Sorting out ARM compiler then yes, then it'll be off. i said this hours ago i know, but theres been epic software overlaps.

i will keep you informed via PM tilal

EDIT:would help if Googles NDK wasn't so, crap. :|

What is MSM7x27A?

pdadb.net knows MSM7227T and MSM7627T. They are newer generation than MSM7627, bit still use armv6

Qualcomm Unveils New Snapdragon Mobile Processors Across All Tiers of Smartphones and Tablets

NEW YORK – November 16, 2011 – Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) announced today the expansion of its Snapdragon S4 class of next-generation mobile processors and the enhancement of its Snapdragon S1 solutions for entry-level smartphones.

The addition of new Snapdragon S4 processors, which are aimed at lowering design, engineering and inventory costs while bringing leading-edge 3G and 4G Internet connection speeds, will allow OEMs to introduce S4-based devices with next-generation mobile architecture throughout their respective device roadmaps-from basic smartphones to high-end smartphones and tablets. The enhanced S4 processors are also optimized for use with a suite of software solutions available from Qualcomm that help enable OEMs to deliver industry-leading feature sets for multimedia, connectivity, camera, display, security, power management, browsing and natural user interface design.

The Krait CPU is the next generation of Qualcomm's micro architecture and is purpose-built from the ground up for significant mobile performance and power management advantages leading to enhanced user experience and better battery life. The Krait CPU is an essential part of the Snapdragon S4 class of processors. Today, Qualcomm announced several new S4 chipsets, including the MSM8660A, MSM8260A, MSM8630, MSM8230, MSM8627, MSM8227, APQ8060A and APQ8030. These are additional chipsets to the previously announced MSM8960, MSM8930 and APQ8064. Snapdragon S4 MSM processors include Qualcomm's leading-edge wireless modem technologies, including EV-DO, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, LTE FDD, LTE TDD and Wi-Fi® standards. Devices based on Snapdragon S4 processors are expected to appear in early 2012.

The Snapdragon S1 product line is driving smartphone growth in all regions, and it offers a significant opportunity for market expansion and migration to 3G. To further this trend, Qualcomm is also announcing an upgrade to four of its existing Snapdragon S1 mobile processors. The MSM7225A, MSM7625A, MSM7227A and MSM7627A have been upgraded to deliver better performance and will enable new mobile experiences for entry-level smartphone users, particularly those transitioning from 2G to 3G.

"Qualcomm is innovating on all fronts and continues to lead the mobile computing era with its roadmap depth, breadth and software support," said Cristiano Amon, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm. "Our next-generation hardware, optimized for use with our software suite, facilitates best-in-class performance and power for every smart device segment, from mass-market smartphones to high-performance tablets."

Qualcomm Snapdragon processors are classified by the S1, S2, S3 and S4 generations of products. The S1 class is meant for entry-level smartphones; the S2 class for high-performance smartphones and tablets; the S3 class for multi-tasking and advanced gaming; and the S4 class for next-generation devices.

Not here to spoil your party guys but you really should know this. MSM7x27A != MSM7x27, the latter is in our devices. The first is a upgraded version of our chip and with upgraded i mean everything is different. There's an armv7 chip in it, the adreno200 got upgraded, its just very different. There is no single work done by CAF on msm7x27 regarding the kernel, they made 3-4 commits on the device tree however. Also there is no manifest file for the x27.

But for getting that kernel to work is one heck of a job, even get a aurora kernel ported to zte hasn't been successfully done by anyone. ZTE made a real real real mess of it, its already very hard to understand the modifications they made to the kernel, they made a chaos of it. Threw around pieces of codes, changed ordering of structs..

But then again, that makes the fun of pulling it off only better. Its true that to be able to use the more newer drivers that interface with ICS, its very dependent on the kernel.

The whole point of MSM7227A is that its 100% compatible with MSM7227 (even down to the pin level) and instruction support (e.g OABI etc)

Should be able to run skate stuff unchanged on it if you can manage to replace the SoC. (Not that you would want to).

Also afaict

The Zte Star is what you get if you change the OSF2 SoC to the MSM7227A one.
