[WIP/ROM/DEV/UNOFFICIAL] Android 4.0 (Ice cream sandwich) AOSP Porting (.32)

Bytecode · Oct 19, 2011

Hi there guys,
I just read about Android 4.0,released today. As I promised from june,I wil try to port it to you guys (even because I'm not working at any project now).

The first alpha will be available in few days (if all goes well),maybe one week. I already got the SDK dump,so i could try to make it boot,but I prefer using sources. BTW,when CyanogenMod 9 will be released(CM8 is some crappy Honeycomb),I'll make CM9 port.

EDIT: I can't make the SDK boot. Libs are built from ARMv7,but we're ARMv6. So wait for sources to be released.

SOME INFOS:

ROM will be based on .32 kernel tree,then I'll switch to .35
Nothing in mind now.

Current status: Planning to download sources. I need to ask some help too,because I don't know for good this AOSP stuff. Will probably ask to lupohirp

I'm thinking of reporting it,but I don't know. He/She litterally took my project.

BTW,sources out in end of october,and first days of november. So now working on making closed source rom boot,because I can't wait to see how ICS looks on LG P500. Will post a video soon,currently doing other stuff not related to this.

What? ICS is for tablets as well as phones. I don't see any reason for it to look bad because of a small screen size.

I've been playing around with ICS in the emulator, and I've been wondering what the advantages will be for us over Gingerbread.

The UI overhaul seems nice enough, though ICS seems to be designed for devices with no hardware menu button. In the native apps included, there is a bar at the bottom which has buttons that were normally hidden and accessed by the menu button.

This basically means we'll be losing screen space in ICS, unless this bar can be hidden for devices that do have a dedicated menu button, though I couldn't find the option in the emulator.

The ram usage is more than double that of Gingerbread (45MB vs 98MB). Luckily our O1 phones will be able to manage this fine (mine is currently using 159MB, with 243MB free) but for other phones the upgrade is going to render them useless.

The big problem is going to be the sheer size of ICS. In the Gingerbread emulator the system.img is 89MB but for ICS it is 167MB. Which is of course the bare minimum for the emulator, 'real' Android with Gapps etc is bigger. CM7.1 takes up 154MB of the 190MB /system partition on my phone. To get ICS on our O1 we'll probably have to do some partition resizing, which means a smaller /data partition for our installed apps.

Oh well, we'll have to wait and see how CM team is gonna handle the buttons on the screen.
