[ROM][Huawei U8120]Android 2.3.7 - Cyanogen Mod 7.2.0 RC2 (09-01-2013)

sekosan · May 5, 2012

Got back to update26, when paired with mcTweaker it's much more stable, faster than update27, plus camera flash works. Only pitty about the smooth miui theme.

Sent from my Telenor_OneTouch using XDA

Is download link works?

Not on my side at the moment.

if someone have latest ROM, could you share it by another download link?

Cheers

Update 28

Download Link: Update 28
CM7.2.0 RC1 with Kernel 2.6.32-9-perf from Codeaurora
I suggest a format boot, system, data and cache in recovery=» mounts and storage, before installing
http://tinyw.in/p3se

Update 28 (08-05-2012)

Updated kernel 2.6.32.9 CodeAurora
Fixed several typos in Huawei kernel sources.
Enabled KSM (Kernel SamePage Mapping) support.
Turned on setting for Flash, forgot to add it in previous rom.
used libmm-omxcore and libomxcore compiled from cyanogen open-source instead of proprietary ones.
Better 2d performance (before, at 691mhz OC, Antutu Benchmark gave me 184 max score in 2d, now is 350)
Turned Rotation animation on by default
Fixed battery drain issues caused by camera after app is closed (finally)
Updated to latest cm7.2.0 RC1 sources

Hi.
First view in up28 - green glitches when app started(game atomic bomber etc)
How it can be removed?

im using now update 28 its very fast . the only problem i got its screen calibration . how can i get screen calibration app like slyking 241 rom ?

Hey joilaroi,

How did you improve the 2D score so much?

Also, what commit fixes the battery drain, is it the v4l2 change here? https://github.com/joilaroi/codeaur...mmit/91f05b62ad586d6e8263aea4826b82ff549bf7d8

Thanks

Hi Subpsyke

I think this commit for v4l2 video helped because we dont need it for camera and maybe cm7 calls for some functions. I also use this commit https://github.com/joilaroi/android_frameworks_base/commit/3d8f1f818e90a9c7378eb8d8638d07251f95e3d4 instead of commenting or deleting callbacks in camera.java

If you look at the v4l2 commit you will find a typo in camera.h, maybe it helps too.

apart from that there is some interesting commits in Dzo's huawei 2.6.35 kernel for the camera and loading of liboemcamera. I would like to try it to see if we can load those libs. some other day...

There are dozens of typos in the source code by huawei. look, at the previous commits in kernel, for "linux/hardware_self_adapt.h", "linux/proc_fs.h". the kernel and battery performance seems much better after these corrections.

As for the 2d I really cant tell but the typos seem important but I also added at the same time this commit by joeyjiao in drivers/char/agp/generic.c and some testings from 2.6.35 that are not uploaded yet but are for bluetooth and some cleanings.

I did not get the wifi module to load with Dzo's method to get mac because probably ar6000 driver dont work that way but the bcm4329 should.
You should look at this commit https://github.com/dzo/hardware_libhardware_legacy/commit/2fed5cb62c5c11e076e99b4bc79748764b102f6f
and maybe see this one https://github.com/dzo/hardware_libhardware_legacy/commit/4f573bde54dce8b1628d6563dbceb8c22a7c7466

I'm checking out your kernel and the commits you've mentioned. What's odd about the agp patch is that this driver is not even compiled, so I think the performance gain must have come from somewhere else.

Your kernel doesn't build by default due to errors in the mmc driver, I'll try to fix it up and see if I can see the same gains on my phone

thats strange. there are some changes in msm_sdcc for atheros but I compile with bcm4329 too.

You are right about the agp patch is not turn on.
If you want the latest config I can upload to github or here.
If its not as fast could you try the zimage?cause it has got some changes in board-msm7x25 and devices-msm7x25 not uploaded yet.

I'll give your prebuilt a try, thanks for the tip. Are you using Huawei's gralloc, or did you switch to the CM7 version using the patched header?

The problem with the mmc driver was that some of the code you imported relies on the wifi_chip_is_bcm being defined, but it's left undefined when compiling with the HUAWEI_BCM4329 build option.

About the wifi mac address - I already have it working on my port, but it's messy (using a shell script to derive the BT and wifi MAC addresses from the USB serial). Maybe you're experiencing the same problem as alanorth with the newer U8160 source - for him, the USB serial isn't recognised properly with this newer kernel source, but it works on the older Ideos source. We didn't manage to isolate the change that causes the problem yet. You can check if your USB serial is recognised a few ways, but "adb devices" may be the easiest way. You could try my script if your USB serial is valid, if the other solutions you linked to above don't work

Edit 1: I tested your kernel built from source, but it gives no improvement (in fact, 2d reduced from about 190 to 160). Your prebuilt zImage, however, gives 366 on the 2D test.

Looking forward to seeing your last updates on github...

words of wisdom - tips

joi and psyke You guys can't be serious.Can you hear the words you are saying(agp,v4l2).
==>v4l is essential to the camera which mediaserver handles.(s5k5ca) is the only correct camera sensor.It is probed as a i2c serial bus during bootup.
(s5k5ca) is the only one that handles the effects on the camera(the incandescent,daylightfluorescent)modes not java or android in this case.

I don't even want to mention agp.its embarassing.there is no agp interface or any serial bus supporting chips for this kind of hardware.

==>For the 2D boost.The kernel is not involved here and does not affect performance.This is totally android libs that have been updated.Think of it like this,If you play the same game e.g. red faction in windows XP it will hang and not load and in windows 7,through improved tessalation methods it will be able to run even if not smoothly.(i actually had this issue with alot of games in XP back in the days before windows 7).

==>Improved libs is the advantage here.Remember the CPU and hardware performance will always be the same.

==>Use this command in QtAdb or on the console [dmesg] it's a busybox command that will help you seriously debug your kernel.

Remember [dmesg].
happy modding

they're just tend to help..how bout you.. criticize others works that try to help "noob" user like me..instead of "complaining" others works, why dont you open new thread and release your own work..i've been seeing you attacking others with your knowledge, claim that you have better compiled kernel..where did you hide your "best" works??maybe you can show to joilaroi and subspyke..sorry bro..no offence..this is just for community to help each others, not to "attack" each other..together beeter than alone,helping much better than criticize..cheers..

Ok. It must be some things I got from huawei 2.6.35. I must clean some stuff not needed and upload changes to github later.

Im using cm7 gralloc with the patched header

sikiko,

I'm going to assume that you need to make an appointment with your doctor. It seems that your current dosage is no longer effective.

Hi sikiko.

Im a designer, not a programmer. But at least I try to learn, test and improve...
These roms are made for me but no one was developing so I decided to share.

Maybe if you had your own thread It would no be necessary for me to share the roms I compile and my thoughts would stay on my own mind.

I dont come where just to show that I know and go way like you do.
If you know so much why dont you share your knowledge and your source code instead of coming where and saying your kernel is super tweaked and good and point out what other say.

but I appreciate the fact that sometimes you look at my roms and point out the errors.

Best regards

Don't worry, sikko's remark are to be appreciated; his remarks are quite often noteworthy, so be happy with his comments.

sikiko · May 9, 2012

oops my bad

I just point out errors sorry if i came too strong.I don't have good internet to download 7+ gigs of source code so i use joi's Rom and decompile it.
