Hey guys.
I am new to android developing.
I started by porting the CM10.1 ROM from HTC Desire, but my phone is stuck at the Huawei logo when it boots up.
I can still flash another ROM, but that is not the problem.
I want to know how to fix this. I want it to go past the Huawei Logo.
By the way, I used this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713 and I used Aurora ICS 5.0 for the base ROM. I know it doesn't have the same version of android, but there is no reason I shouldn't be experimenting like this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

You can't port CM10.1 ROM to ICS ROM as base. That is inpossible.

I know, but it is not completely impossible.
I also tried to port it with CM10.1 that you are trying to fix, but I still get the same thing.
I will setup logcat and upload the information here.
Thanks.
Need to ask something
Hey again.
I haven't had time to do anything to my phone yet.
I am replying to ask if there is an awesome tutorial out there that could help me with this porting?
Currently, to port my ROM, I replaced files in port ROM from base ROM. Should I replace files in base ROM from port ROM?
Thanks for the help.
Hi Again
Hello.
I found out that there was a problem with the base ROM.
I have ported CM10.1 from U8800! Yaay!
But there are four things that are not working:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Cam Recording
- Sound
Can you guys tell me how to fix the audio? In the logcat, it says that there is no sound output.
Thanks

Hey guys.
I've got the log attached to this reply. Have a look at the audio events and see what is wrong. I can't figure it out by myself.
Thanks
When will you releasing it fully functional?

I have just ported the Jelly Bean from u8800pro to u8800non-pro, so I will be working on this ROM.
Seriously, I have no idea when I will be releasing a fully functional ROM. Because I have my studies as well, so I don't get much time to work on the ROM.
The audio is working in this ROM (wasn't working in the previous port),
The things that are currently not working are:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Video Recording
I will try my best to do as much as possible.
I am new at building android ROMs, so please don't expect too much from me
I will be needing some help from other developers as well.
Do you think I should make a thread for this? or is there already enough not-fully functional JB ROMs there?
Thanks.:good:
Lololololol ridiculous!
Another porting, same issues...
How many are now? 4, 5 Jelly beans?
Ooo man, some times is just better to stay quiet....

I know how you feel. I also feel that way.
I would like to build Jelly Bean from source, like Blefish is doing right now, but I need a 64bit computer for that (mine is only 32bit. Unless there is a hack for this, I can't build from source.
I think everyone is going to start porting Jelly Bean ROMs until one starts working. :silly:
Everyone is porting the rom with the intention of making ir fully working and then abandon development. Why don't you and others continue the work that is already done instead of making a new port which will end up like the others.
Like your are having compatibility issues due to your 32bit computer, perhaps our device is incompatible with JB...

Our device will remain compatible with every new android untill android will be using some new architecture of processor, so "sometimes it's better to stay silent".
OP, abandon your trials of getting a working JB using copy-paste ports. It can be only ported from source.
P.S.: just install ubuntu x64 and try to build something like CWM recovery out of forumber's source. If it builds, you can build anything you want. Today's computers know how to emulate x64. I'm myself using an old pentium d 820 (i386, sse2 and that's all) and I can build.

That I don't know for sure but I believe our is. But why 4 or 5 JB around, all with exactly same issues
Now I and others also pick up a JB Rom, mod it here and there and then instead of 4/5 roms we can have dozens. Then again non working well. This makes sense?

It's still same ROM with other features.. It isn't simply fix Wi-Fi without source.

Because most of devs or those who like to be called developers don't have required knowledge and then leave the project as an excuse.
Honestly I have no hope that we can see a JB rom fully functional.

So I can install ubuntu x64 on my x86 laptop? Are you talking about a virtual machine or installing ubuntu x64 on the actual laptop?
And as for others: Instead of saying that JB is not compatible with our device and all that sh*t, why don't you encourage me and give me some solutions.
Anyways, I am not posting this JB ROM until it's fully functional, because I might stop development as well (getting interested in firefox os).

First of all,your CPU must support x64,If it supported,you can install x64 to you computer.
If you want install x64 system in virtual machine (like VirtualBox),you CPU must support VT-x or AMD-V (virtualization).
You can check virtualization and x64 support via SecurAble;

Hi
I see USB host now works on ICS based roms, but what about CM7? More specifically TyphooN CyanogenMod 7. The reason I ask is because I want to test USB class Audio devices, and there is no point in me getting a USB DAC if the groundwork is not laid down.
I know CM7 supports USB class audio, but whether the ALSA drivers are used in this build is beyond me.
Note: It is quite important because Manufacturers like Fiio are investigating making products specifically for modded android phones that support this - sort of like the VentureCraft Go-Dap and the iphone.
Thanks

Thanks! now I just need to find a way to ask tytung to put it in his kernel.... so it can filter through to my Typhoon CM7 rom
Any progress on this? i don't see it filtering through to any kernels or ROMS officially?
on either 2.3.x or 4.0.x, Or is it due to the ADB errors it causes?
Mozilla have launched Firefox OS based on Linux kernel ... Its open source ... I would like any of our good developers to look forward towards developing this OS for our phones
More detail here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/b2g/
would be hard if there's no propietary driver kernel source..
It's possible.
Here's manifest: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest
I'm too busy to port it for now. Maybe someone else can do that.
i will give it a try to port it
This isn't android based... it's not a ROM it's an other OS... i think if it's possible it will be very hard
i have knowledge of unbranded os types
It's not android. But it is linux and android is also linux, so I think drivers can be ported from android to this, no (though no api stuff and such will be the same)?
I assume it'll be hard, much harder than ics and jelly bean, but still possible.
But I also think that it won't run as good/smooth as ics and in the future jb will run.
So it might run, but if it's useful is another question...
Nevertheless it would be awesome to see it running on the gio.
Also does it need to run on it's own or is it possible to run it on top of the android kernel? If this is the case then it becomes rather easy as we have enough stable android kernels for the gio.
Marcin, is that the purpose of the link you posted?

Of course not. It's based on android, so the core shares a lot with the core of android. This doesn't make it android.
The whole os is (except for the core stuff) web based, which probably means all apps need to be written in html 5 or maybe other web standards.
So android apk apps don't work, and so it makes no sence including them.

Here are sources for android ICS on GIO. Since the manifest uses android 4.0.4 I think you may need to use some things from this (don't forget to mention Maclaw and Marcin if you do).
Soon this will be updated to JB I think, I don't know if FFOS works with JB as well or it specifically needs ICS though.
About firefox OS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
So it's not entirely android based. It only uses some parts for some of the hardware.
thanks for the sourches
It's based android. Because s2 users can install it.

How much android is really in it? Mozilla made it so that it can run on devices that run android. So they probably just mean ARM with a certain ammount of ram etc...
Wikipedia says it's a linux kernel, some components of android for hardware communication, mozilla's own api's for app -> hardware communication such as phone, cam, speakers etc, and last but not least the gecko engine.
So if the kernel used is the same as the one used for android then you could use maclaw (and team)'s ICS kernel + the android stuff needed, merged with the b2g sources.
I'm not really a dev so it's probably a lot harder then what I'm saying here. But I think it's easier then a fully fledged android...
Were you able to boot something already?
Hi,
I've published a new git repository github.com/U8800Pro for our phone
I've started my work by forking G300 Dazzozo repository since he his actively working to Ascend G300 and he already get Firefox OS and Ubuntu phone port to his phone, and he is the only I found that get a CM-10.1 working on huawei devices.
Actually with my repo you can build from scratch a "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.9" with huawei 3.0.8 kernel built from scratch using gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease).

well good luck! If you got the skillz make a working 10.1 first,firefox and ubuntu haven't even sort out their initial build bugs,i think porting a buggy beta release is a waste of time but its your time,so have fun with it..!
I don't want to guess who and when but if someone will try to make new kernel properly I would like to emphasize the kernel bug which is a bit annoying.
Camera pixels displacement.
When you try to make a photo vertically 5MP quality it has several pixels wide picture displacement and in result you get photo with (in most cases) white line at left border.
If you change quality to lower it is not appearing. If you make photo holding phone horizontally this is also not occurring.
Some times you can even see that this line at left border has image parts which should actually should be placed at the right side of the picture seems like that line was cut out from right side and placed to the left border...
Since it is just in few pixels wide it is not making picture completely bad but as I said it is annoying.
I also saw pika has release new version of kernel so as I said I would not like to ask any exact person for this to take care but if someone will succeed please consider it as a bug that is needed to fix in kernel.
p.s. about g300 I bought that one for my wife so 4.1.2 is not for daily use. only 4.0.3/4 based on stock is reliable
p.p.s If that is not related to kernel that who could look at this prob? it is with most of 3.xxx kernel using roms
good work eddi, ubuntu touch work on g300 but is very very slow tested by me with my friend's phone

I seriously feel we should work on ICS or CM10 first to make them better and the first and the foremost thing to do is..To get a higher kernel than 3.0.8.. anyway thanks for sharing the GIT

I don't know if some of you know Sailfish OS, but its an OS that is not based on Android with an outstanding UI and UX.
And developers can port it to Android based devices like ours \o/
So I took the hand and compiled Sailfish OS and Android, but unfortunaly I don't really have the time to test since this is my only phone.
So I need someone to either test and report to me or what would be better someone that can develope further on its own after I shared my knowledge with him.
This thread is for talking about everything related to Sailfish OS.
Here are some useful links:

Android Support is currently not available for ported devices but there are some devs working on an open source solution.
Your recovery will stay the same.
Internal SD should stay untouched of you don't wipe it but it will probably not visible from sailfish but there was a fix for that, dunno if that is already upstream.

It's a completely different OS, it's based off Mer which is kind of a Linux distribution and on top of that sits sailfish OS. CM is only used on Android via libhybris to get the hardware working. In fact it's completely different from Android and NOT based on it like CM. It's real Linux as a mobile OS.

All sensors up

Nice progression, thanks for effort. Had a Jolla-device before and loved it. The HW build quality just wasnt there. Altough, I'd love to get the opensource dalvik-emu to work some day, since I have a bad feeling about future sw development on SailfishOS.
Awesome. Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you on the latest build. I haven't had time lately. Life kinda showed up abf took my time with it. I'll try to observe it later.

Android 10 should work with some optimization- porting the kernel to a relatively new version would likely be the hardest part.

How complicated is it to slim down the builds as much as possible?
I don't see needing all the extra TouchWiz crap that this device barely supports and had survived using Link2SD for storage. Something stable supporting at least basic apps is all I need, and most of those (Gmail, Chrome, etc) are now available from play store.

Hi, my advice is starting by taking sources from other variants (you can find them in GitHub S3NEO organization) and editing sources by starting from that base. For the kernel, it shouldn't be difficult to make a defconfig by always looking in matisse and millet ones. I advice you to start from Android 9 (lineage-16.0 branches) since they are the most stable. If you are really interested to work, you can write me in Telegram (same username as xda profile) and I can write you something more about what you should do.
Android 8, 9 or 10 will be nice, but right now I will be happy with Android 5. Are there any ROMs for degas higher than 4.4.4?
Are there any true Android 5 or Android 7 ROMs for this device?

For now most of the ROMs out there are based on touchwiz so they are 4.4 with themes. I hope devs can build proper Android 8+ ROM for our good old buddy

We can't because degas has different SoC and nobody of the devs have this device. So, we can't do anything.

Yeah that Marvell CPU and Vivante GPU is a real headache I guess. Why Samsung put them in it lol Maybe one day (when NewPipe stops fully working on my Tab 4) I'll grab a new Tab (probably S series this time).

I have given up on porting brand new Android versions (for now) and right now I have Android 5 running. Quite unstable at the moment.

I ask developers to make Android 5 + ROM on Degas, because there are many apps in China that can't run on Android 4.4. Sorry, my English

That problem is not only for China dude. That's why most of the people (incl. me) want newer Android to our loved Degas
Because Android development for this tablet seem to be DEAD I started to wonder if I could install Windows 10? I bumped to this thing claiming it can install WIndows to any android tablet but I'm yet to try it out...
