[kernel] gingerbread sense WANTED will donate to make happen.

Recently htc released the source code to make it possible for gingerbread sense kernels. I am trying to push the development community by offering a small donation to push it to happen. I would also like to extend this help with other xda members that would help donate to make it happen. So if you want this to happen post here stating you'll donate to the developer that makes it happen first.

no offense to the mods but they dont do a very good job at enforcing it...and no mods even hang out on the inc forums anymore so i dont see how it matters as long as this doesnt become a thread of flames i think this is sort of productive...

open sense is a piece of crap htc screwed us with that but the htc evo 4g kernel source code is something we could possibly use since we both have qsd8k platform

Oh, I though he was talking about opensense because he said release by HTC. But that could work I suppose. Maybe this will fix the sense kernel issues
I also think as long as this remains on topic, ie people voicing support, I don't think this violates iron fist. Its not like we are demanding anything, were offering a nudge

I know. I wish they would open up applications again. I think I help out and contribute enough, but you never know with XDA. Lol. Even more that you and Nils were denied recognized developer status which is such a shame. I would be happy to help moderate in any forum, but the DInc and Eris forums are my home. Maybe they'll open up applications again soon.

I'm working on a port of the evo gingersense kernel to inc. with some pointers from chad I got it compiled but haven't gotten it to boot yet. IF I get it booted I will post it for testing.

for any dev that might work on this, if possible can you please include the following features:
- 5 pt. multitouch
- GPU +
- Smartass governor
- HAVS and/or sysfs
I.e.: the features that make incredikernel so damn awesome these features... or rather, lack thereof, are why I am still stuck on Froyo, as awesome as some of the 2.1/3.0 gingersense ROMS are...

If your staying on froyo because of those, your missing out. The leaked kernel is pretty good, the roms are awesome.

I ran Synergy for a while.... loved the ROM... but yeah, I'm one of the few who actually uses the multitouch (play a ton of Genesis and GBA on my phone). GPU + made a huge difference for 3d graphics framerates, smartass was a noticeable increase in battery life. On my custom Froyo ROM with incredikernel, the phone is rock solid stable, fast, smooth, everything works, and I can go WEEKS without a freeze, lock up, reboot, battery pull, etc.....
I don't feel like I'm missing out THAT badly, but, yeah once a custom kernel that does all that comes out, Synergy ROM here I come.

Gotta crawl before you walk bro. Let's just hope someone will actually take this one and successfully provide us with a kernel.
Good luck on porting that Evo kernel tiny. That would be HUGE for all of us.

Actually, smartass is available as a loadable module for gingerbread sense.
See this link:

Most of the rest of the requests will need a working kernel with source (or ported kernel).

...nevermind, sorry guys

tiny that would be awesome if you could get it to boot. joelz glad to see a powerful xda member supporting this. you probably remember me joelz when I started the thread to keep people up to date about your ROM on here when you left. glad we have your backing on this. it would make your ROMS that much sweeter if we can get this done. so my donantion starts out at 5 bucks to the developer that shows work in progress. let me know! and lets get this done!

Is Streakdroid 2.3 stable / working

Hi,
Streakdroid 1.9 has started to crash and go into a bootloop now I so I think it's about time I changed as this has happened before. My options are:
SimpleStreak
Streakdroid 2.3
My question is, is Streakdroid 2.3 stable enough to be used by someone who needs the phone fully working.
I don't want to bither the guys in the thread so thought I would ask here.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Its stable enough. Read through the thread to get a better understanding.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)

I was going to ask a similar question as at the moment I'm not had much luck. While it has been responsive and nice and quick, this morning I've have it crash loads. Along with a number of other ROMs that I have tried I don't seem to be having much luck.
Has anyone got more experience of maybe a older more stable ROM.

If you want stability go with stock 351 or 360.
SimpleStreak and Streakin' 354 have had the best reports of stability IMO. I have not used them, this is based on reading the threads - like you should do.
GingerStreak is still in development and some stuff does not work. So it would be usable only if you don't need the functions that are not implemented yet. What's your defintion of "fully working"?

Yep I did read through the threads which is why I put on streakdriod, then hit some issues. The others where a bit daunting with 50+ pages of comments to read though to see it was a bit pointless looking at it.
Really just looking for a pointer before I start reading up further.
So cheers what you offered will be a good starter.

I've been using 2.3 for a week now. I've only had one random reboot whilst using the youtube app. Currently it's been up for 3 days without reboot. It's nice to use, quick and also has the gingerbread enhancements.
Give it a try, you might just like it ;-)

Since you are coming from 1.9 and willing to change, I dont know what kernel the SimpleStreak runs on , so I will not comment on that. I can talk a bit about 2.3b2 since I am spending time with it. There you have a pretty stable kernel I can compare it with the stability of the 1.9.1 ( as a kernel ) but the framework of 2.3b2 is less stable so be prepared for surprises. As for the notion of "fully stable" you may need to go back to earlier options that had been around much longer ( and even there you might not find it ).

Should DragonMOD switch to CM7 base? [POLL]

Ok guys, back to working on DragonMOD. What we need to know is how many people would like or would mind if we switched to a CM7 base. Some of the features that we want to implement would be 800x easier on CM7 base vs Stock base. Also I would like to clarify that this doesnt mean that the 2.2 kernel will be dropped, I will personally maintain the 2.2 kernel but the ROM would switch to CM7 and there would be a CM7 based kernel aswell. Please feel free to leave your opinion aswell. We dont want to abandon 2.2 as there are still those who need the barely but functioning GPS of 2.2, but as it seems for this project the Samsung base just doesnt cut it for the ROMs goal.
PS: oops on the typo in the poll XP

CM all the way with voodoo color and sound and if possible try the new drivers from optimus 3d, gfx are the same but reported to be newer version.

Idk about that, but I just want to say again, the ROM would be the main thing switching, I'd still be working on the kernel for 2.2 and a 2.3 kernel

If you were able to make it more battery efficient I think I would make the switch. I really love your kernels so it might be worth it.

i'm all for more cm7 kernels. i'm stock cm7 right now because bali hasn't been updated and something changed with cm7 so it no longer works.

That would be part of the goal, but I'd also be maintaning the 2.2 kernel so even if you didnt like it thatd still be an option =] This is all up for debate, if the consensus is to stick with 2.2 we will, if its for CM7 thats the way the rom and kernel will go with the 2.2 kernel being a side project of mine

Yeah if it were more battery efficient then go on ahead. Until then toxic 8 and dmz nightly kernel 3 will be my daily driver.

best froyo experience

this may be outdated/unnecessary but i figured that i'd share / hope others would share too
im still skeptical about moving on to ICS for the vibrant just bc i need a phone that works 100% correctly all the time... so im still on froyo.
currently running bionix fishman mod final2 w/ bali-x @ 1.2ghz
essentially froyo tweaked in many ways w/ the appwidgetpicker
along with the miui camera, s.gps2 for gps fix, setcpu, and bln
is anyone else flashing any additional necessary files when they flash their roms??
share!

Fishman is good. My needs are different. I need a Rom that is atleast 2.2.1. So the capacitive buttons dont blind me on each screen press. I'd recommend ultimate rom or biwinning with the sense or sgs2 theme. I also use Bali undervolt kernel. If you haven't already test out the modems for your area. For instance for me its KB1.

I was on ICS Passion and 100% functionality is a stretch. Browsing through the thread reveals that damn near everyone else has problems too. I have issue with these devs that claim everything works when it's clearly a lie.
I'm using Fishman's 2.2 rom right now. No need to flash any other files for my needs. So far it's been pretty good.

i agree... im still on the fence of flashing an ICS rom but i think ill wait another couple of weeks bc im in no hurry to move on from a 100% functional rom
personally i think the miui camera is essential and am not sure why more people dont flash it over their roms. i use that & the stock hd recorder for a better camera experience

i also went back to a 2.2 rom...TARD...can yall post the links to the extras...i would love to try that s.gps fix...think what it was...

CM9's 16B is so functional that I put it on my Dad's phone, and he says it's running much better than it did before on Bionix. The only issue he and I have been having is the GPS, which never has worked from the beginning for us anyways, and very minor things (like the menu for toggle widgets is called lockscreens or something).
ICS is pretty awesome. You may want to give it a shot... I recommend the Icy Glitch kernel to go with CM9.

Is the official GB available for this yet?

when you say never worked, do you mean it as GPS ideally should? or even to the low standards of how the vibrant's GPS is supposed to work?
personally since everything works 100% as best as it possibly can right now on my vibrant with bionix fishman mod without a hardware gps fix, i'm very reluctant to move onto ICS if the GPS wont even lock within around 30 secs or so like i can get it to do with froyo especially if it is something i need eventually
minor things like menu names i can definitely deal with, but if froyo's GPS works better overall compared to an ICS rom, i see absolutely no reason to make the switch with this phone. if i need ICS that badly, i will get a new phone

"Petition" Qualcomm for ICS Drivers Compiled for ARMv6

Hey Guys, we can finally get ICS drivers if we sign this petition and get more supporters. There are currently 2500+ supporters, so it would be great if you guys contributed by signing the petition like I did (its not hard).
GO TO THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION (PLEASE DON'T SPAM): http://www.groubal.com/ics-drivers-compiled-for-armv6-from-qualcomm/
If we get enough, Qualcomm may compile the drivers for us so we can get the full ICS rom experience .
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551784

I already signed it, and hopefully qualcomm releases armv6 for our legends.

Petitions rose to 3200+ in just one night, things are looking good

Please don't forget that even if there were binary drivers suitable to run msm7k on ICS we'd still need an updated kernel (kgsl, etc) to use them.

Signed. They would be a great progress for the ICS experience on Legend!

Anyway, zeubea's ICS ROM now should have them.

Also voted

What must I do?
Well I'm glad to see the Legend is evolving again, but I'm a bit of a Noob in these things...
Should I (as just a user, not a dev) download these new drivers, and flash them?
Or are these new drives just for devs, to make new ROMs?
Sorry if this was just a silly question...

No, you can't simply install them. But nevermind, they will be used...

Well, then you actually know more than I do.
Maintaining the Gingerbread port doesn't mean I'm not looking into possibilities for ICS on the Legend – we're just not doing half-done crap-releases. CM is our baby, we treat it nicely.
I'm still here, my Legend's still working and it (and a lot of other CM7 devices based on capable msm7k chipsets) will get an ICS port once a few requirements are off our list of obstacles (quite big list, quite big obstacles).
One of these requirements – an Adreno driver for ICS – was just recently met and yes, I'm pretty excited about that. Unfortunately there's still one big piece missing (OMX).
