Eagerly awaiting the awesomeness :D

I am so very *very* excited about this thread.. omg.. ICS is going to be epic on the Raider/Vivid. I wish there was some way for me to help build it, but when it comes to linux I'm a n00b. I'm just competent enough to flash my phone with roms. Anything beyond that is well.. beyond my skillset, to say it nicely.. ;) I'm really excited though!! I dunno, I'm running the HoliRaider 1.5a rom atm and its pretty decent, I just want ICS (and of course the CM9 version is the way to go - stock can kiss my Canadian ass. :D ) and maybe a louder headphone jack lol...my Sennheisers are hungry.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] miguelpaddy:
Thanks to all developers working hard bring cm9 to vivid

I can't wait for first build
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
progress..?

..bump? :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dagnus:
stop bumping!

read the title of this reply ^^ .. clearly, if you roll through all the pages, youll find that the devs like to update us from time to time, and so like the rest of us, just chill out and wait.

thanks,

D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bigballa:
if you wanna follow progress...check the github pages instead those actually let you know about updates and when they happened to which part of the os it happened too. even for people like me who are rom flasher crazy but dont know everything its easy to find out whats happening if you have ever unzipped a rom and browsed through everything... reading is learning
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
hi,

is there anything I can do to help this project...looks like this is going to be the holy grail when it is released!!

Thanks

Looks like cayniarb of Team Tiamat has built an ICS Aosp kernel for our device:

http://tiamat-dev.com/2012/02/ics-tiamat-kernels-for-21-htc-devices/

http://tiamat-dev.com/holiday/
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
What does this really mean....with no Rom to base this with or am I missing something in that tread? Nice find btw
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
It could allow our devs to mainly focus on getting ROM to work and not have to worry about kernel.

However according to his note:

EDIT:

TBH, the development for this has been slow compared to others, I mean the main thread hasn't been updated in over a month, and the last update on the 8th there are still some very big issues present. In addition we can't exactly follow the progress due to the fact that git repos on the first page has also not been updated in a month. No disrespect to the devs however, I really do appreciate the effort. Just an observation. I also understand that them being LTE devices its a pain. Better off waiting for the official Sense ICS rom, that may provide some help with an ICS AOSP ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
Wee can dream for now! lol

I wonder when telstra ia actually going to release the ICS update...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
Just noticed that the pic on the first page says the kernel is actually made by cayniarb as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
The issue is more that this device doesn't have many devs at the moment. Between pirateghost, wildchild and banacakes they can only push so far. I would love to try my hand at dev work but I don't have a clue where to start. I know they work with some of the other devs to try and push development forward. Maybe with the tiamat kernel we will see some new news coming soon :).

Cool to hear your still around.....have u had any breakthrus lately ...

Git hub hasn't been updated it a while... Just getting a lil antsy that's all. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
Any updates? :-) saw cm9 alpha on a friend's evo 3d and got all jazzed up! Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
Doh! You just smashed all my hopes and dreams in one comment. Lol. Dang it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Hey why don't you fire up ubuntu, compile cm9 ics, fix all the errors and flash it 20 times or so to test it out, and update it regularly if not then why are you talking shiit.

Were all upset at the development for this device but you at like its easy and that's not encouraging no one
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] amlaria:
just chill and take a look at htc @ mwc 2012, official ics isnt far off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
Holy cow. Take some pills. Maybe say a prayer or two. I'm sad that the development of cm9 is stopping from this dev. That's it. I never said anything rude. Hence the LOLs I tossed in.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Lol in refrence to the EVO 3d, no one else

Trust me I want want miui, I even looked into getting a gs2 or iPhone but then I won't have insurance on my phone...but to knock someone for something you probably dont how to do and spam a major thread is uncalled for.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
Don't think the dev is stopping, there's just a lot of work to do and not much time for the devs to do it. Everyone has lives outside just working on these roms. And with some of the drama going on its kinda bumming everyone out. Lets just have patience and support the work everyone is doing.

I bought this device knowing the community and the development isnt as far ahead as the other devices available.

We will see things coming along and happening. from what i gather there is a kernel made, They are trying to work out the major bugs that are keeping the rom from being stable enough to work with. once does are done we should see an alpha (hopefully).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
So incredibly confused at peoples comments. Who's spamming the thread? What? Nvm.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] xboarder56:
the amaze has like 4 active devs too lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
yeah, the market has been saturated with so many handsets, it is unreal....NRGZ cooks for multiple devices so do the virtuous team, they release the same rom cooked for a load of devices....MAYBE this situation is calling for a new breed of dev..

I sent you a PM regarding helping you fund you Vivid purchase, not sure if you checked them..I am willing to help you out if it brings a new dev to the forum!

you may be the last standing hope for the Vivid!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Y'all:

Stop. Just stop the dang flame wars and whatnot.

Ok, now that's out of the way-- I've been really busy here lately. My home server crapped out on me the other night (hdd died, and bad caps on the mainboard), so that's a big setback for my personal business situation (don't worry, nothing CM9 was on it, just a few preview builds).

Like I've said, my github will be updated as progress is made, and when significant progress is made, I'll post it here.

If you really want the day-to-day, come on IRC and ask. Nobody's gonna jump at you or insult you for asking as long as you ask politely.

Back to topic: I've gotten some new drivers from the ICS leak, and they look promising, as well as the fact that cayniarb (tiamat) has made a kernel supporting bcmdhd, and I believe toastcfh's kernel now supports our device too.

What does this mean? Wifi.

I don't believe wifi would have worked with the current kernel I was using to try wifi fixes on (I may be incorrect, however).

Anyway, as usual, I'll post here when I have more information... for now, it's 2:33AM and I've got class at 9AM. Goodnight all!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
Thanks for the update :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Push me these kernels and possiably a way to flash them from recovery, we may have ics by tonight :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
Thread cleaned. Please don't feed the trolls just report them.

And for the record coming into a device section and telling people to go buy another device because it's better or has more development is in fact being a troll.

Any more flames or troll posts will lead to disciplinary actions.

Thanks and have a great day.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ghostdogg:
Thanks for the clean up! Scary what a little inattention will do to people.

Thought I'd offer an update on my situation as well. I've been out of town/state since my last post due to a combination of work and family emergencies so I literally haven't even had a chance to turn on my "brand new, custom built" build PC since my last update.

I assure everyone interested I'm as anxious to make progress and play with the build as everyone who's waiting. This week is looking promising for some down time so with a little luck I'll have time to sync changes and implement driver/kernel changes that have occurred since.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
Glad to hear the update from you guys!

I'll be trolling the git for updates a bit more knowing you guys are still around :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
Thanks your guys for hard work to bring ICS. Hope the ICS is coming soon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MisterSchnapps:
cubed, did you get my PM?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mrakifa:
ICS is here!!! And it is amazing!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Hoping the recent release gives some much needed help to the CM9 Development...

Would love a CM build on Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Please keep it on-topic, guys. There are appropriate threads for the other ICS releases.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pstevep:
if HTC then releases some source, it would be more of a help.

Yes, if you are going to discuss the other ics builds please do so in the appropriate threads. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DallasJones:
I love you thecubed <3
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] timmytim:
Can someone please post a link to this CM9 build? I don't have a way to compile it from the git until next week but I want to continue the build tonight with the Tiamat ICS kernel and new drivers that came with our ICS OTA
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russell1997:
I've been away from the forums for a while, can anyone confirm that cm can now run on the vivid via the OP?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
Nope, not yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] plasticbiker:
Dev Support, needs, plans, etc

So I know you mentioned before that you computer crapped out, I'd love to help if you're planning to continue working this. PM and let me know what you need.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russell1997:
Sad panda :-(

Thanks for the update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
No work will be done until HTC releases kernel sources, said by thecubed himself.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] timmytim:
I have an ICS kernel for Vivid / Raider. I need the CM9 ROM that thecubed has. I have no access to a Linux machine until next week and was hoping that someone had a zip that was already compiled that they could PM me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Go to the linux site and install it through windows
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] timmytim:
Haha, the Linux site.......

I have a linux box at home. I'm traveling with a company comptuer. I cannot install anything on it as I dont have admin rights, otherwise I'd have VirtualBox and Ubuntu on it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
I don't have the file as its still useless to us Raider folk... However, have you tried booting from a CD or USB? Ubuntu and linuxMint both have bootable live iso's.

If its a Mac, hold C while it powers up. With PCs , its often del, f3 or f8 but watch the screen during the inititial boot and it will flash a message hopefully.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] synergye:
I have ICS builds and am down to test out kernels that differ from Tiamat source. PM me to explain also. Though I don't understand any issue the new HTC kernel source is required to fix.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
Its mostly driver related, having to port our drivers from gingerbread to the new framework is a bit more complicated then just symlinking a few files around. Altho im probably blowing smoke, I cant see the sense ICS drivers working very well with CM9. HTC must add alot of different tweaks and stuff in their binaries to get it working with Sense. While CM9 would be using different libs to acheive the same effect.

I am sure we will see some advancement soon tho, we got a few really smart guys working on it!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] TDQuiksilver:
CM9 for the Vivid would be fantastic. Can't wait thecubed! :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DallasJones:
Is there any news on when HTC will release the source code?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
ICS hasn't even been released to the public yet, so i imagine once the OTA actually goes out officially HTC will post it. Hopefully they actually do what they have publicly stated and follow Android licence and release source the day of its launch

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
The question is that when the ICS OTA will come. I just can't wait :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brand New:
Oh gosh this is going to be awesome!!!!!!

If you need a tester pm me!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Mmm CyanogenMod. Can't wait to experience Android at its finest for just an hour or so... before my battery dies.

(waiting for someone to tell me CM9 won't have the typical **** CM battery life)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] omgzilla85:
you must have been doing something wrong.when I ran cm7 on my evo I could easily get a full day of battery life with moderate use.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ghostdogg:
Please guys, this is a development thread. Pertinent information is appreciated, arguments and opinions don't belong here.

There are 183 messages in this thread and only about 10 of them are appropriate. The status of the project has been explained. Any progress will be updated when sources become available.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Maybe, but then I must be consistent with doing something wrong... horrible battery life on an Incredible, Aria, Captivate, and Droid. Love CM but never had much luck with battery life.

Well let's see. I am autistic and did not speak until I was about five years old. I also suffer from hypoglycemia, and congestive heart failure. I also attempted suicide at age fourteen, after which I was diagnosed with depression and severe anxiety disorder. So yes, maybe through some eyes, I am retarded. Just to answer your question. Although I like to think I am not a very judgmental person, nor do I lack basic morality and humility. In which case, in comparison, you would be the "****ing retarded" individual for being the opposite.

Could have worded my original opinion minus the vulgar, too. But yes, you have a point. At first I was bitter, thinking all the whining users and leaving devs were babies, making a big deal out of something rather small. But now I understand, rather clearly, why some have left. Too many "retarded" people with this phone I see.

I apologize. Back on topic.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
In my opinion there are different ways of checking the battery status and reasons for it dying fast. May be you were doing something incredibly wrong with all of your devices (one of your fav. App maybe?) Check why is it not going to deep sleep using CPU spy? Install better battery status to see more information.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jojo54696:
Just got a brand new Galaxy nexus today and haven't got a chance to root it yet. But i was seriously appalled by the fact that it doesn't support usb mass storage, which i did not know before buying it.

I just wanted to know, will rooting make usb mass storage possible?

no sd card and now this? I mean i love the phone but i can only take so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So you bought a Galaxy Nexus, but didn't know it didn't support UMS?

What's your specific problem with MTP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jojo54696:
MTP?

Yes i did buy it without knowledge of that. I guess that's what i deserve for not reading fine print?

You failed to answer my question though...

Rooting must enable mass storage though or how would roms be flashable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donlad:
ROMs are transferred to the phone via MTP on Windows, just like music and videos are transferred.

MTP is the replacement for USB Mass Storage. You can still transfer files back and forth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jojo54696:
Thank you. I came from an incredible and i guess i expected everything to be the same.

My bad for posting prematurely and now i probably look pretty stupid, but i can blame it on it being late. thanks for your help anyway.

Looks like a got it figured out. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
your question still wasnt answered. and yes some roms offer it i believe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
MTP does not transfer everything.

Try transferring your titanium backup files from your Nexus to your PC via MTP. I dare you. They're NOT there when you look at the Nexus from the PC-end.

Extracting stuff via "adb push" works fine though. This, and not having a drive-letter (so that things cant be scripted) was one motivation for me to start working on this thing:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423392
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiabea:
Google/Samsung switched to MTP because now the OS and the files are on the same partition. So if you would mount the whole partition as mass storage your android would get down :-D

Maybe it could work with creating a new partition? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chizzy58:
please please please work on this!!

I NEED UMS support bad!:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Just transferred my contents backed up by TiBu. Works fine.

You are right, they are not viewable from PC to phone. They transfer and copy fine (entire directory).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
figure out how to put a SD card in the nexus and i bet it will work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edwardlanti:
Really? I transferred my titanium folder from Sensation 4G and it worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
For what reason?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
tried this many times. titanium transferring works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chizzy58:
Well, my problem is I work on pc's , sometimes a customer's machine doesn't get the Ethernet or wireless drivers after and install. I would normally download them on my droid x and use mass storage to transfer the file over....that works in windows 7...NOTin xp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
it's called a flash drive, have you heard of those?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thequinox:
I'm sure the OP has heard of a flash drive. However it would be much easier to just mount the phone like he has done in the past to transfer the downloaded file. Fishing out a USB OTG adapter, flash drive, and transferring is just extra steps.

Yes, a flash drive is probably the best bet for now... but I see why the OP finds it less than ideal compared to what he was used to.

Perhaps someone will come out with a custom ROM that has a new partition scheme to allow UMS. I personally wouldn't mind having a little 512MB partition on here for just that purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No no no. Keep the files on the flash drive. Plug it into the computer. Win? Or if you need to find new drivers, you surely have a laptop you can use at work. Faster to find + download then using the phone anyway.

Having your phone + USB cable to hook it up to the computer is more cumbersome than just keeping the drivers for your work on flash drive :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krausy87:
What if you need to transfer different files back and forth, and don't always keep a flash drive on you? I found with my HTC Desire that having mass storage was very useful for when I didn't have a flash drive... Admittedly, I can use my gnex for the same thing as all computers I use have win7 - but that is beside the point!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
Surely it is possible to create some app, so as far as the PC is concerned it is connected to a USB device, but on the phone something else is occurring? Through some buffer or something...

I'm interested as well, as I'm having some trouble setting my Fedora laptop to talk as MTP. I'm comfortable transferring files via ADB but it can be a chore, and obviously none of my friends will have adb on their computers so transferring files socially will be a little hampered...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
Just ordered USB otg .. but its a cable made by Nokia... should be fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
This is the original Samsung OTG cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ULZD7U/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Kinda expensive for a freaking cable, but what are you gonna do. The cheaper ones look REALLY flimsy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
so I see it's possible to connect a flash drive to the nexus, in the meantime I wrote a little script to copy my photographs from the nexus to my laptop using adb, and then sync them to dropbox. Easy enough.

Transferring files socially I'll have to use dropbox or go back to Bluetooth …
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
I just use eStrongs file manager over wifi - haven't used a cable in years...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackrv:
Just install one of the webdav server apps for free. You can then mount your nexus virtual sd as a drive with a letter in both Mac and Windows. As soon as I walk into my house, my virtual sd is accessible to all of my computers and any application the require a drive letter to browse it. I use davdrive, but there are many others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
how is the speed for transferring.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
This is a very informative thread. But still, nobody really fully explained what MTP is and the many benefits of it.

MTP stands for "Media Transfer Protocol". There is ton's of discussion about how it relates to Google 4.x on the net. Here are just two that are helpful...

Short discussion from AndroidCentral that gets right to the point.

Longer thread on reddit originated by Android Engineer, Dan Morrill.

Also, here's a market link to Wifi File Explorer Pro, which works great with MTP. It should work with any version of Windows. It's only 99 cents. Don't even bother with the free version that doesn't let you upload. It's a matter of taste, but I like this app better than WiFi File Transfer - nicer interface, IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
I still don't see why it isn't possible to mount the entire device through USB in recovery mode. Since the os isn't running it can't crash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Recovery is running..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
But in partitioned devices you can mount /system? Where does it run from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
For those of you who are curious, if you ever need to push something to your phone in order to save it

mount data in recovery

you just adb push /data/media and it will work.

data/media= sdcard on gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
You can do it with StickMount or Easy UMS.
