Guest didije Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone. I reassembled cm7.2 rom based on $anek001's cm for u8500. It is very nice, and so far very stable. I'll upload it in a while. It is very smooth, in fact there is no need to turn off animations, they will not slow down your phone. There are two issues I am unable to resolve. Minor one is: wifi and signal icons in status bar don't turn green when connected to net. Big one is very strange: I cannot take pictures. Video is recording just fine, and that is the strange part. I would appreciate any help with this one.. It's uploading. Will post links soon. Send feedback, and please, feel free to improve it in any way possible.

Guest pier11 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 interesting! By compiling did you mean from source or re-assembling u8500 rom for our device? Just curious :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious :) Just reassembling. I'm not yet at enough high level to compile it from source. I bet there are a lot of unnecessary files in it, but I don't know which ones. I'm still learning, and have a lot to learn. Upload is very slow.. You will need at least 110 system partition to flash it.

Guest pier11 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) what do formal graphics performance tests say - Fps2D and Neocore?.. Edited March 20, 2012 by pier11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest didije Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 what do formal graphics performance tests say - Fps2D and Neocore?.. I never do those tests so I really don't know. I'm uploading from my phone and I cannot do it right now. I didn't enable hw acceleration in egl. I forgot, but maybe there is no need for that.. I'll leave that part to be a choice, and others recommendation, from more experienced devs. I just don't know how to fix camera issue. Video is recording just fine :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pier11 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 did you try to replace Camera.apk from our roms? May be they used some sort of customized version... our roms didn't have such issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest didije Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Uploaded rom. Will add soon gapps. Tried our camera.apk, didn't work. Didn't try third party apps though. I'll try that later, need some sleep now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video recording works without crashing....? In HQ? That would be the first working gingerbread environment....

I also assembled Rom called LeWa Rom from the same phone. There camera works. It is based on cm7.2 as well. But interface is very different and I don't like it. I will upload it for curious minds. Didn't test it much, but everything seems to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest didije Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 rom explosion is what is going on :) It's hard to remember already what was ported just recently :) Yes it is :) Kernel .32 opened up many possibilities. Still dealing with this camera issue. I just don't understand why it will not take pictures.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know what are those files. They were there and I didn't remove then, since I didn't want to mess sth up. All is normal! Itself wanted, but from phone somehow not so I communicate with the help of the translator It's cool my friend. I just want to contribute to the community, like you and everyone else. Original mod that I took as a base was the latest from $anek001, from yesterday. I tried many more but this one is not freezing and is working quite well on our device. And if you and others have any ideas how to improve it, I would like to hear them. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest desalesouche Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I really don't know what are those files. They were there and I didn't remove then, since I didn't want to mess sth up. BCM4319 Single-Chip 802.11a/b/g/n MAC/Baseband/Radio http://www.broadcom.com/docs/press/product_brochure.pdf so i think it is old wifi drivers or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pier11 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) i can observe that in system/etc firmware there is file like:fv_bcm4319.bin/fv_bcm4319_apsta.bin/nvram is that the original wifi stuff for u8500 rom? bcm = broadcom (alternative wifi chipset, we use different - atheros) So no need for that files. Keep cool, people :) Our device need all of your contributions! More activity is better than less. EDIT: To your porting knowledge: most msm7225 devices, like um840, Ascend, u8150, u8500 use Broadcom wifi chip. Only devices that share our wifi chip - Atheros ar6000 - are u8100/u8110/u8120 from Huawei. Also Zte Blade have it.

Guest desalesouche Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 can notice that in that rom there is in system/lib: libqcamera.so this file is not in cm7.2-pier11.is it because of that one that there'is possibility to make high definition video recorded?

Nope, video is working just fine without that file. I deleted it this morning. Still no clue about that, and it's annoying. Video working great, but cannot take picture :blink: Crazy, right?
