Guest afsar Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Google has announced dat kitkat will be compatible with all low end smart phones with same specs as the liquid! So is there a chance for us to get a bite of the kitkat?
Guest noizyotr Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Maybe when cyanogenmod release its kitkat
Guest piernov Posted November 10, 2013 Report Posted November 10, 2013 These phone surely don't have the same chipset (QSD8250) as the acer liquid. AFAIK it's the only device with that chipset which has gone so far (getting CM10). But now, the main problem is the kernel. For exemple, to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2) on the acer liquid, we have to update the graphics driver, which need an huge amount of changes to backport it to the 2.6.29.6 kernel. (which the liquid use). In fact, in order to get Android 4.2, and more especially 4.3 and now 4.4, we need to get at least a 3.0 (3.0.100 for exemple) kernel to work on it. Currently, the most up to date kernel we have is the 2.6.35, and doesn't work perfectly and only with the original Android 2.2 ROM. So it needs really a lot of work but the acer liquid community isn't active as the CM9 ages (which also needed a lot of work).
Guest BadBoyKilla Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 However I've seen that 4.4 has been ported to HTC HD2 with a 2.6.29 kernel ! And it's quite working !!
Guest Spacecaker Posted December 24, 2013 Report Posted December 24, 2013 There are tons of Low end device Check the androidarmv6 team they ported CM10.1 cm10.2 cm11 to a ton of Low end devices with 2.6.35 Kernels and all are quite working good but indeed graphics driver need updates and takes ton of times even on high end device acer cloudmobile we gave up on it

Will you be working on new Android 4.4 rom?
Guest Spacecaker Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 So its portable on Acer Liquid. Will you be working on new Android 4.4 rom? its portable offcourse u only need the knowledge of kernels and such wich i dont have adn i wont be working on it as i gave up on it :/
Guest piernov Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 But we only have a 2.6.29.6 kernel working. We also have a 2.6.32, but it's far from working with Android 4.x. And the 2.6.35 doesn't even fully work with a stock ROM. (didn't look at it, but some problems might come from the fact that using 2.6.35 kernel should require Android 2.3) Currently with the 2.6.29.6, we have KGSL 3.8. I think we would need to update it to 3.14 along with the binary blobs to be able to boot a newer Android. I already took a look at that, but I'm not a kernel dev at all, nor even a good C programmer… So when I tried to backport a newer version of the graphics driver, it was just failing. (by the way, the newer graphic driver also uses newer functionnality from 2.6.35 kernel and maybe above for exemple so they need to be rewritten to work on 2.6.29.6) Graphic driver may not be the only thing needing update. To conclude, yes it's portable of course, but it needs good knowledges of kernel development, lot of time and a huge amount of work. And better than trying to backport all the time stuff for 2.6.29.6 kernel, we should rather try to get a fully working 2.6.35, then 2.6.38, then 3.0 kernel. Then starting from here we would normally have all the needed stuff to run Android 4.4 on our device. (but, after that we should also try to update to 3.4 since 3.0 is now deprecated, if we want to be able to update Android in the future)
