    I’ve been using  my Hi12 for some time and really appreciate it!

    But there is some minor issue. The build in wifi module is weak and slow thus I’ve bought external (usb-wifi AC) module COMFAST CF-915AC (it is based on Realtek rtl8812au chip). It works great on Windows, but I can not set it up in Android.

    I found sources for this chip on https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au and it seems like it’s Makefile contains support for Android X86. I even tried to compile something (ko-module) using Kernel sources provided in this topic – https://github.com/CM-CHT/android_kernel_intel_cherrytrail/tree/cm-12.1  and android ndk. While the compilation seems to be successful (maybe not), the result module doesn’t run on device (insmod commands errors with certification).

    Is it even possible to run this adapter on Hi12 Android? Can someone help me install it?

    Thanks!
