[EVO 4G Android Development] Psyki:
First of all, great work to those who have been doing actual work. It would be nice if we could get a small progress report every couple days or so. Nothing major, but pretty much any update always makes us feel better.

Checking this thread every day is pointless if it's all a bunch of people speculating about other phones and their porting progression.

Can we please limit the conversation to a) progress updates, or b) issue reporting for individual builds?

A lot of people don't have time to sort through pages and pages of banter about how some other device is doing or whatnot. Go look at that phones ICS thread. Seriously.

I'm sure the people developing ICS for the EVO are well aware of what devs for other phones are doing. Frankly it's kind of irrelevant. If ICS boots and works on phone XXX then great. That doesn't do **** for our EVO 4G phones.

Sorry for the rant, really.

Edit: this will sound harsh, and I'm sorry, but the posts of "Let me know what I can do to help" really don't do much help at all. If you don't know what needs to be done, then having someone tell you what needs to be done won't suddenly clear the air for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jaredthegreat:
No offense of course, but the people that are telling us about ics progress on other phones is helping.. it at least gives us a insight of which devices has what working and ideas of how to get ics working with EVO's firmware correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sednafx:
The devs don't have time for that. Be patient. When something is worth reporting they will update the OP.

No. At least until a build is released.

It's does help when we share similar hardware.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Blokgang:
For a guy who's preaching to limit the conversation you had an awful lot of nothing to say and took up half the page
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSocalGuy79:
No need to sort through this thread to see if there is an update. Once something new is released the OP title will be changed.

Flash is coming by the end of the year, apparently.
[EVO 4G Android Development] The Impaler:
A build was released. Not very easy to work with in my personal experience with the rom, but it was indeed released.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sednafx:
True. I guess I should have said until a current source based ROM is released since the sdk port has been abandoned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrWhite1127:
I don't understand why everyone is so uptight about us cracking some jokes and having fun. I'm pretty sure no one wants to keep everything strictly buisness 24/7/365. Don't get me wrong , I love my EVO and all the cool things that devs are doing but I don't see the point in harrassing and demanding progress reports all the time. That will drive a person mad. And woul every one like to sit in a cubicle all day every day and be told "NO OFF TOPICNESS UNTILL WORK IS DONE! I WANT PROGRESS REPORTS EVERY TEN MINUTES UNTILL COMPLETE! AND BTW, YOUR WORKING FOR FREE!". No one wants to hear that from a boss at work all day long. So I don't see the harm in some comic release to help ease the frustration of a difficult task......just my 2cents.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jr71x:
Quick question, I've been playing with this claystone launcher, is it ics native, cause its pretty sweet, thanx;-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jaredthegreat:
That's not from this Rom, that's a cm7 Rom themed and modified.

:eek: No he didn't. It would suck to work for this guy, cause he would want a progress report every 10 minutes.:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] SimranSingh:
Instead of this being ported from the SDK, why don't you start to compile a version from the ICS source code?

[EVO 4G Android Development] revthanki:
Ladies and gents, hi!

I'm a visitor from the HTC Desire forums. We have some basic identical hardware to you, same snapdragon 1GHz + Adreno 200 graphics, same RAM etc. Some big differences, GSM HSPA rather than Wimax.

We got a pretty functional build of ICS from source going. Basic functionality is there but we're missing some biggies: like Camera, Sensors, HW accelration . Making great progress. It may even be the case that HW Acceleration could be unlocked soon since the ZTE Blade guys might have cracked it (we have the same graphics chip).

You can find our work here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355660 . You might find it helpful in improving your ROM. We could also use some extra skills in the quest to get this running perfectly.

Just to make clear, I'm a tester, not a dev but we have some very good guys working away in IRC right now.

Last week I posted a thread in general that linked to an article about mobile flash no longer being supported/developed by adobe. I'm pretty upset about all that. I, personally like having flash on mobile.

edit: just read that article (the one linked in this thread) and feel a little better, but still not entirely encouraging (for those of us who like flash). Sounds like nad bews.

This thread should be closed page after page of non development talk seriously you know there is chat rooms for that type of thing. Flame me if you want for speaking the truth.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jaredthegreat:
Retention?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrWhite1127:
Yeah every cell Carrier has a retention department. If your upset just ask for retention. There job is to hand out free or discounted stuff unroll your satisfied. So you don't jump ship to another carrier. They try to RETAIN the customer.

Just making sure

If I backup my EVO using CWM before installing ICS, I can still restore back to CM7 right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Truballa4real7:
Yeah just restore after in cwm
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deathsnuggle:
Why do people use cwm? is it because of room manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Towleeeie9613:
Haven't tried it yet. I was going to once it was in a few versions, but I was wondering if you were considering keeping the soft buttons that are on the Galaxy Nexus. It seems as though having two buttons on the bottom of the phone that don't exist on the original phone that ICS was modeled for would be troublesome.
[EVO 4G Android Development] guih:
That and probably because its the recovery you start with (at least, I did). Amon Ra all the way, though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Deathsnuggle:
I started with amon, tried cwm too many error messages, amon ra is the best
[EVO 4G Android Development] Truballa4real7:
I really like twrp seems to work the best for me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jr71x:
I concur with twrp but I did have an issue with one Rom where it became unstable right at the end of flash, which was really strange...
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Twrp is nice because you can compress backups for space. Though you can't flash amend scripted files, which a lot of people still use, so they use amon ra.

And I still live peeps. :)

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luciferii:
is there any news as to how far ICS has come since the original release?
[EVO 4G Android Development] newtonfb:
I am wondering this also....the first page hasnt been updated since 11-11 so i didnt know if it was and wasnt stated. Is it good enough to work as daily driver? i dont care about camera i just want to use internet, call and text pretty much
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrWhite1127:
Well. It seems that its currently still in development. What a shocker
[EVO 4G Android Development] newtonfb:
Ya i got that, but what works and what doesnt. Is everything on first page up to date?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrWhite1127:
Everything on the first page is current of the alpha release. It's not stable enough to be a daily driver.

please take the time to read through the posts, instead of just being lazy. These guys are hard as work. Be patient, refrain from useless comments (though those humorous food jokes were awesome!) unless it helps aid in a little comic relief between getting this code solid!

I'm working on getting either an ubuntu VM working or jsut running eclipse on my win7 machine to start jabbing and prodding at this. It's been a while since i've dug into the code and i think this is a great opportunity to get back in. Anyone have a better preference (win7 or ubuntu vm)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ava0425:
I've read through the pages and I didn't see progress update for like 20 pages. I wasn't being rude at all (Not asking for an ETA), and it wasn't a useless post. I was wondering how the developing is going. I'm sure others would like to know too. Sue me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lilman355:
Guys I really think this is great! I would like to personally thank all of you for your support to the Evo 4g! Unfortunately the death of the Evo is near and all too real. But you guys have kept me on this phone since launch day. I love you guys. Keep up the good work. And God bless!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
The best thing to do would be to check the OP, as the updates will be there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rchampagne:
If we keep having awesome devs like this, i dont see any special reason to get a new phone until there is something that I MUST have and need.

3D? eh overrated. dual core? haven't needed it yet. NDC, note widely implemented yet. Sooo, until then rockin the EVO and showing all these other kids on the block that my phone can still do more than what their stock does outta the box :-D :cool:

no offense or anything, just dont see why it cant be listed anywhere

perhaps I have something to offer or just am curious-anything really.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teh roxxorz:
Because the changelog of the two alphas tell you what's working. Some things are clearly going to be broken, such as 4G, possible usb hosting, tethering, ect. They know what's broken, as its an alpha, so things are knowingly broken.

It would probably be helpful if the OP mentioned exactly what the knew wasn't working - so we can decide if we want to give it a whirl. For example, if WiFi is out - I'm not interested in testing it until it is working (since my phone is 99% WiFi usage).

Just saying.

The problem with making the list of what doesn't work is that it would be quite long... As it was said pretty much all that works is touch screen and sound. You can browse around the apps and get the general feel and that's about it not a daily by far unless you just look at your phone... Haha

Not sure what is and isn't working in your build, but here are some things I did for mobile service, wifi, and bluetooth.

For mobile service change the supersonic overlay config.xml networkAttributes to match the maguro style (I haven't looked at wimax yet).

<string-array translatable="false" name="networkAttributes">
<item>"wifi,1,1,1,-1,true"</item>
<item>"mobile,0,0,0,-1,true"</item>
<item>"mobile_mms,2,0,2,60000,true"</item>
<item>"mobile_supl,3,0,2,60000,true"</item>
<item>"mobile_hipri,5,0,3,60000,true"</item>
</string-array>

Changes in init.supersonic.rc:

For wifi dhcp: remove trailing eth0 at end of service, set service to class main.

For bluetooth: chown bluetooth bluetooth /dev/ttsHS0 and chmod 0770 /dev/ttyHS0 (not sure if the second is necessary). Add hciattach service to class main.
