ice cream sandwich roll out

hey saw this and figured it was intresting maybe some one can get there hands on this and port it over to ds7
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/11/1...sandwich-source-will-be-released-november-17/

It will be ported, don't worry.

Keep in mind that 3.2 -> 4.0 adds relatively little, it's huge news for 2.3 -> 4.0 as all the goodies in hc will finally be ported over to phones now.
Very little of the new stuff in 4.0 will apply to the s7 since a lot of it is hardware dependant (or simply not as relevent like the data useage tracker for wifi s7s)
Yea who wouldnt want ICS if given the chance? but realistically I wouldnt expect it to add much to the s7, also the ICS source is uploaded/uploading now to google's source right now.

I heard ICS is considerably faster. Is this not correct? HC (stock) seems to move like a pig for me. I would love to speed it up.

Personally I'm most interested in ICS not for the Hardware goodies, but because it is the version most developers are likely to target going forward. Even though we have powerful chips in our phones, I'd be concerned that a lot of apps we SHOULD be able to run would be listed as unable to install if we don't get some version of ICS on the Streak.

There's not going to be any apps that REQUIRE 4.0.x any time soon, they'll merely have features that can take advantage of it.
Back during the first half of 2011 there's very few apps that required 2.3/3.0 as their population was very low. Now there's a small amount of apps that require it and many that can take advantage of it but dont require it.
I'd imagine 4.0 would be the same, many apps that are 3.x capable are about what you'd expect from a 4.0 app and by summer there will be many apps that will have new 4.0 features. But just as much very few will outright require 4.0 to work.
Goog's been working on this for a while now anyway, they have compability libs available so you can use some of the new features on old devices anyway. One example are the fragments api that can run on 2.2 devices even though it's part of 3.0

I would assume that an ICS port would require a developer, and The Manii is our only go-to guy and he doesn't even own a DS7, if I recall correctly. I don't think an ICS port is coming very soon. Most of the developers we had have moved on to newer devices.

Currently we are working on developing a 2.6.39 kernel for the Dell Streak 7 because ICS seems to want that or greater version to work properly. DJ_Steve has made quite a bit of progress with it and he just isn't ready to release any build yet to anyone. Heck, I help him out a lot and I don't get to see it.
What we REALLY need is a kernel developer since I am horrible with programming and he says he isn't the greatest on that part either.

Have built custom Linux kernels before (Ubuntu and others). I presume there are similarities. If you can point me to a decent guide to doing an Android kernel in general, I'd be happy to take a crack at it. I presume I want to start over at the AOSP site?

Really its just a ARM build of the linux kernel. This is where I am currently stuck at

I would love to have you look at some code problems we are having.

Is the code snippet you posted there from the common.c module or from the header defining the module. The error is claiming that your definition is incomplete, which could be you, or could be a mismatch by NVidia.
You might find this posting helpful as well:

I will see if I can't spend some time tonight getting a tool chain setup. I haven't done this for a while, but I suspect I can still "make menuconfig" with the best of them.

Well I commeted that line out and got it down to really one error
Code:

A couple things. First off, on a read over of this again, I notice that there is no } after the #ENDIF. Is there one in the original file? If not, then it would be trying to define the next method internal to this one, which likely would be a problem.
Also, not sure what the latest repo is you hit for the kernel, but found this link in my archive from late August, which could cause a similar issue if it wasn't part of your include:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1108.2/00006.html
FWIW...

https://github.com/EnJens/android-tegra-nv-2.6.39
https://github.com/EnJens/android-t...-tegra-nv-2.6.39/arch/arm/mach-tegra/common.c
This is the kernel we are using. Rayman actually did it for the Notion Ink.
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1108.2/00006.html ......didn't fix anything.

FWIW, I would still be sure to include the errno.h (not erron as was erroneously mentioned in that email) just to be safe.
Getting a look at the rest of the code of common.c is a big help
Error message is trying to tell us that there is something "funny" about the definition of the struct "common_clk_init_table" which is supposed to be of type "tegra_clk_init_table". My first question is whether that's really what is meant here, or should these be the other way around (IOW tegra_clk_init_table is the definition and "common_clk_init_table" is the type)? In which case just changing the order in the line is your solution:
static __initdata struct common_clk_init_table tegra_clk_init_table[] = {
Also, I would be hesitant to have a structure that uses numeric values for the third element on each row suddenly having a macro "ULONG_MAX" - which if it was undefined would cause an error also. Would it be possible to just define this to "600000000" which matches the largest number used anywhere else in this struct?
I will see if I can't get a little further on this myself tonight, but feel free to drop me an email, or post again on here if you get further and have questions.
Thanks for giving me something interesting to do!

You wanna help with the kernel? You actually seem to know what you are doing and I can ask, lol. Its just a matter of DM @DMonsterProd on Twitter.

Ubuntu touch

Anyone working on Ubuntu touch for the atrix hd
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

Honestly i dont think so,
Eyes are aim to Lollipop as priority

I am going to be working on it just for fun. Just started this morning I'll let you know how it goes.
---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------
And as far as the lollipop thing, that's why you buy a Nexus. As soon as the next distro is out it updates, you buy Galaxies and LG's and HTC to mess with. And did you guys read the article on CNet about the new Ubuntu phones being two gens behind the current gen instead of us getting the Edge like they showed on the damn kickstarter pace that I lost $700 on and now it's going to be a Korean made glorified Go Phone that is onnnnnly going to be sold in Europe initially? http://www.cnet.com/pictures/first-ubuntu-phones-revealed-pictures/6/ look at that! And only a dual core A7 with a gig of RAM. I feel like Keeping my nexus just as it is, maybe theme it a bit, but I'm going to start working on Ubuntu for some of the higher end devices they send me. So I thought I would start with the Atrix HD because I never use it, and the specs are similar to the phone they are putting out and see what I come up with. Don't get me wrong I'll still work on Android but I think Ubuntu needs our help a little bit more right now.

Am I the Only One Who is Upset?

I had posted earlier about no Remix 3.0 for the Mini. Am I missing something here the Mini is only a matter of maybe a few months old and they have stopped supporting it already? This seems to me like a very poor way of doing business. Could you imagine if Microsoft announced that they where going to stop supporting Windows 10 after only six months? I tried to warn them about Allwinner during the Kickstarter everything I have tried from them has been junk plan and simple. Allwinner also has terrible support. But I expected more from Jide. I also have inquired with Jide if they intend to offer a discount on the new Rockchip Mini for the Kickstarter supporters where they have pulled support after it just being released. I like Remix OS but I am now skeptical about purchasing anything more from them after this.

You are not the only one. I paid $50 for a box that is inferior(besides the flash quality) to a $36 box that is apparently supported by them, and now I see on top of the box being inferior, support will be dropped for it too.
Pretty stupid.
Also the idea that you have to hardware mod to get root? No.

I understand frustration. But I use my Remix Mini every day (I Heart Radio, Tune In Radio) and occasionally Kodi, Netflix, various TV network apps, etc. Does all I ask of it and more. For less than $50. Would it be nice to have Marshmallow, or 4k video, of faster processor? Sure, but none seem to improve what I use it for.

I see it okay for what I use it for even though after a couple of hours of use it gets REALLY hot and SLOW, to the point where I have to restart my Mini.
I would hope that updates would help it just run smoother so the lack of support sucks and causes me to look at other alternatives. Lesson learned on a 50$ experiment.

yeah but that lesson learned netted them over 1.5 Million and now they are just dropping it and expecting people to by a new model when the old one is only 8 months, never mind that they falsely advertised the 4K and can't even reproduce the digital audio AC3 out without glitches...

I thought of that but there is not much I can do at this point. I have been thinking of just installing the RemixOS to a i5 NUC of some sort.

....2 the original poster: "+1 right here with ya! ...i'm a kickstarter supporter and however i use my Mini on the daily in the living room.. I use the tablet a couple times a week for small tablet-tasks. When i found out the loss of support---- i was a bit peeved but i still enjoy what i have of theirs and i'm still going to end up purchasing the new one and probably still enjoy the O.G. Mini... OR... i may just hack it to pieces with a new OS."

Unfortunately I have 3 of the Mini's and while keeping one may be okay I definately don't need the other 2 but I could not in good conscious sell the others to to somebody unless they new the remix before hand...
To anybody interested in the other 2 I would sell them for $20$us each plus exact shipping. Barely even used except to make sure that all 3 worked when I got them and give them their recent updates. For $30US each I will throw in one of those mini keyboards with the Touch mouse and backlite for each one

@thirdlobe
no point at the mo (no audio over HDMI) jide won't fix it coz its not their problem . so you might have to wait for MM release of remix to see if that's been fixed .

Hey wastate2014,
Really sorry to hear the disappointment evident from your post. The Remix Mini won't be getting Remix OS based on 6.0 anytime soon due to the Allwinner chip not supporting Marshmallow. This I've probably mentioned to you before.
Supporting Remix Mini is still something we're actively working on. There will be a test version going out to testers within a couple days and after it goes through testing, it'll be released as a public OTA update for all Mini users. If all goes well, I'd say testing will take around a week. Thus, we do continue to support Remix Mini, though we do have our resource challenges as a startup.
As for everything you've tried from us being junk, please let me know exactly what it is that's been bad and I'll do my best to make sure it's fixed as long as it's within my power to. Can you pass on a private email through PM here and I'll contact you about your issues.
Lastly, we will work harder to make sure our earliest backers, esp on Kickstarter, know we're listening and we value you. I'm sorry to anyone who has felt let down by us in any way.
Jason

Email address PMed. Thanks for the response.

Sooooo, not sure what the update did, but there is a new update if you opt in to receiving the testing releases. Still no root like you get by default in MM, which the Mini won't get.
I'm really not sure how this happens, but I'm done. There's no "rectify"-ing this beyond taking returns and providing refunds I don't think. And I would not expect that, of course.
So, I'm done. Anybody want mine, PM me. It's mint, and updated to the latest FW.

mine has been sat in a drawer for the last 2 months hugely disappointed with jide "rooting your mini will void your warranty" poor excuse. this device should have come pre-rooted simular to the way cm roms are. the people on xda are by nature tinkers and you jide actively dennying root access does not endear you. (a half pre rooted rom is still not good enough).
for most people the "P" in pc means personnal as in yours to do with or customize as YOU see fit, however in the case of the remix mini i think it means "pwned" by jide.
i had massive hopes for this device and remix but sadly have moved on.

It's somewhere around the update window. 3 dots to click that give you settings to accept testing releases. I don't really see any point, unless they will offer root on the testing releases, maybe.

Expensive doenst mean good.. in many cases.. (and more cores doesnt mean faster computing)
-Most android tv boxes have no support what-So-ever, But with some support from XDA\freaktab\Libre-elec... most of them got to be quite good

N920p - Any fully working Note7 Port Rom for Note 5 Sprint?

Hello, any working Note7 port rom to N920p Note 5 Sprint.
Thanks.

Damn no response this sucks for us
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Please, some support for sprint, or a guide to flash any n7 port room and a working kernel combination, any help, very apreciated.
I coming from verizon note 5, no look with root, now got rooted on sprint, but no note 7 port.

I second this. I've tried countless times to flash a N7 port and tweak it to work. We're all at a loss as I guess the SM-N920P isn't getting much love any longer!

Alright, I know how all you guys feel as i have the n920p as well. I'm going to give some constructive advice here.
Stop waiting and start learning. NOW. There are HUGE strides being made in the sprint note 4 forums. Here I'll even get you started down the path.
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/sprint-datafix-note7-roms-finally-t3488434
Specifically, @tx_dbs_tx dropped some major knowledge that im pretty sure goes for us too.
This post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69394066&postcount=33
Heres more info if you have more time:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/sprint-datafix-note7-help-t3484249
While my presence is not well known on xda, I've been around for a while. I'm more active on telegram helping on the back end of ARISE. I'm also working on a n920p specific note 7 port for us.
The thing is that I'm learning every single thing as I go ALONE. Im not a dev and I refuse to ask skilled developers to take time from their projects to teach me things that i can search for on xda and Google. So don't expect or look for my port any time soon. Im a noob too unfortunately, that's just how it is.
If you are sick of not having options i just gave you one. Start working and stop waiting for others to rescue the n920p. If you are competent enough to flash a custom recovery, root your device, etc then you are also competent enough to read the basics and apply them to our ****ty Sprint situation.
I apologize if i sound like a complete ****, but at some point on a development website you are going to have to, you know, work on developing something or solving a problem.
2. Second option is to get upset and wait for something that's never going to come.
if you guys have better ideas please feel free to share.
my. 02 cents on the n920p.

Aurora boots and gets some sort of data connection.

I will go ahead and warn you that the porting process for the N7 UX software is quite intense. There is so many things that you will have to figure out the hard way. Updater-script, build.prop, libraries, apns, csc, framework files, porting of system apps, the list goes on. Now that I have already figured everything out, I know I can do it for the N5 but the problem is time. I am still working out minor kinks with my N7 port for our N4. When I get my rom finished for the most part I will get with you guys and see where you're at with your own N7 port for the Sprint N5 and if you haven't finished it by then I will build it out from memory and send it over here in the Sprint N5 forum. Sorry that I can't put aside my current project and start on another. I'd never get anything done this way. Just know that the biggest issues will be fingerprint scanner and AOD bug which both are dificult to fix. Keep this in mind if you rely heavily on fingerprint scanner for lockscreen, etc. Then again it may be easier to fix for the N5.

I've been meaning to shoot you a message. I've pretty much read every single post you have made on N4 data fixs. There are a few others but it's 5am.....lol Man don't apologize for working smart.for your users. I said in another thread I will not ask for any other developer to drop their time and projects to help someone who has just grasped the basics. It's too much to ask of devs already over loaded. I've got too much on my plate right now too, but I've been spending LOTS of spare time at first with attempting to dive into a data fix for current ports that will boot.
Recently I just decided to attempt to port my own based on our firmware. 100% correct this is no walk in the park. You will prob be done light years before me.
If anyone is working on the same basic N920p N7 port and wants a hand I can dedicate some time and limited knowledge to help out. I can throw a telegram group together (here https://telegram.me/n7ton920p ) if anyone in this thread wants is interested in trying to get things working or has news of some something to look into.
Oh, I had an ATT note 4 and it was dead in the water with the boot loader locked. It was such a capable device I'm glad it's getting some good development.

That's not going to work on Sprint network though. Even those China cdma N7 ports are setup different than the Sprint variants. And forget about the gsm ports, they're nowhere close to being setup for Sprint cdma. Everything in framework & system that is related to telephony must be setup specifically for Sprint or else you will be fighting it forever and still not get it working right. Sprint has it's own codes/strings in smali throughout the rom. Start with the Sprint N7 & N5 tarballs ans build it with that. I have the latest Sprint N7 tarball I just need to get the latest Sprint N5 tarball and I can put the port rom together. It just takes time to redo the build.prop & updater-script and make the modifications. Then there's the issue of me not having a N5 to test. I'd have to build it from my experience then get somebody to test for me. The fact that the N5 is a 64bit device will help a lot. There won't be any need to port apps like i have to do for the N4. I'll see what I can do.

I've got both tar balls too. I pretty much gave up on those ports after reading what you were saying about the gsm network stuff. I'm learning to port roms with this being my first one. Trail by fire much lol?
If you want to throw it together I'll be happy to test it for you. Anyone who joins the telegram group will be happy to test it as well. Like I said finish your rom for your users first. If you want to and can throw a quick port together all of us n5 guys would be really appreciative. No worries either way.

I installed Lamlazy v7.1 n7 port.
And its working, minor bugs so far.

Android 8 for SM-G900F

Hi to all SM-G900F fans and for all developers! :laugh:
I'd like to introduce this topic to discuss about the possibility of the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F to have the new Android 8. Knowing about some amazing improvements that were made to the new Android 8 that will arrive soon, I'd like to know the following:
[ALL FANS] - What do you think about our S5 SM-G900F having an Android 8 ROM? With a booting time cut in half, with app performance increased in double, with drivers available to update, etc.? If that will be possible to the developers apply to the S5 SM-G900F, it would be great or not?
[ALL DEVELOPERS] - What do you think about the idea of creating an Android 8 ROM for a great 2014 phone? It will be possible to do that with all improvements that were claimed for the new Android 8? It will worth that huge effort?
As you can see I love this phone, no doubt about that. :laugh: But, my wish is to have my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running Android 8 with all those features that were claimed to have in the new Android OS. If that can be possible, I think it would be amazing for this phone! Because I think the hardware is still good to support newer software and it would be very nice to see an excellent quality/price phone like this to match new ones.
I hope my wish can became true. . .please do not let this phone R.I.P!

"booting time cut in half, with app performance increased in double, with drivers available to update" Idk if it is possible, but it will be quite hard. If android 8 will come out, we developers WILL DO OUR BEST to get the best out of the s5. Seriously, we try our best but stop saying things like this, developers do this things without wanting anything in advance from you, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT! And please don't open threads like this because it is like opening a thread and just saying "i bought a new phone and i am happy (no **** sherlock lol) "!

Yeah, you're absolutely right and I apologize for my behavior. I was only excited about that I just decided to try to share my feelings and thoughts with the XDA Community. I love XDA Developers. It teached me so much about everything related to Android over the years. However, I must follow all the rules and have a good behavior so please feel free to remove/delete this thread.
Once again, I'm sorry for having opened this thread. Just a BIG "thank you" to all developers for the hard work they always do and for all members that share doubts and solutions for everything related to Android.
Best regards,
Lu

It's alright to discuss about such things, but never push devs beyond what they can do. You simply show disrespect and it's one of the main reasons why devs give up creating something new.
Regarding Android 8 (Android O), I don't think it's going to be an easy task to port it to our device. At first, on Nougat was hard enough to make everything working (camera being one of the main highlights, since N has a completely revamped camera interface under the hood, like different process handling and stuff). I can't imagine, what O actually brings to the table and in no way it's going be a walk in the park.
And neither battery life nor camera is going to be as good as stock. Blame Samsung and Touchwiz for their closed source nature.

Even if it happens, camera will still suck. Why flash something that makes your phone worst and unstable, just to say that you have the latest android version in "phone about"

I don't know why you are so hyped about it, it has really small changes since Lollipop...

Of course not. It's about to have all the NEW features in your OLD phone (if possible, of course). I think there are several phones (like the Samsung Galaxy S5) that have plenty potencial to run newer software. Besides that, one teacher I had, one day, he told in the classroom that there's no limits when programming, it only depends on our imagination to create solutions. I'm nobody to say that his words are correct or not, but I believe if there's will and hope that things are capable to be made.

I'd love to see Android 8 on my S5. It is true and it will be always true that the stock TW camera is the best one. It has slow-mo and 1080p60 video (I know that OnePlus camera has 720p90fps slow-mo, but that's not that great comapared to the stock.) But in my opinion, for some picture shooting, it is a great camera with the stock Lineage camera as well. (Maybe one day someone can find Samsung's driver).
Besides that, the S5 runs great with the latest 7.1.2 Android, and I believe that it will run as fast (if not better) with Android O.
Definetly hope for an upcoming information, devs: take your time, make a great rom.

I don't see anything wrong with this topic? The guy just asked if it's possible lol He didn't tell you "MAKE IT NOW!!". About stock android 8 - no. Stock android is boring, even Samsung's version of KitKat has more features than the newest stock android from Google. But some sort of port from, let's say, the Note 8 or the Galaxy S9 would be awesome in my opinion. There already are S8 ports for the KLTE which work with little bugs that will be fixed soon (SkiesROM) or ones that don't really matter that much (DreamUX ROM). Hardware is more than capable. iPhones have super low hardware and Apple updates them for 4-5 years ahead. This means that 'old' 2014 hardware like the S5's can be used perfectly fine even in 2020...with the right developers. BUT, nothing beats official Sammy firmware. Sure, you'll get the new features from android O(reo?) and the new Note8/S9 but bugs are inevitable whereas TouchWiz 6.0.1 is fine in every aspect. I'll stick to my S5 until 2019-2020 and then buy a new S10 or S11 (xd). I just hope that Samsung bring back the features from the S5 like IR blaster, fingerprint scanner on the front, hover view in the gallery and video apps, etc. FM Radio won't hurt too (still envy my S3 Mini for having it, 1%=3h radio) :|
