As i have asked in POST 291 please do not speak about ubunto in this thread, i have seen that there is another thread in general about this matter. Give information and ask questions in that thread.

Thanks already
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Sorry mate, I just want to be in a position where I can actually help out with this is all. :)

I have the build environment all set up now, but I couldn't get my head around the extract-files.sh and follow-up script. Mostly because it's 2am here. :D
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
I'm working on building a device spec for it. Here's a peek: (Note, most of it's wrong, but at least lunch is happy)

Once I've got it up I'll make a zip with all the files, from which ICS can theoretically be built. My buildbot will probably make a test build today, but I'll need to knock it down from 8GB to 6GB very soon.
[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
I sat around writing one for like half an hour, until I realized the one from CM7 works with very little adjustment.
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Which one? CM7's pyramid spec isn't available AFAIK. If you have it, let me know :)
[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
I thought I had seen it, but apparently it was just the notice that the source *would* be available. Sorry.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
If you do end up finding it, PM me lol. I just got the ICS source downloaded, trying to get vendor/device files together and get something booting and working.
[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
I tried searching around for even a custom release and all the source is "coming soon" so the best advice I can give is find something with similar specs. Not a fan of knowing someone is stuck with just that proprietary code that was released. It has very little room for customization as is.
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
I'm just going to combine the dinc specs for CM7 with the device specs of the maguro. Stay tuned.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
It's been almost a week.. Just wondering if there's any kind of update on how this is moving? By all means take your time. Just curious.. Maybe the OP can say something as to whats going on.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Actually, if you go through the thread, you can see alot of what the op has been updating us with.
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
A week? It's been two days... (since the source release).

If you want progress though, download the release in the original post, replace the boot.img with the one from Cyanogenmod 7.1 SELFKANG Alphafied 10 for HTC Pyramid/Sensation, and then set your live wallpaper to Maps. That's about all you can do 'til I (or someone else) attempt(s) the compile later.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
I'm working on compiling for Pyramid right now, check your PM's.
[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
If you get past libaudio, let of know. Seems to be where a lot of us got stuck.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Good luck :)
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Recompiling again using stoneyjonez' device config (thanks!) and will report back soonish. We'll probably open a thread if we get a properly working build.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
That would be wonderfull! Good luck with your build guys, let me know if there is anything you need help with.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
I think that's possibly the best idea I've seen in this thread for the past day. I'd like to see this device config made public knowledge, btw :)
[HTC Sensation] zeroprobe:
the ICS source code has been released.

Will this help this project?
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
We know that..

Its said millions of time in this tread
[HTC Sensation] inffy:
erm...what do you think the last 5 pages have been talking about :D
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
don't tell him.. now he's gonna ask for a ETA.

just let the developers put in their work and good things will come i believe so ;)
[HTC Sensation] threeeye:
LMFAO !!! I love noobs !!!

Q. What is the number 1 rule in XDA ?

A. Don't ask for ETAs !!!

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

If the libaudio is the same problem that the AOSP GB ROMs had, can you try to fix it with the GB AOSP sound fix ?
[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
Was that a problem compiling? I have honestly not heard about what the issue was then or how it was fixed.
[HTC Sensation] liquiddarknessvi:
Willing to test and review logs

Hey guys. I love how fast you guys are on this. If anyone needs someone to test anything out once you get a working build going let me know. I would be more then happy to document bugs and review logs. I am not a developer but I am in IT and I am very familiar with Linux.
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Anybody wanna pass the working tree you guys got?

At least i think you guys have one as you went from needing one to building :P lol

My help would probably be useless as it takes around 15 hours for me to build xD haha

but id like to help either way
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Compiling (again)... build failed due to Launcher2 overlay being (I think) deprecated. I'll make the device files public once I get permission and I get a successful build out of them :)

As soon as the above happens I'd love to :) Expect something soon (1-2 hours). Apparently we're booting with garbled graphics - my changes may fix that though. (I may also consider trying the SGS2 graphics hack)

EDIT: BUILD WAS SUCCESSFUL. I'm pulling to my local machine and getting ready to flash it now. I'm not sure I've been so excited about a ROM in my life.
[HTC Sensation] Jack E:
Good luck mate, fingers crossed!
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
It's 50% uploaded... image size 98.16MB. I'm nearly bursting from the waiting, my god.

EDIT: Ready to flash. Doing a final backup. It built a recovery.img but I dare not flash it, haha. I *think* it also built a kernel, but I'm not sure - if it doesn't work with this one I may reflash the CM kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
Congrats, hope it works.
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Okay, seriously? Haha.

Troll HTC Sensation: flashes everything else okay and quickly, takes longest to flash 2KB file.

EDIT: Actually fastboot hung on the device O_o I've done a full erase, and I'm going to try reflashing now, first with the CM kernel then the stock one. No luck booting yet.

[HTC Sensation] twistedumbrella:
5- that last one was just an f ;-)
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Do you guys really hit f5? Im lazy and just have mozilla refresh every 10 secs for me :P
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
Twisted! Don't think I've seen your name around since my days with the G1! Do you have a Sensation?!
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
f5f5f5f5f5f5fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

lol
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

That's the output of adb logcat under the CM kernel... so I think I screwed something up. :P
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
can you pass me the system folder you have?
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Sure, PMing it to you now. DO NOT flash recovery.

EDIT: and just so you all know, my build won't boot yet, but stoneyjonez' will, so if worst comes to worst I'll kang mine together with his and we'll get working graphics.

EDIT2: Alright, mine just booted with the CM kernel... mangled graphics just like stoneyjonez', and we still have a gorram cursor :(

Here's a logcat of that... going to try a stock kernel boot in a second too.

http://pastebin.com/HMQsNnNw
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Lol yeah i just did that lol

graphics are crap so far haha

ill check whats up with them :/
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
We're rebuilding for board msm8660, apparently changing that in build.prop helps a lot. Credit to stoneyjonez for the find (though he was following an earlier suggestion of mine I totally forgot about) :P
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Lol see and they say marijuana affects my memory... pfff
[HTC Sensation] threeeye:
No, it was not a compiling issue

It was a mismatch sound driver in the ROM...

try to do something with this audio patch...
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
status update

STATUS UPDATE:

1. Started with ICS port from OP.

2. Built AOSP 4.0.1 from source, combined with some device files from CM7 and others on XDA. At this point I had it booting fully, and much faster than the port, but with HORRIBLE graphics, everything looked distorted.

3. Based on suggestion from Zorlin, changed from msm8260 to msm8660 in build.prop (still not sure why it was like that to begin with). Now we have no more messed up graphics, but it doesn't boot FULLY. In other words, I could see from the boot animation that graphics are fine, but couldn't get past it.

4. At this point, I am re-compiling from scratch with some modifications. Fingers crossed!
[HTC Sensation] fejker:
I actually hit CMD+R or click the reload button in Chrome. :P
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
I'm so glad you guys are doing so well with this, and good luck I hope we have some ICS on our Sensations soon ;) I tried to get a build environment going, but apparently my computer is not up to par :(
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Good luck guys!!! I see we're a few steps closer to a test or maybe even a stable build hehe am keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers for you all that are helping with this:D God bless!
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
AOSP ICS source build thread started over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19418179#post19418179

I'll keep checking both threads, but I'll check the above thread way more because it's now the one for the source builds :)
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
With 3 great devs working on the aosp build ill drop development on this project.

Thanks everybody for the great support and feedback. Special thanks for t-mac and jasseycliq for assisting me on development and doing most of the research. And developping theirself.

As soon as study stress is over ill help the guys out on the asop build with the knowledge i have.

Mods please close this thread.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
in before lock to say: Tarends, you did a great job on this port. I think that if the source hadn't dropped far earlier than anybody had expected, it would have been fully working before long.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Development ended

Thread Locked
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Brought my Sensation to work - can't necessarily work on it, but I might do a new logcat dump of both boots in a little while.
[HTC Sensation] keawai:
Awesome!

Very excited to see how this looks! Keep up the great work!!
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for the honorable mention about the HD2 port but I really did not do anything special with it except get a booting version and try to help do research and then give my finding to the real devs. XDA Recognized Developer imilka really deserves all the credit for that port. I mean my work on it sort of got put on the back burner when we ran Into trouble even getting a port for the Sensation to boot. But I am working with trends and jassycliq both to get the Sensation port working.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
the race is to source hits... not to when htc brings out ICS

this sounds good, multiple people working on it and posting rather than one a-hole sucking for donations... keep up the hard hard work it will pay off in the end; if you dont beat source it will give you an awesome headstart over anyone else just waiting for source good luck!!!;)
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Once we can get calling and data working, ill be testing. Cheers
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
I'm testing & playing before that. It's more fun! :D
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Sorry guys, still trying to get used to Arch Linux. Very different compared to Ubuntu, but a lot more stable and faster. Only bad thing is that lack of guides, I'm not used to it yet lol
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Hey jassycliq have you gotten trends build to boot up to the set up menu yet? I have still not gotten it to boot up to the set up for me.
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Yeah, at first with firefox i kept downloading corrupt files so instead of saving, i opened it. Then i extracted it to wherever and zipped it back up to flash (reason to extract is because if you use open option it is just a tmp)
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
like this ? (my pic from older post) , or did you guys get further?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I am officially pi$$ed, I have downloaded and download, I have tried the suggestion by jassyclig (thanks for the suggestion by the way), And as of right now I have let my Sensation set with the HTC screen for close to 15 minutes.

I attached my logcat at the bottom, it is to big to post in the forum here. This is exactly what I have downloaded the google project site using jassycliq's suggestion with no changes what so ever. I used Internet Explorer not FireFox.

With out being able to get this to boot on my end it is one confusing, two hindering, and three frustrating. I don't blame anyone though it is just my domb luck probably.

Anyway to cover my bases, is everybody using Clockwork Mod Recovery or another custom recovery like Team Win's recovery? Here is my info.

I'm using 4EXT recovery
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I am doing a restore to my Sensation right now and then I will install 4EXT Recovery Control and flash that recovery.. I hope that solves my problem cause if not I will have to try to figure out why it is not booting on my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I got the new Recovery flashed (nice recovery too) but still no love, I took a look at the location you mentioned, but I have the icudt461.dat and icudt441.dat.

I will have to poor over the logcat and see what i might find there and also look into some other things. I noticed my HBOOT is newer than nory82688 my radio is also newer too. But the radio should not keep it from booting, the HBOOT will though I do believe.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Odd. Have you tried seeing if it actually flashed that file? Open up an adb shell window and navigate there manually. My next suggestion would be to look at recovery.log (dunno how 4ext manages that bit) and make sure everything copied across ok.

Your HBOOT is the same as mine, and I'm not having any issues. I've played with v0.03 from the other thread.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I told you 4EXT was nice. :D

I have HBOOT 1.7.1011

My son's phone has 1.7.1111

I s-off in July.

He s-off much later than me.

Like yours is very recent as well.

I'm not sure how you would change that.

When he did his s-off,I wondered why the two numbers were different.

:)
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Well I am doing a restore right now, my poor Sensation it has been flashed to and restored to hell and back over the night and the past week or so. Well the restore is actually done now. I will re flash the port later on today and try the adb thing. I need to let my battery charge as I am on lie 22% battery and all of the other 88% was used flashing and restoring my Sensation over the night. I have real life obligations to take care of in a little bit so I will just have to continue to be frustrated with the issue a little longer.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Thanks for the heads-up! Koush has some decent competition here.

I just had a play with it too. I can't see why a change in recovery would have any effect though. Odd.

T-Mac, which version are you trying to flash? Where did you get it from? I'll give it a go tomorrow if you're not having any luck still.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I have downloaded it from the original thread in the Sensation general forum, the Google project page and from a link that XDA Senior Member klaus27 messaged me with. So like I said it is a mystery to me.

Edit: When you guess boot into HBoot to go to recovery does it do like as quick scan for the PG58IMG that gives a no image found like four or five times then let you choose recovery?
[HTC Sensation] speedysilwady:
Hey T-Mac did you perhaps SuperCid your sensation? I remember having problems flashing roms when my sensation wasn't SuperCid
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,almost like its default is to search for a PG58IMG zip.

When it cannot find one ,it loads hboot.

On the other hand,when you put a PG58IMG zip on your sd card,it will find it straight away.

:)
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
Ok small update, I have been working on the nexus dump and i can get it to boot fully with no mayor errors, what is allot better than before. only problem is that it does not seem to get great graphics.

i get a black screen with with squares and one of them i can more. i think thats the pointer. dont have time to work on it today but hope that i can get some results later tomorrow or Thursday. wilil upload as soon as i can get decent graphics working.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Yeah , I forgot to mention I was supercid. And the port boots on my end
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
Sounds like exactly what happened with me :) Looking forward to seeing what you find.
[HTC Sensation] speedysilwady:
Awesome! Thanks man! Once you get graphics working, I think you may be able to disable any red boxes and pointers that might show up (they usually do in SDK ports) using Dev Tools APK and disabling them in the settings there. Im not very knowledgeable in development but I think you guys have a Google page yall are working on, maybe post the dmesg and logcat there and someone might be able to help?

Yeah I think thats the issue since he tried everything else.
[HTC Sensation] tarends:
I think i know what the problem is, just dont have time to fix it now. I have looked over the logs and noticed that the egl does not load the drivers so i have to change the config file. Currently i have placed all the files that need to be replaced with others in the vendor folder what should give a real clean build as soon as iget graphics working. Anyhow im on my way to dinner ill update as soon as there is any progression made.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Ok man look forward to hearing from you, have a nice time at dinner.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Have you supercid? If not, maybe you should like speedy said, maybe that's the issue. And then it'll boot hopefully.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah I have not super CID my Sensation so I will give it a try . But I thought super CID was just to be able to flash all ROMs for the device and not just the ROMs for the area the device originates from, you know flash all ROMs no matter what part of the world it is from or for. The zip file flashes fine it just does not boot up like it does for everybody else. Like I said I will try this and see what results I get.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry you feel this way about this thread and this port. And yes I can attest that you have been working on a port for a while now as you messaged me with the information several days ago. But trends did not want to just work on this by himself he wanted to let anyone help that wants to help, and hopefully this will speed the development up on this project. After all we are doing this for ourselves and the community. I as well as others would love to have you jump in and help out here as you may have things figured out that we do not. While I very much respect that you have not released your port yet and I understand you would like to have it working to the standard you have set for it before you release it. At the same time, and I am not trying to be antagonistic here, it sounds like you just want to have all the lime light yourself. I am a community person myself and don't care about if the lime light is on me for something I have done. A simple thanks in a thread is enough for me. Hope to see your port soon or have you share in your knowledge here, best of wishes to you.

Attention​

As anyone reading and keeping up with this thread knows I seem to be the only person having trouble getting this port to boot so far. Well good news I have it booting on my Sensation now finally. I owe a big thank you to XDA Senior Members speedysilwady, nory82688, and trends as I tried the suggestions by them and I got it to boot. I do not know if writting super CID was the fix or formating my system partition befor flashing was the fix, heck it may have been both but I sort of feel like it was writting super CID to my Sensation that done the trick. So in conclusion if you are having touble booting the current build you might wan to try the steps I just took to get it to boot. Also @trends you may want to include this info in your OP of this thread. Now maybe I can actually start help working on getting things up and going on this port. :D
[HTC Sensation] zorlin:
We have it booting with graphics, Sir Readlittle. The pure SDK port boots with graphics. What we're working on is combining that with the Galaxy Nexus dump to produce something more usable.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Nice ;) I'm so happy you got it booting now. Now you can see what I've been seeing. And thank you for the shout out
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Well I think it is because of the custom kernels or stock kernels from non US ROMs that get used with custom ROMs. That is the only reason I can think of that would require you to have Super CID on your Sensation. I mean after all that is what Super CID does is allows you to flash any ROM no matter what region it is from.
[HTC Sensation] speedysilwady:
Actually that's exactly it you're right its all because of the base kernel.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Right now the build has a working boot animation, is booting to the setup menu. But once it makes it there the force closes just keep coming. Trends says that the logcat says the SD card is working, and I can confirm that the logcat does indicate it works. But nothing real world to back that up yet. If there is more it slips my mind sorry, anybody else feel free to chime in.
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
The touch screen works as a mouse and the buttons found as party of the mousing area.
[HTC Sensation] jcarrz1:
Proof for the haters.

Here is a build BY ME that's actually UPLOADED that has the same status of the OP's galaxynexus-based port. I did this in 10 minutes. Sorry the boot.img probably won't flash (recovery status 7), make sure you extract a copy out of the zip and fastboot flash that afterwards. Sorry, the script is broken, forgot to fix b4 upload. (at least I think it's broken. Let me know, eh?)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

where boot.img is the one from my zip. If you can't figure this out, you have no business flashing. So just to recap: extract a copy boot.img from zip, flash zip, fastboot flash boot.

Im doing this for the same reason the OP made this thread in Development: to get more progress. However when devs don't have a base to work on that has partial functionality, what's the point of a thread in development? that just boasts about the progress they've made? Upload the darn thing.

No disrespect intended. Just suggesting a little follow-through next time.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0W9XLAUJ
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I am in the process of flashing right now.

Edit: I have copied the boot.img to my C: drive and re zipped the systemfolder and the META-INF but I still get the Status 7 in recovery.

Edit: Do I have to flash the intior thing via fast boot?
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
i flashed it and you were right, your boot.img was broken. right now im in the process of fixing my adb , something is wrong with it...
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
Wow. Nice work from the original poster.

CM 7.1.0 Alpha 10 + XDA
[HTC Sensation] jcarrz1:
I assume you're referring to me. Good spelling.

I did post my work unlike the OP. But think what you like.

Edit: Gillion has just edited his post to delete the objectionable comment. Obviously he didn't want it posted, so i've removed it from my quote above :) sorry for any confusion. I'm glad he changed his mind.
[HTC Sensation] jcarrz1:
Although clockwork doesn't like the boot.img, fastboot likes it OK. So flash in clockwork, IGNORE the status 7, and flash the boot.img in fastboot.

Thanks for testing it out!
