Wait so what is Whyzor talking about then... Is that the kernel source?

He was talking for other MT type devices.

Is that the kernel source code? He was talking about getting the kernel source from another device to use on the MT since we don't have it? Right Whyzor?

Both links are not new. The source code for Android was released and in CM9, the source code for the MT kernel is also what our current builds are using. It's actually not the source code for the .39 version of their shipping phones.
I was talking about keeping an eye out for the kernel source code for the new Huawei device that runs ICS, which will not work on the MT straight out, but may help us port a newer kernel for ICS on the MT.
Triumph WX435 / Home / Home Triumph source EDIT: while I was typing this, several people beat me to it. funny
The Huawei Honor got a ICS rom, it has a MSM8255 and Adreno 205 gpu, specs very similar to Triumph. I'm sure the source code would help but they removed the download from the site.
Here is an XDA forum post about a custom rom being built from the ICS beta that huawei released, with a download link.
hope this helps someone as well.
[ROM] u8800pro&u8800-ICS-beta:base on u8860-4.0-demo - xda-developers
double edit:
found some more stuff.
the Droid Incredible 2 has the same MSM8655 we have, and here is a ICS rom from it.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9984-rom-ice-cream-sandwich-incredible-2-403-christmas-edition/
Also, heres an Alpha ICS rom I found for the HTC Thunderbolt, which uses the same SoC
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/htc-thunderbolt-gets-ice-cream-sandwich-rom-download-install/
I know these arent source, but the Droid incredible 2 rom looks to have the most stuff functional. I wonder if someone asked the dev of that rom for his source some of that could help our phone?
im not a dev, but i watch this thread and only post if I have something useful to share. hope these help!!
i may sound extreamly dumb here.... but could we take a lil bit from each rom and put it into one to make everything work?

UPDATE: So I was sick today from work but not to sick to work on ICS 
. As of right now I have both ICS and CM9 building. The ICS has been running for about 2 1/2 hours with no major errors and I just started CM9 on the other system. I think I resolved my audio issue so will see if the builds actually build

Oh... OK that was confusing me lol... So we want a 3.0 kernel source then?

Yea from the looks of it ICS is going to be awesome and speed improvements. I hope we can get it running as well as running with the 3.0 kernel which will help as well
. If we could get hardware acceleration and the radio (and maybe wifi) working I would use it as my daily! But that seems to be a ways a way :/.

Hey guys,
First of all I would like to say thanks to all of you who have dedicated your time to getting this ICS project to where it is today. Ive been following this thread on and off for a while now, and now that I have some free time I would love to get involved. I am a computer engineering student, and I have a strong background in Java, C, and C++, as well as a decent understand of Linux. I would love to get involved in any way that I can.
Tonight I am going to follow the guide for building cm7, and once I get all of that working I'll attempt to move over here and catch up to you guys, and hopefully be able to help this project move along faster.
If anyone has any suggestions or anything to help me catch up to where you are currently at, please PM me as I would love to be contributing ASAP!
Thanks in advance guys

I'm not terribly familiar with the whole build process... but it appears that it's trying to build a recovery image of some sort to shove in /recovery. However, we don't have a /recovery and you haven't defined one in the fstab. So... it's erroring out. Can you tell it to not build any recovery image?

Not 100% on that one, I am checking into it to see what I can find.

I would love to do that but it's failing.

Seconded... I also put CM9 on my Touchpad and I was blown away at how much better it was than GB Alpha 3.5... it's a true tablet experience...

I would suggest inserting Mantera's working kernel for ICS since we know that works with ICS. It can be found in this post earlier. Extract the zImage from the boot.img and put it in as: /device/motorola/triumph/kernel.
As for the building recovery failure. Try cloning the gingerbread device branch and compare differences (using 'diff') to find if there's a config or flag that isn't set correctly.

I will take a look at it tonight, as of this AM I have CM9 building again. It failed on my VM last night as it ran out of ram.

I get stuck at 99 percent when fetching projects from github.
Nvm. I fixed that but got this:

does this even matter? i seem to have all of the files.

What tree did you download?

the Gingerbread tree, I'm just trying to compile cm7 to make sure I have everything set up correctly.
also when I
cd ~/android/system/device/motorola/triumph
to pull proprietary files, there is no such directory. Should mkdir it or is it supposed to exist allready?
NEVERMIND ALL OF THAT
lol idk what was up but i ran the repo sync again a few times and i got it to sync 100% no weird errors.
Sorry for my ignorance guys, I know your much further ahead with this than the questions I'm asking, but this is my first time working with android dev. Just want to get everything set up so I can start helping!
