[NEWS]Gingerbread comes.

[Guest roggin]

as always great work guys!!!

just a question....there will be the hope to get this rom officially supported by Cyanogen (like the devices in the cyanogenmod site)?

Hi wytek,

Yes, I hope so, we'll do our best. :(

Thanks.

[Guest tmp_do]

whats problem with our device for off cm now?

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

Hi bais,

working: 3G, WIFI seems easily to fix(module load successfully, but can't scan, should be user land problem. BTW, tether works), audio

not working: all sensors, GPS, camera, 3D seems works but lack some functions.

Thanks.

moreover, screen has serious problems in localizing the fingers...

[Guest roggin]

Hi all developers,

If someone want to take a try, u can PM me. :(

notice: It's very very buggy now.

Thanks.

What do you mean? Can you be a little more specific?

[Guest roggin]

Hi Morris Lee,

Ok, It's about touch screen mapping, the situation is like that touch screen not calibrated. :(

Thanks.

Can keyboard calibration be as simple as running com.htc.clicker.Clicker? Perhaps a silly question ;)

[Guest Koki1337]

This news is totally rocking my holidays!

Maybe something has been changed in the way touch sensing works due to this defect? http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7836

Ummm...thanks. Will do some testing :(

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

I would like to thank MrNameless for his help on fixing the graphics issues :( Roggin recompiled with the patch: a lot smoother.

P.S.: 127 mb of free RAM with Gingerbread: better than froyo!

Liquid A1 256 mb RAM O,o? or 512 RAM?

[Guest bais]

When you say all sensors not working you mean Prox and Light or also the G-Sensor?

Wifi almost working is great news, with that and if you fix the TouchScreen it could already be usable :(

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

Thmz159: I have a Liquid with 256 mb of RAM ;)

bais: the patch was for the graphics issues that made the ROM very slooow. Wifi is still broken and I know why. Bad news guys...

The patch makes the system use RGB565 surfaces instead of the default ones in gingerbread because there are still userland driver to be released for that. I had a chat with a N1 dev (MrNameless) who told me about the patch. He also said that he had not to edit the other drivers because he has a N1 and his device tree is included in the sources. So I think that Google changed the way that wifi, touchscreen and maybe sensor (I mean all sensors) userland drivers work. In poor words: we need new userland drivers or some patches to use the old ones. I contacted the dev of the Increbile's Gingerbread ROM (like koudelka suggested) too and he confirmed those changes that has to be made to fix the missing hw. Unfortunately he's not at home and he can't explain me how to fix the remaining hw right now.

Google, Google :(

[Guest akira.pwr]

Well, we trust you all, thanks for this nice news, maybe I'll have Ginger first on my Liquid than my Nexus, unbelievable... :(

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

Guys, maybe I didn't notice it in froyo, but if you try to pinch-to-zoom on a "pile" of photos in the gallery they will get out and line up. Cool :(

Edit: camera is working, but we need codecs because otherwise it will force close. Btw, all codecs are broken on the ROM ;)

[Guest Thmz159]

So 120 mb RAM free with Gingerbread on A1 256?! THATS AWESOME! I only have 60-70 mb free on Froyo and running a game I'm getting low RAM but 120 MB would be very very very good!

Unfortunately it wont be released tomorrow :( I go on vacation Sunday and having Gingerbread would be awesome but you guys are doing a great job!

[Guest ololo12345]

Kernel version is the same :(

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

Kernel version is the same :(

Of course. Kernel and Operating System are two different things...

[Guest ololo12345]

So, if kernel is the same, what are the new features?

thanks to roggin

[Guest Andrea1Liquid]

thanks to roggin

The new features are in the operating system (Android 2.3 in this case). The kernel is like the foundations of a house: your house would never exist without them, but you can destroy your house without changing them and have a completely new and fashion house ;)

Btw, not to be rude but, roggin did a very very very good job but, I worked too with him... Andrea1Liquid :(

Hope we'll have something by the end of the year.

Even though chances are not so high thanks to Google xD

Great job anyway, and by the sound of it GB is definitely better optimized, I mean 120MB of free RAM on Liquid is a great improvement. Just a question Andrea, does it run better than Froyo, in term of speed?

[Guest shahru98]

OMG! This is awesome!! 120MB free ram?? gotta be kidding! but its a reality!

really cant wait for the release of this rom. thanks to all devs!
