I'd wait for the next iteration unless you really really just want to play. The home screens and settings pages are almost impossible to use due to display issues. Language is a mixed bag, even when set in English, part of the GUI stays in other languages.

share please what you gonna do to fix the wifi

tnx
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
The difference there is that they are porting a device and I am building from source. There is a huge difference. I have tried using ported kernels they will not work on the device I need build a new kernel. I have compiled a new build with and the graphics are fixed better but I'm working on a fix everything before I release the new build.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 AM ----------

Guys I've been working hard testing different builds and kernels I am working on wifi and bluetooth, and I almost have all the graphics fist. I have compiled many different builds. You have to remember unlike other people I am compiling from source not porting. These builds are made for the flyer. If you want a port I can get that done but it's not going to made for your device and you will run into minor issues. The goal of this port was to be able to build from source and have people kang it whenever they feel like it. This will continue to be the goal.

The project continues to go on. I do work on this every day, but I do also have a life. Except a new test build within this week.

Any donations also help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mhkabir98:
Thanks for clearing the confusion. I thought that the View guys were building from source too ?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wangiles:
I've to say that DG took patience to explain the difference between ports and builds. It is difficult for him but I hope he wont lose hope on this build.

Ultimately, it will be good to have a common build across the developers here. Anyway, will be looking forward to this. :) Keep up the great work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
Graphics and Wifi

Good news. Graphics and Wifi are now fix. I am currently compiling a brand new build and everything should be good to go.

This is not a port like the recent release that is a ripped apart Ice Cream Panni. I have tried that before but the results are still not for every day use.

I plan on getting this new compiled build up soon with the kernel.

As stated before any donations help. And you can count on a build shortly. If I had a video I post it but I don't maybe I can get to making one out later of the current test build.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] zummer22:
Thats GREAT news !

I am really looking forward to try this build. I will donate as soon I try it ;)

This will make me wanna use my Flyer again (Got a TF Prime now)

I thought the plan was that one a valid build for the Flyer worked that work could be done moving to the View with its different radios and whatnot. Was I wrong?

That's perhaps phrased beret than what I said. That once you're got it all working it would be a good stable starting point for view ICS development. I have a spare view, at $200 I figured I've get another as a spare. It could easily be sent to a developer instead ;)

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

A release is coming soon should be by the end of this week. The reason I have not released any other test files yet is because I have been trying to fix issues in each file I have created. But I think I have figured out most problems and should have a release ready by the end of this week. I will also get github repo up so you can compile and also another repo for the patches necessary.

Addressing Recent ICS PORTS:

You have seen the ICS Sense ports, they work okay but they are all basically the same. With the same old stuff and someone else work with ripped out components. I don't really work that way. So if it takes me some time to get you guys the proper ICS then i'm going to do it. But i'll do it right.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] username235:
Awesome, I can't wait to have aokp running on this thing. I'm sure it'll be ported using your hard work. Weird how both the Flyer and the Rezound have gotten a bounty for a specific dev to get the device to get aosp working on them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
Beg to differ, they don't work okay, none of them have a working pen, whats the point in putting a firmware on a premium device that removes the key feature of a device and doesn't add anything of any great significance - nothing.

Sounds like great progress Drew and once you have a good base up I'm sure we'll be overwhelmed by the number of variants people release.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bucklee:

Look forward to your next release

Confused by the need to put down others efforts to provide a taste of ics, even if it is hacked and missing features. I think everyone would be in agreement that a compiled fully functional build is the ultimate goal but in the mean time some of us do enjoy tinkering with the ports.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Friendly competition is good for everyone. I don't think he meant it any other way.

Frankly, I'm pretty surprised how good the ports are coming along.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Here's a reason why ports, even if not fully functional are good for the community. Developers can look at the ports and what works, what's not working and the fixes applied and get a great leg up on "from source development". If a port is 90% working that tells the developer that a full build is practical probably and what's not working tells him which areas need special attention in the way of kernel, driver, libs, etc.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gersto:
I agree. It didn't sound like anything beyond "he doesn't like to port and here's why."
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
my comments were not particularly directed towards DG soley or at all. But lets move forward not worth a debate.

once again I look forward to the next release
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
You're not the only one. I think we'd all rather be trying that out instead of talking about this stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsoplinger:
I got the same impression. That he was explaining why he was doing it the way he was not that he had anything against those doing ports.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
if you address some other platforms you see this for mobiles where the ports are quite successfully ported as hardware is closely related.

what is "old stuff" and "someone else work with ripped out components" , do you mean CM7 / CM9 git? all those releases include ripped out proprietary drivers, are you about to say something you did not intend?

I believe your aosp includes gps/camera/adreno proprietary drivers included you did not compile? (which means parts of your release will be a port of drivers again)

I got a htc device, not for it being premium but because htc dropped it as EOL, which means its a dead device. it was sold for 30% off the retail price in Denmark and so it happened all over europe.

there is nothing premium about recent users getting it for the pen functionality, it was cheap and i did not see the pen as anything special , since i had several 7" devices including AcerA100 briefly.

initially users brought this because of the pen, but lately is because it was very cheap and known to be EOL in USA, so its killing business for htc.

i expect the new quattro device to perform much better with pen functions and that being a current premium device.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
People need to give him space, he needs to work his magic and this takes time, it has taken US as long as this just to get a port working to a similar standard to working for source takes a LONG time and a lot of effort and patience, so please don't ask for ETA just give him time to look at this, if he rushes it out he will not get time to test properly and therefore could be issues.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
My tab is stable and fast on gingerbread, I'm willing to wait a while before it's ready imo. I won't flash it till its near final anyway. I want everything working, ie front camera, bluetooth, wifi, rear camera. Until then I will wait on gingerbread. So no rush really, HTC obviously did rush the honeycomb rom out before it was ready and look how it turned out? So please take your time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
To get everything working properly I am trying many different configurations. I don't want to throw a file out thats just going to be half ass. I have fixed up most things right now and have many different test files. I am working on the release to be ready for this weekend. I was going to have it ready by today but I have other things going on in my life as well. I should have it ready shortly and posted on my site as well as here. I'm testing 2 new files now and then might be created another depending.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Aerogriff:
Hey no rush, I'd rather have a fully functional rom than a rushed half working rom. Do your thing, we can wait :)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
Update

Here is what's going on as of now. I do have a running version which is just a version compiled and ported patched files. However in this version the only thing that seems to not be working in this build is the camera.

Now I also have a fully compiled build that has everything working but still has some minor graphic issues, I am working on getting this kernel figured out properly so I can release. It has has everything working and is great and I want to get this one out so I'm hard at work at it. Just a few minor tweaks to the kernel and testing it I'll get it working properly and release the newest build soon. I will also release the other version as well. Updates to follow shortly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Aerogriff:
Shoot, I'd be game for the rom even without the camera. I never really saw a purpose for a camera on a tablet. But your progress is amazing, thanks a bunch!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] username235:
+1 I never use my tablet camera anyways, I honestly don't care if it doesn't work for now. Amazing work though, drew, thank you for doing this for us.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
I too am not to concerned about the camera. I used it a couple of times only because it was there. For me the most important feature is the pen. But at the same time I would appreciate a fully functioning ROM (because you know how these things work once you don't have a feature - that is when the time arises that you could actually use it :rolleyes:). Either way thanks for all of your efforts, Drew. Once I get this and when I get the opportunity, a donation will be sent.

i actually use my camera.. both back and front multiple times a week.. maybe not everyday. but i do a lot of skype calls. as well as simple point and shoot shots with my tab. don't always have my phone with me but my tablet rarely leaves my side. that said i'm not super concerned about being WITHOUT my cam for a while. but eventually having it working would be a must to make the switch to this rom
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
Update

The one rom that is mixed compiled and ported patched files without the working camera I will post on my site soon.

I figured out the graphics on the fully compiled build, however it is going to take some work because it requires me to decompile framework.jar and work on some files that deal with hardwarerendoring.

Otherwise these builds work and it's coming along well, check the site soon.

have a little faith, I was working on getting different uploads ready. I have two different uploads ready and they are on my server currently and will be posted on my site by tomorrow. These builds for data require 4G flyers, however they do work fine with wifi and bluetooth. Camera still does not work and the pen does not work because it is not enabled in this build.

My aosp build is actually made some progress and I have found a way that may fix the remaining items that need to fix. In the aosp build the pen and camera works. I will be trying to fixing this because this is my main focus.

By working on other builds that are part compiled and ported patched files I have wasted time that could be spent on creating the pure aosp build that was the goal I have set out to accomplish.

Some of you think that this takes very little time to build a aosp build for the flyer, let alone any htc device. Devices that have not been made for ics yet and do not have the proper ics kernel and blobs for ics make it difficult. This was designed to be a sense device thats why it's harder.

I am working all angles to get my fully compiled AOSP build running perfect. I believe the framework.jar will fix the hardware rendering and get us on the right path.

When I start something I finish it and I finish it right. Just be patient and you will see.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Don't mistake our excitement for impatience. We greatly appreciate the effort you are putting into this, and we understand that you're a single man working on multiple projects as opposed to a company with a team of people working on a single project.

I may speak only for myself but, just having a functional ICS build (with or without pen/camera) will be incredibly nice. I do hope we eventually see the best of all worlds.. (Pen/Cameras/all the trim) but, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Edit:

Also I just noticed "RSS" under flyer. As I am new to RSS feeds is it safe to assume if I subscribe to the RSS feed I would be updated when a new flyer build is pushed out?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drewgaren:
Yes if you subscribed to my rss feed you will be informed of new updates on the site and be able to view them from any rss reader.

I will be releasing stuff shortly.

For my aosp compiled build I am going to try a few new tricks that I just thought of that might fix the graphics besides hardware rendering, if not I may do a new compile that might fix it all together. I'm excited about the aosp build. I work practically everyday on it to figure out new solutions to problems still in the build. Mostly everything is fixed so it will be coming soon. Just the graphics need to officially be fixed and were good. Can't wait to bring that to you guys.

Check the site soon for other updates. I will try and get an update tonight or tomorrow I have been super busy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bucklee:
You the man!

Personally, I'm okay without Sense. If you can get pen and camera working on AOSP, I rather have that. I think most would share the same feeling as long as you have a fully working ICS rom for the flyer. If you can get everything working on sense, you the man and HTC should hire you.
