Build 23412

Hi guys,
does anz one ported an new build 23412 ?
thanks.

Although this is a question about ROMs, it is not a development thread.
Also, please search next time. If you don't see it on that thread, it hasn't been posted so no one will know.
As far as builds go, it's a little unstable so I haven't bothered with it, yet. I'm waiting for its features to be backported to the COM3 branch (the 23053 I have is built upon that.)

You really don't want it. It's not as stable. I have problems sometimes when I try to execute a favorite webpage link from File Explorer. Its just small stuff really.

link for MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6 - or another recommended build

hi,
saw a post recommending the above build - can't seem to find a link for the same though. would recommend a link or a link for another recomended build. just trying to move from windows to android - a little late. also saw a post for a step-by-step guide but would appreciate it again if you can recommend one please.
thanks for your patience and help

Recommend a ROM is not that easy, depends on what you want

thanks. a build that works would be nice and that feels like the desire sense maybe or a link to the one from mdj?
thanks

MDJ's builds aren't allowed anymore due to him not agreeing to the GPL code or something (Not releasing his code).

[Q]Compiling AOSP for specific device - basic driver question

Please forgive my noobness to this subject.
I have set up my build environmetn (almost) and was originally going to compile CM7 from source, but this is not really what I want. I just want to compile an AOSP rom from google source for the HTC desire.
I have the latest drivers from the latest 2.3 leaked rom in a flashable zip format.
Can I just compile the AOSP rom for Nexus one (similar hardware) and flash the drivers afterwards or do they need to be compiled with the source?
I am very new to this and have been trawling the web for a few days but can't seem to find the right answer for this.
Please could someone point me in the right direction?
<Edit> I have been looking at this http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html</edit>
I haven't posted this in the desire development forum as its not really the right place, but don't feel Desire Q&A is relevant either.
Thanks in advance

Ideos X5 WIKI -Please Help to Update-

Hi all
There is a wiki page set up for the Ideos X5 devices. It may well be helpful in splitting the useful info that you good users have added to this forum. Please feel free to edit it appropriately, but please remember this is most helpful to newbies so be as clear and conciseness with the information you add. It could become a great resource if everybody gets behind it. Feel free to use this thread to bounce ideas around for it.
Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 WIKI Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Huawei_U8800_IDEOS_X5
Thanks to PaulMilbank for bringing this to my attention.
Take it easy
O_G

Updated a bunch of stuff on the Wiki, now has a lot more order and info. I have only got a couple of days experience with this forum though so others with more experience can now improve on my page editing. It now has a separate section for u8800 and u8800 pro roms so hopefully that helps.
It needs to be updated in the recovery section as I have just listed all the recoveries I can find, but some are really old and I don't know which recoveries are for what version. EG: 5.0.2.7 from genokolar seems to be for the 2.3.5 update, but does it work with 2.2.2 and below roms?
Paul

well done
i think that the most important thing now should be to understand why huawei's links to download stock roms are all offline....for example i need the stock vodafone branded firmware for my u8800pro but the link is broken

Would be great to have those, but they dont seem to keep older links.
Maybe we should start another thread pulling together all the known to be good rapidshare, multiupload etc mirrors of those files and get people to contribute their links.

this should be the simplest. solution.
BTW, i have looked for the stock 2.2.2 vodafone-branded firmware but i was not able to find it on the net.

Wiki now has a common problems section with some fixes and workarounds listed.

good thanks

here is the new Ofiical 2.3 - 31.12.2011 - Normal ,but i cant edit the wiki page,can someone add it?

Wiki not works for me.

If someone has gathered all ROMs from Huawei, he/she can send it to me and I will host them on my PC, apache server with 20Mbps uplink. I can give FTP access and www directory.

Can someone confirm or deny this rom?

I tried to use the link by removing the stars and it doesn't get anywhere so not sure what V100R001C00B540G001 is compared to the V100R001C00B522G001 release which is supposed to be the final.
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDM2NDk= this is the link Huawei gave on facebook as the final release.

The link of B540 is for U8800+. Here it is: http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/down...DownloadFile&flay=softw are&softid=NDEwNTY=华为

w0w great.

i have some, not all, i can search for you

there are not any info about u8800-51

why all link from huawei are offline?

I think they just don't store them for long. Manufacturers probably dont want people messing with their phones and breaking them then just restoring an image before returning it under warranty.

I had no problems with the update or on the download. Great improvement on this rom.
Always good to give a new life to our phone

I've updated the U8800 ROMs.

[Q] How to develop ROM?

Hi,
I want to know how can I make my own ROM using paul's ICS sources or build it from the CM9 sources, which software I need to use and is this tut good for beginning?
www(.)theunlockr(.)com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/?
PS: I also want to add the reason why I don't contact with paul is that I wanted to learn & develop it only for me & mine friends
Ofc. for X8 and on nAa kernel ;3

do you know JAVA atleast?
EDIT: wait, you want only to make the build, or to work on the rom and on the source?
EDIT2: Wrong section btw, you should asked on Q&A's

Java on basic level, I do not know any of it's APIs but I can learn them ( I don't know Android API too )
C/C++ on intermediate level
First build it from source, after successful modify source and compile ROM.
MOD: Please move to Q&A if possible, thanks.

You could read my thread (look at my signature). I wrote all the stuff you need to know of ROM-compiling. There's also a thread about kernel making.

Thanks at all, you got the point. I'll try to compile it using yours tut and post result here And one more thing, developing CM9 for X8 build for which phone i need to base on? And where I can get hmmm... X8 Driver sources? Adreno libs and others?

Right now we don't have sources for X8. You need to port most of libs. You could also paul-xxx's drivers from his github. Good luck If you have some questions PM me, I'll help if I'll be able to.

doixanh based his GingerDX ROM - based on Gingerbread - on the Hero source tree. If I recall correctly I read somewhere that a CM9 port to the HTC Hero exists; that might be your best shot as the phone is about the same specs as the X8.
And as eagleeyetom wrote: You either use paul-xxx's drivers or you reverse engineer the Eclair drivers and write them anew from scratch (if your thought was going into the direction of the kernel) - there's no CM9 port for the X8. Your best option would be to try and find devices having a matching hardware component and porting the drivers from there - but chances are pretty slim that other phones use the same hardware SEMC stuffed into the X8.
---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Update: paul-xxx also maintains a GIT repo with a msm7227 kernel ...
paul-xxx / semc-kernel-msm7227-ics
EDIT: Along with some other interesting repos ...
- android_hardware_qcom_camera
- Xperia-TI-Wlan
- android_device_semc_msm7x27-common
These three at least seem to relate to the X8 "Shakira"

Thanks all for help, now I have some basic workaround with this
And one off topic question
ICS is running on 3.0.3 kernel, yes? So why we don't try to port it for X8 and using old 2.6.xx?

It seems the genuine Google AOSP ICS is running Linux 3.0.8
Porting the Kernel might turn into a huge effort. The ABI of 2.6.29 and 3.0 are not really compatible, so the kernel drivers would need to be ported to the CM9 3.0.x series - in case a simple patching them into the kernel tree and trying to compile bombs out with tons of make errors.
Apart from that - the main problem with ICS on the X8 is that a whole lot of devices can't use a custom kernel as a change in the hardware (devices of 11W29 and newer) prevents boot loader unlock.
We could try to see if the CM9 kernel could be slapped into shape ... I got a Quad-Core Phenom II to tackle that task - if someone wants to help out in the research if some msm7227 / Shakira specific parts would need to be patched into the source tree because they aren't part of it.
EDIT: Even the official CM repo uses Linux 2.6.37.6 as their kernel, and the progress on the FXP Kernel seems to have come to a halt; at least I can't see any new stuff in the -shakira repos.

LG GT-540 has ICS on 2.6.35 kernel. Maybe we could try to port Arc's kernel. Maybe this one? Recommend me some C/C++ books to learn basic stuff

You want this book's in english or you prefer in our native? ;3

This is a rather tricky question ...
If you do as I did simply Google up a C/C++ Reference/Tutorial (i.e. http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/book/c_guide/ or http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) and get going ... you already got gedit to code up .c files, and gcc is also part of your Linux distro to try and compile your "hello_world.c" You could also Google for Online Classes (in the like of http://www2.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/) and pick whatever suits you.
However, if you want to read real books ... look through the offers of Addison Wesley and pick what you think is the best book for you. You could also hit up your closest public library and see what they have in store (may be cheaper than buying in case you don't have much money to spend) - or, in case you study, you may want to look into your University's library.
Of course you could also start off with the usual "C/C++ for Dummies" or "Teach yourself <whatever> in 7|14|21|30 days"

Polish would be awesome ;P

Best, simply writed polish C/C++ tutorial, one of the best www(.)warsztat(.)gd/tutorials.php?x=category&id=18
In adddition you can search for ( it's a big ebook ) Symfonia C++ Grębosza ( Symphony in C++ ), you can find it on chomikuj.pl but if U want I can upload it somewhere for you
And if you will have any problems with C/C++ you can write to my GG number 10037533 or PM me here
