Hi,

I've decided to publicly release my device & vendor files for HTC Chacha:

https://github.com/adumont/android_device_htc_chacha
https://github.com/adumont/android_vendor_htc_chacha
https://github.com/adumont/htc-kernel-msm7227

Hopefully someone can help with the missing parts and help getting the rom better with a better support to this nice little phone (if that is the case I'd appreciate people to do pull request and share their work).

To build SuperOSR:

Code:

repo init -u git://github.com/SuperTeam/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch team_chacha-eng
make bacon

Let's the fun begin (or continue) :-D

IIRC, here are the modifications I did to other repositories:

* Change I87e5f21d: Add chacha support (HTC ChaCha A810e)
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11922

* Change Ice487342: InputMethodManager: prevent Sym key from displaying the IME picker
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11924
https://github.com/SuperTeam/android_frameworks_base/commit/78e0d0ed4b9850292856a5720589f58690ebf1f9

* Change I279d3283: Implement rotation compensation for landscape devices
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11925
https://github.com/SuperTeam/androi...mmit/eafe204ce415d05c49f687512955bb78e2097cea

Unnecessary patches (Abandonned or already merged):

* Change Ic7ad89ac: Change proximity behaviour for devices w/ fixed keyboard (MERGED)
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11926
https://github.com/SuperTeam/androi...mmit/942d97d95495705d6f46b3d5d43cfbd10efe0d64

You can download the sources, and build a rom from source for HTC Chacha.

Added (for the moment it's a temporary fix, it's not pushed even to SuperOSR git)

This would mean official CM support, right?
Also: might it be a good idea to get CWM Recovery that we have in the forums submitted to koush so we can use ROM Manager too?

Just a tip: If you can, add ext2/3/4 mounting in it - the current CWM we have can't mount /sd-ext, but can format it

Hello. I finally decided to test CM7 in my ChaCha. I'm used too much to Sense style of work, but I'm trying to get used to this.

With stock rom, lgCamera didn't allow to record 800x480 videos, being 720 the most. Now with CM7 I can select that resolution and record videos in that resolution. I can even select 1280x720 but the screen get garbled. I think that is a limitation of the camera firmware, and being that it's the same camera modula the HTC Desire Z has, maybe it could be 'ported' to chacha.

I'd like to know if the kernel the latest CM7 port has /proc/mic_level enabled or included. I'd like to be able to set the mic recording level, and there is an app for that (Mic control for HD2), but it can't work because the absence of that /proc/mic_level stuff.

Thanks for your work.
