Operation "Tuna Balls" (UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 from source)

---

Hello,
I have released a very ugly, hacked up dump of my work from July when I attempted to port CyanogenMod 9 to the Nexus Q. It is incomplete, but compiles still, and functional. Developers might find this of use.

There was a large amount of interest in this work when I released a video of 'proof of concept' that went viral in July, before the consumer launch. This work was all created before Google pulled the launch (July), and many weeks before AOSP or OMAP repos had the source for device/vendor.

I call it "Tuna balls" due to the fact it's a raw rip off of the Tuna/Maguro base from CM9, dated July 2012, when I forked and modified it.

The codenames of the branches may be wrong. A lot of the 'bugs' may be easy to fix. Unfortunately, I never came back to this project after July.

As someone who strives for complete, QA process builds, I kept this private for months. I know it's not complete, please understand things don't work flawlessly. No audio (possibly hard to fix) and crashing System UI (probably easy to fix) can ruin your experience, but this can be hacked into shape

Here are my notes/bug list from Github:

"Operation Tuna Balls"

This is a partially complete attempt at porting CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.4) to the Nexus Q.

At the time of original creation (July), there was no other source available. As such, I used the Tuna/Maguro bases to port to the Steelhead, as there were so many common pieces.

This combination worked well for the majority of things. Known bugs never resolved since this project was orphaned in July include:

* No working audio. Mixers fail to load with tuna audio_hw.c. The OMAP "Steelhead" and AOSP "Phantasm" repositiories online have a -very- hacked up version of this file, but intended for Jellybean (as of writing). Also, OMAP has the audio listed as a known issue in their source releases.
* No working NFC. This could be easy to solve, I did not spend much time on it.
* System UI crashes. This should be a simple matter of finding this conflicting Tablet/Phone System UI layouts being requested (should be an overlay setting, likely).

Most everything else works. This includes:
* Bluetooth pair all the things, no hacks needed.
* Wifi works.
* XHDPI resolution works (when System UI doesn't crash).
* HW Acceleration in games work.
* Google Play Market is open for use.

--------------

While I am a maintainer for CyanogenMod, this work is not official in any way. It is incomplete, and I am more or less abandoning it at this point due to a broken Nexus Q and lack of free time. Please hit me up on Freenode (kornyone) for questions, ##nexusq is still open.

Thanks!

Proof of concept (so people don't have to dig this stuff up):

kornyone. I was wondering where you put this. Thanks for the source release, it will come in use. I have a big move coming up but plan to pick up where you left off and maybe get some other devs in on this. Again, thanks for the xmas present!

how hard would this be to run cm 10 on it?

kornyone,

I was able to build and install your cm9!
Of course I have the same issues as you (systemui crashes, no sound) but hey it's something!

Thanks for everything and I hope there is still some progession on this!
