Hello,

I would like to know if the HTC One X's screen responsiveness is as good as iPhone or Galaxy S III.

Galaxy S III responsiveness is better than Galaxy S II since the S III has Gorilla Glass 2.0 which makes the screen thicker.

HTC One X has Gorilla Glass 1.0. But maybe they improved something else?
[HTC One X] random_username_:
Not on par with iPhone, better than an s2 not sure about s3 (haven't used one yet).
[HTC One X] Pudex:
Couldn't imagine it more responsive it's the best I've used so far
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Gorilla Glass 2 is tougher, it can be made thinner for the same strength.

HTC One X has GG2.

I have no problems with sensitivity of the screen, but I cannot compare to those devices since I haven't used them.
[HTC One X] dimanchec3:
Thanks everyone for your response.
[HTC One X] GWS2012:
very responsive, haven't had any hint of a laggy response other than when phone is charging.

If someone like to want try out basic running JellyBeans on his archos g9 device you can use my build.

Many things like camera, or accelerated video decoding/encoding doesn't work, also the sdcard access is not working (using vold binary from stock rom was not successful)!

(= Not for endusers, but for devs who are interested ;) )

Working is:

* Wifi

* Audio

* GPS

* Graphics ( :) )

Many thanks to JackpotClavin for your porting guide on CM9

(which was very helpful to start understanding how customized building works),

trevd for setup a CM10 repo which I used to start from and for developing 3G support on 4.0.4 and 4.1.1,

omegaRED7 for his support on 3G,

and last but not least: surdu_petru for his excellent work on modding and developing cool images for the archos device!!!

If you want to start hacking on this, use the following interesting repos as start:

Trevd's developer repo for the 3G stick:

https://github.com/trevd/huaweigeneric-ril

My CM10 config files:

https://github.com/Quallenauge/cm10-archos-g9

A note for the kernel:

Customized kernel is needed, because it provides the IPV6 mangle support, which is needed by netd service.

For me, the video acceleration is the most important thing, but due closed drivers and only a little understanding of the topic, I feel that I'm not able to solve this problem.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

Very cool ! You started a great job....I hope that with our dear developers you will be able to successfully finish !

THANKS ! & Good luck !!! :good:
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Hi.

I was about to start looking into the sdcard issue..... Then my sdcard slot decided to fail, I think the spring has gone, I'll "Jaff" it in with some Rilza Card later on. ;) I'll take heart that at least my device is failing one component at a time and not all at once.. :laugh:

With regards hardware, have you had a look around at the open source stuff at OmapMedia.org, I'm just cloning their android repo now and also linaro have done a lot of work in open sourcing and optimizing some of the TI Omap stuff..... They're next on my repo sync :)

I also think Scholberts' hardware thread may help as a good reference.

There's other stuff, lots of other stuff but I think having a go at the hardware seems lib a good starter for ten.

:D

Hack On!
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
With some luck, we can use the following:

http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=platform/hardware/ti/omap4xxx.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/p-ics-mr1-release

Maybe we must patch the archos kernel for that....
[Gen9 Android Development] Mavamaarten:
Awesome work! Instead of everyone working on his own rom (we have AOKP, CM9, Ubuntu, ...) everyone should team up and make a good Jelly Bean rom.

Just out of curiosity, how is this rom's performance?
[Gen9 Android Development] ::Blocks:::
Cool thing! Can you post some photos pls?! :)

Thanks!!
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
I've been trying to get this to boot today, I'm using the multiboot initramfs and your zImage, but I'm stuck at a black screen. Should I be using the latest stock one?

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Stock 4.0.7 initramfs is stuck at ARCHOS splash screen, not looping (as in there being no ext4 file) but just stuck
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
have you the initramfs.cpio.lzo ?
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Don't worry, it works now. A combination of bad files and silly mistakes were the issue
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
i use the initramfs.cpio.lzo of surdru

when i lauch the SDE, i view the CM9 animation

How long does the animation the first time ?

I use the official SDE not the multiboot
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Sounds to me like you forgot to wipe. Get adb open and run these commands:

adb shell rm -r -f /data/*

adb push archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

If you have an .aos image installed alongside it:

Wait for $ to reappear (or the path if you're using Windoze) and then power off the device by holding power for 10 seconds

Boot into recovery and select Developer Edition

If you don't:

adb reboot

Then it will boot, or at least it did for me
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Screenshots from me:

Nova Launcher as homescreen (stock one is c**p)

Proof of version:

WiFi works :D

Videos are working with VPlayer using its armv7 software codecs: (here playing Big Buck Bunny streaming as an mp4 file)

Music playing using Google Play Music and their streaming service (wrong album art though :P)

Showing the Jelly bean notification expansions with Google Play Music's latest version:

What is good and working for me:

WiFi

Bluetooth

GPS

Music

Video via VPlayer

It's surprisingly fast, and I have possibly caused that, by setting Force GPU rendering on, disable HW overlays on and making the CPU governor to "performance", and it's smooth (butter is working?)

What's bad/annoying

Camera isn't working. Not much of an issue, but face unlock would be nice to have

External SD isn't working - causes issues with media FC and apps failing to install from Play Store (error with SD or USB storage)

Talk force closes due to camera issues

Other than that, all is good. I'll probably make a video tour from the device and possibly an installation video if people are interested.

It's pretty fast, more smooth than CM9 IMO
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Nice work Quinny, I'll take note of the app as well, I couldn't find a suitable one when I wanted to do a video on the G9. I was tempted to compile ffmpeg myself, left it in the end.

I think I'll have a look at the SDCard and see what's up with the camera, It maybe simple as missing the camera library, probably not tho. :laugh:

With the sdcard, the framework res storage_list.xml may need looking into and the init.rc, goggle jigged some of the directories around on JB like moving internal sdcard primary location is supposed to be at /storage/sdcard0 on standard JB Roms. Obviously archos have been using the /storage directory on ICS to reference the internal storage for the devices,

We're still in reality using the ICS init.rc to boot the device with a couple of additions because of the archos "one size fits all" approach to the g9 series were they have modified the /init binary to fire off the scripts in /etc/init/ amongst other things.

Looks like I've just given myself a list of Jobs then LOL
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
The error with the camera is the HAL failing to load, reporting "Failed to get Camera info"
[Gen9 Android Development] Quallenauge:
That's why I'm trying to get a new kernel version running, to be able to use a new firmware (ducati-m3.bin) for the board.

So then we can use the libOMX drivers which are provided at omapzoom site which are used by the camera and hardware video acceleration logic .Thats my assumption. Maybe I'm wrong...
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Hi, I've been doing a bit of hacking and managed to get it to the point where Android reports that it cannot connect to the camera hardware which feels further along but then I just ended up going round in circles ( again ) because I've been doing the lazy approach of prodding it with a stick to provoke a reaction ( cherry picking files ) rather that debugging and delving into the code.... :laugh:

I did watch this presentation on the camera stack.... It's not great because they're framing it on a Video4Linux context, TI OMAP uses the OpenMax Framework, this is open source apparently so we should be able to get the sources from somewhere.... it requires more investigation and may well be worth waiting for your new kernel, no pressure :silly:

I moved onto the sdcard as I managed to fix my slot, I've got it automounting and got the internal storage recognized in the system storage page, so I'm should have it boxed off today. :good: I was going to jig to directory structure around to be more JB standard ( i.e using /storage/sdcard0 etc ) but I think that can wait for a bit.

As usual, doing too much Android and not enough sleeping, but what ya going do when "da robots gotta hold of me"

[EDIT] Just having a look at some of the commits on the omapzoom site and it looks like they're are adding V4L support....Interesting!
[Gen9 Android Development] nicktastique:
Quallenauge,

The build is failing for me when ICS_AUDIO_BLOB is defined. Did you have to make any changes to libhardware sources?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

I've cleaned up the jellybean device tree a bit:

device/archos/archos_g9

vendor/archos/archos_g9

...in the branch jellybean-cm. These are forks of Quallenauge's tree.

It should build out of the box, excepting problems with upstream sources. In particular, there are minor but easily fixed problems with a few telephony unit tests, and libhardware fails for me when -DICS_AUDIO_BLOB is used.
[Gen9 Android Development] nashi20002003:
Quinny899,

Can you give steps by steps install. I'm a little confused. Or best video guide if you have time. At least steps by steps will help. Thank you! Nice job. Thanks a lot OP and you all. One more thing: for us with hdd, anything we need to do differently here?
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
This is the install method:

GUIDE IS OUTDATED - USE THE ONE HERE INSTEAD:

EDIT 2: UN-STRIKED DUE TO ME MOVING MY BLOG

http://quinny898.webuda.com/blog/CM10_Archos_G9_Guide.html

1. Make sure you have a rooted ROM.

2. Backup all the apps and data on the internal memory onto a PC. (Remember that sdcards don't work in this ROM yet)

3. Download archos.ext4.update and the zImage from the first post. Also download the 4.0.7 kernel zip and extract the initramfs file from it.

4. Power off your device and boot into archos recovery. Select Developer Edition menu > flash kernel and initamfs

5. Plug your device into the PC and a drive will appear. Copy the zImage from the first post and the initramfs from the extracted 4.0.7 kernel zip to the drive and EJECT THE DRIVE, but do not remove the USB connection

6. Press the power button on your device and let it reboot.

7. Open a command prompt/terminal on your PC with your device still connected

8. When your device gets to the boot animation, quickly run

adb shell stop

In the command prompt

(Device will stop the boot animation)

9. Run these commands:

adb shell rm -r -f /data/*
adb push archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4
adb reboot

The device should now boot CM10

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a nightly update to flash
[Gen9 Android Development] DragosP2010:
Does this build works also in hdd version?

Assume the Mounting Position

Now Then,

EDIT: External Storage works using an OTG Cable on the micro usb socket

For your viewing pleasure this evening I present working sdcard mounting ( not external storage yet ). Have it :) It turned out to be not even a code change.For all of the archo's quirks their changes to the vold subsystem only add confusion and complexity rather than anything useful, like , hmm I don't know, Functionality Maybe would be a good one LOL :rolleyes: In their defense I don't think we're their intended audience.

Anyways. I'll explain the change in detail below in a bit, but for those who put the xda in xda-developers, Here's what you need to do, edit the /system/etc/vold.fstab to look like this

dev_mount volume_internal /mnt/storage auto /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0 /class/block/mmcblk0
dev_mount volume_sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
dev_mount volume_external /mnt/ext_storage auto /devices/platform/omap/musb-omap2430/musb-hdrc/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ /devices/platform/omap/usbhs_omap/ehci-omap.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/

That is all! That should give you a cool pick like the one below, obviously not with 500MB Internal Storage , but that another story.

I also deleted all the other vold.<model>.fstab and also the fstab_nor, fstab_nand and fstab. These are not required on the sdcard models, not a clue if they are important to the HD Model.
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Awesome! Trying it now and will add it to my guide tomorrow
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Can confirm SD fix is working. I've looked at camera and there's one lib it fails to load, and it seems to be a kernel issue

New issue here?:

Is it location or Google Now?

From some research it's location. There are two errors in the log linked to it:

Sidekick location from Oracle is the thing that's reporting

No network provider on device

Best location was null
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:

[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:

[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Hi Quinny

I got these

W/ActivityManager( 703): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.location.internal.GMM_NLP (has extras) }: not found
W/Sidekick_LocationOracleImpl( 3671): No network provider on device
W/Sidekick_GmmLocationProviderImpl( 3671): Unable to bind to GMM NLP

Might be worth double checking all the Gapps stuff is there. We're Obviously not using Jelly Beans Standard Init.rc scripts so we could well be missing something there. I does work on CM10 on my sensation so it does work on cm10 as standard

Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
It works on CM10 on my Galaxy Nexus too, is it to do with the device thinking it should have network and doesn't? On CM9 the signal bar wasn't there, but in CM10 it is, but it's empty
[Gen9 Android Development] trevd:
Nah mate, I don't think so, That there because it has mobile networks setup in the framework-res.

I have the same "hack" setup on a wifi motorola xoom to enable the Huawei Modems and have done the same with the N7.

Just checked the xoom and it works, that on official JB Stock.

Is the google seach app part of AOSP, I don't think it is, is it? I'm leaning towards that we are probably missing some base service around locations. The location services framework is not something I know too much about, Got a feeling I'm going to In the next week tho.... :laugh:

After a quick search of the net for "Unable to bind to GMM NLP" , At first glance it ( whatever it is ) looks like it's been fixed upstream, It might be worth doing a rebuilding with the latest source before getting deep into it
[Gen9 Android Development] Quinny899:
Fixed it. Downloaded latest gapps and copied all the apps from it to /system/app and rebooted (actually I didn't need to reboot, my tablet crashed and did that for me :P)

Works fine now :cool:

hi Quellenauge, at first, thanks for this great work and sorry for my english,

i've installed this rom, but the HDD will not be recogized, have you a solution, thanks for answer, Rmaier14(Austria)
[Gen9 Android Development] nashi20002003:
Quinny899,

Thanks for the install guide and files needed. i installed this on my HDD 80 G9. Great work to you all .....This is good news for our gen 9.

Specially since Archos won't make any more HDD, at least we can get Jelly Bean here working on HDD it will give it some life.....

Same issue on as the previous post: HDD is not recongnized wich I knew would be a problem until the fix you guys found is implemented. How do implement that fix?

Bear in mind ours is HDD. I did not yet the update for the SD fix. ADB is not working for me either after install. Also the usual settings>storage error we had in CM9 is present here also.

Thanks. If only we can get the HDD to work it will be great...the camera is not very important as the storage space. Great job to all....really appreciate the time and effort.

Nick...I think you came up with Settings> Storage fix in CM9...thanks for incorporating that in CM10

Great...I applied the fixes and now I have some type of storage showing up...Not the full HDD. Only 504 MB of total space for internal storage. No SD card which usually shows my Hard Drive. Step forward. I'm sure the Hdd is not showing due to the differences between hdd and SD versions.

Hope to see our gurus who in the past help us with the Hdd specfics stuffs chime in here: Nickstatique, Schoebert, Surdu, gen_scheisskopf...and many others...
