I'm compiling on my Intel i3 4gb of RAM laptop, will let you know how it goes. However, I suggest people who are waiting to build an ICS rom (like myself) wait until superuser gets an update.

building as we speak, going to go to sleep and see what pops out in the morning
I compiled, and I made a zip, but my result was a very buggy ICS rom wasn't usable and then I had no recovery, so i'm stock as store bought now. I might try again. By the way someone already made an ota package, it had 4g featured in it but he didn't have 4g available?
Cm9 build is working well for ns4g but i know there is no superuser so dont touch it unless you know adb really well for system mods.

Who did this? Is it available? I'm searching everywhere for a compiled 4.0.3 ROM for NS4G.
Not that I know of, i'm compiling again but I made a mistake, I forgot to add the proprietary drivers.
I look forward to hearing good news from you! (After you start compiling again.)
I just started compiling again, I haven't slept yet. Sometimes if you don't want to wait, you might have to try yourself. Hopefully there will be good news, after I flash.

whats the minimum req. for a computer to make roms? I have a netbook running windows 7 with 1.2 ghz i3, 2gb ram. will that work? I really want to get into deving.
p.s. My netbook was free. (not really free had to seed a guys lawn for it....lol)
Maybe it will be easier to rebuild from CM9 Alpha. OTA doesn't have face unlock and some other features. I'm being told android beam won't work either. but it's very fast

There isn't any real minimum. But, to make ROM's in half an hour you need 2x4Core Intel Xeon's with 24GB of RAM and 250GB Hard Drive. Or something like that.

It really depends what you want, doesn't it?
If you want something stable where everything works, you're not going to flash ICS on it, are you? Me, I wanted to play around with something that I knew was still in the alpha/beta stages of development, so I took the plunge. I find that the 02_09_Hashcode build on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895 does all that I need it to at the moment, so I'm happy with it. If you follow that thread, though, you will find people that don't like it, people that want HW video acceleration, people that won't run it until it runs netflix... etc. It all depends on your desires/needs.
Sure, I'd like to be able to have the original reader on it - the margins on the reader app are so big a single sentence spans multiple pages. But if that was too much of a bother, I'd go back to stock wouldn't I?

KindleFireUtility is pretty easy to deal with if you're not comfortable running adb shell commands. It will install the most recent version of BurritoRoot and TWRP and does many other things as well. Just be sure to read the instructions in the thread well or you may end up posting one of the many "bricked my KF while trying to install TWRP with KFU" threads you'll see around here

It depends on what do you expecting from your ROM.
CM9 builds are more polished and tablet looking than other, but don't have video HW acceleration support and netfix.
CM7 builds are bit more laggy (if we are talking about UI animations) but you can play videos from webpages.
Barebones are looking similiar to ICS UI, and is very fast but you have to install everything on it (it's just naked system).
I didn't using MIUI/Kand ROMS so cant tell anything about them

Got to have my Netflix account up and working. CM7 SoS is just great. Still, I can't wait for CM9 to get video working. I understand they're almost there.
For me, the MoDaCo rom is the perfect fit. You get the "stock" experience- probably the best app compatibility you're going to find. In addition, you have several tweaks and the Market preinstalled.
Having been around the block a few times on other tablets and Android phones, I love the bleeding edge ROMs. But if a device is your daily driver, stability and compatibility are important. The MoDaCo rom gives that.
Now, give ICS a few more months, and it may be a different story.
Everything everyone said about the ROMs here is correct and good advice.
I'd just add if I was starting out with CM7, I'd try the barebones version. That wasn't yet out when I installed it and I had to uninstall all the unneeded apps manually. If I were to start now, I'd use barebones, for sure.
Otherwise they are the same.
CM7 is very good. You will like it, I bet.

Similar experience here. I was on CM7 sos, then tried ICS. In the interim, Barebones came out, so I rolled with that.
I prefer what I'm used to with Android, so CM7 is a good fit for me.
Someone did mention that the UI was slightly laggy, but I've had a better experience with CM7 using Raven's kernal than I did with ICS with whatever kernel came with it.
Exactly what the thread title says...
As most of you should already be aware I have a gingerbread build that I try to provide something close to a monthly update on (plus or minus a few days). What I would like to know tonight is if y'all would like something similar with ICS?
Just like the gingerbread builds this won't have a lot of progression and I won't be trying to really create anything so much as compile y'all something (hopefully stable) to use if you so choose.
Assuming the answer to the first question is yes, do y'all have a preference for the build (cm9, aokp, etc)?
A release candidate of CM9 would be nice or if there's an ICS rom of ParanoidAndroid, then that would be great as well, I like having proper tablet UI for apps.

All of the roms I have tried have these really annoying bugs. In the ROM I have now, the WIFI keeps dropping, even when i'm in the middle of a download.
If you guys can make a simple, stable ROM without all the bells and whistles (swipe left, themes, etc), that would make me (and a lot of other people) very happy.

With a little bit of tweaks I'm pretty sure we can use the newer JB kernel (they're both 3.y based but the newer one has the working charge indicator and screen driver.

This is sort of where I was already leaning; was considering basing something off of the loosethiskin builds that TWA was providing before cm10 but I wanted some opinions first as just like my cm7 rom I won't be the one running it (I'm using cm10 and it's going to remain that way)

No; others may be capable and or willing to do this. I personally don't touch binary ports; partly cause I don't want to and partly cause I don't know how to do binary ports (I haven't researched it do to the fact that I just didn't want to do it; source code for me)

I haven't experienced any of those issues but one thing I can point out is wifi issues are most likely kernel related; I'm most definitely not a kernel dev so anything I do will have something close to hashcodes current kernel (assuming it won't work as is)
Hi Sblood,
Funny, I was just thinking about this today, wondering if anybody that's capable is willing to take the time to do this. While I'm pretty much satisified with my JB rom, I really like ICS and I was very happy with twa_priv's CM9 builds.
I watch a lot of video from CNN and that's flash, the JB roms are finally giving me pretty good performance with this but I also like to watch video from ESPN and I haven't figured out a way to get that to work. With ICS, it prompts you to choose a player to watch the videos, like MX Player or Dice Player, with JB, it just tells me that the content is unavailable. That's probably the biggest thing I miss from ICS. I still keep a nandroid of twa's last CM9 release under a different gmail address and update any apps from Play Store every couple of weeks and then I OD on ESPN vids & Flash stuff, tonight I had 17 apps to update. LOL
For me, it's a tradeoff of JB Google Now for ICS ESPN vids and I'd rather have ESPN videos. So, if you could use twa's CM9 build as a base and hook in Hashcode's newer kernels, say on a monthly basis, that would be awesome & most appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike T

Sorry I've been busy and interest actually seemed much lower than I would have expected so it's been a somewhat lower priority.
I would still love to get it done (if for no other reason than we don't really have a stable/buildable version of ICS) but as it stands I've been having a few issues getting the ICS device repo updated to use the current kernel but I have been trying at least some.
I have to remind you it's the holiday season as well.
A good, stable, release candidate ICS ROM? I can see the appeal. I'd definitely give it a whirl. I'm starting to get tired of instability on a lot of ROMs.

That's a joke right; it's been 5 days since you asked this previously, it's still the holiday season and I haven't said anything in regards to something working so it must be I'm just not sure I get the humor in it...
Admittedly I probably shouldn't have created this thread til I had made some more progress but the goal was to find out if people were even interested in ICS in the first place. As I have stated this is still on my project list but let's be serious for a moment; how high of a priority do you really think back tracking to a previous version is? (I'll give you a clue: it's not).
I can tell you this; syncing cm9 and the old Kfire-Android local manifest for it doesn't build (and that's with the old kernel branch), it's not as simple as sync a bunch of folders and compile; I have to actually dig into the code of several repos to sort this out.
Lastly consider that my primary role is as a recovery dev; you know the term 'the plate is full', well I have a platter over here...
Not directly related but on the subject of recovery development; this is where most of my time has gone as of late.
I'd like to see an updated ICS but if it doesn't happen......oh well......I'll wait
.....when you hit the walls of sanity, you have no-where to go.....
Yea I'll wait too. And it was a joke. :c
How about a ROM with similar battery life as the stock Amazon one? Every custom ICS or JB ROM I have tried has not been awesome for battery life. Especially in sleep mode.
I'd like to see a honeycomb ROM that wold be pretty neat
Hello,
XDA and other sites have broken news on new features in KitKat and one of them is that its made for wearable devices with as low as 512MB. Our Desire Z has 512MB so this will be great news Obviously our processor still lacks and GPU drivers are sticks and gum but something is better than nothing.
I was excited to hear this when I first read that about KitKat. I'm quite excited to see if anyone out there is gonna work on a ROM once everything needed to port it over is available.

The team at Cyanogenmod has commented that this wont mean a revivial of old devices since a lot of things (drivers) are needed besides RAM but needless to say in my opinion and seeing what Jelly Bean brought to the table, I think its a good sign of things to come.
Sadly, there are few really active developers on JB/Desire Z. Lets hope someone comes out with a KitKat ROM.
Speaking of KitKat, here is a lot of the stuff ripped from the Nexus 5 ROM, I personally have all of them running on CM10.1 Andromadous (I think that's the right spelling.) Hope it helps people! bit. ly /1arIQCU (via DroidLife)
I would be very surprised if Kit Kat is ported to this wonderful device. The fact that it has been ported anything beyond Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing already, so whether they support Kit Kat or not I'd still be happy until a true hardware keyboard phone comes out.

I would be really happy to see KitKat ported over. I mean even if it isn't I'd be happy running either CM10.1 or the Gslim 1.6 ROMs, but I hope that since KitKat supports lower ram that it helps performance wise. I'm tempted to try and get into developing roms but I'm quite a newbie when it comes to that.
i hope that somebody make it for our device
I'm a newbie as well when it comes to development, but if i have the time and someone ports 4.4 to a similar device (desire HD perhaps) then i'll definitely attempt to port 4.4 to the g2. I love my old g2, when i had to send my GS3 back do to a defect in the screen I used my g2 for 2 weeks and was still impressed with how snappy it was. So yea, I may end up attempting a 4.4 rom at some point. I'll share it here and perhaps some of the better developers can take it and improve on it

I figured the cwm version that built worked with the new set_metadata in the updater-scripts for the 4.3 and up
I would like to help with, (attempt to) coordinate, and start the development efforts for KitKat/CM11 on the G2.
I can beta test, build, and debug/reverse-engineer where needed.
I'm getting a build environment prepared, so it will be a bit until I crank out builds.
Wouldn't it breathe new life into this wonderful device given the low ram requirements? I hope some of the amazing guys bringing the latest can work their magic and get 4.4 on here.

They're not the same SOC so they're not that similar.
Also, this point sounds like begging or on the borderline of demanding. This device is nearly dead. There are nowhere near the resources there used to be.
With that said, the evervolv team is working on KitKat for similar devices. Inc support will probably be added once we can get it building.

This is not meant to be rude in any way but please just let them work. There is nothing that devs hate more than questions about release dates and notes on what you think they should be addressing. I'm more than impressed at the simple fact that tiny and pons are considering spending time on this ancient hardware.

Just a heads up. I hope the developers will pay more attention towards the glitchy video Camera and the battery life.. I really hope Kitkat will be out soon..

Be glad the developers want to still work on ROMs. You could just buy a new phone if you want to not deal with bugs. Battery life is going to be best on this phone on CM7 or Sense. That's how it's going to be. The newer OS'es are a lot more resources intensive just to run things.
While asking is kind of pointless, if this could be made into a reality, a useable one at that, my god that would be awesome. Also, on an unrelated note, do you go to OSU?

Progress is being made. I was able to get it boot and with the current status of Evervolv and a few patches Nexus 1 already have wifi working but no data.

Thanks for the update. At this point I'd love it even without data. It's my "tinkering around" device. Wi-Fi only and Bluetooth is all I use it for. Again, thanks for all the hard work you and others out into these devices.

I agree it's kind of a pointless question, but I was excited to see the low device requirements to get it up and running.
I am an Ohio State alum. Graduated from there 5 years ago.
While searching the forum for kit kat, I've found a build for the INC. Android 4.4 KitKat ! Yes ! by musical_chairs. Heres the link -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046220&page=52
Good luck.. I am just downloading the build..
By the way its not the official build !! Official build is yet to come !!
Can anyone find G-apps which will work with this build. I tried out a Gapps from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 but it didnt work out. :crying:

The KitKat builds are bigger than the previous versions, so there's not much room left in the /system partition.
You'll need the GApps Core from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=9199
The core ones will give you just the basics to save space.
The full GApps won't fit on the small /system partition on our phone with the size of KitKat.
Thanks. So simply all i have is Playstore as an app and other stuff. The rest i will have to download right ? What about Google Experience Launcher (which replaces stock launcher) and other stuff like Google Keyboard ? In the official build will i be able to have the full G-apps ? Just a little clarification needed ? :silly:
So this is not the official release right ? I am really excited about this !! I just tried it out, it is damn snappy and super fast ! Great jobs devs !!
A few small probs i found are the videos are being recorded but is not shown in the gallery, And the external sd card is not shown (and cant access it)
By the way, dont think i am always complaining, i just saw some errors thats it, i hope they will be fixed on the official release..
Job well done Devs !! You gave a new life to my old play around device :highfive:
