Guest AntonioPT Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 That link means Tom has submitted our device for official CyanogenMod support. It does not mean (yet) that the Pulse is now an officially supported CyanogenMod device. It still needs to be reviewed by members of the CyanogenMod team. BTW, Tom has made some big changes in his device config repo @ github. Hopefully they are meant to make CM7 work better. If I have the time, I'll compile a CM7 rom with Tom's updated device config (unless he's already planning to do that, regardless of the Pulse being accepted as an official CM device).

So pauls planning a cm7 port? And if he doesnt make one, you will? Could you post the link to his github?
Guest AntonioPT Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 So pauls planning a cm7 port? And if he doesnt make one, you will? Could you post the link to his github? Not Paul, Tom :( And yes, Tom has released a very "alpha" CM7 port a few weeks back. I am busy right now cooking a ROM, but if I do compile CM7, it will be entirely based on Tom G's work (kudos to him and not to me). Yeah, sure: https://github.com/TomGiordano/android_device_huawei_u8220

Yeah, sure: https://github.com/TomGiordano/android_device_huawei_u8220 Im confused! Are you cooking a cm7 rom now? also. do you know how to enable dt a2sd on de update?
Guest AntonioPT Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Im confused! Are you cooking a cm7 rom now? also. do you know how to enable dt a2sd on de update? No, I'm cooking a CM6 rom. I believe you have to edit init.rc in the boot.img's ramdisk. See DT A2SD's thread @ xda for instructions.
Guest Tom G Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 I wont be releasing anything until it is official but I've been using it for a few days and so far have had no problems. If others want to build it from source thats fine, but I would prefer if no roms were released until an official RC1 is available. There are a few problems. The new compcache (zram) is unstable so is disabled by default. I will look at either making it more stable or using the old compcache. Camera doesn't work. We need a new camera library. Eclair libs are no longer supported. Manual network selection doesnt work. It should be fairly easy to fix.

Guest thisweb Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Great stuff tom! Can you tell us, is it as fast as CM6 0.4 ( Froyo 2.2)?

Guest shashwatyoyo Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Archive error : cannot find android-info Helpp ------------------------ hmm done copied a android-info.txt file from other rom Edited March 15, 2011 by shashwatyoyo
Guest sun lbx Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 So, is there any progress? (asking this just to know if we should keep waiting or forget and relax)
Guest houzey Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 CM Team stoped official g1 and g2 so this seems to be bad news for pulse or isn´t it?
Guest gocegi Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Bad news. And the worst part is, that they stopped developement for the G1 cuz it has 192 MB of RAM :/ So it looks like, our pulses are doomed :D
Guest thisweb Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) really? that doesn't bode well :( Probably won't accept pulse now. If its not going to happen any chance of releasing that RC1 rom on Modaco Tom? Please :D Edited March 16, 2011 by thisweb
Guest sun lbx Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) !!! there is a kind of pulse-based u8230 which has 256mb of ram maybe they will agree to support this u8230? as it's hardware is 100% pulse-compatible, it will run on pulse (maybe some tweaks will be needed) Edited March 16, 2011 by sun lbx
Guest AntonioPT Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 CM for the Pulse may not get official status, but Tom's device config is fairly complete (I think only camera isn't working), so we've still got a pretty much functional CM7 rom.

Is this rom online somewhere or should it still remain unpublished?
Guest thisweb Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 How long do we give it before we can get that CM7 rom up? Tom?
Guest gbayar Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 How long do we give it before we can get that CM7 rom up? Tom? tom you are our last hero :D
Guest Sh4d0w940 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 If they support the U8230 with extra ram, the others can use swap/compcache to run the rom. With an overclocked kernel it'll probably run fine. Sh4d0w940
Guest AntonioPT Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 If you have experience building roms from source, you can get the device config from https://github.com/TomGiordano/android_device_huawei_u8220 and the vendor config from http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,3670 and just compile the rom.

With an overclocked kernel it'll probably run fine. Sh4d0w940 Yeah thats true, with totiadrenalins script for the low memory killer, the problem with ram is basically sorted :/ so thats 1 less problem for them i guess
