If only

If that happens man that'd be great!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Won't be much better than the ICS ROMs we have here. They'll have video camera at least though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Why do you say that? I'm almost positive they will be fully functional and fast. The ics rims feel more sluggish then MIUI, not saying the work team douche, hell/doniqcc is poor just saying with what they are given they are doing the best they can. With all the proper drivers and source they can make ICS 10X better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monte666:
For real can't make filet mignon with hotdogs. I think the devs are freaking awesome for the ics roms that are here

What ICS ROM are you using? Anything is faster than MIUI.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Not running one have tried all but whitehawkx and the axel guys. I just don't feel the smooth/fluidity like OTA/CM7... some miui aren't slow at all, not fast but not bad
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
That's exactly how I fell!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Ouch, where did you fall from? ;)

In all seriousness, its because ICS doesn't have hardware acceleration unfortunately.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Not completely any ways. Blobs and excellent devmanship made it as close as possible though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
what do you mean by this? Isn't Team Douche the ones that got ICS working the way it is for us?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
It was who ever was working at the O2x forum "ICS 4.0 Sources Released....." If you mean those old alpha's from back in November, those are unrelated to to our ICS builds.

About HW accel, it works, but media accel doesn't work very well.

I feel that whitehawkx AOKP with the forward ported kernel works well. If you by chance judged it as sluggish because you used EB ICS build 3 and flashed a different kernel it's because you can't flash other kernels on EB ICS.

Sent from Narnia
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
It's been stated by almost all devs including arcee stating that HW accel isn't 100% just a hack to get it sort of working.

I didn't flash a different kernel on EB ICS, as it has been stated not too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
That was a long time ago, if it were that hack you would know because it would be uber sluggish with that hack.

Sent from Narnia
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
So who fixed it then? cause it feels the same as it did with arcees build 3, sure its a little smoother but not enough to be fixed 100%. Arcee made the statement about 3 weeks ago that the hack is as good as it's going to get without drivers/source...

Hello, i wipe my tablet (rom,data...) from recovery but i can't instal rom because ClockWork Recovery doesn't mount my SD CARD. So my Eee Pad just have the ClockWork Recovery and Root + S-off. How I Can instal a rom?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1205

might get a better response out of the eee pad forums as opposed to the desireHD forum.

easiest route would probably be just put your sd card into a reader or camera or any device that can let you access it via usb on your computer and then drag a rom to it and install. :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
So, currently it boots.

Phone not working.

Credits to it goes to droid-dev and of course to Quarx.

So. Like you can see in cm7 you already have 2ndboot.ko.

So, secret here.

All files here: http://fjfalcon.ru/2ndboot/

How to use it...

insmod 2ndboot.ko
mknod /dev/hbootctrl c `cat /proc/devices |grep hboot|awk '{print $1}'` 0
./hbootuser /sdcard/2ndboot/hboot.cfg

After executing last command press touchscreen... or it won't boot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
What needs to be done for phone to work.

We need to be able to boot different kernel it would help a ton with cm7 and cm9.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The milestone hackers have been stuck here for ages (well, mostly it seems they surrendered a long time ago) and I feel like they're way cleverer than I am. From what I understand, the wrigley usb modem can't be reinitialized (or at least nobody knows how to and there's a severe lack of documentation available to use) and nobody's figured out how to migrate the initialized state to the new kernel. My understanding is that they've decided that kexec wants to reinitialize everything but the modem decides to panic and die instead. I don't really know what I'm talking about, though. I think it needs new eyes. I looked at the drivers a while ago and I didn't think there was a lot of wierdness going on, it registers communication channels and can destroy them, but I guess the problem is that even that basic channel dies.

So, I been working on the ksplice approach (but haven't made any progress). Kexec would be so much easier though. I also have been thinking about making a UART... did quarx make one for defy? Do you think it's the same as the milestone one? But do we really need UART if we can already boot a custom kernel (fastboot, 2ndboot)?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Sounds very hard to do? Is their a demand for this to be done.

For myself I'm a bit burnt out on hacking on this phone.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you running on Russian sbf? Do you just take devtree from sbf? I assume cmdline comes from /proc/cmdline I just tried on xt720mod.sbf and it started, but crashed during bootanim so probably need to update cmdline and devtree. But really cool nonetheless!

I guess touching the screen is just to cause an interupt?

So what's rhe current thinking--does quarx think atags will help fix the phone? I can work on creating a module for it. Or maybe it's easier to also read atags from a file, too. Hmm. Need to figure out if atags is passed verbatim from cdt or modified by the bootloader... we can probably just save it once from boot5 via fastboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Quarx thinking that atags is only bytes.. our current problem with kexec is that function not implemented error on kexec_load

Yea, cmdline and devtree from russian sbf.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Is source for your 2ndboot.ko on github or fjfalcon.ru somewhere?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I used 2ndboot dat was.. so time ago with ms1 repo.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ah, ok. Did it work for you? I haven't had luck with these files yet. I'm about to build uart.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Yes, it was working.. =)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Thanks! Do you remember if you used:

http://gitorious.org/droid/2ndboot

or

http://xvilka.github.com/2ndboot-ng/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Here is a idea start new thread!!!!!!!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ok, got it to 2ndboot your last version (i.e. the no radio version) using CBW sbf and your CyanogenMod-7.2.0-MilestoneXT720-20120916-KANG-signed.zip build. :D Next, I'll try to rebuild all the parts.

Edit: attached fjfalcon's 2ndboot files
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Here's a WIP build based on nadlabak and skrilex_cz's latest 2ndboot source for Milestone A853. Source is at

http://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/2ndboot

With this newer 2ndboot what I notice is that ADB works and usb pluging and unplugging is detected (that didn't work for with the previous version). I don't have a SIM with me at the moment, but I assume the radio does NOT work--from what I understand there are patches to the kernel that need to be applied.

I don't think it's necessary to touch the screen to get it to boot--but I have been making sure the screen on. The boot is slower than I expect (maybe because files are being read from sdcard rather than internal, but who knows at this point). Anyway, it takes me about 3-4 minutes after running hbootuser before I see the bootanim start (your phone looks like it's crashed until bootanim starts).

I haven't been able to build a kernel that boots. It's very strange. I can build a working boot.img that works fine via fastboot, but when I take the exact same zImage and use it for 2ndboot, I can't get it to work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
I will switch phones and test this out and let you know if radio works!

i will tests your builds.

I take it you extract from zip put 2ndboot into recovery?

It could not be found in open recovery what im i doing wrong?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You extract the contents of the zip into /sdcard/2ndboot an the run /sdcard/2ndboot/2ndboot.sh (I do it via adb)

I haven't been able to run it from open recovery yet. I've tried, but it causes a full reboot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I had same issue. I tried via openrecovery and had a full reboot.

How do you do via adb (in recovery or in Android ) ? Because when I do that from android via adb it freeze.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Well, adb does freeze... you have to wait for the boot animation... and it really takes a long time. After you 2ndboot you have to think of your phone as if it were back at the (M) stage of boot, but with whatever happened to be on the screen when 2ndboot started instead of the (M).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
So I haven't wait. I will try that and tell you if I have radio. But do I have to have a custom boot.img ?

EDIT : Finally I tried : after a long time I had boot animation then screen was black. I press power button (short press) then I had M logo and bootanimation and then android. Android is fully working with radio and it doesn't ask me for pincode. But I mean I had a full reboot.

Can you confirm that I have to seen M logo with 2ndboot or that I had a full reboot ?

EDIT : When screen go black : no need to press button it reboot. I think it doesn't work and make full reboot but I am not sure.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] space4ace:
What are the exact steps to follow to make this work?

I would like to try this as well.

Thank you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Enter 2ndboot.sh command in adb shell.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Also I've only had luck with fjfalcon's CM7 over stock Milestone XT720 sbf (i.e. not modsbf). Possibly problems with boot scripts on the other ROMs. My guess about modsbf is the kernel command line is wrong and possibly there are problems with the devtree.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
I am under cm6.3 with a stock sbf (France sbf).

EDIT : With cm7 it work but no radio.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
Is there a way to get a log of what cause no-radio issue ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Go to milestone form and read on this.

They have 2ndboot with radio working.

They can do 2ndboot from recovery with custom kernel with cm10.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
With OpenRecovery it is the same. Our problem doesn't come from that.

It seens that radio is shutdown at 2ndboot and we have to 2ndboot without shuting down radio.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
There are kernel changes that need to be made that rescue the radio, but I can't get any kernels I build to 2ndboot. Fjfalcon seems to have the magic touch...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:
It that I red here :

But I tried to get source from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990735&page=10

I replaced this line :

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/prebuilt.git

by this one :

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt.git

(if I remember correctly)

but I had trouble with those lines :

git checkout --track -b eclair origin/eclair
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/kernel/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-

I tried with that :

git checkout --track -b origin/eclair
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/kernel/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi

but I haven't any .tar to extract.

So fjfalcon is the only one that have source from kernel ? or is there another way to get them ?

Or a way to get source from those files : http://android.fjfalcon.com/xt720/Kernel/

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
We have kernel sources on github in CyanogenModXT720. I can build and boot fastboot kernels, but I can't build kernels that work with 2ndboot.

https://github.com/CyanogenModXT720/android_kernel

I've been working on getting a uart setup, but I've had to travel a lot lately. I tried my uart once and seem to have damaged the USB on my dev xt720. But it could be something else and I haven't had a chance to fully check. My dev xt720 is a little flakey.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Zachary57:

[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Hey fellow XDAers :)

I'm currently running LeeDroids awesome GSM Rom, with his Kernel and a lot of others the stock speeds are 384mhz - 1.51ghz (using LagFree governor).

I'm just wondering is there any point of having it boosted from 1.18ghz to 1.51ghz or is it just overkill? I can see the Sense UI is slightly smoother, but I'm not really sure how the battery life is affected by the OC.

If I wanted to save battery life, would it be best to reduce it back to 1.18ghz or use a different governor (and what one?)

Thanks in advance,

Louis
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Gsm and cdma processors default speeds are different?
[HTC EVO 3D] king_89:
overclocked

Yes i read overclocking do take a toll on ur battery just like an engine more horsepower/cylinder more gas lol if u really need the extra speed try juce defender or something to help save you your battery while over clocking. Hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
I keep mine at 1.2ghz max as it is fast enough like that, and makes the battery last longer.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Yeah point off overclocking is that we don't need buy an new device to get some extra speed. But I think on 1.2 it runs fine to.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
No sorry, I think I worded that incorrectly. I mean with custom Kernels they usually are 1.51ghz by default.
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Oh and do people know if by default it's 1.18 or 1.21? I know it's not much difference, but i'm a little ocd :P
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
1.18ghz /10char
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If you want insane speed is what you gain tho you don't gain better battery life :D More speed the less life... . Both cores running all the time will eat it up.

If you push it too high you can burn it up.. Depends on what you want outta things...
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Well the second core isn't so active as far as I know. It has been more designed to jump in when needed.

But reason most custom roms include an overclock off 1.51Ghz is because the cpu was designed for it, HTC just under clocked it, but in the HTC Sensation XE they not underclocked it.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Ah, I see now. I get what you're saying now. Overclocking is good, but becomes detrimental when the freq starts sucking the life out the battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Aren't we underclocked from the jump. I though Chad Goodman said the actual processor speed is 1.5 by default. Per Qualcomm specs at least.
[HTC EVO 3D] Keion:
In short, yes.

OC'ing makes your phone much faster and, also helps out with benchmarks. However, battery saving is not an issue either. Most CPU control apps will allow you to set a different frequency when the phone is closed so it saves batter. For example, I'm on zr3d right now and my normal profile is 1.7x ghz. When the screen is off, it scales conservatively from 192 to 540 mhz. Gives better performance and better battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol That will save you life when your screen is off but not when your running a game or hammerin away at stuff :D
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
OC beyond Quallcoms spec 1.53ghz is pointless and good for nothing but killing your battery. There are a great many here who gush over high benchmarks but that means absolutely nothing in "real world" performance no matter how much they tell themselves that it does. Just sayin....
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Thanks for all your reply's :)

But for the average use (browsing, video streaming, bit of gaming, messaging) what should I set as my max OC as? And what is the best governor for battery + performance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Keion:
Nope.jpeg. I was playing canabalt the other day at 1.5X ghz. It was the tiniest bit choppy so I upclocked to 1.7. Perfect performance and, also real world performance I believe(actually it's a game so its not real life).

Best settings I'd say would be 1.5 ghz on interactive/intellianthrax guvner while screenon and .5 or .3 ghz conservative/powersave while screen off. Or, for heavy stuff, go all the way up to 1.7/1.8 ghz.

So basicly my questions:

1. Will i have problems with root when i want to update to ICS

2. If i update to ICS will root stay or do i have to re-root

3. If yes for question 2 will there be root for ICS the first day ICS will arrive?

4. My last question can someone give me a link for a good tutorial to root my xperia s..?

Thanks all

If you don't really understand what rooting your phone means then I would suggest that you don't really have a need to do it.

If you want to know how to unlock your bootloader and root your XS then read the relevant stickies in the Dev Forum, they explain everything in detail, you just have to spend the time to read them.
