It is also possible to remove some irrrelevant packages from repo manifest to save more bandwidth and space.

I'm getting bootloop, tried all different kinds of things... but I'm not able to fix this:

I/ServiceManager(  283): Waiting for service media.audio_flinger...

I/ServiceManager(  283): Waiting for service media.player...

W/IMediaDeathNotifier(  283): Media player service not published, waiting...

Have anybody else had this problem? I've no ideas left... Thanks.

[Guest C3C0]

Now I am getting bootloop. Something about binder. I am quite in line with tilal's github so I'm curious

if I'm just missing some CM patch? Or is it something else?

E/ProcessState(  473): Using /dev/binder failed: unable to mmap transaction memory.

Delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip

[Guest C3C0]

Oh. It complained about not enough memory. So this is it?

[Guest tilal6991]

The bootanimation takes up all the VRAM and locks the system up.

[Guest C3C0]

Goog god. I wouldn't say it could be that bad :) so I certainly wouldn't even think that removing the animation would fix this. Thanks for the hint. ;)

[Guest sej7278]

The bootanimation takes up all the VRAM and locks the system up.

another reason bootanimation must die. its always been a bit of a memory monster, and slows the boot by up to 50%

Lol. DIE DIE DIE.

You will find a zip file in out/device/product/blade/..

[Guest zeelog]

thanks mate, for some reason i can't find it under that folder..thing is i didn't notice any errors while building...also i don't have a folder device under the out folder, but target - product - blade. no zip files under that folder..

[Guest shmizan]

when it finishes building it tells you exactly where the zip is

check the terminal window before closing it?

[Guest jventura]

Yeap, its out/target/product/blade/.. But yes, check the terminal after compilation, it says the location of the zip file..

[Guest zeelog]

thanks guys, had to restart from scratch 'cos for some reason image was not building correctly, anyhow i've built a new environment on a separate machine, followed all instructions and finally i can see the final zip file under the location you indicated above..thanks for your help

[Guest Loren82]

guys, I just saw on google + the news that the blade not count on support beyond CM7 :( , I wanted to get Cyanogen sources that are on github, but not how it works, I have an account on github, and I can add his sources to my account?, I have to order them in some way, download them to my pc and then upload? ... thanks

[Guest Ganster]

Does anyone try to compile this project http://limoa.sourceforge.net/ ? I think, it can be used for faster video playing...

I try to compile it for Android, but have some problems with cross-compilation:

1) Library hasn't normal configuration script, and by default it compiles to host architecture. Not hard to fix, modules can be configured and compiled "one after one".

2) Library requires glibc(libthreads, and others shared libs), and need to port it to bionic implementations...

3) It need to be integrated to libstagefright... I think it not to hard, because library implements standart OpenMAX IL 1.1 (ICS uses 1.0.1, but may be it has not many changes).

Anyone interested?

you need to fork these repo's - you don't have to download to your pc unless you make changes.

https://github.com/C...evice_zte_blade

https://github.com/C...-kernel-msm7x27

https://github.com/s...tary_vendor_zte (9.0)

https://github.com/H...tary_vendor_zte (7.x)

that will give you backups of the official 7.x and semi-official 9.0 stuff. for unofficial cm10 use KonstaT's repo's:

Thanks, repositories know them, did not know what it's like added to my account. Thanks, just had to give the fork button, OMG!

[Guest docck]

Today I read news about new possibilities of Freedreno: open source project for adreno GPUs http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE1NDU

Page of project: http://freedreno.github.com/

Will it helpful for us (of course when all'll be ready for use)?

[Guest Ganster]

Any instruction updates? As I see, android_device_zte_blade was deleted in latest revisions of ics branch too(I have an empty folder /device/zte/blade in alredy initialized sources folder).

So, I need to copy files from https://github.com/C...evice_zte_blade to this folder manually?

And what about command lunch cm_blade-userdebug? It still working, or I need to apply any patches?
