[DEV][ROM][8.1.] CyanogenMod 10 (Android 4.1.2)

[Guest KonstaT]

This is my port of CyanogenMod 10 for ZTE Blade. It is unofficial and unsupported by the CyanogenMod team. This ROM is mainly for developers/testers/advanced users - people who are aware that this ROM is incomplete. I'm really not interested in hearing whining about non-working things (and questions when they will be fixed), instead your ideas/input on the remaining issues is welcome. Sources and instructions are available in the second post for you to build CM10 yourself.

cm-10-20130108-KonstaKANG-blade.zip
deprecated, use cm10.1
md5:9a696d776d0dae0ea0d9800b60e55bf3

gapps-jb-20121017-KonstaKANG.zip
deprecated, use cm10.1
md5:9979601a6b32b0d4e147f5be79b4f01e

You'll need at least 160mb system partition for the ROM and gapps to fit. Both gen1->gen2 and G2 TPTs are available at Amphoras' site.

Working:

• RIL (mobile network & data)
• Wifi
• Bluetooth (& bt-tethering)
• GPS
• Audio (playback/input/routing/headphones/etc)
• Hardware acceleration and OpenGL rendering
• Hardware video decoding & encoding
• Camera (photos, camcorder & panorama)
• SD card
• USB-storage & adb
• USB-tethering
• Browser
• Touchscreen/multi-touch
• Sensors
• LEDs

Partially working:

• Project Butter - fake vsync events

Not working:

• Wifi tethering (use an external app, e.g. WiFi Tether for Root Users)
• FM radio

Sources:

• Device
• Proprietaries
• Kernel

Thanks:

• CyanogenMod team & everyone who's been working on CM10

1. Follow instructions on initializing a build environment up to a point of downloading the source code.

2. Download CM10 source code.

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
repo sync

3. Download ZTE Blade device config, props and kernel source from my github. Create a file path-to/CM10_WORK_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml and copy in following content.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="KonstaT/android_device_zte_blade" path="device/zte/blade" revision="jellybean" />
<project name="KonstaT/proprietary_vendor_zte" path="vendor/zte" revision="jellybean" />
<project name="KonstaT/zte-kernel-msm7x27" path="kernel/zte/zte-kernel-msm7x27" revision="jellybean" />
</manifest>

'repo sync' again.

4. Update ROM Manager & Terminal Emulator. (You have to do this again only when the apps have been updated.)

cd path-to/CM10_WORK_DIR/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts

5. Compile the ROM.

cd path-to/CM10_WORK_DIR/
. build/envsetup.sh && lunch cm_blade-userdebug
make bacon -j8

Use 'repo sync' to pull merged changes from upstream. Use 'make clobber' to clean the build environment. Repeat step 5 to do a new build. Sej's intructions on building CM9 might also help. Patches to CM10 source tree needed to compile (or add functionality). Copy the patches and cd into the directories respectively. To apply patch(es).

What about hearing about all the good work you guys are doing?Is dat ok to post? :P But you are right indeed people should stop whining about things not workig. Keep up the good work!

Do I manually "chmod 777 /data/radio/* && chown radio.radio /data/radio/*" in adb shell or terminal emulator after the ROM is booted up every boot?

Yes you have to do it on every boot

[Guest 幻]

Yes you have to do it on every boot

Can I make a script in init.d to make it dose that? My English is poor.

[Guest dejf]

Hi, Can I flash this ROM to 136MB /system layout? Thanks.

[Guest ZTR]

Some Screenies....

[Guest thecrazyguy]

Are the Gapps included or can we download the ones from ICS?

Nice work KonstaT!! will be testing this and post feedback..

[Guest ElrOnDPT]

Nice work!

What is your opinion right now on 4.1 performance on the current build? Where project butter is working, is it noticiable?

Cheers and huge props for the work! :)

[Guest bhush]

Thanks KonstaT,

Thanks Tilal6991

search for jellybean gapps, they are different, they include google now and many other things

[Guest sej7278]

nice one! seems i was patching far too much stuff in the mainline code, basically its just comment out srec and add the undef line to bionic, the dalvik patch got merged, i guess they fixed mdpwrapper. i hadn't noticed the wpa issues. plus your device and kernel tweaks.

cyanogenmod have added superuser.apk to the build now (and fixed the typo in the repo) as a prebuilt for the moment.

for the radio permissions you're probably best to add an init script such as lalit does for the skate

[Guest retrocat]

Thanks KonstaT, fantastic work as always ;)

[Guest ufizo]

So, right now we are using openGL hacks to get HW acceleration working... It this correct?

Like we had in ICS, before the adreno binaries for ICS were released?

[Guest sej7278]

looks like adding su broke the build again, seems they left LOGE/LOGD/LOGW in.

CM10 in Zte blade, it's amazing, thanks KonstaT, tilal, and others dev

[Guest KonstaT]

You can try. Init.d scripts are run at early state and I guess there isn't anything in /data/radio at that point. I tried making a service that is run on property sys.boot.completed=1 (couple of seconds before lockscreen is shown) but didn't have much luck with that either.

This would be a temporary hack anyway. I'd rather have it properly fixed.

Well, it isn't exectly smooth as butter yet. ;) It works quite well in many places but e.g. notification area and app drawer are still quite laggy. Yeah, there are some hacks that shouldn't be there (e.g. prebuilt CM9 binary). I'm sure it'll get better when more support is merged into CM10. To be honest I don't know how to verify how well the "project butter"/vsync is working. Hw acceleration at it's current state is Lalit's work, so you might want to consult him in this matter. :P

Yeah, most of the other needed patches got merged last night. Actually the wpa_supplicant patches are not needed to build, they just fix wifi on our device.

Afaik RIL doesn't work any better on Skate/Crescent even with those lines added. It's something else preventing the radio getting the permissions (something similar to this?)

Edit. ok, there's something new going on. Edit2. Yeah, that won't work. Edit3. lol, I take that back. :)

Sync your repo. Fix is merged (compiled just fine for me).

[Guest sej7278]

i think they're doing a "copy this from cm9" commit followed shortly afterwards by a "fix it for cm10" commit method with most patches.

my build broke half way so this isn't accurate, but it seems to be taking about 90mins to build as apposed to 70-odd for cm9, gonna delete out/ and try again.

edit: 80mins from clean, so only 5mins slower than cm9

Actually it does sort of work but there is a huge delay. It takes about half minute before SIM query is shown after the device is already booted. Still in search of better solution...

Does everybody's phone app constantly crash until PIN is entered? Or is it just mine because my operator is roaming on another network. It's this line where it fails. Index out of bound error on getting MCC value (operator country code).

[Guest ..Abel..]

quite good for first build ! good work !!

:)

[Guest Hirsch2k]

OMG! Cannot believe that CM10 is coming to our blades. Thanks tilal, KonstaT, sej and all the other developers for their great work. This is amazing!
