[WIP][CM7.2] Micromax A70 [Developers help needed!]

---

Alpha release of CM7.2 for Micromax A70.

Ported using dsixda kitchen's porting tools (from a LG P500 ROM based on CM7.2 nightly).

Micromax A70 basic info:
Runs on Froyo 2.2.1 presently.
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
600MHz processor.
MSM7627.
256Mb RAM + 160Mb ROM.
Adreno 200 GPU.

Things that work:
Hardware keys.
Sound.

Things that don't:
Touch.
Cellular.
No ADB => No logcat.
Nothing else works apart from that mentioned as working.

No kernel source provided my Micromax even after many requests from many people.

Requesting help from xda devs to help with this.

Regards

DOWNLOAD

Need to flash this afterwards: Boot

How to flash:
1.) Flash the ROM using recovery. (Worked for me both with and without clearing data or cache)
2.) Flash the attached "boot.img flasher.zip"
P.S. Although the boot.img flasher and the rom have save boot.img, it won't boot unless you flash the boot.img flasher zip.

for keys are you changed keychars and keylayout folder under in usr folder with any a70 rom. If not change now so key will work

Hardware keys work as they are supposed to.
Which means the keychars and all are correct.

The touch based keys don't work (as touch doesn't work).

you are ported cm7.2 nightly rom. Which is nbb(new baseband) for nbb need .35 kernel a70 have .35 kernel. .35 kernel need to fix many bugs . If a70 have .35 then this bug will be fix but don' have then it will very very hard to fix gsm and other bugs. If a70 have .32 kernel then then try to port mike os cm7 rom. It's obb(old baseband) it will work with a70. Nbb to obb port is hard. You can port nbb rom to obb only in this device. If you port nbb rom from other device and don't have any .35 kernel then it hard to fix. And best luck for your rom

Thanx for that info

But the problem is, whatever ROM is tried to port...touch never works
Tried with AOSP GB and even CM6 didn't work

Full touch ain't working.

Additional info:
A dev, PlayfulGod, created a boot.img from CM source (changed the ramdisk), using that we were able to boot into these ported ROMs.
If we use stock boot.img, we just have black screen or bootloops.

I flashed that boot.img over stock ROM, touch worked then.
Which means the problem ain't from the kernel.

let me see if I can fix that while compiling from source.

Are you able to separate/find out the touchscreen drivers from stock?

that mean a70 have custom kernel. And you used stock kernel to port rom? Also some time needed to add full toch driver in kernel. But it's not always need. And i don't know more info in a70. Are you asked help from playfullgod? First time i see toch problem in gb. Ics have toch problem. I think other a70 dev will help you to fix toch. Because i never used a70. If you faced ring problem then i can help. In other ported rom adb was working if working then you will find why toch is not working. And in cm7 roms always use custom kernel.

A70 doesn't have kernel source.
Can't use custom kernel.
We can only modify the ramdisk.
PlayfulGod doesn't have A70 either....
