Lol, that is one of the issues I grouped with all the display related bugs. Trying to get a decent rendition of this tile rendering to fix a lot of that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Thanks for this twisted! I really like the work you have been doing. And is there particular reason you stated "FML" in your compile? lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It was the 7th trial in a row working on getting libtilerenderer in the frameworks. The messages get a little degraded at that point.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
Ah, so that was the reason. Face Palm right there.

Thanks for all your work twisted. Things are looking and working well. Is there any reason why things look and feel on the small side? Icons seem small. It also seems to be creating some weird sizing side effects in different Apps. (I suppose that is the apps fault) Earth doesn't work at all FC's then after the FC the page that earth is on in the app drawer just looks like someone exploded the app icons.(Due to hw-accel I assume, I think is was mentioned earlier.) Also, I noticed that when I tried wifi tethering(even though data doesn't work) it will kill the ability to turn on wifi. I'm getting ahead of the build and myself I know but just thought I could make you aware.

I am on the 12/28 expr. build.

Thanks again.

Epic timestamp check!!!

Hey Twisted, loving the most recent timestamp! at least ur work isnt half azz tho! keep on truckin bro! looking forward to data still! btw, if i make a hefty donation would that speed up the data fix any??? i know that question was prolly a long shot, but i know im motivated by money!!! lol

~DiazKyubi~
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
If I could use it to pay off HTC for some source it might, but honestly there is only so much I can do with what I have, so it really isn't my choice how fast it goes right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
Ok. So to answer some of my own questions above. Some apps aren't yet updated to 4.0 and therefore won't use all the real estate provided. Also the only reason I asked about the size thing is that when you use the home screens in portrait you can see bits of the other icons on the other home screens. Thanks for monitoring the 2 forums and keeping them up-to-date.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] davwman:
Not sure if this was brought up or not. I know the tbolt has issues getting data because of ril issues, but would anything from the Eris provide any help. They have data working on it right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tburns:
I belive its because of the LTE, and man I love my Eris but it looks so small now lol. Have it running workshed's latest rom atm. It took awhile for the Eris to even get root compared to other devices just got to be patient. Things will come in due time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
Data

He was saying the eris already has an ics rom with data(just wanted to make sure we were on the same page). So maybe that could be helpful to us. The eris' RIL isn't complete either. They are having trouble with MMS. Whether or not the LTE is a problem with porting some of this is another question.

DroidVicious is working on the RIL. Writing it all with very little to go on. I'm sure he knows about the eris' data already though. The devs are in constant contact and, for the most part, play nice together. They are working hard to get it out to us.

Also,

New Compile Started:

Fri Dec 30 14:44:15 EST 2011

Compile Information:

Updated more of EVERYTHING

Yea!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] davwman:
That's what I was saying, thanks for the clarification. Also just want yo state that I am in no way being pushy, just trying to be helpful. I'm in and out of different sub forums all day and noticed the Eris with ics.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
I got ya. You were helpful, at the very least I gained some knowledge and there's always a shot maybe the devs don't know about it. Hopefully my post wasn't viewed as hostile. Maybe i need to work on my phrasing to make it more user friendly, lol. (yeah I laughed at my own joke. What of it?, jk.)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kidhudi:
What are you refering too? there is a build WITH data?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
yes, an eris build

Yes. There is an eris (the phone, not the developer) ics alpha build with working data. I found it(the forum) by searching :). The idea was brought to my attention from an earlier post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
OpenGL enable/disable

With this build:

Sun Jan 1 06:22:42 EST 2012

Please Allow 30-45 Min.

Notes About The Compile

Test webkit "true" fix

OpenGL enabled and disabled worked in the browser. Web pages look great. Though it seems things have slowed down. I noticed in the the homescreen transitions( looks like a 2-step transition) and when using the keyboard it was slow to react.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tburns:
Yeah team suicide has been working on it however one of the devs had a tragedy before the holidays. Ive ran it on my Eris for awhile.

Keep up the good work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
From twitter:

Paullie_Vicious

@RootzWiki I officially have ICS 4.0.3 MIUI V4 running on the HTC Thunderbolt!!!

Now that he has this he will probably have plenty of incentive to get the RIL working for 4.0.3 which I think should work for twisted build. If I'm wrong someone correct me please.

I also heard that twisted is getting close to the camera working and that he has submitted code to CM9.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] microdot:
I noticed on team bamf 's website that they also have a version on ics in the works. Anyone know what the difference is as far as progress? Hopefully they (devs) can work together and get ics going. I really have the most admiration for all devs. I don't know how you guys do what you do but keep up the good work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
They teamed up with ProTekk. Something about a shared hate for my work and thinking that a dev with minimal contribution teamed with a group of Sense-only developers were going to take over Thunderbolt ICS. They still think its a competition, though, so its good motivation for them to actually provide something beyond Twitter updates.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] microdot:
I apologize for my post, i was unaware of the animosity. Seems like you are doing pretty well on your own though so....

Keep up the awesome work
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
No animosity, they have just been trolling my work on RootzWiki. Usually the day I fix something they make a few distasteful posts, and then fade back into the background with blogs and similar fixes. Honestly I'm hoping they do fix data regardless of motivation. Means I can fix camera and they can stumble across the code to end up with a working build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ryanmo5:
In the end its about getting ICS running on the thunderbolt but still we all know you've been doing all the grunt work trying to bring this to the thunderbolt. Great work and good luck with the Rom, loving it so far!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
^Absolutley I really appreciate how much time and effort you have put into this rom. It makes me really happy how there are constant experimental builds being built. Keep up the great work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
How can I download experimental builds with the new system? I saw the compile information but no download link.

*Edited- nevermind it was fixed, thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] justin654:
From getting a taste of ICS from Twisted builds. I went ahead and went back to my Incredible with ICS. Then realized I hated the small screen and just went up a step to my old Incredible 2. Loving it. :) Keep up the great work Twisted!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Dinc has wodking data, arent these phones pretty similar? Or does 4g screw with data on ics?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] intender:
Where does the work stand right now. Is there a lot of code still to be written and debugged or are you mostly putting files together for hardware support.

I don't know much about compiling a Rom, but I have some experience with coding. It's been about 5 years but if you need someone to pour through some code looking for errors I will do my best. I am assuming the code on github is updated when you make a new build. If so just let me know if you need some help, and where you want me to start. I stay at home with my son so I have time to burn some days.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
If you are brave... the camera code we have is fubar. Very fubar... lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Wingman520:
the dinc is only 3g so that'd be why you can't make it work on the thunderbolt

the 4g in the thunderbolt is the reason data doesn't work... from what i've read it's unique code for the tbolt and there is no source for it so they would have to make the RIL (radio interface layer) from scratch or try to find a way to reverse engineer it to work on ics
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Kinda what i figured, but thanks for explaining better. I know on my dinc it really worked very nice, just no cam, but damn nice. Cant wait to try it on here. So would a leaked version of ics for the rezound possibly give us what we need?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Wingman520:
Good thought but I don't think so since the tbolt is the ONLY device that does calls with Internet like the i*hone does on vzw so I have no idea if it'd be of any use
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scook9:
The rezound pretty much has an identical radio design to the TB......it uses the qualcomm snapdragon modems on the SoC for voice (CDMA) and an MDM9600 for EvDO and LTE
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thoward93:
So happy this is out of the alpha stages. Let the refining begin! I'll flash once data works, but should i post bugs here or elsewhere?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Here is fine. Things are a little delayed right now though. Personal stuff can't be put off any longer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Xaikar:
I am really looking forward to this build. I switch to the galaxy nexus but I gave my brother my tb. I am rooting for you I know you can get data working on this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] markalyea2:
I'm liking the no data beta 2, no huge issue here other then camera.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Camera is finally building, but still doesn't work. Still trying to make it do both.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kitten Mittens:
So far it's way smoother than the Alpha build I tested last, once data is working this will be great. My one hiccup is that I can't figure out how to get my USB controllers to work. I was under the impression that Ice Cream Sandwich supports USB host, and my adapter/controller setup certainly works with Honeycomb tablets, not sure what's wrong here. Is USB host not ready in this build?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not yet. I didn't update to the new usb drivers quite yet. Still using an older kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kitten Mittens:
I'd like to know when this is fixed, thanks again for all the hard work on this!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Is something the matter, this is longest you've gone without an experimental build. :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Haven't had time the last few days. Later tonight I should finally be able to get back to modifying the camera files from rapvm, just wrapping up some stuff.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Oh awesome, thanks! :) I'm just happy you're not suddenly stopping development like slayher did with cm7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
From the little I've heard, he didn't really get a choice in the matter. When you get deployed I don't think "but what about Android?" really makes them say nevermind.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iflip:
AWESOME!!! this function will be the only reason for me to flash an ics ROM and stick to aosp. Perhaps the blue ics can cure me of green sense fever.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Deployed, as in the army? I had no idea, my bad then.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] babybacon:
This may or may not help, but awhile ago, before the touchscreen drivers started working properly(where we needed to move the visible touchpoint around on the screen), I actually received a telephone call and a few text messages. There was no audio and it was took forever to get to the call, but it did recognize as a call.

Also, forcing new APNs with the same statistics as the programmed ones seem to do nothing to help.

I am loving the work, you are awesome, keep it up.

ICS MIUI

I just DL'd Droid Vicious' ICS Miui build from twitter and sms and calls are working. No data though. @Paullie_Vicious is his twitter. I didn't want to steal his link but he needs testers. It is miui so i don't know if he's using a different RIL or what. I was hoping a Dev way more intelligent than me could use this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrkite38:
Twisted and vicious are already acquainted. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
Right.

Yeah, I know they are. :) This build for the tbolt on DV's twitter dropped like 11hrs ago on twitter and DV doesn't even know if anything is working on the build due to not being activated. Idk if Twisted has an activated tbolt or not and even knows about the build. Also Twisted doesn't have a twitter so idk if he's following DV or not. I'm just trying to put out as much help as possible. Just trying to be a good little 'mep' (yeah, an odd todd reference. it's so 5 years ago). Maybe this was all an exercise in foolishness, but oh well. There are no builds on the tbolt that have acquired calling/sms but MIUI to my knowledge.

Does this help?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DirtyBubble:
Just a heads up but no reason to post links to leaks when dev's usually already have it before we know about it not to mention the people that has been spamming links to it on rootz
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chrizzl3:
What is the difference between "experimental" and "milestone" builds? Is the milestone a varified build? Thx in advance for any response----chris
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
Think of milestone like Big changes that the Dev feels like he's going to keep and should be fairly stable. And Experimental is bleeding edge of the bleeding edge. He's been changing stuff maybe it's broken something maybe some functionality has been acheived. I just flash the Exp. builds but that's just me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Turd Furguson:
Is ril working in the rezound leak?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Something new is ready to be played with. The solution to the black screen is to lock and unlock the phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
The camera is free at last.

I know you've been working hard at this. Thanks and I hope you can iron all the bugs out. Amazing!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] leftfieldhero:
I'm just a wannabe

I went over to the rezound leak at a couple of places. Looks like the RIL was not included but I'm just a wannabe so don't take my word for it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Um.. what does overlay support mean, like Sense?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not directly. How the vendors add stuff like camera and specialized hardware to an existing build is through an interpreter library, or overlay. I am trying to merge the support offered by CM with the version needed by the Sense camera.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brentslim:
When I install this it gets stuck on the HTC screen, I've tried everything. Anyone know why it might be hanging up?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Full wipe? Downloaded again to make sure? If you can pull a logcat during boot I can see if there is more I can do.

Just in case:

Open a command prompt, terminal, or shell. cd to the folder you want to save to. adb shell logcat > logcat.txt let it run for about 10 seconds and close the window to stop the log.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brentslim:
K ill see what I can do. I did a full wipe and have tried it prolly ten times. I tried using boot manager with no luck either, gets stuck same place every time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] i'manoob:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Okay, so your are using the CM camera. I would love this to be more similar to CM or stock 4.0 rather than sense. Great job, great progress!

Deal with data

So i've been following this thread not necessarily to find a stable build but to download a version where data works. It's clearly stated he would more than let us know when it's available bu why change the name to leave me questioning then? lol i'm confused is data on in these builds? From no Data beta to Muti-Device beta 3...maybe it's just me. Anyways i'm downloading because i cant wait and need a peak. Plus my brother has a nexus 4G and keeps flashing screenshots to me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The name was changed because on some of the devices the same source is built for, data does work. Just not this one yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Can someone test camera and voice with this kernel?

http://db.tt/lcXmLkaF
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dameon45:
Thanks for answering me question. This build is really nice! It's almost an everyday build. Screen scrolling was a little sticky but some overlooking would kill it. I really can't wait for this to be finished.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Doing this now I'll let u know what happens
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
With your custom kernel:

Okay voice doesn't work at all, and force closes any application trying to use it. The camera though, was a little funky. At first it didnt show anything on where the camera should be displaying the environment. Regardless, I tryed press the button as if I was trying to focus (holding down), nothing(although I later found out it did take a picture at that time, even though there was no display of it). I went out, and force closed it and tried again, nothing. I tried pressing the buttons in random sequences, where finally the environment showed up. I took a few pictures of stuff. You can see it makes the top portion really choppy. In the meantime of all that, it would the system like 5 force closes to actually start the camera (not to mention the system force closed it self a few times too). Lastly, the gallery thumbnails are mix matched with the real pictures.

On a side note, during setup, some text was really choppy as well, also displayed below.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1946396/Screenshot_2012-01-20-02-03-29.png

I tried taking a screen shot of the non working camera, but it would force close systemui each time, imagine it the same way above except black for the environment.

EDITED: Superuser just force closes, so no in rom Boot Manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That was without a custom kernel, but it looks like it will need one, lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
oh lol, okay then. btw do you not have a thunderbolt, to which to test the kernel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I do, but I haven't been able te test builds because its tied up testing stuff for school. Going to have to wrap that up to get things back on track.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Ah I see, well good luck! My thunderbolt does not involve school and is free for testing.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kitten Mittens:
Any update on USB host functionality? Or is it being put on the back burner until data/voice and camera are working?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] i'manoob:
i second that so +1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I have a kernel with the new usb drivers, but even those originally using them have swapped back to the old ones. Seems it became a trade off issue between mass storage, and host / media server
[Thunderbolt Android Development] i'manoob:
experimental no longer boots on my tbolt :confused: It stopped booting after new kernel was put in and have tried each experimental build after each do the same (boot loop) even tried the kernel patch and still nothing :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Did not wipe? Last three have booted. It only went down for 2-3 releases because of a bad lib that snuck in.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] i'manoob:
i always wipe data/cache/dalvik and system

edit: even tried boot manager
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
Boots fine for me, I've also noticed a lot of changes with ui. It looks like it has lot higher quality, however I must say I liked having a display with smaller icons and design.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Sadly its stuck like this until I work out some way for market to still identify the proper resolution. Android gets its screen width through the dp to px ratio, but lowering the value in the prop causes it to report the wrong values and go rogue.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mdparent:
Played with it all day yesterday. I love it. When data is fixed it will be my DD for sure. Dont even care if it has 4g even, 3g will be good enough for now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Yup same here
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raddacle:
I'm not so sure I could handle a data connection just consisting of 3g, its not that stable by where I live. The combination of 4g & 3g almost assures that I would always have internet. Besides that I've been spoiled by 4g and if I was looking for only 3g, I would have bought a soley 3g phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I can't find the post where it was asked about sound lock versus camera lock, but I completely forgot that when I defaulted to sound, I also made sure there was a flag in the build.prop to allow switching from the phone. I will post it as soon as I get back to a computer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
My thoughts exactly, rather have 4g than ics, that being said, the devs are doing a great job!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Jester1614:
I am in the opposite boat, I am Using the phone on cricket (no 4g) so 3g (or even 1x for that matter) is all that i need to start using ICS
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Oh well, thanks for stopping by.
