Hey Guys, we can finally get ICS drivers if we sign this petition and get more supporters. There are currently 2500+ supporters, so it would be great if you guys contributed by signing the petition like I did (its not hard).

GO TO THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION (PLEASE DON'T SPAM): http://www.groubal.com/ics-drivers-compiled-for-armv6-from-qualcomm/

If we get enough, Qualcomm may compile the drivers for us so we can get the full ICS rom experience :).

Please don't forget that even if there were binary drivers suitable to run msm7k on ICS we'd still need an updated kernel (kgsl, etc) to use them.

If I heard right, Qualcomm has released the drivers!

Anyway, zeubea's ICS ROM now should have them.

What must I do?

Well I'm glad to see the Legend is evolving again, but I'm a bit of a Noob in these things...

Should I (as just a user, not a dev) download these new drivers, and flash them?
Or are these new drives just for devs, to make new ROMs?
Sorry if this was just a silly question...

So...

So I shouldn't care about this new driver, as it is only important for the developers?
I should only be happy, because now there will be better-looking ROMs like CM9 BETA0 based port for Legend , right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, please...

Umm, that's not what I meant lol... Sure you can be happy if you want but the person that will put it to use is the developer to create a rom for you to enjoy.
So you aren't entirely wrong.

As much as we all, the likelihood of him returning back is less than 50%. I think his still looking into GB for Legend in CM.

Well, then you actually know more than I do. :)

Maintaining the Gingerbread port doesn't mean I'm not looking into possibilities for ICS on the Legend – we're just not doing half-done crap-releases. CM is our baby, we treat it nicely. :D


I'm still here, my Legend's still working and it (and a lot of other CM7 devices based on capable msm7k chipsets) will get an ICS port once a few requirements are off our list of obstacles (quite big list, quite big obstacles).


One of these requirements – an Adreno driver for ICS – was just recently met and yes, I'm pretty excited about that. Unfortunately there's still one big piece missing (OMX).

So if you have what you need then you will be releasing it? I thought cm gave on up the legend because it didn't have enough ram.

Glad to hear that your still attempting to compile an ICS rom for the legend :)
