kallt_kaffe, or another experienced dev, is it possible to create a version of this that works with ROMs such as Ginger Stir Fry, based on the new Gingerbread leak?

What should that achieve? AFAIK the 2.6.35 kernel is available as a binary only currently. This won't work with CM since a) CM uses a different memory layout, b) the ZTE kernel will be lacking many fixes that have been made in the CM kernel, probably introducing new bugs, c) with a binary-only kernel supporting GEN1 phones (the reason for the converter) is not possible.

Also, for end users there's pretty much nothing cool you can expect from 2.6.35. I can understand developers wanting 2.6.35 (since it would make some things easier in development, and gets CM Blade more in line with other Gingerbread devices), but end users really don't have to care in this regard.

Well I guess, the foreposter's device is still Gen1. And now he es asking the skilled community developers if someone can build a converted kernel, so that the new leaked Gingerbread ROMs will be running on Gen1 devices.

Ah. No. :) If the kernel source gets released, perhaps.

Neither. Use the most recent version in post #186 of this thread. The linking is broken again, so no direct link.

You flash N106 or whatever you're using, then flash the converter, then reboot like normal. You can still install other Gen 1 roms if you want to. Pretty sure every rom these days is compatible with TFT and OLED screens.

I took the liberty of updating the converter to the latest kernel.

cm7_universal_converter_20110611.zip - MD5: 994cdfaebb510b8c9ffa7b0f8883a193

  • run this in ClockworkMod after any CM update
  • it works with all CM nightlies, including newer ones
  • for a changelog of the kernel used in standard CM nightlies, see here

edit: re-added omitted update-script (txh Tarot)

How did you update the converter to the latest kernel?

2 probable reasons:

1) There hasn't been a kernel update in a while so this hasn't needed updated. Though there just has been a kernel update so presumably this will needed updated with the next nightly.

2) there's the new method from wbaw to go to gen 2 easily and back again to gen 1 as and when you like.

Are there any benifits with wbaw's method and is it safe to use if you used the converter method to install CM7?

With wbaw's method, you're converting your phone to a gen2 device, after that you can use any gen2 rom out there and yes, it's safe to use after you've used the universal converter (which only touches the installed kernel to suite your gen1 device).
