[Q] Linaro in Sandvolds ICS ROM? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do hope Sandvolt will pick up this post, since i'm not able to post in the development forum.
Hi Sandvold,
So i read about this today, and i'm wondering if it's possible to integrate this into your ROM?
androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831
It's supposed to make Android run faster on ARM chipsets.
Could someone who can post in the development forum refer to this post?
Many thanks!
Greets,
Nielzs

Sounds to good to be true, but would like to see it in sandvolds ics, too. If it works...

lets wait and see...

hmmmmm

[Q] ???????HELP!!!!!

I've been looking at a few ROMs but I'm not sure which I like most, so i thought i needed to learn to make one....any help would be great....I want to have the new gingerbread 2.3 in it as well.
slellll checck?
is that better
It is probably a bigger undertaking than you are imagining.
To address your 2.3 req, the only thing you are going to be able to use is the aosp code, and not a sense based rom.
To address the getting started question, i would begin by search in the q&a as multiple people have asked this question so you will find some links to get you started here and in q&a. good luck and have fun!
Stickies provide a lot of info and help me out. As far as ROMs, I would just head to the Dev section and start looking around, trying things out to see what you like. For 2.3, I recommend CM7, it's not totally stable yet for everyone, but has been for me. I'm on nightly 6 and it works fine for me.

Silly question about kernels

I wonder what'd be the differences among "sense kernels", "miui kernels" and "aosp kernels".
In my perception there should be no difference.
I mean, which kernel setting or device driver would harm, say, CM7 against MIUI?
Based on my humble knowledge, there is Sense kernel because of the closed sourced framework(?) used by HTC on their phone. It is done so as to prevent from people anyhow porting to other non-htc devices?
As for MIUI and AOSP, I personally believe because of the MIUI framework being different from AOSP as it tailored to be more iPhone look alike?
Above those are view coming from a noob, do correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks

That's really new to me, that the Sense UI needs some kernel level (closed source) stuff to be included!
I thought that the Semse UI was something on top of the grapfics layer, well above the kernel.
But of course, I can easily be wrong.

Maybe you are right, but it's also related to development.
And, moreover, 50+% of posts here are questions.
How can I move this to Q&A?
Wrong section. Should be in the Q&A section.
I'm sure one of the mods will move it soon.
but this is not a post, its a new thread
"Silly question"

The only really silly question is the unasked one.
Where there seems to be thousands of silly answers.
If mine is an "already asked and answered" question, please point me to the source.
Otherwise, please, either answer or refrain from posting.
Thanks in advance, as usual.

you only wrong to open a thread to ask something in the dev section..you can post in dev only when u developed something that you wanna share..not to ask somethign related to dev
about the different kernels..for what i know aosp and miui are about the same
sense kernels are different because htc did a lot of changes in its kernels..and these changes make the kernel incompatible to work with every rom..it works only on sense rom...and in the same way a sense rom work only with a sense kernel
htc deliberately make different methods in the kernel, and different methods call in the frameworks..the only working match is sense rom+sense kernel..just that

Instead of making comments about the question, we should answer
Sense Kernels: These kernels are modified kernels based on Google's Android kernels, but also includes some tweaks and options for Sense UI. If you're planning to use Sense included ROM, you must use these.
MIUI Kernels: These kernels are modified for MIUI release ROMs.
AOSP Kernels (Android Open Source Project Kernels): These kernels are the ones that Google developed and published the sources. If you are not planning to use Sense or other manufacturer based UI interfaces, you can use these with AOSP ROMs.

[Q] Which is the best ICS ROM for Desire?

Hi everybody!
I'd like to know which is the best ICS Rom for our HTC Desire...
At the moment i'm running Cyanogen7.1 and everything is fine, but i'm tired of gingerbread and don't want to wait Cyanogen9 to be stable
So, in your opinion, Which is the best rom for everyday-use?
I know there are camera issues, but this doesn't matter to me
What i'm looking for is good stability, good script for application to ext, and good (fast) browsing experience!
Also have a question:
What kind of Hardware Acceleration are ICS Rom using? Is it native support with latest Adreno driver or other?
The best ICS rom is to use the search function and try yourself.

I supposed that someone would answer this way
but i don't have the time to try all the ICS Roms... So i would be grateful if someone that have tried various roms will give me any suggestion
Oh my look what I've found here using the handy search tool.
Five pages full of replies as to what is the best ICS rom. How convenient. All I have to do is give a little bit of my time to read them all and take it from there. I don't have to create a new thread, wait all day for replies that ends up flaming me.

Whatever it uses, it is not up to the task. kite edit: uncalled for :/
Edited by moderator. Maybe best if I removed the whole post so someone wouldn't think I'm actually being helpful in these kind of threads.
There is no "best ROM", most ROM's are different and people like different things.. some people prefer "eye candy" and other AOSP highly customizable ROM's.
It's up to personal preferrence.
I think there are only three anyway, and one of them is miui. So, try bcm and sandvold and see which one you prefer. Sorry I cannot help you more, because I never flash beta roms on my phone. I am using it too much...

MIUI has now been cut from development.
AOKP dev has paused development for a week or two due to other commitments, so it's a bit behind the other two, but will be back soon.
I personally prefer BCM over Sanvold's/ Nickez's release.
I also prefer BCM over others but there is one big problem for me that in some games like Angry Birds or Temple Run sometimes touch doesn't reacting, just hardware buttons.

IMHO:
It all depends how fed-up with gingerbread you are. There are currently no ICS roms for Desire that would match Gingerbread based ones in terms of speed and stability. That being said, BCM and Sandvold are at the stage where they can be used on a daily basis as long as you willing to accept that your phone might be unresponsive in critical situations.
AFAIK:
BCM is made from CM9 source soi if you come from CM7.1 this would be the smaller change in functionality (regarding mods). It's up to you whether it's a good thing or not.
Sandvold's rom is made from Evervolve source. (I'm not that familiar with that.)
I started ICS usage with Sandvolds rom a few months ago then I switched to BCM for the reasons mentioned above. These two roms' update rate is pretty muck head-to-head. Currently (AFAIK!) Sandvold's one has video recording and support for barcode scanner with higher instability while BCM only has photo capturing but more stable at that.
Both roms use Drewis kernel for HWA and not native drivers as when the drivers were made available most of the functionality they would provide were already ported by drewis and since he is more comfortable with his own source he keeps improving that.
Keep in mind that the official drivers for the chipset not for Desire in particular so official drivers wouldn't be answer for all HWA related problems. (I heard somewhere that HTC had a wierd way of implementing camera, but that might not be true.)
There's a new thread called COS-Bravo ICS by roalex. Haven't tried it yet but it seems very active recent days.
The project of Sense 3.6/4.0 porting looks very delicious, too.

[Request] Comparison between different kernels

Hi!
Just started looking for a custom kernel for my HOX and noticed that it is quite difficult to chose what kernel to use because there functions are not explained very clear. Also I started search on Google on how well the kernels work compared to each other, but i did not find anything.
So my request is that somebody who is good on this, explain what is the different kernels specialty and what you should chose and why!
I think more people than me could really have help of this!
Hope somebody whats to help!
Sorry I don't have an answer but this should really be in the Q&A forum or the general forum.

Stock 4.1 based ROMS... discussion, recommendations, etc...?

I've been away from XDA for while and in that time dev work on the ported LG 4.1 has gone nuts... Rather than clog up the development threads with general info and questions, I made this thread over here.
So... Which version are you running and why? What works/doesn't? Does the new hangouts apk work well on it for SMS? Battery life... How has it been?
C/N: I am confused about which to flash, help plz!
