Guys Samsung German has confirmed that Galaxy R will get ICS in august. So please have patience !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
now everybody is calm dear, we are just discussing now about update. When we will shout you will be us. dont worry:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] KonamKz:
Thanks man. Official support or small people from facebook page? In our country sams support fully dorks
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ronakchavan:
Official support i.e Samsung Germany confirmed it yesterday on faccebook. Even the Indian Sammy officials are tightlipped, they are are not even replying to their wall post
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Coz india sammy knows it well if they will announce and will not be at said timing, then indian user of R will kick them in d A**..:p

Drivers for ICS/JB

Do we need fresh drivers for Jelly Bean the same way as for ICS? I mean will ICS drivers from official Samsung ROM(Optimistically assuming we get it sooner) be enough for JB or again it's running through from scratch. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
JB is said to be an incremental update to ICS or what ICS should actually have been. So I don't think we'll need a new set of drivers for JB, one more reason is that Acer Iconia 500 (which has the Tablet variant of Tegra 2) already has a Alpha JB port for it.

But a experienced dev would be in a better position to answer this.

Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
If we get official ics than it will be having stock 3.x kernel with full hw accl. Our devs can modify that kernel according to their need.

Btw ics and jb both needs same kernel so with some mods that kernel will be usable for jb as well.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Zeljko1234:
JB is like SP for ICS and drivers should be the same :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
ICS needs a 3.0.x kernel (officially! of course it can be done with an older one, but it's not so good) and JB is shipped with 3.1.10. We are in a very good situation, because Nvidia released the 3.1.10 Tegra 2 kernel. This works with ICS too.

Android itself uses a Linux kernel with some modifications
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Android modifications are gradually being built into the Linux upstream. I don't know yet which parts are in this release, but I read that the 3.4 kernel has everything included. There is a good chance that this kernel also supports what Android needs.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
I wonder if we can compile it for a working kernel....

Adam , can you compile the kernel ? I'll build ICS then we can mix and match .
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 1337SereniTyx3:
Count me in for all the testing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
It would be awesome if you guys could make it happen. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Actually JB is a huge improvement in terms of smoothness and audio power. Google has done a massive work towards buttery smooth experience (which is yet to be found in ics) in JB. 4.1 is with other words something that ics was supposed and expected to be. You may find gb-roms much smoother than many ics-ones.

I have no idea how it's gonna be with tegra but porting jb on exynos device is really pain in the bottom especially in regard to hwcomposer (responsible for project butter). The old ics-one is simply incompatible with jb. So in worst scenario s2 i9100 users will have to wait for Sammy leak to make "project butter' work. (It's much easier on ti omap4 devices like s2 i9100G)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Wait for ICS then think of JB, kernel 3.xxxx etc etc, what if they cancel update ???

lets wait for it then think abt other after we get ICS :) :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] poison007:
official ics can help build CM9/10 but CM9/10 is not based on official rom

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] poison007:
really？samsung Germany only confirmed ics was available in Aug but no exact date
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Dude he's just speculating it to arrive at the end of this week (first week of August):rolleyes:

I'd be happy even if it arrives at the end of this month.

:banghead: if only I could hack into the servers of Samsung Germany to check whether they are really telling the truth:p;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ofabhishek:
^^

+1

But if August passes without ICS thn stop expecting it forever.....:(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Nup buddy.. i will again send them reminder for the same.. i will not tolerate all this now..:mad:

Edited: mail sent, let them reply now..let you knw after that.

I m Again saying that if R is discontinued then may b October will b the update month, if we willnt get update in august month..:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hdn413:
I'm not that into official ICS now. Hopefully Epsy and his fellows can bring us a wayyyy better ICS/JB build as the drivers are available, though there will be a lot of tough work. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Yes, even m more interested in stable cm ics/jb rom...rather than. But still i hope stock ics rom should come s we have paid for it
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] poison007:
we'll get cm. Hopefully
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Yeah, Aug 1st week means by 7th !! so on that basis i told :)

And yeah, you're right :good:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
:eek:What?:eek: Can somebody confirm this? Has Nvidia released ICS drivers for our device?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Yes nvidea has released d drivers for ventana n harmony board. But they are for linux platform.

Also check post by kataria.vikesh 'i asked nvidea for drivers'
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hicks12:
those linux drivers are for linux... not Android, good luck making that work but im 99% sure it wont :(, all the devs over at the O2x have said its not possible and its silly to think so :P.

Atleast we are all in this together... Samsung Motorola and LG haha!.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hdn413:
Well...Actually don't know much about this. But what Adam777 said may be right.

" Android modifications are gradually being built into the Linux upstream. I don't know yet which parts are in this release, but I read that the 3.4 kernel has everything included. There is a good chance that this kernel also supports what Android needs."

If so, i think the chances are good that kernel will be available but it needs a lot of hard work.:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] khpatel4991:
I am interested to know whether after ICS update for our SGR will 1080p mkv or any other codec which is currently not working, videos run smoothly in hw decoding??? Coz right now not even 1.9beta ardatdat kernel which plays 720p mkv smoothly without OC is not able to play 1080p at 1320 mhz with performance governor set in set cpu!!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] emanoj.i9103:
It is a tegra2 limitation. It plays only certain video profiles at 1080p.

Sent from my GT-I9103
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
clock speed have no relation with video codec, tegra2 lacks NEON instructions and thats y video support is limited.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hicks12:
Should have added that if it is somehow possible i wish the best of luck to the dev who decides to work on it :P.

however it would be a massive task... things like the HTC One X with tegra 3 use kernel version 2.6.x something so we shall see :).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] parajsinghal:
I don't follow why would Nvidia release drivers of mobile chips like tegra 2 for Linux platform only. Are they so stupid or am i missing something. Do they expect us to run Ubuntu???

Also can anyone help me understand what we mean by linux platform?? If someone said its not for Arm but x86 or amd64 I understand. But what is Linux platform.???

ICS Sweden

August 5th. Is ICS Release available for galaxy R sweden?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Just checked in SamMobile update is not available :(, may be it will be available soon ...:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Zeljko1234:
Atrix has Ubuntu installation already ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
I did some tests with JB (actually CM10) yesterday. I fixed some bugs and now there aren't any Java- or framework-related errors in logcat. However, the screen is green due to bad gralloc (Nvidia only released the Linux drivers) and touchscreen is not responsive. This is because input handling has been changed in Android 4.0 so we have to rewrite the Atmel driver (in the kernel) to work with the new system.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] G@sh!sh:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
There is not much difference between ICS and JB kernels. As soon as the 3.0.x gets released, JB versions will roll out soon. But porting the board-specific code from a 2.6 kernel is simply unimaginable, unless you know low-level coding and have quite a good documentation about the architecture, which Tegra 2 unfortunately doesn't have published.

I was just seeing the samsung mobile india fb page and looks like they are not replying to any update queries at all, not for many other handsets too.

just search for post on samsung Swedish, posted by 'vipul Mehta'.

They haven't given the date, but are very kind in terms of replying..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ZeXzr:
Friends, I dont want to discourage you, but it was said that the sgr ics coming first aug

week means nothing, and now say mid to end aug, you know that the Samsung is late to everything, it's better to rely on our great dev but the samsung, and if we get ics official from Samsung whenever it will be super :) So relax and enjoy life, ics will get sooner or later :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
If people r ready to accept that there wont be official ics, then they should also accept that bringing ics to our device is also very difficult. We don't have source code for drivers, we don't have a 3.x kernel. Official ics should make this all much easier.

Also samsung germany sounds promising :D:D:D

ICS = I SEE ASS :P Lol

++##» GALAXY R «##++
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ZeXzr:
I do not want to accept that we will not get an official ics, but i accept that ics will not be there just when it's said. Also every day we come to the various developments as regards our great dev, so it is a time when they will be able to fix all that is needed for ics.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hdn413:
It seems that the Tegra 2 problem is also faced by Samsung devs... Or once it's finished, they have no excuse to delay the ICS update again and again. I hope Samsung wouldn't just cancel the update at the end.:(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Bhavik Jain:
well we do have drivers for linux 3.x kernel
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] karthik050782:
Our waiting will celebrate first anniversary... @bhavik: Even we have the drivers, it seems very difficult to convert to our phone as the drivers are compatible with linux.. But our great developers like epsy, adam, aradatdat, adipat.. will give some happiness for us.. support them :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
That's the problem when drivers aren't released as Open Source. Its impossible for developers to modify for use with android because we have no sources to compile or change :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Exactly. We have to rely on hacks and workarounds.

Anyway, I was in the kernel almost the whole afternoon. I ported the Atmel driver to work with the new Linux input handling subsystem. Now I can proudly say that I have a usable CM10 build. :cool: The screen is still green, but at least usable now with the touchscreen (even with multitouch :p). :laugh:

I attach some pictures. In the first 3, you can see the pointer. I made those pics in the afternoon and the port was still under construction then. :D The last pic represents the fixed multitouch capabilities which I'm still working on.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FranzJesus:
Wow, really cool! Nice work!

Lets hope Samsung releases those ICS drivers soon!

https://github.com/wkpark/tegra-linux-3.0.y

Good job buddy :thumbup:... All the best...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] UnknownzD:
Adam, if you are still working on the kernel, wait for the ICS kernel src for Galaxy tab 10.1 to be released and have a look there. I am pretty sure if the driver is included there, you may find what you want there. I have been waiting for about 3 days to see if the Galaxy tab 10.1 source code is released but yet no result. May be someone (or me?) should send a email to Samsung and request for the ICS kernel source (according to the GPL for Linux kernel src code).

Also since my device is bugged now (it seems like it is having some kinds of emmc problem and I guess the frequent testing and kernel flashing in late May to early June has bricked the emmc partition tbh), would you mind to give me your ICS kernel src code (or may be even the build) so that I could have a look on the problem before I return the phone to Samsung for repair service?

Well, I don't even know if its a patch for your particular problem, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

There seems to be a lot of changes to networking stuff too baked in this commit, but the magic seems to be the new overlay.c file.

files to focus on this commit should be:

drivers/video/tegra/dc/overlay.c - changes

include/linux/overlay.c - new file

include/linux/tegra_overlay.h - changes
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
Ahh , adding and changing the overlay.....

"Friends forever." - Ventus
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
I know this source, but don't think it would be a good starting point. It is meant to work on LG devices, that's the reason why it's using LG-based code which isn't compatible with Sam's one. I prefer first a 2.6-based kernel forward-ported with the necessary drivers.

Starting from an other kernel is not really good in my opinion. (I'm not so experienced in kernel development to port device-specific code to a whole new version and 3.x.x.x has low-level changes compared to 2.6.x.x)

I started working on CM in May and doing it now too, I don't think your device has problems because of the flashing. SSC will repair it for sure. I didn't change anything much in the kernel, only the touchscreen driver a little and now I'm experimenting with the overlay.

We need Android drivers. Especially those that can be found in the /system/lib/hw folder.

This is the relevant stuff of course. However, I really doubt the usefulness of adding 'include/linux/overlay.c'. :D
