Has anyone tested the 1.5 alpha 2 kernel? How is the touchscreen working? Which driver is the best? 1.4 , 1,5 alpha 1 or alpha 2 ?

[Guest pinhe1ro]

mikeioannina is possible to fix failure sms when we send more than 320 characters in same sms? thanks

[Guest jogjadroid]

1.4 touchscreen is the best for me

it more accurate & sensitive than other

i never missed touch even when i used to write sms as quickly

I don't know. I haven't experienced this problem because I don't use this phone for everyday use. I will look into this but it's probably a RIL problem which is hard to fix.

why don't you try 160 character break? sure it will send the sms one by one but it's a fix I guess

imho, beta1 is better even with glitches, beta2 is hard to press and glitch every once in a while D: 1.4 was good but i think i had pointer/calibration issues.. but thats just me

[Guest anil_go]

nice alpha 2 is working fine for me in my dell xcd28, touch is better than previous version, not perfect but it is good ,lesser ghost touch,but some times screen moves toward right when app drawer button is pressed, screen rotation animation works good and smooth. overall it is a good working latest rom. thanks for good work, looking for next update :)

[Guest Raphael Machado]

I got a problem:

Isn't possible connect to the camera.

[Guest Raphael Machado]

I got a problem:

The camera is working now! lol

[Guest Mizahnyx]

RacerMod 1.5 alpha 2 in ZTE Racer w/3.2 MPixel camera:

Camera: Working

Accelerometer: Working

Adreno 3D GL driver: Working (tested with NativeEGLExample)

Touchscreen Calibration: I can now write without the stylus. That was not possible with the previous RacerMod 1.3 i had.

Thank you very much! Hands down the best thing that happened to my ZTE Racer.

The only quirk: My phone gets detected as a Gen2 model, but cannot run the Gen2 kernel, so i had to manually modify the install scripts to make it install Gen1 kernel and libs.

The phone arrived today, I'm going to start development again but my time is restricted because I'm studying for my university.

EDIT: I'm sending the phone to a local service center to solder some cables on the board for rs232 serial debugging to ease the kernel development. I tried this with my old phone but my poor skills ended up burning the board :P. So now I'm sending it to some professionals to be sure nothing goes wrong.

Great! Good lucky with that! :D

[Guest paulo_balduian]

Wow, this rom is wonderful, very good. touch screen calibration, everything is great. I was disheartened by the discontinuation of the rom for the racer, but now I am happy for this project, thanks mikeioannina. My racer is now going back to breathe; )

[Guest mikeioannina]

The cable is soldered on the phone, now I'm waiting for the rs232 usb adapter to hopefully start working on the kernel. In the meantime, I'm going to release a new version of RacerMod which will include the latest cm7 merged features.

[Guest lfernandes]

Good news, tanks for still developing for racer.

[Guest mikeioannina]

CyanogenMod stopped building cm7 few days ago, meaning cm7 is finally reaching its end of life. I will continue building cm7 until most major bugs are solved (wifi on freddo/carl, framebuffer). The only thing that stops us from going to cm9/10 is the kernel lcd related drivers, that's the reason I'm going to start development of a new kernel and hopefully we will have ics in the next few months.

[Guest Raphael Machado]

Good lucky mikeioannina! And thank you so much for all your work! ;)

[Guest mikeioannina]

Hello guys, today there were some massive gingerbread merges in CyanogenMod gerrit. Maybe tomorrow I will release build 1.6 of RacerMod (check first post for changelog)
