Root [Boost Mobile] [Request] CM9 Update Please

[MrBobo]

This is a request going out to the devs for a status/new thread for the CM9 build. I know we stalled due to hroark and others leaving. I am not even sure who has the goods, but whoever has a the latest build for testing and source locations, could you start a new thread (or reply with the info and I will do it here) for CM9 since Hroark is no longer with us?

here is the cm9 thread: http://androidforums.com/warp-all-things-root/556512-cm9-warp-development-thread.html

If we could have a thread set up where the first post tells the status of the project and latest build with flashable zip links or a cwm backup link I would be forever in your debt. I am happy to do it here if people can post the different parts, a status, source links and test build links would be a starting point, also I would like to put together a bug list.

I am not going to write instructions on how to setup an Android Build system. there are many tutorials out there for that.

These instructions will assume that was done

If you do not have a lot of RAM in your build system, make sure you have a swap partition and it is turned on

Here is the source code I uploaded to github

https://github.com/hroark13/warp_cm9_config



First thing you want to do is Download the CM9 repo

Open terminal

$mkdir cm9
$cd cm9
$repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics

hit enter twice when it asks about your name and email

$repo sync -j32

it will download the repo and take a pretty long time, it does not download everything, you still need to get some pre-builts

$vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

now copy my source code from github and overwrite any files that it prompts

$make clobber
$source ./build/envsetup.sh
$lunch ZTE_arthur-userdebug
$mka -j8 bacon

I use -j8 because I have an 8 core cpu now, if you have a dual core use

$mka -j2 bacon

It will start the build, it takes 40 minutes on my new system, it will probably take longer on older systems, can take a really really long time if you do not have a fast computer


when it is done, you should have this file

cm9/out/target/product/arthur/update-cm-9.0.0-RC0--UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip

I always take this file and replace the META-INF folder with my own because the update.script that CM9 makes does not set all the needed permissions, and the end result looks like this.

downthemachine HAS DISCOVERED THAT THEY CAN WIPE YOUR NAM SETTINGS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REPROGRAM THE PHONE IN CDMA WORKSHOP


This is a dev test ROM and is not for regular usage, it is only for people who want to try and help get CM9 working on the Warp


Here is a kernel update for the above ROM, flash it in CWM after you flash the ROM, this kernel has more pmem stuff removed

That is on the first page. The source is near the top. Quietstorm also has a git setup for this, among his edits I believe

And I spoke with him recently. He said he would never pull his links even though he left

 

[MrBobo]

thanks bro, is that all the latest source we have on cm9 though? reading through the thread I wasn't sure if it was... also since it's his personal account in the links does that allow others to work on the source etc?

do we have source for his kernel too?

My main purpose was to start a thread or have one started by an android forums member who's still active and able to update the OP, since hroark has been gone for quite a while the op hasn't been updated in a long time so you have to read through the whole thread to figure out where we are.

 

[Deleted User]

His kernel source is at the same git. As far as who's working on it, I only know that quietstorm did, and has now gone back to cm7.

 

[IonDev]

Wat ever happen to quietstorm?

 

[Deleted User]

Quietstorm is elusive

[mercury0x000d]

Yes hroark left, but not really us. He was upset with af. If you would like to know more pm me. Or contact him on xda

 

[xdyckox]

You can do it mr bobo i know you wont give up !

 

[EarlyMon]

Thread cleaned of some confused stuff about the merits of cm.

No cause for that - devs work hard and provide what they can, when they can.

Well more help the better

 

[MrBobo]

william, if you want to head this up, I recommend posting a new thread for it, pulling what you can from what's been done as a starting point and making it official with logs of what's working/not working etc.

I appreciate any help anyone can do to get this going again!

Any updates is there a cm9 rom out there ready for flashing

you can flash it but most of the main functions don't work yet, I think it boots but haven't tried it yet.

It boots... but it has almost every problem you can imagine... and there is an issue with the graphics which makes the launcher have to repeatedly reload

How is the project coming along so far? I am sure many warp users will love this on our phones.
Any updates are greatly appreciated as well as your hard work.

 

[StarScream2109]

I have sent an email to the Cyanogen devs hoping to hear back soon I'll let you guys know

 

[Deleted User]

Would this be the first prepaid to be officially supported

 

[MrBobo]

me too, just did last night, I got a dev's email from satanr so we will see if he responds, I offered the phone we have available or to get money together if we can get an official dev from cyanogen to help us port cm9...
