Root ICS/CM9-JB/CM10 Development Thread

Is any one having issues with wifi tethering i have tried with both wifi tether and the native wifi. It just stays on turning on but it never does and once my phone rebooted.
 
"Wifi tether for root users" is working for me, although I had to disable encryption for my Windows 7 PC to connect. It has a MAC address filter so it isn't completely open.
 
The only thing with that is it is ad-hoc only. For some reason infrastructure mode will not work. Only a problem for those that have android tablets that tetheto their phones. Or sum 1 like me that only has their phone for internet. Gotta love the boondocks. Lol.
 
Tethering is a rather advanced function. It may require some kernel changes and some wpa_supplicant tweaking. I haven't gotten it working for thunderc either, but that is at least partially because I don't have service for that phone anymore. One of the thunderc users was working on it a few weeks ago but seems to have moved on.

I will likely able to fix gps, I think, but that's not a big priority for me at the moment. I would much rather see the cameras working. However, since gps functions are mostly in the vendor binary blobs, perhaps one of the other devs here can try to work it out.

I know made it work myself as ad hoc as well at least is something.

Not a problem take your time like I stated before not really a big of an issue
 
Well, I think I've got the buffer issues sorted out. The virtual sensor doesn't have any buffers of its own, it uses the ones from the camera sensor. So that required changing the buffer parameters from MMAP to USERPTR and feeding it the camera buffers. Similarly, the CCDC does not have its own buffers, so that required changing to USERPTR and feeding it alloc'd memory.

Now my problem is that when I send it the STREAMON command, the virtual sensor succeeds but the CCDC fails with EBUSY. That might be difficult to track down. I am guessing that either the setup is incorrect or something else is using it. Hopefully the former, but it's difficult to tell without instrumenting the kernel code.
 
... and in other news ...

I bought both marquee and spectrum off ebay. The spectrum was only 150, so I had to grab it. The marquee says it's mint condition and it was only 81, so it was a good backup. I plan to see if I can get the spectrum working on VM and I'll have the marquee as a backup in case I can't. Not sure if I'll end up reselling one of them, we'll see. But even if I get the spectrum working and sell the new marquee, I still have my old busted marquee to play with.

I'll be out of town all next week, at the beach with the kids. So unfortunately, no camera until at least 9/3.
 
@tdm: Have fun on vacation

That's right. It is something. I got the 3000 mah battery. 24 hers almost constant use cm9 marquee 1200 MHz and just hit 15 % sweet

I believe that it requires editing code of sorts or adb can't remember. Google search it and you shall prevail.
Be careful if you don't know what you are doing you may brick or in other words totatly screw you marquee.
IMO just ignore your soft keys and use the virtual bar.
Check the market I think I seen an app for that. But don't think its for this phone.

If you don't want them to light up, try removing /system/lib/hw/lights.*.so.

If you don't want them to function at all, you would probably need to replace the appropriate /system/usr/keylayout/*.kl file with an empty file. I don't know which one off the top of my head though.
