The State of ICS on the Triumph:
I think this is fitting, so that everyone here doesn't have to go through the entire thread to see where we are at.
As of 1/9/2012; we do not have a working build.
Right now, we have a build that boots (edowar over at XDA has come up with a build that will boot on our phone, but the touchscreen doesn't work. This is a kernel issue that we are hoping will get sorted out in the meantime by some of our guys here.) Our builds (from Issac's source) do not boot (again, due to a kernel issue. This one is a little more serious. Thus, we are working with the ROM from edowar. However, I suspect that once a kernel comes out, our builds will work as well.
A note regarding Issac:
As of late, Issac has left us, however, he left us with enough to work with. Issac, on behalf of all of us, thank you for what you have done for the Triumph Community.

Yes you can do it.
This guide is for CM7, not CM9.

I think you just need to change what repository you sync with to try ICS. I haven't tried it yet, but when talking with someone else they ran into an issue and decided to wait a bit. I think Isaac will be updating that guide, or maybe writing a new one, for the ICS build at some point.
Really, it is not yet in a reliable state. So there isn't any use in releasing it, and to then be flooded with post about issues happening with it.

I think the biggest change would be changing this to the ICS repository.
Code:
repo init -u [URL="git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git"]git://github.com/ikarosdev/android.git[/URL] -b gingerbreadrvarn1

Well, you are of course right, it isn't reliable... but for me, I love trying something new, even if it doesn't work all they way correctly. Besides, when I get tired of running a buggy ROM with no internet connection, I can restore ye olden nandroidian backup; meanwhile, I am thankfu for others that are helpful

Code:
repo init -u [URL="git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git"]git://github.com/ikarosdev/android.git[/URL] -b gingerbreadI figured that had to have been changed. I just.... want to make sure Issac is cool with this. I know he has no problem sharing what awesome work he has done, I just don't want to do it without his permission.

If it is on his repo, it is publicly available for anyone. I am sure he has stated that anyone that wants to can pull it and mess with it themselves. That is kind of the point with open source. I don't think he wanted to write a walk-through for it just yet though.

No I dont even think he has pushed all his changes to the git hub like cm7.
I believe your gonna have to take all the little things like frameworks_base and the proprietary files merge them together into the ICS source.

You are correct sir. He has not put anything up for CM9.

Isaac - 2 things: 1, can you send me a PM on here with your paypal? I know you just said no more donations, but I need to make one.
Also, any chance I can get a PRE_Alpha copy to make a video just so people can see your progress?
Also, as for your phone, you will have no issue getting a replacement...they are very good about it (had to replace both mine and my wife's phone).
If anyone out there can send me a link to making the build from his github, I'll do that...I just don't know how and am super busy until possibly after the holidays.

He has plenty of CM9/ICS stuff on his github. You can pull/build from that.
http://androidforums.com/triumph-al...ild-cyanogenmod7-source-development-area.html
That is for CM7/GB, but you can pretty much follow those directions and just pull the sources for CM9/ICS instead.
I believe you should be able to change this:
Code:
repo init -u [URL="git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git"]git://github.com/ikarosdev/android.git[/URL] -b gingerbread
Code:
repo init -u [URL="git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git"]git://github.com/ikarosdev/android.git[/URL] -b icslifeblows10

I am using the CM7 guide to make CM9, only changing the last part of the repo command to ics. It seems to be working.

Have you actually got it to build yet? He has prolly cherry picked so many different things I doubt that you would be able to pull them all together like he has. Your best bet is to wait untill he has finished with all his cherry picks and has merged them and uploaded them to github. otherwise your gonna start building and run into errors that he has already solved.
I will try to sync everything tonight and see if I come up with a build but if I do or you do I would advise not to give it out or send any .zips, There is a reason Isaac hasn't done this yet. Also give him full credit (although you prolly already were planning on it).

I am pretty sure all his stuff is on guthub (including merges/forks) and that you would be able to build from it as is. I am sure there are errors and the sort, but I think Isaac makes sure all his stuff is readily available.
You can see what he has here:
https://github.com/ikarosdev
You can see exactly what has been done to all of it on the right hand side.
In the READ ME under the triumph specific stuff it says this:
This is probably a good idea. Feel free to assist others in learning to do this themselves, but at this point releasing a zip will probably end up in a lot more questions or bug reports when that is not needed at this point. Like you said, there is a reason he has not done this yet, when it is in a fairly usable state (like the early releases of CM7 for the phone with many things not working) it will get released for people to check out.
i am also syncing... (and share the same AMAZING INTERNET SPEEDS!) but, you may not here much from me as i have other projects im working on with mobstergunz
TO EVERYONE:
please pay attention to the rules listed by konspiracy... especially the "posting builds" one. as it would be disrespectful to do so.

I agree. As much as I want to post a build, I won't. I know full well what would happen. (People would bug him, and Issac would quit.)

I used my post to put the OP to the 2nd slot.... that should help a little bit.
Thank goodness Comcast has such a high cap... otherwise I'd be screwed.

Just tryin' to use the ol' noodle.
SO, back to the discussion at hand. How long is this supposed to take? I mean, sure, I would expect it to take a hour or so, but this is taking FOREVER. And now it seems as if it has stopped?
Code:
From git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_prebuilt
* [new branch] gingerbread -> github/gingerbread
* [new branch] gingerbread-release -> github/gingerbread-release
* [new branch] ics -> github/ics
* [new tag] cm-7.1.0 -> cm-7.1.0agentc13

It can take a few hours, depending on your DL speeds. If I remember correctly, you are pretty close to being done with the repo sync.Just tryin' to use the ol' noodle.

For some reason it feels like ICS is smaller than gingerbread because im already at 72% after an hour or two. I dont think he has pushed all the changes, unless my Internet isn't as clogged as normal. I guess people dont watch netflix on Tuesdays
EDIT: im at about 900mb so far for ICS.
