Root ICS rom coming soon?

[sr17091]

If cm9 or ics is to hard I would personally like to have at least cm7. I would be satisfied with just that

i have tried cm7 and cm9... IMHO, i havent tryed a rom that touches cm9...cm9 would kill on this phone

when i say cm9 i meant a kang version..which is still complied from cm9..just not offical (yet)

I am on irondust #transform-ultra waiting for interdpth to came back alive so I can talk to him about his CM7 Ultra project. I have never done CM7 so I do not know what is involved with getting it running well. We have 2 developers at SDX that are doing CM7 Intercept and I test it for them. I can get them to tell interdpth all they know about CM7 when he comes back from where he is hiding.

Edit: I think maybe it would be easier to just help interdpth w/CM7 Ultra and get it going good first.

 

[DMajor239]

Doubt he's coming back =/

I just talked to Cyanogenmod team about making CM7 Ultra official:

[15:48] <bads3ctor> I'm a bit lazy in reading the cyan wiki and I have a few questions....I have 1 cm9 project and I want to start another...cm7 Samsung Transform Ultra
[15:48] <bads3ctor> I would like to make it official
[15:48] <Kaik541> bads3ctor: then you'll need to checkout the gingerbread branch and submit it upstream with what is and isn't working
[15:49] <bads3ctor> done
[15:49] <bads3ctor> downloaded that is
[15:49] <Kaik541> then submit it to gerrit, point them to repositories to fork and you send your prop blobs to koush
[15:49] <bads3ctor> Ok I will do thx for the help

I have come to the conclusion that this is the way to go. CM9 is not ready yet and once CM7 Ultra goes official, CM9 Ultra will be much easier. Comments are welcome on this. If you disagree, tell me now

Edit: And I have 1 question: What does this community prefer:
A) CM7 rom that is released quickly with broken stuff in it
B) CM7 rom the works as a usable rom but takes longer to get released

lol its your time and efforts bro..i think everyone apreciates another developer on the scene..so whatever route you choose in my opinion should be fine

Agreed!


A then B.... but if I could only choose one then B.

A properly working rom without errors would always be the desirerd goal!

Since you're asking for an opinion I will give one honestly.. id say go with the open source ideology and bring out what you got and share the burden.. I mean obviously if the very basics aren't working it should be noticeably documented not to install for day to day use but sharing the burden is where its at.

true..there are enough willing participants to test it and find problems..as well as soloutions...but either way anything Cyanogenmod and i will be content

 

[Warlord698]

I am also kind of a A then B guy here too, cuz if you have more people testing you can prob also get a bunch of code fix ideas from them as well

though for my phone I would wait for B

 

[bads3ctor]

I have CM7 code synced and interdpth's device files git cloned. Next comes the hard part so do not hold your breath Thx for the comments....I will release a CM7 rom as soon as possible.

As for help, I would like someone with a Sprint phone to help with debugging. Also, I have my Boost Mobile activated but I do not intend to put minutes on. It will not be easy for me to fix data because I do not have 3g data activated.

 

[johnny424]

I for one volunteer to test for you..i dont have a sprint phone..but whatever you need bro ill do my best to help

 

[smith058]

my Boost Mobile activated but I do not intend to put minutes on. It will not be easy for me to fix data because I do not have 3g data activated.

I don't know if it works for boost cdma, but for boost iden you can set your phone up on the 'per minut' plan and add data for 0.35 cents then the next day turn off the data... data will still be usable on your phone as long as it is activated at no cost...
I have this set up on 2 iden phones that I use as gps trackers for my work trucks. I get unlimited data all for only 10 bucks every 3 months, the 10 is only to keep the phone active.

( ps. Why the heck does this keyboard not have the dolor sign symble??? Lame!! )

I know boost has a 2 dollar a day plan which is like you 35 cents a min plan smith. I don't understand how this will help but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in since you made it sound to me like he may only need a couple of mins worth of service.

edit: Wow I feel like a real ass saying that and not being able to offer to pay for that 2 dollar service but I am unemployed and unemployable but if you need my time bro holla at your boy... I have all the time in the world...

 

[smith058]

Sorry for the double post not sure how that happend
Sorry for not being clear...
The 0.35 cents per day to add data to the 'pay by the minute' plan... once you activate the data on iden phones it permenently stays on... so you can deactivate data on your acount but your phone with still beable to use the data... I don't use the phones to make any calls, just to use the free data. I have to add 10 dolors every three months to keep the phone active.... so unlimeted data for 3 months for only 1p bucks is a spectacular deal in my opinion

 

[DMajor239]

I'd never done it before but I would also help out since i am using the sprint version.
@loota I feel you man. Same thing here

 

[bads3ctor]

Which would you like? [full-eng] 72
build/core/product_config.mk:205: *** No matches for product "cyanogen_transformultra". Stop.
Device transformultra not found.

This is the error. I fixed it w/Samsung Intercept like 3 months ago but I forgot how

It's a path or config naming error but I have yet to fix it. Compiling will start after it is fixed. I Googled it but there are no good answers. I fixed this same problem for Intercept by hacking in correct names and paths but I do not have the fix in my notes.

Edit: I'm hacking CM9 Intercept now trying to fix voice so this is why it might take a while to get CM7 ultra started.

Edit2: Going skydiving Saturday....it's safety day. If I go dark, this is why.

Also, I'm testing CM7 Intercept tonight for the SDX team so probably no work on Ultra tonight.

Take /frameworks/base/services/input/InputReader.cpp from CM9 and put it into the same place in ICS. It will probably fix TS. Of course back up the original file

Edit: InputReader - Minus << here it is...with the header file. You can do a diff on this .h file and the 1 in ICS....should be the same. You can also do a diff on this CM9 .cpp file and the 1 in ICS.....it should equal the patch we are talking about.

errored out on the input files..

any ideas? int he meantime im gonna dig around abit

did you do a repo sync? Maybe you have an old version. Did you put the .h in there? Try just using the CM9 patch. I'll look for it.

Edit: Here is 1 of them: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10354

There is at least 1 more. That ^^^ got me partial TS working. I had a double touch bug until I threw in the .cpp Input file and then it fixed the TS.

here are all the cyanogenmod ICS patches: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#q,branch:ics,n,z

I would suggest trying that 1st TS patch and see what happens.

[cjoeone]

I personally would prefer for you to post it here at android forums. Thanks for your dedication.

 

[smith058]

Here please! And anywhere else that would benifit you ... and others.
