Fairphone 2 AOSP 5.1 build debugging

Download https://private.z3ntu.xyz/fairphone/AOSP_5.1.1_build_blobfree.zip

Flash it in the recovery (also run all adb commands in the recovery, my/stock TWRP build from https://private.z3ntu.xyz/fairphone/TWRP_3.0.2-0.img works pretty well as adb is fixed)

Boot -> adb shell -> "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: library "libNimsWrap.so" not found" (not even adb shell works without that library)

(from the folder vendor/qcom/proprietary/target/product/FP2/system from the FP Open 16.10 blobs)

fdt/dtb(I think they're synonyms) are just the default devicetree stuff for booting a kernel on ARM. but the thing is that a fdt is ONE fdt, and as you may know there are usually tons of them for all inds of hardware variants and the bootloader has to select the correct one

and there are two methods: appendet fst, where all fdt's are appended next to each other behind the kernel image

and qcdt, where all fdt's are packed together in a dt.img and indexed so the bootloader doesn't have to parse them to find the correct id's

Huge thanks to @m1cha for explaining this to me on Slack (I corrected some minor spelling mistakes)

KDE 1 on Arch Linux

This is a short guide on how to install KDE 1 on Arch Linux.

Install qt1-git, kde1-kdelibs-git & kde1-kdebase-git from the AUR. Extra applications are avaiable in kde1-kdenetwork-git, kde1-kdetoys-git, kde1-kdegames-git and kde1-kdeutils-git. You also have to have xorg-server & xorg-xinit installed. I have not tested KDE1 with a login manager (like sddm) so I can't help you with that.

Edit ~/.xinitrc and add the following lines

export PATH=/opt/kde1/bin:$PATH

Offset	Type	Description
0x00	char[4]	String "BRES" in ASCII (42 52 45 53)
0x04	u16	Byte order mark (BOM) apparently. 0xFE,0xFF for little endian
0x06	u16	Padding //(usually 0x0000)?
0x08	u32	3C 00 00 00
0x0c	u16	Length of file in bytes.
0x0e	?	?
Beginning with 0x0e there are alternating 2 bytes 0x0000 and some kind of u16 value which is mostly just incrementation...
