ics ports

Hallo!

My first device is a htc desire hd and my second a 2x...

i know that dhd no tegra2....

My question is:

our dev team have port ics,but for along long time nobody can fix cam, then come our hero... he go a other way then all...

is there a chance to help that, fix your driver issus?

here the cam thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448303

and a working ics rom (with some issus like fm):http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428047

hopfully it help a little!

Take a look af his thanksmeter! he makes only this threat.... that shows how much this was await
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Thanks for you wanting to help, but it wont really help us. We need proper driver from LG, or a lot of hacking around the library and the framework
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Good luck, looking forward to it. Can i ask how you are acomplishing all this without the needed drivers?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Audio isn't the big problem. We just need to make it compatible with the new ICS framework. Actually we made the framework compatible with the lib, but meh.

We are acutally really close to fixing audio if Benee is right, so keep your fingers crossed!
[LG Optimus 2x] p.valenta:
I thought that you are doing modifications at LG kernel level to support AOSP ICS.

But if you are modifying ICS frameworks, then your ROM will not be compatible with CM9. I mean, that I cannot use your kernel for running CM9, right? :confused:

Anyway, I cannot wait to test it. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrZ69:
WE are WAITING for you ;D
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
We are simply doing the comparability layer that will also be in CM9 from (near) scratch

Wififix work here?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
We don't need it. WiFi is already fully working
[LG Optimus 2x] Gonox:
what does it means on the google docs - "Cam(never ask for a fix) ", so we can't use our cam , or the original cam drivers form ICS can't be ported to O2X, and we will have other external cam drivers ?
[LG Optimus 2x] donnelldouglas:
Yes, skipping ICS and going directly for a JB release might be the one and only golden chance LG's got to redeem itself and save the angry customers from moving over to Samsung and others...

But given the past record and history of broken promises and the simple fact that we are talking about LG after all (!) I say chances of this actually happening is next to nothing IMO. Unfortunately.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
whatever you can say about LG. never samsung!
[LG Optimus 2x] I.R.Chevy:
... Why is that?

Last time I checked they have a couple of the best performing/supported phones on the market.... I think you are all bass ackwards.

Pin it to Win it.
[LG Optimus 2x] iosonogerva:
I have a question only for curiosity...

I know that LG hasn't released the libs needed to use hardware acceleration on our phone, but, specifically what libs need android to access the graphics chips of our device???

This got to do something -> android.googlesource(dot)com/platform/hardware/libhardware/+/ics-plus-aosp/modules/

I'm a developer but a newbie in android and linux kernel hacking...
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
The drivers that LG hasn't provided.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
He know that. Your post was silly ;p

He need names or code.

"Facepalm"
[LG Optimus 2x] Zorkman:
as far as I know, the most important part is the HAL drivers, which are device-specific (both NVIDIA and LG)

NVIDIA has the "basic" sources, which LG has to modify to work with how they designed the hardware of our phone (which differs from the reference design of NVIDIA)
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
@tonyp

Is there any new information about ICS leak from Paul?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
wfd already posted it here, Pauls source doesn't have access to it anymore :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
This source doesn't have a contact which have an access?

Sent 2X faster with my LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I didn't read it, but it's bad news.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
That's a shame. One leak is all we needed for functional ICS and maybe even JB. Maybe someone else from LG would leak it.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
its my opinion! i hate 2 brands. toyota and samsung!
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
We've seen that some forums/users, have leaked ICS ROMs of phones like the Nitro HD, spectrum etc. . Maybe we could contact some of them to ask if they could help in leaking something. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kinimod01:
that are not leaked ICS ROMs .. that are the official ones ^^

LG has published ICS for all smartphone on the left

http://www.lgmobile.co.kr/lgmobile/front/download/retrieveDownloadMain.dev
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
As far as i know: This is not a final official one:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/26138-firmware-p930-udt-v18f-04112012-nitro-hd-ics-leak/

Neither is this:

http://androidcommunity.com/lg-spectrum-android-4-0-4-ics-leaked-20120528/

They were leaked long before the official update (which is not even out btw)

Need some internal sources/contacts :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] Kinimod01:
okay I am sorry, I thought you have meant the official ROM =)
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
might be going mad but i swear the prada update was listed on the left side under android 4.0... now its gone from both sides, hmm?.

Hurry up LG i want ICS :(.
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
I'm not gonna lie, but that is a decent idea mate.
[LG Optimus 2x] wjr002:
Can't confirm it right now but I see some indications from twitter posts that tests of ICS on the 2x is "satisfactory". Translation is difficult since my PC is being upgraded.
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
They mean "we aim to provide a satisfactory (smooth, stable) version of ICS" , so thats not something new, just standard stuff. Any other interpretation of this is just due to confusion caused because of weird structuring of the translated sentence.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
Sorry, if you see my post offense to you. No offense ofc. But I was think it was silly or ironic, because he wanted to now exactly what drivers (types etc).

Not understood on both sides :-)

lol, this is the reply i got from lg malaysia (btw it took them 2 weeks to give this rather routine response)

Dear valued customer,

Refer to your inquiry, I wish to clarify that the Android ICS is still on compatibilty testing on LG P990 Optimus 2X. I wish to say sorry as the confirmation is not able to fix yet.

Thanks

The type of inquiry : Software/Hardware updates

Product/Model No. : WCDMA/LGP990

Hello, I would like to know when will the ice cream sandwich update be available for the lg optimus 2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Sorry, but iosonogervas post isn't silly as you're writing here. He's a developer asking what exactly is needed.

Your answer was "drivers". This is partly true, but for sure not the answer he was waiting for and thus not very helpful.

Unfortunately I don't exactly know either what's missing from the developer perspective (that's why I haven't answered yet).

@iosonogerva:

I think that we need updated egl + gralloc + hwcomposer files. So yes, the files you linked would be the one, but we need them for the tegra2 lg star chipset.

If that's true then we might need new camera + audio binaries as well.

Kernel shouldn't be the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] wjr002:
You are missing the info I have and obviously don't have the sources. There is EVIDENCE that the RESULT is SATISFACTORY.
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
If he really is a developer, he would know that the driver needed for full implementation of ICS for the Tegra 2 AP20H in the Optimus 2X/P990/G2X/P999 is the hardware video driver which provides hardware acceleration of video. That has been known forever and it is also known that NVIDIA has never provided source code for their drivers. LG and other OEM phone manufacturers which use that SOC have them but must make their hardware work with them and Android. So far, no phone manufacturer has been able to do that and, from what I've read in many places, may never be able to do or want to do. The only thing LG can be depended on is to delay, stall and be untruthful.
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
Dont have sources? I check LG twitter page everyday for updates(same "source" as yours).... and try to understand the meaning of the whole sentence in translations rather than just some "key, exciting words" which seem to be indicating something which is not going to happen in the near future.

This is the translation of the latest 2x post on their page:

"Optimus 2X ICS upgrade is currently under development. Specific delivery schedule as soon as we'll notice. Thank you."

I didnt mean offend you, or to criticize you, just tried to point that out :)
[LG Optimus 2x] iosonogerva:
Thank for the answer...

I know that is very difficult but using the source of v20q, the reference manual of the p990, the reference manual of the generic tegra2 SoC and for the base of the AOSP source (and other chip's one for inspiration:)) a very talented developer could bring out a semi-hacked-work...

by the way i think that LG have ruffly the same source that we have, the only big difference is a very specific reference manual for the chip...

PS: the gralloc (that i think is the most "low-level" lib that we need) is already open source by nvidia (i think... don't kill me if i'm wrong;))

link for the source -> nv-tegra.nvidia(dot)com/gitweb/?p=android/platform/hardware/libhardware.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/rel-12r9-gb;hb=refs/heads/rel-12r9-gb

PPS: sorry for the crappy english...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Ahh... "the" driver that is needed is the "hardware video driver". Good thing this "has been known forever".

I guess the compiled library is called "mAgiC_hardware_video_driver.so" then? *facepalm*

In your post you're trying to sound smart with your chipset name and then screw it totally over with the rest of the sentence.

See - I already posted that I don't know the exact answer. What you should learn from that: It is okay to admit that there's something you don't know.

But it is not okay to keep replying with troll posts.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

First: Don't apologize for your English, it's perfectly fine!

Okay, I'm merely speculating here, please don't take my word as facts, I haven't really dealt with that low-level implementations (yet).

We already have a "semi-hacked-work", this is what all ICS ROMs are running at.

The gralloc source you linked is for Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and as far as I know Google did some bigger changes at some of these libs with Honeycomb (Android 3). This is where we're still lacking the binaries and/or source.

I can give you some contact dates of a couple devs who have a way better knowledge than me, feel free to PM me.
[LG Optimus 2x] loipol84:
I am waiting the day LG will release an announcement like :

"After extensive and thoroughly research from our technical department we regret to inform our Optimus 2x customers that update to ICS isn't possible as the end user experience will not be acceptable for LG's high levels of blablabla.

Life is good"

P.s Lg and nvidia never again.:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
+1 feel the same way but even so it's being optimistic because I think they would not ever make that announcement.
[LG Optimus 2x] iosonogerva:
I don't wan't to be rude but i know a bit, not to much (only to pass the operative system exam;)), of how the linux kernel works and i know that normally in linux an external driver is usually come as a kernel module (because is a monolithic-kernel) an a bunch of user-space libs but as far as i know (discussion that i read in xda) in android the drivers work in a different way than in normal linux (but i don't know what is difference) and also the 3d accelerated linux driver for the tegra 2 (both Harmony and Ventana) is already released by nvidia (search linux-for-tegra)...

My question is for curiosity because i when i look in the "development board" i see a lot of devs investing a lot of time and energy in ROM, Kernel and other stuff(and i appreciate a lot all the effort:good::good:) and i always thinked that if we can join all our forces to try resolve the problem of the HA for our alone (without LG and NVIDIA), but maybe i'm only a dreamer...

At the end the point is: to start something you have to know what are the result that you want achieve, and before cry for help from LG or Nvidia we have to declare it impossible to do and if it is not, do it or at least try... (look all the miracle that xda made for the HTC HD2).
[LG Optimus 2x] Core Memory:
I understand your point, that through intense group effort, it may be possible to reverse engineer and modify an existing Tegra 2 driver so that ICS can be fully implemented with hardware acceleration. A major problem is that the hardware architecture is different enough that the existing ICS NVIDIA hardware graphics acceleration drivers, which are for other versions of the Tegra 2, aren't useful enough to spend the incredible time and effort (and money) required. Even "trusted" 3rd party developers can't get any source code or unreleased drivers from NVIDIA unless they're OEM which purchase humungous quantities of NVIDIA SOC (a million units or more apparently). Linus Torvalds has criticized NVIDIA in particular and very strongly (giving NVIDIA the middle finger salute) for it being so difficult to get useful information for Linux and Linux derivative (Android) OS development. If it were reasonably possible, the necessary drivers would have already been reverse engineered but, so far, no one has and no one is willing to do it by themself or as a team. Additionally, even though LG and other OEMs have the required drivers to potentially fully implement ICS on the Optimus 2X/P990/G2X/P999, I think they're having a lot of difficulty getting the phones to work well enough with them to release ICS for them and that's the reason for the postponements/delays for its release. That document I referenced http://pagesperso-systeme.lip6.fr/Julia.Lawall/eurosys-padioleauy.pdf explains why.
[LG Optimus 2x] PG101:
WOW!!

What happened here??

Whats all this bickering about?

Lucky for many, I dont have the time (right now) to go thru the last 10 pages... but I will do so in the evening, but thought, since this was my old forum and most of you know me here, I will leave a post and hope that all this bickering stops.

Thanks.

Now i give up hopes of getting ics from lg.....a new gb update has arrived V20i...
[LG Optimus 2x] karthik1der:
cant find any such update in their italy page.link?
[LG Optimus 2x] Marteen4:
I think that is the South asian version of v20l

correct me if i am wrong
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Its for South Asia
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
what's the point on releasing gb bullcrap in jelly bean era? lies good just making fun of us
[LG Optimus 2x] gilardh:
I do not understand.

Version 20i is it newer than the version 20s?
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Previous version for South Asia was V20h, therefor V20i is a newer version for this region.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

I guess its their way of saying we can give u ICS but we will keep on delaying it
[LG Optimus 2x] wjr002:
I only just got v20h in Australia as in 10 minutes ago.
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
The version differs from region to region, some have V20h, others V20s and ........

december it is guys :)

i hate nvidia.

How difficult can it be to release an update...

Have u tried it.....any changes or something....??
[LG Optimus 2x] darryd:
...maybe they are implemented last improvements to the GB ROMs, for issue free ICS update i think...;)
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
I havent tried it yet. I am not a fan of the stock rom, currently I am on CM7.

There are lots of Stock ROM fans.

I was thinking the same was possible.
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
So it's not stock :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Blazing angel:
The released a new update for gingerbread? Well, that doesn't help the ics situation :(
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
maybe the lg devs dont know that ics is released alredy:D
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
The v20i update comes with a new BB 0327...:( lg
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
That's in my thread for quite some time already ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
so what's the improvement in the latest v20i rom i never used stock rom now
[LG Optimus 2x] lipisak:
What about discuss GB in related topic...this is still ICS so please do not spam here with GB.

[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
This is getting typical, another week another disapointment.

I'm sorry for the pessimism, but i starting to think that something's wrong with this supposed ICS development from LG on the 2X.

For the past 3 days i'v been searching for anything new from Korea LG Mobile's twitter and anything said about the ICS on 2X is only "copy-paste". On facebook in almost any European country they reply always the same thing. "we will post if we have any news"

Why can't they simply say a date.

The only fact that there is no leaks can gives us the indication that the official update is yet far away.
[LG Optimus 2x] msedek:
or even farther.. maybe when Google releases android 8 or so.. or when o2x its a non existant phone that no one cares about maybe in a year or 2
[LG Optimus 2x] aldyu:
Agree, there should be leaks if they are really working on ICS update..
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I don't think so. We had several leaks for previous ROMs, but they all came from the same source. This particular person doesn't have access to anymore.
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
Because i think lg find out who's the leaker is
[LG Optimus 2x] -SONNY-:
I thought we got some GB-leaks from a italian source also. Not only from Paul's source.

Read your post from the beginning or read the entire thread from the beginning?

On this thread, the question has only been properly answered about 2 times, it would be like like looking for a needle in a haystack and no one has the time to do that.

(:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I don't really know, but I THINK that we need new egl, hwcomposer and gralloc binaries.

As far as I know no dev with deeper hardware knowledge on that matter has answered this question here in this thread. There were only assumptions floating around.

I'm personally interested in the answer to that question as well - I will ask someone and reply back (or send him in here).
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Hey guys.

I just wanted to tell that in the latest post of Ricardo Cerqueira on Google+ i've noticed that he didn´t know about the ZTE Mimosa, that as tegra2 with ICS.

https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts

When someone on Google+ mencioned about a tegra 2 with ICS, Ricardo answered "orly? There are Tegra2 phones with ICS? Which?﻿"

Is it just me or i may be wrong.....

About that phone, (ZTE) we didn't get many answers from the Devs. Only the EagleBlood devs gave their opinion. But never got from the device maintainer (Arcee) :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes saw it as well. We will see, maybe he will reply now.

Strange because I tweeted him the ROM and asked him at G+ about it (where my comment got over 50 +1's from you guys lol! :D)
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
Fingers crossed it's what we need or rather he needs to get hw acceleration working :)
[LG Optimus 2x] I.m.Tuga:
Well, i think that right now Ricardo is more busy in CM10 on the 4x, rather than spending his time with our 2x. The clock is ticking and surely wants to show more results on the 4X.

I think that Arcee should be more acessible, with so many ways to get in contact with him. Even with twiiter, Google+ or what so ever, we couldn't get to him our message.....it's disapointing:(
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Ricardo does CM for free on his own sparetime. And you are disapointed?

Well, i think that Ricardo already have made more for us than anyone can expekt

So next time you feel like whining, don't do it here
[LG Optimus 2x] rosmarcelino:
What you wrote isnt wrong, RC should be more friendly, and answer at least some questions about the 2X. I imagine that all CM developers works for free as RC. But lets wait 6 months more and then maybe he appears here again :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Marteen4:
What shall he say? He already said that there wont be official CM9 for P990 until there wont be a leak or the LG ICS update.

Someone already confirmed that the Mimosa X is not good for us.
[LG Optimus 2x] djvoleur:
I was looking at the U970_B02_Geno download posted awhile back...looking into it and going to system/vendor/firmware i found the bcm4329, i'm running Temsek's CM 7.2 ROM and i found the same directory with the same folder...I wonder if it is possible...what we would need would be under system/bin and system/lib...but then again...it does reference ventana...
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Feel free and look around in threads here. And why not a random G+ post from RC..

Do you really think that people will leave him alone?

Come on, i hate spam in my inbox, i cant even imagine how much Ricardo must hate it.

So if he wants to be left alone, just leave him alone. Thats the least we can do for him.
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
So contacted RC about the ZTE Mimosa X. He said "No, not really." :(

Looks like we have to wait for a leak or the official thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes, he usually answers his Twitter account. If he doesn't it's most likely a dumb question thus I assumed it was back in the day I asked him :D
