[Guest Uberadri]

I was so sure Froyo was a no go on Liquid (we didn't get Eclair until Acer leaked some), such a pleasant surprise!

Piter said on Twitter: "new dev is in, he is cooperating with few others and they got Froyo and motoblur working, only need to fix ril libs"

He's talking about you right?

Thanks for your work and good luck everyone! :rolleyes:

I still haven't digged in 3D stuff. Anyway the link you gave is for msm7k only.

Anyhow, as said before, there are almost no changes between the kernel from disc0 and the one for this screenshot, only one actually.

So, our cpu is 32bit (nothing new here.), which means you can set 4GB of virtual memory. userspace (ie applications) and kernel shares the same memory configuration (don't worry, not the same rights :rolleyes: ). So you must define where is the kernel adress space, and where is the userspace address space.

On most devices I've seen, there are 3GB for userspace, and one 1GB for kernel (kernel being at the highest GB). On Acer Liquid kernels, it's 2GB for both world. I've no clue wether it's intented or not, and if it has any impact on any hardware thing.

Now, when you load a program, you must load libraries, which are the dependencies of this program. And you must load them, somewhere in the virtual address space. Also, the libraries and the program must know at which virtual address they are, so for that there are two possibilities, either their address is fixed, or it's dynamic. Making it dynamic is complicated, and eats resources, so most android system decided to fix the libraries addresses. That's called prelinking, it also exists in GNU/Linux, but it's always possible to revert back to dynamic linking. On android it's impossible.

Now you see the problem ? Still not ?

Yes you are right :D Here is our driver.

And about the change you've made. Can you give us a patch :(

Yes you are right :rolleyes: Here is our driver.

Yes goto in C is funny to see :rolleyes: Same thing should do break I think :D

Yep!

Yes, my changes basically fixes any "external" (ie non acer) android ROM.

It seems so.

Yes you are right :rolleyes: Here is our driver.

But I think our drivers migth already be good. I've still not checked.

And about the change you've made. Can you give us a patch :D

If you've understood what I explained, it's useless, but still, change vmsplit 2G to vmsplit 3G, and page_offset to 0xc0000000.

Yes goto in C is funny to see :( Same thing should do break I think :(

Why ?

goto are great ....

They are used pretty much everywhere in the kernel. I'm still too noob to use it though. (I mean I'm too used to the politely correct way)

So if I'm correct Vache, pphusson, and you are working together on porting Froyo to Liquid ?

[Guest Sph1re]

Nice! good job the french Team!

Gotos are really great in the hands of skillfull devs and they have their place. But some gotos in these sources are... Khm... No well used, if I may say so. Looks like they were left after refactoring.

Xian is also part of the team =]

Sorry but i have to say that he's not.

Great news.

Good luck to everyone.

Developers contribute your work, we donate our money.

Let's act together to Froyo!!!

[Guest demolition23]

I just take a look to Vache tweets and having good news about froyo

[Guest mirox3m]

It's time to ask Acer to release the source code to allow modders to improve on it if the Acer engineers have limited resources. It would be a win-win for everyone. Increasing support after release brings in more buyers of Acer's android phones.

To inform few models have the latest operating system/ ROM available online depending on the configuration the phone can have source code released.

Some of the models don't have the latest ROM published on our web site ,since those models are not capable of handling new versions.

We might surely release the android 2.1 kernel source code for this model as soon as possible.

Is that a typo or truth?

[Guest ahsid]
