So question, would this be improvable and surpass htc's implementation? Or this just six and one half dozen? And dumb question number two: if it is streamlined, could this be used in sense based roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
i think it would need to be working for one to even begin to answer if it would be any better. as for use in sense roms its possible in certain situations. one would have to look and see if the sense rom had libraries for wimax already, or if thats something they only do in evo or 4g roms. its possible that the libhw in a lot of sense roms have the functions for wimax and so on. again ive never looked though. i think a lot of variables are involved and testing would need to be done to know for sure if the method we are currently seeking could be implemented into a non-wimax sense rom. but thats the limitations of a factory compiled rom with no source. like to my knowledge there isnt a way to just compile a services.jar or new libhw and shove it into any old rom thats been compiled.

but yeah, hope that answers the questions though :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] salty6924:
Massively Epic post.

Now, its sad that such a high profile project said to be undo able that would benefit the entire android community doesn't have more volunteers to work on this open source code. If i knew my way around in the giblets of android, i would be right there with you. But i don't, Can't another Dev step in and become part of an android legend. Wimax on all AOSP roms and more, without hassle, that's a big deal.

Mind you I'm not saying another Cyanogen related Dev, But other devs in the community whose goal it is to make android better for all.

Well after all is said and done after that rant...

Put me down for $25

Not for your efforts on Wimax alone, but your reasons for working in the first place. The both of you just got beer for your principles.

Call it Chivalrous beer. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
It is probably the best answer you can make right now. Reason I say that it is the "aftermarket" community as I call it updates and improves way faster than the oems. Plus if you can use it in sense based roms it removes our dependency on them for updates/improvements
[EVO 4G Android Development] sarahlegs:
I've said it before and I'll say it again: we love you toast, shinzul and all who contribute their hard work and skill. Collaborative open source software development is a great thing, and it is fun to watch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I don't know about love..... =)

I agree though this is impressive to watch and is a little frustrating as I think most would love to help but don't speak the "language"
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah man thats what i was meaning. like the Desire HD rom could easily be compiled with bits and parts of wimax code in it. like say the libhw may have support or what not. but the API and such may be missing, like maybe done in a config option on compile (which im sure it is). just not so sure on how much they config and leave you know?! idk anyhow yeah i hope it can be of use to everyone. :)

thanx to the post below :) i fixed my quote fail >_<
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Did you misquote?? I am confused haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I think toast was saying that we might be able to port our Wimax code to another rom, but we might not be able to. It's a crapshoot really...

Also I just want to echo what toast mentioned. It's just the two of us working on this, and it's not necessarily for lack of people willing to help (I have had several people offer to help, and I really appreciate the offers!), but at this point, given the insane reversing nature of the work we are doing, more people would be too many cooks in the kitchen ;). This is sort of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type development, heh.

Hold on tight guys, sooner or later we will get it working. (More likely sooner rather than later, but don't quote me on that ;))
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
Soooooo is that an ETA? hahahahaha just kidding.

We appreciate the fact that you guys post some reports here every once in a while, I think it alleviates some of the anxiety from not knowing what's going on.

It's awesome that you are making progress! If needed, I can volunteer for some testing. I have 4G in my house.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
I think part of the frustration (and there's little that can be done) is the lack of anything literal to wrap their heads around. How many parts are involved in this "thing" that is Wimax that have to be reverse engineered? How many parts have been written ... how many still need to be figured out ... how many have been pushed into a corner and not touched yet because there are other things you have to understand first?

People have this mental finish line ... and they naturally want to hear a "we are 75% done" or even "we are only 5% in" ... they don't like hearing that the distance itself is unknown so you have no idea how close you are. You get that and there's everything from "they should have it in a couple of weeks, did you see that last tweet??!!" to "it's never going to happen ... otherwise we'd have an ETA by now".

Again there's almost nothing that can be done about this ... kids these days have grown up watching progress meters on computers and load screens on video games .... it's like the expect everything to work that way ;)

Oh and one the testing thing .... I think it's safe to say that on the EVO board 90% of the people here will want to test it ... so I doubt they need more testers.

Here is an idea: I'll get in touch with Cyanogen and see if he would be willing to set up a separate PayPal account to which donations can be made for 4G only. That way, the CM6 team will know the donations are specifically for 4G and not just general donations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aikeru:
I'll chip in $5 for confirmed working 4G. There is no 4G in my area, but I might live in one such area someday. :)

It will be upgraded to $10 if this fix includes FM radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
We'll be giving the money to the CM6 team before there is working 4G. The money is incentive to put more man hours and allocate more resources to the development of the code.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
or you could just keep a sense ROM rigged up and nand back to it :D, why all the hate for sense? Seriously though, if i were a daily driver of CM, i would imagine this would be a pretty big deal, but since i can't get my exchange to work, its a no go. If RC3 gets exchange to work natively then i will be back to throw my name in the hat

not only 4g but also full hdmi

im down with $10 bucks but i will really appreciate if they add the full hdmi feature to it too. i really hate the limit of the hdmi since on my htc advantage i did not have any limit. thank you.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
I like the idea of putting the money in a paypal account. But how can we do this? Because it would be nice to have it ready to go to someone instead of ppl having to donate once it is done and they may not honor their pledge. Maybe let someone trust worthy hold it till then. At this rate, it might be a grand by the coming weekend for the Dev or Devs that gets this done. I am excited to see how fast this gets things moving along.

Anyone putting money down on this is crazy. There is no way that 4G is going to be available on CM6. Your asking cyanogen to stop what there doing to put 4G into there final release. Thats nuts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apristel:
They will wait for the pot to hit 2k and then start..

just sayin....

let em get to it when they can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] markdt098:
This is pointless guys, sorry. Not to rain on everybody's parade, but if/when it is feasible Cyanogen will start working on it, gratis, like always. Not even going to go into the fact that there's no way that everybody who "pledged" a donation will pay up because they know they'll be able to get it free anyway. I'd be surprised if 10% of those donating are serious.

Why don't you just be patient? If it is possible it will happen eventually. When it does, donate directly to the Cyanogen team. If it isn't possible, well tough luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aikeru:
Ohhh, I didn't realize this was a pre-work donation ... hrmmm...

OK so I read through the OP and first page and don't see how this is taking place ...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Per my previous post:

I'll get in touch with Cyanogen and see if he would be willing to set up a separate PayPal account to which donations can be made for 4G only. That way, the CM6 team will know the donations are specifically for 4G and not just general donations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aikeru:
Ah I see. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I don't recommend letting cyanogen set up the donations. Cyanogen creates an aosp rom so anybody can create working 4g, and doesn't mean they have to be affiliated with cyanogen. Any dev with time and smarts can do this and they may not want to be affiliated with cm team.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
That is awesome! did you hear that everyone, Shinzul said ...oh, oops, nevermind. :D

you and toast are awesome!!! we appreciate all that you do! the reason i love my evo is b/c of all the hard work you guys put in. (i can't develop, but i have a job and family too, so i definitely appreciate you putting ANY time into this 4g thing. If it ever is able to work, I will be thrilled. Thanks again for all you two in particular, have done to get this working.

I understand that they probably have enough testers and people that have volunteered, but since I feel bad just waiting because I have no java skills and want to contribute to this, I figured I could offer my help like that.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Offering to help, regardless of the number of outstanding offers, is a nice gesture. You don't need to justify your actions. Plus, they may need 50+ testers. You never know.

i'd just like to point this out that when shinzul shared this teaser with us on here and on his twitter, the entire internet fizzled out for a bit. freenode on irc crapped itself, cern lost antimatter, random girls within a 100 mile radius spontaneously became pregnant, and my cat started to levitate and fly to catch a moth he'd been trying to chase for days.

suffice it to say, this news rocked the very fabric of the time-space continuum.

i'm honestly excited and deathly afraid of what will happen when this code is committed, compiled, and flashed onto our evos.

I have some strange OCD/design issues, and sometimes like to try to use things as the engineer designed. Not hacked or themed, etc. I can't even really explain what I dislike about Sense. I guess I just don't use any of the features. So sometimes I try to use Sense roms, basically force myself to do it. And every time I'm back on CyanogenMod, typically within 4 hours. I think once or twice I made it about 2 days.

I'm guessing the poster was referring to some of the tweaks that can be done to 4G with some of this work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Because if it's from the community you should use it especially if its on par with HTC. Also if it's improvable then again its preferred over oem. It's funny how if you don't slurp cm you must be a troll haha
