Anyone knows when nvidia plans to release drivers so we can have hw acceleration working in ICS.
EDIT: There are binary drivers for Tegra2 and ICS in Acer A200 tablet.

No one knows and as the scene looks like, they never will release it...
We have many hardworking devz out there, I'm sure before Nvidia releases the code or even think to, we would have got jellybean too

I'd understand that they're not releasing the drivers because they rule the scene, but open source guys are running circles around them.
Qualcomm just released drivers for the adreno 2xx series So there is some hope from manufacturers

I think they are doing these coz they Don't want other manufacturers to copy thier drivers or something like that

Guys, ACER Iconia A200 has Tegra2 and ICS, why we cannot reuse those binary drivers for our Tegra2?
THE ROM IS here: http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-a200-roms/3974-rom-ics-4-0-3-ultrabase-rooted-busybox-installed.html
Atrix 4G also has Tegra2, ICS is comming soon..
http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/02/15/update-motorola-ice-cream-sandwich-news/?pubid=987654
I believe Samsung Galaxy R (SGS2 with Tegra2) as well..
But A200 is here, I believe something can be cooked
First of all i'm not 100% sure about i'm about to say, but:
NVidia will probably never publish source codes of their drivers. They never did and they never will. Only phone manufacturer (LG in this case) can ask NVidia to make for them a specific kernel (or HAL?) with all required drivers. As far as i know LG is planning to do it becouse they want to give us official ICS "soon".
And about taking drivers from other devices...
It's quite complicated. In simple words hw video drivers are connected to specific kernel and somehow with other drivers (f.e sound, radio) which are diffrent then in f.e galaxy R. Samewhere on Ricardo Cerqueira's Google+ page was a discussion where someone explained how does it work and why it doesn't, but i can't find it atm.
Sorry about my english

We don't need the source, just the binaries. Driver shouldn't depend on the kernel, afaik.

HAL has to match kernel. Thats why we can't use GB divers and thats why we can't use drivers from other devices with same video hw.

What would be the purpose of Qualcomm releasing user-mode driver binaries for Adreno 2xx GPU on Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich if it wasn't possible to integrate them with AOSP for any Adreno 2xx GPU?

Ok, i have no clue how it works, but still - HAL uses libs that are in kernel (HAL is dynamically linked with them). If other kernel version has diffrent structs, HAL simply won't work with that kernel. I thought that diffrent devices have a bit diffrent hw related libs (maybe some phones like O2X do?) in kernel which is messing up with HAL.
Taking into account Your post, at this point i have no idea why HAL is or is not related to specific device.

Is anybody knows something about leak of android 2.3.4 for LG Optimus 2x ? In web is information that some people is testing new version of android for our device.
I can't believe nobody on this forum doesn't have it ;p
Go to madaco, its there Or in the GR1 topic here.

yeah, but GB in modaco have a lot of bugs.
The newest information about gb 2.3.4 for 2x says that actually version Gingebread is propably final.
check in General forum not in dev forum, you will get more answers..

this piece of news says that this update will be out in 2 or tree weeks... i hope its true.
still 2.6.32.9 kernel according to the picture
so its the same bastardized bullsh** like the G2x ...
well done LG, like selling a Windows 7 themed Windows 95 ~.~
I aint so sure about that. That kernel should contain all the functions GB need. Correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
As long as you stay with the stock rom, it doesn't make any difference at all I think. If you want to create/hack something else it would have been better with a newer kernel version. Nvidia cleaned up and standardized lots of stuff in their 2.6.36 version so it would have made it a lot easier to modify for proper usb/bluetooth/etc support.

Arcee called the G2x Gingerbread bastardized, because it is simply Gingerbread hacked around Froyo drivers and user space. It may run and look like Gingerbread, but lots of benefits which should be introduced with gingerbread will be left out.
Like I said, Its like running Windows 7 with hacked XP drivers.

agree with you, you'll miss a lot like better battery management, more i/o scheduler, maybe new cpu governor except performance/powersave, something like that will be offering with new kernel... offcourse LG can patch this feature to existing feature, i think that will more not cost effective because there maybe some pre requisite that need to be match..
will cyanogenmod and miui profit from the upcoming release?

any news on c version for cm7?
I have a question to devs in connection with the nvidia drivers as we know it will be rolled out soon. So if Nvidia releases them and the needed bits whether we (the CM team and the other devs of O2X community) would be able to build a new kernel like 2.6.36 or even 3.0 or just complete the existing 2.6.32 kernel?
And if we build a new kernel what benefits will come with it?
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
It's not really the kernel that is important, it's driver compatibility with the android layer. Kernel differences between 2.6 and 3 are not that great.
The new drivers would help us to access the hardware better without having to hack so much of the android framework
Hello!
This has been discussed to a large extend in the ICS threat...
Well if nvidia releases drivers compatible for ICS a working build will come fast(er).
And of course hardware support of all the shiny features of Tegra2 will be much easier and more readily available...
Sorry for reposting but I haven't read the ICS topics since they were spammed with requestions of ETAs.
Btw Thanks for the quick explenations!

Hey guys,
I already tested the novaHD and some other ICS CM9 roms for our p990
But i see no Progress, but why.?
Same issues all the time Media Acceleration Video etc. Not working.
I googled and did not find any Information
Why is there no Progress?
No drivers?
Greetings from Germany.
No drivers. Its not the devs fault.

The developers are doing a awesome work with ics. We should be glad that cm9 is working as good as it does despite lack of drivers.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Looks like CM9 support has been dropped: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16278/1/vendorsetup.sh
For how long who knows.
Ahh, then it depends on LG ?
sry that it sounded like i criticized the devs, it was not so meant.
For other devices (working) ics roms are available, because the drivers were released from the Manufacturers?
Thx 4 your answers
It is not entirely LG's fault for this, nvidia hasn't release the proper ICS binaries for this processor if i'm not wrong.
And somehow none of these devices having this processor has released ICS yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra
Read Ricardo Cerqueira google+ post, around the date of ICS Kang release. You will find lot of information and nothing have change.
What about?:
Kernel drivers from nvidia (3.1 linux based)

I Read some Threads --> Google TEGRA 2 ICS or P990 ICS Drivers
And i got one question :
Does nVidia not give the drivers to LG
or is LG not allowed to give us the drivers ?
or nVidia doesnt have any ?
Well, there is no Tegra2 phone with an official ICS ROM at the moment. Make of that what you will.
a500 has ics, and kernel source was released last week.

It is not the same tegra 2. One is Harmony and the other is Ventana.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990 con Tapatalk 2
That doesn't even make sense. Harmony and Ventana are development boards, not chip types.
Phones have an AP20H, tablets have a T20.
I found this link, may be someone can compile for ICS? ??

Those sites and its contenet are well known here in xda ob development section. Btw until Ti will not release the improvments for the multimedia functionality there wont be a stable and daily use ics for our ob! we need to wait cm9 or lg itself in september to update officially to ics.

Because it has the same AP I thought that it could help all devices that are OMAP3630 based, but apparently different devices need all the work that he made done again.
Hi All,
i am not a developer and found this link which is having kernel 3.X.X.X drivers, so i thought they may be ICS drivers for Tegra 2 Ventana board, so can some one who is have knowledge on the Kernel please validate these drivers...
By using these drivers can we have H/W acceleration with ICS/JB...

Well, as far as I know, Android uses slightly modified Linux kernel. Starting from 3.X.X Linus T. started to include Android code into Linux. Anyway, conclusion is that provided code and binaries probably can be used to build fully-functional kernel for ICS, but it would be quite hard task and need a lot of effort. If LG will provide theirs plan to don't upgrade O2X, it looks reasonable to start such project, until that happened it can be waste of time.

So do you think it will be very hard for kernel developers to include these drives in the 3.X.X kernel ...

Obviously, it may need to develop kind of adapters between provided drivers and interfaces required by ICS. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of details regarding interaction between android (dalvik) and kernel, but according to my understanding it is possible.
