AOSP Gingerbread Hero cdma port? - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi everyone,
been following this thread for a while:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403
it seems the cdma guys have got a gingerbread port that is much further along than any port for our standard heros. everything works, much like feeyos port, but i have heard that this is a lot smoother and contains a lot of things from the cm7 sources from other devices.
i have seen roms ported from cdma to hero before and just wondered if anyone fancies having a crack at this?
cheers,
Sam

I'd love to see that

yeah i think it'd be a really good rom for someone to have a go at porting, seems they are so much further along than us!
if i was in any way an experienced developer i would have a go, but unfortunately im not

Is there sourcecode available?
I think it would be better to in-cooperate the important changes, then porting things. As the latter would give other problems.

unfortunately i dont think there is, just a kernel source. could always pm the developer? im sure he would be happy to cooperate

We have Cronos Gingerbread guys :-D Camera and all hardware is working. Use google.

Yes I know, have used it for a while and there's far too much lag for daily use, especially in launcherpro. Also seems like feeyo is not getting much further with a new build.

I agree, and as sjknight413 said, the CDMA rom seems like its a lot smoother and stuff, so i think it's worth it

WOW!! it looks sexy!! with theme chooser too!! GET IT PORTED SOME ONE!!?? =)

I promise some work on CM7 for hero this week. Stay tuned.
his morning tweet, nothing more to say

Hell yeah! Once we get a fully working cm7 I think development will kick off from villain, elelinux etc

I get zero lag. set your cpu settings to somethign like 4xx to 6xx ondemand, then add a screen off profile of somethign like 1xx to 4xx ondemand.
disable all animations in settings->display.
disable dithering in cm parts.
set all launcherpro animations to instant or as fast as possible (instant is great) for the app drawer and so on.
trust me - you'll find it's quick. the rom is incredible - those settings work around the only real speed issue it has which is with transition animations.
I use it all the time. it's fantastic.

I have all the settings you just said set, but I have my max speed set at 710mhz. Its just generally laggy, mainly with launcherpro swiping between screens and system animations. Yeah its fast but I can't be dealing with the lag.

elelinux has been involved in gb for our hero from day one. he's worked with feeyo to bring us cronos gingerbread 0.0.9 which is, as noted, pretty outstanding. they both say there are lots of development tasks left to do so it'll be interesting to see if they find the cdma version has some stuff they can pull in or if it's just too different.

I think because almost everyone in america get's a CDMA Hero from his/her work, and because the sprint network is really populair in america
edit:
which will give them more users
which means more need for newer roms etc.
which means faster and better devs

odd. zero lag here. nada. lp swiping is instantaneous. there are no system animations running if you followed my instructions so again, nada.
I'd say that something's different between our setttings. I wonder if I forgot anything. you turned off surface dithering in cm parts, right?

It is subjective and best left to each person to determine which one they like best.

Avalaunchmods EVOlutionV8-Froyo. I love this ROM, I can live without a camera, for now anyway. Besides that, I'd have to say BuglessPete's latest.

Yeah, So far I really like Bugless. But just unlocked so am gonna try out FRESH!!! Can't WAIT to see where all this goes.
Right now I would give the nod to Damage Control but all the ROMs available are pretty excellent right now, and it's only going to get better, especially whenever HTC releases the source.

Also, I was running BuglessBeast and then just flashed Fresh to see what it had to offer..
I'm going back to Bugless.
-No Ads
-Better battery life
-just looks a little smoother too.
That's interesting. I wounder if I get the same results, I do love Bugless though. Thanks for the feedback. I did try to edit it, but even in Advanced mode there is nothing that refers to the poll, at least that I see.
Damage control is my Rom of choice right now I love how it works battery life is better than it was before. And once the themes start rolling out it will be a rap. I wanna see a theme like froyo but with sense that would be great

Yeah, I feel ya. I like Bugless Too. But there was too many problems with his current release. The idea is good and I loved it, but too many fc issues, USB/Storage Drive issues etc. So in the meantime I hit up Froyo.
I flashed the Froyo Rom only because I don't use my camera that much. I probably use it once or twice a year at that. But anyway I flashed this Froyo and it's fast and just smooth. One of issues is that when you unplug it from a computer the LED light stays on, but most people that's using the rom just went to the market and bought this app that turns the LED off. So that's no big deal. Idk if 4g works or not either. Plus I'm not in a 4G area so it didn't matter to me. But if camera's is something you don't need everyday, chance check it out.
not sure that i have had a single one on long enough to give a truly valid opinion. So far (after i got my recovery issues fixed) they all seem pretty awesome...
I cannot believe the community that the evo is getting... its ridiculous!!
My hat is off to all the devs.... I wish i could do what you do!! Lets keep up the amazing work and keep the community fun!!
Right now I'm using froyo v8. Love it.
Damage control is also awesome
Bugless is also awesome
Fresh's is also awesome
See a trend here? Everyone should check each and every one of them out. They all excel in their own way and have tons to offer.
No vote for Baked Snack? v.7 has worked great for me ever since I flashed it. Also, the battery life on it is INSANE.

If I may ask...

Do any of the devs prefer Sense?
Im finding more and more "little" things I did not realize were particular to sense (email that doesn't suck harder than a Tijuana Whore on pay day, the lack of Vcard functionality etc).
Problem is, I am loving froyo too
So anyhow I guess more directly I want to know if anyone is working on a sense/froyo

It sounds like you want something like Tainted Vanilla with a Froyo base... Maybe someone will get the motivation to do that. Maybe not. It's not a bad idea.
I personally find AOSP based ROMs to meet my needs, but Sense isn't bad. It just slows things down, and this phone doesn't need to be slowed down.
Another hybrid ROM with the extra speed that Froyo and OCing brings... Hmm. It's something to thing about.
I could honestly care less about the ascthetic parts of sense... In Fact I would kill to see a vanilla rom with HTC mail and contacts only...
I just hoped some of the devs prefered sense.
I know one "dev" that is wanting to start work on a Sense Froyo, but there are some people here that aren't fans of this gentleman so I won't bother mentioning his name. Keep an eye out over at androidforums though.
phonebook 2.0 looks a LOT like the htc contacts.
I believe Framework is working on a Froyo version of sense.

This is the exact idea behind xtrROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694472
is that a hint you are working to extend that to FroYo?-
I kinda like the look of the new sense that the desire didnt get. i also know that there is a sense based froyo build possibly coming this way soooon/
I actually enjoy sense, it seems more snappier and fluid then the Vanilla roms released, I know its just a kernel thing though. Which is why I can't wait for Kaos to come out with his new kernel
i dont think that people dont like sense i know i do i just like JIT way more lol

I hate Sense. I used Ivan's Official until Tainted Vanilla came along, and switched to True Vanilla when it became available. Have not used a Sense ROM since.

what sense rom do you use thats snappier and smoother?
what AOSP roms have you used that are slower then sense. . . so i can make sure to not use them. No offense sense rom builders, but i havent had any luck with sense roms. i do love how it looks just slows my already slow enough phone down further.
#1 there always twitching between simple home screen scrolling and app drawer scrolling let alone anything that needs to actually use the CPU
#2 my battery dies much faster with all of those awesome looking widgets
#3 JIT doesn't play too nice with sense making it slightly lose its edge against AOSP roms.
I used to like sense until I started using White Widow... now the only thing I actually miss from Sense is the Facebook contact linking. Everything else seems to have a replacement so far... and often more customizable, which I always enjoy
Evil Eris is a very solid sense rom imo.

Facebook sync has been working with the newest CELB build. When I boot, the market has an updated FB app. I suspect this may be the cause.

Hi,
Does any one know if there is a Sense-Froyo Rom for Nexus One?
If so is it any good / stable, if not any ideas when?
Cool thanks guys.
Yea there is one but stable not really to confident on that but modaco.com you should be able to find a sense ui rom on there

I'd rather post a quick question to people who are dealing with this frequently, than trawl the web, sift through junk and install something which has lots of bugs.
Cheer up, its not all bad.
Thanks for the link.
you'll have to forgive XDA, recently it has attracted many young people that get bullied at home and school, this is a place they can come and anonymously display their e-toughness. Just ignore them.
btw, i dont think there is a sense rom that has everything working like your stock version. i hope im wrong but i was interested in rooting to use sense, in the development section i couldnt find any that didnt have disclaimers about things that arent working, so i havent gotten to try it out yet. But again, maybe im wrong, and i hope i am.
Without a criteria of what he is looking for other than good and stable it's hard to give a good answer. It's not about e-toughness, it's about searching, putting together an informative post, and reading the forum rules.
'cymru' is 100% correct. All it took was a search and reading comments about what does and does not work, then nandroid backup and try the rom and see if it passes the "good and stable" test.

Well there are some roms that have ported sense camera, and apps.
I do believe my "The Official" rom has them. It didn't come stock with the sense camera, but I had it installed (easy to do from spare parts, plus I have 720p recording).
The best you can do is look for a rom with those things ported over.

Hi guys, if the battle for whos the cleverist is now over, heres some feed back for the advice given.
I've installed, Evils q&d sensefroyo. Been running it for a few days, its cool. A little buggy, a few force closes, high battery use, no bluetooth, but very usable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
Again thanks for the input, hope this helps anyone else who was looking for similar info.
Cheers.
I tried kingxclikz and Paul's r23 roms, I must say the first one is very buggy and there are no ways to use it even for 24h(though I think it needs an eclair radio),Paul's rom is way more stable but the lack of Metamorph themes,trackball mods and BT are too important.
He promised to release a new version soon so all we can do is wait and see!
Ughh. No BT on any sense ROM then?
Is anybody even working on bluetooth for Desire roms? I don't think anybody actually is. There are a few people I think might be capable like Paul but he's busy with other things now by the looks of it

[Q] Is there any Kernel that can run like SnapTurbo?

So far, you can only run 7.6 Snapturbo on Cyanogenmod Roms !! I tried CM6 but I did not really have a good feel to It.. im more of a Sense type of guy, Im really in love though with the 7.6 Snapturbo That CM6 is capable of running.. I ran it and hit a 2300 on my Quadrant!! WOW!!
Only thing is i dont really like the CM6 interface/skins/themes/ etc..
I like how all my e-mails and contacts are synced in the Fresh Rom/every other Rom
MY question is..
Is there another Kernel that runs like 7.6 Snapturbo?? If so which one and is it possible to run it on Fresh Rom or Similar Roms
Im familiar with Virus Rom aswell as i used to have that one prior to Fresh
If someone can point me in the right Direction I would Greatly Appreciate it
I don't know of any Sense roms that run Turbo.
Development??
Is there talk about one being developed ?? why is it that only CM6 is capable of running it?? what does it have that the other do not?
the developer only released it for cm6, and he will not release the code for turbo, so it will not be seen in a sense rom anytime soon, unless the developer changes his mind.

And I guarantee you he never will.
OP, have you tried LauncherPro while you were on CM6? Between LP and some skin edits, you can make it fairly sense-like. Take a look at the Matted Blues theme for an example.
I dont have the knowledge of a developer but, if Cyangen could do it... why can't another Dev do some research on the 7.6 snapturbo and make the Necessary adjustments
Because Cyanogen didn't do it, jmxp69 did, and TURBO is closed-source, owned by Spiicytuna and jmxp69. Nobody else will ever be able to recreate it unless they can figure out what was done, from scratch.

Turbo is not fully complete for cm6, so to even think of converting to sense is out of the question for right now. I am still working on finishing it up for a v2 release for cm6.

I don't. What app actually pushes the CPU beyond it's limit? The only noticeable/visual bottle neck (that affects most if not all current available apps) on the EVO is the GPU which Snap Turbo does not improve.

Emulators, videos, booting, flipping through homescreens with plenty of widgets, scrolling through my 3D app drawer...
Most of those things are gpu related and thus are probably in your head since the gpu drivers are the same as stock.

Excuse me of my ignorance, but why make it closed source? Isn't the point of Android to make things open sourced and better for all? The more people working on something like this, the better it could become right?

The kernel and OS are GPL'd, meaning they have to stay open-source, but SNAP Turbo is an app created by Spiicytuna, using special code in the Snap kernel and various tweaks to the phone's filesystem. Those modifications, and how to interface with the kernel modifications, are not covered under the GPL, and Spiicytuna and jmxp69 have decided themselves not to make TURBO open-source at this time.
Their choice. If you don't like it, you can go use that kanged kernel from the forum's most popular code-and-credit stealer.

So guess what, we aren't gonna get AOSP Gingerbread(says the 2.3 AOSP guy)

So the guy who's dumping the AOSP from the Nexus S said "There is no AOSP support any longer for ADP1 ("dream") and ADP2 ("sapphire")." You can read it yourself here http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/298a46f6eaab8c39 I don't know if it's true so please tell me if it's not and please don't flame me if it's not.

The Dream can barely handle FroYo, I don't know how well it would handle Gingerbread.
Does anyone actually have their G1 running quickly on a FroYo ROM? CM is pretty damn slow.

yes, CM itself can be set up right for once, then are the OTA roms who are with less things...so they run quite good and ofc the AOSP froyo roms.
What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...
Come on man when have we "never" been able to get an update? Im gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say we will still be getting roms for at least another 2 years!

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.
AOSP gingerbread running on my Dream..
So seems mostly a go.. will require some poking for a true release but not that bad.
If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

This is so great!

What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...

check out the 2708 radio+kernels. By switching to the new radios released for the mytouch + kernel with support, you gain back an extra chunk of ram for os use. Definitely helps out froyo builds

camera (with the minimal poking to get it to compile) is working
No release because many bits of this are easy to fix
> wifi works
> camera works
> hw3d I think is working .. but lanuncher/3d gallery/keyboard are running a bit slow .. and we know the port to 2.2 of launcher/keyboard run fine
> bluetooth no-go but that is just because I'm using a sapphire firmware (easy to swap)
> gsensor no go.. I think this will be a relatively easy thing to correct. API change confused it.
Taking a break from testing while I make a repo to work from

Honeycomb (Android 3.0 or 2.4....who knows) will not require a 1Ghz CPU.
Still don't understand why you people want gingerbread so much. The time it takes to get something that was never intended to even be ran on the G1 was at least a year or so and that was only with eclair and froyo. We can't run a lot of things because of the lack of ram like jit. Everything lacks now, even the gpu.
Please stop with all this silly nonsense about Gingerbread threads and just be patient. I have little faith in the project, as most original devs have completely moved onto different devices which are easier. Not saying the new devs are bad, I'm just saying we lost a lot of veteran support on the G1.
Why not just use something fast on your G1 that won't fry it's sockets after 5 hours of use?

People just want to have the newest, and humans like pushing limits (in this case of the G1).

Not only that, look at ezterry's mt3g port of froyo. 2708 radio/kernel + mt3g = hot fastness. Loaded it on two G1s, the gf loves how much faster it is than the other froyo roms we've tried. Probably has to do with the fact ezterry's port is nearly completely stock (it is without the parts update).

(keep hitting thnks buttn by mistake on every post xD)
Anyway I think 2.3 will be too much for the G1/MT3G to handle, it already struggles with 2.2 so 2.3 is over doing it. Battery will not be very good, as most phones with 2.2 now have 512+ ram as the standard. To get the best experience you'll need faster hw to support the effects,apps,etc...2.1 is the furthest i would go w/ a g1, but 1.6 is where the best perf is. I would go with a new phone if you wanna enjoy 2.3.
p.s. not trying to discourage anyone, just stating facts
