Oh yay, more noobs to complain about the already well-known bugs in this alpha build.

Does this ROM really need an installation guide anyway? I fail to see how it's any different to any other AOSP/CM build. Boot to Recovery > Wipe > Install ROM > Install GAPPS > Reboot. There, one fragmented sentence. Anybody who can't work that out is likely to be more of a hindrance to the devs than a help.

Save your editorial skills for when it's done. Or at least usable.

You have to accept the attention any thread that says ics in the title will receive
[Desire Android Development] WallnutBoy:
Great. Tell us to read another user's thread but don't link us to it or anything.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ha ha. Exactly. Now if we use git, it won't matter about the threads as we would see everyone's commits and those with the access could compile the Rom too.

Much quicker way to dev

[Desire Android Development] saiyth:
installed fine

audio : not working no sound at all

camera : cannot connect to camera

call : can place a call but cant hear the other person and he cant hear me

gallery: shows black tiles and images appear some time when i touch the screen (looks like its trying to use graphic acceleration but something is broke)

widgets : working

browser:working (on 2G only - 3G keeps disconnecting)

love the new resizable widgets and the courser

bit lagy but faster than the sdk build IMO

Very Promising .. keep it up dev

I also have to learn ;p Luckily, my test tomorrow is pretty easy, so I can keep working on this :) Build started half an hour ago, already got 2 errors, fixed them both, and now it is busy again :)

Oh, and I wouldn't wait for this tonight: building will take at least 8 hours ;) And it started half an hour ago.

I am using Cm7 r2 Hboot.

Really impressive start tho -congrats. V exciting!
[Desire Android Development] tristan202:
8 hours?!? That's steap. Usually when I build cm7, it finishes in about 2-2½ hours.

What kind of machine do you have to build with? I build on P4 1.8mhz dual core with 4gb ram. An old one, I know.
[Desire Android Development] Mikey F:
1st test

ok, i installed it using the cm7r2 hboot, installed without a hitch, loaded 1st time. its much quicker than the sdk build, which from what i gather is to be expected. everything that was said to be working was working. i had one force close, but that while while i had the browser open (which wouldnt connect at all) 3G connected and disconnected a few times. widgets worked fine, i found the dev settings and turned on the cursor (shaded dot) which i found pretty useful, not sure whether this is whats popping up for other people, but before i turned it on i had no mouse pop up at all (for about 10 mins usage). have to say, if /when this starts getting slightly more advanced, i cant see any reason why it wont work on the desire, but thats from a very non-developer sided point of view, just that it seems to be working pretty good already!

oh, an wifi wouldnt turn on
[Desire Android Development] *child:
Looks like you guys are off to a great start! Well done!

android@portatile #1

However, a GB Kernel.
[Desire Android Development] TheRealSlimDesire:
Tested and it works nicely, all that has been mentioned previously I can confirm works. Plus touchscreen works which I wasn't expecting after reading posts about using a cursor and the optical pad! I got a freeze when moving a widget to the homescreen (email) but changed wallpaper and it fixed. Previews show in wallpapers btw, not sure about live ones. Couldn't get any signal whatsoever though...

Overall am very impressed how its coming along!

Used with PVT-1 S-Off CM7r2...

I'll go make a video, takes some time though , since I have to flash it again!
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Don't forget that this is just the initial build, once built then a correctly configured compiler will only compile files that have changed. It'll probably still take a while to assemble it all together, but nowhere near as long as the first build (I hope).
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It is best practice to make clean or make clobber after changing source though as the changes may affect its dependancies.
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Of course, but not for every single build, especially if the differences between build times is several hours. Since this is pure development and not for production, it'll probably be fine. Then when it's looking pretty good, a full rebuild before release can be done. Besides, if you keep track of what you're doing, you should be relatively aware if you're going to change dependencies in some way.

THX for your work!

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

First install. Very Impressed.

What works:

Booting :D (really… i found that to be impressing)

Calling

Bluetooth

Widget resizing

Scrollable Widgets

Issues:

- I had to enter my pin more than once after it told me that the sim was added

- I cant add my Google Profile under Settings -> Accounts

- Alternative Letters on the Keyboard are popping up after long press, but theyr touch zone is way out of focus

- Pictures in the Gallery only show up when scrolling through the gallery

- Pictures dont show when opening them (though they load up in the widget

- Crashed while adding a widget

- CPU Load seems pretty high (at least the phone got kinda hot)

- Graphics are really low res.

- OT gives me a cursor

Doesnt work:

Camera

WiFi

Android.phone FC's often

Sound

3G Connection

Thats all I had time for at work today. But im already impressed that it works at all.

Thx for your work <3

[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Still busy building the source... The folder got about 19.3GB by now, and we're still fixing several issues in the source which cause it to not build. At the moment, we had to modify about 10 files. We don't have a clue how far we are already, but since I read we need 25GB for building, I think we're pretty far :)
[Desire Android Development] KasperHermansen:
Can't wait to try it out again when new build comes :)

Good luck :)
[Desire Android Development] DJ_Jedi:
How do you manage to make your phone write on SD?

It's about 3 weeks i'm hitting my head against a giant wall...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Have you got to AudioFlinger yet? If yes, what did you do to fix it?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Seems I looked wrong, it's at about 10GB at the moment (the 'out'-directory), and I haven't got to AudioFlinger yet (haven't seen anything about it in the terminal yet..). Perhaps you could try to use:

make -jN -i

So in my case, I use the command 'make -j4 -i' to build. I had some errors with a few gtest-files which were related to IO (at least so it seemed...), and in the first try I removed those lines of code, but I thought it might be a better option to let it ignore the errors so the integrity of the source doesn't change, and with -i it got past the files which caused an error earlier without any problems, so it's worth a try !

And you could re-setup your environment:

make clean

source build/envsetup.sh'

lunch full-userdebug

I got a few errors which were caused by an app which looked like a non-use app, so I thought it might help to use 'lunch full-userdebug' instead of 'lunch full-eng', so hopefully this will prevent the errors from appearing :) So try -i first, and if you can't find another way to fix it if -i doesn't work, and you don't see any alternative solution, you could try the commands I gave here, to let it compile with 'userdebug' instead of 'eng' (engineering).

So my old attempt with some modified code to let it compile didn't work out, but using -i lets everything compile fine until now, and I made much less modifications to the code :)

Oh, and hereby a notification to everybody: It would be much appreciated if people wouldn't post posts as 'looking forward to this!'. You can thank the developers here by pressing the Thanks-button, but from now one, let's keep the topic clean of chitchat, and only use this topic only for development progress and status from now on :) Thanks to all of you, and for the big interest in this project!
[Desire Android Development] jackie_jagger:
Installed fine, what ever was mentioned to be broken is broken - No FCs here however. Mouse pointer does happen to appear when unlocked AND when the trackpad is used ! other than that - we seem to be on the right track !!

Cannot wait to see what the next build brings !
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I always use userdebug but never -I so ill see what that does. My audioflinger errors are basically x is not defined in this scope (or similar)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Great news: we ****ing did it!

With a lot of thanks to DonUber who allowed me to use his PC as a buildbox, (X4, which means 4 cores, running on 3.9GHz each, and 4GB RAM), the process went really fast, much faster than expected, actually.

In other words: we got a system.img built which is 157MB, and I think we changed or omitted about 15 lines of code in total, of which most are responsible for catching some errors and that kinda stuff. I'll be uploading the System.img and an update.zip here as soon as possible, as I'm going to get the IMG to my own PC now, and then I'll upload it and make an update.zip which I'll upload here too.

Stay tuned!
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
What do you mean by "make your phone write on SD", DJ_Jedi?

I use ddms.bat for taking the screenshots and saving them on my PC.

By the way, I'm able to surf on Internet with this ROM but the reception in 3G is not very strong nor very stable. Not sure that it comes from the ROM, actually.

I have the ROM Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 on the phone.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Does it boot though? What works? Had many a successful compile that didn't boot
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
He probably thought as I did that the images taken were written to sd
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
I don't know if it boots, since I don't have a Desire laying around here :p Hence I'm uploading it, so hopefully someone here could test it.

Edit: uploading will take about an hour...upload is 50KB/s, which isn't really great. Stay tuned :)
[Desire Android Development] whitekidney:
so.. what kernel are you using?
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Both the flashable ZIP and the System.IMG won't be supplied with a kernel, so people can try every kernel out there, and the IMG and ZIP could also be used for other devices ;)

Edit: 20 minutes to go, still uploading :)
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
So we have to flash a gb kernel after the zip?
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
20 minuts to wait....

:)
[Desire Android Development] Chaosz-X:
Yes :) The GB kernels should work, according to others, and we don't really have an alternative, so that should be the way to go :) System.img is almost uploaded (although the connection is really slow, at 59% at the moment), but most of the people here won't be able to flash it immediately. I'll make a flashable ZIP for the Desire as soon as I got the system.img here, and then I'll upload it.

ETA: 2 hours for a flashable ZIP, I hope ;)
[Desire Android Development] knepe:
What works and what doesn't work? What kernel should we flash? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
2 hours to wait, then :)

Maybe a noob's question: Is it possible to flash this Rom img from the bootloader?
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
Yes, we need ZIP. Newbie. :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Fastboot flash system system.img

Will download and test it with _Thalamus kernel aswell... he made the kernel for Oxygen which was stock GB so I guess it will work better with stock ICS... will report back in a couple of minutes/hours... :)

Thanks for Android commander btw! Will check it out now :)

Also, any IRC channel where we can gather up and have a live chat about the testing all together? It will be much faster to report stuff and reproduce bugs between us than here on the forum where we must post stuff every time we find out something..

One more thing... Someone provide a mirror or something... the one we currently use is slow (probably because of many simultaneous downloads) It would speed up the process much more :) I would provide my RS account if I remembered to pay for it for this month >.<
