperia Tablet Z

Hi,
This is my first post so let me know if there is anything missing...
Based on this thread dedicated to the Galaxy S III, I managed to build the kernel module for the USB Ethernet adaptator for the Xperia Z tablet.
It was not that easy for me, so if other are interested, here is the precompiled file for the stock ROM 10.3.1.C.0.136 (4.2.2).
(I also built it for the Xperia Z ROM 10.3.1.A.2.67, feel free to ask for it)
For any instructions how to use this file, please see the thread linked below in the Galaxy S II forum, it works the same for the Xperia Tablet Z.

Hi,
finally I got in to work in my xperia ion ics stock kernel .But the problem is as per this post slideshare.net/gxben/elce-2012-dive-into-android-networking-adding-ethernet-connectivity Many apps based on java framework will rely on connectivity manager, they do not recognize the connection. An ecm patch was already ported to android x86. But if such a patch is made for arm based phones and tablets one could flash a custom kernel to make it work.Installing a kernel is not that much easy for an average android user like me. With a locked bootloader is it possible?.If such a patch exists for arm phones.

Hi, KrisTouF!
Thank you for your work and could you please share usbnet.ko too.
And two more questions:
which adaptоr do you use and should these files work with all adaptors or only with yours?

[ROM][FirefoxOS][DISCUSSION] NEW for Z3C!!!

hi guys, I see there are still no threads for FirefoxOS that has been just released by FXP for our device too (z3c) so I'm creating one
this thread just to discuss about it!
INFO: http://fxpblog.co/2015/09/26/firefox-os-releases-by-fxp.html
DOWNLOADS: http://fxpblog.co/firefox/nightly/
INSTALLATION:
- You must have a UNLOCKED BL
- Extract all system images from the ARIES zip you downloaded
- Connect phone to PC in fastboot mode and then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
downloading the zip for aries right now! will see how it goes
in the meantime, I have already some questions I would like to reply myself after testing the new OS or if somebody already knows the answers, please let me know!
1. rootable? DON'T THINK SO
2. recovery can be installed or to go back to stock will have to flash FTF via flashtool? SEEMS NO RECOVERY AT ALL?!
3. camera present/working? if so, without fish eye bug? CAMERA NOT WORKING AT ALL
4. gapps are needed? in firefox OS there is no Play Store right? NO GAPS, THERE IS MOZILLA MARKETPLACE WITH FEW STUFF STILL OF COURSE
Please contribute guys in answering all the above questions!
THANKS
All credits to Mozilla and FXP ( @freexperia ) teams of course!

few impressions so far:
the bad:
- no camera
- no dt2w
- no extsd support (where I have all my stuff!)
the good:
- seems very nice and promising
- app ops
- nice animations
will keep updating!

Really interested to try this once it's fully functional. Thanks for the heads up!

Unlocked bootloader for sure, since you must flash boot.img
Our device is ARIES, if someone doesn't know yet
Testing today...

me too just unlocked the BL!
EDIT: just booted inside FirefoxOS for my first time

things I noticed so far:
see OP

First impressions:
-only English language.. mmmhhh.. and the keyboard is only in english
-you can import your contacts also from gmail... ok.. that's good
-there's a tutorial at the beginning that explains how it works :victory:
-camera just doesn't work (the camera is in use by another app) !!??!!
-some popular apps ready to install... ok, fine!
-to take screenshots you have to press home+power... but I can't get it :crying:
-settings menu is like a hybrid between android and ios
-all the gestures work properly and are different from android, but they're friendly :good:
-the phone is getting very hot now
-arrrgghhh.... force close... the phone rebooted automatically :crying:

yes for sure not ready for daily driver, but seems very nice
for screenshots I just used android normal gesture (power + vol down)
no recovery right? will have to flash FTF to go back to stock?
phone is not hot at all here so far

Problem with camera is in HAL. Logcat... logcat.
In AOSP builds there is no camera, this is the cause.

Seems problem has been solved. Waiting for new build from fxp team then
https://t.co/XGZ6c75N0X

it seems very very basic and not ready for daily use but well better than nothing..! let's see

xperia z3c fxos
right now the bug for the camera on the lollipop build is being worked on, as far as i can find in our bug reports the kk build camera should be working or it would be under QA-blocker. Also for some of the problems you are having such as only english when building make sure to put PRODUCTION=1 it will make it so it flashes all of the languages, that just has to do with not setting the right build variables.

not sure to understand correctly, you mean there is a firefoxos version based on kk for z3c with working camera? where?
because it seems I can find only the lp build in fxp site... thanks! :silly:

i just double checked with of the devs, The aires device, you can build the kk version which does have a working camera, you just have to compile it yourself. The lp build currently available on task cluster does not have the working camera, in all honesty the lp kernal version is not fully complete yet, right now the camera is one of those parts that are not fully complete. if you want to take a look the bug number is 1163557 you have to go to bugzilla.mozilla.org it might help explain the situation. right now lp is experimental.

thanks mate, will do! and thanks also for the info, it is nice someone from firefoxos project directly is looking around here and share info with us!
unfortunately i'm not skilled enough for building myself, so can just wait for fxp team to build them for us.
afaik devs are working on updated/fixed camera blobs for lp as we speak, so we could have a decent camera available for aosp soon, in that case hope it will land in firefox os too
really looking forward for a usable build of firefoxos for our device, it seems a very nice project... i like firefox, i like opensource, i don't like google at all recently... so hope to find in fxos soon a great alternative! :good: :fingers-crossed:

come end of next week i might be able to get you a kk build, i cant say for 100% due to moz is giving me mine next week. If it comes with a KK kernal on it i can see if I can make you one, i dont think it is under nda for the blobs for kk, im not sure 100% though. i just know for the flame device im not allowed to give out builds that have not gone through approval from t2mobile as distributable.

By the time you get it back i hope that i will already have a working build for you.
Also people, if the base image you are using is gotten from mozilla its a 99% chance its rooted, they are left unlocked for testing and development reasons, the only time they are locked usually is when you are getting them from the phone manufacturer also know as a production build, which we do not make.

Okay i have looked into it, the only way i can make you a base image is if it is blib free so you would have to get the blobs from Sony. The blobs are currently under nda so there is no way i can share them without getting in trouble. The only way it seems you could get the kk build with a working camera is if you flash back to android and then get the blobs from the device and then from there you would have to add them to the blob free base image.

The project got already discontinued by Mozilla because the not given chance to get close to Android, iOS or WIP
Maybe with a hardboot kernel it could be saved as a stable, second OS with Multirom...

Do you want to stay on MM? There's a good drm fix mod available for O right now, but I've never tried on MM. Not sure what's available...

If you want to stay on MM, you can try some of the early versions of genesis kernel. (version 1.03 should work, I think, can't remember exactly. :/)
The other option is to extract kernel.elf and run it through rootkernel and apply drm fix.
For more info search and read, there are plenty of guides.

Can I use DRM fix (and keep camera quality) on custom ROM (OmniROM 8 or 9)? If so, which one?
Or is it possible only for stock based ROMs?

Good question. I am in this exact situation:
I am on the latest Omni Rom, android 8.
Camera quality is really crappy now.
Did you find a solution?

@rancor187 I haven't tested anything until now but I feel more and more motivated to do so.

Does anyone try drm fix on x compact japan version ?

I hope this will be good for you.
And if any have a better internet connection and want to work with me, Please PM me !

Hi thanks you,
At moment of write we have problem with sync specific z3

Hi @Thomgeek
Will there be support for Z3 Dual (D6633)?
Thanks for the wonderful job you're doing for our great Z3. Good luck.

Hi,
At that moment we don't know that but it could be added

Official discord openned : https://discord.gg/aEQuEn

NICE !!!
Thanks so much, but please don't forget about the dual sim version D6633

I hope you can build it for xperia z2 too
we knew that z2 and z3 boarda are identic ?

Good news. Hope z3c users like me will also get it but there is not that much developers on z3c

Does anyone have a download link for an Android 9 ROM for the Z3?

@Thomgeek Any news?

Discord Link expired
Hey @Thomgeek, that Discord link you sent seems to have expired. Any chance you can post a new one (and set it to never expire)? Would like to get onboard as tester/bugreporter, can probably try a bit with the code as well, but no expert in ROM dev right now.

any news?

SP kitkat xperia firmware

Hi, there are still people who are interested in KK xperia firmware for SP? A few months ago, I started developing firmware with all the chips of stock xperia 4.4, baced on last cm11 for LB by bagyusz, now it is not worse than xperia ovelay, there are even stamina and color themes in it, at the same time, most cyanogenmod chips are saved. I want to know your opinion, is it worth whether to continue updating it or the xperia KK is no longer interesting to anyone?
Firmware is here

now stock music beat also works
