Root [DEV] WIP CM9 (Camera) [updated 2/23/2013]

All of you guys at MTDEV make me feel as though I didn't waste 240$ (bought the Triumph on Amazon during a sale). You're all awesome in incomprehensible ways. The Triumph has one of the best dev communities hands down!!!!!!!!!! You guys really do deserve all of the praise you get. Thank you for all of your hard work and for re-inventing the Triumph!!!!!!!
 
I've been following this thread as well as many other threads for the longest time; I had the triumph since the day it came out (feels like forever ago). I finally decided to sign up for the forums so I could say thank you, I've been jumping between roms and I think I'm going to stick with the new and improved cm9 this time around... We as the triumph community could never have grown as much as we have without the help of great developers like mantera, g60 and the rest, so a big thank you to all of you guys :) I'd love to do work like you guys one day, but I have no experience whatsoever..

On a side note, I'm having a few small issues with the rom... I formatted my SD card, but I still hear a skip in the music playback every time I turn off the screen. Is there a reason for this (like a file on the SD which could cause this, idk)? Also as far as I can tell my GPS doesn't lock at all, so I haven't got to see how quickly it's said to lock :( could my triumph's GPS radio be busted?

Thanks again!
 
Hey g60 what ramdisk are you using? I mean I guess the issue probably ain't in the ramdisk but just thought I'd ask.

I am using the following script to build the Kernel

https://github.com/MTDEV-KERNEL/MTDEV-BUILD-KERNEL

The way the script works is you place boot.img in the root and extracts it with the rc permissions, builds the kernel and the repackages the zImage with the ram disk. I am using the boot.img from my most recent build when I run the script.

Yes the screen pop happens from time to time. I noticed it started happening more after I installed more apps. I find it still locks with in under a minute outside, I have not tested locks inside. If you are worried on your radio install the Sharp ROM and test the GPS if it doesn't work then call VM.
 
Thats amazing news about the camera, and the whole conspiracy you have with the .14 and.7 kernel really bring alot of hope to reaching the goal, goodluck :)

Hey G60, how's the kernel work coming along....just itchy for an update is all!!

All work and no play make g60 a dull boy. Got to watch my Cowboys beat the Giants again :-) I'll be working tonight on some code, also been researching how to build MIUI from source code. Well as close to source as MIUI offers.
 
Hey jjohn, nowhere in my post did I ask for an ETA or when it would be done. I was just asking how things were coming along. I realize that he has other things to besides this. I am very sorry G60 if I came accross as being pushy, that was not my intention.
 
so glad for G60 and everyone involved for getting me my moneys worth. Especially since I imagine there are some serious moments when u go.FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

I worked on the camera a little yesterday using dorreygaray's hacks but no dice on the camerahal loading. I am rolling back to using Tom Giordano camerahal since he has the same camera as us and I have gotten the camerahal to load using his source. I believe the key is our kernel is not using the 3G VMSPLIT. Almost every kernel I look at that has successfully had the camerahal work in CM9 is using the 3GVMSPLIT. So honestly I think I have resolved the camera in the past just didn't have enough memory from the kernel to run the camera. Give me some time, I am sure I will make some headway soon. May just get lucky and solve this before Christmas!

Cool beans, and you get to feeling better! I had to chug some Theraflu this morning so that I feel good enough to work my extra shift tonight. Ailments suck.
 
So you have the updated built from source kernel booting on built from source cm9...and without having to make an unstable frankensteiny patched out version...sayin cheese already...camera is only steps away...i can taste it...bravo G60!
 
So is the stock froyo kernel setup with 3g vmsplit? And are all the cm7,cm9,cm10 kernels using 2gsplit?

And I suppose if the 2.6.32 kernel can get our camera working that will be just fine lol!!
 
Also if cm7 kernel uses 2g split maybe using 3g might help with cm7 as well!

EDIT: just checked and I'm pretty sure the stick kernel uses a 2g/2g split. But maybe allocating more memory to userspace can help our our Tom's. I don't know just throwing that out there!
