Here's a link to the kangaroo kernel thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2329381

It's a kernel for ROMs that use HTC Sense, so I don't know if it would work for AOSP-based ROMs like CyanogenMod.

Brymaster, I remember when you first started learning how to make custom kernels for Android. Where did you go to learn how to do that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
Although I did pull poondogs source it was for sense based kernels . I tried using his aosp source and there are errors .

It shouldn't be too hard to do , I was at the end of my dev days for the inc2 when I ported kangaroo .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
I realize it's a sense based kernel...but the concept might be the same for aosp. I don't delve into aosp too often...so it was more of a suggestion.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748297 that's the kernel guide I used to get started. There are also a ton of helpful posts inside the thread. Good luck dude!

I say Y'all should give it time n be shocked what the great Chillybean has in store for Y'all. N pardon my French I've been drinking a lot tonight. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] alochmst98:
Sure, I suppose it's possible that he could eventually return, but it's been almost a month since his last XDA post (February 18) and well over 2 months since he last uploaded something for the Incredible 2 to his Dev-host account (December 26). He's very busy with real life, he got a much newer and more interesting phone, his Incredible 2 broke, and he hasn't responded to our offers to give him a replacement Incredible 2 and Otterbox Defender. His most recent uploads were all for his new phone, the HTC One.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I don't mean to criticize him in the slightest. I understand why he's been gone, and I very much appreciate all the work he's done to extend the useful life of this old forgotten phone.

It's just that this whole Incredible 2 section has been a ghost town for a while now. After making several tweaks to my phone recently, my phone went from something I hated to something I actually enjoyed - and that's with Android 4.2.2. KitKat uses system resources such as RAM much more efficiently. That would be extremely helpful on the Incredible 2, but we don't yet have a KitKat ROM that's both stable and fully functional for use as a daily driver. If we had that, I think I could use this phone for another year.

I'm currently trying to do what polymath did: compiling CyanogenMod 11 using Chilly's instructions. I've never compiled a ROM before, so this is primarily for the learning experience but I will be using a newer prerelease (milestone 4). Then, I'll try another build of it with three minor modifications - again for the learning experience. I may or may not take it further after that. The real priority for me right now is getting A+ certified and then getting a job.

i know hes busy, n the things he has done and will continue to do for the aging dinc2 are truly awesome n saved that phone from going through a wall many times. maybe hes working on a perfect rom drop? maybe he wants fully functional and issue free? maybe mrs. bean is saying chilly u no drop roms until. or maybe hes working om dropping 10 of em on y'all so everyone is flabergasted like i was on the amount ge puts out.... hes active though. n he does have a life n 2 mini beans to care for. he'll be around soon enough to drop something i have a fealing:good::angel:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] polymath257:
I usually remove the whole gps-legacy directory by going to hardware/qcom and running

rm -rf gps-legacy

That gives a build that works. For the recovery, I also change a couple of lines in

kernel/htc/msm7x30-3.0/arch/arm/configs/evervolv_vivow_defconfig

# CONFIG_SECURITY is not set
# CONFIG_SECURITYFS is not set

# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set
# CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY is not set

# CONFIG_AUDIT is not set

changes to

CONFIG_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_SECURITYFS=y

CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

CONFIG_AUDIT=y

The posts I've read in this thread are the first post, and then posts 124 through 141, the posts where polymath comes in, gets help from chilly et al, and ultimately posts the solution he found to his build/recovery problems.

I separated lines that are not together in the file.

Yes. This is why I delete the gps-legacy directory entirely. I'm not sure it is what the great Chilly would want, but it was what I managed to get to work.

Thanks for the suggestions about the incredible S. I am a bit busy with real life, so I won't be able to do much deep exploration for a bit, but come the end of the semester, I will be able to do more. I will follow what you do also and will happily play with any code you want me to test out.

You might also check out some of Evervolv's material on github. There seems to be progress on the msm7x30 kernel. When I get some time, I plan to play with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] alochmst98:
I had to put my compiling efforts on hold for now because of constant pain from a tooth filling I got on Monday.

Glad to see I was wrong about Chilly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] alochmst98:
My tooth pain is gone, so I've resumed compiling and had my first successful build last night. I'm currently trying to build a better one using more source code from more up to date repos when available.

If you want to learn more about building CyanogenMod, take a look at the Developer section of their wiki. It's very informative and so far seems pretty easy to understand.

In order to compile CM11 on a 64-bit OS, you'll need to install the right 32-bit libraries. In Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other Debian-based distributions, the name of the package you need is lib32stdc++6. So, the command to install it is:

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

For Linux distributions that aren't based on Debian, you should be able to find out the package name by doing a Google search for: libstdc++ 32-bit name_of_distribution.

To properly fix the duplicate GPS error, add the following line to your local manifest:

<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_gps" />

Be sure to put it before the project line for gps-legacy.

[Sony Smartwatch] andrewt328:
so the liveview is $25 on amazon, the second gen sony smartwatch is $94, and the pebble is $150. I have preordered the pebble, but have yet to pay. I wanted to ask if the liveview is worth it in comparison, for the price being so cheap..i may just buy it to try it out since its so cheap. i have an htc one s with android 4.2, also does liveview have push notifications?.... any suggestions..thanks
[Sony Smartwatch] EP2008:
When a Google search brings up the suggestion "Sony Liveview don't bother", you know you'll be wasting your money.

Those Amazon reviews paint a very negative picture.

See what kind of reviews the Pebble gets and decide from there. You'll likely get what you pay for.
[Sony Smartwatch] willfck4beer:
got to respectfully disagree. For 20$ this thing is awesome.

I'd sort the reviews by date.

Also, consider the technical sophistication of your average user.

If you are posting on xda - you are the top 1% generally.

This thing is awesome.

There's a new firmware and client software out from sony that obviates pretty much all of the old problems.

AND there's an Open Live View reverse engineering effort that is 90% functional already!

This thing is badass!

imho.
[Sony Smartwatch] andrewt328:
yea i ended up getting it for $27 off amazon with expedient shipping. so i should get it soon and im hoping it works well with my htc one s...and for that cheap why not...much better than spending $150 on a pebble that ill get in like 6 months
[Sony Smartwatch] andrewt328:
i got my liveview, and id say its worth the money...it does what it says it does, though it sometimes disconnects...im glad i bought this and didnt spend 150 on a pebble, since its kinda of a gimmick... i mean its basically a pager on your wrist, but 27$ for it, i cant complain
[Sony Smartwatch] nagi603:
For $20-30, it is a steal. Unfortunately they don't ship to my country, otherwiser I would have ordered an extra one as well. :)

I saw the Pebble, and frankly, I miss a two quite important functions from it that the liveview has: volume up and down as a music remote. Yeah, most likely someone will figure out how to add them to the 3-button-only interface (long press track skip would be ok) but till then, I'll go with my Liveview. Even if the connection is still not rock solid. Yeah, it is much, MUCH better than it was, but still not 100% if you are skipping music tracks left and right.

Another thing to watch out for: the frames are extremely fragile. Yes, even the metal clip-on frame. My wristwatch frame has a holding clip broken off (so it is useless as the LV falls out of it quite easily) and the clip-on is broken at the microUSB connector part. I actually had to attach the LV with a piece of masking tape to the frame so it won't fall out. I'm thinking of supergluing it there.
[Sony Smartwatch] auda:
i found sony liveview a good smart watch but this is depending of what you demand from it

i found that it offers me the basic functionalities with cheap (really cheap) price

may be you found it a little bit dull (its look is not that great for some people), but who cares :D
[Sony Smartwatch] micrors4:
It all depends on what you want to do with it, for me I wanted to use it as a cycling computer that worked with my phone using the my tracks app which worked perfectly so I love it for that and it only cost me $25. If you buy it just for the hell of it and don'd really know what is available for it then you might hate it, also I haven't encountered any issues with it disconnecting with my phone as others have had but it can be difficult to set up at first.

I just got my liveview so far so good I bought one when it first cam out switch to an HTC amaze and it didn't work at all so I got rid of it, switched to a samsung note 2 and since I rarely had a problem with my old nexus s and t959 I figured it was worth getting it over the pebble I synced it about 2 hours ago and no disconnects and everything seems to be working fine

[Sony Smartwatch] Scoop003:
Mine frequently disconnects, and I also had issues with the clip not holding, so I was a little disappointed. That being said, I only paid $22 for it, so I can't be too upset. I only need it to be able to discreetly check text messages at work, so it serves its purpose.
[Sony Smartwatch] FC1032:
Hello,

I was in a position like you at one point here's my take on it:

I considered the Liveview when it came out, but the reviews were horrible. Personally felt it looked a bit cheap for a wach... I saw the price drop, but since I can't get the US deals, I gave up on that one.

I then saw the pebble, but missed the kickstart. Noticing that the shipping date was so far away (and the price of $150 seemed too high), I looked elsewhere.

I found a nice balance with the Sony Smartwatch. It's cheaper than the pebble, and the general reviews are better than the previous liveview. I also like how they bundle the 20mm watch strap adapter so you can make it look better with other straps. This is what I ended up getting and I'm quite happy since all I really need was for my notifications to show up on my watch (free app for that!). Cost me about $100 AUD, but I've seen it cheaper in US sites.
[Sony Smartwatch] pinkgabe:
just purchased one last night and i should be getting it on saturday. will post my thoughts on it. not expecting too much for $22 but im still excited!
[Sony Smartwatch] WishRyder:
I kickstarted the Pebble. I had another Android smartwatch on preorder until I realized the Pebble is the only waterproof one. I dreaded the thought of washing my hands wrong, or getting caught in the rain and ruining my $300 watch. The $115 Pebble seemed like a no brainer, all things considered.

With that said, the Pebble SDK still isn't public yet, so there's currently a severe lack of functionality. The Pebble has piqued my interest in smarter watches though, so I've been keeping my eyes peeled for better alternatives.

I think the year of the smartwatch is coming soon. Especially if the rumors of an Apple iWatch are true.
[Sony Smartwatch] zugif:
Have mine for a half year now. I use it almost every day. It's pretty useful if you are listening to music via your phone in car and want to skip a song etc. . Also the Camera Watch function is pretty funny :D
[Sony Smartwatch] GottZ:
i can only speak about the liveview since i have not bought a smartwatch yet.

as you can see within this thread and on openliveview.com, custom firmware developement and a liveware manager replacement is in developement.

the custom liveware manager replacement you can find here, has all the functionality the liveware manager has, except plugin support (wich is currently in developement)

besides, it has a notification implementation that is pretty similar to how custommessagenotifier works.

the firmware is yet not for daily usage since it does not put the watch into deepsleep yet and has no bluetooth support yet.

a big minus would be that you need to kindoff break your wristband holder to charge the liveview.

overall i'd say, the liveview is currently extremely customizable since the custom manager and the custom firmware are opensource.

to the smartwatch:

it has bluetooth 4 instead of 1.1 (liveview) wich makes the bluetooth battery drain pretty small and it could theoretically even be ported to iphone.

the screen is the same except it has multi touch instead of 4 tap keys.

it has more internal storage than the liveview so a custom firmware would be more awesome on it.

overall i'd say, its better than the liveview but unless we devs get our hands onto it, there will mostly not be a custom manager / rom soon, so you will need to stick to connection issues and sony's creepy try to write software.
[Sony Smartwatch] CSimeon:
It seems a good idea this new project.

I got mine for $15. I can't even find a cheap wristwatch at walmart for that much. The Liveview is a watch, but has some added functions which are pretty cool. Worth every penny of my $15.
[Sony Smartwatch] gummie:
Been planning on buying this for my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running on Jellybean 4.2.2 just wanted to ask if anyone can tell me if this watch is compatible on my device and android version. Just recently got ahold of bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-503) can this watch has capability to override handsfree and music controls of bluetooth headsets.

Now that I think of it, can I pair to devices on a phone at once? Asking because here in my country this costs 30$.
[Sony Smartwatch] iks8:
Live View is cheap but it's really low quality :(. It is great as toy but not the best as watch :D. Sony ericsson's engineers have some really bad ideas like that you must pull it from mounting every time you want to plug it to charger. Mounting is really bad quality and I have to glued it one time. For now it works. Issues with connection are only on not se/sony roms. For example: when I'm using it with stock cm7 on my x8 sometimes it disconnect but on stock 2.1 or semc debrand engine rom it never disconnect.
[Sony Smartwatch] Erdiou:
For people with problems, you have install the two updates (january and mid june) for the liveview? since the updates my liveview has no connections problems anymore.
[Sony Smartwatch] csmiler:
Can you turn the LiveView's bluetooth off? Thinking of getting one, but don't need it connected all the time.

I read that it doesn't show the time if it isn't paired, but it was an old review. Has this been fixed?

Would appreciate a reply, there's an offer that ends in a few days :good:

Anyone with a Note 2 using a LiveView? :D
[Sony Smartwatch] FC1032:
You'd need to sync it once at least, then disconnect it. Not very elegant, but more or less works
[Sony Smartwatch] csmiler:
Thanks!

Btw, does the bluetooth turn off after disconnecting? or does it stay on until you pair again?
[Sony Smartwatch] FC1032:
Ummm as far as I know there's no way to turn of Bluetooth on the watch (so it stays on till you pair it again).

All Bluetooth connection is handled by the phone. You can only turn the watch on or off.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nexus Avro:
Last I read, they still hadn't fixed anything. Mine has been sitting in a drawer for months. I went to an ipod nano with a watch strap and then moved to a Motoactv about a month ago. If you have 25 bucks to spend on 30 minutes of happiness and then 2 days of frustration, go for it. My room mate has the smartwatch and has been quite happy with it. I personally needed something bigger with more capability. Just give it a few more months and the market is going to explode with these things.

[Sony Smartwatch] pl8715:
I've had my LiveView about 6 months. The problem with mine is it keeps going into deep sleep and I have to reboot it to wake it up.
[Sony Smartwatch] Classpro:
For $20 I am playing with it, but I have to say it's got to be one of the worst designed products ever to be released by Sony.

You can't plug in the charger when it's in the watch band, and it's hard to get it out of the band. The plastic clips won't last if you're taking it out and putting it back in the band on a daily basis to charge. What were they thinking . . .????

I ended up using the clip and cutting half-way through the band so that the clip could slip in to the band. But it was constantly popping out because there is no back plate and any twist knocks it out. It would have been lost in no time if I didn't do something to keep it from popping out. So now I'm using the clip with some strong double-sided to keep it from popping out of the band. Really, whoever designed the band gets my nomination for idiot of the year award. Again, what was Sony thinking ???

Second problem is that there is no way to change the basic watch display. I have a hard time remembering what day it is, and really like a day on my watch. No can do. The display also won't rotate when you're using a clip. There is a free add-on with the day, but when you're away from the phone it crashes (unlike the main phone screen), so it's a poor solution. It's also cumbersome to have to scroll so much to get to the add ons.

It regularly loses its bluetooth connection, which can be a real problem when you're depending on it for calendar and gmail reminders.

There is no way to scroll through calendar appointments. This would be a killer app for the watch, but is not available. Apparently there was an add-on, but it doesn't work with my ICS phone (or later), so not much help.

Touch screen controls are finicky - sometimes they work ok, but in general are not very good. Multiple presses to get it to do what you want it to do.

Overall, incredibly bad design for watch charging, requiring you to hack together another solution, weak functionality,and probably no future support from Sony. A great gadget it's not, but maybe fun to play with. Incredible that sony would release such a flawed product. The project to replace the Sony phone connection software gives me hope, but we'll have to wait and see if it ever supports a calendar add on.
[Sony Smartwatch] nicknmyap:
I must say I'm a bit surprised at Sony's effort in this smartwatch, I keep seeing much negative user experience, these problems seem to be very basic, perhaps just a bad processor? (can't keep up with the needs of the tasks)

hi,

Today i wanted to play modern combat 4 with my phone but right after i started the game my phone begins to get hotter and thats not just while

playing for example if i use it while its plugged in to the charger it gets hotter too. Is there anyway to keep it under control.

I'm currently on the latest android revolution rom
[HTC One X+] ProfLayton:
If the phone's performance is not affected or it does not alert you in any way that it is in fact "over"heating, then getting hot is just something that the phone does (I remember reading it shutting down and flashing the LED indicator would show that it had gotten too hot). It is a powerful engine working in there, and without a cooling system, it will feel toasty. There shouldn't be any issue. In fact, I'm quite certain most any phone will get hotter when charging as well.

If you really are concerned, you'll find that there have been several threads made on the matter, and there may be one large thread where everyone shares their experiences. See if you can find anything in that thread that might help you.

In fact, here is one such thread.
