MCZQ, I'm having some wicked sick reboot to recovery woes with my savagely mangled version of tilal6991's excellent skate work. Is this something you had to fight, or does it sound like I have made an exciting new mistake?

Edited because port makes me type like the least successful of the infinite monkeys with typewriters.

Sounds like you still have the skates kernel/boot.img

Just wondering if you guys want to work from source or want to continue making binary mods?

If your sharing the source that would be great please do!

Quite possible. I've been looking at so many things at once recently that I'm starting to get a little addled.

Source is preferable. I like to be able to glare myopically at code until I see an avenue of attack. I get to learn all sorts of handy things when I break some source code badly.

As things currently stand I've snarfed your device config from github and gone through it with a (pretty knackered, and with chunks missing) fine toothed comb to convert it. Unfortunately I've yet to produce a build which boots. Admittedly that's progress though - this time yesterday I still couldn't get a build to finish.

What I'm planning on doing is making a common repo for configuration which is the same across all the devices and then have individual repos for individual devices which contain only the options relevant to that device. I'll put it up on the weekend.

Top Idea, just out of interest, how much crossover is there in the code for all these ZTE phones? Cos they all seem to share the same family of CPU and GPU, the other stuff must be quite close.

A lot. Pretty much most code is cross compatible.

[Fuzzra]

Yup. Vast amounts of the phone configs derive from the same bases. The awkward bit seems to come in finding exactly what has to be different.

[Titas]

Great effort guys.  Exciting to think that there is now a real chance that this could be on our Crescents soon. :-)  Sorry I don't know the 'under the hood ' stuff but wanted to cheer you on from the sidelines

So, to be honest it would have been quite easy for ZTE to give us an upgrade? Most other manufacturers seem to be retroactively upgrading their phones to ICS.

New build up!



Lalit,  I hate to keep asking but now that you have released the new build on Skate could you give us an update on when we might get a version for the Crescent........... pleeeeez?  

[tilal6991]

I've spoken to psychokilla and I've promised that work starts on Thursday. Would you like to be another tester?

[MCZQ]

Ill try and get a booting port of tilal's ICS and MIUI Skate ROMS asap Downloading them now.

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

I'm gonna test Lalit's ICS and MIUI port on the San Fran 2, if you can do the same on the vivacity Titas, then we can cover both phones

[Titas]

Good to hear that things were progressing behind the scenes.  Happy to test on TMV (tho I have no expertise).
Let me know if you need any information.   :-)

I would suggest grabbing this from the market :

https://market.andro...GIuYWxvZ2NhdCJd

This will allow you to collect logs and send them to Lalit for debug purposes.

[jasonleeds]

Great work, just get one on here start getting feedback.
Im willing to give it a whirl let you know bugs and stuffs, im not great but im sure if you let me know what you need n how to get it i can sort it out.

I always feel the more people you have helping the better no matter how small their role is.

Top work though guys. keep it up!¬

[MCZQ]

Ok guys, New links up For both Sanfrancisco II and Vivaicty.

Can someone please tell me if the touchscreen works on the Sanfran2?

Cheers

Thanks!!  Booted on TMV in 3 mins.  2mins in & no problems lol.  First impression - Wow- lookin good!   Will nose around & get aquainted a little better.  Woohooo! Look out ICS - here we come .

UPDATE -  So far working =   Wifi, Market, Gmail, Browser, Messaging, People, Gallery, News&Weather, Voice Dialler,

                        Not working =  Camera, Calculator (installed one from Market which is better anyway), Calendar (  Configuration screen - "Couldn't open connection to Server")

Some apps freeze / cause reboot on 1st opening but seem stable subsequently.  Otherwise just one unexpected system reboot so far.

Just chucked this on my San Fran, and from initial outset, touchscreen looks good.
Can't spot any alignment issues as of yet.
