I have been monitoring this thread for quite some time now and all I have to say is wow. Great work. If you need any help please pm me, I am a somewhat experienced user with the LG Ally and would be glad to send you logs or whatever you need. Keep up the good work.

OMFG. IN YO FACES LG. haha good work man. I wire ya some money but im piss poor broke :/
 
Hot damn! That is impressive as hell. Good stuff. If this gets to the point of usablity for people, I hope everyone donates for all of the work he has put in to these phones. I see a lot of people saying they'd donate but they're broke, but just about everyone can cough up 2 or 3 bucks for the guy's efforts.

EDIT: I didn't just mean the post above... sorry, not calling people out, just seems like everytime something is accomplished, everyone posts "thanks but I'm broke" messages.
 
Any issues so far with 2.2 userland on the 2.1-gen kernel? Or are you backporting all the features 2.2 needs?

I thought they still were going to keep their promise, it was just not very important and they were focused on other, newer phones.

And thanks Justin :) we all appreciate your donation.

Edit:
Also, drellisdee, I know it is extremely buggy, but do you notice any differences in performance? Snappier response, faster animations, etc. compared to 2.1?

Well you tell me. I want this to be a community effort not the lone effort of a sole developer as it will be done quicker/better that way. I added a donation link in my signature as several people have asked.

This is a sneak peak at froyo. I am aware of what works and what doesn't. This is far from daily usable but is built from 100% open source

Working:
Touch screen
Cellular Radio
sensors (still has bug where it doesn't rotate back right away after open close keyboard)
Jit
adb
Calls, data, sms

Needs work:
Wifi (wpa_supplicant issue) wont scan AP.
Key mapping (touch search, back home ,menu on front dont work yet) Alt keys on kb are off too.

Not working:
Camera/Camcorder
Bluetooth
Sdcard you can mount with ( mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard) and its verified under mount but android will not detect it.
Havent gotten to mms yet

I'll upload my correct device_vendor I made soon so others can get to work debugging this.

Temporarily removed as I left stock recovery binary in system/bin and its installed depending on your old rom if recoveryfromboot.p or install-recovery.sh are there and removes custom recovery.

If you are using sd-ext apps2sd with mmcblk0p2 take out sd card or you will have boot loops.

Its illegal to include google apps in an asop build so download froyo rom and then flash gapps after if you want them.

Ok I released this to help with debugging. Any posts stating something doesn't work without a logcat will be deleted by a mod. Debugging Post Format:

1. Expected action and what you did ie. turned wifi on via settings:

2. This happened and I was able to replicate this more than once:

3. A pastebin.com logcat output while you are trying it. You can do logcat with

Code: 
adb shell
 
logcat

4. Solution to fix issue if you figure it out.

will i still have the android market, and be able to flash back to velocity if i need to

Yes make a nandroid of velocity 1st. Market is included in the gapps zip. I can't test that it works as wifi isn't working yet and I was donated a dev ally that has a bad esn and can't activate to test the cellular data for market.
 
ok im going to flash now, and will let u know my first findings... cant say how impressed i am. expect a donation soon. jus gotta wait for a paycheck lol
