Does the om have enough space for ics? its 189 mb's or the rom im running on my razr. i dont know if ita phone specific as the size goes but thats way bigger than bobz 75mb gb rom.

Might be looking forward to android 5.0 Jelly Bean, there working on a lite version for phones with limited internal space.

Actually, my GB Roms are about 55mb...
I have been able to slim down my ics rom to about 75mb. You while defiantly need to use some version of a2sd with ics, there is very little space left after rom & gapps are installed.

SD card is not readable by ics for our phone, I tried opening music app and nothing could be read, same with gallery

Sorry bobz i havent been current on the om for a few months, been tinkering with this moto razr, great phone btw.

i was just wondering how ics will run on the om, its buggy for any phone that ive read about let alone a phone that half ever made was buggy to start with.
idk if the om will be stable with the 4.0.

im looking forward to more of your work, but until then im content.

Actually, the ICS kernel built for the OM seems to fix the buggy reboot issue. I've ran two different ICS alpha ROM's, and they didn't reboot or force close once. It also ran pretty smooth. Once the touch screen is up and working nice, it might be pretty slick..
 
im going to transfer files from cm7 for my lg optimus c to get this working if this is a port form another phone i might need those files. im going to set up shop tonight on this making a nandroid so i can build this on my phone im starting to understand how android works

do i need a different kernal if i install it on the c im going to edit the build.prop from M to C. basically i dont want mismatch software running
 
yea it installed on my optimus c just fine i will do a system dump for users who dont want to go to the hassle of transfering files right now its booting hopefully its building cache and not on a boot loop
 
as for not having enough room on the phone for apps, I highly recommend Link2SD

for best result, we need to have ext2.so, ext3.so or ext4 modules installed.

You shouldn't need to change anything and it should boot fine.. The drivers and hardware are almost identical. The only thing we need to is edit the touchscreen drivers in the kernel to get this into a pre-beta.

ok what folder are the drivers located this rom doesnt have a firmware folder let alone other folders i added them manually he11 i have 7 different version of this. when i do manual port file transfer it doesnt want to boot. when im porting files from bobz cm7 rom to this rom

I think they're located in several places. I think wi-fi and network is in /system/bin. If you replace the whole folder, though, it probably won't boot. You have to find out which ones are the right ones. It's kinda a trial and error thing. Also, I think some drivers have to be updated, or they won't work on ICS. (or was it just the touch screen driver?) But just switching certain files won't get the touch screen to work. You'll need to decompile the boot.img and edit the touchscreen drivers in the kernel (I think it was the touchscreen driver) xD But if you can get this working, then good luck. Because I've tried before.
 
I just found this. I wonder if this would work. I haven't even read the whole thing, but hopefully this would get us on the right track? We could maybe use the Optimus V's touchscreen driver? they have their source on github.
 
nice info the thing i needed that because the rom wont boot once ive edited the folders i keep thinking these files are gingerbread ice cream sandwich wont pick them up. but i was reading scripts and it said something about backwards combatibitity but that's a whole nother deal LOL

Yeah, I don't think certain drivers will work on ICS..
 
right now im going to edit system/usr/idc and see if that works. aside from that i have to edit the build.prop to get service with cricket and the ril files

try switching out the idc files with the idc files from the LG Optimus V's working ICS. I would, but I don't have my Optimus M right now. :D
 
i mean there doing more developing with lg optimus v than the c or but seeing how identical the phones we can pull files besides i think theres a ics rom for v i might download that and use it to port files

Thats what I just said. xD Oh, and I just checked, and the Optimus V doesn't have one, but the Optimus S does.
 
okay we will get this working once i do ill post a system dump. ight i had account. all the optimus's have a thunder c motherboard just to throw that out there lol

where the heck are the optimus v touchscreen files
Click to expand...

For our phones, I think its in the boot.img only because:
1)I have ported optimus v ROMS to the Optimus m
2)I have found out if you replace ONLY the boot.img from an OM rom into the flashable zip of an OV rom, it fixes touch screen....

So to answer your question:
touchscreen files are somewhere in the boot.img

gingerbread/froyo boot.img files do not work with ICS, it must be rewritten for ICS....hence we only have one boot.img written for ICS for the OM and the touchscreen is not calibrated correctly :(
who wrote it? probably tripdoc and he was working on rewriting it, but now he's busy and is unable to finish :(
 
yeah i downlaoded the lg optimus s ics rom and i took the files and from system/etc/usr and put them into this rom for lg optimus m and it wont boot i think it might be the signing tool i have i barley touched any files now it wont boot dont worry bout me i got nandroids
