Hi! In this mail, I'll summarise the status of my current attempts at running non-android distros on Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) so that anyone interested in running a traditional distro can join.
First, I've put up the kernel repository at https://gitorious.org/i9100-proper-linux/i9100-proper-linux-kernel the main branch is cm9_gnu which contains the linux 3.0.29 kernel adapted for booting linux rootfs from mmcblk1p2 (external microsd). There is also the linaro_33 branch, but that one has very basic hardware support (display, wifi, bluetooth, mmc/microsd, usb, sound, touchscreen, rear camera, but no hdmi, no sensors and suspend is broken) Next, there is the u-boot port. U-boot is chainloaded from the samsung bootloader. It can boot android (and linux kernel, if you hardcode the cmdline) from the recovery partition. It can also boot custom kernels with custom boot scripts from the internal emmc partition (the 12g one which is called sdcard in android). https://gitorious.org/i9100-proper-linux/i9100-uboot pre-compiled binaries and usage instructions are described in my post at xda-developers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680898 My aim is to get ubuntu running on this piece of hardware, but the intermediate step is getting SHR running and adding the support to FSO. I'm attaching alsa config files for Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) for headset and speaker. Right now I'm still preparing the proper patch for the fso containing configs for fsousaged, but I've decided to post these because sound is tricky with the mc1n2 sound codec driver. The tricky thing about the codec driver is that any multimedia application will block and no sound will be played until you enable the appropriate DAPM widgets. The bare minimum is Enable SPR Dac Switch and SPL Dac Switch Set DACMAIN SRC to 2 Raise DAC Playback Volume and Speaker Playback Volume -- Regards, Alexander
