[ICS] [CM9] [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 for the ZTE Crescent [ROM] [Last updated: 13/07]

[Guest Dazzozo]

Neat, working on CWM 5.5.0.4, and I found a way to find your touchscreen model without the stock ROM and this should work in Terminal Emulator within Android, too.

Just wondering if it's safe for me to uninstall Rom Manager and Google Talk via Titanium Backup?

Thanks

Yep. I do the same with ROM Manager and Terminal Emulator (prefer knowing its a market version of the latter)

wow this Rom is ridiculously fast am very impressed.

So I've stared at an over-bright screen for most of the night trying to get better Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support for our BCM4330. It seems we are going to need that SmartTab source that Fuzzra tried to port about two months ago as that's where the problem seems to lie.

I grabbed a later version of the source than the one he committed to his fork of the kernel (in the hopes that it would actually work now as the SmartTab guys seem to have had success with it) and suffice to say it's going to take a lot of effort to get this going.

I can't just try to half ass port it over - we're missing stuff, I add it, and we're missing even more stuff. I'll probably have to go the full way and edit a lot of this myself. Their board is msm8x60, after all. :(

I'll look at it tomorrow (when it's not 1am and my eyes aren't sore), it's quite a nice challenge really. ;)

And finally I have CM9 up and running. Back camera works but not fluantly (did not try with stock rom), wifi works right away (used it to set up google account), Bluetooth doesn't start:

Feature request: Youtube app and flashlight app

Feature request: Youtube app and flashlight app -> installed some flashlight apps but the led seems not to work, doens't flash when using camera either

Made me smile. ;)

Uhu :) It looks very nice and it really goes a lot faster than stock. Keep up the good work!

Found the youtube app and flashplayer.

Camera preview slowness has already been fixed in some changes committed this morning, though it's still tearing but that'll be fixed in time.

Also changed some of the OMX proprietary libs this morning. Next focus will be BT/Wi-Fi.

That won't happen, this isn't a custom rom, it's CyanogenMod, it has to be the same across all releases. If you want to then take it and insert your own apps that's fine but I doubt you'll ever see anything in our CM9 that isn't in the rest. Glad you've finally got to enjoy the CM9 rom tho :)

I would heartily recommend using the Nova Launcher (paid version) and the Reloaded ICS addon

Apex all the way :P

What do you prefer Nova for Psycho? I did like the look of it initially, but free Apex does what I want for free.

[Guest Dazzozo]

So I had another go at the bcm4330_b1_b2_zte driver today and got it to actually compile after messing around with our board file. Doesn't work straight out of the box yet but it's looking good.

@ tilal: am I good to fork the kernel temporarily while I work on this? I'll send a pull request when it's 100% and delete the fork. That is, if I can get it 100%.

[Guest Bouncer5]

How do you use the A2SD scripts?

[Guest AmbushReality]

Partition the SD card in cwm and then download a2sdgui

[Guest vhqck25]

Camera not working on SF2.How can i fix it?Nice roms!

[Guest Josef Prusa]

FYI: in Rel. 5b on my Vivacity BT does not work plus camera won't use the flash. Other than these two - it looks very promising.

[Guest fr0do]

BT is a known issue. Dazzozo is currently working on it. Camera flash works no problem on my TMV. Don't think anyone else has reported that.

I can afford to work on the Wi-Fi/BT driver as the camera can just be stolen from the Skate.

I did report that the camera flash isn't working (and the camera preview is shokking)

[Guest tilal6991]

@Daz

Feel free to fork away. Good luck with the

BT and WiFi.

[Guest Dazzozo]

So I decided to try to get the BT working again in its current, Wi-Fi dependent state before even adventuring in to that. If I root up, turn the Bluetooth online (echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state) and run the init.qcom.bt.sh script, I get what seems to be good results.

get_bdaddr: after: 0e.be.cc.b2.1a.68

Baud rate parameters: DHBR=0x 0,DLBR=0x 0

[/CODE]




And logcat confirms this.



[CODE]

I/qcom-bluetooth( 1108): init.qcom.bt.sh: start_hciattach: pid = 1107

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): Call init_uart

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): ->bcm2035

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): read HCD file ok, size=38135

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): Set PCM ok

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): Set sleep mode ok

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): BT chip change BaudRate to: 3000000

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): <-bcm2035

E/bluez_hciattach( 1107): Device setup complete

However this does not translate in to working BT in the OS. The BT switch is still snapping back to off, with or without this manual work.

Any ideas?
