Root [DEV] Continuing Triumph ICS Development

SuperMandroid3 · Feb 14, 2012

What I would like to know is if the newer graphic drivers actually ARE in these alphas and is there an app to check? Didn't get any clarity from the few posts above.

Then you didn't thoroughly read the last 10 posts.
We are using Edowars updated Adreno 200 driver.

Let's try to keep the posts here development focused. There is the ROM thread and an end user thread for non development related posts. Thanks folks.

SuperMandroid3 · Feb 14, 2012

OK so its an updated 200 not 205 that the link was talking about. Couldve just said.... How is a driver not development? An everyday user will not try to update androids drivers. I just like new shit but whatever.

Did I call you out specifically or say stop posting about drivers? No.

I never said driver issues were not dev related.

Just relax. :cool:

There are many more posts here besides yours. I was just posting a friendly reminder since someone complained to me about non dev posts.

Yes, thank you. there was a manifest_local.xml in my .repo dir with an odd device_motorola_triumph entry for some reason. I removed it and it's working fine. Apparently 1 bad (local) entry can block the rest of the repo sync from completing successfully, which is what caused my build break originally (or I was just unlucky during both of my syncs and picked up incomplete changes from CM9.)

This manifest_local change happened to me too, something must automatically trigger it. BTW, I'm on vacation in the mountains and checking in occasionally with Triumph-tethered 0-bar 3G/1X, so I won't be very visible for a while. Maybe you guys'll have CM9 done and stable by the time I get back

Whyzor · Feb 14, 2012

Oh we know how much you like developing this phone, wouldn't want to take any of that enjoyment away, so there'll be plenty left to do when you get back

Hey guys I was just wandering if anyone had heard from progmanos about the camera and how that's coming along just curious

Yeah. That file was created by that tagfix.py script that I accidentally pushed up. It's needed by the Cm 7 repo but we don't use it for the cm9 repo.

Edit: oh and I hope you're using cm9 tethered...

I'm still stuck with getParameters returning null. I think I might try adding some Log.d calls to a CM7 ROM to see if I can resolve the problem.

progmanos · Feb 14, 2012

Also, I can upload the files I changed if any dev wants to help me fix the camera problem.

android - Camera.getParameters() return null on Galaxy Tab - Stack Overflow

would this help with the camera problem?

Looks like an application call to the camera, not the actual code to get the camera to run.

darn.... would it be worth trying at all?

I am narrowing down the camera problems by remote debugging with Eclipse.

Eclipse attaches to the Dalvik VM and allows you to set breakpoints. From there, you can step through the code and look at the current values of variables as an app is running.

Debugging in Eclipse is so much better than relying on print statements. I actually stumbled across it after figuring out how to hook up a gdbserver in a vain attempt to step through the libcamera.so file.

Below is the article on how to connect to gdb for those of you who are curious:

Thanks, I'll look into these when I get more time. This & previous Eclipse links would be useful in the 1st or 2nd post for those new to developing on Android phones. I remember Mantera also posted some git tricks to reset git repos, or even a basic workflow example would be helpful for new developers.

Yuck, assembly debugging with gdb... That is pretty cool you can do that, but that would take a lot of time and patience. I guess that is the only way to figure out what is going on in those closed source blobs though. Did that actually help in figuring out some of the camera problems? You are quite the wizard if you had to dig that deep to find the problems.

I think it would be really helpful if you wrote up step by step instructions for remote debugging CyanogenMod from eclipse. I wish I had more time to work on this stuff, because remote debugging has to make the process much less painful.

I have a question for the devs:

What GPU drivers are we using? The reason I ask is because on Edowar's ICS, graphics ran super smooth, all because he was using the newer drivers.... and last night I thought about it and was curious.

Here are the supposed drivers: [DEV] Adreno 205 EGL(Graphic) Driver Update (30/12/2011) - xda-developers

Does anyone still have a copy of the gpu drivers from this link? All of the multiupload links on that thread no longer work. I apparently have deleted my only copy... doh! I want to see if these are the same as what we're currently using.

Maybe these will work:

xda-developers - View Single Post - [!]GPU Driver Update [Speed Up Your Graphics!]

Or extract from a new stock Huawei U8800 ROM w/ 2.6.35.7 kernel.
