At long last, I finally carved out some time to upgrade my tablet and compile the kernel. It’s available here: http://blog.tan-ce.com/files/4.4.4-kernel/tce-manta-KTU84P.zip

Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you very very much!!! 🙂

My tablet doesn’t rotate anymore, another have this problem?
Edit: I rebooted and now it’s ok!
thanks mate, i was searching for this update for some time !
works perfect 😀

Hi tan ce,
thanks a lot for the kernel! May it is possible to compile the following modules? So a external usb-dvd / usb-cdrom can be used with a nexus 10. 🙂
crc-itu-t.ko
cuse.ko
cdrom.ko
sg.ko
sr_mod.ko
udf.ko
isofs.ko
Hi Frank. I can’t compile those as modules, because according to my kernel configuration file, those modules are already compiled into the kernel… CD-ROMs should work without needing to load any modules.
Hi tan ce,
i’ved tested to insmod your kernel modules manually. But only some of them are working for me – the others can’t be loaded by insmod:
busybox insmod /sdcard/Download/kernel_modules/3.4.39-gd52af31/*.ko
insmod: can’t insert ‘/sdcard/Download/kernel_modules/3.4.39-gd52af31/async_memcpy.ko’: unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter
May there is a bug in the zip-file?
A connected usb-cdrom can be mount with the terminal (Android Termial Emulator), but only in the terminal the files of the cd/dvd are shown, other apps (e.g. Root Explorer) don’t see any files of the cd.
Mounted with that command:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/block/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
May you have any suggestions?
I’ll need to check the build for your first question.
For your second question, you’re running into the SELinux protection issues. One way is to use an app to set SELinux to permissive mode when you want to use a CD-ROM. Do note that you will essentially be disabling some of the protections Android is trying to give you by doing this. If you want to carry on anyway, the app I use is called “SELinux Mode Changer” by Pavel Sikun.
Same problem with changed SELinux mode. The directory /mnt/cdrom is always empty for other apps than terminal. Changed the system read/write status and the file permissions with “Root Explorer” and the Terminal – still the same. 🙁
Is there a special trick to mount an device and make is usable for other apps? May Android don’t recognize the iso filesystem?
I’m not sure if this would work, but have you tried using an adb root shell to mount the CD-ROM? Which superuser are you using?
No, i mount it with an terminal app. Superuserapp is SuperSU v2.01 from Chainfire.
In a log (with dmesgin terminal) i found that selinux is not configured for labeling.
May the battery from the Nexus really is loading with usb-cdrom (with external power) and picoplug connected – the battery stand always at 100%…

Ok, it’s been a while, but I think I remember something like this back when I was still using SuperSU. (I haven’t been using su for my root shell in a long time now.)
The general idea is that Android started using Linux namespaces so that one application cannot inadvertently (or maliciously) modify the filesystem in a way that affects another application. One early workaround was to mount whatever you needed from an adb shell, because adb root shell creates mountpoints that are visible by all namespaces by default.
It is possible to use ADB (over a local TCP connection) to connect to your tablet from your tablet.
Just did some searching, this might be what you need:
http://su.chainfire.eu/#how-mount
tan-ce, you are absolutly right.
That trick mount the cdrom (dvd-rom) and make it readable for other apps (Root Explorer).
So i did it with an terminal app:
su –mount-master
mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/block/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
Thanks a lot!!!
But there is another thing. With a connected usb-dvd-rom (with external power) and a pogo-plug, the battery will be loaded – it stands at 100% up to houres while watching dvd.
So, the kernel load the battery in host mode with my connected usb dvd-rom. 😉
sorry, the su command should be:
su –mount-master
(2x “-” in front of) mount-master.
Hi!
Can you please list changes done to kernel except enabling of modules load.
Or attach diff-files of sources.
Thank you!
Hi Oleh. There were no source code changes, I only “mucked around” in the configuration menu (make menuconfig). This zip file contains two text files – one is the .config file I used to compile this kernel, and the other is the default .config generated when you do a “make manta_defconfig”.
You could do a diff of the two to see what config options were changed. I believe the config file has not changed in the last 3 or 4 versions of android, even though the kernel has changed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot. That helped a lot, except that I expected to find the only difference in enabling loading of modules. I’ve found a lot of differences not understandable to newbie.
Hope all of them correspond to configuration for devices, modules and filesystems and none to android performance except few in “# CPU Frequency scaling”.
Maybe this will help you, these is a description of the configuration settings that aren’t drivers or filesystem support:
Line 52: Added default hostname
Line 86-87: Added saving of .config contents inside the kernel
Line 178-183: Enabled loadable modules
Line 588, 590, 592: Enabled additional CPU frequency governors
Line 684 ~ 711, 744: Additional TCP/IP features
Line 796, 827, 841, 910-919: Additional netfilter filters
Line 744, 926, 932-937, 939: Ethernet bridging and VLAN support
Line 942: Support for esoteric network layer support (eg. Token ring, etc)
Line 957 ~ 968, 984: Support for network queue disciplines, used for traffic shaping.
Note that for CPU scaling, the governors are available but are not going to be used unless you tell the kernel to use it, using an app like SetCPU.
Thank you for perfect job! Highly appreciate!
It would be nice to have done the same for Nexus 7 wifi 2nd gen. It is more spread tablet – more people will be grateful. And I have both nexuses 😉
I guess for that reason a lot of users use custom kernels like ElementalX or franco.Kernel, but I’ve seen a lot of unsuccessful posts on not working modems.
I tried once, but since I don’t actually have a Nexus 7, I was “flying blind”. It should have been a straightforward kernel compile, but I was told it caused boot loops, so I gave up on trying to compile for the Nexus 7.
Ok, Android 5.0 is out for the Nexus10 (factory image). May there be a version of a (rooted) bootloader with a new kernel? 🙂
Just started updating last night. I’ve a build, but the kernel version changed, so the old config file had to be changed. Perhaps you can try it out and let me know whether I got all the modules you need for the 3G dongle?
tce-manta-LRX21P.zip
Meanwhile, I’ll be mucking around with pts-multi and superuser since Lolipop now requires all native binaries to be position independent.
Hi,
Android 5.0.1 is out. Can the kernel/boot image be used for the new version?
Hi, will there a new version of the kernel for Android 5.0.2?
Hi,
Android 5.1 for the Nexus10 is out. Will there be future versions of your kernel?
Thanks
Hi Frank. I no longer have my Nexus 10, but if you’re willing to test the kernel builds, I don’t mind making them over the weekend.
By the way, how did you get around the selinux issues?
Hi,
i found an app to switch between the different selinux modi: Selinuxmodechanger
So selinux is changed to permissive if it makes any problems… So i also managed to install a linux with the debian-kit additional to android.
I would test the kernel, if you be so kind to compile it.
Thanks a lot
Frank
