This is a port of the ICS SDK15 version (4.0.3)


you can follow my work on GIT or TWITTER


the port is at 25%

what works:

• sensors
• adreno accel. hw (95%)
• touchscreen
• bluetooth
• more..

After editing ADRENO drivers  I managed to get 3D acceleration, I have yet to resolve some bugs but the bulk is done for now


UPDATE
I finished editing the KGSL drivers, but not work now because I have to edit also PowerMenager (pm). When I will have finished the edits the GPU should  obtain the best performace on ICS.








THANKS

TechnoLover for the kernel source that I'm basing my work.

[hfbvm]

Vache has already tries that out/ You get icecream sandwich but no multi touch. also it acts like you are operating it with a mouse.

Guys,
I'm like a Programmer, i know from java to vb(or even python) i know that the kernels are written in C? Well at least that's what i thought it was, if you guys need a hand, would love to help since i'm also a Liquid Metal Owner.
Thanks

In that tutorial you can import the ics for your computer onto your mobile. which is pretty useless. As i guess you wont be able to call or anything etc. Wi-Fi might work though.

I'm trying with the same method to port the ROM Virtuoso but definitely something  i wrong because it does not start.
What are the exact steps?



Now I want to try this with TechnoLover's Kernel for CM7.

[hfbvm]

It is a ROM. You will need to flash the bin file of desire Z and then install the ROM. (If i am right) Which means you are on the way to brickign your phone.

[superandrex]

UPDATE:

I managed to create a zip of the ROM  with custom build.prop;
for the boot i have modified TechnoLover's Kernel (editing  init.rc).
Finally I made these steps:

• restored stock rom
• full wipe
• flash ROM.zip
• flash custom  TechnoLover's Kernel for CM

Now when start android, its restart into recovery at finish kernel load.
What could be the problem?

Read this post : http://android.modac...ost__p__1608930

The 8- How to port a ROM for the Liquid Thing

These files MUST be copied if you want to port any other mobile's ROM. desire Z in this case. It will work then.

I had already done those steps. Seems a problem of the framework or some apk, I had already had to deal with a similar problem.
If you want to try  I can up the zip files.


ps
sorry for my english, i'm italian.

[hfbvm]

Yup share it. Let me try too.


in case the mobile bricks we use NVFlash right?

Would flashing gapps do the trick? Because they are also telling to flash gapps afterwards

If your zip is rebooting into recovery so maybe you need to try to assemble with deploy 1 or 0 (i dont know which one you have used then assemble boot.img with changed init.rc).
Anyway can you make a logcat of booting and paste it on pastebin.com for example to see what is wrong?

[superandrex]

I solved the reboot at start, but now boot hangs on kernel splash.
watch the logcat.

Maybe you should Re flash Default ROM. Full wipe. Then flash your ROM.zip . Ignore technolovers mod for now. After the base starts working we could try using that.

I built the ZIP basing it entirely on stock ROM (included boot.img); fixed some errors but now I'm stuck, boot hangs however.
Mainly in dmsg:

request_suspend_state: wakeup (0->0) at 11273801337 (2012-02-08 02:01:28.898742884 UTC) pid=1

while logcat

02-08 02:02:58.656: I/dun_service(103): The value returned from dun_getusbmodemstate_fromsys is 2 

see entire logcat and dmsg

To begin, the best way is to use the Desire Z ROM as it is, with the MT kernel. Then step by step try to fix issues and add files when missing.
For now, you should not replace any file.

I don't see anything that could help in dmesg nor logcat.

Desire  Z ROM is too "disordered," it takes too long to remove the unnecessary parts.
Since most of  dev is doing the porting the SDK image also  I decided to take that direction and in fact I got the expected results after setting the EGL libs and others ICS was started without problems

Boot is fast, but I managed to configure the touch screen only partially. Finished  I will start to fix the rest. For touchscreen should I configure the file "/system/usr/idc/cypress-ts.idc" or cypress-ts.c in the kernel source.
Who helps me?


ps

tomorrow if I have time I will upload  ZIP file.
