[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
Update: See page 2 for a very alphaish ROM. I doesn't boot as per such, but if you can get it booting and tell me how you did it, I'll buy you a beer.

Well, this might be crazy, but I was searching around to see if we could get CyanogenMod 7.x onto our Iconia Tab. i yielded no results, so i decided to take a potshot at porting CM from the Advent Vega, which is more or less the same Hardware as our Iconia Tab (it runs the Tegra 2 chip at it's core too). basically, a project to port CM over to the Iconia.

so, i butchered up a update.zip of 7.2RC0, removed the kernel from the update.zip and stuff related to the vega in updater-script. i flashed it via recovery, and it booted on my kernel that I'm using (HoneyVillian). however, just before it got to the Android logo, it must have panic'd and rebooted into recovery.

why CM7? Well, i thought it would give us speed and also, CM7 love until CM9 arrives. also, sometimes gingerbread > honeycomb.

what i would like someone to do is compile/provide me a kernel with a framebuffer console. that way, i can see what's going on and then investigate it further. i suspect the kernel might be at fault, but without a framebuffer console to visually see how the tablet is booting, i can't do much else.

for the devs, i'll post what I did to the update.zip later on, on my way to work right now.

let's get some Cyanogen love on our Iconia!
[Acer Iconia A500] The.Yield:
Exciting idea!
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Do NOT put CM7 on your tab. A few reasons behind this:

Gingerbread may not offer on screen back, home, etc. No controlling your way around. This has been fixed before, but I'd start with ICS if I were you. You can download cm9 what they have so far

Next, app compatibility. Apps say Android version X.Y or newer, not X.Y and older. There are many apps which will simply stop working.

Finally, It's like someone working on OS9 after Lion was released. Sure, some enthusiasts may enjoy it, but it's a bit backwards.

Just my $.02
[Acer Iconia A500] bendystrawboy:
good luck finding a dev who likes to waste time, gbread port to a honeycomb tablet while ics is out sounds like an absurd waste of time.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Exciting but I agree cm7 is prob not a great idea and that is hard to say coming from a guy that uses miui and we all know miui is a modded cm7. Like above statement says I'd suggest cm9 or asop HC.. But cm7 doesn't have those buttons that we need YES You can include button saviour [market app] that makes those once hardware buttons available on screen so its up too you home slice if you can do it.. Ill gladly play with it!
[Acer Iconia A500] DemonGloom:
Hey, that's cm7.. It has table tweaks built-in.. Statusbar at the bottom and onscreen buttons.. It will look like that:
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Yea thats whats on my nook color thats why im all for this project cuz i know itle work and it would be fast but who knows if itle be popular with ics down the crossroads of being finished.. I do know id love to see miui on our tablet i love all that we can do with miui.us i run it on my nook along with dual boot cm7.

Like i said though cm9 will be completed soon *crosses fingers* and im sure someone will port miui.us or make cm9 just as customizable as cm7 is. Along with performance add on right in settings. Take a look at cm9 on thors forum it has cyanogenmod settings already so all we can do is wait to see what happens with this new development that is starting to roll once again on the a500
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Why would we want CM7 (Android 2.3) on a device that has a working ICS port? Try working with CM9!
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
haha I thought about doing this the other day but I wasn't bored enough. You can view your dmesg output more successfully via adb than with a fb console though. It sounds like services start and it crashes try removing non essential libs like lights and sensors also look for some egl and gralloc files for a 2.3 tablet running ventanna tegra try to nab some logcat source if android is on screen you should have logcat output.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
Actually, CM 7.1 does have an option for tablets to have the buttons. My Viewsonic gTablet had this option, and it actually had the hard buttons on the side of the screen (so I had both hardware and software buttons). I don't see the same options on my Evo 3D, so it may be a option you can select when you compile it.

EDIT: It looks like others have mentioned that. I need to read more into the thread before posting.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Yea icedcube if you do still go through with this maybe check nookcolor development and if someone will tell you how to add those software buttons because button savoir is a pain in the ass to use lol

Cyanogenmod team im sure has the know how in their forum.
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
as i have stated, it's just a project, and i'm doing it for the lulz.

i think the libs might be at fault , so I'll grab the base ones needed from my current ROM (icedComb) and see if I can get this thing booting. even if dalvik boot looped, i'd be happy (as in, the cm7 logo kept restarting it's animation).
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Well if it boots ill test it for ya fosho!
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
Oh poop.

In a Ice Cream Sandwich thread, there was a list of libs that were the "core" libs to get ICS booting. Since that thread got nuked (I believe it was thor's thread), I'm stumped.

I guess I'll see if I can pull all the libs with "tegra" in their name to my PC and see what the story is. In the meantime, can anyone remember the "base" list of libs that are required?

EDIT: I really need a kernel with a framebuffer console. I got somewhere close to bootup. Just need a kernel so I can check for kernel panics, adb logcat doesn't work even though Windows plays it's "Ding", "Dong", "Ding" as the tablet initializes.
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
One good thing in GB, is that you can move apps to EXTERNAL SD card (AKA Large game files).

8GB + 16GB internal memory user's would love that.

Install about 10 gameloft games and a few THD games (and you'll get it)

I'd still want to go forwards. Does anyone wanta run Win 95/98/ME anytime soon?
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
Volume up/down work fine for back and menu. What I'm looking forward to is the release of web os source :D that will be fun
[Acer Iconia A500] Silverblade.nz:
I still have access to Thor's thread. Found this:

(Acer Iconia A501 + Samsung Galaxy S I9000T)
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
cheers. that should get me somewhere now.

another thing is that i was going to do is flash the vega's kernel to my iconia, but... the vega's file system is yaffs, not ext4! so, that would end up with a can't mount root filesystem panic.

and just for the record, i do still use Windows 98 at home on one of my retro PCs. ;)

EDIT: Hmm, even with libs that I know work with my Iconia still causes it to reboot just before it reaches the CM boot logo. And adb logcat still waits on "Waiting for device". Hrm. So it looks like the framebuffer kernel will be needed. If no one's going to compile one for me, I'll have to break out the tools and compile one myself. Fun when I have little kernel building experience...

Anyway. I'll upload my work so far and maybe some other dev (randomblame?) could take a look at it. I'm using HoneyVillian's kernel unless that's causing issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
Maybe I've been sick out of my mind sitting on the couch playing chaos and order. The computer is getting a well deserved break. I'm certain I can get it working with minimal effort the issues would be with gralloc and 3d acceleration.
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
Alright. I'm going to upload this when I get off my work shift. It's most likely something I missed, I'm using the right libs - I copied them from my HoneyComb ROM; the ones included with the Vega CM build should work, but the tablet reboots to recovery when it nears the boot screen.

The package is also a slap-dash setup. ZIP will be unsigned and the update-script has been butchered up to remove unwanted Vega references. Even if we don't have 3D acceleration working, at least we can say at the end of the day: "CM7 runs on the Iconia. Bring on CM9".
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
OK.

Files uploaded. Here's the libs that I used, pulled from my ROM: download here. And here's the CM7 package: download here.

DO NOT FLASH IF YOU AREN'T A DEVELOPER! YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT WILL REBOOT YOUR ICONIA INTO RECOVERY EVERY BOOT!

Link to the CM7 Nightly I used (cm-vega-288-full.zip): from here.

It's all up to you, randomblame or anyone else who's feeling hackish. Get it booting and I'll buy you a beer.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
Did you try modifying egl.cfg kill the lines that say tegra or fimg and keep only the android line ill play with it tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
wouldn't it be smarter to port the device tree from another working cm7 tegra base device? there is tons of documentation and its almost impossible to get everything working by copying and pasting libs and other various pieces of a rom together. thats were i would start. i also agree that porting cm7 to a tablet like this is not really a smart idea. why not focus on contributing to fixing issues with cm9. thats whats important. if your still dead set on this. (any dev is good dev i suppose) i would start on the cyanogenmod github page

I have an LTE Galaxy Nexus with the extended battery from Verizon....

When I charge my phone, it will say charged on the lock screen but when I unplug it, the battery in the status bar says 98% as does my BatteryLife widget on the homescreen.. It never has said 100%... Is this normal? Any suggestions?

I have reset battery stats in CWR when fully charged (only 98% apparently) and that didn't help. Factory resets haven't changed it either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Probably need battery calibration app and bump charge it, then reset.

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
this is normal. these batteries will charge up to 100% then drop down to 98-99 and then back up. so it's very common that you'll never see 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Neo is correct. I had the same problem. I bump charged mine and it charges to 100% most of the time. But a phone only charging to ~98% does not mean there is a problem. Shutting down before 1% there might be.

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
I also have the extended battery, and it does the same thing. I've only seen 100 after charging in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airslant:
Alright, thanks guys. I will just ignore it then.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
January 1 DannyD at SamMobile.com (the new home of SamFirmware) told me the following:

"let us know if there is a 2012 rom thanks "

January 6th I posted on their forum:

"Well, it's 2012, Samsung/Sprint have the FA06 test ROM created 6 January.

http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D700/FA06.rdf

Any chance of getting this one?"

Today he replied:

"Thansk will request for you guys hopefully we could get "

These guys have been pretty good with leaks in the past, often within a few days of when they first start looking. Watch this space for updates.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
First woot!

Not a big accomplishment but that's cool nice to see they are trying to fix their screw ups :D

Got my fingers crossed!!!! Damn hard to type now...lol!
[Epic 4G General] Epic4GPortTeam:
This may be a value pack based build too.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
That was my first thought. However with the on-again, off-again nature if the valuepack, I wonder if a previous build included valuepack and it has since been removed. Unless they can get multiple builds we'll never know. Regardless, it should be CIQ free.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Could you ask them for ei22 tar? I believe that's way more important.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Plus one :) so ridiculous going back to ec05 updating then blah blah blah to damn long :D

Sent From My Cyan Samurai
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Any leak they get us will be a full tar and newer than EI22 with CIQ removed so yay!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Noobnl packaged a tar without the modem and I think the boot loaders were missing. Add his files to the EH17 bootloaders and flash the EC05toEI22 zip and you got something other than the EC05 tar to use.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Please samfirmware find the server...
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I've got no inside connection with them, I just created an account on their forum and posted. You can too.

I'm not interested in EI22, I'm way more interested in 2.3.6 without CIQ I'm sure that would be just as useful to the developers.
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Eh, as far as 'useful', I don't know. K0nane already killed CIQ as well as we need, nothing can be pulled from our EI22 roms. And new features or performance seem slim.

But on the other hand, my phone works too well now and I've run out of things to enhance on it. I'm kinda bored with Epic 4G development, so something new could be interesting! In the mean time, I'll be working on the Galaxy Tab.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I would bet the kernels would be compatible, that is the only source they got.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Why would care about requesting builds that only incorporates new features and not ics. Point being is its just features which our devs will implement but we are lacking a lot right now without this full tar.

So I just got my Galaxy Nexus about a week ago and went to pay my bill using the My AT&T app. I noticed I forgot to download it and went to the market to install it, to my surprise it was not there.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadmd23:
The VZ app works because it has the right carrier code in the build.prop, since you bought the phone from them. For us TMO/ATT users that don't have the correct carrier since we did not buy them from the carrier, the carrier specific apps (and market) do not work. Some people are having luck using either MarketEnabler or MarketAccess, I did not have luck myself.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowAreo:
Hi,

I have a question. I once rooted my Xperia x10 and dropped it. I let somebody repair the screen and all was good. Then my micro usb port broke a few months later and I thought it was to expensive to let it replaced. I purchased a Desire HD. Almost 6 months later my Girlfriend asked me if she could use it, I said yes but it has some issues. Now I came up with a way which could maybe solve the issues?

It's now running WB-Xperia TW 009 (android 2.2.1) and bb .54 but I have an xrecovery backup with rooted stock android 2.1. Could I restore to it and then do a OTA to Android 2.3.3? So it fixes the problem like wifi dropping out? I don't care if it doesn't have root then anymore. But is it possible?

Kind Regards,

ShadowAreo

[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
I wonder how effective the different ROMs are out there.

After performing S-OFF to my beloved EVO 3D I'm trying out the different cooked ROMs with the different flavors.

Apart from the feelings and "personal tastes" I wanted to have an objective point of view about the performance.

In order to do that, I installed Antutu Benchmark in every ROM I'm trying out and I want to share with you the results.

I didn't performed the same with the Vodafone Stock ROM so I don't have this report.

I know the limitations of this kind of software but I'm not comparing different devices. Just the same EVO 3D with alternative ROMs.

Anyway here is the first result from the ROM MikRunny V1.02

See attached picture or follow this link: http://imahgin.blogspot.com/2012/01/rom-mickrunny-v102-para-evo-3d.html
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
Honestly, benchmarks mean absolutely nothing. I don't know why people continually ask the question and use benchmarks to judge a phone/ROM. I used to have a Motorola Atrix, very similar to the Photon. The Atrix blew the 3D away in benchmarks and was nowhere near as fast. I have also used ROMs that were smoother than the next and scored lower on benchmarks. On the other hand I have also used ROMs that lagged a ton and scored higher on benchmarks. The only true way to find out which ROM is the fastest is to flash it and check it out. Also, a lot of phones act differently with different ROMs/kernels. My friend also has a 3D and what is fast and stable on my phone isn't always fast and stable on his phone.

Just check them out.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
Well, As I stated, I know the limitations of these tests but I guess that using the same device could have a positive result.

In fact, I find some ROMs faster and smoother than others and I wonder to know 'how much' just to confirm 'my feelelings'.

For example, I found ROM KingCobra3D 1.8.1 a little bit slower than MikRunny although I have some issues with sound in this last one.

Here is the result when benchmarking the KingCobra ROM: http://imahgin.blogspot.com/2012/01/rom-kingcobra3d-181.html

I had results around 6500-7500 (Antutu Benchmarks points ) when i was using MIUI ROM ( forgot the kernel )
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
WOW, that's impressive. I'll give it a try.

I tried out Leedroid but I found it unstable. In fact it crashes when performing the Open GL test thus I can't see the overall results.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
The best benchmark there is is just using your phone. Watch some videos, play some games, and just browse the web. If it seems fluid, then the phone is doing its job
[HTC EVO 3D] BrockFerens:
That's understood.

Still fun.

I got 5517 with leedroid 5.1 and anthrax kernel. Oc to 1.51.

[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
I agree with you. In fact that's what I'm doing. Every ROM that I install I perform a full testing specially video playing.

For example I found MikRunny ROM faster than others but the FM radio doesn't work so it's not suitable for me. I wonder how other users customize their EVO 3D and apply tricks to improve the phone.

This is not a competition, simply for fun.

[HTC EVO 3D] xian_online:
To the people who always inevitably chime in that benchmarks are worthless: benchmark apps are a reference tool, and are rather useful for many aspects of testing out roms and kernels. Obviously their real world value is different. I'm sorry, it may just be me, but its sort of insulting to peoples intelligence for someone to always point out the obvious about the reality of benchmarks. They are however very use full and fun and very important as reference tools.

I bench everything, come on I'm a geek, like I wouldn't dyno my Ferrari if I owned one...

shesh, some people are no fun :)

anyway, I'm running ics now so I never used anutu on my previous setups, but my fastest was 4007 quadrant on joelz cm7 with one of the anthrax kernels, and 4000 on Airborne 2.3.4 with ziggys kernel.

oh ya both on lag free at 1.72

The problem has not repeated itself in many months. Maybe it was an app that is no longer installed?

I had the same problem plus the screen would become unresponsive to the touch. When it's charging, the problem goes away.

1. clean with CCleaner

2. reboot laptop into the safe mode

3. when windows are on,i turn off my phone,then connect it to my laptop with flash mode

4. pop up "SEMC flash device" shown

5. laptop stuck

did i make any wrong step there?:confused:

as you can see on my third step,i just connect the phone with the flash mode (hold turn down volume button and connect the USB) do i need to run any programs to install the SEMC flash device?:confused:

is there's a way i can install the SEMC flash device without connect my phone?because i tried many usb_flash driver exe files i found,but none are works..:(
