Oooooh yes its lots of work. And patience to wait the compilation finish it...
I recompile all atm. I had forgotten to include all device.mk file :) maybe I will have trebuchet at first start (yes I compile cm11 :) ).
Gpu driver and libs seems to work... I have the boot logo (and a crash system. Bootloop)

First screenshot is near :D

Just a question: Are you gonna make this use ART, cause that's what I guess u will do and that's something that I guess will make the tab faster, but as far as I understand as of now ART makes a lot of apps not work (at least for now till they are updated)?

You have the choice. you can choose in dev option dalvik or art.
Or chane an option in buid.prop, set libdvm to libart or inverse.

I have a boot failure at start, i try to fix it.

I would like to try also kitkat on my 101, gen. 8 :good:

greeting

It will be possible with 2.6.29 kernel i think.

ATM on A70S2 - Gen9 kernel 2.6.35-7:
-TS working
-3D working
-Soft button activated on my tab (to see on others tabs)

Not working:
-sound (don't know why atm)
-BT (just have to configure init.rc)
-Wifi (recompile all with Wlan option, must work after)
-looooots of thing that i have not tested.


Another thing, Kitkat must have system in a different partition, you will have to install 3 image files in the sdcard (root of system, system and data).

I think that i will use directly the internal sdcard partition and write partitions directly on the sdcard (like a real partition, not an image -> better perf ). BUT a wipe of the sdcard is necessary (one time).

Hi biz,

I think that with the first test would be not so bad if the installation only with
3 image file would take place (simpler installation).

If the new system has then beta status could one then the partition
on the internal SD card drove through .

Are already curious on the new system

Partitions directmy wrote on the internal sdcard will be option at start.

Now. The main PB is the wifi hal. Because wpa supplicant v0.6 and wl1271 driver has been deleted from the code source of Android. I try to compile it for 2.6.35 (more easy because drivers are updated).

Let me see if there is a way to have wifi for 2.6.29 kernel.

ready to test for 101IT when you have something :)

Will the touchscreen be as difficult to make work as the last kernel you worked on these last few weeks ?

Cheers!

I don't know :)
But it will be more easy to fix than with CM9 (first experience in android compilation for remember ;) )

FYI:
I had few time to try the new image that i have compiled.
It's compiled with CM options (wasn't the case in CM9). Bootlogo is CM, themes doesn't crashed, but it lakes a little thing to fix.

I will try to fix wifi this week end if i have more times to dev.
I progress about it, ATM i try with 2.6.35 (only for A70S2), and i hope that it will worked with 2.6.29 (for all others tabs), mac80211 module is included into this kernel, but maybe the driver cannot be compatible

Yes and no, i work on it when i have times.
I try to find any ways to have a working wifi. I use CM11 wifi drivers but i cannot use it correctly (myukernel or CM11 is not configured properly).

When i have a working wifi i will upload an alpha release.

For screen and navigation button, i think that there will have no pb with it. The managment about this is very different.

To fix:
-Wifi
-external/internal sdcard not seen
-OMX codecs
-Sound HAL
-BT
-ALL
