Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM9 build 20130120 [BETA]

Alright, I am back. I have a boss computer now, and I hope like hell G60 didn't leave. I have had so much going on, moving my gma to a new house, getting laid off my job, ect. SO with all this free time and a new computer, who wants to teach me how to build on this bad puppy?

As well, I am not quite sure where the new build is. I am on 20121231. hah. Could someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction for updates? Thank you all!:smokingsomb:

Where do you need me to start?
Start with my builder helper thread.
 
I'd just like to say I'm available for alpha/beta tests of ROMs. Dropped my triumph today and my warranty is out so I ordered an HTC EVO V 4G. The screen is cracked in the bottom and completely unresponsive(Including soft keys) however I can completely control my phone using android-sdk+androidscreencast.

Glad to help any way I can!

Alright, downloading Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit now. I have used ubuntu before, and are quite familiar with it (haven't used it in a while so I may be rusty lol) but just want to post my specs on here, see if I qualify.

Amd A6-5400K APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.60 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7540D - 4042 Total graphics memory
8.00 GB RAM
64-Bit Windows 8

It doesn't take much of a machine to build things... you'll be fine. But, it's going to take a while, I'm guessing well over an hour.

People like lots of memory and processors so they can build a bunch of stuff in parallel. For C++, one ballpark is about 1GB ram per compilation process. Again, that is just to speed things up, you could build this stuff on a 500MHz P3 but it's going to take all night.

Yeah, what he said.
Although, the P3 isn't 64 bit and you would be restricted to FroYo. I had a machine that was similar and it took about 3 hours to compile CM7 before g60 streamlined it. I would guess about 4 for CM9 on that rig.
 
I honestly wouldn't care if dsmryder or bsydz used my PC to remotely build Roms, because I have school during the day anyways. I have an i5 3570k, which I'm guessing would be a good CPU for building. Just pm me if you guys would be interested, but I know you'd rather have me building them myself. :)

Time is my issue too. My build rig has 8 cores to work with at 2.6GHz. I think it's plenty fast. Whether I'm making a ROM or transcoding videos. With my daughter on spring break and my son on the way I don't know what time I'll have to work on these projects. I do have a few plans to work on, and I do want to explore programming as another career idea, but...

Does anyone else have proximity sensor issues? Bleh damn annoying when I have to sit and wait an extra 4to5 seconds after phone call in order for screen to come back on... where are those sensors anyway? Maybe I'll cut out the screen protector over it or them...

Huh... so no one has the proximity sensor issue on 3-20 build then?

Did not realize the 64 bit restriction, that is good to know!
 
Seeing as how many are having issues with the proximity sensor, is there any way to disable it? For the record I am still running CM7 20121015 (sorry, but too many stability issues the last time I tried CM9) and I've poked around the settings a bit but can't find anywhere to disable it. If I have to do something during a call, more often than not the screen does not come back on when I take the phone away from my ear, and it also does not like to come back on right away after a call is finished. I don't remember if I had similar problems on CM9.

Under Call settings there is an option "Always use proximity". It's not checked on my phone, but I don't have an issue with the sensor.

I believe earlier CM7 builds had issues with proximity. Try the 12-28 build, that is the last one I was using before moving to CM9, and it was working for me.

I did see that option and it is unchecked on my phone as well. From the description it sounds as if it is an option to force the proximity sensor to stay on at all times, whereas I would love to be able to disable it entirely.

I've considered updating to one of the newer builds but I've been putting it off. Just lazy, I guess :p

Anyway... Thanks for the comments, guys. As always, thanks for the hard work you're all putting in. It's appreciated very much :):):)
 
Hey dsmryder, I have tried to install Ubuntu 64 bit on a separate HDD and my external USB HDD and neither of them would boot...I can't figure out why. When I boot, I have to MANUALLY point to my primary HDD which has my Windows 8 on it. The windows bootloader comes up and I pick Ubuntu. It reboots, then just refuses to boot and bootloops until I pull out either of the HDD's then it'll boot right into Win 8. If I try to just boot from ubuntu, it'll bootloop. The farthest I can go is just a command shell. I have an HP Pavilion....and quite frankly I never had a harder time messing with the bios just to get the damn thing to boot from CD. I'm pretty fed up and I'm about to just see if I can use ZorinOS instead of ubuntu. Would that work?
