for keyboard if adb is running on expo what you can do press keys on your device and see dmesg output , in that output you will see row ,column and key value of fathom, send me that row column value and desire key (what you actually want) then i will prepare a new kernel for you. In same kernel i will give you touchscreen dmesg output functionality so then we will know what value we have to change.

I've been too busy to play around with Android lately, but I'm still interested in this project. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do what you suggested. What is adb, and how do I tell if it's running? And what keys do I have to press to see dmesg output? And is all of this done in WM or in Android?

On another note, I tried www's cyanogenmod on my LG IQ tonight, and it worked quite well. I tried the alpha 3 version. It took longer to boot than Ajeet's 2.3.5 version I tried, which booted in under a minute. Cyanogen took 4 or 5 minutes to boot, and it let me get to the home screen and play around with a few things. The touch screen and keyboard are still off by too much to type anything (e.g. typing an "a" resulted in a "d" and typing delete/backspace resulted in a 'k'. Touch the very bottom of the delete button would produce an 'm').

I did notice that pressing the fingerprint scanner button three times always took me back to the home screen.

720p is disabled in kernel also in android you have to use 2.3.7 image i have uploaded earlier. I am doing kernel cleanup will upload 720p kernel after that

ajeet, can you make git repo for kernel? I think this is a easier to develop with version control. I can't upload sources to git, because i have slow (1mbit\sec) upload speed.

And - have you any news about kernel?

Please, add my modifications to kernel - change nvram path and buttons mapping (see my post on page 13).

P.S Have you any Instant Messengers? Such as icq (aim), jabber, etc?
p.p.s little request - can you fix fbconsole for me? kernel is not compiling with fbconsole

guys can you do something about the microphone?

ajeet do you think you can do anything about accelerometer?

Yes Right now working on MIC issue will see after that , www2827 can you write detailed steps for how to compile you cynogen mod build

1) Install repo and download android sources:

Code:

mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/fathom/system

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

cd ~/fathom/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j16

2) Clone my cyanogen vendor and fathom device repos:
If you don't want to remove stock cyanogen vendor folder and replacing it by me, you can try to patch it with this

Code:

cd ~/fathom/system/vendor/
rm -r cyanogen
git clone git://github.com/www2287/android_vendor_cyanogen.git
mv android_vendor_cyanogen cyanogen

cd ~/fathom/system/device/lge/
git clone git://github.com/www2287/android_device_lge_fathom.git
mv android_device_lge_fathom fathom

3) Build it:

Code:

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch (choose cyanogen-fathom)
mka

4) After build complete, you should compile ramdisk and create ext2 system partition manually
4.1) Ramdisk:

Code:

cd ~/fathom/
git clone git://github.com/www2287/fathom_ramdisk.git
cd fathom_ramdisk
mkdir cpf
cd cpf
cp -ar ~/fathom/system/out/target/product/fathom/root/ .
cd ~/fathom/fathom_ramdisk
mkbootfs fathom_ramdisk | gzip > initrd.gz

4.2) System:
Get system.ext2 image from my build and place it to ~/

Code:

sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop ~/system.ext2 /mnt
sudo rm -r /mnt/*
cd /mnt
sudo unyaffs ~/fathom/system/out/product/fathom/system.img
cd ~
sudo umount /mnt

You should run unyaffs tool with root perms for owner and groups save after decompressing system.img

unyaffs and mkbootfs you can find in ~/fathom/system/out/host bla bla bla (find ot manually

)

If you have any questions - write here or to PM, or to Google Chat. I will help you.

accelerometer is working (because cat /dev/bma150 outputs sensor values to dmesg), but we need implement support for it in libsensors.
proximity sensor works too (we can test it from /sys dir), but i don't know how to read /dev/input/event4 (proximity event file) from libsensor.
I think, Ajeet can implement this.

and if you fix accelerometer will we be able to use it in games? cause on win mobile games it didn't work

yes, it is. I believe we can't use accel on winmo games, because our phone has diffrent accel api layer, than HTC.

New RIL

Ajeet and I have news for you:

we tried to use HTC Incredible S (viwov) RIL and this give us a little success:
1) Fast GSM network finding (there is no signal strength, operator name, operator finding now)
2) Incoming calls (answer and decline is't working)
3) SMS receiving (buggy-wuggy)

But this is really unstable.
We present new experimental build when we can.

are you saying that calls didn't work before? cause for me they did (but hang up button didn't) and sms worked too, send and recieve. in your cyanogenmod build

Outgoing calls is working in alpha3. You can hang call by touch to "hold call" button and touch to hangup button after it.

sms is not working for me in alpha3, and incoming calls too.

yes sorry incoming calls and outgoing sms don't work just checked

waiting for next build )

Outgoing SMS will not be easy to fix as AT+CSCA command is not allowed by modem. We have to figure out other way to do this

guys don't forget this thread please ))) . i got one question. why is battery life so short? on idle it loses 50% in about 10 hours (100% in a day). and when playing or watching videos even faster, but thats not a surprise. the problem is idle. only one day is very bad.
ajeet i would install your 2.2 again cause it was faster (now i have 2.3.7 that www posted) but one major problem with that one was fn key functions were messed up, do you think you can do something about it?

also can anyone write down what is and is not working in those versions (2.2 - 2.3.7) so we can compare? thanks

and one more thing, not related to android. i see you two are also outside us, could you get gps working? (on winmo) i tried many things but could not get it to work. i use gsm/umts mode, does it even matter what i set if i'm outside of us?

we don't forget about this thread. we are working on new release.
battery life is so short because suspend mode is working not fully in alpha3. in new kernel ajeet fixed that.
