Compiling CM9 (and maybe CM10) for Blade

[Guest Stu C]

I'm new to this particular thread... I assume that even KonstaT new build has the same ICS issues that the other ROMs have, ie full GFX hardware acceleration, some camera functions?

If it's based on CM9, yes..

[Guest slumslayer]

I can't get any build to boot since 29/05. They just hang at the boot anim and nothing happens.

Cleaning the out/ folder did not fix it, neither did wiping data, ...

Anyone having the same issue ?

Nevermind, it was my fault, I removed librs_jni because it was in the Live Wallpapers PRODUCT_PACKAGES block. Turns out it is required.

Fresh test build. Repo synced after the android_hardware_qcom_display got sorted. Device + patches + 1, 2, 3 and 4.

This is a bleeding edge version and it's not for noobs. Don't whine about bugs, I don't care. And please, don't hijack this thread to discuss about this ROM!

KonstaT, This ROM is incredible! I managed to trim it down further so that ROM+Gaaps fit in a 119MB partition. Everything works perfectly here! Amazed at the smoothness of your build! Thank you very much.

Same here, probably smoothest out there, also gaming seemed a lot less laggy, (pes, nfs)

Do the props need to be in the directory above cm9?

To explain further, the steps in the op say

cd

...

Obviously cd means to go to ~ and in the op the cm9 tree is a ~/cm9 whereas mine is at ~/android/cm9 so would my props needs to be at ~/android? Is it necessary to use ccache as I don't really have much hard drive space...? :s Are the props meant to at:

../cm9/vendor/zte/skate/skate/

unbelievable.. for a long hour I was deleting the out folder, reverting kernel changes and what not, because my build failed at:

hardware/qcom/display/liboverlay/overlayLibUI.cpp:269: error: 'MDP_BACKEND_COMPOSITION' was not declared in this scope

make: *** [out/target/product/blade/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/liboverlay_intermediates/overlayLibUI.o] Error 1

finally after going into gerrit what did I see if not Steve messing with qcom display again...

ffs, someone buy steve a lower end phone than he's used to, maybe he'd actually test his commits then.

cyanogenmod might as well just be aosp the way google/samsung are the only really supported phones.

[Guest tilal6991]

Copy the updated header from http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16948/ and put in include/linux in the device dir.

[Guest slumslayer]

I'm lucky, I've synced just before this commit.

For now on, I'm going to apply the 'android_hardware_qcom_display commit by Steve K., wait a couple of days before building' policy.

Btw, http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16721/ http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16722/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16861/ are really nice, Messaging app is way less laggy now.

same as what the htc guys did: http://review.cyanog....com/#/c/16978/

yuk, i don't like tom_g's new mini patch: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16984/

i'd rather remove the videos/ringtones at build time than have the installer check if my /system is 210mb+ (which mine is, and i still don't want the videos!)

Another fresh test build. Same trimmed down philosophy as before.

Device + Patches + This brilliant and very usefull patch :P + 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

I left in all of the LatinIME dictionaries this time. With medium gapps system size is ~136mb. You can still save ~10mb by trimming the LatinIME dictionaries that you don't need.

Nice rom! just missing softkeys :)

[Guest jeddy1]

go and search them somewhere else :P

some complain about soft keys so better roms come without them ;)

Thanks, KonstaT! Great ROM so far. Only one issue I came across is that I cannot edit light levels. No more problems found after 4 hours of extreme using. Keep up good work! :)

EDIT// and one more issue: system cannot read QR codes....could you, please, look at it? Thanks :)

I disagree. it sounds like a good idea. of course I'd prefer to have a smaller zip to begin with but I don't really care that much.

this benefits most users and Tom has to think about that. it removes everything the mini patch does (maybe even more).

I'm gonna re-TPT my phone soon anyway (I have 190 now and only using 140 after medium trimmage).

in the worst case, you can still use the original mini patch

[Guest targetbsp]

I prefer TomG's way cause we'll end up saving more than mini phone once more useless stuff is added to extras.txt

You could re-TPT to 209. But surely the idea of wanting to save system space is that you will be TPTing down to something even lower to recover data space?

[Guest sej7278]

this fixes barcode scanner on recent builds - it was just the line 355 "else if" should be an "if" as discussed on gerrit

Why don't you send it in?

[Guest sej7278]

tom_g's looking into it, he said there's more problems than that as eventually it crashes. i noticed its pretty damned slow, so suspected it had a memory leak or some sort of debugging overload.

[Guest shmizan]

great job getting answers to this and the qcom mdp issue too sej! an opportunity well spotted on gerrit :D

[Guest shezar]

Yes I know I'm getting the emails for that change as well. I posted the question before Tom's answer, I thought that it could be a working solution.

[Guest KonstaT]

I can't see any of the problems Tom G is talking about. No unusual errors in logs, I left the barcode scanner on for 15 minutes and it never crashed. Preview in barcode scanner app is slow because it's constantly scanning. In google goggles it's as good as in regular camera app. Well, at least he's looking into it - again...

I added a switch to toggle the navbar on and off yesterday, works great. :) Also testing this Sense 4.0 style Multitasking mod. Looks good but it's a bit laggy. Probably won't include in my builds in the future but I'll still include it in the next one I release.
