[Q] MSM8255T, Adreno 205 Device has working camera in ICS -> Does this mean anything?
Hi guys,
I'm not technically savvy enough so it would help if someone could assist me in understanding the current problem faced by our awesome developers in getting a working camera in ICS for DHD. I'm not in any rush to get ICS and have never posted in the development thread so please don't take this query the wrong way. I am definitely not rushing any developer here.
3 weeks back, someone else posted a link to the Huawei Honour U8860 which has MSM8255T (overclocked 8255 at 1.4ghz) and Adreno 205 which has a working camera on the official 'demo' ICS rom released by Huawei in the developer thread but it seems to have been largely ignored (possibly because its useless?).
This is the post i'm referring to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20227811&highlight=huawei#post20227811
I believe demo rom is really a misnomer -> the rom certainly looks workable on video and perhaps is a 'demo' as no manufacturer specific customisations have been made. The rom by Huawei runs the following kernel: [email protected]#1 (I have no idea what this means).
Check out this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAE8wjRz2dY (3:02 shows the camera working fine)
So what's the issue with our device with the camera on ICS? I suppose its not the libs since the guy who posted the link 3 weeks back posted the libs but didn't rectify anything.
Some help?

We don't have the source for the correct kernel needed to get camera working...so we have do build it with out the kernel source and that is extremely hard unfortunately:/

is there any progress going on with the camera
Hey thanks. Since hardware is almost the same as u8660 would their kernel source be of use?

@Kernel devs,
Please, congregate your forces and build 3.x kernel for our precious Arc. I bet this will be one of the most (if not The Most) appreciated works. I bet this will be one of the most useful ones too. I bet almost every Arc/S user will agree with me.

Absolutely!
What are the features you are waiting for in 3.0?
soo what does the new kernel provide?! I've seen few comments about users wanting the new kernel, and was wondering what improvement will it do to our Xperia?!
Mods please move this thread to general or Q&A. This thread is for android development, not wish lists.
Yes we'd all love a new kernel, why not bump to 3.5, well the answer to that is closed source drivers. While we should be able to theoretically add most of the maintenance patches to get to the latest 2.6.32.xx, porting to different major versions are just unlikely to be possible for our phone. You can't link against something with a different API, it just won't work.
The first request should be made to Sony to release sources for these drivers. Good luck with that.
So instead of focusing on version numbers, instead ask "Is feature X possible with our current kernel" and the kernel devs will try to accommodate and patch it in.
First of all, this isn't for Wishes and Requests, this is where you share you dev work with everyone, if you have a request then go to general or Q&A.
Second, EVERY DEVELOPER ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT THIS. Everyone IS WORKING on Kernel 3.0, ICS was laggy and JB isn't perfect is because the the lack of support in the kernel. So they don't need a "request"
Third, it is not impossible but very very hard. There is a reason why kernel 3.0 was never ported, because even the best devs like FXP and DoomLord CAN'T. Unless Sony releases their hardware sources or some developers open up his own Arc and get it out, no kernel 3.0 can be ported!
Custom msm7x30 3.0 kernels are still really in infancy stages with no major changes. If anything it's just a facelift but still the same purpose-wise.
Well, for those saing that devs can't do something I would argue - there's a 3.0 kernel being developed for HTC Desire (which also has closed source drivers) and guys working on it are pretty close. Same goes for HTC DHD and HD2 if i'm not mistaken. So why not for our device?

It would be just awesome, beacuse idiots from Sony will pobably never update our kernels. Even HTC Wildfire S (which is little, smarttoy) has 2.6.35.x. It's not big difference, but... It is!

Work had already begun (with a lot of help from Jimbo77). It is stopped now (holidays) but for sure it's not abandoned.

Because there is no Sony msm8255t 3.x kernel released that we can use as a base. There are major changes between 2.6.3x and 3.x kernel so
-all hardware related files (read: cpu, vibra etc) must be updated
-all drivers (read: screen, keys, sound etc) must be updated or rewritten
so it takes a lot of time and learning.
It's done when it's done

first and bigest major new funcion is ntfs suport(for me there are, also sove with batery iporvents , also ksm is form 3.0.16 or 3.0.8(with used in cm roms))

I had internal functions in mind (like ssize_t(*show) ), not user level.
Why would anyone think that this thread belongs in Development section, is beyond me.
Moreover, why would anyone think that in such community, known for the breakthroughs that its developers are achieving at a daily basis, such a request thread is needed.
I would like to believe that anyone who has been here long enough knows that if something is possible, it is done.
So, all in all, please think twice before clicking the "Start A New Thread" button.
Thanks for your cooperation.

MIUIv5 will Jelly Bean, based on GeekyDroid's CyanogenMod 10.
Kitkat will be Source Compiling, and may not be fully functional.
let me Know, So I am working on a more beneficial project.

Due to lack of responses for my present project, I have decided not do.
I also ask the moderator to close this thread

I Thought of doing Kitkat, tried with prebuild Kernel but compiler says its deprecated and discontinued.
So trying to compile Kernel with the Kitkat ROM.
To make it happen, Need some support from you guys !
Well i am not developer

you see i don't own a linux ever. i use windows and my laotop is mostly always filled my own stuff. i need a decent RAM for building a machine for ROM And kernel development. so in that case i never able to succeed. IT require a certain amount of knowldge about programming which i don't know. so here everything stops. Well i tried to ask as much as developers in the past to make us a 3.0 kernel. but the issue is that our processor is way too slow and moreover it is single clock. The biggest thing that hampers the development is the non availability of GPU. After 2.3.7 google has introduced hardware acceleration. That was the last that was enough to kill our willy. Now as the code changes and and API changed with the more powerful phones. So at the end of the tunnel i also came to know that arm 6 processor does not support ART. So whati thought that someone will try to port the kitkat for our willy. But most of the devices that are getting the updates of kitkat are having GPU. I closed down my threats because of this. No one want to work on a device in which the power is way too less. so the main issue is not with kernel i saw HTC Explorer got KITKAT on 2.6 version of kernel though it is buggy but still they got it. Now hell it again has GPU. SO GPU is must for anything to happen after 2.3.7.. SASA's last attempt to built 4.2.2 is the last ray of hope for us. Because there the main developer of the arm 6 supported us for a while but then he vanishes. Well now just imagine for a wonder that somebody will post a KITKAT built. :good:
Hi Guys,
First of all I must appreciate of all developers who work on Gnexus.
I have a main question and this is: Why no one (of developers) try to complete his/her project?
I mean most of them decided to get right of his/her Rom while there are some f.. bugs in these Roms, especially about 5.1.1 for Gnexus. I know that our Gnexus maybe has low ram, weak CPU or ... but there are a lot of developer in XDA who work on older phone than ours and are successful to make or cook a bugless Rom. You can easily look around.
I think either our developer couldn't Fix main bugs or it is not worth to Fix them for people that are waiting to use their creation and enjoy 5.1.1 or 6 Android.
I hope someday someone appears and solve all of bugs in this phone.
Unfortunately I have no knowledge to develop a Rom.
Members of XDA gods are good,
I am a T321 users, I have spent a long time T321 tablet system when I was too old when I see the same configuration of the machine on the XDA [T320] can use the latest CyanogenMod 13 3G T321 and not related to the ROM
I hope to have the big guy can help T321 users with the latest CyanogenMod on 13, because the system still on Android official 4.4[KitKat], there are many software cannot be run, if someone will be very happy to launch
Whether or not this request, I am very grateful to you
