People I have big hopes in miui now!

And once again a thread about miui by the same person blah blah bl..
Yes fine but i do actually have something this time!!
As shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1hVXPiuo6Q&feature=related
does the acer liquid thing run miui
Tere the blade's specs http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_blade-3391.php
And
The liquid's specs http://www.gsmarena.com/acer_liquid-2968.php
The screen is the same the cpu of the acer is faster but the blade has the double ram (i have the 5mp/512mb ram version)
So why not?
I would love to help and i wont say that i don't have time since that would be a lie.
I'm willing to help everywhere i can.

Acer have snapdragon CPU, blade have arm v6 CPU, MIUI not supporting arm v6

That shouldn't be a problem.
Its still android and if we find a supported kernel will it work.
a cpu is a cpu. android is android. a kernel is a kernel. Three simple things that will make it possible.

Miui is compiled for armv7 it wont work unless miui devs release source

Plus there doesn't seem to be many people that interested in it now (at least from what I've seen on Modaco).

:C
Oh yea i forgot it was closed.
****..
anyone up for a kingdom sense port ?
No really. would that work?
or does it only support arm7 cpus too :/
because if will we just port sense 2.1 (2.3.3) from the desire s c:
i would do it! even if sense is a little sucky
we would spend some time on something then :3
anyone up for it?

If it possible, it would be excellent !

Yes c: i think it will be possible we can use stuff from the wildfire s since it has an arm11 or whatever cpu too :3
i know a little about porting i've helped with the GT540 sense port (which never worked out :/)

If a portage is possible, the base would that of HTC Salsa, or maybe the Desire ?

Sense defiantly will not port, miui may. i am not too sure. I can try give it a go once im done with porting the 2x

Why not?
It worked fine on the P500 GT540 SGS DROID Defy But Look the P500 and GT540 (have/had them both) Have the same cpu and less ram than the blade so why not.?

[Q] Android 3.0 on Xperia X8?

I have heard that some guys managed to port Android 3.0, better known as Honeycomb, to the G1, HTC Magic and to the Nexus One.
This are of course very beta versions, but the phones boot with it.
So, I wonder if someone could port 3.0 to our Xperia?
The HTC Magic and G1 were the first phones with Android, so our Xperia must be much better than them and, theoratically, it could work on it with just fewer lags than on the G1.
There are so many 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs available for our Xperia, so why not try to port 3.0?
If you think this is a stupid thread, just remove it, but I just wanted to know it.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

USE SEARCH FEATURE ON XDA AND YOU WILL FIND IT. Don't be lazy

You must be new here!

you will get burned at the stake by the guys here for opening such thread xD we are struggling to get a 100% bugless working android 2.2 and you bringing up android 3.0 which is meant for tablets with big screens xD lol
Edit : also such question is not meant to be in the dev section....

It was just a noob question...I also said that the versions for Nexus One, G1 and Magic are very beta versions.

There used to be an early version of Honeycomb somewhere here but the project has been abandoned. And no wonder - our kernel cannot even run Gingerbread without bugs, not to mention higher versions...

Even the kernel supports it, maybe phone will be too much laggy, as the HoneyComb suggests the need of 1.0Ghz processor, that is not our Case

So why they can run it on G1?
Does it have an unlocked bootloader, so you can flash a custom kernel?

Graveir and aldee_s are right: someone has already ported it, but development is currently down.
here is the thread to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982384&highlight=honeycomb

Blagus was disappointed with that, the only one that i saw making some progress was maxfron, but I didn´t saw him anymore

That had it ported but far to laggy m8 r CPU 2 slow at the min but I think I may still have that download ill cheack for u and upload it if so
my civic

Is because our phone is not ARMv7 & above and the processor speed is not super fast..if u port it into x8 it will buggy & lags in all of the function

Lets wait for 2. 4 but google need so much time : #

What features the X10 misses after Gingerbread (what do we need from developers)

I am just trying to combine all the required things in here so that it is easy for a developer or a newcomer to the world of the Xperia X10 to know what the phone really lacks.
1)Real Multitouch:
After the debate whether the chip of the X10 is Cypress or Clearpad, no progress was made in that direction even fixing the buggy dual touch we have (cross-axes problem) giving us a full dual touch.
2)16 million color:
yes, it may not be so crucial to anyone, but really why don't we get a puppy while we can unleash a dragon, and who doesn't want an extra feature in his phone?
(Thanks Z for the Bravia Engine and the FPS uncap).
3)Unlocked Bootloader:
This is the big deal and the door to unleashing the X10, Custom ROMs and Kernels will be much better, features that SE don't want us to get will be easily achieved (MT, 16M, even porting other OS like WP7 or MeeGo or ice cream sandwich :O), developing for the X10 will be easier and more open, and we would really get a phone that can compete with the Arc.
P.S.: I would like to thank the developers working on the X10 now Z, J, Ericwill, Achotjan, Wolfbreak, Cobrato, Doomlord, kxhawkins, Androxyde, ThJap, viousAD, & Trip.
Guys, without you the X10 would have been a bulk of **** staying in the eclair era with one touch and nothing would have improved, your work has saved us a lot, and we are asking you not to leave us because we really like you.
Please if you have a feature or anything that you feel missing from the phone you can post it, it is just a collection of the flaws in the X10.

I agree with op as well. We certainly need the bootloader its what keeps us from unleashing the beast heck I wouldn't be surprised if x10 is faster than arc

couldn't we achieve the custom kernels on gingerbread using the bootloader bypass thing?

I think the devs are waiting for se to release kernel sources

OP
I Agree.

I think the problem is and always has been having a developer who can write the drivers. Until then, I don't think it matters.

It's much more complex that it seems.
Not even OEMs (SE, HTC, Motorola, you name it) write the device drivers for themselves.
Most of the source is provided by the hardware manufacturer (qualcomm, atheros, broadcom) - and a huge part of it is under NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
Without the thorough documentation and source code examples, it's highly unlikely to write any device driver by your own
Obviously, you could try to reverse-engineer stuff, but it's a "rocket science", even for experienced developers/companies.

Stop calling developers some glorified copy pasters of cyanogen mod files.

True.. without source code it becomes string theory.

I meant to mention things that aren't yet developed for the X10.
A feature that was exciting but was pulled back is the ability to dual boot two roms using xrec 1.0, I liked it despite never using it because it would be beneficial for the future usage :]

At least I thought that in future devs can make dual touch fully working but Z says its not possible without sources

Wifi Proxy
I thought this new GB will include the support proxy setting. I have seen in some ROM I forget which one it was that have the proxy setting in it.
I know, this is sad, for lots of school, and corporate that have proxy server, most android phone/tablet are not able to connect to the net. This is a big thing if the android want to get to some of corporate and the education sectors of the market.
I hope the DEV would do something that could enable this proxy feature.
Since day one that I have the X10, I have been disappointed with the lack of this feature.
Not to mention that it also lack of the Cisco IPSEC VPN setting as well.

i did'nt ask for a dual core implement or 32 finger multi touch i just asked for a precise dual touch which SE Fails to provide me with!

ICS or not ICS: that is the question

As in title, can we hope to see Ice Cream Sandwitch on our Tattoo sooner or later (maybe through CyanogenMod)? The Android team said that EVERY phone that had Gingerbread can have ICS: it's the same for the Tattoo or it's not doable due to the limited hardware (I also mean screen size)?

i really hope we can see this happen
but for now i think it's to early to say. high end phones have no info yet, so we gotta be very patient ICS source is not out yet...
so for now, we are happy that we have 2.3.7 which isn't on many high end devices
this is a nice read
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-what-happens-next

We have to wait until Google releases the source-code. After that, we can see if our device will be able to run ICS

I have actually given up the hope to upgrade my tattoo further than 2.3.7, because I don't feel that my phone can use the new features in 4.0 so what's the point ^^ GPU Accelerated UI and better dual core support isn't very much for the tattoo. The ride with my tattoo has however been really nice, and it was a really good way to get introduced to android Galaxy Nexus here I come?

Hi Guys,
What do you think about this?

Looks like there's a chance to get ICS in our Tattoos

I have checked it yesterday.
stelios97 has ported it to both X10 mini and wildfire,
so there is very good chance that we can have ics miui for tattoo.
But then I wonder, is there any dev still holding a Tattoo to help us.

Would be really nice to have MIUI on our tattoo.
It would even be better than having ICS!

http://shrewdgeek.com/2012/02/04/xiaomi-makes-miui-gingerbread-2-3-7-open-source/
all we need is to get it compiled for ARM v6

Where are the developers for tattoo roms?
Arco? Kalimocho? rallapag? you've also done some ports, didn't you?
can someone port MIUI to our tattoo?
i don't know much about android rom development, but i think it wouldn't be much more work to port this miui rom than port some sense roms. a wildfire version is already available.
Its more some driver related things, i think
can someone try it please?

Hi .dot
You know, I am not a dev.
What ever I do, I am afraid it will be incomplete like my sense 2.3 rom port.
We need a real dev, unfortunately Arif-ali as well gave up working on Tattoo yesterday has indefinitely stopped android development.

ics
i really hope that there will be a new rom.cause i´m a little bored with my tattoo and the nfinity-rom. i hope that the dev will start to work on it..it would be fantastic!PLEASE

[Gen8] ICS on Gen8 (A70S) preview

Hi All,
Here is a quick preview of my first ICS build running on my A70S:
It's smoother than my initial run, I figured that 3D drivers were not kicked in when I made the comment on my other thread.
It's quite smooth even though there is some slowness from time to time. As it is, it's not usable, there are some crashes because network and sound are not working, but it's quite encouraging.
I may focus on Gen8 more than Gen9 finally as Gen9 will have Archos upgrade. Currently, only 3D and touchscreen are working... Don't expect much, I don't have enough time to work on this to make significant progress quickly.

Great...finally is something!!!
I you want some help, tell me....ok?

Looks great, that launcher is really smooth and it looks like a completely new OS.
Is there any chance that other talented developers working on the Archos will also jump on this with you? $aur0n, divx118, chulri?

God i cant wait for this give me wifi and i will be happy whats ram usage like?

for the buzz
http://www.jbmm.fr/?p=24894

Well, as expected, ram usage is sky high but it's almost untuned... I don't know yet if we can make progress regarding this.
I want first to have wifi and audio working, it should give enough stability to start playing with it. Then, todo list is huge...
Things that are going to be difficult is hdmi, ics doesn't like much the current clone model, and supporting other tablets as kernel changes are required for touch screen.
We'll see... Too bad that I have a job

Awesome!
Great work man! Looking forward to a full release_

YES!
This... Is amazing.. I never thought I'd see the day where even Honeycomb was running on the tablet. I really hope the main devs here see this and maybe combine. It's awesome having such a fine-tuned and packed UrukDroid, and it's pretty great finally seeing Gingerbread on our devices, but I think this is the true goal now!.. But that's just me

Am i right by assuming you used the 2.6.35 kernel sources?
I guess we'll need some efforts in the drivers, especially the tiwlan stuff, which should be build externally.

This is a start... and a pretty amazing one!!!
Hopefully i'll find some time the next weeks to look into the kernel sources more intensely.
Anyway, it will be no easy task to add the missing parts.
For the HDMI i guess there is a dead end, because there's still one proprietary module which might not work with newer kernel.
Maybe it could work on top of the GPL'ed parts which where published and might get compiled for newer kernel.
But who cares now...
Really impressive work!!!

No, in fact, this is 2.6.29 with Archos 3D binaries. ICS is patched to support old drivers, partly the same way it has been done in cm9 for other devices. I didn't test the .35 yet, I suspended my work on it in the middle, I'm not even sure touchscreen was working.
.35 would be good, I'm having few crashes in 3D drivers currently. I'm not sure yet if they're related to memory or bad interaction somewhere, still trying to get audio and wifi first.
Wifi should be relatively easy, i'm not very far. Audio is more complex, I tried simple solutions and it won't cut it, but with TI and Nexus S sources, we should be able to do something. Could take time though.
For the HDMI i guess there is a dead end, because there's still one proprietary module which might not work with newer kernel.

Well, with the new A70s coming with Honeycomb, we may be able to steal some binaries for 2.6.35 (or even 3.0 if Archos upgrade them to ICS). They're also 3630, and we should get the kernel source code someday.

Well, as it is, it's not usable. It crashes a lot and you can't do much without network.
I'd like to have at least wifi and if I can sound. Wifi to be able to do something with the tablet, sound because lots of crashes and slowness are coming from missing sound.
If it takes too much time, I'll release it but be warned that it's worthless currently.
