Just added new hardware acceleration drivers from the defy. Probably needs new libraries. Reconfigured the way hardware acceleration is handled to hopefully fix colors. Added some changes for audio to test. Changes for USB. Wifi is a mystery. I'm using the newest compatible layout but I will look into some more changes needed. Overall it *should* start looking and feeling like a real build soon.

That's what i felt when I booted it up. It feels really stable and it almost at top speed. It really feels like a good rom now minus working features. Its extremely impressive how its advancing.

I just tried out the latest one from late last night(11:30) and I must say its better and better. Wallpaper scrolls now, still no wifi or 3G for me, but I see the progess. Its getting even smoother and more fluid. I'm loving it, keep up the excellent work bud

Edit: I'm at work so I didn't really get to mess with it much

The ones I have been releasing are at http://builds.twistedplayground.info

twistedumbrella,
I've tried a few times to get to your site you posted but I constantly get
unable to find page.

I would like to test this out, sounds like you are getting really close.

Great job btw! Thanks

this. the website has never worked. only the other link that you posted with the gapps and your builds
 
I tries but AOR give me an error, status 7 :(:(
mine phone is an eurpean model so it's not "droid" with unlocked bootloade

I haven't built a milestone version yet and I don't think any of the droid versions work properly. Once it gets rolling though I have the files to set one up

    Don't flash any other kernels. they won't work.

    changes:

    SD profile 640x480, plays fine via gallery
    * camera saving null jpegs fixed
    * camcorder working
    * enabled TLS register user in kernel and userspace
    * enabled 1% battery charge display
    * lid switch reporting fixed again (haha)
    * updated wifi drivers and firmware
    * usb storage and adb work
    * probably something i forgot ;)
    compiled kernel with gcc4.5, userland with linaro gcc 4.7 and -O3

    still broken:

    build default is core @ 180 (sgx @ 120)

    3 kernels:
    core 160 hi 80 low sgx 107/53 ~ stockish speeds
    core 180 hi 90 low sgx 120/60 ~ moderate performance increase, good batt life
    core 200 hi 90 low sgx 133/60 ~ "battery waster" :D fast! definitely wont work on all phones. it works on my droid built 9/11/2010, but the other one built 7/19/2011 doesn't.

    other changes:
    touchscreen? idr if that was in 7/3 build
    camera stuff
    sw dec
    added a few missing bluetooth files
    not really much else

    overclock breaks camera, backported milestone mt9p012, hp3a, and isp drivers
    this fixed camera and camcorder with sgx overclock, and i'm getting higher fps while recording
    was 15 , now 20 to 24.
    isp now uses an additional 6mb of ram, but i think it's a good tradeoff.
    true 720p recording may be possible now ;)

    Edit: still freezes... hmm.

    Edit:
    odexed build is still unstable, it locks up occasionally when the phone goes to sleep, and usually doesn't come back.
    no errors in logs, nothing i can check looks out of the ordinary, happens with and without gapps, completely mystifying.

    today i ws able to hack in the defy qtouch-obp-ts drivers and enable 5 point multitouch
    the new drivers came with new firmware. previously ver 19, new ver 22.
    this actually got flashed to the touchscreen controller, it's a one way process, unless someone can dump v19 from their phone.. but
    the new ver is compatible with old kernels too, so i don't think it's a big deal.
    i also modified the way the driver reports touch events based on moto stingray qtouch driver
    this is compatible with ics and jb without hacks.

    ics progress: testing an odexed build. it's 20mb larger, but uses 20mb less ram and it's fast! now half of system/app lives on /data
    jb: boots. touchscreen is ... weird. no radio audio sensors lights anything really.

    figured it out:) well maybe i don't quite understand it, but it works :D
    problem was in sram34x.S
    apparently newer kernels don't modify sdram AC timings because sram code can't guarantee no one is using sram when the clock change occurs, which causes random crashes, or in our case, no boot.
    i've also rebased my kernel on deprimed and so far all is good.
    still need to test battery life, it's probaly worse, but better than previously posted builds
    screen off: ram @ 80Mhz sgx at 53Mhz
    screen on: ram @ 200Mhz sgx @ 133Mhz
    Edit2 warning was caused by dsp opp2 not being able to be set
    dropped dsp opp2 to 160.
