Hi All
Does HTC put Friendstream inside HTC Hero 2.1 rom?
French langage is present inside multi-language? For example in home menu, "Téléphone" instead of "Phone"
Many Thanks
Gibou

ok.... so which one do I use? yours Paul, or roufianos (which certainly sounds interesting), or 42's eclair-update-signed?
and this is likely a really naive question LoL, but I'm guessing these won't overclock?
And if they won't overclock, will it be possible for you amazing people to supply a kernel that CAN overclock any time soon using the actual hero 2.1 official kernel source? or is that going to be unavailable source code for the forseeable future (based on past experience with google/htc)?
One of my current issues with VR6.2.1 is that the camera only works at iso100, making it almost useless for taking pics of kids/dogs/anyone who isn't posing still. I'm hoping that this official rom fixes that. But I'm thinking that maybe using an alternative kernel that can overclock which isn't actually based on the official hero kernel source code but is in fact taken from the Eris (like VR6) might break the camera iso functionality again.
So much boring long crap I'm writing eh? LoL
oh, and most importantly, thanks for being super amazing!
cheers,
Dkelley

No voice search or voice input. Is it possible to add or get this?
Otherwise it's a very good rom, very fast!

Use whichever ROM you want.
SetCPU seems to be overclocking ok, HTC have to release kernel source code as they have modified other open source stuff.

you should be able to use any 2.6.29 kernel (from other 2.1 roms) or build your own using the leaked kernel sources http://github.com/behnaam/HeRo-2.6.29-GoDmOdE .

Works great for me Hero GSM China Mobile.

i have a question, will i receive if the official have any other update pack??

Hi ! Thank you for this release ! Flashing right now. I'll use it until the WWE or European version come out.
I still find that the new "shiny" look of the Sense UI is not as good as the previous one

Is there any body using oc kernel? If yes which kernel you using with this rom?

i flashed this and booted it up, and there's a little box in the middle that says "Loading........it make take several minutes to complete, please wait"
its been there for 10 minutes now
should i reboot, or take the battery out ? or just wait ?

[ROM][WIP] CM9-marvel-UNOFFICIAL [UPDATE: April 25th]

This is a project trying to get CyanogenMod 9 working on the HTC Wildfire S.
If you are a developer and you're working on a device with msm7x27 hardware, contact me, we have a dev only IRC channel to work together.
People who helped during development, with their input, knowledge and patches:
alquez (CM7 port and kernel fixes)
Droste (Input, help and patches)
PabloPL (Thanks for the input)
WinSuk We worked together on fixes for Marvel and Liberty
There will be an official marvel (unofficial CM9) release next week (week 18). I need to prepare for that.
TODO:
* Get camera fully working.
The HTC Aria (Liberty) uses the my kernel tree now. Thanks WinSuk for the trust
NOTE: Don't send me private messages asking for a HOWTO. Everything is documented in the CyanogenMod Wiki. You can't help if you're not able to set it up on your own.

If you want a tester i am there for you 24/7 at your service and if you want you can teach me in this stuff as well... good going though keep up the good work and port cm9 fast on our devices

I'm currently stuck with surfaceflinger, but I think it is a kernel problem. We can't access /dev/kgsl
Code:
[pid 220] 13:08:58 open("/dev/kgsl", O_RDWR|O_SYNC|O_LARGEFILE) = 12
[pid 220] 13:08:58 ioctl(12, 0xc00c0902, 0x100ffc6c) = 0
[pid 220] 13:08:58 ioctl(12, 0xc00c0902, 0x100ffc74) = 0

How can i help??

modpunk said:
Hello,
the last days I've chatted with alquez. He told me how to build cm7 and we discussed how to proceed with a kernel for marvel, marvelc and marvelct. We decided to work together on a new kernel. During this week I've started to look how cm9 is built and started to work on it. 10 min ago my first cm9 finally build trough.
I've submitted all my patches upstream or to my git repo. I still wonder how to fix webrtc so that it works for all people out there. It tells you it doesn't support several assembler functions but they are available on arm6. So you need to trick it to think your building for armv7.
I still don't have a kernel for it with atmel fix. That's the next step, then rebuilt it and give it a try. I will let you know as soon as I could boot it.
If you're a developer working on a QCOM device let me know. We need an upstream fix for webrtc and a kernel with patches which are accepted upstream (=cyanogenmod).
I'm tired and have to sleep now...

Awesome

Some posts above I wrote that the problem is SurfaceFlinger not starting. The reason is it can't open KGSL device. The only thing you can do is to tell me what's the problem. I have to dig into the code check check what it doing on the device and then try to figure out what's missing from the kernel side.
If you know don't know how Linux on the system level works, understand C/C++ and know how to debug these things there is nothing you can do.
If you know these things I can send you the rom or the instructions how to build it.
Sorry if I'm rude.

We needed gralloc.msm7x27 and copybit.msm7x27. Now it looks like mass storage support isn't working and kills us.

It boots, you can access the shell, follow logcat, then it reboots ...
The problem is the time is short to get on the device and figure out what's going on. I need to attach strace to some daemons to see what they are doing. Maybe tomorrow...

What does * mean? - GLOSSARY

People have always asked me (and I've always asked people) what does * mean. * being the thing you are asking. Most of the time you will probably guess or ask. If you ask you could be making your self easily a noob.
I have made this in order to help. If you see a mistake or incorrect definition please tell me so I can correct it.

[Q] Kernel: usbhost + multitouch + norefresh for 1.2.1?

Hi,
I'm looking for a kernel (uImage) with usbhost + multitouch + norefresh for my NST firmware 1.2.1.
Thanks

me too actually. Altough i would not have to be a uImage. Zip files would also be awesome

Have you tried this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906507
I know there is a version with no-refresh and USB Host, not sure about multi-touch,

I'm also looking for one. Have USB host with keyboard working but would like kernel for 1.2.1 with drivers for audio, multitouch, etc

posts on that thread said that only version 166 works on 1.2.1
but only last version (174) of this kernel has usbhost support.
Maybe I misunderstood

Thanks for the information about the kernel but I don't have the skill to compile a kernel.
And I don't know which options to turn on in kernel-config to have usbhost, multitouch and no refresh at the same time.

The following two sources for uImage contain the identifier: Linux-2.6.29-omap1.
http://nst-recovery.googlecode.com/files/uImage_usb_audio_test.zip
http://nst-recovery.googlecode.com/files/uImage_mt_usbhost_115.zip
That is the same identifier as the uImage I am using with 1.2.1. Whether either of the above will work with 1.2.1 I do not know & I am hoping someone with experience will say. Also, I am not sure if changes to any other file will be needed to get either running. The first file is said to have been deprecated, though why I know not.
I also do not know what drivers each contains besides those indicated in the name.

I actualy use http://nst-recovery.googlecode.com/files/uImage_mt_usbhost_115.zip on my nook 1.2.1. Usbhost and multitouch works but I can't enable norefresh on this kernel.

I've tried both uImages above & both work on my 1.2.1 but no-refresh unsolved here, too.

[W.I.P][PORT] Sense 5 for Vision

Hi guys,
Some progress are made.
Finished building kernel :victory:
Tryed on Sense 4 (by @coolos ) BOOTS
Tryed on ported Sense 5 BOOTLOOP :crying:
Thanks to @coloured_chalk for his kernel source and begin and important dev for this project :highfive:
Thanks to @coolos for teach me porting Sense 5 and some more useful things :good:
Best Regards,
Marco Marinho

Please mention others devs. I don't know very much the HTC Desire Z community

I'll try this like... next year or something. heheheh
(can we get an MIUI port instead? much needed by now.)
---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
Also, does this work on an rom with sense 4.1? because I'm currently running a sense rom...

@_MarcoMarinho_ good idea, although I think it would be a hard undertaking:
* Other members and I have tried porting JellyBean ROMs but we don't yet know of a way to get the hardware keyboard fully working (lights, auto rotate, etc.);
* That ROM you linked still appears to be in alpha state, perhaps it's best to wait until everything is functioning on that first or look for Sense 5 on another similar device (although the Desire HD has the advantage of being the same resolution which makes everything much easier);
* All of the Desire Z developers working on JellyBean pretty much abandoned 4.1.2 in order to start work on 4.2.2 so unless Sense 5 can be ported to 4.2.2 this could cause problems because I know that many improvements were made, for example in cn.fyodor's AOSP JB, between these two versions;
* The Desire Z has limited RAM and Sense is very heavy, although HTC may have remedied this in Sense 5 so it may run fine;
* I wouldn't even know where to begin on the kernel, all I know is that Sense kernels can't run AOSP ROMs and AOSP kernels can't run Sense ROMs. I have no idea why though. I would have thought all it takes is some small modification of the Andromadus 3.x kernel.
On a positive note, this would be awesome and I'd much rather use Sense 5 than previous Sense versions, namely because I can't live without gapless playback which ICS lacks. I would like to help but I currently lack a booting computer although I hope this is remedied soon!

* All of the Desire Z developers working on JellyBean pretty much abandoned 4.1.2 in order to start work on 4.2.2 so unless Sense 5 can be ported to 4.2.2 this could cause problems because I know that many improvements were made, for example in cn.fyodor's AOSP JB, between these two versions;
* The Desire Z has limited RAM and Sense is very heavy, although HTC may have remedied this in Sense 5 so it may run fine;
* I wouldn't even know where to begin on the kernel, all I know is that Sense kernels can't run AOSP ROMs and AOSP kernels can't run Sense ROMs. I have no idea why though. I would have thought all it takes is some small modification of the Andromadus 3.x kernel.
On a positive note, this would be awesome and I'd much rather use Sense 5 than previous Sense versions, namely because I can't live without gapless playback which ICS lacks. I would like to help but I currently lack a booting computer although I hope this is remedied soon!

Yes, but we can build the kernel with ION support. Then we only need to take the files from HTC Desire HD e replace some to make it work on our device. The only thing we need to create/build is the kernel, so won't be difficult right?
BTW, @HTCDreamOn , I saw that you took the kernel for saga and make it work on vision, so you can do the same right? They had the kernel source in the thread :good:

As mentioned, I think sense 5 is too heavy for our device. The desire HD has an additional 256 MB of ram over our device. A fully functional CM11 is probably the best we can ask for our device.

Sense 5 is not so heavy, and I am pretty sure it will work great on DZ. Only problem is kernel and drivers (biggest problem).

The only thing that is impossible is the impossibility As @coolos said the only problem is the kernel and drivers :highfive:

Ok first of all most people are having difficulties booting Dr.Globs Sense5 atm,
so I suggest either trying Unimaginable (IncS section) or Imaginable (DHD section), both confirmed booting fine, or of you want Sense4+, link to AceTify is in my sig. Obviously you need ION kernel to boot any of these. Of course that's for testing/debuging only, you need a permission if you choose to release re-ported ROM

Desire 300 has 512MB and is running Sense5 lite.

I'm not saying to port from snese 5 Dr.Globs, I only quoted a thread that he opened, I only quoted to show that the differences BTW Desire Z and Desire HD aren't much. We only need to change a little things to make it work on our device.
The first step is porting the kernel with ION support. I'm currently working on it :highfive:
I will facing unkown problems. I already tryed to change the source code, update the toolchain and is the same
-SmOgER, can you help me with this. Look at the attachments please

Ask @coloured_chalk or @tweakos,
I'am not very big expert on kernels.

you use wrong make syntax the proper should look something like
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
You set CROSS_COMPILE var with the path to yours toolchain but didnt use it later. Another missed part is ARCH . Also -j with CPU thread num will decrease compilation time
Look at http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source for more info
ps ION support is kind of easy if the kernel sources are with proper drivers for it. When I have time to work over my kernel I should update the drivers to be able to add ION support.
Cheers

Try different toolchain. If you use linaro 4.8 try older version 4.7 or 4.6

Good news guys,
Kernel - BOOTS :victory:
And I get it the drivers :good:
So the next step it's port it. I will check if the ion support it's enabled
Check op for more information.
Happy new year to everyone

Ok, first try porting sense 5.
At the begin graphics glitches and then black screen, reboots and do the same :crying:
Gona try with a different kernel :highfive:
Feedback soon.

FAILED!
Trying to do a clean kernel now. I will build ASAP. Keep your Eyes Open

As I don't know anything about that kind of stuff, all I can do is wish you good luck and thank you for keeping our dear old device alive
All the best for 2014 man !

is there any Navigation Bar option available in this upComing ROM?

try porting this unless you found a D300 one already o.o
