What works:
It boots
Touchscreen
Wifi
Mobile data
Audio
sdcard
Bluetooth (maybe. It turns on. I don't have devices to test with)

What doesn't:
Camera
Hardware acceleration
probably everything else, tell us

Note: the rom zips are not signed. Flash with clockworkmod, or sign yourself. Once this becomes more usable, I will start signing them.


very slim gapps http://www.mediafire.com/?o94hh30vh0q1oy7 (there are here for testing purposes. contains copyrighted google code that I am not really allowed to distribute. use at your own risk!)

possible fix for camera:

flashing instructions:
you need to use custom mtd. I used 140 for /system and 20 for /cache (rom currently requires a /cache partitoin. will be fixed in a later update)
1. download all needed files and place them on your sdcard. mtdpartmap.txt needs to be at the root of it
2. flash recovery patch.
3. wipe system, data, and cache
4. reboot into recovery.
5. flash rom and kernel
6. Flash gapps if desired
7. flash boot patch
8. reboot into rom
9. wait.
10. enjoy the awesome

To use data, you need to put in your apn settings. Google to find these.

Thanks to:
Google - android
CyanogenMod team - the awesome rom
Aokp team - aokp
Ezterry and AndDiSa - kernel for ics
Infinimint and the united dev team - hosting and support
My girlfriend - for loving me even though I worked almost all day on this.

Pictures (screenshots later)


Sorry for the blurry pics. Used my other phone running cm9 with a partially working cam

Roadmap:
Slim down (in progress)
Mess with hw acceleration and camera (maybe never) - this will be alpha3/beta1 if it happens
Port AOSP

Changelog:
Alpha2.2: update to latest code. good cm9 release.
Alpha2.1: not released
Alpha2: fixed audio
Alpha1.1: small fixes (keyboard, other stuff) cm9 only bugfix release
Alpha1: fixed wifi, sdcard, and home button (skiped in aokp)
Alpha0: initial public release.

If you want to build yourself (please do, we need more people fixing stuff), the repo init command will look like this:

Note: rules on using this rom for other projects
Most of android is under the apache2 license. just don't violate that and we're good.

more specific rules: source is on my github, do whatever you want within the terms of the licences. make your own rom, use it to port other devices, release a rom that is exactly the same with a new name and a shiny theme, I don't care as long as you are building from source.
If you use prebuilt anything from releases of this rom, please be nice and send me a pm asking for permission. this is supposed to be an open community, but i hate seeing 20+ cm7 roms with nothing different except name and bundled apps. If you don't ask, and you havent made something different enough from this rom to be worth having its own thread, it may or may not get reported.

forgot to post kernel in the op. fixed

Posted pictures in post 2. Enjoy
If you look at them carefully, you can see the box thos was built on. And you can see my girlfriend's leg

Can anyone confirm the status of wifi and data? I'd test wifi, but I can't find my girlfriend's phone and she is asleep...

I don't want to put water into the wine, but ... The status of the ROM is more or less in the same state as I had my ICS some month ago. (@Tvall: you should have a look at my repo, if you didn't do that already.) Wifi / Bluetooth should work without problems, at least at that time I had it working. The biggest problem (and the most important reason why I suspended the wok on it): to low memory on the G1. Startup of services from time to time failed even without any additionals apps installed.
Probably on the MyTouch it will run better, but I do not expect, that it will run decently on the G1, but I might be wrong ...

It runs decently (apps dont close much) on my mytouch, which is why I'm working on it. My plan is to get cm9 stable enough, then work on an aosp rom. That should be a little lighter.

Nice work! Have you tried the EGL files from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526920 ? Hero has same gpu (adreno 130) as dream/sapphire so it *should* work Not sure about kernel however

Not yet, thanks for the link! If that works, I'll release another alpha as soon as I fix the home button..

Has anybody gotten this to run on a g1 yet. I managed to install, but it went crazy. I started doing a force close loop. By that i mean that it booted started then said trebuche has stopped working. I press ok then com.android.phone stopped working. i press ok then trebuche has stopped ... and so on. I followed the install to the letter a few times but i couldn't get it to run.

I have a mytouch 3g 1.2. It has more ram. So... if it works for me it might or might not work on a regular 32b device
