[LG Optimus 4X HD] kholk:
I'm sorry if I gave that impression, I'm not eccentric at all. Just...understand my words and why I do talk that way sometimes.

About disappearing, unfortunately, I'm an university student too.. and you might know how much time that takes. I also live alone and that's another time-killer.

Not needed, I've got what I need now :°)

Thanks :D

I passed through this while I was on Motorola. Remember that OEMs are always vague because they don't want you to complain about them "not being sincere" or lying.

Until you see an official communication on their website (and not via email/chat/anything else), almost anything can happen.

/* ---- Status update ---- */

Thanks to the guys who gave me the libraries. Those have helped to understand that I need to develop a RIL "interpreter" and that I can't use Android's standard one.

Just as a side note, that thing will be needed when the BL will be unlocked, too, since LG have (badly) customized their crappy RIL library.

I usually get angry when I see badly engineered components and bad code... and this is _that_ time when I would like to see an OEM to literally implode after suffering under torture for days.

That apart....

...on Twitter I have been really synthetic.

Since I need to take 5 minutes of pause, I'm writing what happened in those two days:

Premitting that I've studied only the --bootloader security--, when I flashed CM10.1-EPRJ for the first time I've seen that they're using a really, really bad system protection, too.

That thing can be easily circumvented, as Dexter_nlb showed me (and he saved me a day or two of tampering!), and it has been circumvented "multiple times" on the various custom ROMs that you can find in the Development section.

By the way, I've had a talk with Dexter_nlb and we've had the occasion to make some team work and speed up the development of a little bit.

Coming now to the actual development status...

...CM10.1-EPRJ boots (as you've seen on the really early screenshot).

I've had the occasion to test (and fix) various parts of the phone and as of now, all the sensors (including accelerometer, gyro, proximity and light) are working just..perfectly.

WiFi is working too, I've enjoyed some navigation using the normal Android browser app, and I haven't had any problem.

Bluetooth isn't still working fully: Discovery works, pairing sometimes does, sometimes not... but that should be an easy fix.

Sound works... and 2D/3D HW acceleration works too.

HW codecs should work (didn't really test) and thanks to this playing 1080p videos will be smooth and won't make your phone to overheat.

From what I've understood there was a paths problem for the internal/external storage on other custom ROMs, and that problem doesn't exist on CM10.1-EPRJ.

The really remaining problem is about RIL.

RIL is the Radio Interface Layer, aka, the component that makes our Intel XMM6260 BP (If You Don't Know What Am I Talking About, read that as "phone") to communicate with the AP OS (IUDNWAITA, read that as "Android").

Btw, as said some lines ago, LG are f&#$*n b&£$%°*s other than pigs, so, when an unneeded (known) component of their crappy proprietary RIL library receives a "bad reply" or doesn't receive a reply at all, it will CRASH the RIL Daemon and boot the BP in Recovery Mode (IUDNWAITA, eh, can't tell that in an easier way) -- that implies that the BP stops working "forever" (until reboot).

That rild crash, however, happens only when you make/receive a call. Other parts of the telephony layer are working just .. "okay".

As I don't want to distribute something not fully working (and rild is something really important too) I won't obviously upload any CM10.1-EPRJ release prior solving that problem.

Anyway, that problem needs me to code a RIL "interpreter", so that LG's RIL library will feel happy and won't crash the ril daemon.

That will take from 30 years to 30 minutes (no, really, surely not 30 years :P) depending from my luck :P

Jokes apart, that's practically the only problem that stops us right now and as soon as I'll finish to code that component, it'll take me 5 to 10 minutes to solve the intermittent BT problem (I already know what to do for solving it and it's a joke).... so...

...since I know that I'll receive 300 "When will you release blahblah?" per day, well, I'll reply to this question right now.

Q: When will you release CM10.1-EPRJ?

A: When it's ready.

Then... my pause got to an end... and I'll continue to work on the O4X now.

Have a good time!
