[Kernel Source]

So I guess Htc/VZ decided to release the source: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec_cc1c2268.tar.bz2

good luck.

I think if we bug htc enough then they will release the source lets get started... http://www.htc.com/www/about_htc_bymail.aspx

We have been down this road before with several other devices...
HTC has ALWAYS released the source code....within a few months or so.
You can email all you want, but your going to get generic responses, and its going to be released anyways.
The phone is only available for pre-order and its not even the 29th yet...so give them sometime.
Cheers!

Will having the kernel source for the Incredible make rooting the device easier because of the potential for "work arounds".
From what Paul is saying over at Modaco, it seems HTC is going out of their way to make the Desire and Incredible "more secure"... which means locking down bootloader, kernel, etc. More of a pain for rooting... agh!

No worries at all man
Glad to see you getting involved...
We blasted HTC before with thousands of emails, and even got News sources involved, but since all that they have always released the source codes within a few months or so.
Cheers!

Droid Eris was released on 11/6/09; kernel source code is still not released.

Re: Kernel Source, lets ask Htc for it.

I should have been more clear. I was referring too 2.1, but since that's not technically released on the eris yet, my whole post is wrong.
Nothing to see here, move along!

LOL...good job catching yourself

My my I think it worked. Congrats!!

Its a marketing strategy because they know people are going to mod it anyway, so this way if people mod it, they are more inclined to stay with the device and HTC.

[FIX]CM7 GPS direction Issue

Hi Guys,
A member of the cyanogenmod posted a fix for the direction issue.
I just wanted to bring it here, so more people can test it.
Original thread:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20584-directioncompass-issues/
Keep an eye on that thread, maybe there will be an update.
EDIT: I think ali ba posted a open source fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123944&postcount=31
People reporting that is working to!

Just note that this just installs the original closed source GPS module, problem with CM7 is that loc_api module calculates the bearing/direction wrong. But only on Legend, so probably the data from GPS is not usable as is.

Couldn't really care less which bit of which ROM it installs as long as it works

Well you'll care once you update your ROM you'll have to apply this "fix" again

Hardly; I won't be updating until it's fixed. Besides, it's one more tiny update to apply, I'm sure I can spare the 20 seconds out of my life.

Thank you for this fix. I'll try it tomorrow

I don't care what it does; it works and that's what matters. I still can't believe they released the final CM7 without GPS working while older nightlies worked fine.

If you can add debug messages to heading/bearing calculation it would maybe help you to get a better idea about whats going on?

Oh, thank you, this is a great idea!
Now, would you care to tell me where to add these debug messages?

Sygic Aura works fine after installing Gps fix but Igo don't play well... I mean, application run but with an heavy delay in updating the video probably because the program it's waiting for GPS update.
Tested with a fresh install of CM7 today.

If you could add debug messages to bearing/heading calculation WE (THE NIGHTLY USERS) could help you with debugging with OUR OWN logs. kthnxbye.

Where was that "bearing/heading calculation" again? I can't seem to find anywhere.
Anyway, if I find it, what "debug messages" do you want me to add?

Sarcastic and synical, I am sure you are a great developer and I am very glad with the roms and your development, but I don't understand why you have to behave like this, feels no good.

Another explanation would be that I'm actually trying to get people out of their demanding attitude towards something that is more in the spirit of open source. I failed, obviously.
CyanogenMod is not some closed source project of a few people trying to get a little bit of fame. We are enthusiasts, we enjoy what we do and most important: We open source every freaking single line of code.
Yet still people run around giving unbelievably ridiculous advice ("add debug messages") de-facto trying to tell me what to do instead of trying to accomplish it themselves.
No, "I don't know how to" doesn't count – I don't either. I've been writing software for quite a few years now – embedded systems, web development, HDL, etc. – and I know very well that it's absolutely exhausting to actually do something instead of telling others what to do. It takes a long time to understand code, it might be frustrating and you sometimes have to stop, do something else and resume a few days later. Same for me as for everyone else. I'm not angry that most people are afraid of that.
What actually makes me want to scream is a patronizing, "kthnxbye"-ing smarty-pants who thinks he had some sort of brain wave telling me to "add debug messages". It's a standard procedure to attach a debugger, add debug output, do whatever gives you insight on what it's doing and why it's wrong.
To get an idea about this specific bug I had to find out when the compass is used and when it takes the heading values, where those values are retrieved, whether there are any conversions going on that shouldn't, whether it's a random issue or something there that triggers it. All by reading through crappy code that was reverse engineered by guessing and hacking together code that was never written for the Legend's hardware and running around outside like an idiot because I still need a real GPS signal to get debug output.

You're going about it in entirely the wrong way, if I may. If it annoys you that much, knock a FAQ together when you've the time, and stop answering posts that rile you up. People get responses to demands, and they don't stop once they get a response.
I'll probably get a nice pile of mad for this bit, but try to understand that the vast majority of people who come here don't understand this "Linux thing" or software development- they have a phone, and they just like it to work. They like cool stuff, and they like not having to pay for it even more. If their post annoys you so much, why not just ignore it instead of getting your rage/apathy/etc on? People don't learn by being told they're dumb, they learn by asking questions. If you don't want to answer them, then don't- it's really that simple
Do bear in mind before you reply that most people here really value the work you guys put into CM. Don't think that my post suggest otherwise, I really am genuinely trying to help the situation here.

The new title translates into:
Atrix HoUsE Of Weekly K-a-n-g-s
(In base64 encoding, was previously hex encoded)
Also, does this mean we can expect a stable release in the next month or two?

Ok changing to last one now ... I am shocked you guys are so good and fast at this , yet we have so many problems (over 300 some pages) with flashing builds if you get this one we give up

Although I support fun puzzles, titles that don't describe the content aren't allowed. You can switch it up t0dbld, just make sure the content is described in the title. Maybe "[CM7] Weekly Builds Discussion | blahblahblahpuzzleblah" or something.

Making the title in Russian then hex encoding that then taking the hex and turning it to binary would have been a decent challenge

anyway its great to see the ammount of work put into CM7 for our device! you guys do amazing work

You guys are great at google... just like me

Hey there,
Just to see if I understood correctly, these weeklies are actually the combination of the weekly nightlies with the stable build from the wizards at the Atrix-Dev-Team? coz in the Mod version it says "CyanogenMod-7-11-07-2011-NIGHTLY-Olympus"...
Anyhow, many thanx for all your contribution for the Atrix community

Fedora?

I read about a Fedora 18 installer for our Touchpads. Does anybody know anything about this? Does it have a newer kernel than we are using for Ubuntu? Sound? I'd try it myself, but I'm out of town for the week without reliable internet (well, I have enough to post forum messages, but not enough to download great big tarballs).

Looks like he started working on it about 3 days ago. You probably could install it using that guide but we should probably wait until this person officially releases it.

"This person" is Rob Clark, the guy who writes Freedreno. He's posted it to his blog here, so I don't know how much more official of a release it could be.

God loves those who write code for fun.

One general rule is to never request things (unless its like a mod for a ROM). Its cuz building such takes time and patching bugs takes even more time. And the dev might not have that much time to do such a thing... plus ubuntu is still in its developer stages...

I don't think so that the forum stops anyone from posting requests.. if everyone was a developer, then we would be having a million ROMs.. as users, we can post ideas.. if the dev team thinks it can be picked up, it is fine.. else it remains an idea...

hey man i was merely saying that we should do something for ubuntu support and by "we" i meant every one of us who can contribute with this and this is only a thread to gather ideas not to request any thing

Useless. Ubuntu hasn't full functionality at the time. You even can't connect WiFi. Wait till its released.
