It's actually currently built using my "ics-b8xx" props and the 109808 RIL implementation, so if anyone is on B8xx the RIL might actually work.

Probably not though.

great news thanks , do you think you could make or hack  the UI acceleration in cm10? it would be much smoother i think

[Davidoff59]

Would we need to downgrade first or will it be ok to test with the newer baseband ?

It's not just a "it's not done, now it is" kind of thing. Jelly Bean is complicated. You don't need to educate me about the benefits of UI acceleration.

Either way it probably won't work.

Or are you under the assumption that the baseband version has a larger effect outside of RIL tasks? It doesn't.

Edit: adding CPU governors now.

[timfimjim]

Sounds like progress! Thanks for your hard work Dazzozo I will have a play when I'm back in England!

Edit: I'm guessing no point telling you about bugs as it's such a young build..?

Not unless you can do your own investigation in to the problem. There's a lot to be done and practically everything will have to be looked at at some point.

Edit: for example, someone will report audio isn't working. I know, I intentionally disabled it as it's currently not compiling and needs to be redone.

Edit 2: CPU governors are working. Pushing it to github in a sec

Edit 3: https://github.com/D...7a30898ee92c1d4 done, I should write a diary or something

I couldn't boot with your jelly-bean build. It keeps forever with the Huawei logo...

did factory reset and wiped cache

[anything-but]

Boots up fine,i`d say it was a tad quicker than CM9 just now.

Keep your diary here

Wipe -> reboot -> flash.

Recovery is a bit buggered for some reason and doesn't flash properly after a wipe.

Is there anything in particular you need tested? I know my way around Linux a bit, I have a bag of smoke and a night to kill. More than willing to offer my help if there's any grunt work you need doing.

It's a little hard to have a play around considering USB is completely dead besides charging, but I'm going to be trying to implement overclocking in a mo. I could share that for testing if it's successful.

Finally some good news thanks daz

[Dazzozo]

This is surprisingly a pretty rare SoC. MSM7x27 was used to death in loads of devices, but the 7x27A I can only actually spot in another device that actually has custom ROMs and such, which is the GT-S7500.

I tried their overclock method and got the same results they have. It apparently works, though you can't really tell. I do seem to crash occasionally at around 1.4GHz and they did too - they ultimately locked the max at 1.2GHz.

Strange. I wouldn't be surprised if this phone doesn't ever really gain much from overclocking. Not that it would need it if we had a ROM which fully works but anyway.

I'm going to try it on 1.2GHz and see what happens, might be worth talking to the GT-S7500 guys. The majority of phones with 7x27As are unreleased or Windows Phone.

Next priority is actually making USB useful. It can only charge from it at the moment. I have no idea how something like that broke but it's really, really hard trying to fix things or get any information out of the device at all with no logs.

Edit: I think I fixed the logging mess that Huawei insist on causing. I can't test right now as USB is completely dead obviously. Now, if you'll excuse me, It's 3:46am and I need to "hibernate".

thanks for your efforts daz

Are you overclocked too? jejeje
that looks you are a genius or these its so easy! but you run so fast! Please keep going!
Great Works!

by christmas then.

The way they word that - it's as if they believe it has an accelerated UI already.

Yeah this upgrade is seriously taking the urine. I would've expected reasonably to have seen a Jelly Bean upgrade within a month or two.
