Welcome to the

First Hardware Accelerated CM9 Beta ROM for HD2


This rom is based on Bravo CM9 HWA rom by dk_zero-cool so credits to him for a very nice base !
Check the Desire CM9 Rom thread for more information about the ROM in general...

Huge thanks to the following HD2 (kernel) developers for making this possible in the first place : securecrt, Rick_1995, dorimanx, tytung !!

These guys are great and without them we wouldn't have this in the first place...so please folks.. don't forget to give them at least a 'thank you' !

Tips / Tricks & Bugs:

Code:
[B]Tips / Tricks/ Mods[/B] 

+ KSM Memory Management :
Due to heavy memory load with OpenGL support, it is recommended to activate KSM to reduce the memory usage and avoid problems like random reboots. This is done by going to "Settings"->"Performance"->"Memory Management" and check "Kernel samepage merging" 
You can also activate zRam if you still encounter low RAM issues

+ For all people (like me) missing some AOKP options in this ROM give [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222"]Reloaded ICS 1.9b3-041012[/URL] a try ! it's great

[COLOR="Blue"]+ + If you would like to check out the 'TabletUI' mod (check my signature for more info) I have made one for this ROM..Just dont forget to disable the navigation bar before using it : [URL="https://hotfile.com/dl/154284773/c4aa8e4/TabletUI_MOD_CM9_HD2_HWA.zip.html"]TabletUI_MOD_CM9_HD2_HWA.zip[/URL]  -  [URL="http://depositfiles.com/files/0qry1rdlo"]mirror[/URL][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"] !! Keep in mind that [B]you can't use both of the above mods together !! Use one of them [/B][/COLOR]

[B]Bugs[/B]

- When you need to reboot your phone for the first time using this rom please use the poweroff / on function
  You can get stuck into a bootloop when using the reboot option and will need to pull battery..
- Black bar while using the camera (try lg camera of the market as alternative)
- Barcode scanner not working (try NeoReader of the market as alternative)

Changelog :

This ROM is just to give you guys some results of last week development and something to 'play' with so you can see some hardware acceleration in action !


Enjoy Everyone and keep it friendly please!

I like the first screenshot best ! :D

Mother hehe

If you're not going to maintain this rom does that mean we dont need to take any logcats or report any bugs to you or will all the info we have be needed by the other developers?

Just wanna know how much those who decide to take the plunge need to put this rom to its paces.

I am by no means an expert but given that tytung is currently working off an old codebase he'll probably rebase his ROM on this. And if he won't, someone else will. Anyways, bug reports will not go amiss.

Yeah but looking at the desire thread their ICS rom had more bugs than our roms prior to HWA. I thought it was more likely that once they figured out the reason they could boot this as opposed to booting the AOKP or a direct CM9 from source they would either switch to those two more reliable sources.

But oh'well, I'm bored so I'll just switch my main number to my BB and abuse this rom through the night.

Why wont you just let HD2 die :D I really want to buy HTC One X but this will keep my HD2 minimaly for another 6 months.

I wanted to change phone year ago, but there is always something new with HD2. Simply greatest phone ever.

Sorry HTC One X. You will have to wait :D

GOOD WORK EVERYONE (involved in this)

Hey.. no need to start that kind of 'drama' (sorry) already on the first page m8 ;)

I said : I won't be maintaining this for very long..

You know just as well as I do.. this is gonna be ground/base material for other devs/users to build on and make different ROMS/things out of it...
I am very busy maintaining the AOKP rom (which will need HWA also at some point) and these guys from Team Kang come with updates every week at least...

Our well respected CM9 rom maintainer tytung will probably take this over at some point and I don't think we need
3 different CM9 roms floating around (although.. I won't start counting the CM7 roms for that matter :D)

Besides CM9/AOKP/AOSP there are a lot of other nice ICS roms around (MIUI/SENSE) that could use some ICS love ;)

Anyway... Post your logcats please !

I won't be around much the next couple of days, but there will probably be more people around helping out ( I hope )

    Isn't this version possible to use a daily use yet?

    I guess, after reading many comments, this version has various problem such as missing the camera button, rebooting, phone call crash...

    Maybe, I believe HWA roms is almost completed within next weeks.

    But I can't wait just a day. :p like everyone.

    Anyway, Thanks for all Devs.

    I use this Rom since yesterday and haven't had any major issues and 0 hot reboots, but keep in mind it's called Beta for a reason..

    Had the 'stuck in boot' issue only once (1st reboot) .. cleared the dalvic&cache and haven't seen this issue since..

    For me it's fine for daily use, but it's a Bravo Rom and we don't have a trackball :)

    I will start switching the HWA to my AOKP rom.. I have fixed the major things here and it should be a pretty good base now..

    Smokin will be releasing a HWA MIUI rom and other devs will probably follow soon.. We likely have a couple of ICS HWA roms at the end of this weekend and this rom will go into HD2 history :)

    Anyway, I am proud to be part of this 'the beginning of a new HD2 adventure'

    Look, there's a new kernel by securecrt that fixes even more things! Use that one! It at least fixes the stock camera problem. If I understood Rick correctly, GPU-accelerated video playback is the next item on his list. Just read it all up for yourself...

    If you want a phone that just works stay with CM7 unless you are willing to flash a kernel every few hours if our devs are able to keep up the speed the patches are coming in right now. The first release with the new HWA base (it's not just the kernel...) was only three days ago, so give these guys some slack if there are still some bugs...

    As far as I know the data useage limit interface has to be implemented as well, so it's not only HWA missing - thats why it says "beta" in the thread title...

    Sorry, my thanks limiter is reached once again (can't fix that one) ;) thanks

    HWA video playback works for now with this kernel you pointed. But when can I expect stable and working version? Month, year? So now I go back to Dorimanx CM7 rom.

    lol ???

    10 days, 7 hours , 18 minutes and 23 seconds after the release of Magldr 2.0 I expect to release the most stable android rom.. expect some bugs regarding the release date, but will fix that in about 5 days, 3hours, 12 minutes and 11 seconds after the initial release..

    Added some more to the first post :

    - SD version (thanks securecrt)
    - Moved my cLK fix to 'fixes' section.

    And some more tips :)

    + For all people (like me) missing some AOKP options in this ROM give Reloaded ICS 1.9b3-041012 a try ! it's great

    + If you would like to check out the 'TabletUI' mod (check my signature for more info) I have made one for this ROM..Just dont forget to disable the navigation bar before using it : TabletUI_MOD_CM9_HD2_HWA.zip - mirror

    Keep in mind that you can't use both of the above mods together !!

    Also for 'root' edits (build.prop etc.) try ROM toolbox of the market..
