I've noticed some bugs on test 98 so i provided g60madman with a new test 99 that fixes those bugs and fixes the carrier to say Virgin Mobile im sure he'll post something soon :)


.............i had 99 test and a froyo ain't one :cool:
 
I gotta say, I don't usually post to state my excited-ness about a ROM, but this warrants it. I'm a "as close to stock as possible, with a few tweaks here and there" kinda guy. Hell, I'm even using the stock GB launcher for CM7.

In anycase, I'm just glad to see this effort revived. Good luck, and even if nothing more comes out of this, thank you. And that's to all the Devs of this great community. Thanks for the time and effort you put in, for no compensation. It's been said many times before and I don't want to ramble on anymore than I already have, just felt like it was time for me to say it personally.
 
It's from our rebranded cousin, the Ideos X6. g60madman I PM'ed you bacck; but I wanted to share the info incase some other dev wanted to help with this ROM.
You have to update the build.prop correctly, and move certain telephoney files needed for CDMA RIL plus the files needed by the triumph for RIL. The problem is finding out the right combination of files. The thing is that if you have the right combination, but have one extra telephoney file that is not needed RIL may still work; but if you put in a extra telephoney file that the ROM doesn't like then its gonna complain about it ( The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again ).
This is the correct line for RIL
ro.telephony.default_network=4
but if you don't have the right CDMA telephoney files then you will get that process close error. So to stop it & be able to make calls(but no 3G), change/add this line to build.prop
ro.telephony.default_network=0
Now you won't get that process close error anymore, but as soon as you have the right combination of telephoney files and you still have that line set as '0' process close error will come up; but when you change it back to '4' with the right combination of telephoney files you will get RIL.
Though the thing is, MIUI & CM is different from Stock ROMs since their AOSP and the files have "differences" in them. So there's a high chance that the ROM will still complains 'The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again' even though you have the right combination of telephoney files.

These are the main files(and their smaller versions(the ones with $)) that will have to be added to the ROM
/telephony/RIL.smali,
/telephony/RILConstant.smali,
/telephony/ServiceStateTracker.smali,
/telephony/BaseCommands.smali,
/telephony/dataconnection.smali,
/telephony/dataconnectiontracker.smali,
/telephony/cdma/cmdadataconnection(tracker).smali,
/telephony/cdma/cdmaservicestatetracker.smali,
/telephony/cdma/CDMASMSDispatcher.smali,

I was going to make my own GB ROM but I don't have enough time to look through a bunch of telephoney files. I think I fixed SMS though, but I need static to test it.

Make sure you have these lines in the build.prop.
ro.telephony.ril_nid=97
ro.telephony.ril_prl=1115
ro.telephony.ril_class=Triumph
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=4
ro.telephony.default_network=4
 
Thanks for sharing this with the community! I was going to post it, but been really busy this weekend. I will try and spend some time on this next week as it looks like it's going to take a lot more trial and error before we get a fixed version!
 
(G60 ROM Related but possibly useful for this as well) I know this forum is not here to diagnose app issues but I was wondering if anyone here happens to play Words with Friends and Scramble with Friends. I have found something with Scramble with Friends which seems to prevent the two from running nicely together. If I run one of the games and press the home screen, and start running the other it will cause the phone to start hanging really bad. The dirty workaround is to hold the back button and kill each app after I make a move. However, this is disappointing because I don't get push notifications after someone else goes.

If anyone happens to play both of these games do you have the same experience? I have been running the g60 ROMs for a while and I have experienced this in every version (even with clean wipes) and various "With Friends" updates. I know someone who runs both games on their Optimus V and has no problems switching between the two so I imagine it isn't a lack of power or ram. Additionally, the reviews for both games don't report any such issues so I don't want to bother the developer if it happens to be ROM related.

P.S. I am looking forward to moving to this ROM once madman hopefully gets 3g working :D. Keep up the good work guys!!
 
Released first fixes. Right now SMS is working, carrier may switch back and forth from T-Mobile to Virgin Mobile. 3G and MMS still are not working but we are getting closer. I will post some documentation on what I did to share with other dev's along with the code. Also looks like time is not updating properly as it's pulling in the wrong data network.

At the risk of being moronically stupid, I will ask what help would the CDMA Workshop would be in this case?
 
ive been all up and down gingerbread with cm7.

need HDMI working more than anything else.

is hdmi broken in this rom? if it is, why does it exist... hdmi is the only thing really missing from gingerbread on the triumph and if this doesnt provide, it should be killed

Like Mobster said HDMI is working. I believe that is the reason that he switched to this ROM from CM7 (as he was having too much trouble getting HDMI to work there).

Even though that is mostly irrelevant (since HDMI does work), please remember the developers decide what they want to spend their time on. So regardless of what anyone (you, me, or someone else) thinks they pick and choose their projects. Even if everyone were to think the project worthless (which definitely isn't the case here) they are free to do as they like.
