I apologize for not keeping the site up to date, I’m a slacker We also had a database issue and lost the last post about 6.0′s release, if you were wondering why it went missing.

6.1 is the current work-in-progress and is coming together nicely. There’s a few new features like touch-to-focus in the camcorder, dismiss notifications by swiping, kernel updates for most devices, and improved performance. There will also be support for a few new devices- Acer Liquid, HTC Wildfire and Samsung Vibrant. My eye is also on the new HTC phones that are about to get released like the G2.

A lot of people ask me about adding support for their phone, but we can only support phones that we actually own. The CM team is always looking for new hackers to join up with us to add support for their favorite device. Get in touch with me if you’d like to help.

CyanogenMod is open source. The quality of code being added to CM has vastly improved because of the code review system that we’ve put in place, Gerrit. It’s the same system used by Google to manage the Android Open Source Project. It allows anyone to submit code to the project in a highly-visible way and gives us a way to examine and improve it before it’s actually merged. We want your code, so send us your patches. If there’s something you don’t like, change it.

Nightly builds of CM are always available if you’re brave and want to try out the latest code. If you’re running nightly builds, the best way to stay up to date on new changes is to follow on Twitter.

Our user base is approaching a quarter of a million users. This project has come a long way Thanks for all the support, we are only as strong as the community!

Thread moved to general.

Also, are you part of the CM team? Unless this is the case, you may want to give credit to Cyanogen for his work in your first post.

I have verizons samsung onmia 2 i920 and it has two default themes for the start menu a green and a red one. I have tried searching for others on google but i dont think im searching for the right stuff. Are there any themes out there besides those two? Thanks if anyone can help
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] ninja4hire:
There really are no themes for that menu. There are however themes for the Korean Main Menu that you can install with a cab file. The language is english, so you don't have to worry about that. it's basically the same thing but faster.

Here is the one I made called "NinjaMenu" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6132590#post6132590

Here is a .CAB file that will make it easier to install and uninstall: http://www.4shared.com/file/Cypgi6YD/Ninja4hire_NinjaMenu.html

Also you may want to check out Modaco as there are more VZW Omnia 2 users to get help from.

Update 21/09/10

- Bluetooth operational with generic bluetooth kext

- 1024x600 mode. I've posted again after the server overload

- Ethernet works on the external hub. Only just tried it.

- For those who are experiencing problems with apps such as iTunes not syncing with iPhones or the store, there is a fix. Open the SystemVersion.plist in /System/Library/Core Services/ and change the system version 10.5.6 to 10.5.8. This will not update the system to 10.5.8 but it will trick software update into thinking you have it so you can update the software without dramas. There isn't much difference between the two except for a few bug fixes and core frameworks. Just remember not to do the security updates or the combo update.
[Shift Development] dannyt84:
Great work!:)
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Seems like a great guide. I'll surely try this as soon as I get my hands on a crapple device.

Thanks
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Haha! yeah i got tired of waiting around for a os x tablet. the shift is a beast.
[Shift Development] EGOvoruhk:
I'm curious, why didn't you try Snow Leopard? Also, with something as non-generic as the Shift, I would have used Chameleon and went with a vanilla install so I can load each individual kext
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Good questions and thankfully I have answers for you. First of all note that 10.6 is a very lean version of 10.5. The install goes down from roughly 8GB to 5.5GB. How did they do this? They removed a truckload of obsolete drivers, most of which are needed to run the shift's older hardware. Snow Leopard also requires SSE3 to boot, which the A110 doesn't support. Also, the only practical and surefire way to patch 10.6 is using NBI (netbook installer). Don't get me wrong I did try but if NBI doesn't make SL bootable, nothing will. Anyway, Snow Leopard has a 1GHz cap which is quite hard to bypass without causing stability problems. Even running Leopard on my 667 Powerbook lagged like a b**ch (excuse the language). As for chameleon. The bootloader is a pcefi/chameleon hybrid. The reason for this is that GUI chameleon caused incredible graphics issues. The drive images on boot would be multi-colored and stretched. So GUI was a no go. Vanilla worked but it didn't WORK. The whole point of vanilla is for system updates and stability increases. Unmodified kexts did nothing of the sort for the shift. For example unmodified 950 drivers caused severe disproportionality and VGA out didn't work. In fact, the modified system kexts increased stability and boot time on an ssd is roughly 25 seconds to desktop.

Did you get touch screen working ?

I have also installed 10.5.8 version I used version fromn ASUS eee 701

as you sad there is no bluetooth wifi touchscreen working...

About wifi 8686 iPhone use ARM version the driver must be rewriten to be used on our devices...
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Bluetooth DOES work. Touchscreen as you said doesn't work. ARM/Intel won't matter as the kexts for peripherals are OS level not architecture level. Hence the reason a PPC kext will work on an Intel based Mac.
[Shift Development] -=xXx=-:
Do you know what kind of touch screen is used in shift ?

There are some drivers from usb touck screen maybe we can use them but I didn't find any information about shift touch screen need to see linux drivers...
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
I'm begging to have the same question answered. I've exhausted all resistive touch drivers for OS X and none of them are working. I'm beginning to think its a prop. touch display instead. Anyway, Linux drivers wouldn't work. Darwin has almost nothing in common. The closest thing is bsd as far as OS X applications are concerned, but again, this is just a bsd flavouring and no drivers designed for bsd will work. Sure they can be ported, but it's a much quicker route if it was to be rewritten from scratch.
[Shift Development] -=xXx=-:
Do you know what interface is used for touck screen comunication ?

Maybe it can be used for tracing output data and accomodation existing driver to our needs...

And about wifi did you get any progress ?
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Touch is definitely USB based (device manager->usb hid device). WiFi is looking slim at the moment. I've gone through a few iPhone firmware files to find a suitable kext with no luck. So it is looking to be a complete rewrite of the driver which will be quite difficult as there is no support for Marvell as far as WiFi goes. Apple only ethernet by Marvell/Yukon, thus ruling out the possibility of common driver properties between other kexts.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Just in reply to a post before the server crashed. None of the touchscreen drivers worked and the panel didn't get recognised. Also the download for the resolution enabler is back up in post 2 again. And it looks like we made it on engadget. AGAIN.
[Shift Development] roflcoptrbbq:
Featured article on egadget congrats.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Hahaha thanks. Its actually on a lot more now. Its almost a virus! hahaha
[Shift Development] shad0wfire:
could you get the drivers from 10.5 and shove them into 10.6, also see if you can use the axitotron modbook drivers

http://www.axiotron.com/index.php?id=home
[Shift Development] sebastiaanmeloen:
i will try all of this next week, as i was about to sell my shift....

it's on marketplace here.

ayilm1 you are awesome.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Yeah mate. that did cross my mind until i realised axiotron hasn't done anything to do with Synergy touch yet, meaning no finger touch at all. It's all wacom based. Synergy will incorporate resistive with this, or maybe even capacitive, but no guarantees on it working with the shift. I have started to build a kext for it but it's really difficult when you don't even know the manufacturer of the panel you are writing the driver for! Thanks Seb, just trying to help out the xda community!
[Shift Development] Deejaynate:
Wifi

If it uses the same wifi card as the iPhone 3G, the firmware is decryptable. Head onto the idroidproject.org forums. I spent time on there putting android onto my 3G and the wifi binary files were needed as they were copyrighted material.

If you like get back to me and I can get the binaries for you? If not it's pretty simple just requires some simple linux command line skills, which I'm

Sure you have since you undertook this project.

Anyway good luck, hope this helps with getting wifi to work!!
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Funny you should mention that. I remembered that thread and had a look at it less than an hour ago. I've downloaded the binaries but haven't even had time to extract them yet! Have been much too busy. I did however make a video showing OS X running. Will post a link when it's down publishing.

[Shift Development] Altimor:
Woah. Lot of thanks guy, you made me want to buy an HTC Shift.

But there's one point you don't evoke in your post : what about the battery life ?
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
I realised I forgot about that so I put it in the video. So for those who haven't seen it yet. on a battery with 182 charge cycles. I get roughly 2.5-3 hours strong.
[Shift Development] Altimor:
The only inconvenient compared to an iPad ? :)

And what about performances for, for example, Flash video playing ? Is everything fluid ?

(I will buy an HTC shift next week. You really are a good argument)
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Ok there have been a few requests for this so I will make another one of the shift running a flash video with 10.1 on os x. Now keep in mind that flash is a lot worse on os x than it is on Windows due to the stupid iPhone OS argument between Adobe and Apple and most likely without HW acceleration for flash. But regardless, performance is excellent.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Here's a video of flash and html5 operational.

[Shift Development] Gomotron:
Thanks for the post!

For the life of me, I cannot get this step to work. I've figured out there is a typo and that I think the line should read:

sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0

but after I enter the superuser password (I assume it is empty) I don't see the error message and I cannot then input the subsequent commands.

Please help a noob! Thanks.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
Haha, yeah! When I first started using terminal, sudo also really ticked me off. The problem with sudo is it won't take no security as an answer! So just go into System Preferences-> accounts-> select LEOUSB->change password. The old password is blank and new password is your new password. Go try the same command now with your new password.
[Shift Development] Gomotron:
Aha! That's done it. Thanks so much!
[Shift Development] trclayton58:
ayilm1,

In post #2 you mentioned that you got bluetooth working with a generic bluetooth kext. Sorry for the noob question, but how to I install a generic bluetooth kext?

Thanks in advance,

Terry
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
No need to install anything, generic meaning it's already in the install disc. Just make sure you switch bluetooth on from the Windows side in the Shift control centre before booting into os x as the switch for wifi bluetooth and 3G is controlled from in here.
[Shift Development] trclayton58:
ayilm1,

Thanks for the quick response.

[Shift Development] deadnex:
Any news on getting the touchscreen working?
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
School's started now so development is going to slow down to just weekends. If there is anyone experienced with developing kernel extensions, they might be able to finish it much quicker. If you do, let me know and I might be able to provide you with some information.
[Shift Development] trclayton58:
ayilm1,

I've got a triple boot (OS X, Win 7 & Ubuntu) setup working following your guidance on my Shift (I've got 2gb of memory plus a 128gb SSD). It's all working really well with one exception.

I can't see the SD card slot from OS X. I know your early post said it was working so I must have missed something.

Any guidance you can give?

Thanks,

Terry
[Shift Development] aledantas2k6:
Hi Mate,

Is it possible to dump your image so we can restore?

Like making a ghost image since we use the same hardware.

Would be heaps easier :)

Cheers
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
yeah! can't say I haven't thought about it. Problem is, it'd break a load of copyright regulations on xda since os x is a non distributable os. I'll think of a way that will be better off for both parties. I have two more exams left this week and then I'll have finished school for the year. So I can keep going with the touch drivers. If I can get those working, I'll build them into a restore image.
[Shift Development] aledantas2k6:
Stupid copyright.. . lol -

Sweet mate :)

Good luck with your exams.

Thanks again
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
haha cheers mate
[Shift Development] aledantas2k6:
Any news mate?

Cheers
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
I have started a touch driver but I need some details on the company that manufactured the digitizer in order to get some idea of the interface of the HID. Reason being that OS X doesn't have any open source touch drivers that I can refer to in order to find which frameworks I need to use. It also doesn't help that correct me if I'm wrong, the connection type for the touch screen is PS/2.
[Shift Development] netgifted:
Better than Windows 7 and Ubuntu

I just upgraded my Shift using this guide and so far I love it. I am really amazed with the speed. The shift was really crappy with Vista so I moved to ubuntu 8.04 then to Windows 7, tried Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 but there is a lot of stuff not working. I would say that so far this is the best OS on the shift but I might be suspicious since I am a Mac user. I would really appreciate if someone could find a way to have wifi working since this is a must have for me.
[Shift Development] aledantas2k6:
That would be great!! :)
[Shift Development] aledantas2k6:
Any luck with the wifi? How about external wifi dongle?

Cheers
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
For those who are wondering about driver development, I have hit a few roadblocks. For touch screen, the problem is I am not sure what bus it's connected to on the device. Logic says it's PS/2 due to the keyboard and trackpad being on those buses, but there is no hard evidence. It will be bad news if it is connected via PS/2 as there is nothing that will scan PS/2 buses on OS X as Macs have never used PS/2 as a solid I/O port. The problem with WiFi at the moment is that Apple has no Marvell WiFi driver support, meaning that a driver will need to be developed from scratch, ergo, probably an interface application as the AirPort menu will not necessarily recognise it as a valid network device. I was hoping to extract drivers from the iPhone 2/3G as they both also use the SDIO8686 but no kexts are to be found in either the extracted firmware ipsw's or the installed drivers on the physical device. As for external dongles, any Mac compatible device will work. For now, I am using an old Netgear WG111v2 dongle to use wifi. If anyone knows what bus the touch screen is connected to, it would be of great help (hoping for usb here!). As for the wireless, unfortunately I can't make any promises. Writing the touch drivers won't be exceedingly difficult as it can simply just simulate system mouse events. Wifi however requires a much deeper understanding of OS X's networking interfaces as it will need to talk to all services which require an network connection. This will most likely need to be all through a new background application that will need to talk to the wireless card as there is a slim chance that it will be airport compatible. All needing skills which I'm afraid I don't possess at this point in time.
[Shift Development] MietasSR:
If touchscreen is connected via PS/2, do you tried using VoodooPS2Controller kext (eventually with AppleACPIPS2Nub)?

BTW, why do not use Snow Leopard? I think it's work better.

I think is VoodooPS2Controller recognize touchscreen as a trackpad, and it will works.
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
The reason why snow won't work is explained in the first post. The voodoo ps/2 drivers are already install. That's how the keyboard and mouse work. The problem is that I have not actually seen any resistive hackintosh machine have touch working and I don't think the screen is even supported.

10.5.8 and sleep?

I reallly appreciate the time and effort you took in making this guide! Thanks!! I couldn't tell you how much I thank you! :)

I just have two questions...

How can I update to 10.5.8? I was hoping to be able to use iTunes, but I can't authorize my library or go on the store since Safari can't update... And updating through Software update (with 10.5.8 OR 10.5.7 combo/regular updates) makes the OSX start up, but the wheel turns slowly and infinitely... Had to restore many many times. Of course I did anticipate it, I just had high hopes :)

And how about sleep? I never realized how much I would miss the sleep functionality haha... Any experience with getting sleep working?

Thanks again!

OSX

Bravo for all your effort has, Will this work could make me switch to OSX, but unfortunately I can not do without the support touch
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
It is indeed annoying that we don't have touch support. the problem is, without knowing the controller's interface, i cannot write a hid driver.

[Shift Development] Stonewolf:
Wireless card

First of all: MANY THANKS ayilm for your tutorial on getting the Shift into Apple world :).

Now, I have only one question as for me is very important: do you have any idea how can the stock wireless card be changed? I mean physically, changing with a new card. I am not sure, but is it integrated with snapvue (all connections come from winmo side)?

Or, if someone could get the *.kext from iOS.ipsw (I also tried but the firmware is password protected and I can't get it neither with Pacifist or DiskUtils) and try to rewrite the driver. Will be also interesting to know which *.kexts are controlling the wireless card (of course, on OSX).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.
[Shift Development] Kain Goan:
Sleep Mode

Hi. I've followed the instructions and managed to get OSX working. I have to say, it is an amazing achievement that you were able to figure this out and get it working so smoothly with such easy to follow instructions!

That said, has anyone else had the problem that their Shift doesn't enter sleep? My screen goes blank but it does not turn off. When I hard reset it, the bootloader tells me the info is garbage and boots the OS normally instead of resuming.

I think the inability to sleep is why I'm only managing to get an hour or so of battery life. Any help would be appreciated!!
[Shift Development] ayilm1:
OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard now working with a custom kernel. qoopz voodoo kernel variant to be exact.

• Performance slightly slower though that could be because mine is running off USB at the moment. Internal may well be much faster

• GMA950 next works but is flakey. Performance is fine but some icons are off coloured and are extremely high contrast. Application windows are fine. But it is mainly the dock sprites.

• Wifi still a no go (unsurprised). For those wanting to swap out the card, it can't be done. There is no mini PCIe slot on the shift so ergo, no removable card. It's not worth the trouble. I just got one of these.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150Mbps-...ultDomain_0&hash=item27bdfe803b#ht_3091wt_865

• Sleep works. Need sleepenabler.kext

• No go on the touchscreen though I'm going to go fishing for the Sony Vaio UXs in the slim chance that it might work.

Installation is dirt simple. Make an image of your leopard install in case things don't work out. This way you can restore back to it.

- Get your hands on a copy of 10.6.3.

- Install it to an external hard drive using the OSInstall.mpkg in /system/installation/packages

- Download and run 10.6.8 Combo update

- Install qoopz kernel for 10.6.8 (google)

- install fakesmc.kext and nullcpupowermanagement.kext (google

- THIS IS IMPORTANT. BACKUP the AppleIntelFrameBuffer.kext from your LEOPARD INSTALL and REPLACE the one in the snow leopard install with it. SNOW LEOPARD FRAME BUFFER WILL NOT WORK.

- Install ApplePS2 kexts

- Run chameleon or chimera (thanks to tonymacx) boot loader. Either will work.

- Unplug the drive and plug it into your shift.

- After it boots of the external, open disk utility and restore it to your internal drive.

- Run chimera or chameleon on your internal drive and reboot to the newly restored disk.
