[25-12] TripNiCE S008B - IceCream Sandwich 4.0.1 | BETA 008

[Guest yoogie]

Hey Trip, here is another interesting thing. There is a project which wants to bring Android to x86. They want to use the Linux mesa lib for 3D acceleration and have a branch to adapt it to ICS.

Here is the commit list, hopefully it helps: http://git.android-x...s/heads/ics-x86

Aaaand this one came from the HD2 thread over at XDA (all credits to antuch).

Explained how to hack for EGL - updated as much as

1. You need rights *.so adreno200. Not all *.so worked with ICS. You can try from my build.

2. You should patch these files:

DisplayHardware.cpp - selectConfigForPixelFormat

SurfaceFlinger.cpp - SurfaceFlinger::createNormalSurface or define NO_RGBX_8888

eglApi.cpp - eglSwapBuffers

glext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

gl2ext.h - remap GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

state.cpp - fix case GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES

BootAnimation.cpp - BootAnimation::android()

for details see patchset - first aid hacks. Needs additional investigations and developments.

On GitHub mdeejay is present with a ics kernel for the pyramid https://github.com/mdeejay/pyramid-ics-kernel

Okay I just checked that out, might be of help.

[Guest nieldk]

Not much to add as for bugs. A lot of bugs have been solved. I find it stable enough for daily usage, despite very few reboots or hickups. Good job Trip.

For the game crashes, which seems to be related to the 3D hw-acc as per Trip's posts. Guys, I dont care LOL, but did you reboot after deleting the file suggested by Trip. Also, please do modify the build.prop as per Trips' request. Your help in developing and bug-hunting will be good for further progress I am sure.

And please, I am sure all those links to other projects are meant in a good mind. Just, please keep in mind that the issues left are mostly related to propriatary hw drivers, which is mot publically available (only the kernel is available from HTC, and only the basic AOSP, clean ICS from Google). So, unless the platforms you link to have the same hw it wont do much good.

[Guest mils69]

Try adding this to build.prop

ro.config.disable_hw_accel=true

and/or

video.accelerate.hw=0

Nope - any/all combinations of the above result in the same outcome.. game freezes and then phone resets.

Can you provide any logs from output of dmesg, that might help Trip in locating what's happening?

adb shell

su

dmesg > \sdcard\dmesg.log

or from a terminal on phone

su

dmesg > \sdcard\dmesg.log

and post the output to Trip :)

When I am near a computer, yes.

Okay random Off-topic Android related question.

My contact photos after sync appear very distorted and pixelated despite high quality photos. :( Why so!! :(

I think you need to add them on the phone. GoogleMail does not support highres

[Guest inzanic]

So, as far as I can understand, the main focus is being set on HWACC?

And what exactly is the problem with the kernel?

My guess is that it is synced with your Google account which only has small images so it doesn't take much data traffic when you synchronise your contacts.

Maybe Google will increase the image size soon because of Android 4.0 where your contact pictures appear fullsize when you make a call, that would be nice :)

Trip, I have asked some developers who claimed to have ICS with HWAccel working for different devices. They used this patchset linked to my quoted post and it appeared to work. You might want to try it..

It's allegedly working on the Desire and Desire HD with some hacks.

Hopefully it's true, though. But with some hacks?

Off topic but I just wanted top say how S&*#y of XDA to remove the Sensation from that list when we have such a great build. It was listed on there when the list first came out and then a Nazi, I mean mod removed it.

[Guest inzanic]

I've got a friend who's using ICS on his Desire.

He said that the HWACC was enabled with some sort of hack - but that contributed with a lot of hacking and freeze lags, which made the feeling much worse than without it enabled.

Uhoh Nazi writing here ;) No idea why Trip's work is not appreciated on there, perhaps it's Trip's decision. I do know that XDA have been doing quite a large clean-up. Basically, they only want dev's there. But I do see that too many noobs (sorry) are posting ridicoulous questions and flaming there. This have in terms caused several legit dev threads to be closed. Which this 'Nazi' personally don't appreciate at all (there, now i'll be suspended from that forum LOL).

Short, it's not listed because its not accepted for whateverstupidorlegitreason (no offence Trip, you do great work)

Pretty sure Trip will make this hw acceleration to work without any hack.

He just need time (and decent sleep hours). :lol:

It's only a matter of time.

Haha, yeah - Hope so!

It would have been great if he could communicate with us - using Twitter or some sort of social network.

But, well. F5-ing works kinda good anyways ;)

Couldn't care less, really, my friend.

TRIP delivers, that's the bottom line. B)

Others (mostly) just do "social" pull-your-chain, such "communication" is as good as nothing.

@Trip I hope i did it right.

Trip - I must apologise - with video.accelerate.hw=0 ONLY the game does load and i can play. Not sure what I did differently - was rebooting after each change previously. At any rate, my HWA is off!

EDIT: Subsequent reboot (by me) and the game crashes... will post log in a second.

RE-EDIT: Wife thinks I'm spending too much time with my phone - log might have to wait (although I see Steini posted his - ta!)
