[ROM][CM9][ICS] OFFICIAL CyanogenMod 9 for LG C800/MyTouch Q/Eclypse

What is Cyanogenmod 9?
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

This version is still in development, but you may find it stable enough for everyday use.

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You may also track changes at BBQDroid Changelog

Known Issues

• Camera: Panorama previews are inverted, actual file saves right side up.
• MMC: Performance degradation with large media libraries
• RIL: Random (short) service dropouts in some cases

Please let me know here what other bugs you run into.

Coming from a PREVIOUS CM9 BUILD
You can flash without wiping if you are coming from another CM9 build.

1. Copy CM9 zip to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Do a nandroid backup (not required, but recommended in case anything goes wrong)
4. Flash the CM9 zip.
5. Reboot!

Coming from STOCK or OTHER BUILD
Before you begin:
Have CWM Recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752704

1. Copy CM9 zip to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. MAKE A BACKUP!
4. Flash the CM9 zip.
5. Wipe data/factory reset in the CWM menu
6. Optional: Go to Advanced->Reboot Recovery (if you skip this, sometimes zips won't flash. If that happens, you will need to do this)
7. Flash the CM9 zip AGAIN (and now the 4/29 ICS gapps package if you desire Google Play and Talk and such, available at http://goo.im/gapps).
8. Reboot!

FAQs
Q: Why is the touch keyboard slightly off screen?
A: The screen is too small (ICS is ideally for 800x480 or bigger screens) so to not obscure too much the bottom part of the keyboard is forced off screen. You can use a third-party keyboard like Swiftkey or Swype Beta instead.

Q: The keyboard buttons are all messed up...?
A: The physical keyboard contained some special keys that were handled by special code in LG's Android framework - which is of course proprietary. Some keys like 'SYM' and '.com' and the smiley face button don't really have good mappings in the stock android code. Let me know if you have any suggestions for what those keys can do.

Q: OMFG LAG?
A: There may be an issue with media scanner lagging the whole system in cases where large music libraries are present. You can try adding a .nomedia file to your music directory to fix this.

Q: How can I help?
A: All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. To learn how to begin with CyanogenMod Development, you can read up on how to build CyanogenMod here. The guide is written for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), but just replace maguro with c800 where necessary and it's the same process
Of course, equipment donations or monetary contributions are welcomed as well!

Q: How about CM10? Jelly Bean?
A: I'm unable to develop CM10 at the moment due to lack of a 64-bit build system, but even if I had one, many things would not work currently because Qualcomm have not yet released any jellybean specific code for our device (msm7x30 family). They are expected to release code in the future, so don't rule out CM10 in the future!

Did you upload the correct file? Or is this the one that wouldn't boot?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yep, just tested, it boots on my phone.

Edit1: Oh, I'm an idiot. Forgot to remind everyone to do a full wipe in the instructions.

Edit2: Oh wait. I did. Maybe dsreyes forgot to wipe.

Edit3: So he reflashed and it worked apparently.

I love you dude <3. My only issue is that the colors look kinda faded on my screen. not sure if it is my phone or not

Also, can you make a cm7 ROM (if it is not too much work) until cm9 is fixed up?

The pixel formats are probably just messed up slightly. Maybe the driver is outputting RGB565 when the screen is expecting RGB888 or something. It's a bit lower on my list of things to fix though - I'm just glad the screen works at all.

I can't build CM7 in my current build environment, I would have to downgrade a lot of my build utilities, and considering I'm doing more than phone development, that might not be a good idea.

And the screen is slightly over but nothing a change of dpi can't fix.
One feature I would love to have on cm9 is LG on screen

Click to expand...

The DPI is set correctly in the build prop - 160dpi. The issue is just that the screen is too small.
There are lots of other ways to get the functionality of LG on screen, the simplest of which would be VNC.

So the e730/e739 uses the same camera sensor (MT9P017) as our camera, same I2C address, and everything... I copied over camera.victor.so, libcamera_client.so, and liboemcamera.so, properly relinked everything so it doesn't freak out on boot... but I'm still getting "Cannot connect to camera" errors... FML....

I do think it's something in the kernel at this point though, the userspace is sorted but i think it crashes waiting on the kernel to respond properly. I get a bunch of logspam in the dmesg:

i'm sorry if this has already been explained, and i know this is the UNOFFICIAL cm9, and that there are still a few bugs, but is there an issue with the home button? i'm unable to get to home screen if i'm using the browser, or anything in cm9, the back button works, but not the home button... also is there a problem with playstore? all i'm getting is a "server error" and one more thing... i can't sync with google/gmail, so none of the contacts i have show up. again, i know cm9 just came out, but are these known issues?


other then that, i'm diggin cm9 so far, it's awesome chui! great work =D

Sounds like a bad flash and some of the files didn't copy correctly. Try wiping and flashing again?
