Guest Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 This is going to be awsome. You really are the man tilal. :D :D :D
Guest D3abL3 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Btw...what is AOSP? Android Open Source Project
Guest dadashi Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Android Open Source Project... This new rom would say bye bye to any ideas of phone upgrade to SG2 or whatever ...
Guest Frankish Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Tilal is the main man around here. People need to donate to this guy.
Guest Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Yes we should all donate to tilal for his hard work wth porting cm7,and now ics. Next pay day,I will certainly be donating.
Guest t0mm13b Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Coming soon... Progress so far: After not a lot of work on my part I have got it booting to a certain extent. I am working on this right now Status: I downloaded CM sources instead of AOSP source so there were some compatibility issues. I'm now downloading AOSP sources and will rebuild when that happens. (15GB download!) Have you had any luck in compiling for the armv6-vfp especially in the dalvikvm compile bit which seems to break on mine and build grinds to a halt with obscure (read, renamed variables for armv6)?
Guest tilal6991 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Have you had any luck in compiling for the armv6-vfp especially in the dalvikvm compile bit which seems to break on mine and build grinds to a halt with obscure (read, renamed variables for armv6)? There is no arm6 on aosp so I just used armv5te-vfp. It compiled but as I said booting didn't get very far.
Guest t0mm13b Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 There is no arm6 on aosp so I just used armv5te-vfp. It compiled but as I said booting didn't get very far. Not on aosp - correct, but on cm7's tree that is... thats where I think, the armv6-vfp which is the target abi for both Zte Blade/Skate chipset, that is absent... as for using the armv5te-vfp, would there be neglible performance hits as result of using older chipset abi?

On the ICS branch of CM, ARM6 has not been updated. As for ARM5 - it has been said it is almost exactly the same. There is an active port on the hero which used it and it's working very well.

Guest tilal6991 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 ICS booted!!!!!!! But the touch screen is not working :(
Guest Frankish Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Lots of ports seem to have no touchscreen issue maybe worth looking at the methods for other ports?
Guest tilal6991 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Lots of ports seem to have no touchscreen issue maybe worth looking at the methods for other ports? https://github.com/TomGiordano/kernel_zte_blade/commit/fb7ceb81bd6c76addcac600b275a13bcb62cefa2 - well TomG seems to have commited something - I will try and see if that fixes it.
Guest Frankish Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 If Tom can't fix it nobody can lol. Hope it goes well for you Tilal. I've lowered my sgs2 to £340 and still can't sell it!

Guest tillaz Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 I've lowered my sgs2 to £340 and still can't sell it! i would replace the stock picture with a proper photo of your phone, so people can see the actual condition my OMC is going on Ebay soon..
Guest D3abL3 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Touchscreen partially working now. Is it working as a dot or actual touch screen?
Guest tilal6991 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Is it working as a dot or actual touch screen? Either and both. As a touchscreen the pressure is horribly innaccurate. As a pointer it's just plain annoying. :)
Guest Frankish Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Good to see progress even if it's not perfect!
Guest D3abL3 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Either and both. As a touchscreen the pressure is horribly innaccurate. As a pointer it's just plain annoying. :) I found this over XDA, maybe it helps.
Guest tilal6991 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 I found this over XDA, maybe it helps. That's exactly what I used to get the touchscreen partially working :D
