Develop Bugs

HeroGetsHoney v0.1

Hey Guys!
Well I seen a thread in the general section talking about the posssibility of Android 3.0 or Honeycomb for Hero. I decided to have a go at porting a Magic HC ROM and so here it is. It works okay, can be sluggish at times but it's really only a proof of concept but if there's enough interest I'll consider improving it to try and get everything working. This ROM is really a joint effort between me and Ybinnenweg, he's helped me develop every rom i've ever built so far so we may as well stick together .
Thanks to:
yohshua for the original rom.
Ybinnenweg for his advice and support
Elelinux for the update-script
Okay down to business..
Whats working?
- Led's
- Auto-Rotate ( it rotates after using camera but doesn't rotate back :L )
- Full Honeycomb UI
- Auto-Brightness
- SD Card mount?
- Key Lights
- Not sure what else.. find out!
Whats not working?
- Sound
- SMS
- Calls
- Camera
- USB Storage
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
Thanks to Ybinnenweg for screens

HeroGetsHoney v0.1
P.S: I know it says welcome to Elelinux-speedmachine, that's only because i used his updater-script. It'll be fixed in the next build

Wow! Any screens? How fast is it?

OMG! Great news!

I can't post screens atm, as I use my phone for work and can't use a ROM that has limited functionality for a while, I'll try get something up later. The speed is okay, it's not great but it's using fly-kernel12a, not tried using LV with it so i'm not sure if that will improve the speed. Test it out for me, any feedback is much appreciated

Nice to see you working on this but you've a lot of work to do good luck with it.
Hope this one is easier to port than MIUI

Thanks, at least I have sources for this one

I tried flashing, it said verification failed because it's missing a file, data/app/Contacts.apk something like that

what recovery are you using?

I'm using RA 1.6.2a

Lol, didn't thought it was possible to port because Google hadn't released the code I am willing to try as soon it gets a bit more usable

As the dev is AFK
Here are the screens that I've taken, they will be on the OP

the rest..

I'm sure that Elelinux had Honeycomb running on the Hero shortly after it was released by Google ... ?
It booted was as good as it got though ⊙_⊙

Thats true, don't think he ever posted on here though. I think it was more out of interest that he done it rather than a official ROM.

Just curious, will calling and sending text messages ever be fixed?

Look there is no market seeing the screenshot

Probably, I'm having a look at that just now actually, the magic rom has sms working so we should be able to get that fixed aswell

[ DEVS ONLY ] GT-I9100XXKP8 ICS 4.0.3 IML74K System Dump

MOD EDIT/NOTICE: You all accept the risks of flashing this - anyone caught complaining, flaming or idiot posting will receive a 24 hr ban. Off topic will also be subject to the same.
Here is the system dump & custom TAR of the ICS XXKP8 ROM that was leaked for the international version. This version will boot on our phones but without a CDMA kernel, there will no data, wifi, CWM, etc, so this is meant for DEVS\POWER USERS ONLY to play with.
DO NOT TRY FLASHING THESE FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERT TO A WORKING ROM AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.7z - System dump plus zImage
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.tar - Flashable through ODIN

interesting, thanks for this. how far do you suppose we are from a somewhat functional ICS build?
ninja edit: first!

Oh man, thing's are getting hot in the kitchen.
So just a quick question: Why wont this won't brick our phones? Why have their been so many people with bricked phones for flashing international ROMs?
Other then that, awesome work. Just saw your Stock EL29 repack. Youre on fire !

Sweet, great job calkulin... you the man.
I'll do a quick review video of these for sure

This is a good starting point. We need to someone who can hack the 2.3 kernel to run Android 4.0

Because this is just the kernel & system files. If they flashed the complete tar(modem, bootloader, etc), then they definitely will cause a lot of issues

When you get that one bastardized kernel, it'll be good for all international ports to use for awhile til we get source

Has anyone been able to DL the .tar?

It has it's issues, front cam doesn't work(main cam works tho), rotation is inverted, no data, no wifi, etc but at least we get a feel for what the official ICS update will be like once it's released. If we get a working kernel, then fixing those issues wouldn't be that hard as I have fixed them before on the EVO ports but until we get a kernel, I'm not even going to start trying

Kernel is the problem. Need to try to compile a kernel that will align the hardware with ICS

Yep, although if you wait for it to unfreeze, you can then move around momentarily, before it freezes again...so far I can see that it DOES NOT have the face unlock, and other than settings, popup\menus and the Gmail app, which you can notice a difference right away, even without emails in it, it looks pretty much the same being that its TWIZ and not AOSP!

For many many reasons, not least of which was no significant progress towards ICS (which at that point needed CM7 as a prerequisite). Hopefully with the system files maybe someone can drag up that kernel and see if they can be made to work together but I think it is a CM kernel and I'm not sure that could be made to play with this...

Review of this port is up...

The kernel we compiled for that does not work with this. Were going to see if we can get it going though.

[ROM] Jelly Bean Gnex Port Alpha [6/30/12][v0] Discontinued

ANDROID MAISTER'S
PRESENTS
Jelly Bean Gnex Port
The Andromadus Team is working on Jb from source, best posible way to expirience jellybean as it should be, follow there progress/releases here
​
Here it is guys jb for our beloved g2, this rom is based on the gnex jellybean leak that we saw couple days ago, right now rom is as useless as the word could posibly describe it, the rom boots just fine, but it seems the launcher does not like being render in software mode so it crashes non stop, i tried other launcher they dotn seem to work ether, im just posting this so maybe someone else can help me, to ether get launcher working in software mode or getting egl acceleration working, for this will we mostlikely need a 3.0 kernel.
Again bare in mind this is pretty much useless, and its not much fun to use, untill we solv the launcher issue, dont expect this to be a daily driver any time soon
Working:
Touchscreen forgot to mention this
It renders and reaches lockscreen thats about it, im sure i can fix more, but theres no point if we cant get the launcher working.
Not working
mostly evrything

read description i did, it does not work, im guessing its jb was not meant to be used in software mode, thats why the launcher crashes.

I want to say that aside from the fact that it's on the DZ (which is a phone I own and use), the best thing about this thread are the advertisements on the bottom of the uploadhouse.com website.
:highfive:

That's not nice of you at all....
The thread proves that, unlike what a lot of people who knows little to nothing about programming say, JB can be ported to the G2 and it can boot.
First thing first. Stuffs come later.
@siulmagic: awesome at least it boots!

@siulmagic dont sell yourself short! It takes a lot to get something like this to boot! I am sure after a while someone will get something else to work. Like taz , he is a great porter!

lol i did not see those ads on the website, will upload somewere else, my bad haha.

I knew it was only a matter of time, n they said this wasn't possible? Sure there's issues and bugs but its still in the alpha stage.

yes. I just used it and was able to turn the phone on/off, pull the notification bar down, turn off/on the screen, and get to the recent apps screen. That is just about it. I didnt get any type of signal or data. and wasnt able to get to the settings from the statusbar.

Amazing !! Thanks !!
I download now !
I just test this rom and it crashed all the time but it is normal because is in alpha,but there are yet the three bottom under the screen ^^
I'm very impatient for the next release !!

I said "ASIDE FROM THE FACT". you misinterpreted.

I would have thought JB would have taken another year for anything to be on Desire Z.

I'm just learning these past 3 years and by no means unfamiliar with personal ports from other devices but took a look at doing something similar for my device for personal use and was humbled very quickly. It's the accomplishing of seemingly impossible tasks large well funded corporations don't bother tackling by one user who solves it on their free time that make me truly love open technology. Kudos. Keep it Up. Many Thanks!

[Q] Any fixes for LED issue ? Also can a DEV make a better looking camera?

Ok so Ive flashed a few roms here and there. Including some of the Cm9 and aokp roms and also some darkside. I found a issue that kept reappearing in every flash, the LED lights at the bottom would not always work properly. They do not light up when you turn the phone on and only light up once unlocked or after 5-6 seconds.. are there any fixes? Ive trying wiping several ways and i always flash according to the OP.
Im now on xtremeperia and I gotta say its the most gorgeous ROM ever. But it still has that problem that will not go away! Ive Pm'd the Dev but they dont have a fix, wondering if anyone else does..
Also heres a question to the Developers. First and foremost I am amazed by the work you guys do! Its great!! Im wondering if one of you guys can design a new camera App, something with a sexier layout! The one found in AOkp and CM9 are just way too boring and makes the phone look cheap as well as the rest of the rom! The stock ones in GB are also a bit boring, wondering if someone can design one that looks like that of what we see on other phones/ as in a better layout. Also a shutter sound that sounds like a real shutter! not the silly nexus ones! lol Not trying to say or offend anyone but im sure lots of folks agree with me on this...
please dont tell me to download a camera app, it feels nice to have a awesome built in camera that is fully functional.
thanks!

First part - AOKP's LED's work perfect for me. Not sure why they at the very least, dont work with CM9.
Second part - Honestly, I doubt any redesigning will take place any time soon... However, you can download other stock apps? Try MIUI's it's nice, and has lots of features. However, it doesn't do video... Stock app for that? - Click here for the camera.

umm.. Isn't a built in camera app an app? Simply put you have to actually install one you download, which takes how long? If you are looking for one that installs with a rom, you could always bake up a rom in the kitchen that installs your 3rd party one of your choice..

Thanks so much for your help. I agree the AOKP july 15 self kang was successful in LED fix.

[ROM][CM10] Ultimate Jelly

Some of you requested a working CM10, so i'll provide some up-to-date test builds.
Downloadlink: http://www.mediafire.com/?7d2xd0xw9gantpo
Gapps: http://goo.im/devs/OliverG96/gapps-lite/gapps-jb-20120726-lite-rebased.zip (Flash them after you have booted, don't know it these gapps work.)
I don't have much time coming weeks so i'll change the layout of this thread later.
I don't have a HTC Hero, so I don't know what works, what doesn't. I don't even know if it boots.
YOU have to test and report what's working/bugs. It will go slow but it's all I can do.
I have used Shelnutt's CM10 build for HTC Hero CDMA which is quite the same.
Don't forget to push the THANKS button and to thank shelnutt for his builds!

Is this the rom or only gapps ?

It boots, that's a good thing. CM10 is indeed slower as CM9 on my Magic too, probably because it uses even more memory and don't forget it just a raw build.
I'll see if I can get some things improved with scripts.

Because we know what it takes to make it work since the process is almost same, our devices Hero and Magic are not that much different so the steps that are needed to port to magic are not that different from steps needed to port it for hero

It's quite easy since once you know which files have to be replaced, you just have to repeat it for every ROM you port. :good:
