[DEV] Developer-related discussion for EVO View 4G

---

Thought we'd have a thread here for mainly Dev's so we can communicate in one section with the already isolated sections.

Well, I'll start off first:
Does anyone have luck on the following?

- Creating AOSP kernel (GB base)
^ 2.6.35 source is out on htcdev, but kernels are not my expertise. I contacted cayniarb to see if he'd be willing to make one for us.

- Building any AOSP roms? GB/ICS hacks
^ Been trying CyanogenMod 7 unsuccessfully for a few days.
I don't think it's impossible, however given several tries at compiling. Resulting zips just don't boot, probably bootimage/kernel related... Think I have got all the proprietaries pulled and needed files set up by mostly mimicking other MSM8655 builds.

- Direct porting flyer roms to express
^ Something I may try soon if I can't get any progress done on my end. This is probably not very hard, but looking at the Flyer choices there doesn't seem to be a whole lot we are missing out completely on.

I can vouch for this; using any Flyer ROM with the View kernel that matches the version of Android (i.e. GB or HC) WILL work on the View. Namely, LeeDroid's GB ROM with the OC View GB kernel. Although, using the Flyer kernel will cause a bootloop :\

The only thing we are missing out on is an optimized kernel. We wouldn't even need Flyer ports with a "proper" View kernel

I am more interested in getting ICS working right now. I'm working on the final build of CypherROM and from there working on themes and a kernel. My team has been trying to build a kernel based off of leedroid's work for some time, but haven't had any luck.

It looks like a dev just made an alpha AOSP kernel for the flyer, which we can't use of course (for the newbs reading):

The biggest problem is the WiMAX. Doing some research it looks as though we might be able to use HTC "speedy" aosp kernel source. Same processors and gpu. Just need to get a hold of kernel source and comparing def_configs. I have done nothing but kinda look into it. I have built the device folders too. But I knew the kernel was the issue so I wasn't going to compile. And once we get an aosp kernel we can also get a decently functional touch recovery.

Also, I noticed cyanogenmod kernel source for msm7x30 has the express in its defconfig. So Im looking into that right now

Hello everyone....I am a previous developer from the EVO 3D and would like to let some devs know that if they want working Beats then take a peak at the Sensation XL!

Why don't you just port it for us?
If I only had more time I could actually get more done with my rom and try to build AOSP. Getting promoted has just taken away all my time.

In my opinion beats makes music sound like crap when ported. And I have had it on multiple devices.

My aosp kernel testing is not going very well. I really need to read up on board files in the kernel to remove the sense stuff from them

I thought it sounded good on the E3D...(?)

@jmztaylor As for the kernel, would you be interested in working with my team to get the stock one working on cypherROM? Daniels7 (leedroid tweaks) gave me permission to port his tweaks over to my rom, but I need a kernel port of the leedroid kernel or something to that effect (I'd like to build our own). I don't know enough about kernels to do it myself and unixdood hasn't had any luck building one. Everytime I try to cook it in, or even make it flashable it causes bootloop. PM me if you do or if you'd like to work on anything else (including teaching me lol). Thanks!

Hmmm maybe I will just go ahead and do that but idk....getting kicked out and my ROMs shut down was not very nice....just maybe though!
