2.1 source on HTC Dev? - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

2 new kernels dropped today, still no GSM Hero, but there is CDMA Hero for US pplz
Is this 2.1? anyway it looks like its close.
http://developer.htc.com/

Um, the GSM Hero kernel source has been out since 22 Oct 09.
The CDMA Hero kernel source that was finally released is for Android 1.5.

All 1.5 if you ask me.
If it would be 2.1 we would already noticed it.

Well the HTC Tattoo kernel source was released also & it's supposed to be running Android 1.6.

No, it is not 2.1 because it is not Android. It is the kernel source for the CDMA Hero. It is kernel version 2.6.27, which is the same revision level as the one which shipped with the device.
The kernel source is quite separate from the Android source code which is released under the AOSP. However, it does seem that the Android 2.1 code was dropped into AOSP earlier this week. (Edit: for more info, see here)

CDMA Custom ROMS are better than GSM ROMS?

Don't know if it fits here but I thought maybe the ROM developers would have an answer for this...
It seems the CDMA Hero ROMs are for some reason faster and more stable than the GSM Hero ROMs, is it true? any reason it might be like that?
The cdma cooked roms are based on a more update/complete leak. This is why more things work or work smoother.
Once the GSM official update is out you wont see any messing around converting CDMA roms to GSM phones.

isn't VillainROM 5.2 based on a CDMA leak? when you port it to GSM you loose some stability?

If any stability is lost then it will be down to the fact that its not designed for our GSM Hero phones.
Its a comparison that should not be made, compare a complete GSM ROM release or leak to a CDMA one for a fairer test. At the moment were still waiting on a GSM one for Android 2.1
Yeah I know it's not a fair comparison
But now we can already see the "April 16th" date is irrelevant and we're off to the next speculated date "end of April"
Thank god for ROM devs
OTA is on the end of april, the RUU still might be the 16th, or am i being optimistic

Sense 2.1 for Desire is possible

And you know why? Because Wildfire S has the same size of ROM as our Desire and it's running Sense 2.1 just fine. It will be probably stripped down, but still better this than nothing.
what about sense 3.0
hopefully you are right! when you mean stripped down what features are missing from the wildfire s that are normally in the ROM?
3.0 won't work as the graphics will take for ever to run properly on the Desire
I am happy with Sense 2.1
It's already possible to use sense 2.1 for our Desire. The Roms aren't stable and basicly features like the camera doesn't work at the moment.
Look at these Roms:
[ROM][Ginger Sense][04 Apr]RCMix S v06 A2SD/DATA++, long sms works, TV animation!
[ROM][Ginger Sense][2 April]Cool DesireS v1 A2sd+ 1.28.401.1 Base
Oh, thank you for informing us, Captain Obvious!
Ours version is 1.0 (at least mine is so) and I m contented to 2.1 which is available on DHD, DS and incredible-S now, hope it comes with gingerbread soon.

i''m not developer and haven''t used HTC Sensation as it just came out, but is it not possible to port Sense 3.0 due to Sensation being dual-core? or will the interface be hardware accelerated? what do you think?
HTC Sense 3.0 will only support Sensation, EVO 3D, Flyer and newer devices; older hardware left behind - From Engadget
I thought I heard that Sense 2.1 with Gingerbread was coming out for the Desire soonish...

There is a leaked Bravo (Desire) ROM already in the DEV section. Hopefully working ROMs (rooted, data++, etc.) will be up tomorrow
Tomorrow is not acceptable! We need them today!

HTC Releases the sourse code for EVO GB Kernel

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-r...ncluding-evo-3d-sensation-4g-and-incredible-2
http://developer.htc.com/
Finally! I need some sbc goodness!
YES!!! SBC and hopefully the tun.ko module compiled in so that I can use the Cisco SSL VPN client on my EVO4G!!!
Best news I've heard today!
FINALLY!! woot!! can't wait for that sweet battery loving kernel!!
I wonder how long it will take them to get some new kernels out now? HTC took forever to release it. Looking forward to some new kernels.
It's about time.. now I can use the latest roms
EVO 4g:Manila Carbon Fiber v2.4
KERNEL:Netarchy 4.3.2 cfs sbc havs less
With this, could we potentially get 720p video on AOSP roms?

I don't think so. The source code for the HTC kernel will allow custom kernels to be made for Sense GB ROMs.
Awesome news, I just got done flashing MIUI and Deck's and nanding back to MikG, damn the bloat, but AOSP just isn't as smooth and stable for my EVO.
"source"; This was already posted in general section hours ago; this news doesn't belong in development.
We cant for forgot all of those sweet Govenors...especially smartass; as well as the BFS scheduler and HAVS.
Ok I'm confused,
I thought we already had that???
Looking at SavagedZen 2.2.1 it says it is 2.6.38. with SBC etc
Yet the HTC just released is 2.6.35
What gives? what am i missing?

As launches go, other than the Teg3 graphics issues (flickering), it hasn't been that bad. Most of the major issues have been addressed between 1.29.07 and 1.29.11 and supposedly there's another update to follow. Rather than compare the phone to "perfect," compare it to other high-end phone launches. You'll see it's not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be.

Probably not.
We have 2.6.39, the first ICS was based on 3.0.1., or if they hadn't had a massive pointless renumbering, would have been called 2.6.41.
I guess the reason people haven't moved up is because in mainline they started moving all the arm specific files around and consolidating features between the different architectures. This will make it easier in the future, but merging changes when all the files have moved is a ballache.

The One S and XL are on 3.0 so if Nvidia gets off their lazy asses you can assume Teg3 devices will move up too. All the new Asus, Acer, and Toshiba (some not even released yet) tablets are using Teg3 so I can’t imagine the manufacturers being OK leaving them on an outdated kernel forever. It would make sense though to update the kernel at the same time the OS is updated to 4.0.4 which could be weeks to months away. No one but Nvidia knows for sure what the answer will be.

Nothing to do with the kernel sent from an asus transformer tf101 running android 4.0.4 on 2.6.39.4 kernel
Could have also been sent of my LG GT540 which is a year or more old running 4.0.4 on a 2.6.29 kernel has updated to .35 now but regardless you see my point

So people lets start another petition for HTC and nvidia asking them to update the kernels to 3.0.I think its upto us or else nvidia will not do it themselves as they dont care about developers!
Am I going bonkers, I thought my transformer prime had that kernal and running 4.04?

Would like to know too, whats our disadvantage from now being on 3.0 ??.
In short.
In details.
And one more for the hope we get upto date kernels!
As already mentioned several times, there are no special landmark
features or incompatibilities related to the version number change,
it's simply a way to drop an inconvenient numbering system in honor of
twenty years of Linux. In fact, the 3.0 merge window was calmer than
most, and apart from some excitement from RCU I'd have called it
really smooth.

Wow, bring it on!
What i would be interested in is whether battery consumption is therefor increased or if it remains the same? Either way, i hope this gets the attention it deserves. It doubles the fps, this is crazy!
nvidia is not involved in this project according to linaro website
the dev in the video mentioned they were only developing for ARM processors.. .. looks like the wait begins

99,99% of all Android devices are ARM. Intel has just ported it to x86 but there has never been a worlwide release of an Intel-Android phone yet, so it makes a lot of sense to keep it on ARM. Needless to say that the HOX is ARM-based too. No need for sad faces...
basically if u use custom rom which is based on AOSP, AOKP & CM9 your in luck because these developers can use this now,
while sense have to wait for htc to update... thus us <---- right?
personally i dont see if happening anytime soon
Not happening on tegra just because Nvidia is a bad company and will not release any source for their drivers and so therefore there's no way to port the timizations over.

I would guess less battery usage. It goes faster because the code is better optimised and therefore fewer instructions to achieve the same goal.

I don't think the ABI is affected by these changes, so it should be possible to build the kernel and still use the prebuilt nVidia binary drivers.

as you can see in the users feedback opf this ROM lots of GPU acceleration issues
on the linaro website FAQ
its actually said they dont support Nvidia processors since NV didnt join the program
anyway ill keep my eyes on that ROM
To be fair I think nvidia will keep a close eye on this and work that has worth they will use internally, so its not all bad. It does however mean a long wait until users see anything from it though

Most likely nvidia would like to release the source but can't because of non disclosure agreements with 3rd parties. Anyway acoording to the video most optimization is to the cpu so even on sense we could soon see some of the optimizations on custom roms.
Also a while ago I build custum RPM packages on Mandriva, when building on Mandriva by default it uses strict aliasing and many packages refused to build but adapting the code to compile was relatively easy, even for someone like me with little to no experience in coding.
This would do really, really great on the one x.
How hard is it to port the toolchain to tegra3?
