i will put at least 20 bucks on the table for a "stable" cm7 mod most features should work but official cm7 status isn't needed imo.

I dont give any money, because $aur0n want to backport some of the Cyanogen Mod 7 features
Please read the Developement Thread of Urukdroid.
Why we need more than one ROM?
If many Developers work on different projects, its crap
But if many Developers work on one project together, this project will be good
Thats my opinion Thats why i support Urukdroid by testing and helping on Developement
i think sauron should work on a cm7 port and base his future work on cm7
what wider range then with cm you could have you would profit from much more developers (userspace and some kernel work for sure too) and we would be faster on updates from google and completly independent(well not 100%) from soon stopping asus support
if we want to gain some life for our gen8 this is imo the last chance we have.

Wow,slowly please
This sounds like an Apocalypse
Just wait You'll see
Or you start to helping the Developement of Urukdroid, so we can "gain some life in our gen8" Helpers always welcome I also just startet to help $aur0n at his great work on Urukdroid just last week and i've much more knowledge (even now)
And:
Be happy that we've a rom!
I've had the Archos Gen7 (Archos 5 Internet Tablet) and nobody developed things for it
Just some extremly unstable Froyo Alpha releases... very poor
But we've got a really good rom on Gen8 Be happy, and joyn Urukdroid "team"
@Lennb:
Why are there so many cars when a xyz is doing ok?
Because everyone has other needs, other opinions and other wishes.
So if you want to stay with Uruk, fine.
If someone wants MIUI.11 or CM19 ported it is his wish.
And if he is willing to pay for his wishes, than let him.
@gbohm:
€10 from me
my worry with urukdroid is that it is still based on archos because userspace stuff isn't open sourced, so the experience stays.
with cm you can work on every part of the "rom" the possibilities are a lot bigger.
you can't compare a modded rom with a custom kernel to a full blown aosp implementation.
i think sauron makes a wonderfull job but he is working on a platform with a short life span, cm is here to stay and with any new dev it will get better.

Wrong.
As stated often before we have the sde, which allows us to install another kernel.
If someone would implement one with nandroid features, scriptingsupport and second boot we have the recovery.
There is no need to break anything.
And juts o get CM working that is not even needed.

Yes it got cracked. BUT no developer in his right mind is going to use that crack.
If you apply the crack the possibility of bricking your device is growing exponentially because there is no fallback position available.
Other android devices have fastboot or sd card boot out of the box.
Archos has neither so if you patch the boot0 and avboot and the next time the user wants to install a stock firmware there is a big possibility the device will be bricked if that firmware updates only one of the two boot loaders.

You can't tell people what they want.
You can only listen to them. They're willing to PAY money to get a CM7 port. That means that they're pretty set on one.
I would like a port too and I'm willing to put up $20 for someone to port over clockworkmod and another $20 for a stable CM7 build.
CM7 would be WAYYYYY faster than Uruk or any other manufacturer firmware. Have you SEEN how slow the Archos Gen 8 tablets can be? Something OBVIOUSLY doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Nothing with a 1GHZ snapdragon processor that runs Android 2.2 should fall so behind in nearly every task it takes on.
Not to mention that 256 mb of ram should be more than enough.
20$ from my side too, for stable CM7+ on archos 101
thank you i hope that we will raise some money to attract a dev who could buy himself an archos and get it paid from us after he build cm

Here's an idea, maybe something else can contribute or confirm it might works..
the Nook honeycomb image is actually running on top of a 2.6.29-omap kernel, which indicate that only some parts might require 2.6.36.3 functions.
I know that the main problem for me porting it, was the libc.so which uses kernel calls not found in our existing 2.6.32.9 kernel. so it crashed due to some cache functions not implemented.
- could the missing cache functions be implemented into our 2.6.32 kernel?
- can the Nook edition with a working libc.so (hopefully without FPU function compiled) be used to replace our xoom image libc.so which crashes?
So to make an early edition can we merge the ARMv5 libs (i assume it is from the emu) and use this with xoom edition and then keep our libnv* environment which is compatible without our nvrm_daemon (which no one can fix, although a proper kernel work for booting 2.6.36.3)
ideas.. but if its possible to put into "real life" is another story.
and how many can do experiments?
Artem wrote he is on the 2.6.36.3 kernel, but since we might have an option to go around, maybe also worth considering, if display driver lacks nvrm_daemon support.

correct,
we already know it has different resolution . and probably better display now, and no hardware buttons on the side, so no I2C used for this..
i think its very different, as it probably also got 802.11n wifi now, which we dont have and need different ar6000 driver.
i think its a long road downhill for folio100 if the 200 edition should be anything close as source for porting.

Please, I'm no expert in this, so bare with me for asking questions.
Honeycomb uses a different kernel than Froyo ok.
For Froyo we have the source for all (hardware) drivers ?
Can the "android" part of Honeycomb (from for example Xoom) be put on
a kernel with required hardware drivers or are there stuff in the "android"
stuff that is hardware dependant ?
Is it hard to port drivers between kernel versions ?
Just trying to understand the many tasks need to get Honeycomb on Folio.

Hello People, I'm Moon And trough my world of android have i gotten lowend devices for own use. i love them because they're so cheap and still Great.
I have come from the GT540 Optimus to the ZTE blade and now the x8,
(I kept the Blade trough.) I am a big fan of Racht and his sense ports, what i want to ask you people for, since Racht seems to have disappeared should we do what developers and friends of him do. We finish what he started.
Most important is currently The GL Drivers I think, Maybe some RAM Management. The free ram is very low. (about 40\50mb) This causes Rosie to reload after coming from other apps. this would be cool to fix.
I asked XDA MEMBER # Kenia1234 (he ported it to the SGS)
About 3d\open gl and wifi. this was his reply.
however as regards 3D I fixed it using my device's libs under system/lib/egl or under /vendor/lib/egl and of course using a CM7 powered kernel...
as regards the wifi, it's a little bit more complicated...you'd need to have the bins of your device under /system/bin and the firmwares all in order, as the kernel wants to...
hope this was useful!!

Yes it was useful Thank you. any other Sense porters please contact us.

I See, Thanks for Providing this information to the masses.
The Ray is the best Choice after the Arc, For me, Since i like big screens.
But yes. Lets just hope for the best. the Guy i updated on, (On the op) is doing GB sense too. We should let Racht Rest and hope for the best.
In racht's last Sense Port there is a lot of bugs. I really love that rom but it has a lot of bugs.
I was without SIM Card and in the Notification Bar it was showing that i used %S(something like this) tries for the unlock key and blablabla.
SD Safe to remove bug in ROOT Apps
I tried to connect the phone to my car radio and it doesn't show anything in the phone, only the icon changed to charging, but no led, no popup for connecting, nothing. And the radio does not recognized the phone. (i think it will happen the same in the computer, i think)
3d, wifi, 3G and vibra not working, as it shows on the original topic
So this is what has to be worked on
I cannot help you so much because i'm not a good java developer, i can only understand some parts of the code, but i cannot write it. But if you want a beta tester i'm here to try to find the maximum bugs i can
I will love if someone could continue what Racht did
I am following the news.
As I have said some months ago, X8 is now added to official CM tree, you can see here :
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira
So, I guess thats the end of CM story (even that I prefer tweaks by doixanh).
Sense rom depends on kernel features that do not work on .29 kernels.
See HTC threads, all new roms require .32 or .35 kernels, lets hope X8 will get a new kernel ported.
And thanks again for support

Hey Xda members
I have been thinking, Porting of ICS for our LG-p500's is not going to happen the best we can probably get is 2.3.7 with the 4.0 gui and a nice new kernel to support it. However I have been hearing that certain development teams are working on porting ICS. Is this true? How far do you guys think they will get? Hopefully within the next three months we shall see our first beta roms running 4.0 I really hope so as the new layout of 4.0 is better than 2.0-2.3.7. However they will run into issues such as giving support for the ARMv6 processor and fine tuning it so it will be able to run on half a gigabyte of ram... Which will likely limit the system very much so. I believe the minimum requirements for 4.0 are of the following:
1ghz processor
1gb of ram
these minimum requirements are double those of the p500's specs.
As I find out more I shall post links to developers teams threads which are working on ICS ports.
Also if anyone needs any help with their device leave a message as I can help with anything.
No, there are no minimum requirements for ICS. it's just that currently it's not possible to port ICS (no 3D(hw acceleration), so it's useless) because LG and Qualcomm haven't release new sources for ICS.
Back in time, when ICS sources were released and Andy started with his port, i told him that there would be no big big progress until some specific parts of source corresponding not only to armv6 but qualcomm chip itself (or lg stuff/sources) be released but he insisted he could manage to fix all by himself, now im sitting back with my bowl of pop corns
That beign said, im not here to disrespect or to demerite his hard work, and good lord that he has a team now to support him, as he realized when he was working alone on GBS phonenix it was a very difficult/ time consuming job and finally left that project...
Finally and hopefully, we have very good devs working in devices similar to O1 and they surely will find out a way to make ICS work, (if andy doesnt manage fix this those problems first........)

Yeah, making a build from source is a lot easier than a port from another device, it also tends to be more stable as well.
It's basically the same except that a configuration from a lower-end device (The G1 for example) will make it much simpler to build than making a custom device tree from scratch. Again, we need code we don't have, so we can only raise a war against LG or Qualcomm.
Gday guys,
I have a question regarding the short term future of the Nook Tablet. Now, Celtic Solutions have finished making CM7 ROM, I am unsure about what happens next.
I have got the latest CM7 Rom installed on my Tablet when it was released in Early April, if i wanted a more recent update version of CM7, what must i do.
I'm just a bit unclear about what is meant to happen next? Apart from CM9.
Is it possible that someone can shead some light on this topic for me.
Cheers Steve
CM7 is complete enough that it can be used quite well as a daily driver. It was never really meant to be an end all be all for the Nook tablet; more of an interim rom until CM9 was complete/stable. A new developer is being brought in for CM9 so stay tuned for development.
I don't really know if there is being much work done on CM7 but like I said, its fairly complete as is. CM9 is as well, with the exception of the proper kernel and subsequently hardware acceleration (netflix, higher end games).
Ah I see, well I can't wait for the full release of cm9 then. I've seen them talking about the cm7.2, does that relate to the 8GB tablet.
I know I'm not meant to ask this but... Have they put a rough ETA on when cm9 will be released? Loads of guys donated to buy some developers a nook tablet, do we can't be far off. What do ya think?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using XDA
There was a misunderstanding about some gpl issues beetween the NT build config and proper source git sync.
All got clear after original_ganjaman spoke with CelticWebSolutions.
So CelticWebSolutions when find some time may update CM7.
Theres never an ETA.
I'm so happy with CM7 I'm not even looking anymore

Is there something wrong with the 7.2 build you have now? CyanogenMod's 7.2 branch is the latest release, their fixes are mostly bugfixes related to specific devices now, since they've moved most of their development to the CM9 devices.
As said previously, there is no ETA for cm9. When they get the kernel working, when they finish their respective tweaks, it'll be done. If you have any programming knowledge, they're actively looking for new members to help with the work though!
As many of you might have noticed, I've been pushing lots of MiniCM sources the last days. ICS is done and JB is on its way.
I'd like to take this opportunity and invite other developers or members that would like to contribute patches to do so. We already have some people contributing code for MiniCM and I would like to see more joining in. The code is available at: https://github.com/MiniCM
Why do this now?
This arch is reaching its limit as far as android development is concerned and there is too much ROM fragmentation for an old phone like this.
I know that most of the ROMs around are already using MiniCM binaries or sources and I'm ok with that. However, now is the time to consider contributing back and helping this project.
MiniCM is a fork of CM dedicated for these old phones. Notice that we are never gonna have official CM support, this is actually the cause that MiniCM serves
Licensing
I decided to keep my modifications Apache licensed. This is what gave android such a rapid development and I'd say has proven successful so far
I'd like to see this thread being used for Development ideas and solutions. NOT by user spamming (which will get you banned soon anyway since this thread is mod-monitored - you've been warned).
Reserving for build instructions
I can try to do option for disable/enable display button, but i'm not sure that i can do it
Lets keep this thread clean and on topic, as the OP has requested
We (the mods) will have a close eye on things, so lets not have any nonsense :good:

Oooppss, hour of my time wasted Cyanogen guys are fast
FAQ of course
and remember, for each version (miniCM7,9 and 10) there is a dedicated FAQ
that you can find here
I have a little idea. Many users of X8 and X10 Mini/Mini Pro uses stock kernel and can't unlock bootloader. I tried to make an addon to boot MiniCM7 based ROM's on stock, but still without success. With your help, nobodyAtall and other users, we can make such addon. I'm too unexperienced yet to do this by myself. What are your thoughts?

Hi eagleeyetom,
Unfortunately stock kernel is VERY outdated to be usable in modern ROMs (e.g. gingerbread onwards).
In essence, one would have to replace the kgsl system to get the graphics to work decently with latest adreno blobs. Also I'm not sure if usb would be working since this too is outdated.
Other things to note: RAM (175MB if I remember correctly) is desperately low for modern Android versions, performance would also not be good enough for daily use. Kernel-side, I'm doing my best to boost performance as much as possible by backporting almost all of the main components that android uses from later versions.
All in all, for gingerbread it would be possible with serious performance sacrifices which I'm not willing to accept (even as a user). For ICS/JB, just forget it.
Perhaps a good project would be to make bootloader unlocking work for recent devices...
I understand your concerns and also think that stock is utter piece of crap, but it's still worth a shot. Such universal patch would improve development to our old shakiras. Your MiniCM is way better than official CM - really great job. Even with these bugs you've mention it's better than spent cash to unlock bootloader. I really admire the work of Alf and you - it's amazing to have such modern kernels to over-two-years-old devices.
Worse performance is a fact, but the ability to use almost every CM7 ROM on stock is tempting. This would be a great contribution to our small community.
P.S. I also think that you should have Elite Recognized Developer title. Such good work should be appreciated.

I see what you mean. Gingerbread compatibility is feasible BUT is gonna be pretty slow - in fact REALLY slow compared to MiniCM7.
We try to give a top quality ROM, so if this would ever happen it would be like a flashable zip and totally unsupported
I hope a lot pf devs will join the development. Cause everybody is working alone and if you all work together, it will bbe better for you and all ROM users. You'll develop quicker and easier.

nAa, is there a chance we can have CWM 6.XX on our GB kernels ?

I think it is possible, you can try it yourself, because you are able to change the recovery of the Kernel
actually it's possible. you just need to change the recovery file in the ramdisk with the one from JBMiniProject kernel or with one you compiled.
Why do not use the "Camera ICS+" in the market to replace the default camera app instead of taking a lot of time to fix the camera ???

nAa roms are pure CM roms custom built for our device. If you see there is no third party apps. Not in GB and ICS and neither in JB.

I was trying something similar last night but with FroyoPro25.. Trying to get usb tethering working in it..
Can you all focus on GB please?
Working on ICS and JB is useless because they will never work smoothly on these old phones

And what has left on GB to be developed? How can we improve it?
