Root [ALPHA] ICS for Optimus M (NOW COMPILED AND BOOTING)

[bobdamnit]

Should be able to just edit the build.prop and add the cdma permissions to get it to work. That is if the phones are the same ie the gsm rom will boot and work on the Wildfire. If not alot more will have to be done as you all prolly know.

They are significantly different. Different touchscreens, radio's, etc.

Like I said, Bobz helped us get a working bootable CDMA kernel for CM7. But other than booting and having a usable touchscreen, it's pretty much been dropped.

There is a team called "MarvelUSc" that is designing ROM's specifically for the A510c (CDMA WFS), but they've all but given up on CM7. (I don't think any of them are kernel devs.)

I myself have never built an Android kernel. Otherwise I'd give it a shot. It probably would end up like the time I built a Backtrack 3 kernel though. A complete disaster lol

I'm gonna be getting a new PC sometime this week. AMD 8-core, 8 GB ram, sick graphics card. I might start developing for this project when it arrives.

what mobo r you putting that on cause i already have the amd 8core and their r compatibility problems.?

When you say "mobo" do you mean operating system?

 

[bobdamnit]

Mobo=motherboard

Ah, I feel a little stupid now. But no, I'm going with a MSI A75MA-G55 and my friend also has an 8-core set up with that motherboard, so I'm pretty positive it's compatible.

I think he meant Android compiling compatibility. Some AMD boards just aren't suited to compile Android.

No he meant mobo compatibility. The new bulldozer AMD chips have issues at the moment. They dont quite make use of all cores. Make sure you flash the latest BIOS for your board. Also if you are running Windows 7 there are patches that need to be run which can be found at MS website. AMD is coming out with a second series of Bulldozer chips which will run alot smoother.

Thank you for the information. I will keep that in mind.

Just a heads up people. I'm getting ready to flash cm7 to a friends lg v. They have a WORKING. Alpha of ICS. Don't remember download site just know it's out there w/full install instructions.

Alright, so If I'm gonna start developing for this project, where am I to start? I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04.

lol....

get familiar with the android src, learn to code or at least edit the p1$$ out of it, learn PATIENCE, and again LEARN PATIENCE, and learn to accept failures (there will be tons)!!!

And thats from my experience with a phone that meet the min required specs even.

Just think of it like trying to get a 500ci Mtn motor to fit n run in a Chevette w/o the car itself getting rip to shreds!!!

Using the files in the OP should get you a bootable image.. From there e need kernel tweaks

god i love my job.. lol lady brought in a computer.. wouldnt post.. wouldnt boot. powered on.. then the fans stopped spinning.. told her it was most likely the motherboard.. cause i tested the power supply.. she was like ok.. i need a new computer.. got ehr set up with a new tower.. told her to take the old one home with her.. she said nah.. just junk it.. i said ok.. she left.. i started the services on her new pc.. opened up the old one.. 8GB of dual channel memory.. 1.5TB HDD.. guess whos got 8gb dual channel now.. lol had 6gb after my incident.. not dual channel.. and my mobo hates single channel memory.. lol

 

[p-bOt]

Damn...I would love that too. What do you do?

would you believe they have CM9 running on the DX now? It has a locked bl still so no kernel changes. I would like to find those secrets out lol

 

[bobdamnit]

We have it up and running on the Wildfire S. Touchscreen works, camera works, GSM works. HW acceleration doesn't, g-sensor doesn't, and camcorder doesn't work.

CDMA is currently beta. Almost nothing works. (Including booting.)

 

[sammyz]

I no longer have service with metropcs (for now) so my phone is now dedicated to full on testing....until my parents decide to pay for service lol I need a job xD

 

[tripdoc79]

ok so.. pretty much have evrything settled.. getting ready to dive into this again.. just figured id give an update as i know alot of you are waiting to see this happen. been a couple months since i did any real work on this so there should be some more support out there for getting everything working.. thanx for being so patient everyone. time to go find some patches.. just read about a legacy touchscreen patch for cm9.. going to see if i can incorporate that into my build and see of the touchscreen works.

Hey, I love you. But not in a homosexual way. In a I-really-need-this-to-happen kind of way.

 

[tripdoc79]

tryingt o make cghanges to my working build to get the touchscreen working.. unfortionately.. the working rom was compiled on virtual box.. and for whatever reason i cannot access it.. at least not in windows.. so when i get some more time ill try it from ubuntu.. i ahve it dual booting.. but i have yet to compile a working rom the same as the one i did on the virtual box.. so we'll see if i can access my virtual disk from VB in ubuntu and see if i can make it go.. kinda funny.. running virtual box in ubuntu for ubuntu.. :S

 

[tripdoc79]

building with new input files.. see what happens.. gonna be a while.. building in vb in ubuntu.. lol great.. really need to get around to transfering all my files to actual ubuntu and out of VB.. hopefully it doesnt error out with the new files

I can't wait to test the new build, keep up the good work

 

[tripdoc79]

errored out on new input files.. switching the header file out.. going to try that b4 i go through and making fixes... and it errioed out on that header file as well.. time to go digging
