[ICS] [CM9] [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 for the Huawei Ascend G300 [ROM]

[Guest Dazzozo]

What? The G300? It is definitely a 7227a, I've done enough work with it to know that. :P

[Guest Davidoff59]

Think he meant the Pico/explorer.

What b8?? build were you flashing from Daz? Just tried b882 (didnt work) and am gonna try b884 next

[Guest Davidoff59]

So has that HWQril been pulled from the G300 or was it sold with it, May be worth asking dev to see what's going on over there

I haven't. I've been on B934 and previously B927 as I kind of figured that RIL wasn't going to work on either B8xx or B9xx, but obviously B8xx compatibility is now completely broken due to the framebuffer issue.

HWQcomRIL is pieced together by qiwu based on the Uicc stack. It was never in the stock ROMs. The stock implementation of RIL is a total mess and isn't even worth looking at. It's just Huawei hacking their extensions in to all parts of the telephony stack.

HWQcomRIL merely takes advantage of a CM invention that helps the devices with custom RIL implementations. CM "subclasses" the RIL so you can choose which class you want your RIL to be sourced from. They're single files and I have absolutely no idea how they work as of yet. I dunno, maybe the Explorer guys have the exact same RIL as us, which would defeat the "HW" part of the name.

Take a look over here, we are far from the first with a custom RIL class. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/tree/jellybean/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony

Though based on some recent discoveries I think the problem is not in HWQcomRIL, and that file (with a minor Jelly Bean change I've made) is actually fine.

Yeah, pretty sure that's incorrect, every other source says it's the 7225A. e.g.: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3073&c=htc_explorer_htc_pico

The fact the Explorer is 600Mhz would suggest it's not a 7227A as well.

Either way, it doesn't matter. The point is another device is using this with success, which means there is stuff that is absolutely identical in that device and it's not implemented by Huawei.

The link is probably MSM7x2xA.

[Guest Malthus]

Yeah, I figured as much, was just pointing out the correction on the off chance it made any difference.

[Guest Dazzozo]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's enough of a victory for me tonight. :P

[Guest carstenheuer]

Hey, gsm works with 2030 baseband??? :o

[Guest Dazzozo]

Yep.

[Guest carstenheuer]

Mr. Perfect :-D

[Guest wso277]

Does that mean you got the "phone" part working?

By the way congratulations on your work. Been following the thread although i dont understand some of it, and you're doing amazing work.

I've tracked down the source of HWQcomRIL. It's a slightly modified version of QualcommSharedRIL, which already lives in CM. The fun begins!

I actually have a source for this stuff now, and can see what qiwu changed which means I can actually maintain it.

[Guest unaszplodrmann]

That's a relief ;)

[Guest Malthus]

So hasn't qiwu shot himself in the foot by being awkward if it's credit he was after? Now that the RIL implementation is sussed surely Dazzozo's CM10 is going to be the ROM to get for your G300 and it's all entirely him to thank for it.

[Guest Dazzozo]

I don't think it was credit he was after. From all that I saw (and I think I was the most involved with the whole situation) I have an explanation that I can make sense of. I don't feel it's for me to really comment on, though.

To be honest, I really don't care for these politics. I just want the goddamn device to be running the latest version of CM and AOSP and such well. It seems people have only been problems.

I do feel it's fair for me to state that qiwu didn't really "reverse" the RIL implementation, he didn't write that whole file. He hacked QualcommSharedRIL to work. That's probably why it works for the Explorer guys, though QualcommSharedRIL would probably be a better fit for them, without our hacks.

In your face qiwi

[Guest Dazzozo]

I got curious, and decided to run off the QualcommSharedRIL stack without modification. I completely deleted HWQcomRIL.

Works better.

[Guest djuroue]

Great work, again! Even 1000 thanks couldnt thank enough for your effort man !

[Guest anything-but]

You watch,you`ll release a test build while i`m out at sodding work today where i can`t dl it! *reverse psychology ftw*.

[Guest djuroue]

Im on work where internet works flawless, so release it :) hehehehe.

[Guest skobywan]

Might be a new thread later :)

I bet we have a cm10 thread with 600 replies tonight. I can't believe Daz has Jb ported before huawei managed ics. Laughable really and really shows the benefit of the open source community.

[Guest Umrtvovacz]

I am still stunned by the sheer awesomeness android community has. Is it similar with Linux? If so, I can't wait till Gabe Newell frees us gamers from the shackles of Windows. (Gabe Newell - Head of Valve, wants all of 2500 games on steam port to linux)
