[DEV][ROM] SlimKat with display-caf

[Guest luca020400]

News about camera ??

[Guest chil360]

Just finishing another build. If all is OK, I will push the code to github and upload the rom.

[Guest luca020400]

Yes, I've noticed that. Can you make a list of the OMX libs that don't work - then we can stop them being installed. If we do that, then we should have a rom that fully works but with only software decoders.

 

Next, I'm going to port the prebuilt chromium patches (by Omni) to Slim. Chromium webview takes so long to build so this will speed up the build massively!

Do you have big ram consumption at the end of building? Because i do and it slow down build. I got 2gb ram + 2gb swap. Any sugestion? Just don't say buy more ram :) Edited October 28, 2014 by Y300-0100

[Guest luca020400]

Aospa uses prebuilt chromiuim ;)

 

All the OMX are bugged :(

No one is working

MX Player + ARMv7 NEON codecs + S/W decoder can run every video

Did you try to increase swappiness?

[Guest chil360]

Near the end of the build, it starts linking libwebviewchromium.so which takes up huge amounts of ram and slows everything else down. I would increase your swap to 6gb this should help a little.

[Guest luca020400]

4GB should be enought

And increase swapinnes

Camera updates pushed to github - changes in proprietary_vendor_huawei  & android_device_huawei_msm7x27a-common 

 

New build is uploading now will be available here when it's done - SlimDEV-u8833-4.4.4.build.8.9.20141028-CHIL360.zip.

Yes, it is

Now just insted of slimkat type experimental and go

YouTube isn't working for me

Video Playback is bugged so every video cannot be played

@chil360 : Can we build using display-caf and media-legacy ??

Edited October 29, 2014 by luca020400

[Guest chil360]

My experiments with the modified (legacymod) frameworks_av - see here - suggests that we need to work on frameworks_av not media-caf/legacy.

With this framework_av and TARGET_QCOM_LEGACY_OMX set then videos will play but with the wrong color format.

 

Black screen & chromium black boxes - looking in logcat I see ion/gralloc out of memory messages. So, I need to tweak the kernel to reserve more memory or maybe there is a memory leak somewhere.

The camera doesn't work in aospa ( cannot find camera and stock camera isn't incluede ) :(

This can help?:

I know, it's a different hardware and code, but I refer to the concept of how they made ​​it work.

These are the changes that are now part of legacymod/frameworks_av that I have been experimenting with. It's good to read the history of these changes though.

[Guest juanpablocastillo]

Ok, other question:

If LG has updated the L7 II to KitKat, they were used the display-caf and media-caf repos for it, right?

So, the OMX libs from the KitKat ROM of LG should work in the phone due to the similar specs, If LG has worked in that form.

I think Luca already tried that and it's not working.
