First, I must thank kbeezie for being my guinea pig - he's definitely the next best thing to owning the actual phone (which I do not), and this would have probably never happened without him.
I have patched the CyanogenMod 2.6.29 donut kernel to work with the MyTouch 3G 1.2 / LE Fender. This can be used for other firmwares, but I have only created an update.zip for CyanogenMod 4.2.15.1.
To restate: THIS UPDATE.ZIP IS ONLY FOR CYANOGENMOD 4.2.15.1, WHICH YOU MUST INSTALL FIRST.
This is the standard CyanogenMod kernel, with a few patches.
It includes all the CM kernel features (including tethering), plus:
3.5mm audio jack ported
new memory map and extra memory bank were added
hardware 3d accel works (memory map)
camera works (memory map)
has the correct amount of memory (~190MB) (extra bank)
[*] Seems video recording does not work currently... or does it? may work with original CM 4.2.15.1 + this update.zip.
I have attached the update, but it is also available via:
http://zenthought.org/tmp/update-cm-4.2.15.1-mytouch3g_3.5mm-20100426.zip (md5sum 7915a543c9141bbac277867fe040f1aa)
Additionally, the patch I created is at:
http://zenthought.org/tmp/kernel-mytouch3g_3.5mm-20100426.diff
The patch applies against cyanogen's android-2.6.29-donut kernel, commit 0d1b80cd04298dee93e917580fc2bfed1d05b59f
This initial version of the patch is a bit dirty (I didn't bother to add defines for the magic numbers), but I may clean it up eventually.
If you have any reboots, please attach the output of /proc/last_kmsg when it boots back up - this file is only useful for the last reboot, so it is not useful if you rebooted any (even normally) after the crash. It should end with a bunch of hex numbers.
EDIT - THE PURPOSE OF THE PATCH IN LAYMAN's TERMS TO THOSE WHO ARE NEW AT THIS
There are three versions of the MyTouch 3G
- Original MyTouch 3G (32B)
- Original MyTouch 3G (32A/EBI1)
- MyTouch 3G Limited Edition / v1.2 (basically has headphone jack on top)
The problem is that HTC has not yet released the kernel source for the third version of the MT3G (aka MT3G LE/1.2), as a result fully functional custom roms are not possible, for example the ports that have been available thus far, such as the CM "Port", doesn't have working internet tethering, and every Eclair port for the LE/1.2 do not have 3D capability (no GPU drivers).
For example if you took the Defangled Base + CM ROM onto an original MyTouch 3G (32B), it would work fine. But if you did the same onto an LE/1.2 you would not have a working touchscreen, headphone jack, full memory (you'd lose bout 2/3rd of your rams due to improper mapping), and a number of other issues. By flashing the kernel patch above onto the rom without wiping you replace the drivers and mapping thus allowing the 32B CM rom work fully on the LE/1.2. Also because the drivers were created from source instead of hacked out from a boot image from the stock rom, all kernel features of Cyanogenmod remain intact. This is thus far the best attempt at creating drivers from source, due to reverse engineering, so that a custom rom has 100% full kernel functionality
My installation process
- flashed the Defangled base (Mirror)
- flashed the 4.2.15.1 CM rom
- flashed the above patch
- flashed Binary's theme
- Rebooted
"What works" list
- Youtube (Both SD and HD)
- Camera
- Camcorder
- Protected Market Apps show up (ie: Paypal)
- 3D (games are Fasssst, tested Radian, Totemo, Retro Defense, etc)
- Headphone Jack
- App2SD (but why would you want to on this phone?)
- Bluetooth/Wifi/Etc
- Video playback (tested on some mp4s)
- Google Voice 0.3.2 runs without crashing
- Native USB Internet Tethering (ie: in the Settings -> Wireless control section)
- Android Wifi Tether
- Compcache Support
- Wifi and Bluetooth internet tethering (bluetooth works best as it won't drain your battery faster than it can be charged)
What doesn't work (updated late April 28)
- Some users report random reboots on their devices, I've had em myself but its been nearly 24 hours since my last one
- When a headphone is plugged in it shows up as a Headset (Not sure how this may have a negative impact)
Reserved for future use.
Awesome! How can we do this for all roms?
And any theories for the camcorder issue?

In *theory* you can flash this patch onto any 32B Rom (non-EBI1) based on the same kernel (dounut). He basically had the CM 4.2.15.1 kernel to go off of. Also with any luck (maybe some incentive) he can do the re-mapping for the GPU so we can finally have an eclair rom with working 3D on the LE/1.2
Besides CM and Super-D I don't know of too many 32B roms, so I haven't really tested it with anything other than the official CM rom.
super d is based off cm source isnt it, regardless this is an amazing work for us tobeable toflash this over a 32b rom and it actually work.

It is , which is why originally when the MT3G LE/1.2 port was made he mentioned not releasing it due to how close it was to the original CM port. I am incredibly grateful to the op for his patience, based on our chat logs we been whacking at this for several hours a day for nearly 4 days now, and he doesn't even own a MT3G LE/1.2 , he's been relying on me to test update after update, I almost feared he'd call it quits given how much of a pain in the ass it seemed lol.
if i had a way to currently donate i honstly would but i dont lol, i want to flash a 32b rom and this over it to test but i already have my port of super eclair 3.0 set up and flying

Correction again, camcorder + camera both work
1) Flash Defangled Base
2) Flash Official CM 4.2.15.1 rom
3) Flash patch
viola (I was using the MT3G LE/1.2 CM "port" earlier and flashed the patch over that, this time around I used CM's official rom).
i hope he makes a kernel compatible with the new cm coming out soon for the g1/mt

he is putting the final touches on the new cm rom for the g1 and 32b mytouch, itd be awesoke once its released a modified kernel to run it on our phones, i doubt the new cm will have the old kernel because he is making it a 2.1 rom with camcorder and 3d acceleration working from my understanding of his twitter posts.

Well according to zinx it wouldn't be that much more work to make the 2.1 patch.
Donation Reward
I've updated the first post for the donation (or bounty).
All we need is a paypal or other link to do so for the person responsible Zinx Verituse [OP] to show him our appreciation.
Perhaps on his website at ZenThought.org?
My G1 died a couple of weeks ago, and mistakenly I got a Cliq XT...sure did miss my CM!!
I saw the original port of CM to the new MT3G 1.2 and decided I was going to return the Cliq XT and get the MT3G. Just got it this evening and then saw this post! What timing. Already rooted and it's working great!
Awesome job. I'm going to check finances and see if I can't donate something.
So happy to have my CM back.

This isn't a rom. This is a patch to use roms (Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 and likely SuperD roms).
Random reboots
I'm getting kernel panics pretty often now causing random reboots.
Sometimes I don't do anything at all. The phone boots... sits and loads and then reboots.
http://pastebin.com/Hpg1U2TX
btw i did not flash this directly over the original 4.2.15.1 but the ported version instead. everything still works. tethering, compcache, video, etc.
not sure if it makes any difference.
I tried defanged, rom, then patch and it would reboot at the lockscreen but never wiped.

It's not a rom, its a patch, and when used with Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 , on my LE, I do see copyprotected apps in the market just fine.

Oh, thank you for pointing that out. I see that now.
I guess that leads me to another question... how does this differ from, say, gsxR's implementation? I suppose that's where "*PROPER*" comes into play?

Maybe not so proper after all. But I'm enthused about the attention being given to these MSM72xx phones, especially the new CM 5.x that Steve and others are working on. Now that's what we should be starting a donation kitty for.
I'm moving in 2 days, so I won't be able to give this a try for a time. But I'm interested in the progress.
Hi Everybody! Found a GingerBread Rom on Evo 4g and thought we should work on getting this on the desire as well. Here is the original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863526
THIS ROM IS USELESS AT THE MOMENT DO NOT FLASH UNLESS YOU PLAN ON DEVELOPING AND REMEMBER THIS IS FOR EVO MUST BE PORTED TO DESIRE FIRST
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/CW0ZLRM3RS
What does work:
Boots
touchscreen
fixed bottom buttons
fixed sdcard
fixed usb
Fixed data (thanks incdoes for some help with this)
Fixed roaming
fixed haptic
fix force phone close
What doesnt work:
Almost everything
Credits to everybody who has made this posible and specialy to Echoside who has done most of the work.
We already have "GingerNinja"?
Sry but isn't this even buggier than Adams release?
EDIT: I never installed this one. It was just, it sounded buggier.
As said in the first post, you can't flash it on the desire as it hasn't been ported.
So far AdamG is currently the only Dev who's released a Gingerbread ROM that you're able to flash for the Desire.

Managed to port some of the framework, nothing close to a release yet, maybe someone can do the job faster then myself?
No point of getting another sdk port to work on desire, it will NEVER run smooth or work well.
We have to wait for the AOSP to be released.
thank you any way mate....
Well, it's worth a try, thanks for it mate.
THE DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED SO THAT IT CAN NOW SHOOT BOTH RED(NEW) AND GREEN(OLD) CAMERAS.
I've been unable to make green lense kernel modules work well with new kernel. GB kernel is dicks!
So i performed a fusion of 2.3 firmware onto 2.2 kernel via 2nd-init.
Pros:
Stable kernel
No ultra-bright buttons
Cons:
Somewhat slower than official 2.3
Live Wallpapers don't work
Contents:
2.2 (3.4.2-177) kernel
4.5.134 ramdisk
EGL drivers from Froyo
Camera libraries from Froyo
Sensors library from CM7
libsurfaceflinger/libserver_init from Droid2 GB OTA
libcamera wrapper by me, based on CM7 wrapper by maniac103
BlurCamera ported from Froyo (GB one is not stable)
Installation:
Install official GingerBread via nandroid + fixed sbf
Install 2nd-init recovery 0.6.1 or later
Install zip from recovery
Download:
http://tihiy.net/files/greenlens/GreenBread_1.1_release.zip
Make mirrors.
Disclaimer:
This is tested on latest (134) leak but may work on older or newer releases. I'm interested in results on those.
This is beta mod of beta firmware with frankenstein-esque methods
This may or may not work on red lenses
I'm not responsible for your damages
Please don't spam this thread with bugs, don't start flamewars and don't whine
Thanks to everyone in CyanogenDefy team!
Mention me if you're using my work.
GOOD。
but i used CM7 now.
I guess this will cause usb and wifi tether to not work?
This is great. i have red lense but this makes gingerbread development able for everyone.
This is just a great work for green lensed phones....

I'm really happy this has finally been done. I've sold my Defy few days ago and I regret that I could give the official 2.3 ROM a try. Good work !
works like a charm in my green lens defy. by the way, its the first time im running official 2.3.4, 4.5.1-134. i found it a bit laggy in comparison with nordic froyo and miui. maybe i need some reboots. im runinng shadow´s rooted version by walter (nandroid + fixed sbf).
EDIT: in the OP theres an advice that says live wallpapers dont work, im at wpclock 1.5.3 working as well.
yes dont work live wallpaper!

I have a stock gingerbread unrooted and I wanna try this. I've been searching, and it seems that the only way to get the phone rooted is having froyo first and flashing a nandroid. I am really lazy to go back to froyo. Is there any way to root GingerBlur?
I dont understand its for kernel 2.2.2 but we want for Gingervread kernel
But thanks
Is there any problem except live wallpapers.How is performance?I shld install and try this.
Is it support touch focus???

How many times does it needs to repeated there is no such thing as gingerbread kernel. Kernel is one thing android version is another! Gingerbread can work with 29 32 35 kernels. Moto uses 32 to GB and froyo too.

Will try your ROM, hopefully everything will running smoothly. Soon i will get back with some review
Thanks, it wont work so good as we know, there is 3d drivers issue that make it slow, and others
Stay tuned. This ROM will be the smoothest and the fastest one around here.

Some of these sound like a kernel issue. What kernel are you using?
ezgb-1.5.3 ics
I don't think these are kernel issues, because it works fine on powerplop's base. Few of them should be fixed tonight.
My mind is blown!! Im trying this as soon as i get home and flash it to my G1. I wonder if, when HTC made the G1, they had the slightest idea that almost four years latter it would still be getting use and that more importantly it would have such advanced software forced into it and still run nicely.

1.5.3-ics? Is it safe to assume that's the one I built? If so, did you try the linaro one? It should perform a little better.
I should get back to work on my ics and jb roms and kernel. I've been really neglecting my android projects recently...
