As do I. My knowledge is pretty much zilch compared to these guys, but I was on IRC for a bit, too, and cayniarb seems to be very nice and willing to help with the kernel, and the other 3 guys in here obviously are willing to work on the ROM part of it. They'll get it figured out in no time, I'm sure.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Better count me as one of those guys!

Maybe after i've sobered up a bit though, lol :p

Cayniarb is awesome, and with his help we'll be good to go in no time. I know what my time will be going to; ICS here we come!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Haha...I was counting you, drob311, and kaijura. Did I miss someone else?

Anyway, let me know if you need any testers. I don't know anything about building a ROM or a kernel, but I'm capable of hitting a few buttons to flash things and tell you if they work or not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I saw jmztaylor's git for express related material, he seems to have been messing with the kernel for some time. :p

A few months ago I was just an ordinary flasher. You too, could be a dev with some time invested. There's so many different ones. We got kernel devs, rom devs, hboot/root devs, etc - everyone's got their little niches.

Ok, so sort of on topic. Yeah it was from the init.rc that was calling it in the bootclasspath. I extracted the stock boot.img and modified the ramdisk portion. Didn't help though, ended up getting the same errors after I put it all back together.. so still sort of stuck for now.

One weird thing was I noticed flashing the cm7 would install stuff in the /system/ partition some of the time, but when I browse with shell /system/ is empty the rest of the times. Not sure what's causing it to do this, going to have to look into it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
The kernel is being just as stubborn... Im making good progress, fixing errors as they pop up... One by one :)

Ohh the joy!!!

Too true! I was a flasher (that's what she said) for two years and 4 devices before building a rom.

hmm, could your updater-script be the culprit? might be adding/removing things if you haven't looked too closely. Take a look. Let me know if you need/want help

If there is an aosp kernel that needs to be tested I will build a recovery for it. I don't really care about asop as much as touch recovery :)

kernel does not boot recovery. I immediately swapped that kernel out with a known good one and I was able to boot recovery. So might still need some tweaking.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killahrey:
So has anyone been able to compile an aosp rom? Tiamat is working on an also kernel but we need an aosp rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
I can test an aosp kernel by compiling recovery. The kernel is really the important thing needed here. The rest can come after the kernel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
I will try to once I've released my final HC build in a day or two.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killahrey:
you should get with tiamat my friend.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Just a bump to try and keep this alive.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I still need a proper kernel first, so I can figure out what's wrong with booting so I know it's not the kernel.

This is the hard part, getting started. The roms and all the customizations come later after this hurdle is accomplished. I tried my hand at compiling an AOSP GB kernel tonight, just so we could start somewhere like CM7.

But I am extremely new to kernel developing. It did not come out as I hoped it would.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
Honeycomb kernel source is up at htcdev...

Sent from my PG06100
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Yeah, understandable. I'm guessing cayniarb hasn't had much luck, either.

Well, at least this means we might get some of those custom things that people were wanting on the Honeycomb ROMs, like working capacitive buttons and whatnot. I don't know how much it will help development of a 4.0 kernel, since this is Sense.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Well, I downloaded and compiled it and it doesn't boot. And within the time of me downloading it and compiling the link was removed. So I dunno whats going on with it. But I was planning on having a kernel out tonight but guess not

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
Yeah I'll download it and give it a shot...

I'm at work right now and they had a gate runner so the base is completely locked down. Looks like I'm not going home anytime soon. LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
Wow! That sucks! Well, so far so good, it's compiling fine with no errors, so far... I don't own an evo view, I'm sure this kernel would work on my shift but I'm not feeling that ballsy today... Once it's done, I'll post a link to the zImage. If I can get my hands on a h.c. boot.img, I'll get a flashable kernel posted. Bone stock nothing added, we need to test if it boots before we start adding cool $hit.

Things could be heating up for the view again! :)

Jmz, I just found your h.c. rom for the view, I'm gonna download that and pull out the boot.img, extract the ramdisk using splitboot, and repackage the ramdisk and new zImage using splitboot creating a flashable boot.img... Shouldnt be too long, the kernel is almost done compiling... :)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Reviving this thread. We need to get to work on a kernel. So I'm going to find a good aosp kernel for a device similar to ours to use as a base. Then upload it to github. Other devs can fork it and send pull requests for it if they make any significant changes. But this is my new project. The Rom part can come later. Basic kernel functionality can be tested via compiling recovery with it. So if you are wanting to contribute and actually can please let me know. I think since we have hc source now we should go straight for cm9.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I saw while building cm kernel they put in express as one of the options in the menuconfig. But I don't think it is correctly set up to build properly, kept getting errors so I gave up. Cayniarb has an ics kernel in this thread but it didn't work on a cm kang I tried.

I would still work on a gb base atleast until ics is improved, the roms are still pretty much functional but not fully operational for the msm7x30/qsd8660. While cm7 theoretically should have everything working.

I would imagine the speedy is the closest thing to ours... I actually got a location using a cm7 kernel from them when I randomly tested some.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Yeah its missing the board files. So those need to be added in. Is there any Wimax HTC device that actually has it working on aosp?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Okay, so it looks like the Flyer guys are getting pretty close to a CM9 build. Once they get theirs working, would one of our guys be able to take that, modify the kernel to fit the View, and make it work for us? I figure the radio still wouldn't work, but the other things should, or at least be close to working.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Possibly. Do we know where their repo is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:

It looks like it's working for the them on CM7, but I don't see anyone posting about data/wimax not working. I thought one of the guys who posted here own the shift (speedy)

There's a CM9 for them as well but it doesn't look fully functional.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
Cm7 for shift is fully functioning, including wimax. Cm9 for the shift does not have wimax incorporated yet... Ive been super busy trying to build an ics sense kernel for the shift and its not fun, as I have run into the same issue with the boards that jmz and myself ran into attempting cm7 kernel build...

Sent from my PG06100
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
I found the sources cyaniard(sp?) has. Which includes speedy also Express. I built but non booting but I only found it late last night
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
I have access to cayniarb's kernels directly from his DB. He has an ICS kernel for the express built already and told me that we just need to get a rom out. I don't know how to code, but if I can help in any other fashion, tell me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Does anyone know the partition sizes of the express?

Preferably in byte format so I can put it in boardconfig. I made an ics rom but it doesn't boot, I'd like to rebuild with the proper partition sizes defined. I just took a wild guess and converted hex.

Cat proc/mtd I'm not getting any values
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killahrey:
would dumping the mmcblk0 give you this info? Like by seeing how big each img is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
It's an emmc device so it would be /proc/emmc. But those values have only to do with recovery iirc. Look at my github for my device folder for the Express. It has the right values in boardconfig
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
come join me in irc please. freenode #flyer-view
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
I'll try to hop on later tonight (west coast here)

I did try the values on your git, jmz, while I was searching on git for anyone with android_device_htc_express ;)

Was it these?

BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00400000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0087f400
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x43fffe00
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x2005ffe00
BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072

They didn't work out, sadly. I think the flash block is fine. The kernel base address was like 0x0CC000 or something like that, off the top of my head, pulled it from the stock kernel. That's the right one, right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Yeah but I'm building now. What device did you use as a template?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drob311:
Prolly should use the evo shift aka speedy 7.1 or the latest nightly (255)... 7.2 is broken... But its a kernel problem...

Sent from my PG06100
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Yup, I used the speedy as a template for everything wimax related, mecha for every other missing parameter. Since the view is the 8655 + T chipset, I imagine it's just the mecha + 500mhz overclocked plus a wimax module addition.

I'll have my sources pushed to git later if they are needed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmz:
Are you doing cm7 or cm9
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
have built both, the one I did last night was CM9/AOKP/CAF material.

http://github.com/ThePlayground

I'm pretty sure I got the device setup correctly today, converted all the hex values properly. But the device doesn't boot at all. Just white screen with no logcat or kernel log output...

Not sure what is up, if it is kernel related (used cayniarb's 03-01-2011 express ics kernel) or something else.

Meanwhile in flyer land, they've gotten ICS booted and with a kernel. The kernel source is not updated yet, though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] @Bill_Dollar:
All good things. We're making progress. I'd really like to get the wifi card .ko file able to enter monitor mode. can't wait to get to the Rom Dev. The Flyer is the new OG Evo! LOL!

Hi guys,

Yesterday we uploaded all sources we have now for a booting ICS(ramdisk, kernel etc.) at the Flyer Development thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569060) (buggy screen, wifi not working, some graphic problems and more), feel free to try around with the source and help us fix errors, so we maybe can speed up the progress and make ICS come closer for EVO View and Flyer :)

@kaijura any way I can help? I have a laptop running a clean install of ubuntu ready to go. PM, email, or yell loudly and I'm there. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
+1 on this.. I'm all down for helping
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaijura:
Yes, I have marked and checked out the flyer ICS source, but between a bunch of projects right now I haven't been actively trying to work on it. Right now I'm trying to get camcorder working on msm7x30 ics > which translates to camcorder later working for all of us on flyer/view AOSP ics.

I think it's not too hard to do a diff job with the flyer source and compare to what is needed to be defined in the view source. Basically grab the view HC source off HTC dev, look in chaosz-x's flyer kernel repository and find the differences between what's change in the flyer source vs his configuration. Look in chaoszx_defconfig and mirror it for the view HC defconfig. Then apply the same patches he did in flyer for the view.

As long as the kernel builds fine after mirroring his setup we should have a replica of theirs.

Yea I get your point. I can't answer that. I like it so far but haven't set it as my default. I use the stock ICS browser

Does anyone know how to change user agent settings here?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:

Sup everyone want to ask you a question in my decision of a tablet. Well i recently bought a kindle fire and after a using it with cm7, ive really liked using android and a tablet. So im thinking of upgrading to a another tablet with better specs and bigger screen. I was looking at the asus transformer tf101 and acer a500 cuzz there both in my price range used. So which is better? Should i buy either one, hold out for something upcoming or stick with the fire. I was sold on asus tf101 because it got the ics update.
[General Questions and Answers] footpatherraja12:
Hmm That;s great
[General Questions and Answers] nitrojuga:
Well from a quick google search, the a500 looks a bit cheaper than the other one. I'd just ask myself if ICS is worth the extra money. It really depends on what you use your tablet for. You may be fine just keeping the fire.

Asus 101 had it loved had to sell it Acer is super thick wouldn't go that route plus t.f. can be a laptop if needed
[General Questions and Answers] eksasol:
I've used both and I like the Acer A500 more. They both are the same spec, the Acer build quality is good actually.

The Transformer can be a laptop, but to me its pointless because it is a tablet and if I wanted to buy it for laptop ability then I would have bought a Windows laptop to run Microsoft Office or other heavy desktop program that Android can't.

The real reason I prefer the A500 is that it has a fullsize USB on the device itself, this is a big win. But the Asus sliding tablet has both a slideout keyboard and USB which beats them both in term of functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] Bfitz26:
USB is nice however you can buy a USB host and your good Acer seemed way to thick compared to Asus imo
