On the OMAP3 driver issue, has anyone tried talking to TI( I believe they are the vendor in question here) about getting these or what the licensing cost would be?

EDIT: I just did a quick check at the TI site, and they have an OMAP developer network where you can apply for membership. I would, but unfortunately am not a developer for anything beyond bash scripts and a little php.
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Sounds good. If the few other things I'm going to try don't pan out I'll give this a shot. I'd hate to build on that other system as its too old, but if I can at least get it to pull the files down I'll be happy. That seems to be the hangup.

My repo sync problems (Ubuntu 10.04 x64 VM) in are completely gone since I switched the network-settings in virtualbox from NAT to bridged.

Happily repo-syncing every day.
[Nook Color Android Development] clshores:
I am running repo sync for the first time and it ran for a really long time but then it just seems to be stuck.

I deleted the system folder and recreated it and tried to repo sync again and it stalled at what appears to be the same point.

I am running this on a physical Ubuntu 11.10 x64 machine. I attached a pic of the terminal window where it has stalled.

If anyone can shed some light I would appreciate it.
[Nook Color Android Development] gotrubberducky:
i am so excited. backing up now will install within minutes.
[Nook Color Android Development] nukedukem:
fattire - Thanks for the write-up, I didn't know I could do a system sync through adb. I have 20 something test zips on my sd card...oh well off to build again :)
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
Actually the goal is to attract more contributions froym developers who have itches they want to scratch, metaphorically speaking... though it is allergy season... hmmm. I own zero bt devices, but maybe someone who does might see this as an opportunity to test and contribute...

Also, i really am interested in people learning & having the satisfacton of building from scratchh, etc. If you want an sd version.... seriously' the tools are here. if you have the time and interest... try it!

I was also thhghinking to be sure to emphasize that obviously this is pre-alpha, unofficial, unsupported, and I have no idea wht will work or not.. so like it hasnt eveen been one battery charge's worth of usage... we all discover together...

does usb host mode work? i can test and see if bluetooth and usb host mode works properly
[Nook Color Android Development] guy2545:
I'm going to give this a try, I have a bunch of Bluetooth devices to test with. I am really interest in developing cm and helping the effort. I tried syncing the git report today but it didn't g well. Going to give it another try in the morning.
[Nook Color Android Development] ieAnd:
Bored and can't sleep. Time to ruin things!

I have to thank you devs for all the hard work you put into enabling me to ruin everything. Without you I would never be able to shake my head, sigh and say "this is why I can't have nice things." :P

But srsly, super thank you. You're wonderful.
[Nook Color Android Development] ieAnd:
I didn't ruin it!

This is remarkable work. For being early along I love what I'm seeing. Performance is (understandably and assumably) hit and miss, but I'm not getting any random FCs or anything. Even Gapps are working pretty well. I've been testing ICS on my HTC Incredible as well, which has native hardware acceleration working, yet crashes and force closes all over the map... not having those roaring at me is a most welcome change.

After fixing permissions and using SetCPU to pump things to 1200-1200@performance, this is a most enjoyable experiment. Is there anything I could test/do/ruin to benefit the cause?
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
Is anybody having problems with sync hanging? It keeps freezing on me at "android_prebuilt". I've been on irc for a day trying to get help but no one else is having this problem. Any thoughts here? Thanx guys!
[Nook Color Android Development] zequav:
Testing it right now, this is the first time my NC has felt... "right" since I bought it a year ago. Don't get me wrong; the work you did with CM7 was impressive, but it's obvious 2.X wasn't meant for tablets.

****, even the performance seems already better than CM7 in some places (scrolling lists, for example).

Again, fantastic work and thanks for your work.

any one getting gapps to work?
[Nook Color Android Development] therkr:
They got Dalingrin's name wrong again..
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Market seems to be working for me. Flashed gapps, bypassed setup screen, added google account. However it only added Market. When I have time this afternoon/evening I'm going to work and get the regular apps loaded (sideload if I have to) and will see what I can do with them.
[Nook Color Android Development] nukeruss:
No. I tried the gapps posted on rootzwiki for the droid x but those did not work either. At least I did not format data so I still have about 150 apps to play with.

My market currently starts to open and then closes after a couple seconds.

The Rom works pretty darn good though.

P.s. I love the underlining of misspelled words.
[Nook Color Android Development] cchant:
I flashed gapps and tried to setup like normal and kept getting setupwizard has crashed. I'll try your way
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Do this:

http://pocketnow.com/how-to/android-quick-tip-how-to-bypass-touch-the-android-to-begin-video

If I recall, the gapps setups market, then you're supposed to select the google applications you want to install, but since it crashes (it was crashing on me), use the trick above to bypass to home screen, go to settings, then add the google account. You should be able to access the market (however, it wouldn't let me download applications until I rebooted once after adding my account). Like I said, I'm going to load the other gapps to test later today.
[Nook Color Android Development] cchant:
I got it working now. Instead of rebooting in to recovery from rom manager, I booted directly into recovery with the nook powered off. Flashed gapps, rebooted and it worked. It didn't even ask to setup. But I can access market now. Thanks for your help

build/core/base_rules.mk:166: *** device/bn/encore/hwprops: MODULE.TARGET.EXECUTABLES.hwprops already defined by android_device_bn_encore/hwprops. Pare.

To solve this error I just deleted the ~/android/system/vendor/bn/encore folder and ran the extract-files.sh inside the ~/android/system/device/bn/encore folder.

I think this error is cos I run the extract-files.sh script inside the android_device_bn_encore.
[Nook Color Android Development] biohazrd51:
Yep. Similar problems as I had. Bridging the connection might work as I had seen it on one other random internet post. Just haven't gotten down the list to try it yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] bigbob23:
I don't know if you have tried it, but you can get a virtual console by pressing crtl-shift-F1 (you can also use F2-F6 to get multiple consoles). I prefer this to using the terminal program (in the early days of Linux a VC was the default startup screen).
[Nook Color Android Development] ggbutcher:
I'm running a command-line-only installation of XUbuntu. I'm not a big fan of the vm consoles, as they hijack the mouse and you have to Ctrl-Alt to get it back in the host desktop. I use Putty on windows, which allows you to use some of the copy-paste shortcuts.

I did a re-compile in my vm last night from a ccache, took 2hr 25min. Still using -j1 to keep from locking up and aborting.

I realize this is a development thread, however I was just curious if anyone is aware of the fact that Netflix doesn't work (at least on my device).

Can anyone else confirm that the app opens, but when attempting to play any video the screen stays black?

[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
I thought Netflix didn't work since it requires Flash on Android. Also, the second post says video is not working.

Not sure what changed but I had to back out of 0127 (tonight's nightly). I god various forces closes on things like Google Earth and the browser.

I notice it's 1kb smaller that the previous so it is different.

Edit: I put 0127 back on. I need to see what's going on.

Edit2:I don't think it ever work. I think I confused it with my CM7 Touchpad.
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
Netflix hasn't updated their app for ICS yet. It has nothing to do with flash but it may in some part have something to do with the lack of hardware acceleration.

Sent from space
[Nook Color Android Development] pitcherj:
Ah. The hardware acceleration bit makes sense.

Just to provide some feedback, Netflix has in fact updated their app for

ics. I'm running it on my nexus s 4g right now. My money is on the hardware acceleration mentioned by the previous poster.

Interestingly enough, Hulu restored with titanium backup works just fine, so they must have the ability do drop down to a software acceleration mode as it did seem a bit choppy at the highest quality setting.
[Nook Color Android Development] GrStead123:
GB and ICS repos

So, I wasn't paying attention i guess and accidentally added and synced both the gb and ics repos. So how would i specify when building which repo to use, or how would i build for gb or ics?

Tried it, running it, and testing it. Keyodi did most of the work.
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
So its working? Are we looking at 3d/2d h/w acceleration...?
[Nook Color Android Development] fattire:
The good--

games work that didn't work before (Air Attack HD). I *THINK* battery life is longer, at least it feels like it's not eating power like it was before... (THAT's totally subjective and not really reliable)... overall performance is about the same.

The possibly bad--

Seems to have some weird and inconsistent freezes, particularly in the browser. When it's not happening though it's working nicely. I'm not sure if the issue is the build, the egl, or my bad luck or what. Keyodi is taking a look to see if he has the same thing.

update: he is-- we think it may be flash related... though not 100% because some pages with flash dont' have an issue.. maybe it's flash+video? We're chekcing into it. It could be the OpenGL rendering, which is something new we just added that seems to be related.. (?)

OpenGL rendering is on and it's real non legacy egl tho so that's all good. Just thinking about turning this on before made the encore crash.

This required a major revision to the kernel, fwiw as well as new blobs, libraries, and executables.

note also this has nothing to do yet with OMX (HQ video), which still needs an update.
[Nook Color Android Development] keyodi:
The good

no longer need to render everything on the cpu, which should improve battery life

more games seem to now work

wallpaper scrolling now works

seems more snappy? maybe maybe not

Now the bad

random freezes, which maybe caused by egl. Didn't experience any freezes when OPENGL_RENDER was commented out or it could have been Flash. dunno...

this is the only issue we discovered so far

We probably need to do more testing before we push this change

The latest: so far no crashes or freezes after wiping data/system/cache Still getting random freezes :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Harlley Sathler:
What a very good notice! Ansious to test!
[Nook Color Android Development] Dj-Gutz:
Great news! :)

the glitches are probably the result of hwcomposer missing right?

About OMX , I've come across Quarx2k ( Defy dev ) git and he commited some changes that might be intersting to look

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_hardware_ti_omap3-compat/commits/ics

Defy's cm9 thread states that youtube works from 7/12 ( nothing about hq or non-hq )

I couldn't find the commit that made it work but does Quarx2k work applies to us too?

Youtube works in standard definition currently @ ~30FPS + sound all on CPU(Or however it's decoding it all...). At least that's my experience. =/

Well I went on a dedicated machine and its still a no go. Repo sync hangs anywhere from 2.5-4GB through the download. I'm really beginning to wonder if it is a network problem on my end, but I haven't been able to find anything in the logs that would be causing the d/c.

VPN?

I'm sorry to repeat this if it has been addressed (couldn't find that it has).

Has anyone been able to successfully connect to a VPN using CM9/ICS? If so please specify if you are using an add-on app or base VPN functionality. I think I have everything right, but it won't connect to any host.

Thanks...and awesome job devs. CM9 has been my primary setup for a couple of weeks now and it is sweet!

+1 for VPN feature

I've traded in my 10 inch android tablet for my NC (way lighter and much better screen) and do not regret that decision. The only thing I can't do is VPN on my NC which I can live with for now but can't wait for it to be addressed in CM9.

It appears the build-bot runs even if there are no changes. The last three nightlies are the same size. I suspect there are no differences. There could be if it's just logic bits being flipped but I doubt that explains the sizes not changing for several builds in a row.

I've been watching the commits and they don't appear to be tracking the occasional changes in the nightlies. That's fine, I just watch for a size change or some specific post that says one nightly is different from a prior build.
[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
There is no build-bot working yet. All of these so-called "nightlies" are unofficial manual builds built by users. And you may be right that they are identical from night to night.
[Nook Color Android Development] MrColdbird:
This project never stops to amaze me.

It has been my daily driver for a while now and I didn't regret it so far.

The only thing Im missing is support for Remote Desktop - a RDP Protocol based remote control client I used on 2.3.7, but this isn't a bug in this project but far more a incompatiblity to Android 4...

Doesn't work on my other Android 4 Tablets either. :(
[Nook Color Android Development] Awats:
Ah, ok. I was thinking there might be since the new builds consistently show up right after 12am est.
[Nook Color Android Development] Vrekk:
Changes for our device in general might be identical but the "nightlies" do tend to include new things changing in Cyanogenmod 9 as well.
[Nook Color Android Development] asting:
I've been using splashtop (which i know isn't the built in remote desktop) and it's been working great for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] Samiam303:
That's not quite true. It's not the official CyanogenMod buildbot, and it's not using the piece of software called "Buildbot", but my (and I imagine probably Eyeballer's too) nightlies are built by an automated script I wrote. They are built whether I'm home or not, every night at midnight -- and yes, that's whether anything has been changed or not, so some are probably identical.

[Nook Color Android Development] leapinlar:
Leaving wifi on all the time is what leads to SOD. With wifi on and the screen off, it tries to deep sleep. Somehow wifi and deep sleep get tangled up and it locks, ie SOD. See my post above for a temporary fix until the devs solve it.

This removes the "bootloader" option which was one of the options when you press and hold the power button and get the shutdown/reboot menu.
[Nook Color Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for the reply but I guess I'm a bit dense here. On CM7 I don't recall a bootloader option on the power menu, is this something new in CM9?

Thanks for your patience.

If you ever compared Splashtop to Remote Desktop... then you would know that the "it's working great" is a lie...

Splashtop is slow, irresponsive and overall a pc-side resource eater...
