[ROMs][GPL] Tenzo's Stock "Plain" HTC 2.1 ROMs - 2.37.605.4 w/JulyOTA [10-01-10]
Many of my recent efforts have lead me to take a few steps back in discovering a few things (does that makes sense?). In working on fixes for 3GP Vanilla MMS and the 50% TWS "issue" I have put these together.
Should hopefully help others, especially those new to cooking that want an easy, trouble free base to start with (no "extra fonts" and no "updating" the JulyOTA manually).
EDIT: if you have "issues" with either wired or wireless tether, you can use the apk's attached below. (thanks Conap, bugger561, and T2Noob)
I have built all of these ROMs from the RUU and integrated the JulyOTA. All ROMs are deodexed. Information below:

I just flashed this and now I am having troubles getting wi-fi to work. Whenever I try to enable it, I get an error saying "Unable to start wi-fi". I wasn't having any problems previously with any roms and I just did a full wipe from KaosFroyo V35. Any ideas?

THIS HAS BEEN FIXED... SO PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST (UNLESS OF COURSE YOU DL'ED BEFORE I FIXED THE LINKS)

SORRY BOUT THAT!!!
I have the same problem on Tenzo-Official2.1-JulyOTA-Root.
Why don't you just flash PlainJaneT2 which is total Stock with A2sd, and are able to enable JIT through a2sd with By typing "a2sd jit"
Everything works, on it is pretty fast for a HTC rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718092
Just wondering Why you made another rom thats already out there...
I didn't mean to take over the thread just curious what the difference between PlainJane and this.
Another question is if you tested wired tether?
Because if you just dropped it in the rom I CAN GUARANTEE that it is not working, thats why I didn't add it to the rom, And If you did get it to work can you tell me how you did it?
If you included SETCPU i suggest you take it off if you don't want to have problems with the SETCPU developer later in the future..... A Member has been kicked because he included apps that developers had told him to get rid of.
This has the newest build of 2.1 by HTC. And wired tether has been updated to work on the Eris and incredible. Plainjane, even though it is older than this and T2 is still better for those who do jot care about JIT or A2SD. I've tried both as well as this and jcase's Rom features the most free memory. I uninstall a lot of stock apps and then add maybe 25-30mb of market apps. Plainjane left new with 95+mb free. This and T2 leave me with roughly 70mb.

hmmm
this is completely stock... no extra scripts, no extra fonts, no a2sd, etc. it's stock... with july OTA integrated and deodexed. that's all i did. can you point out where the other completely stock ROM with JulyOTA integrated is? If i missed it, i apologize. again... other than not trashing bootloader, recovery, etc, it's as "stock" as it gets. no symlinks changed in update-script, etc. again, this is the only stock ROM w/July OTA integrated that i've seen on the forum. did i miss something? (Official Obsession is close... but that requires you flash over the update. not easy for beginning cooks trying to customize a ROM... and it's not deodexed)
the "other" 2 ROMs are different as well... one is almost stock, with just latest ChainsDD superuser (root) added (no a2sd), with Conap's CFS kernel. the other is the same, with latest a2sd added (which allows the ability to add cache2cache as well).
i've enjoyed PlainJaneT2... and it is still my base for TT2.1. i've given full props to you with links and request even for donations in that thread. if i've upset you, again, i apologize.
also, no "extra" apps (setcpu, etc) are included... i know the rules
i'm not trying to "ruin" any experience for anyone... or step on anyone's toes. i'm just trying to help out and contribute. certainly have never tried to upset anyone on this forum EVER!

one thing you can do with a2sd 2.7.5.1 is run the cache on the cache partition.
adb remount
adb shell
a2sd cachepart
when it's done, it will reboot the ROM. pull the battery and clear dalvik (or else you'll get a few FC's when you reboot).
you can try the above with "a2sd cachepartreset" and it "should" clear dalvik for you... but it hasn't worked well for me

try the "new" DL and just flash over (no wipe should be needed). what does it say your "kernel" is under software info?

Why use this old 1.2 when the official 1.4 does it cleaner: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Perfect timing on this! My lady is techologically challenged and having a ROM like this is perfect. She kept busting my bawls about not having teeter... Every time I installed it via an APK it would always FC after a bit.
Edit this was on a different rom, so far only issue I've had with this rom is a FC when trying to auto-update google maps.

Like I said I was just asking and playing devils advocate I was gone for a month a half so I have no Idea of what happened I'm just catching up. Take no offense to what I said I was just curious.
first post updated w/new Cache2Cache version
What else do we need to start getting some custom roms like CM7 and others like XxVirusxX. What is need to take an AOSP and build it for our Elocity? I recently got and Evo 4g rooted is same day, now running CM7 rom, tiamat kernel, viper undervolt Is it possible to get these to work on this elocity?
its possible to port components and features of other roms, or to compile other roms for the a7. i compiled a clockworkmod recovery that i have posted on my twitter and elsewhere than you can use to conveniently backup/switch/restore roms and data with, which will aid in additional roms being made accessible, as loading them (and recovering from them) will be more convenient.
also gotta good /device setup for the naz10 going for use in rom compiling. mebbe i'll post it up for others when i have it near complete.
How did you get the clockwork mod to flash? Also I'm assuming you finished the key mapping that hadn't been done?

Oo of course, with out a doubt, Im just sitting back waiting for one of these great devs. Hopefully they got something good from the kernel Source
Sent from my Mynized EVo 4G
i might throw my sifted kernel source up for dev types to browse thru. just the added and modified source from elocity, not the whole package, so one can see what elocity did. pretty sure i spotted changed accelerometer settings in the kernel source that could aid in correcting that issue on a kernel level possibly.
i'm still moving slow without adb access. either have some service or kernel reconfiguration to do for that one. too many fun things to do, not enough personal time to get em all done swiftly.

Time will only tell and I got plenty of it
ayup, got the key mapping working with the latest clockworkmod recovery.
http://twitter.com/#!/bestialbub
it was confusing because it seems the newest version has a secondary back button. had to scratch my head a couple seconds until i figured to map it to the volume key and forget the key combinations for toggling display on and off.. tho power+search might toggle it (not really a useful feature of any concern).
oh, if you look at the devices existing keylayout, the volume or 'media_key' has the value of 213.
i left out instructions for flashing with apx on purpose. if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't, because i don't have a fix today for you if you break your device some how. i'll see about posting some complete apx backup scripts, along w/ a nvflash pack that doesn't have the added rom bloat + stock and my cwm recovery image. but that might be like in a week. i got that adb to work out, file permissions to finishing documenting for fun, and repacking the factory rom for cwm for fun.
nothing to exciting towards new features regular users will enjoy today, but something romheads/chefs/modders/themers will like to make software work and testing easier.
I Gotta get another male/male USB Wire, and I'll Be Watching out for Updated on This and Following you on Twitter no Also, Im Willing to try just as long as the directions are clear. Right Now im waiting on some HTC Sense 3.0 for the EVO. So im on XDA all Day haha

Awesome... <3
Either one would be awesome Amon ra or CWM recovery Wonder how much the tiamat kernels require to work for us?
cwm recovery is done and available for use. questions; leave at the link you download 'em from.
http://twitter.com/#!/bestialbub
i also have the factory rom repacked and install script made for use w/ cwm (and maybe factory) recovery. this should step up the ability for folks to mod and theme the existing roms. will post tomorrow, then mebbe post an nvflash/apx pack for backup/restore/recovery flashing before i get started on themeing to follow.
**Last update! This thread will (shortly) be locked, and a new one will be posted With Galaxian-Soup ICS Alpha 2
Check back in a few hours!
**Update, this tread will be retired and locked come this Thursday 1/5/2012
Read between the lines, and you will see that a brand new thread in its place will be posted, complete with a yummy new alpha of ICS for our dedicated fans to enjoy... We thank you for your patience, after this alpha goes out we believe tere will be more frequent releases and postings
Stay tuned, but from what I've seen so far we have many surprises in store for our next release, and you, is ICS nirvana just around the corner? Check back on thursday!
Please don't take this to mean we've fixed every outstanding bug, but we have made major core improvements, and fixed some of the big "items"
We are seaking anyone with expeirence working HAL's and drivers.. if you are interested please PM me.
TTFN!!
** Update ** Work around for voice search
It appears that voice search is broken in several AOSP roms, during my research I managed to get voice search working, however its the older version (prior to ICS). So far it seems to work fine!
So until Google fixes (or we do hah) do this to get voice search to work
Download
Voice_Search_2.1.4
Go to the location the this file was downloaded and from a terminal (linux/mac) or the command prompt (windows)
Code:
adb shell
su (if not root)
rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
reboot
Then side load adb Voice_Search_2.1.4
Code:
adb install Voice_Search_2.1.4.apk
After the install click on the microphone icon near search at the top left of the home screen, accept the permissions (you have to do this a few times, 3 by my count), don't panic if it asks a few times, it does stick.
Enjoy!
** Update** Happy New Year XDA and esp our friends with the Galaxy Tab 8.9! is this the year of the droid? We shall see!
Hey everyone I wanted to give everyone an update and general goings on! Im sorry to inform you that there will not be a New Years alpha, but we will have something for you all very soon after.
Here is a taste of what early 2012 will bring to Alpha 2.
1. We have decided to use ASOP source rather than Cyanogen Mod, this is primarily why there hasn't been a new release since xmas. After reviewing some of the initial bugs, and reflecting on what we accomplished in under 4 days, we decided we wanted the focus of this rom to become "best in breed" optimized for the Galaxy Tab 8.9. Meaning we are going to cherry pick the best features of both to create the best possible experience, with the lightest footprint, and most importantly stock ICS launcher! NoWiz, no Trebuchet. So far it has yielded very positive results.
2. Moving to ASOP and stock launcher has fixed one of the big bugs, automatic home screen orientation. I know more than a few of you were hoping this would be resolved fast, well there.. happy now?
3. MTD
4. General cleanup and optimizations have resulted in improved launcher response, it feels more fluid and less laggy...
5. Our repo is nearly finished, we are just ironing out some manifest bugs, when alpha2 arrives, so will our git links!
6. We have chosen a team name! Galaxian-Soup!
Thanks for supporting us, and we look forward to celebrating a "Droid 2012".
In the spirit of openness, if you would like to use our rom in your work please credit us in your OP and release notes. Our git repo should be up soon.
***Update*** Xmas Dinner Edition ***
Updated links to a 1.1 version, I added the livewallpaper.apks and re-zipped, no other changes.
and a newer version of Google Apps, seems to be more stable, but I've only been using it an hour, let us know!
Good Morning and Merry Christmas!
Is there something in your stocking for your GT7310? Well Santa Clause (in the form of _Motely, nycbjr, poisike, termleech (still need a team name!)) is delivering the first public alpha!
This build has been tested on the 7310 (Gtab 8.9 wifi, no 3g), and 7300 with no 3g (3g is being looked at).
Standard YMMV tag: You are flashing this at your own risk, make a nandroid backup first! If this breaks your tab we are NOT responsible.. now go play and have fun!
ICYXMAS-p5wifi-alpha1.1-cwm
icyGapps V2
Alpha V1 - ICYXMAS!
ICS 4.0.3_r1 vanilla
Rooted, deodexed,
Includes motley kernel v2e beta (see his thread for git details)
WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth
Installation:
In CWM recovery, clear your data/factory reset
Clear the dalvik cache (under advanced, or under the wipe menu in overcome cwm)
Flash the provided zip using CWM recovery
Flash gapps from CWM recovery
Bootup and setup your Google account
Install cpu control of choice, and set to interactive governor (this is required!)
*tested SetCPU, No-frills CPU control, and Antuantu.
Give it a chance, this is a deodexed ROM and will boot slow the first time and when you use apps the first time.
Doesn't work/Limitations:
WiFi-only, but 3G will be looked at for a future version (no ETA at the moment)
Camera doesn't work, don't know when or if it can be fixed.
Some video limitations, youtube HD vids not working. Some stuttering will occur until we get the kinks out.
Charger screen doesn't look correct when you plugin without booting up (charging status)
Voice search doesn't work - May have something to do with this error:
W/PackageManager(257): Failure retrieving resources forcom.google.android.voicesearch: Resource ID #0x0
Probably more that we haven't listed, this is an alpha - please let us know.
Team members:
nycbjr - project manager, dev (first working build), testing/troubleshooting
motley - lead dev, p5 device tree, final build, kernel development
poisike - pioneer testing with other tegra ICS ROMs, testing/troubleshooting
termleech - testing
Credits:
Google - for the releasing the OS
Cyanogen Mod Team - for their awesome git repo and developers. We used the p4 device tree as a starting point.
We would like to offer our p5 device if they are interested.
Samsung for the awesome device and kernel source (for HC 3.1 at least)
digetx - for pointing us in the right direction on the green frame buffer fix!
alterbridge - for his CWM Recovery port for 73xx.
JaeCar99 - for the sweet "Blue Hallway" bootanimation
I'm looking forward to a fully working ICS rom But a good thing takes time. Keep up the good work, guys!
great to see this development start

I would never turn down any help, I'm very new at this (long time sysadmin, but only been a droid head since march hah).
Only caveat is you will need approval from motley before I can release anything to you, for now you can PM me and I will give you my aim/gchat and offline email, but I think we should setup an IRC, or aim/gmail chat to make this go faster.
As this is coming from CM9 sources I need to contact them too, I don't want to flub any licensing issues, etc, and maybe they will want to help, or us to help them!
Awesome! Thanks fellers!
great work

As far as WiFi, the P4 (Galaxy 10.1) uses a broadcom 4329 and we (the P5) uses the newer 4330. This is where the challenge will come it. When I get a better look at the Android code and have a flash up and running, hopefully it will become clear if something needs to be done on the kernel side or the Android side. If we start making good progress, we will need to get a git setup for our P5 stuff so we can share changes and files etc.

I don't know... I just flashed my P7300 with P7500 rom and wifi driver loads just fine. I only edited the build.prop and used a kernel from overcome rom, i didn't touch anything else. Also if you look in \system\etc\wifi you will see that both 7500 and 7510 roms have bcm4330 files there, so it looks to me that the wifi card is the same as our.
I also tried the kernel you sent me with 7500 rom and wifi driver still loads.
this is awesome guys.. after the posts yesterday and staying up till 3:Am , I got the sucker booting.. of course that was it though. Great to see this post today.. Sounds like it's not too far off.. at least for me wifi would be the only thing left that's important since I havent touched the camera app or bluetooth yet.

for the record on linux to use broadcom it has to extract the firmware for the card, I don't think it has to for droid as in this case the firmware is provided to us. I should probably stop spinning my wheels and go back and read/learn more about how android treats these things.
I am all ears however, anyone with debugging exp can have the rom with permission to use the kernel from motly.
I don't think that the problem is in your build. I have tried 3 different builds and they all have the same error:
Code:
ERROR/WifiStateMachine(168): Failed to load driver!
ERROR/WifiStateMachine(168): DriverFailedState
So it looks to me that the problem is in kernel. Of course i could be wrong.
Also it looks to me that the bcm4330 driver source is posted on github (https://github.com/cyanogen/galaxy-2636/tree/ics/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4330), so i hope _motley finds time to take a look.

ok thanks I was looking at the source on my build system remotely, and the drive went oiffine, I think my ssd is going, so I'm going to get a new on on the way home. pisses me off!
Great work!
I'm seeing forward to try this out.

Sorry, I misspoke, the 10.1 does indeed use the 4330 like us...been looking at Iconia, Xoom, and ASUS TF1 ROMs too much lately.
Well other than the green screen affect, wifi, camera,bluethooth this thing really runs well.
HC was a pig for memory, as I noted on my Acer when I ran ICS for a bit, memory mamagment is hugely improved over honeycomb, I never had more than 200mb free on a regular basis, with ICS its well over 400mb.
and the thing really cooks along, I snap in and out of screens really fast, and angry birds works! haha
I will spend some time tonight on wifi, and making a new build.
poisike I'll setup irc tonight, I may have to rebuild the macpro, who knew running an os other than apple would cause a problem lol..

The otapackage build does spit out a file called "kernel" would that help you any?
I can drop it in my dropbox
actually there is a boot.img.cm9 in my alpha zip you have, but I can still upload just the file called kernel if yoi think it would help.
also once I have my macpro back in op I'm not against setting up accounts for you and poisike, or setting up our own git repo, would be beneficial to work against the same source once we zero in and attempt to create a working port for everyone.
oh and btw, your OC settings work, running ICS at 1.4ghz
This is great news!! Once the wifi is working, I'll be using this as my daily driver. Will this be a completely AOSP project or still based on TouchWiz. I wish I could have stock e-mail, calendar, etc.
Excellent news! I will be waiting patiently....

That sounds like it is just the zImage binary for their build, I think I remember seeing it there too. It won't do me any good. Sounds good about the repo. I can still browse the repos to look at code as necessary for the time being. Glad to hear that the OC is is still working good.
I just sent poisike a 3G kernel with the touchscreen fix so he can start working on that end.
"Don't wiz on my ICS!" haha
Many of us will use CyanogenMod 10 and Siyah kernel build by gokhanmoral, as it is maybe one of the best combinaison for a powerful and smooth device. My past experience with CM7 and Syiah Kernel show me some questions will hardnessly find a right place in the CyanogenMod 10 nightly builds | DISCUSSION THREAD neither in [KERNEL][ICS] SiyahKernel v3.0 thread. The issues you may experience could in fact be due to this specific combinaison, and when posting in CM10 thread you will be told to use only the custom Cyanogenmod Kernel, and when posting in Syiah thread you will be told your issue is CM10 relative and has nothing to do with the Kernel!!
Thus the idea to create an area dedicated to users running both Syiah kernel and CM10 ROM. They won't waste time posting and being flamed on both threads. I already can see some users jumping from one thread to another one.
When posting in this thread, you will lighten the main discussion threads, and browsing them will be easier.
Before you post, do a minimum of search in both threads to ensure there is not an easy and quick answer.
Then think twice, be as much as precise as you can when presenting your issue. We all will gain in efficiency and save our time.
Please keep this thread clean and useful in order to avoid "mass browsing". Refrain from flaming and adding to the crap ; do not offense, even in case of n00bish and stupid question; avoid any needless posts about your mood such as "Go Syiah", "Codeworkx, you are the best", "I love my phone" or any out of topic consideration.
learn a litle bit about BBC Code, and try to organise your post.
Be accurate and smart as much as you can. Answering will be easier and your post will help other users.
Both main threads are heavily busy, so I hope this one will help us in getting quick answers for both advanced users AND n00bs.

Kernel cleaning scripts
Most often, custom Kernels create special directories and config files. If you want to switch from one custom Kernel to another one, it is not a bad idea to run this script before flashing the new Kernel. It will do some cleaning on your file system by removing all custom tweaks let by the Kernel.

##My current configuration : [color=#ooBFFF]CM10-nightly-20121107[/color] + SyiahKernel [color=#ooBFFF]5.0.1[/color]##
##I am an Archlinux user, and some settings and way to operate are sometimes different from Ubuntu. So do not hesitate to ask here in case of any problem with Linux in general, and Arch in particular.##
Below is a list of major usage difference, known issues or tricks.
I will do my best to keep it up to date and exhaustive, according to my own usage of my SGS2 device and what I can read on the forum.
Noteworthy differences
Syiah Kernel use its own touch CWM. You can move around with touchscreen or screen buttons. When you backup, restore or install zip from sd card, use INTERNAL SDCARD instead of SDCARD (the opposite of CM9 practice).
Most kernel settings are done with an app called EXTWEAKS. This is a free app from Android Play. You need to give root access to Apps under Settings > Developper options > Root acess to allow EXTWEAKS to operate the changes. Settings from Extweaks will override the ones from CM9, like CPU govenor and clock speed.
Flashing Syiah kernel will install many .syiah folders and config files on your device. If you want to get rid of them when back to CM9 default kernel, flash syiah-resetdefaultprofile.zip (link to the file on his website under SiyahKernel v3.0beta3 section). It is NOT mandatory, as CM9 will be fully functional with these config files, but it is best to keep your system as clean as possible.
Using this kernel in the correct way, enjoying all the fine tunings, is not so easy and need a bit of knowledge. IF you have no idea about how work your CPU and GPU, stick to the default configuration. Wrong settings will cause malfunction, lags, glitches and make scrolling jerky.
Since version 3.1b1, dual booting is enabled. All settings are done in the Syiah custom CWM. It allows you to choose at boot time between two ROMs

DUAL BOOT CM9/B2G : A QUICK & DIRTY HOW-TO
DEVELOPMENT ON SGS2 HAS BEEN STOPED. IT SEEMS WE WILL NEVER SEE THIS OS FULLY WORKING ON OUR DEVICES
B2G is Boot To Gecko, a Mozilla OS for device project. I have been following it since a while, and it is a very active and promising OS for your SGS2. It is in its very early stage, so do not expect to use it daily, but it is improving very fast.
When Gokham talked about dual boot, I immediatly think to B2G, as I am not interested in any other custom ROM than CM9. Thanks to its new 3.2.2 Kernel, it is now very easy to give it a try.
The work has been done by PULSER, building the B2G image, and GOKHAM, for dual boot capability. So a warm thanks to both of them, and of course to the B2G Team.
I will come back in the coming weeks with a more fine tuned How-To, as I did the install in the rush this morning.
How-To
I did everything on Ubuntu 11.10. Windows users will use Odin, and I am sure it works with other Linux distro.
I assume you have SyiahKernel v3.2.2. on your SGS2
I assume you have a working SGS2/Linux communication. It means a working ADB, USB and Heimdall. I used heimdall 1.3.1, and some users report issues with 1.3.2. Furthermore, I used Command Line, as the heimdall GUI front-end didn't work for me, and I didn't take time to investigate.
I assume B2G will be your second ROM.
Download the last two files of the list here (system and data image):
http://villainrom.co.uk/pulser/B2G/
Untar <Boot2GeckoDualBootsystem.tar> and rename it <hidden.img> if Pulser haven't changed the name (was mistakenly named <hiddenfs.img>)
Unzip <data.img.zip> and get a 2G <data.img>
Boot your device in CWM Recovery.
As mentionned on SyiahKernel website, Mounts and storage > format /secondrom_data and /secondrom_cache.
Reboot your device in Download Mode.
Plug your device
Run this command is to make sure heimdall is working
Code:
$ heimdall detect
Device detected
It shall return <detected>
Code:
$ heimdall flash --hidden <PATH/TO/HIDDEN.IMG>
---- you will see progress until 100%. It hangs a litle bit around 88%, just wait.
Reboot device on Android
Run this command on Linux:
Code:
$ adb push <PATH/TO/DATA.IMG> </sdcard/.secondrom/data.img>
File is big, so it takes a while (a few mn).
Reboot. On the dual boot screen, you have 3 sec to press your Home Button. Then you shall see :
Booting for the second ROM...
IF second ROM doesn't boot quickly (around 10-20 sec), then there is a mess somewhere.
Normally, you will quickly boot to B2G Lock Screen.
!!At this state, you will have nothing more than the lock screen. You need then to make-isntall Gaia!!
Let's make-install Gaia now
1-Dirty and quickest way-TRY THIS ONE FIRST
I did not yet tested this shortest way. It will save you a lot of time cloning unusefull stuff from Git.
You may have in this case an error with adb. Try to copy your own adb executable in the path where make gaia is supposed to find it.
Plug your device running the second ROM, B2G.
Then:
Code:
$mkdir ~/B2G
$ cd ~/B2G
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
$ mkdir /glue/gonk/out/host/linux-x86/bin
==> copy your adb executable in this directroy. Check permission
$cd gaia
$ make install-gaia
This is very minimal, but shall work.
2-Academic way
Code:
$mkdir ~/mozilla/gits/B2G
$ cd ~/mozilla/gits/B2G
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G
$ cd B2G
$ make sync
Time for a beer...or two!! It takes long
Boot your device to second ROM, B2G now.
Plug your device to the computer.
Check if adb is fully working :
Code:
$ cd ~/mozilla/gits/B2G/
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
00194a183cd97e device
!!If you have no number and device, adb is not properly working on your system.!!
copy adb executable in /usr/bin
*EDIT : do not stress on adb, as in this case, when making gaia, an adb will be built.
Assuming you are still in the gaia folder
Code:
$cd ..
$ make install-gaia
ET VOILA.
You will soon see the gaia frontend.

On a serious note now first of all great posts you have made here. You have one way a right to be here so people can talk about the development issues that they are facing with the kernels but on the other hand this has nothing to do with development and you are actually not developing anything. Thus this thread should be moved to General Section and not here.
Plus there are threads of were people can talk about what they are facing on the perspective threads of the kernels that they are using. But anyway best of luck.
While the thinking and intention are good,I think this thread would best be put in the General or Q&A section,as it isn't development.
Anyway,the threads are already too cluttered,that's a fact...
Please, may a Mod move this thread to Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II General.
It has no reason to be under the development section.
Thank You
EDIT: Thread has been moved to a best place, as it is not mint to talk about development, but more of daily use.
This thread is a very good idea. Will be using it in the near future when I try cm9 again.

But gokhanmoral him self change his mind twice a day regarding the support of CM9.

2) Siyah wil NOT support CM9

No need for you negativity. If you don't think it will work. Don't use the thread.
There is a need. Because people are using siyah on cm9. Whether they will continue, another persons guess, but why do you have to point out the negatives. Is it to prove your knowledge to the contrary? Well done!
Just say nice thread, or even better, nothing if you don't agree and let people get on with it.

I was trying nightly 20120319 and siyah beta3 for a while and had no major issues.
In comparison to the kernel compiled by codeworkx, I had massive scrolling lags in trebuchet launcher with siyah.

My main idea remains : how can you create a thread about a kernel while in the same time the father of that kernel say that he wont support CM9..or maybe he would?
It sounds crystal clear that your thread is like talking about Galaxy SIV when Galaxy SIII isnt here
well actually Gokhanmoral said so himself:

that's all for now. I have to go back to work"
And I'm pretty sure his signature says 'cm9 nightly' as well...

Start to play a litle bit with CPU and GPU settings. Do not hesitate, it won't break your device. Just go step by step. You should quickly see some improvment.

it is not quite true that I won't support CM9.
actually, I am thinking about using it as my primary rom.
but there are some facts now: I am using Samsung ROM, I cannot test anything about CM9 and I am very busy.
those facts make it impossible for me to support CM9 now.
when I install CM9, it will be harder to support Samsung ROM. that is why I want to finish dual-booting.

I tried ondemand (default), interactive and smartassV2 .
All lead to the same result, very laggy scrolling.
Scrolling lags decreased with beta5, but performance still is worse than the CM9 kernel by codeworkx.
UPDATE: PDROID NOW AVAILABLE VIA BOTBREW:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26033156&postcount=10
First, for those who haven't heard about it:
PDroid
PDroid ICS Port
At this point, as far as I can tell, PDroid is only available as a patchset, not in any rom.
It looks like it is a lot more powerful than CM Permission Management.
The purpose of this poll is so Vibrant users can show interest in a rom with PDroid built in, hopefully motivating rom devs to add it.
I'll check this out tonight - looks interesting.

I'm not set up to develop at present, but I'll try any CM or ICS open-source rom that has this built-in, or an open-source zip to hot-patch it into said roms.
Yeah pdroid looks awesome! I asked about this in slim forum and cm forum somewhere around here but got no love lol... its really awesome permission management and if they add a firewall it would be a must need app that I would love to buy... you can use it with droidwall but it has leaks and allows access before it loads up on reboot... pdroid could block that from the start if it had a firewall incorporated tho... I look forward to the development of this awesome app.
Looks like we might get a try ourselves with an ics patcher in the not so far off future
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
An ICS patch does appear to be in the works.
As for CM, you're right, it will never have PDroid, and I'm really beginning to wonder if they will even bring any permission management into CM9. If you look at the PDroid patch, it's not a huge amount of code, meaning if Google wanted android to allow privacy, they would have added it long ago. But the frankly rather seedy business model of Google and many "free" app writers and Facebook is the harvesting and selling of personal information, and they apparently threatened to cut CM off from Market access if they added strong privacy.
Clearly the long-term solution is Google-free phones running Debian or Ubuntu, but until then, there's PDroid.

Nice. Where?
Pdroid working for AOKP and CM9
PDroid is finally available for AOKP and CM9 on T959 Vibrant via botbrew. Follow instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24934484&postcount=123 big thanks to mateorod for porting it over.
Hey guys-
UPDATE 6-5-12
I haven't had any requests for updated packages except for AOKP, so I can only confirm that AOKP Build 40 and CM7rc2 are currently supported! Any other ROMS are at your own risk! If you would like a ROM for vibrant or any other device to be supported, please post a request.
Okay, this is directions for PDroid support through Botbrew. Installing these packages over your nightlies will get PDroid working each time you flash, without having to patch every time. This way you can update your rom whenever you want.
Here is the XDA frontpage article about this exact process!
IMPORTANT: Eventually, the source code for these ROMs will change to a large enough degree that the packages won't work anymore! Just reflash the ROM and come report here at the thread. I will update the package as soon as possible (usually pretty damn soon, if I do say so myself...)
Directions
Install Botbrew from Google Play
Botbrew will bootstrap some packages necessary for its operation.
Install package repository-mateorod and press the refresh button.
There are three packages available at the moment for the Vibrant. Install the package that matches the ROM you are using.
android-framework-pdroid-cm9

New!
android-framework-pdroid-cm7.2final
For CM7.2 Final!
YOU MUST install the package that corresponds with your ROM, or it will result in bootloops!
Reboot!
Launch PDroid and configure.
That's it!
Note: You won't see any of the packages if you look while running CM7 due to an inconsistency in the cm7 build.prop.
If you have any questions about Botbrew or the process, here is a Q&A I have at the thread for my packages I host for the Nook Color.
If you have any questions about PDroid and the port to ICS, here is pastime1971's thread on the process. Thanks pastime!
Also thanks to c-pimp for the Team Gummy files! Also to svyat for PDroid and inportb for Botbrew!
cashmundy- could you maybe put a note in the OP about this being here? If you think I should start a new thread, I will. Thanks!
I confirm this is working with the 5-12 CM9 nightly. Thanks to mateorod and everyone he thanks in the post above!
Thanks, cashmundy. The problem was that cm9 has a weird naming convention for just your device, at least unique as far as I have seen.
I just changed the package to reflect your arch.conf.
So thanks very much for testing and finding the problem. I am pretty sure everything is OK now, but let me know!
Still on CM9. Did a reset, installed botbrew and your repo, and I now have no pdroid package.
As expected, botbrew fetched the CM9 props on install
, except that it down-cased the model to "sgh-t959".
arch.conf:
arch all 10
arch any 20
arch noarch 30
arch armeabi 100
arch armeabi-v7a 110
arch sgh-t959 120
build.props:
ro.product.model=SGH-T959
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=SGH-T959
ro.product.device=SGH-T959
ro.product.board=aries
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
Okay man. I took out the sgh-t959 package because I thought you said cm9 had vibranttmd as arch.
Are you saying that it changes whether or not you install cm9 as an update? Cause I don't see how that would be.
I am going to make it so Botbrew has cm9 packages for sgh-t959 and vibrantmtd. We'll sort it out for good later tonight when I have some time.
Thanks for your time and effort testing this stuff!
CM7 has vibrantmtd as ....device and SGH-T959 as ....model. CM9 has SGH-T959 as both model and device, as does AOKP. If you (or BotBrew) could use model instead of device, it might work well.
What happened before was I tried CM9 over CM7 without a reset. BotBrew didn't catch the upgrade, and so kept the conf from CM7. When I reset and then installed BotBrew, it found the new props and configured accordingly. A hook in BotBrew to check the current rom on startup and reconfigure itself on flashes would be a good thing.
I'm currently showing all three packages, version -9.
One minor note: somewhere you specify the BotBrew refresh button as being on the top right. On my phone it is always on the bottom left. Maybe more vibrant weirdness.
Final random thought: I'm not very impressed with CM9. It has some real drawbacks (the keyboard for example).
CM7 is still overall a lot better (to me) and if PDroid ever makes it there, I'll test it.
Well, I am still considering about cm7. Let me see.
Botbrew does has services you can turn on to configure at boot, as well as several ways it detects flashes, although most of those are centered around packages or the terminal.
But thanks for those tips, there is definitely some weirdness going on with the vibrant that I haven't seen elsewhere, but is good to know about because it could resurface in other devices.
But yeah, for instance, you could use light pad to turn your sdcard into a web server, and host websites off of it, so that's one of the services options.
There is honestly a world of stuff in the repo already, and he's about to add debian INSIDE android.
Crazy. Thanks, cashmundy. I will look into cm7.
Very cool.
I think I'll try AOKP again when a new build is out, and test the patch there.
One thing that would be useful would be a white-hat app which would request all permissions, gather all possible data, and display it. As it stands, we have to take it on faith that pdroid, droidwall etc actually work.
For the long term, I am very much hoping for Debian instead of android.

Hey guys-
Most everyone in this thread I already know from the port thread. I was looking for a good place to put out this info. Glad I didn't start another thread already!
Okay, this is directions for PDroid support through Botbrew. Installing these packages over your nightlies will get PDroid working each time you flash, without having to patch every time. This way you can update your rom whenever you want.
Here is the XDA frontpage article about this exact process!
IMPORTANT: Eventually, the source code for these ROMs will change to a large enough degree that the packages won't work anymore! Just reflash the ROM and come report here at the thread. I will update the package as soon as possible (usually pretty damn soon, if I do say so myself...)
Directions
Install Botbrew from Google Play
Botbrew will bootstrap some packages necessary for its operation.
Install package repository-mateorod and press the refresh button at top right!
There are three packages available at the moment for the Vibrant. Install the package that matches the ROM you are using.
android-framework-pdroid-cm9
For Cyanogen9 ROMs
android-framework-pdroid-aokp
For AOKP Milestone builds
android-framework-pdroid-aosp-gummy
For Team Gummy AOSP builds
YOU MUST install the package that corresponds with your ROM, or it will result in bootloops!
Reboot!
Launch PDroid and configure.
That's it!
Note: You won't see any of the packages if you look while running CM7 due to an inconsistency in the cm7 build.prop.

Ok, at the risk of annoying someone (due to my noobness) I wanted to ask if I could do the above for my kindle (which i just flashed with AOKP milestone 5) or is the above strictly for the sammy vib?

The Vibrant is I think the most recent device, and the BandN Nook is supported,
so I expect the Kindle will be someday.

If you run cm9 or aokp, I can take care of you.
Post your services, core, and services.jar plus build.prop at my packages thread so we keep this vibrant only.
Thanks for your interest.
