[DEV][HELP] Let's make this Metal 2.3.3 boot!

[Guest thepasto]

Exactly after two months:

Just get rid of DUN Service by some cleanings :D

Now, serious problem that could stop us:

That's all log that can provide me my smart logcat, then it hangs :D

What's your kernel in this boot? We have nparts support https://github.com/t...30ad31f834e1360. so if your kernel is older than this patch update it. If it's already updated try to change vold binary and vold.fstab

Sorry, can't exactly say what kernel did devs use 2 months ago ;]

Will try with latest kernel and modules/libs and the latest Gingerounay.

My 1'st attempt was to change kernel to LN one, but after flashing it can't view even Acer-android logo, just black screen.

Yeah, it boots far than vold, but not so far :D

[Guest Lens_flare]

Kernel is booting normally, the problem is still somewhere in frameworks.

You have to change the ramdisk and add acer personalization..maybe you missed a framework component in the bootclasspath? Try to compare the two ramdisks..

[Guest Lens_flare]

How can Media Scanner be linked with acer customisation?

ok will try :/

Maybe they changed something in ramdisk..

[Guest zorginho]

I'm not an expert and maybe I'm wrong but i can remember that the chocolate kernel needs to be recompiled with the 2g option for using it on Acer stock roms... maybe is the same think with the metal stock roms?

Yeah that's true, will try with my chocolate kernel for acer roms + metal ramdisk

No, if I'm not wrong, vache said that also metal kernel is compressed with 3G option

[Guest Lens_flare]

And Mt ramdisk has other init files .paso-> not compatible with ours..

[Guest zorginho]

So too heavy personalization made by Acer on the metal's android?

[Guest Lens_flare]

Yep, just like on HTC Sense one :[

[Guest zorginho]

Damn Acer!

so can't we even port just the Acer UI ?? too bad Liquid Metal is not available in my country :(

[Guest Lens_flare]

Welcome to CyanogenMetal project by Dario93 :D

Acer UI also have dependencies in framework, dunno if it's possible to do further development

[Guest gnufabio]

No, i think you're wrong now...if Froyo rom was ported, that's possible. This rom has been ported to an HTC smartphone..it need a very hard work, debugging, testing, hacking the framework but it's possible. The only problem is that it needs lot of time and personally I don't have it to work on this rom.

[Guest Lens_flare]

Froyo was more open-source than GB from Acer ;]

agree with you, cyamogen is good in terms of speed n smoothest but the UI control still acer ui done better :) maybe we should just make the cyamogen metal works perfectly :P
