[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
I have been trying to port or learn how to, but the burst is really weird. I would think that the phone should at least boot if I changed only the app section by taking the apps from a 2.3.5 build for skyrocket and copy that over the apps for the burst rom. But no, both are the same android version, yet it wont even boot. Before you ask , yes I even tried with the sky and pantech apps as well.

as far as the kernels, I have not gotten one to even compile yet. where did you get the arm-eabi-4.4.0 toolchain, all the links are either dead or go to a newer toolchain that doesnt work.

System update from AT&T

I recently looked to see if they had one and they do

3.3MB

Wondering if anyone got it yet and if its to the point where we as rooted users can install it ourselves using cwm recovery

IT WON'T INSTALL DUE TO CWM RECOVERY INSTALLED

That much I know

Response back much appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
3.3MB is not nearly big enough to be anything but a very minor update. I haven't found the AT&T OTA updates to install on the rooted phone, but I have no issues at all with my Burst so there is no real need to upgrade it. An ICS upgrade is going to be 10s of MB at least.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
Check out the Pantech Burst Essentials link in my sig. Marcusmarcus did a nice writeup on it and in there we have a backup of the newest update installed. you will need to re root after but the CWM will stay no problem.

I was flipping threw the zip (not sure what exactly I was looking for) but I noticed or maybe I missed it there is no zImage or boot.img there is a kernel file but I wasn't sure if it was compiled or not yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mifl:
Hi

The kernel has been compiled from the source of Pantech, following the steps in the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29439476&postcount=893.

This kernel was added to the device tree, including the following code in the file presto.mk:

ifeq ($(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL),)
LOCAL_KERNEL := device/pantech/presto/kernel/kernel
else
LOCAL_KERNEL := $(TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL)
endif

TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := device/pantech/presto/kernel/cyanogen_presto_defconfig

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
$(LOCAL_KERNEL):kernel

This prebuilt kernel is used by the majority of the CyanogenMod roms.

The hardest part is identifying the proprietary files used by Pantech to build the ROM. The identified are listed in the file "proprietary-files.txt" in the root of the device. These I have taken from the official rom "JUUS06252012.zip" posted in: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28602800&postcount=4. But perhaps not all the files needed for everything to work properly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
Im dumb, err.. I mean brave..lol I'll flash it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
DO NOT FLASH, the partition information is incorrect. the compiled cwm script is correct but the rest is using mmcblk0p12 for system instead of mmcblk0p13

also found the mdm partition is wrong, it is using mmcblk0p18 ours is mmcblk0p19

and the sdcard is wrong, it is using 17 ours is 27 looking for where to change the values
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
What is the correct pit?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
partitions should be

mmcblk0p8 is boot (correct)

mmcblk0p13 is system (it has 12)

mmcblk0p14 is data (it has 13)

mmcblk0p15 is persist

mmcblk0p16 is cache

mmcblk0p17 is tombstones

mmcblk0p18 is recovery

mmcblk0p19 is mdm

not really sure what it had for cache and mdm but it was not correct.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:

So I pulled a working one apart and replaced the kernel with the compiled one.

No errors

I then put it back together and I'm getting the boot.img is like half the original size (even tho the kernel files were pretty close to almost deadon the same size) and when I try to send to boot I get this

>fastboot boot boot_new.img
downloading 'boot.img'...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Yes that is about what I am getting as well. Seems like there is a 2nd part to the oem boot.img that is lost when we break it apart. I have managed to grab the second part but I have not found a way to decompile it or to reinsert it and get the file lenght correct ( winds up too big actually) I have attached what I think is the missing 2nd part. just not sure what to do with it.

I would go into the irc chat and check with them (you might have to stay logged in for awhile as they're not all in there all the time) as attn1 and jcase and the others are the one that built or modified it to work for us if I remember right
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
This is kind of a generic walkthrough on building recovery. I used it for recovery on the crossover, but that was easy since it had mtd partitioning.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html

I would agree to hit them up on irc. Although the files should already be in the device tree to compile recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
well I started to try to mod the cwm recovery only to find adb is up in cwm recovery so there already is a way to get into bootloader.

that said, I hope someone else is having better luck than I am. I have the boot.img actually booting my burst in JUUS06252012's rom. But my compiled cm7 build fails, even adb fails.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
That's the exact situation I'm running into. Adb only works when booting the boot.img by itself.

---------- Post added 16th August 2012 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th August 2012 at 11:59 PM ----------

You could try getting ahold of jznmoney(sp?) On burst chat. He has a device tree that results in a booting compile. I might give him a shout later. Might get lucky and he will share.

The mkbootimg commands can be added in the boardconfig

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

I just had a thought, you are using the mkbootimg command that was listed right? Because the values listed in the presto.mk are wrong. I think it was base address and ramdisk address.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mifl:
I think the correct value is:

BOARD_FORCE_RAMDISK_ADDRESS: = 0x41400000.

But I have to go to work and I can not prove.

a greeting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
confirmed BOARD_FORCE_RAMDISK_ADDRESS:=0x41400000 also BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x40200000
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
However I can not confirm that the BOARD_FORCE_RAMDISK_ADDRESS is actually being used. If I compile a rom and try to boot with the resulting boot.img, it fails. but if I spilt that boot.img and put it back together manually the new boot.img will boot. Only difference in the boot.img is the reassembled one does have the ramdisk address of 0x41400000. Just so people dont get too hopeful, the boot.img boots, not the rom. Get the boot.img to boot first then work upward.

As we all anxiously await a new rom (and how about cwm?) I broke down and alleviated my annoyances with the market. My wife got a new xperia ion and it made my burst look quite homely. The fix was "LCD Density Modder " and set to 200 dpi. Much better. Then "Widget Locker " fixes the real most annoying thing. Along with adw launcher these really spruce up the burst. Now I can wait for a new rom without driving myself crazy with that lock screen and giant ui elements from stock.

Seems like 4.5 bubble gum will come out before we see Ics :-\
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
lowering the DPI makes everything appear smaller; fonts, icons, the status bar, all menu text, etc. All smaller. I set the desktop grid to 5x5 icons, looks great, works great.

raising the DPI makes everything appear bigger.

The default is 240dpi. I changed it to 200dpi and find my notifications don't scroll off of the status bar, I don't have to scroll through menus nearly as much, etc.

One little quirk is that the menu using the menu button has a transparent background now instead of default black or dark gray. Need to figure out why.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
um, I am confused. Shouldn't lowering the dpi make everything appear bigger? Let's say an icon which is 240x240 pixels should have earlier occupied 1x1 sq. inch, and now should occupy 1.2x1.2 sq. inch.

Finally a ROM

Hurrah, we finally have a rom.

Now its all about tweaking and we can get a stable cm9
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
The actual DPI of the screen is not changing. You are just chaging how many dots the OS thinks it can fit into an inch. Remember the display renders elements based on the physical size, not on dot size. So an icon is only 240x240 pixels if the OS wants to make a 1" icon on a 240dpi display. If the OS thinks it has a 200dpi display, then a 1" icon (the same icon) will be rendered as 200x200 pixels.

So if you have an item that the OS thinks needs to be 1", then it will print 240 dots if it thinks it's 240 dpi, and it'll only print 200 dots if it thinks it's 200dpi. So if you have an actual 240dpi screen and you change the setting to 200dpi, then everything will be printed smaller because the OS thinks an inch only requires 200 dots.

And FWIW, the transparent menu glitch was alleviated in my phone by chaging to 208dpi, which has negligible or zero effect on rendered graphics sizes but gets rid of some display oddities. So I will suggest 208dpi, or maybe 192dpi if you think things are too big with 208dpi.

Ahh that's it. I got it booted now. It does seem very quick and responsive. I can confirm wireless does not work, Cannot turn on wifi or bluetooth, mobile data says it is on but it is not really. Cannot make or receive phone calls. Screen looks really wierd some times when scrolling, I think this is due to the fact hardware acceleration it not working. I know when I had my Samsung Galaxy Player, they had ICS ported to it and it was very responsive but it acted laggy or wierd screen once in a while because it did not have hardware acceleration either. The devs said it would not have it until they get 3.0 kernel working for it.

This is great news though. Good work!!!

Rolling back to my backup though just so I can get calls again.
