[Dev Only] Collaborative thread of ICS on HTC Evo View [Express]

---

Alright, this thread is for all developers to post their progress, sources, etc for other developers to work on. There will be NO tolerance of "Good job" "thanks" etc, just click the damned button on the bottom. Now, what I have so far, is found that the tiamat kernels from cayniarb don't even boot so no kernel logs from that. I assume jmz may have something to contribute with kernels.

Here's a port of the flyer ICS rom (not the one chaos is working on) for the view. It boots to a black screen but you can get a logcat. We have gotten it to the bootanimation before so it should'nt be hard to do. If someone posts logcats (since I don't have the view) I will still help out

Good Job and Thanks ...sorry i had to. But yeah, what we have now is looking like a kernel issue. I have source and Im looking at it but that DOES NOT mean, im going to be able to do something useful. lol.

What we really need is a good work over the kernel aspect.. I think cayniarb's done a decent job getting it initiated but he doesn't have a view to test it on :/
I only understand how to modify the source of existing kernels, getting AOSP kernel out of the source for whatever was tailored by HTC is way beyond my skill, so I look towards you guys for that.

We've have several guys trying to work on a kernel though, what's the status from each of their end? (Thought they were all working independently, etc)

sorry to jump in to this discussion, but had to know if development is under action here or somewhere else? WOuld love to see some progress with ics on View, cos right now my View is about to die... ive lost intesest in it. Its sluggish, slow and not optimized... have faith in you guys though

Any chance you still have that port? I might be able to make some head-way if all we need to get this booting is kernel work.

Hmm well that port is really outdated. I tell you what, I will try and get a basic port going of the Sense 4.0 ROM of the flyer and upload that for you guys to mess around with hopefully you will be able to get a logcat out of it

You're the man, thank you sir.

Well I'm trying to upload it and I keep getting stuck on 1% which is really annoying so I'll try again later.

You could possibly use the boot.img from the kingdom ICS leak (evo design 4g) since it's the same exact chip and pretty much the same Hw except for the screen(which could cause an issue?). I tried just booting that leak(only changing the partitions in the update-script to match the views) and of course it was a no go which I expected but had to give it a shot anyway. lol So then I edited the build.prop and copied over some libs (which I think is the problem since they are HC libs). I also unpacked both the stock HC boot.img and the kingdom leak boot.img. I'm thinking I have to make changes there but I dont know what to change. I dont even get logcat access just stuck at the HTC screen
