It's a natural occurrence, it's not an attitude just that when they're working on one thing and they become side tracked people on here complain, so they're developing for themselves as they should be, it'd be nice if a majority of them could be recognized as the developers they are but they're held to time frames they never themselves set.

[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
We dont need no stinkin' SDK port! Lol JK. But really, I think if we really want it to work, we should port it from the NS4G once they get it. Which i am assuming will be soon, since they did test ICS on the thing lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
We don't need an aosp port of ics. All we need is cm9. Which I think is more likely then a port from ns4g of aosp ics
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
True. January cant come soon enough.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
And the great thing is once they get it working on one device, we'll finally be part of the official list to get cm9...:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
With source being released, I'm guessing this will either die or change names to ICS source code port. I can't imagine an SDK port would hold a candle to source code port. Or, of course, CM9 will rock our Epics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
A source code port is going to take time for the mere amount of time it'd take to compile a single build of ICS depending on a persons processor and amount of ram. The kernel itself is double the size of GB, so for now it's best to enjoy gingerbread and keep ICS for our phone out of mind only due to the time it *may* take.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
Yeah, i read somewhere a comparison of compile times the various versions of android.. ICS has some pretty high requirements...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Yeah lol, I can at a first time (first compile with the tree) basis compile a gingerbread or cm7 kernel in 5 minutes and afterwards 20 or 30 seconds. ICS kernel to compile(failed one) took me 15 minutes just to fail. The actual build would be a lot worse.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Again, this process is not a simple one. Especially since the ICS is BRAND NEW, it's uncharted waters for everyone. Technically a person could use a hacked up GB kernel to try and use ICS, the same things are with this port, but unless someone has an i7 or anything with pure processing power Overclocked up the ass, it's not going to come for a few months ideally. Especially since GB development has just began.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
If whoever's working on this is still going though, then I reccommend using buildabot. Its possible, even without a beast computer, but the higher the specs, the better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
I'm not sure what the technical points of your comment are.

Compiling AOSP actually doesn't take very long. I would know, I used to do it.

It takes longer to repo sync it than to build it.

The only time it's annoying is when you have libraries installed that are different than Android requires and you have to change them and re-build. This happens if you just use Ubuntu and install the latest libs.

Anyhow, I'm going to repo sync 4.0 later and work on an ICS port for fun. I'm not going to help on the CM7 port because they're taking a waaay different approach than I would take, having done this all before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Would you mind sharing your insight on a more appropriate approach?

We all want CM7 to be top-notch and, well, if it's being done wrong, it should be done right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
I really didn't come here to argue.

I already discussed my thoughts in the CM7 thread and Decad3nce made it obvious he has no interest in discussing the status/approach to porting the code.

Suffice to say, I've worked for 4 years in industry porting Linux to various PPC and ARM networking hardware and helped with the HTC Touch Windows Mobile android port.

Anyhow, let's not get this off-topic.

Has anyone on the other forums synced the ICS branch and verified it builds without any kinks?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lys3rgic:
he wasn't arguing. he was asking a question you brought up. and would like to know if there's anything they can do better to make CM7 better.

just proves you're telling straight BS thinking that he was saying it to argue.

There's the suggestion and follow-up discussion. Moving right along..
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
I see your suggestion of rebasing against the crespo4g kernel (samsung.git) vs. merging with teamhacksung. I wouldn't say those two are "waaay different approach[es]" given that they would both naturally use the Epic GB sources as a jumping off point. I wouldn't even say it's a firm decision, since, if you (or anyone) were to get crespo4g sources to boot/work on victory that would greatly influence future direction since the hard part would already be done.

In any event, Android kernel development is largely orthogonal to the rest of the platform. I interepreted your comments as disagreeing with the direction of CM7 platform development as well. I take it that, that's not so?

I have a Core i7 970(6 core 12 threads) processor overclocked to 4.6Ghz but only 6 GB of ram. Can I help speed up with the porting ICS in anyway?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
Correct.

It comes down to the fundamental design differences of "doing it right" vs "getting it working by any means necessary". I'm a hardware person, so getting it working is more important. Comp Sci people tend to be of the "doing it right" nature..... in my industry experience.

I know they've hit some walls. I'm not familiar with the nature of the problem, but often approaching the problem from a different perspective gives a broader view of the hardware than otherwise.

With the HTC Touch, we did have the benefit of having hardware register information. Qualcomm documents are very hard to get......

As a natural basis, we're closer to the NS4G than anything else other than the fascinate which we wrongfully thought worked on the same touchscreen drivers. We basically have to gerrywrig(I know I spelt that wrong haha) our kernel into doing Olympic leaps blindfolded with an oompa loompa on it's back while humming the star wars opening scene theme song breathing like darth vader reading Shakespeare while base jumping from the empire state building without a parachute (lmao) for it to read more than two finger touch. And that kinda explains my frustration with this. Luckily if we ever get touch working with our own kernel, ICS has in it's own kernel support for our processor which is good in an ideal worlld. But lol kernel development on our phone in particular is fun but it's kinda infinite loopish when you're looking for similarities within our kernels to others.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Different touchscreen drivers however. NS4G is using mxt224.c. We're using QT602240.c with Cypress being linked to our touchscreen in a dirty way, an "only samsung" type way. Cypress has control over our capacitive keys, and our hw kb keys. So, any attempt to completely get that to even benefit us would be null and void until we understand it a lot more. ICS reads and defines keys differently than all prior versions of Android, so it's a new experience to even get them to work how we'd like them to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I was speaking to the person who said that the GS2 touchscreen worked. He thought it would be a better option to port from there. I know that we cant have touch easy, first because it is an sdk and is made for mouse clicks and second because our drivers are not similar and a lot changed.

Hi.. I'm very new to this and just got an unlocked Crazy Johns GS2:

- GT-I9100T, version 2.3.3

- PDA DU-KH1

- Phone DU-KF4

- CSC VAU-KG2, 11 Aug '11

Is it possible to get Kies to see my phone as unbranded and for a region (eg. Poland?) where Samsung has officially released version 2.3.5, so I can update via Kies (rather than risking Odin, flashing and maybe voiding warranty) - for example by changing the CSC?

To do that, would I first back-up (Kies and Google sync), then key in *#272*<my phone's IMEI># and then select a region code (?Poland) and click Install? Any help would be greatly applreciated.

(I thought I'd posted a reply.. sorry if it posts twice)

Thanks for your fast reply and advice. I'd read about Odin but was worried I couldn't revert properly for warranty. Can I first take an "image" (like on a PC) to restore if needed? Would the exact setup (firmware, CJ/Voda apps, carrier settings) be available for restoring (there'd be so many variations worldwide how could they all be available)?

I'll take your advice, thank you, but for the record is what I initially asked viable - to "trick" the OTA process or Kies into seeing my phone as unbranded Polish and providing an official update (and for warranty, change the CSC back, re-update)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oja1:
OK, I've downloaded Odin v1.85 and XWKJ2 (pda XWKJ2, phone XXKI4, ver 2.3.5, 21 Oct 11, XEF/France) and the related XWKJ2 Stock Kernel.

However what would be the right "restore" firmware, in case I need a warranty repair? My phone is an unlocked Crazy Johns GS2, GT-I9100T, originally:

pda DU-KF4

phone DU-KF4

csc VAU-KF4 (ver 2.3.3, 29 Jun 11)

..and Kies "properly" updated it to:

pda DU-KH1

phone DU-KF4

csc VAU-KG2 (ver 2.3.3, 11 Aug 11)

..so either official version would be OK, but can anyone suggest where I could get one? Otherwise I guess I'll have to wait for an official update :(
