Develop Bugs

CM7 port is possible

Hello all,
I just wanted to let you know my experience from some minutes ago.
I successfully boot up CM7 ported to my device.
Everyone is free to do so, but be careful what you do.
I used the kitchen to cook it, so thanks to dsixda for his work.
And also to arco68 and cowithgun whose kernel I was using.
Last but not least KezraPlanes for his Rom I was using as base and for comparison.
Sadly, this is just a quick and dirty port so no downloadlink.
Also there have to be still many bugs and things not working, cause of the cm rom I used.
To state some:
GPS (does not lock)
Audio (both input and output, will be tough)
Camcorder (because of audio)
Storage-related (external SD not working, internal with no USB storage, vold misconfigured)
USB tethering/MTP (will require some programming)
Host access point (similar to USB tethering)
Buttons force feedback
Contacts on SIM card
This was stated by YardE in his thread, about the CM-Rom I used for the Port. So, also credtis to him and the fellow developer.
I just made it for the fun of it and to show some pics, here you have:

Welcome to the club the community awaits you n to those assisting you.

Thanks alot for your work, any extra ROM is a gain for the Community.
I have one question and according to your profile you are from the same Country(Germany) and have the same Provider(simyo). Does your data connection work ? Does this ROM has also this "funny SIM card issue". The good thing about this ROM we will have the drivers for Gingerbread isn't ?
greets
THE-E

Yeap according to arco68 all the drivers are available....I think
Should not be a problem it is just a question of time n effort plus patience.......Just the beginning..you are one brave soul

Any news of this? CM7 seems like a good choice in the short run.

Dude....any updates ?
o O From My Ancora o O

I hope there is dev who willing to port CM7 to our galaxy W
i know it's out of date
But CM7 itself still cool
still have a lot of customization
and i want to make some wp clone with it

Okay,okay.To sum some things up.
After my try to port a ROM via the kitchen I had downloaded the sources and try to compile a build.
Sadly I cannot spend so much time in playing around with the code and try things out.
So far I overcome some problems while compiling. - crazy story here-
In the End no boot up and I noticed the small system size, which is definitely to tiny for all the libs.
To say so: still a way to go.
Maybe Arco have time to guide a little bit or someone else will supporting me, like KezraPlanes,...

Jelly bean :D / I (almost) broke my phone :'(

If you don't already know jelly bean was released at Google recently. The source code isn't yet available for the public so I have decided to see what I can get working from the SDK (until the source comes out) as a little project.
On an extreme downside I broke 1/3 (the middle) of my phones touch screen by water damage - so... bummer. :'(
EDIT: It's been in dried rice for a good 4 hours now... time to test :/
EDIT2: THE RICE WORKED! - My touchscreen is now back to it's good, working state

Try porting the sdk? Good luck, it will be compiled for armv7 so pretty much impossible. Only porting via source is possible unless you are some hardcore machine code hacker!

I already dumped the system myself. But it refuses to boot. An error system errors out basically. Silly armv7 bins on an armv6 phone don't work so I use ics ones. That causes major errors apparently.

Cyanogenmod 7.3

What's going to be new in cm7.3?
My guess is jellybean animations.
Few more devices.
Raft of new bug fixes.
Anything else?
Or just forget cm7.3 and use evolve jellybean?

There is no cm7.3 but cyanogenmod already announced cm7.x will carry on at a slower rate of development.
Just wondering where it will lead to.

As long as automatic keystroke logs can be read by every application, I personally prefer rather to wait for CM 7.3 than to install CM 7.2
Have a look at this:
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4735
When I stumbled over this, I couldn't believe it

They didnt changed anything in the nightly builds since 9 weeks (18th Nov).... looks like they stop developing and 7.3 only will become a big Bugfix-Release.
edit: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#bravo/cm7/1353824529
I would love CM10 on Desire, but they dont make it
I have VJ's CM10-ROM (Android 4.1.2, V3.0), whichs is really nice (beside a few minor bugs).
My phone is much smoother and faster with CM10.... i really cant understand why they dont bring CM10 for Desire

maybe android 4 is best choice.
maybe cm7.2 is last release for 7.x.
so..

So, a link would be nice... as far as I know they dropped because of the hardware limitation of the Snapdrogen Gen. 1.
But its proven that CM10(.1) works well.

I have to agree with cm for dropping support.
The general hackiness has always kept me away from jb/cm10 I gave up after 2 weeks as games and the system in general are slower.
For example try jetpack joyride in gb then try it in jb/cm10.

Definitely no. Cyanogen team has moved on to 10.2.
If anyone claims CM7.3, it's his work of little tweaks here and there. Not officially supported.

Undervolting/GPU Overclocking MSM7227.

Hey everyone,
I found this recently : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485445&page=8
First post is a CM7 kernel for the ZTE Blade(Same MSM7227/ARMv6,but better screen than our Wildfire S.).
The poster mentions that it supports undervolting and GPU overclocking.......I'm going to give it a try later today,but I don't think it will work due to the large resolution difference.
(P.S. I did see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710850 but it was last updated 2010,and the post I mentioned above was during the last days of Feb 2012).

Cool!!!
Good to hear this...Hope it can work.

Well....
Dude AFAIK Undervolting and Overclocking are Kernal related stuff! So the screen resolution doesn't come into picture at all!!
Anyways.. All the best!!!

I know But I'm not a developer(not ATM, anyway), and the only thing stopping this from running on our devices is the different screen resolution. Just need someone to port this to HVGA screens, and it should work.

[Q] Android KitKat?

Do you think Android KitKat would be compatible with Wildfire? It is designed for lower end devices so would it be possible for a port of that new OS?

Probably not. while it may technically be possible to achieve it is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to do it successfully, or even partially.

I agree that it could be a very good opportunity, im just saying dont get your hopes up i suppose :/ we just about got got 4.1.2 from this dev here . alot of the "main players" have moved on from this device and i dont think we would have the skill to manage this. to start off with we would need a 3.4 kernel i believe, and i dont think they re-introduced support for non gpu devices in 4.3 kitkat so we would need to implement all the hacks that were required to get ics running and port them over to kitkat.
its a nice idea, but to be honest i think the amount of hours it would need to make it function may not actually work towards a stable daily driver
i`m amazed the wildfire got this far to be honest, and im happy i was here for it

Scratch is basically start from the beginning, and it's always better to try making a KitKat ROM for Wildfire, you never know what the outcome could be right?

We are waiting for Android KitKat to be released, we need a device that has a QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels

AFAIK it would run without a 3.4 or even a 3.8 kernel. But the current 2.6 kernel would slow it down. Only very experienced devs can make properly working kernels. And we have almost no 'real' "i build from source" dev left in this forum. (not offensive, i appreciate the work of any dev/porter/whatever here )
4.1 is also running fine with that old arco - kernel but its really slow maybe because of the hardware maybe because of the kernel. I think its a mix of both components.

I tried with @kylon to get a functioning overclock kernel for the htc wildfire bee, (cdma device) and we couldn't manage to get it stable, and that's the buzz's sister phone. It shares almost all the same hardware :/ so I don't think it will be an easy task.

Just my 2p worth but doesn't kitkat and the kernel associated with it look for integrated GPU's which the wildfire simply doesn't have, so if someone was to create a kernel for kitkat you would have to emulate a GPU on the CPU which would slow down the phone to a unusable piece of crap.
Good idea but i doubt it's viable.

Agreed. Ics barely ran without the kernel hacks to make it run. Though it is said that kitkat should be less resource hungry.

While it's possible I have no idea what hacks were done to make it work. We needed kernel hacks for gingerbread.... The only one that would definitely know would be Arco, as he was the kernel developer for the buzz branch of cyanogenmod.
