ok folks im hoping people can test this for me,
just built a new build (my first for the adam) based on the newest official 2.2 build but with some interesting tweaks
NOTE: i am a dev working for NI especially on honeycomb soon, but these roms are my own.
changelog:
New Kernel with NTFS support, android does not mount this by default but you can mount it via adb read only. (kernel has rw support but i couldnt get it to mount a ext drive rw)
Kernel has few other tweaks and changes and doesn seem to die when sleeping either now
performance tweaks (minor ones) made to the os itself
full google apps added (untested )
ability to disable ril/phone features to conserve battery (see below for info)
adhoc wifi courtesy of the update posted on this site previously
disabled some of the logspam that was enabled but isnt needed
boot.img is first stage prepped for honeycomb
install instructions
download the file linked below and copy to either sd or your adams internal memory and flash as normal

RIL Disabling Information
ok this is a creative feature. all adams be them 3g or wifi only versions keep thje phone related applications and services running in the background and on the wifi only adams this causes a higher battery drain due to system constantly trying to connect to a network, i have implemented a way to disable this by setting a simple property in the system
to do this you need to edit the /system/build.prop file and change the mentioned line to 1 instead of 0 then reboot
if that doesn work then try the below route
open a terminal and run the following command then reboot
Code:
setprop persist.ril-off 1

It is probably because there aren't very many Adam users yet.

Yeah I think there are very very few adam owners out in the wild. Might be a decent bump after this next delivery round next week.
And NI has not officially released their kernel source and from my discussions with them I wouldn't expect it real soon. I did however explain to them that it will have to be eventually so I think they might be working on it.

They don't seem so keen on sharing huh? Interesting since they like to use other people's open source code...
Guess I will have to join in and start hounding them about it.

I second that. Am a fervent flasher (the right kind....) and when I get my Adam I will certainly be putting my own 2 cents in to get the most out of it, both OS and UI wise.
I am not alone, so definitely expect a flury of activity by Adam enthousiasts once the next 2 batches are delivered.

You guys are lucky to have djsteve as your new Dev. He's put in a lot of work for the Dell Streak since it first came out and he will probably put in a lot of work for the Adam ink as well.

UPDATE: 10/03/2011:
time for another update
changelog:
reverted vold change as it screws up things
added some more perf tweaks,
added data2ext script from gtab forum on xda, seems to work nicely, can hit quadrant scores of ~3200 now
flash you will need to install yourself at moment, i forgot to readd it link for flash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpos ... stcount=26
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.
---------------
UPDATE: 17/02/2011:
ok have tweaked a bit more and made a few more changes.
changelog:
new vold added with ntfs mount support (see below for some issues known with this)
flash player added and should auto install
fixed market and facebook
fixed superuser ability
added estrongs file manger for root use
tweaked the ril scripts to be easier to use.
added modified nvrm_daemon to increase 2d framerate
Code:
refer to original thread/forum for download links
*note for VOLD, this now mounts ntfs drives read only, but it has slightly screwed up the mounts, if you power up device with no microsd plugged in it will mount the internal storage and allow access to is via usb, if you plug in a microsd or boot with one in it will mount both internal and external sds but share the external over usb, it quite happily detects and mounts my 1tb usb hdd which is ntfs formatted though now.
ril tweaks: now all you need to do is create a empty file on your memory card called riloff.txt then reboot and script should do the rest to reenable rename the file rilon.txt and reboot
enjoy folks and if anyone wants to do another video feel free.

Sorry, I don't understand your question :S
how would i implement a dualboot
You can take the initramfs.cpio.gz posted by letama in another thread (look at the link to Ice Cream Sandwich - the file is inside the archive you download).
Then extract it and have look at the scripts, which are provided there.
Basically you have to get the system to ask you, from which filesystem image you want to boot
yep! you need to install SDE, restart your device, go in the developer menu and flash the initramfs.cpio.gz that letama posted in the ICS post, atleast that's how it was in the Gen8... by the looks of it the SDE menu is the same. Hope I helped
i wait the multi OS install
2.3
4.0
Ubuntu
Nice, I'll give this a go now.
Edit:
Works on the 101G9.
Keyboard Functions through OTG/Host Cable.
USB Mass Storage (Pen Drive) Functions on 3G Stick Port
Not tried anything else yet.
Are you using a lot of the same kernel objects which android is using?
Excellent Work.
alright thanks

Thank you very much, and also thanks for testing
I am using initramfs + kernel + modules provided by letama for his ICS-build.
By the way - I will upload a new build this night.
I have managed to get basic network functionality via adb + usbcable, so I have upgraded all packages and installed a touchscreen keyboard.
In the new build the LCD backlight brightness is now set to max on boot.
I also have added a user with sudo-permissions, so now settings are saved on reboot (not like in 0.1 where guest sessions were created).
Oh, and I will change the filesystem type from ext3 to ext4.
Still no real progress on WiFi or sound
P.S.: New build will support choosing between booting ICS and Ubuntu
//edit: sry guys, got some problems with my internet provider. i get reconnects every 30 seconds. i hope they get it fixed till tomorrow... sorry for delay, i'm going to upload the stuff tomorrow..

Might be worth giving it a go with a version 3 kernel, you may get some free driver support. although I could be talking nonsense

I activated the root login with my own password from adb and the touchscreen keyboard worked straight away on the 101. It must come with the the drivers preinstalled. I think letma's' done some work into the difference between the 80 and 101.

I've been playing with this all night. I think the drivers have been integrated in the main linux kernel so you should be able to build your own.
They could some prebuilt binaries out there as the OMAP4 board seems quite a popular board.
Also you might have some joy with this http://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/integration/
It's all Good!
Archos 101 G9, HTC Sensation, HTC Hero
Hi Guys,
A1Pha, sorry, didn't have time to test your build, too much stuff going on...
Here is a quick feedback on wifi that may help you:
In android, here is how it works (from memory, don't have my laptop to check)
1) you need to create a nvs file corresponding to tablet, check android init.rc for the way it's done there...
2) Then when you do need wifi, insmod the tiwlan.ko
3) Then, load firmware (check wlan_loader in android init.rc, you should be able to reuse the command) and nvs. If all goes well up to here, you should be able to do ifconfig tiwlan0 and it should have a mac address.
4) Then start wpa_supplicant. You need the appropriate version of wpa_supplicant, 0.8 I think in android source code. You may want to build source code from android source with the appropriate options to remove android extensions.
Again, this is from memory, I'll try to give you more details tomorrow.
Regarding audio, this is mostly alsa so it shouldn't be impossible, you should be able to re-use the configuration found in archos rootfs in /usr/ sub directories. You have to insmod the proper modules though.
Best,
LeTama
Suggestion for the sound, try running the alsamixer and playing with that... worked in debian...

ahh. Thanks for that letama , You're a fountain of knowledge.
I'll give it a try during the holidays.
I was playing about with wpa_supplicant and android kernel drivers. I didn't have the right magic ) and my kernel knowledge is still in it's early stages (only been on the linux desktop for 1 year).

CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Incredible :: V7.1.0 (9 Oct 2011)
Credits/Thanks
All credit goes to Cyanogen and the rest of the CM team, and especially our HTC Incredible maintainers, as listed by the CyanogenMod site: jistone (aka CUViper/This Guy), slayher, and of course, koush, as well as the authors of the respective open commits.
Why a new the thread? The build bot has retired (as far as CM7 nightlys are concerned), and the current thread at [ROM] CM7.2 Nightlies for the Droid Incredible was designed with the official nightlys in mind. It has since deviated from that original aim, and to keep it from going off topic any further, I have created this thread.
For some reason, I have received several requests to put a donation link in my profile. You can always donate to the CyanogenMod project, but if you feel you HAVE to donate to me, I've put a link in my profile, and all donations will go towards upgrading my computer, so I can stay on top of this for CM9.
Changelog
In case you missed it the first time.
Known Issues/Bugs
Per slayher: "Sometimes things are going to break, sometimes features are going to be removed, then added, then removed, then added back."
Just because it works in one build, doesn't mean it's going to work in the next.
TV-Out doesn't work on CM7 or any AOSP ROM
720P video recording
Theme Chooser causing WL widgets to disappear
FAQ
Q: What's the ETA on....about how long till...when can I expect....?
A: The only rule of CyanogenMod: You don't ask for ETAs.
Q: Now that the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK has dropped, we're getting a port, right?!
A: Take a look at this PSA by Keyan Mobil
Q: What's this CM7.2, Android 2.3.7 business?
A: The kangs are built towards CM7.2, which is Android 2.3.7.
Q: How do I install a CM7.2 kang, coming from non-CM7?
A: The safest (definitely not the only, but my preferred) way is
Download kang from link
Reboot into recovery.
Make a backup/nandroid (to be safe)
Format system and boot under mounts
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Install zip from SDCard
Flash kang.
Flash Gapps (if this is your first time flashing a kang/CM7
Reboot
Enjoy
If any of you have data that you must absolutely save, then and only then should you use Titanium backup (or other backup apps) to restore your data. Please be sure not to restore any data to /system using these apps, as this will mostly likely corrupt your ROM.
Q: How do I update/flash these kangs?
A: The safest (definitely not the only, but my personal) way is
Download kang from link
Reboot into recovery.
Make a backup/nandroid (to be safe)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Install zip from SDCard
Flash kang.
Reboot
Enjoy
Q: How about that 720P? I hear it's handy.
A: Per slayher, "720P recording will not be coming to CM7 at this time. We *MAY* see it later if we get an HTC GB leak, using an MSM device (aka not omap). But for now, if you HAVE to have 720P recording, stick with CM6. The issue is that GB uses stagefright, and the hack it took to get 720p in CM6 wont work with stagefright. (it was done in opencore.) This is why we cant get it. The current driver implementation we have to work with is just not capable. So there you go, you can stop wondering/asking/hoping."
Q: How about CWM3/5? I'm having a problem where....
A: Try deleting the current recovery first.
Q: How do I fix the space error that pops up when I try to install some apps?
A: Per slayher, "If you get a Space error trying to install apps, just try installing again. I have encountered this error also and it is not related to actual free space, (unless you have a cubic crap ton (crapton * crapton * crapton) of apps installed)."
Q: How do I disable the shutter sound?
A: Per mattyg151, "I used root explorer to rename /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to camera_click!.ogg ... no more camera shutter sound."
There is also an option at Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod setting > Sound > Mute camera shutter
Q: How do I increase the WiFi scan time to save battery life?
A: Per karnovaran, "One way to reduce battery drain is to increase the WiFi scan interval. It's set to 45 seconds, meaning it will scan every 45 seconds. If you change it to something like 90, obviously it will scan less often and use less battery. To do this, you have to edit the build.prop file in /system. The easiest way is with Root Explorer. Go to /system, mount r/w, open the build.prop in text editor and locate "wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=45" Change that value to 90 or whatever you want. Save the file, mount back to r/o, and reboot."
Q: Those automatic brightness settings are confusing. Anyone know of a good setting/rough guide?
A: This thread looks useful. So does this post
Q: How does that brightness slider thingey-majib work?
A: Per byrong "For those of you trying to figure out the new brightness-adjust-via-statusbar feature, do the following:
1. Settings > CM Settings > Interface > Status Bar Tweaks > StatusBar brightness (I'm guessing you guys already figured this part out)
2. Here's the trick: place your finger on the status bar, but don't drag it down. It will still 'peek' out some, but now you'll want to slowly drag your finger to the left or right while keeping it on the status bar itself. If you drag left, the screen will get darker; right for bright."
Q: I can't send no fancy mms picture messages!
A: Change you APN settings manually, (a popular way is to use GoSMS).
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
Any more I should add? Let me know.
Sweetness. Thanks, Pons!
Clean and organized.
Redid the changelog that I use to keep track of the open commits. Linked it to a public viewable google document so I only have to maintain one across different sites.
Let me just say it was painful copying and pasting the thread from Rootz to here. Even after I tidied it up for xda's forum, it still looks terrible to me, especially compared to Rootz. XDA needs to switch forum software.
Thanks for putting these together! Been wanting to go back to something AOSP; this is a great way to get into it.
You're the man! Thanks so much for setting this up and maintaining for us. Your kangs are dope! Just wanted to say thanks man!
Thanks man.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Great idea devoted thread for the kangs. Honestly I did not know you were doing that and I was using #258 still. Who knows what small differences I'll never notice I am missing. Time to flash.
I had to upgrade to a nexus but now I can unleash my Dinc from Verizon and "phone" duties.
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but what are Commits, and what is the difference between merged commits and open commits?
I've been running one of the kangs for a few days now and I love it. I was just curious because I see the survey at the top of the page and a couple links about commits, but I don't know what they are and after just a quick search I haven't found anything.

CyanogenMod goes through a review process, where anyone can submit code. The code submitted is called a commit. If it passes scrutiny and works, it gets merged into the official CM repository. This approved commit is called a merged commit. All official nightlys (and RC's and stables when they get to that point) only have merged commits.
An open commit is a change to the code that is currently being reviewed and hasn't been approved to be included in the next CM...yet, or ever for that matter. Some open commits get merged eventually (either as they are, or after they've been updated a time or fifteen), other open commits get abandoned. Some users like the additional functionality of these open commits, at the potential cost of stability.
I've started releasing kangs two at a time. One completely stock with only merged commits (just like the official CM7 build bot would have done, may it rest in peace), and the next kang with the same amount of merged commits, plus some interesting looking open ones (most have been requested by users, other merely look like they won't make your phone explode).
And don't hesitate to ask questions, at least after a quick google search.
Pons do you know why we don't have TV out yet? We have kernel source now I thought.

Thank you so much for the response. It makes a lot more sense to me now. I might take a look at what some of those open commits do and test them out, I have not problem having to restore or flash a newer stabler one if needed.

Thanks, Pons. These KANGs brought me back to CM7 after like 9 months on MIUI builds. Just got tired of the instability and random problems with the new MIUI builds. These CM7 kangs are awesome. Great work!
Kitchen theming not sticking
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I haven't been on CM7 in a while, and hadn't tried using UOT for anything on it before.
I set up a new battery style and applied the zip. It themed over fine after booting up, but eventually it reverted to the stock CM7 battery after an hour or so.
Anyone have any suggestions on getting a new battery style to stick? Thanks.

You can another way but it may be a little more complicated? Not onto recovery, mount system, then adb pull the systemui.apk, decompile it with apk manager, swap out the png's for the battery with those from the SystemUI.apk, recompile the SystemUI.apk, then pull the png's from the recompiled apk with 7Zip and drop them into the original SystemUI.apk, and adb push it back to the phone.
EDIT: And although I haven't tried this next method, it may work? You could boot into recovery, mount the system, adb pull the SystemUI.apk, explore it with 7Zip, and simply drop the battery png's from the uot (which you are exploring the same way) into the folder the battery png's are located in within the SystemUI.apk and it will overwrite them (provided the files are named the same. They NEED to be named exactly the same). the adb push that systemUI.apk back to the phone. No decompiling or Recompiling done...
So yeah, not sure if that will work do to compression and stuff..

Vote for The CM maintainer for the OG Incredible Josh Stone aka CUViper.
http://rootzwiki.com/user/25563-cuviper/
He's been great to us and the incredible community; let's try and return the favor.
New kang is up. Check the changelog, and/or download location.
I tried the latest build of CM7 done by the Atrix Dev Team and it is awesome. Very reliable, fully functional, etc. I figured I'd give a whirl to compiling the real ICS version to see what that was like.
CM9 build system with the appropriate Atrix Dev Team repos in place actually spit out a working ROM. There are a number of issues aside from the general preview state of CM9. I figured I would share them in case anyone else was as curious as me. Apparently, the internal atrix dev teams are well beyond these issues already, so kudos.
Probably related to CM/atrix specific stuff
- Camera and finger print sensor don't work
- Launcher crashes pretty often
- Some openGL demos don't seem to work right (or at all)
- No mounting the SD as USB storage
Probably related to the specific gapps package I used.
- Maps crashes after 3 seconds (signal 11 - native code crash)
- Maps wants to update, but it can't (sharedId conflict if you actually remove maps)
- Earth won't run (missing the earthmobile library)
- Google Voice Search bombs (signal 4 - illegal instruction - currently suspecting the native packages might have some NEON instructions that the atrix cpu doesnt support)
- Calendar will not sync for google or exchange. App loads, but the sync service is failing
- Lots of null pointer exceptions for the NFC stuff in the log.
Anyway, this is just a build of the code that's out there, nothing special done by me. It might be useful for a dev phone or something but not for use on a real day-to-day device. Obviously it doesn't have the google apps embedded in it.

Personally, I had trouble going back to CM7 afterwards, my clockwordmod backups were screwed up (bad boot.img? cross-linked files on the SD card) and I had a very hard time getting back to the good ole working state. Ultimately, I had to restore the partial backup and then reflash the CM7 image + gapps.
So, if you were curious what building a random repo on the web and installing it on your phone would do, then feel free to try and lose all of your data. There are no updates/support for this, etc. It's just a curiosity... what is the state of this stuff right now?
BTW... I am back on CM7/Atrix now which is AWESOME!!!!

Not sure how the dev team would react to this ..we do not want any bricked phones because of this ..there maybe some experimental dangerous code in there in those sources as of now ..not sure though
Hmm... figured since I spent quite awhile getting a build set up, it might be worth sharing. I am happy to take down if it is inappropriate.
Well I am not the best person to answer that ...but yeah thanks for your work.
Eh, I wouldn't be mad about it, but I think it needs more caution. I would just wait. As you say, it kindof screwed with a lot and wasn't very usable, so why flash it? Maybe ok for someone who wants to look at the code, but I wouldn't flash it.
Awesome news man. Thanks for being a lab rat and giving us an update.

Not so much take it down as change the title of the post.
the current internal atrix-dev-team cm9 is way further ahead of this, we have some different patches. this is missleqading as it makes it sound official and is not.
Could you please change the tittle to [KANG] CM9 Test Build by "your name"
and please link to the sources, as is proper practice for open source projects
thank you

It's nice to see that! Thanks for your hard work.
I'm looking forward to the CM9
Thank you for this.

Anyways, Just out of curiosity... where can you find the official Atrix Dev team's CM9?
The one been worked on by turl is with him, that is not for public release.
Dont forget to tell him merry xmas!
I always forget what kang means.

I tried the latest build of CM7 done by the Atrix Dev Team and it is awesome. Very reliable, fully functional, etc. I figured I'd give a whirl to compiling the real ICS version to see what that was like.
CM9 build system with the appropriate Atrix Dev Team repos in place actually spit out a working ROM. There are a number of issues aside from the general preview state of CM9. I figured I would share them in case anyone else was as curious as me. Apparently, the internal atrix dev teams are well beyond these issues already, so kudos.
Probably related to CM/atrix specific stuff
- Camera and finger print sensor don't work
- Launcher crashes pretty often
- Some openGL demos don't seem to work right (or at all)
- No mounting the SD as USB storage

Thinks for your works,
Come from Chinese thinks!
i shall say this.. if this is behind where the dev team actually is...things are looking good! and btw.. i believe fruitcaker maker works. installed and is now creating;]
edit: yep. it does.
Thanks man very very good work android congratulations for share work whith comunity

it looks very nice but id needs a bit more work to be a experimental daily driver.
ps: to solve the corrupt backup problem just copy the files to your computer before flashing and copy to your phone before restoring.
good luck!
where can I get google apps for this rom? Tryed gapps for CM7 from CM wiki - fail, setup wizard crashes.
try the one on this link

For a preview build it looks pretty nice. Surprisingly stable for what it is. Definitely keeping an eye on this, especially since the code is out there to make DIY kangs with.

Random SamCripp memory....
"We're rapping them, we're rapping them!!!"
Sorry, guess you had to be there.... aahhh memories... nevermind, sorry for the off topic post.
Thanks though for the effort of getting this ported btw.
Ok, I´m working on CM7.2 for our device, almost all works perfect except few things. I do some research, but I don´t come to any working solution. So I want to discuss with you, maybe you´ll help or give me some advice.
Sd card or internal storage isn´t mounted correctly (one of them), if I get to work one, another stops and vice versa.
In system/etc/vold.fstab
http://pastebin.com/mqAfxeEZ
In system/build.prop
http://pastebin.com/2pFt6Kmu
SD/internal (one of them) isn´t shows in filemanager. What is strange is that I find the non working one in folders! Okay, for example SD card shows properly and I find another storage in folder Root/ss (example for folders understand Root/mnt/sdcard)
If nothing better, is there a way how I can mount folder "ss" as storage or sd card?
I appreciate any help, thank you.
This rom has non working camera also (and I also found some strange things), after I solve major problems I´ll release it. I successfully ported Some Miui GB on it, but I would like to solve problems on CM7.2 and then I can work on port. Because this problems remain in port as well.
In safestrap sdcard shows in the same folder "ss"
Maybe you've already looked into it, but what about searching into Hashcode's CM7 build? for what i can remember, sd was working, but i could be wrong...anyway Hash himself could throw some advice
Sorry but i didn't have the technical knowledge to actually help you with code, but i am working on getting it
All Hashcode links on his builds are dead =(, as far as I know this is based on Hashcode and DrWowe work. I tried mount it as it is on original 2.3.4 for our device, but thats non working, there is some different mount technique or I missing some point.
Thank you for reply, I didn´t have much experience yet too. I hope so Hash could help me, or anyone whos interested.
i find it sad, that we don´t have any working cm7 for now or Miui, because I love this one.
That's why I started working on it, even though I do not have much knowledge needed.

Awww, right! i forgot that, i was able to find a build some time ago, but it was just the rom, not source code, i can find it, or re-upload (if i have it) if it's useful!
EDIT: found it on XDA right now
There you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23905801
Thank you very much, I must go to work now, but I look at it later and we´ll see what I can do =).
edit: Problems is still same on Hascodes build.

Well, as of now, i am using eclipse rom, and in the vold.fstab the line are those:
Code:
# external sd card
dev_mount sdcard-ext /mnt/sdcard-ext:none:lun1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0
# internal eMMC
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 25 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc1
They look different, maybe you could try something like this then in the build.prop the lines should change too, if i guessed right, with something like:
Code:
# Mount the internal SD card, too
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard-ext
# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard-ext
ro.vold.switchablepair=/mnt/sdcard,/mnt/sdcard-ext
Just look into your build, when you can, or i'll try with Hash's build when it's possible
It doesn´t work that way. I have already tried something similiar, this one mount blank folder, mine mount internal(or sd), but always only one of them. (I tried setting from steel droid for example) As I can see, some roms has different mount setting. Cm7 maybe has some original one, which I cannot deal with.
I get half working camera, yes! =D But not for very long...
Yeah, anyway i wrote BS on the build.prop part, the first line is wrong,

LOL, throw the mounting question away, i just miss a new build with functioning camera!
EDIT: Anyway...are you using Safestrap 3.05 for tests? i think it doesn't work at all with CM7 builds...i flashed a plain cm7.2 build in every slot and it gave me a black screen...hmmmm....
For the people who dont need this, the non mounted storage is still accessible throught filemanager, usb on pc mount it succesfull too. I see that camera is working on ICS builds, some of them, so I hope its not that hard to fix it on GB rom, maybe I´m wrong. I just need to test third party camera apps and see if one of them works. Maybe I need to merge some files from hashcodes cm7, but now I must really go =D.
edit: Yea mine edited builds are working with safestrap 3.05, thats main point =).
AWWWW YEA
I was searching some new GB goodness these days! waiting for the public build!
On hashcodes cm7 3rd party cameras worked
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
Okay, I have got one camera app working, but its paid app, and not working in full resolution, Camera Illusion, but paid app isnt working...free version worked, maybe its because lower resolution...
i have 2 builds here:
- CM4D3-nightly-20111116-1445
- cm-7-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-solana
i can upload, if you need.
I modified both and it work with SS3.05 Its pretty stable, but suffers from non working camera and internal storage isnt mounted right (but it works anyway)

DONE!
For reference my gits for CM7 are still around. Tho, I'm sure they are very outdated compared to 7.3 sources:
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_device_motorola_solana/tree/gingerbread
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_vendor_motorola_solana/tree/gingerbread
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_vendor_cyanogen (added the solana device)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_frameworks_base/tree/gingerbread (with some omap4 patches)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_system_core/tree/gingerbread (with the motorola device/permission patches in init)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_omap3 (motorola / ti patches)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_omx (motorola / ti patches)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_syslink (motorola / ti patches)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_wpan/tree/gingerbread (ti patches)
https://github.com/Hashcode/android_packages_apps_Phone/tree/gingerbread (global modes + dual modem patches for null crashes)
and a full manifest (CM7.0.x IIRC):
https://github.com/Hashcode/cm4D3/tree/gingerbread
The biggest hurdles I ran into, still centered around ducati sources for syslink 2.0 (codecs/camera).
In ways there is more for ICS/JB than there ever was for GB.
To do the camera correctly, you'd need to add more Motorola GB source to omx and dynamically link against their libs from the device used in the camera (libarc**).

By 7.3, are you referring to post 7.2 nightlies, culminating at current cm7-20130301?

Is this still in the works/gonna happen? Because that would be great.
I just downloaded cm-7-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-solana and am going to test.
