ICS Drivers for Tegra 2... - LG Optimus 2x

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.

Leak of 2.3.4 Gingerbread

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?

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..

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

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.

CM9 till month same issues?

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.

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.

Read Ricardo Cerqueira google+ post, around the date of ICS Kang release. You will find lot of information and nothing have change.

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.

OC Engine For LG Optimus 2x For 2.6.39.x Kernel
*It's written for 1.2Ghz but it's easy to ramp up to 1.4/1.5 by observing codes.

[Dev][Experimantal][Kernel][ION] nAa-ION Kernel

This is Strictly Development i u know something plz share if don't then be slient
What is ION .?
Noob way :- It makes things awsome -by lauppenstepperwolf
there is awsome explaination on LX git Wiki
LX said:
#### What is Shared Memory?
Memory is usually private; an app takes a chunk and nothing else can access it.
Sometimes, it makes sense to share memory between processes; for example, an app writes to the screen buffer, while the gfx driver reads that same buffer to put it on the screen. You need a special memory system for that.
####PMEM vs. ION
Back with Gingerbread, every ARM chip maker (Qualcomm, TI, nVidia, Samsung, more?) had their own way of doing shared memory. The Qualcomm way was a system called **PMEM**.
Problem: when a vendor sells a chip to Sony and Samsung, he needs to write two drivers, one for each shared memory system.
To reduce maintenance efforts, Google introduced **ION**, a unified shared memory system, that all vendors use since ICS
Problem: from ICS forward, Qualcomm only provides graphics drivers for ION. PMEM is obsolete.
For a while, stuff still worked, but it is getting worse for us - see the Google Maps app for example.
####Move to ION
An option is to rework the kernel, replace the PMEM system with ION, and replace the old PMEM drivers with newer ION drivers. A common problem on several old devices is, that the camera chip is non-standard, and Sony (Samsung, HTC) never wrote ION drivers for the old cameras. Moving to ION then means you lose the camera completely.
A new solution is to move the kernel to ION, but have a PMEM system on top of ION so that the old camera libs can connect to it. As far as I know, this was pioneered by the Dev_Connection team that maintains the Samsung S+ i9001 (great team, hats off to Christopher83 especially).
Another implementation of an ION/PMEM hybrid was made by galaxyfreak for the HTC Explorer (Pico).
The i9001 and the Pico have similar hardware to our 2011 Xperias (2011, MSM, 512MB RAM, similar specs).
Feedback for the ION builds is very positive. Performance is good and it solves some graphics problems like the Google Maps flickering, and it solves the slow browser.
####ION on LegacyXperia
It would be the next big step after the 3.x kernel, but, it's a lot of work.
On the i9001, 8 devs work on 1 device, while on our side, 1 dev works on 8 devices.
The i9001 approach was to migrate 10.1 to ION, then 10.2, then 11; instead of directly doing 11-ION.

Can you read? It's not even official. It could be also for CM11 since he mentioned browser lag, which is an existing bug in CM11.
To OP, I should be able to check the coding and whatnot. Only problem is I'm currently in the army and unable to access my computer on weekdays.

@n1kolaa i guess you can start work on this if you have time.. I have seen you working.. Seems a real genius can you?

I should also be able to check the code as I'm proficient in C++. Let me know where I can help out, it's a good initiative.
ION and PMEM should'nt be device specific, no ? Isn't the work done on i9001 reusable here ?
First it could be interesting to locate all patches applied on the kernel to implement the hybrid memory allocation.
Edit :
I suppose the kernel in question is this one :

Well, that's still fine.. Mini you have for testing.. Give it a try, you never know what you can end up with, probably a working kernel with ion support.. :thumbup:

I think I can develop based on this. Is the ION kernel actually booting and working preperly etc. ?

Thanks for your work! I love KK rom and im wait ion kernel :thumbup:

To many 4.4 roms are coming out....in my opinion all kitkat devs should focus on just 2 roms and this really good kernel.
At least with 2 different 4.4 roms there is still competiton for improvement without scattering work to much.
A nicely developed kitkat will save out Arc from retirement.
Btw i was wondering, since HDMI sources for kitkat are not available, would it be possible to create-compile a MHL compatibility for our arc? so we can use MHL accessory instead of HDMI? Or a virtual machine on kitkat running the stock ICS HDMI feature?
I'm no dev so i have no idea how hard it could be.....just asking out of curiosity, many use hdmi on arc for movies or android desktop with OTG mouse and keyboard. Its really a pity we cannot make it work on 4.4 yet.

A better Kitkat .. lets summerize current kernel situation
1. nAa 3.4 full of hacks
2. using drivers and stuffs from 3.0.x
3. Stuck on Abandoned PMEM {with every increasing android version we are using patches more than before to maintain PMEM causing soo many graphic lags
4. msm_fb code /* lets not focus on it currently */
why this mess /* to bring 3.4 kernel faster */
i m trying on 3.0.x-nAa kernel cause it is Pure CAF and also mike is working on Pure CAF 3.4.x MHL enablin gis such a lot and lot of work we are not in fully stable stage to look at MHL and other workaround first..
our device is a 3 year old piece of hardware without camera and HDMI libs using outdated kernel and drivers what should be the main goal
1. To make kernel updated with current sources
2. then make things working
3. then wprkaround for all abandoned hardware(like HDMI)
hope u know why we are focus on kernels and roms know ... and to come at point of compeion in roms
there is no compeition we are not selling our products .. we are working cause we like it and more roms means more respect for developers who are working tirelessly on maintaining those roms @Marchinho6 please no these kinds of post ..!these will spam thread
