Guest D-D- Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 What exactly is the problem with these apps? 1) they "work" but video is taken from the back camera, and thus it's not usable 2) they don't find any camera If it's just 1), the solution (for UK 2.1 roms + .29 kernel) could possibly be simple. I could just patch the kernel to swap 1st and 2nd camera devices. Then the stock camera app would still allow to choose camera, but all apps that can't manually select the camera, should be forced to use front camera instead of back camera. So if your problem is of type 1 and you are willing to try this on an official eclair 2.1 rom, I could prepare a patched kernel for you. It's 1. And yeah, if you could do that I could test some apps (or u could do that too if u have the time). Fring is the last app I tried that video works. I remember when they had skype enabled, I used skype voice calls via fring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pier11 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Set up a branch in repository - eclair-compat Idea is to provide compatibility with existing propitiatory user space libs from pulse .29 kernel where we have no proper replacements. It contains in addition to normal tree: - Old DSP from pulse .29 - Old Camera interface from pulse .29 - Compatibility for Sensors and keypad LEDs Tested with CM6.1. Only issue is black and white video playback. Other than that ALL devices work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dr.flo Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Set up a branch in repository - eclair-compat ... Tested with CM6.1. Only issue is black and white video playback. Other than that ALL devices work as expected. I think this is a very nice idea, especially doing this in a separate branch! One question though: It's named eclair-compat. Shouldn't we test it against stock eclair instead of CM6 / CM7? CMx contains a mixture of user space libraries. Some borrowed from eclair, some rebuilt from (whatever) source, e.g. libaudio, libcopybit, lightlights, libsensors. If we tweak the kernel to run on this, we tweak a hybrid kernel. edit: libcopybit: this might well explain, that on CM6 the compat-kernel gives camera preview, while on stock eclair it said copyBits failed. And libsensors, liblights correspond to 'Compatibility for Sensors and keypad LEDs' Edited January 16, 2012 by dr.flo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may should, but the combination doesn't work as good as cm6 does :) Also ultimate compatibility with eclair is not a goal; it's still a froyo branch with fall backs to eclair interfaces where we have no choice... So far I put there old camera stuff, plus some minor compatibility things - leds/sensors. No outstanding plans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I put there old camera stuff, plus some minor compatibility things - leds/sensors. No outstanding plans... OK, fine with me - but then is led/sensors really needed or wouldn't it be better to replace the libs in CM, e.g. from those of u8150 CM. I remember you saying that screen rotation (part of sensors, isn't it?) worked on u8150-rom out of the box, but not on CM. I guess CM would easily learn it with libsensors from u8150 version. But of course this is just a philosophic question. One could also just say: If something works, we do not need to fix it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dr.flo Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 where is the rom? want it :) You can build one yourself - just take what I initially uploaded, extract ramdisk from there and combine it with your kernel. Those - including me - who initially said kernel .32 doesn't boot with CM7.2 just used the wrong ramdisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pier11 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) tnx wifi didnt work i will compile new rom with this driver and upload it. Cool! Also if sensors and/or keypad lights don't work, it depends on which kernel branch did you use for kernel compilation, 'eclair-compat' branch (latest commit) contains hack to make it work. Even better would be to revert hack with regard to sensors (only sensors) and try to update respective user space lib. Sensors worked fine without hack on ported u8150 stock rom. Thanks again.

Guest pier11 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 - It also might make sense to enable ext3 or better ext4 (which would cover ext3 and ext 2 - the way CM kernel does for dream/sapphire). But kernel might not fit into boot partition after that - it's only 2.5MB. - I turned off ipv6 and nfs - not sure if anyone need it - but those can be compiled as modules. - I saw ramzswap module from .29 kernel - that might also need to be compiled as module in .32 kernel. It's for compcache, right? - Swap is turned on. I'd also accept clean overclocking patch. Should not be a problem to find around - nearly all custom kernel features that.

Guest pier11 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Does Adreno 130 work as it should? I mean is there the hardware opengl acceleration already? It's you to tell us if it works. I've compiled in hardware acceleration the way it was in .29 original kernel. It accelerates things like 3d gallery and google's streetView. If Neocore any indication, it gave me 29+ FPS (may be it's slightly less now when I reverted to stock kernel's display driver for purity of the port). EDIT: question: did it work with original stock Eclair 2.6.29 kernel? Edited January 17, 2012 by pier11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that worked making all things smooth & supporting games like Quake3 with up to 24fps with OC BTW I'm impressed by 29fps, especially if there was no OC during the benchmark. That fact that you got 29fps sounds like the answer "yes" to my question :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
