[ALPHA 2][B2G] Firefox OS 1.2 by Daredj

[Guest Raquel Ferreira]

i dont know instal by fastboot :| 

[Guest daredj]

I just forked dazz git repo (That's the reason that alpha1 doesn't contain any fix...)

 

Alpha2 will be from my own git repo, and I'll start to push all changes on it ;)

 

Please be patient, I'm still learning how to work with G300 (It has small diferences with galaxy ace, which was my previous rom devs :P)

 

PS: I'm thinking to make a recovery zip... but Until ALPHA stage, it would be better use fastboot...

There is a link in the 3rd post on this page that shows you how to set up ADB, it seems quite easy.

[Guest Raquel Ferreira]

I instal this rom and i like, but mms don't works. 

[Guest daredj]

Well, I have git repo now, you can check it on 1st message

 

Due to some outdates in Dazz sources, i decided fork from main repo (mozilla), now I'm adding all stuff for our device, please be patient ;)

 

Greetings

[Guest plewis1981]

Just 2 quick questions, can I use CWM to do the wipes and also can I use CWM to make a backup once I'm up and running?

I'm diving into this after I finished my current project.

(This will be my first time with B2G and Android development so I have not much expectation to able to move this project forward, but I'll try my best ;) )

Back and menu buttons are not supported on FirefoxOS

Glad to know you're working on it, it's a good OS. Which branch are you using?

 

Never mind, just looked at the manifest.

Welcome to the Non-Android Zone!

 

 

DISCLAIMER:

Alpha Stage: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

 

Your warranty will be void if you proceed on this instalation

Anyway, all goes at your own risk, We are not a technical service, if you brick your phone we can advise you, but we don't take care of any unexpected result (EX: bricked phones).

 

Information:

This is the beggining of the Firefox OS for our Huawei ascend G300.

I started to compile using Dazz sources, and here I'll try to publish new versions and fixes as fast as I can.

 

For "noobs": Firefox OS is a new Operative System for some devices. It's 100% Open Source and that allow us to get our own version running on our device.

Please correct the fastboot command to 'fastboot flash <whatever>'

[Guest daredj]

I think that alpha1 was smoother than this alpha2... Correct me if i am wrong :)

That's why i didn't used DPI correction on first Alpha, but it seems that it's FxOS problem ATM...

[Guest daredj]

Here you are a logcat for big problem: scaling UI

 

something that i noticed, is that camera app doesn't fit preview with g300 resolution, and maybe it's the same problem for HQ youtube videos.

 

A "quick" solution is force the resolution in each app, but it should be a global fix for that

I need some help here... any ideas?

Maybe this can help: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=888121

Or this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=874295

What kernel do you use in this project, the 3.0.8 or the 3.4?

Don't you want to work on FFOS 1.3 instead of 1.2?

I'm using 3.0.x ... maybe it's time to use 3.4 but i wasn't too sure of the change, maybe next build will include it

 

due 1.2 it's "stable" now, I prefeer make it work al 100%, but let's see what happen with this bug...

Can you make the kernel to report proper screen width and height?

Maybe Daz can help you with. Since 160DPI is a fallback when the kernel doesn't provide this info.

Yes i just read that.

 

Maybe 3.4 has that problem fixed, i'll try to compile with that kernel, if bug persist, we must modify that in the kernel

[Guest celrau]

You might get into other problems switching kernels, my advice is to modify the kernel if hardcoding the DPI in nsWindow.cpp isn't sufficient.

I don't know how camera gets the screen size for preview but I'm wondering if you couldn't hardcode some width x height dimensions in camere.js  to  see if that makes any difference. I'd also post on b2g forum the logcat and ask for some clues.

Where is this forum? I would like to take a look at it. :)
