[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
While i do agree with you to some extent, we are in a dillema. Without any experienced devs to work on the burst, we must resort to trial and error

This puts the burst at great risk since it is really easy to brick. The way i see it is either we wait for a dev to take pity on us and port the cm9/cm10 roms or take the plunge knowing that the next flash could be the last.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
You could just leave the phone alone. You bought an unpopular phone. AFAIK there has never been a CM build for a Pantech phone. What did you expect? There is nothing wrong with the stock ROM. Some devs have stepped in to help come up with a pretty low-risk and reliable way to root the phone, and that gives you the opportunity to debloat it and do some limited theming, ad blocking, etc. There's little to gain from CM9/10 anyway, and virtually nothing to gain from risky flashing of dodgy ROMs.

And furthermore, this thread is the only resource for many of us with legitimate concerns with this phone, and unfortunately 90% of the posts are about irrelevant junk like how do I root it, what is ADB, whoops I bricked it because I didn't bother to read how to do it right, please can I install your ROM, etc. I wish there was an OT noob forum where we could have these discussions, but there's not. So instead, sometimes a legitimate issue comes up (like your search and home buttons don't work, echo with the case on it, etc.) and you have 300+ pages of whining and wishful thinking to wade through in order to find the solution.

I'm not surprised that a) there are few if any devs working on a CM9/10 port and b) whoever these devs may be, they avoid this thread like the plague.

I heard that locked boot loader phones can revived by one or the other way easily ? Is that true ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
Your points are valid but I dont think that might stop unexperienced people from trying to port the roms anyway. Personally Im happy with the available roms and i really wish we had our own section, guess it cant be helped since the poor burst isnt popular. By the way, thfnks for the noise cancellation tip, i had read about it before I bought a case for my burst but forgot about it afterwards. Anybody trying to port should really be aware though that they might hard brick the burst, so its pretty much "proceed at your own risk" and "I told you so".

Well, noise suppression on or off did not resolve my echo problem. I called AT&T and they told me to put a piece of scotch tape over the microphone by the flash. (yeah I'm surprised that they suggested that)..but it worked! Echo completely gone..and the scotch tape isn't noticeable and I can use my case again. Ghetto, yes... The good thing is that I am still under warranty until next November and he said if I didn't like the idea of having to use tape on my phone to use it that I can get it swapped out but he said chances are the replacement would do that same..

I purchased a MHL adapter and cannot get it to work. Has anyone been able to get a MHL working on this phone, any possibility that CM9 will allow it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
That is pretty much what happened with the cm7 port. I really wish we had an experienced dev to help us out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Now that is an excellent question, and this is where a forum with devs and perhaps CM9/10 experts would be of great benefit.

For now, I am sure the best answer is that you are the new expert on this forum, since you are the only one who has actually tried it.

I seriously doubt the stock firmware on the Burst will support it, but it would be nice if I am wrong.

Shall someone give a try to CM10 next? It'll be amazing to have a working CM10 for burst.

BTW, I have a weekend ahead with virtually nothing to do. If someone can point me to porting using windows XP, I can give it a try. I have some coding experience, so that shouldn't be an issue.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Well, didn't want to mention this 'desi' method, as I had done the same to solve the issue. Just cover the rear mic (near the camera) with a tape; you don't need a picture to see how to do that. In case you are wondering, mic is on the left side of the camera, next to the LED.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
I think the CM10 effort would just add yet another non-working build to the list.

Problem will be common to all CM7/9/10, and that is that without knowing precisely how to fix hardware driver issues, just compiling it is not going to get the job done.

And, again, not to be a jerk and no offense intended, but if you have to ask on this forum for directions on how to start porting CMx, then you are not the right guy to do it. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to learn something, and in that case Google is your friend, and this forum is no help.

What we need right now is someone who already knows Android development inside and out and has worked on other CyanogenMod builds in the past, has intimate familiarity with the hardware layer of Android handsets and tablets, and THEN they may be ready to begin trying to debug the issues with the current CM9 effort.

There is a working build of ICS on the Burst, and the source code is available. Porting CM9 (or CM10) should be a simple exercise for a moderately experienced developer. Problem is those developers are working on other projects and have no interest in Pantech phones. After all of the extremely loud and obnoxious uninformed Pantech bashing that has taken place on this thread, I can't blame them. Who wants to donate their time to make something for this crowd of ingrates? I know I don't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekdemon:
There's really no reason that we have to port all of CM9 to the Burst since there's really not enough developer support for that, but if we could somehow frankenstein the CM9 launcher/dialer/contacts onto our phones it'd be close enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
I agree about the dialer and contacts. And I have actually worked on that somewhat.

Also we need the stock lock screen, get rid of this Pantech junk.

Launcher? I use ADW anyway. I don't see the big advantage of the Holo launcher, but you can put it on there if you like. That should be easy enough to do.

The problem is not ADDING these things, but in some ways they are going to require additional support beyond just jamming the apk in there. I put the dialer and contacts apk from AOSP on my phone and they would not work. There is something busted in the phone hardware interaction. I could potentially figure it out if I had an abundance of time, but I do not. Likewise the lock screen is not exactly easy. This is really buried into the OS and not as easy as just changing a file here and there. These things are annoying enough to me that I might spend some more time trying to fix them while I am on vacation at the end of this year.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parcae:
Perhaps we could organize a whip-around to donate to Quarx or another Cyanogenmod dev? I think that Quarx allows people to earmark donations for support of a new phone (and to enable him to buy the phone you want him to support).

I'm guessing that most Pantech Burst owners aren't multimillionaires, but I would happily chip in $10 or $15 to get official Cyanogenmod support.

I might have found a battery drain on the burst (presto) ics. Seems the orientation sensor is extremely sensitive. This was not this way in GB. I am trying the sensors_msm8660.so file from GB and so far seems much better
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
Based on what Pantech communicated before the release of ICS, "Burst is going to get JB though it will take some time". Earliest estimate at that time was Jan 2013, though I won't expect anything before March.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Apparently, we are never going to get a section on XDA, but it won't make sense to move to a different forum just to have a dedicated section but no real contributors. So, why don't we just start creating new threads prefixing them with [ Burst ]? One of the experienced members can prepare guidelines for what kind of posts will go in which thread, while we will use this thread as master thread for all our discussion on burst.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfmusicman:
I agree to both replies.... If you would like i can start the dev theard
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Since the burst is so very easy to brick, and there are new dev out there here are some safety tips

Never try to change the partitions. mmcbk0p13 is system. Leave it that way

Never try to repartition

Only touch erase or flash to mmcblk0p13, mmcblk0p14 mmcblk0p8 and mmcblk0p18

Do not touch any other partition
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
I think what he means is we shouldnt be messing with cm9/10 since we dont have that much experience as other devs. Your tweaks are fine though( im running 3.1 of your rom, works nice).

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

actually mine went fairly well, I tried 3 so far, one just removed the internal storage and gave the 12g to the data partition. one split the 12g between the data and an internal sd card, that was really slow so that wont work. The ideal way to fix it I am still working on, it is like the nexus type uses, sharing the storage space with data and internal storage. I know how the nexus does it now, it uses a fuse mounted folder in a fake file system. Not sure if I can reproduce how that works yet.

I would not however recommend anyone else try this as the burst is extremely easy to brick. One wrong move and you have a paper weight.
