Guest skywave Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Looks like the blade 2 will get ICS look at picture and look at processor msm7227 just like the blade 1 this might be the soloution? http://cdn.techpp.co...ZTE-Blade-2.jpg Sorry thats the msm7227 A, which is an armv7 processor, which only shares the GPU and gpio pinout
Guest rafalo1333 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 But his adreno 200 will have released source, yes? This source which is needed for us?
Guest skywave Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) But his adreno 200 will have released source, yes? This source which is needed for us? Adreno 200 drivers are proprietary and there will not be any source code released of it. Furthermore the binaries compiled for this device will be almost definitely be targeted for ARMv7 instructionset making it incompatible with the blade. Just the kernel source maybe interesting if they rebase the kernel we are using now to 3.0 or 2.6 and still leave it compatible with the blade1. Only problem it will be 2014 the time they release it seeing ZTE's past record. The only thing i can see this useful for a Blade owner is if he's so in love with the looks of it that he doesn't wan to switch. Edited February 29, 2012 by skywave
Guest GoGokh Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) What about this: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_nova_3_5-4599.php ? It's say ICS and it have only 256 ram ,800mhz and 360*480 screen. So it's armv6? Edited March 1, 2012 by GoGokh
Guest targetbsp Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Interesting! That's got the old 7227 turbo in it of Skate fame according to google. This article says it ships with GB but will receive an ICS upgrade: http://androidadvices.com/zte-nova-35-smart-phone-handson-specifications-features/

ICS was ported to other phones with full functionality (full HW accelerated 2D UI and 3D) that have identical gpu's to ours and ARMv6.

Which ones and what is "full" hardware acceleration according to you? Edited March 1, 2012 by skywave
Guest sifri Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Is the development stopped because i cant see any sign since 7th february in the commits?
Guest skywave Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Yes and no, been working on a CAF port for the Blade (CAF/CodeAurora is AOSP but with optimalisations for Qualcomm devices). It sort of boots, without image as the gralloc component is sort of borked. Also big problems regarding buffers cause of the stupid Adreno binaries which still requires all the crappy hacks. Also been working hard on kernel port, but so far i haven't gotten any serial output and that means it's like finding a needle in a industrial size haystack with your eyes poked out. For now i am kinda busy with study and an other hobby project, kinda lost movivation when i noticed my USB connector on the Blade is starting to break down. Need some time away from it to refocus.
Guest Loren82 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 It seems that ICS released drivers for the GPU Adreno 2XX, this would serve any good?, Sorry for my English translator of google. https://developer.qualcomm.com/develop/mobile-technologies/gaming-graphics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
Guest tilal6991 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 A new gralloc will need to be written but they should help.
Guest skywave Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 A new gralloc will need to be written but they should help. Well did someone check if they are compiled with v7 dependencies? New gralloc doesn't have to be written as it's been tested with CodeAurora releases. They tested with an ARMv7 device however so that doesn't look good.

New gralloc doesn't have to be written as it's been tested with CodeAurora releases. They tested with an ARMv7 device however so that doesn't look good. I tried the binaries. It crashed the hacked gralloc/surfaceflinger. Linker didn't crash and it usually does with an ARMv7 binary so I hope that's not the issue.

If you instead of doing that, you should have stringed it, you would have found this GCC: (GNU) 4.4.3 aebi ARM v7 The blade is dead long live the blade. Edited March 16, 2012 by skywave
Guest tilal6991 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 We have to hope now that ZTE follow through with the promised ICS release for one of new ARMv6 phones - I forget the name.
Guest skywave Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 We have to hope now that ZTE follow through with the promised ICS release for one of new ARMv6 phones - I forget the name. Well it was just mentioned on a couple of news sites that it contained a V6 device, can't remember it seeing spec-signs on any photos. I remember the Skate was once a snapdragon according to the news media.
Guest tilal6991 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Not everyone has given up on ARMv6 - http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,13316. I hold out the hope that we will have a fully working CM9/ICS release one day.

Guest H3ROS Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdevnet-forums/mobile-gaming-graphics-optimization-adreno/8081?page=3 Just continue to post on their forum asking for ARMv6 like a few others have already.
Guest subasd Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Speaking of possible armv6 ICS phones from ZTE, here is an overview of the models that ZTE had on display at MWC 2012. In addition to the ZTE Nova 3.5 that was mentioned above, the Style Q and V856 are two low-end models that seem likely candidates. They have QVGA displays and a reported cpu frequency of 600 mhz. In the photos they are currently running gingerbread but in this photo you can read their spec sheets which state ICS. Fingers crossed.
Guest zdyni90 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 Last hope that ZTE Style Q with 7227 chip will have ics in near future.
Guest emc02 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 wow, new version (16/03) is very fast... its getting harder to last at CM7 ;)
Guest Sulthekk Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 wow, new version (16/03) is very fast... its getting harder to last at CM7 ;) Wrong thread - That one is AOSP, not coldfusion.
