[ROM][ABANDONED] Q'n'D Meizu M9 Vision Port (v0.1)

Meizu M9 Q'n'D port for Vision
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
03/20/2011 update: no progress made, throwing in the towel
I can't figure the framework out, every edit I make breaks something else. Long story short, this is a little too in depth for me! Between work and family life, I don't have the time to sink into this to figure it out. For anyone interested in picking the project up, I'd recommend trying to merge an updated Meizu /system dump. Once you do, you'll need to baksmali services.jar and make some major edits. Here's 3 more up-to-date /system dumps I've found around various fora:
system_v1.0.0-13940.zip - Mediafire
system_v1.0.2-14504.zip - Mediafire
system_v1.0.2-15033.zip - Mediafire
Good luck to anyone who decides to pick this up, it's no joke!
END UPDATE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a working port of the Meizu M9 ROM for Vision! I need your help debugging and testing the ROM. This is to be considered totally experimental, and is still in need of further development. I wouldn't recommend using it as your daily driver (although I suppose you could ). I'm looking for input from other hackers on fixing what's broken. Thanks!
Flash it with CWM. It will work with the latest version available in ROM manager.
Thanks to:
siulmagic - he started the port and got it booting. This wouldn't be possible without him.
eViL D - Pieces of this were taken from his MT4G port.
meltus - Pieces of this were taken from his N1 port.
XxDaLoWeSt1xX/MagnusRagnarok - Their work porting it to the EVO

Now, on to the details!
What works:
- Phonecalls/SMS
- Audio
- Microphone
- Data (APNs should work automatically)
- SD Card (recognized by phone)
- Sensors
- Keyboard
- Backlights
- Softkeys
- Accelerometer
- Haptic Feedback (needs to be enabled in Accessibility Settings)
- USB (debugging needs to be enabled in USB settings)
- Rooted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What's broken:
Major
- Wifi - enabling causes the phone to reboot
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- Mounting SD card via USB
Minor
- Resolution issues (framework edits are needed)
- Graphics issues (white on white text, etc)
- Time isn't automatically set properly. Manually set your time if it's off.. YMMV.
- Random Chinese text here and there

What I haven't tested yet:

Other things you should be aware of:
- The M9 ROM doesn't seem to sync well with Google. Your contacts will not be synced. I believe this is the intended behavior of the ROM itself, but I need to do more testing/investigating.

Included apps:
- Some Google Apps (Gmail/Maps/Chrome to Phone/Voice/Youtube/Search/etc)
- Wifi Calling (useless for now, wifi doesn't work)
- ROM manager
- Titanium Backup

I've always wanted to try Meizu out.
Best of luck.
p.s. - bug reports if I find any time to tinker with it.

Great job. I hope all the remaining features works soon.

oh .. my .. god
i have first seen this phone during my stay in china and am really interested in the whole meizu thing!
I kinda need my phone to be stable for at least the next week cuz ill be without internet or anything (going snowboarding, woohoo), but after that i will definitely flash this and help finding bugs and whatnot

I tried it looks great loved the lock screen icons everything but ill just wait until its finally ported
Thanks

I can't thank you enough for porting this rom across, although it is still in early stages I have been waiting for someone to port it across. Again thanks so much!

Hi, will other languages than german be included in this rom ?

Great work! I love you man.

WOAH. Looks really interesting. With the google sync problem:
you try skipping then logging in via market?
Wanna test but i kinda need wifi. Definately flash when fixed though

I never thought we'd get a port of this awesome looking rom, I'm SUPER EXCITE for this!

wow.., i just want those call recorder

Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I'm so excited for this port!
Get Wi-Fi Working and I'm all over it!
Good job by the way! I would flash it immediately but I don't have a data plan cause I don't really need it... I have Wi-Fi all the time.

btw mountig sdcard via usb works, you just have to do it a couple of times, eventually it will work. thats how it was when i last worked on my build.

hey guys,
i just tried it out on my gsm htc vision and i had a lot of problems even if the rom boot.
no sim detection. no keyboard/trackpad/buttons working.
i just can't try it more since i can't lock/unlock the screen and can't use the home button.
hope you'l lfix it, this rom sounds really interesting.

[DEV] We have a 90% working cam now

Ok, so, Thanks to aread22 We have a 90% working cam, since we still dont have 720p and some effects ares still broke, but share and set as both work which was the original goal of this, and while we dont have 720p recording yet, im sure we will get there (eventually )
Heres that Cam:View attachment HTCCamera.apk
oh and btw, its from the 1.84 desire sense rom.
So things still to fix:
-720P
-Some effects (graphic intensive ones, probably gpu related)
(and i really hope some mod doesn't move this thread to q&a like my last thread, WHICH WAS NOT A Q&A THREAD)

hell, go read cmylxgos thread, hes using my fixed apk..
and one of the people collaborating with us on this is cmylxgo along with g.lewarne,dandiest and a few others should be contributing too..

ok, anyways.. i have been pouring over smali files for days, trying different files in lib,bin and from looking at the log, my current guess is that the issue lies with the recording of audio when you hit record, which it runs into an error when it tries and crashes the apk.. i dont know if thats correct and im not sure what needs to be done to fix it, but thats why we have a dev thread for eh?

How about 720 recording ...is it just not possible cause I figured someone would have figured this out by now

well, that isnt something i believe that can be done at the moment, but i do believe it is possible and from what i have read its mostly a kernel issue, seeing as how wp7 can do it on our hardware and thats all software..
but before we even approach that here, i would like to get just basic recording working with the newer camcorder function..

What about A/V sync in Sense builds? I've been flashing and flashing, and have yet to find a truly working camcorder in this regard? Is this likely to be fixed?

well, who knows? maybe the different version of the camcorder could fix it? who knows until we get it working...

i think people are more likely to be using the camera so if we get a camera,it will be a big breakthrough and then the camcorder will probably come after you figured out the camera,keep up the hard work

Keep up the good work ! And this thread deserves to be in the stickies !

Finally, I'm glad to see that you've taken the initiative to get this moving. Can this also apply to the currently non-working camera that appears in the new Gingerbread Sense build by iMilka (and for other future builds)?

well, who knows, what i would like to see is people posting logs from alogcat at the time the try to run the camera (if it fc's as soon as you open it) or when they hit record (if it fc's there)
i dont know what the issue is with the gb camera (does it fc on open?)
but i wouldn't mind if this say, became the thread where we work out camera issues on all builds
and if enough people posted log snippets, just maybe we can find a commonality and that would head us in the right direction..
as it stands im figuring that the issue lies in the kernel or the libs, with the kernel looking more likely, im figuring it needs updated code to be compatible with the newer cameras and more then likely if we can get the newer camera working here, then the gb camera would also..

logcat
here i have attached the logcat. this is my first time. so im not sure if ok. i have started the logcat and then i click the camera then it did soft reset and reboot i close the logcat.

what camera apk is this and what rom?
and do this when you post these, look at the time on your watch or computer when you hit record and mention that. as long as its set the same as your device (your pc should have its clocked auto synced just like your phone so its times should match). this way there wont be a need to do a bunch of fishing for the error in the log.. oh, and set your log type to long under alogcat preferences..
edit: ok i see this is the gingerbread rom..
and wow lots of permission errors and a java failed binder transaction then all your services die..
and another odd, it seems to be connecting to htc database servers to check for updates..

Sooo.. for ex. I have frankinstein droid 1.5 rom, when i hit record it doesn't work, and i must reboot my hd2.
What i wanna install ?

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
Downloads:
Superuser Fix
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

- Las Venturas 0.4.5 Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/4LSROB7RQM

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

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

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.

Could we possibly drop a hint to the Defy guys to make an ICS rom for it;s brother Bravo? I mean it is our baby and all but would be nice to have a base vanilla rom to go off of.

Well, I think we would have camera working a long time ago, the problem is that none of them have a bravo to work with it.
Once there was someone who was talking about buying a bravo to a recognized dev from here, but nothing was done.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About ICS, I think we should take an ICS rom now and work with the camera, since I think it has no defy lib for the camera.
What do you think?

that's cool! we hope have ICS in Moto Bravo!,

[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!

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:
