Whats stopping us from building from source - LG Optimus Black

I downloaded the CM7 source today to give porting a go spent 4 hours or so writing scripts etc for the p970 thought I could use a bunch of the libs from other phones etc like the galaxy S for the power VR libs and stuff like that...
first just wondering why no one has thought of this before guessing its not doable before i go any further any rom devs given this a go?

it's not so easy
port cm7 to p970 is a huge work
and maybe few mount later ,LG release official 2.3 update,CM7 may release a version for us,i guess

well, it's hard but not imposible.
there is no official gingerbread release for huawei ideos x5 but they have four different custom gingerbread rom(inculding cm7 and miui)
our devices need more developer love

you're right. not only more developers but also users,users give devs power

Yeah i figured it'd be a lot of work i haven't got time atm to do much but hopefully during the next holidays i'll have a better look.

no more CM9 unofficial builds ?

Hi all,
I would like to find a proper CM9 Kang, meaning a build that is as close as possible to the CM9 source, with no or very little additions.
Does such a thing still exist?
Owain's build, excellent though it might be, is no longer a kang. Too many extra's...
Temasek isn't kanging for CM9, unfortunately.
Any propositions?
tia,
Tommmii.
How about the original CM9?
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18090-cyanogenmod9-for-o2x-and-g2x-selfkang3/
not a bad idea, but there are many many improvements submitted to the git since selfkang3 rendering it definitely outdated.

Not so many "extras" that it would be "overkill". So where is the problem?
I guess you could use a KANG from Owain, before he added so many things and changed to an Unofficial build intead, try looking at build 30-35 perhaps?
I´m not familiar with any other kang´s other than the original kang´s.
But, Owain´s Builds aren´t that much different from the original CM9, I would give it a try.
Thanks Myller!
I´m now running owain´s latest build, and there´s not much difference (well there are, stability wise from the selfkang3).

I'll quote the dev, Owain94, himself :
also i think i should change the name this is not really a cm9 kang anymore...
still based in the big parts on cm9 but changed way to much
Anyway, there'll be an official ICS from LG soon, followed by official CM9 nightlies.

Unfortunately I don't see an ICS release from LG coming any time soon... Yes, they told that it would happen in Q2 this year, but they seem to dodge any question from costumers regarding that question.
I sincerely believe that we won't see any release from LG before Q3 2012...
You can use euroskank builds too, there are only some cherry picks

Motorola Triumph >< Huawei X6 n friends

Hello guys
Based on my investigation several time ago,,I was look up some ROM and development for Triumph n X6 from several forums
For now,,development of Moto Triumph stepping far from Huawei X6,,I was looked some new update ROM especially ICS ROM
I want asking to someone who know about development
What different Triumph from X6?just CDMA >< GSM or more??Is Motorola have individual brand build?
Is possible to get flash ROM based from Triumph??
I'm asking because I found Triumph have AOKP ICS developers
Since edowar who develop AOSP ICS gone,,X6 device development for AOSP ICS stuck at alpha5,,
Sorry if I like blaming or flaming developers,,but I just want to know if X6 can use Triumph ROM or not

I don't agree with you. Triumph not stepping far from X6. Both features have the same progress, even triumph camera capturing still not work on ICS while ours already work.
Some devs... Tj and ardX still in progress for AOSP ICS for our device, we also have a step forward for camera. Zuk also available to port it, and I think he will definitely port it to any other rom for this ICS. But be patient, they're working on it. They work to make camera work perfect with video and not interfere with wifi functionality also. After that, here... will be more ICS roms port and mod... Zuk, elol and other porter will get additional spirit to port and may be me also .
X6 can use Triumph rom, but it will not get the signal and may be you can't use touch screen also. Need some touch to port it, but then the features still lack of camera. Camera is a must for me and for some of us. I can't use ICS if camera not work.

whatabout u8800? zuk has some roms from there as well. and u8800 has ICS based on u8860 (huawei honor).
huawei honor's chipset is MSM8255T, mi410 is MSM8255. I've posted the link to the files, but the firmware is only in .app file.. no idea how to extract or turn it into .nb0 to extract the libs and stuff..

The features here meant for hardware related with the kernel. Any port need specific kernel to those device it self, including ours. Ofcourse we can use some library from identic device hardware, but kernel drive them.

so does this mean to get a working ICS rom lets say aurora ICS which is derived from U8860, we need to rebuild our kernel that will function on our devices? because kernels are device specific right?
if that's the case how do people port across different OS ie SE mini pro running eclair with an unofficial GB port? is it because the kernel remains the same?

Correct me if I'm wrong....
Kernel need to build to work on specific device and specific android version, what ever kernel version is, that's so far what I know. Some drivers integrated in kernel, one of them is touch driver which related with touch panel hardware type.
To port rom from another device, we "just" pull the framework of the source rom and push it to the our android version which the framework will work. Of course with some additional "touch" to make it perfect.
To develop a rom from another device, not just port but we have to customize (made change and build from source) our device kernel to work with a destination android version. Also build from source for some libraries and drivers because of related things.
What things should be customize in kernel or libraries... well... I'm not a dev.
Owh I'm sorry mate,,actually I just looking for development team for Motorola,,they have development team focus on ICS build
Sorry if I mistake because I don't know much about this,,our device have many developers to port/make ROM and modified something
But so far I looked,,our device doesn't have development team like Triumph,,sorry if I wrong
I just want to know,how much important development team works/personal developer for ROM build
Cz I think it would be better if our device have development team
Once again mate,sorry if I wrong and asking fool

You're not asking fool... I agree with you if it will be great if we have devs team to work and focus on ICS... but we can't push devs, since they also have their real work in real world . But what we have now are Tj and ardX are still on the path of developing ICS for our device. So for now, they are already a team.

Yes mate,,,absolutly great since I know some device with lower quality than our device got ICS ROM (Before using CSL,I'm Galaxy Ace user and I look at SGA forums,they have Both ICS AOSP&AOKP Build n some ICS ROM Ported)
It's mean if ICS running on our device,absolutly more perfects than the other device
Ardx said,,he still resync repo,,I also asking about this on andro-id forum
Bro Ardx was told me it's repo AOKP
It means he fully rebuild this ICS project,am I right?

Arya (quite Indian Name) ... there is one team, what CK mention already who is working on ICS and that is of TJ and adrX, there is another team for our device, that is of ZUK and Whyzee, they worked together for many GB ROMS . May be after getting custom kernel for ICS from Napstar and after getting ICS ROM from adrX, they can port other ICS ROM too. Even elol may team up with them.
Also we can expect MIUI ICS from CK and FR. for FCKR software they already worked together ...

Yes mate,,,most important is "together",,I just want to know(sorry maybe I really2 fool) how much best dev team / personal dev.
Now I know althought we haven't real dev team,at least we have people who cares with they great works to develop our device,,
Sadly I can't doing anything to develop our device,,because I have many limitation mate,,maybe next time I just can be tester

waiting for the final ICS

i hope all the bugs are fix the develop. i know its to hard to develop..
thnx to many developer...hooray.
Just flash the latest aokp rom its genius and i dont have any issues with it, its working even faster than the stock rom on my double speeded gt-p6200... have fun. By the way, there will never be a final ics on custom roms, there is always an idea to make it better ;-)

There is no such thing as 'bug free' buld that is why we always have new versions(builds) untill the dev team decides to move on to something new. Therefore I would imagine there won't be 'Final' ICS untill Android 5 (Jellybean) available and the dev team decides to move on to Jellybean (assuming many of us still sticking to our G-tab 7 and plenty developers still willing to crack one for us.)
However the latest builds of ICS are very stable and suitable for daily use.

You right, i'm using AOKP for my daily use. 3G,wifi, active sync exchange, dropbox all of them working smoothly only usb tethering not working in milestone #5 but overall great rom...

[Q] Jelly Bean port

Hey, just wondering, is anyone working on a Jelly Bean port for the LG02X?
I know ICS hasn't even been officially released so some drivers are missing,
and they plan on officially releasing the source code in 2 weeks, but what about
that ripped image from the nexus? isn't there anything anyone could do?
Thanks in advance for answers.

It might be possible to port it - but as the source code is coming soon there's no real need for a port which will get replaced by a properly compiled version anyways.
All we have to do is wait until the magic of devs works
for now... im still using latest cm9 that is available here XDD
But we'll have the same problem with HW acceleration as we have with ICS, won't we?
I think there will be a port soon, but we will have the same problems with HW and the other Stuff. But thats Nvidia's and LG`s fault
True, but as for ICS roms, it would be one of the only problems (hopefully).
Lots of people are happy with their ICS roms on the O2X, so I don't think it would bother them to upgrade to JB
I think the developers should keep working on ICS/CM9 , there are still many bugs etc.. So, why should they start working on Jelly Bean when ICS isn't as good as it should or could be (and i'm not talking about HW accelleration, i know that it's not working yet..)
Let's hope that Nvidia and LG will give us the official ICS and the drivers as soon as possible
There should be within the coming months considering the SDK preview is now available.

Still last LG phone I bought..

The last month all P990 users became very happy!
We had the V28 leak and a lot of good devs made it stable even made a zip (Thanks tonyp) so we could easily install it via CWM.
After that we had RC gave us CM10!!!! Ofc we bypassed CM9 but no problem by me, and now every day we have new version with bug fixes!
Thanks RC!! You made our 2x rock again! And our top devs will start producing their own CM10 based roms at the end of the month!!
BUT what has LG done?? It's the 9th of November and still no official ICS or JB... We like playing with our 2x and trying kernels, BB, roms,
scripts and much more. But what of the thousands of 2x owners who won't root their phone?? If ICS was released we all would have stable CM9
and 10 and we wouldn't fight with bugs. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for the progress of the last month but I am very disappointed from LG.
Thanks to all devs who keep our phone alive! :good::good::good:
and you make this thread for .............. ??
let us noob hanging around here FREE PORN
i gotta say.. even with all the work RC has done for us.. and the work of the rest of devs.. this phone is still trash... once i get enough cash im gonna toss it into outer space..

Sent from my Optimus 2X with Paranoid Android. Thanks button is here ↓ !!! Just use it
I think now we have nice and stable ROMS to P990. Official CM10 it's stable and the Nightlies CM 10.1 are now realy good too. You could see the new features in http://10.1.cmxlog.com/?device=p990
