Great news, whatever you do please don't remove the lg luncher because is the best I've seen. You could add a file browser. I would love to help you somehow but i don't know how :P . Thanks and good luck !

hello, goodluck with the custom rom!

btw, a rom that'd make the gt 540 much faster would be great.

Thanks.

ok heres the progress

the lg kernel doesnt seemto compile completly (wtfs with that lg)

and android seems to be assuming i have a 64bit build env which i dont so i have to do some fixs before i can actualy build the dam thing >_>

would astro be alright as a file manager

its prety good

[Guest N3tieb]

well the biggest thing would be a 2.1 or 2.2 custom rom. And if its buggy no problem. What tools do you need to make a custom rom?

[Guest aaa801]

well im building from scratch so

heres my setup

ubuntu + wubi

jdk 6 (android site is out of date..)

repo from android

full checkout (takes ages)

git

some knoledge of programming for fixing the build errors

lg open source gt540 source

list goes on

[Guest N3tieb]

perhaps you could try to get some help form xda developers.

A port of psfreedom would be awesome.

A port of psfreedom would be awesome.

we already have a way of rooting the phone..?

[Guest N3tieb]

yes just use androot

[Guest tretle]

yes just use androot

It has nothing to do with rooting your phone, its for running homebrew on your ps3.

[Guest mixlis]

have you thought, how you would make speaker work both as speaker for calls and media plays ?

[Guest aaa801]

can you explain what you mean

you can already use the speaker for calls and media

or do you mean at the same time?

[Guest aaa801]

had a major setback by my ubunu self destructing lol

seems the master branch is bugged so im using donut for now

[Guest Sash0815]

Hi,

i really like you effort aaa801..

BUT how do you plan to flash your custom rom if it is compiled?

I searched for ages to find a method to flash the GT540 but

fastboot seems to be disabled..This seems to be a dead end..

[Guest aaa801]

yep now that lg released the kernel code we can generate a ota install and use kdz or official installer to do it

or just use flash_image with adb

[Guest Mur4ik]

I think flash_image don't properly flash a system partition on running phone, so firstly we should find some way flash a system partition.

Kernel and ramdisk (in boot.img) normaly writes by flashe_image, but system ... maybe we need to somehow update/patch bootloader for enable fastboot and recovery modes.

Sorry for my Runglish :P

if we use -j2 while building then it should produce a single file that we can use to flash the phone normaly (kdz) or lgutils

btw its still building..

dam you slow laptop ;p

if anyone wants to test it let me know :)

Hope thats help, btw after few days (approx 4-6) LG release official 2.1 update, so for now I think we sould just wait this update and the sources.

Maybe in new 2.1 we can see a normal fastboot, bootloader and recovery modes... :P

[Guest aaa801]

ya thatd be nice lol

wonder if theyl stop us rooting in 2.1 :P

[Guest Sash0815]

Fingers crossed root is still possible at 2.1 :P

I have read that for some reason the released

source does not compile, the wlan module for

instance..Keep us updated, i am really interested :)

i have got the lg kernel compiled completly now

however it refuses to load in the emulator (??)

had to do a manual patch in trace_reader

char *end = rindex(const_cast<char *>(mmap_path), '@');

and one few below it

just had to do the same patch in dmtrace

should have android compiled some time today

:(

ok got qemutools compiled

webcore is compiled but wont link to a library -- grabbed libwebcore.so from my phone (will that make any difference) to bypass

Edited September 9, 2010 by aaa801

[Guest aaa801]
