___________
Don't flash any other kernels. they won't work.

changes:
hexed defy camera libs
HD profile 854x480 green lines in gallery, plays fine on pc
SD profile 640x480, plays fine via gallery
* camera saving null jpegs fixed
* camcorder working
* enabled TLS register user in kernel and userspace
* enabled 1% battery charge display
* lid switch reporting fixed again (haha)
* updated wifi drivers and firmware
* usb storage and adb work
* probably something i forgot

compiled kernel with gcc4.5, userland with linaro gcc 4.7 and -O3

still broken:
camera flash
gps (it was working before. RDS_SOCKET permission issue??)
speakerphone and bluetooth mic routing
HW decode
native tethering

if you like my works, feel free to buy me a beer

Validating file 'device/motorola/sholes/sholes-keypad.kcm'...
No errors.

made a new kcm file according to googles migrating to ICS docs.
also hacked nf_qtaguid from googles ICS kernel into 2.6.32, it probably won't work right though

progress update

MMS is working. alos noticed that red and blue are swapped.
starting pvrsrv via init.sholes.rc causes graphics to be black.
starting after boot via adb doesn't. weird.

durandgir · Dec 17, 2011

You sir, are my hero, even if it's not fully functional you have made it farther than anyone else, so far only one other person has tried over on droid forums and he gave up so far

kfazz · Dec 17, 2011

sdcard works, adb root doesnt. teh process never respawns probably usb related.

durandgir · Dec 17, 2011

so I booted it up and was confused at first by the lack of touch screen and yellow colors

kfazz · Dec 17, 2011

I'm trying to get teh ts working still, using this changeset as a guide

Any progress in ICS should be appreciated!
Looking forward to ICS for milestone.

kfazz · Dec 17, 2011

new build, touchscreen fixed.
bootanimation is disabled for testing.
keyboard is still weird, alt and B keys aren't working

also, for a good laugh check settings->apps->running->memory

http://www.mediafire.com/?m3yjdp2e329cknb
boot_EGL_broken.img -<only difference is this starts pvrsrvinit in init.sholes.rc
i tried with and without gralloc.omap3.so in /system/lib

boot.img can be flashed easily like this:
ken@kitchen:~/android/kernel$ ~/Desktop/sbf_flash -f -r --boot ~/Desktop/build/boot.img --recovery ~/Desktop/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-sholes.img ~/Desktop/MC1_A855_1282081087_Recovery-Only_SPRecovery_0.99.3b.sbf

if installing gingerbread gapps do this through adb:
255|shell@android:/ # mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
shell@android:/ # rm /system/app/SetupWizard.apk

You are a monster, you are making great progress I'm going to half to load your latest build up later

Sent from my CushZero using XDA App

ChungWingKeung · Dec 17, 2011

is that also for milestone

thx

durandgir · Dec 17, 2011

So I flashed your newest build and stayed on it for 20 minutes exploring everything now that the touch screen was working.

I installed it on my droid. Very nice progress you have going on here. A lot of things work and of course a lot don't. For people who are too afraid to flash, heres a list of what I noticed is working.
Working:
Phone Calls (Speakers don't work)
SMS
3G works great
touchscreen
sms
downloads from browser (installed facebook.apk but couldn't log in because alt key doesn't work on keyboard)

doesn't work:
screen properly, no blue, the yellow looks kinda cool though
screen orientation, to get portrait view you need to slide out the keyboard otherwise its stuck in landscape mode
no onscreen keyboard, only physical works, except like mentioned alt and b dont for some reason
wifi wont turn on
bluetooth wont turn on
gps, couldn't find on googles homepage but browser still works without it
camera
usb doesnt work, mac won't detect it at least when i plug it in
network doesn't display proper network, T-CDMA 64 instead of Verizon
music app doesn't work, its froyo's music app, i think its because the speaker doesn't work not certain
no vibrate mode? only silent mode and ringer doesnt work
neither speakers work, nor does the microphone i believe
anything else i mightve missed probably doesn't work

overall this is amazing progress and it really doesn't run that bad. give it a shot and play around with it for a few minutes, just don't forget to nandroid!

also no hardware acceleration, screenshot force closes the UI. but it is much smoother than I thought this really proves to all those people saying that ICS wouldn't work at all, someone has it booted, I can't wait to see the progress this guy can make. so far he is doing an extremely good job.

whats the button combo for screenshot? i tried volume up+power and volume down + power, neither did anything i just couldnt remember what it is for nexus

durandgir · Dec 17, 2011

I'm pretty sure i'ts power button+down

Some of these problems are simple:
Rotation error is /data/system permission error
Adding this to init.sholes.rc fixes it
Chmod 775 /data/system
Alt and b problems are errors in /system/usr/keychars/sholes-keypad.kcm

The patch I used to fix graphics has a define to ovverride EGL config, this might fiz colors
I've seen several patches for legacy audio support floating around, haven't tried any yet.
Virtual keyboard missing is because sholes device makefile inherits from core.mk instead of one of the more complete ones. A complete build will require a larger system partition or other trickery.
Other things will probably be harder

something else I noticed with signal and data, it stayed gray. but other than a few quirks it's still impressive I don't stay on it because I only have one phone but I can't help but to flash just to mess around with it
