[Dev]Honeycomb on the Desire HD [Video & DL]

BazookaAce kindly made a thread at the general section to inform us about Honeycomb for the DHD, so I thought I'd make one in the development section to give it some spotlight, BazookaAce's thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958391
Here's the good stuff:
Video of Honeycomb running:

I did not develop this. The purpose of this thread is to inform our developers here about it.
Good luck.
Edit: My findings:
No wi-fi, no telephone, no brightness control, no sd-card detection, stuff on the homescreen (launcher) are not organized. And it's slow since there is zero ui acceleration.

Of course, performing a Nandroid backup is highly recommended.
This is only a plaything & it's not good enough for day to day use.

Devs work your magic

Great! Hope it will be stable soon!

Hmm. I've always thought that it was common courtesy to ask before doing. Not that I'd say no - just saying.
Here's a few tips:
Landscape via opening the camera app and then closing it.
Spare Parts -> Font Size -> Extremely Large Font. That way you can read without straining your eyes.
Also, if you allow your screen to turn off after the bootup, it will turn down brightness for each time it turns off. It won't turn it up. Weird little bugger.

Tried. Working. Buggy. Didn't expect much more though .

Wow looks like honeycomb is not only for tablets. In phone too.

This is just awesome news. U will start working in it soon.

so what are you suggesting then MR NOT-ALLOWED-TO-SAY-AWESOME???

i am just saying we should focus on truying to make it work share what we figure out instead nothing is cool before we actually can use it after all it is a dev section!

I`m suggesting U start new thread about this port in general section "YEAH YEAH - reaction after Honeycomb port" and do not post here usless for developers posts ( IN DEVELOPERS section) ... If everyone will post just COOL GREAT WOW ... in few minutes there would be 10 sites about nothing and real developers couldn`t find here anything to make it better in so many useless post.

its developed for tablets only and UI is too small for phones,its no use for it on 4 inch display !!

Guys how long do you think, we need to make it stable and usefull for the day?
And from who is that video and who is the developer of it?
I don't say awesome, i say quietly brilliant

you've seen the video right?!!?!

As you can see in the video it's quite useable concerning the size.
But this ROM is build from the API-Preview SDK, so nor its finished nor it has any kind of source code behind.
I think as soon as google releases the source code we will see a proper Honeycomb version for our DHDs.

so, usb debugging is working and if you change the density to somthing higher you get a pulldownmenu and a forceclosing launcher but there are sings for a phone interface.

Ok all g2x ics stuff goes here!!

ICS ANDROID QUESTIONS GO HERE!!!!!
Quite frankly im sick of seeing a new thread or an old thread revised every 4 weeks. Basically from the point of a dev and a fan I am submitting this thread. I want to see every old or dev thread closed and all questions or suggestions pointed here.
I have personally exhausted most of my resources trying to fix the problems we have within our tegra g2x builds. This device is completely closed source rather like to admit it or not. blame it on all you want to.ether
The bottom line is lg and nvidia only releases source for their bottom line **** that makes tegra work, and we have done patched that in and made it work to some extents.
Yes Alot of us devs can make cm9 work and alot of us can make aosp4.0.3+ work. but they will not opensource their work. To the same extent we where stuck at with the vibrant and the gps issue.
All i can say is do not buy another lg device or another tegra device. Yes the transformer is bad ass, but if you protest to a level to where no one wants there work they will be forced as an oem to make there manufactures push their source and make it relevant to the point the oems do.....

Thanks for this, all the other ones seem really useless and never stay on track anyway. . I wonder how long it'll take before some guy trolls the hell out of this one. Lets try to keep this one only pertaining to AOSP ICS or CM9 development and/or progress.

This works...but at some point it will get off track...most of the people that are in the the other threads can't get a working build and since we don't have any builds to test anymore its tough to stay on topic with something you aren't using.

Yea, that's crap, I mean, one of the things I like about Android is the open-sourceness. If only OEM's would realize that an open-source system will, in my opinion at least, get more and better support FROM THE COMMUNITY tahn a totally closed system. Take Windows for example, we all have have things to complain about and most can't do that much, even with third-party programs which can be used to correct problems or bugs or add features. On the other hand, there's a game series I follow where the Dev's explicitly made the games open for easy modification, the only "closed" part is the actual engine itself which was developed from scratch. And what resulted was a fan base who took initiative to correct bugs and add features, sure people didn't like the fact that the games had bugs initially but not only did the community take action but the devs even incorporated community fixes into official patches and credited the person who made the fix. Now the dev company has gone solo and publish their own games and are due to release a fourth in the series with a strong fan base. And here we have people who will refuse to ever touch, Nvidia and/or LG ever again, and not just because of bugs, but the fact that it's closed and we get crap for official releases and fixes and crap for support.
/end rant

Ok let's get on subject, what works and what doesn't work in the ics development for our phone? I don't have a twitter or facebook so I don't keep up with the news.

On the old alpha builds, it was sound and camera that didnt work i believe. On my build, it was data, camera and sound. Don't know about kwes' build. CM supposedly fixed the sound issue, but aren't sharing sources yet. So we're kinda at a stand-still until LG releases some source, or CM lets us know how they fixed the sound issue.

I just compiled the aosp 4.0.3 for G2x. I used the google's sources not CM9. However it doesn't boot. I was just wondering how did you guys got it to boot?
Also, the aosp source requires recovery as well to make the otapackage. Is there any way to make the otapackage without recovery? This is not a very big issue as i can manually make the otapackage.
booting up is the big hurdle. Any help is highly appreciated
Thanks

Well CM has had perfectly working ICS build except camera since Thanksgiving. That was like 2+ months ago, maybe they've fixed camera by now who knows.

Right, unless CM got camera and data to work. And if all this is going to be open source anyhow, why the secrecy and lack of sharing? As far as I understand no one is making or going to make money off this so, what is it? Is it some petty game of who's the biggest baddest dev?
People can remember CM for being the first to release ICS for the G2x but only because they kept their work secret and didn't share or because they shared their work with others and others with them and they came out on top because they are better or they didn't because they aren't better, etc.

I'd guess that there are many reasons for CM to keep their source closed for now, not the least of which is reputation. Also competition is one of the things that drives development. Open source is not just about giving hard work away for free.
Here's a great article that helped me to better understand the nature of open source.

I hope this help fix audio problem...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my fix for SU660 ICS audio...and it work for my ICS AOSP 4.0.3 (SU660 = KR version P990)
I think currently, we must use the libaudio from CM7/Stock rom.......
SO...
1. Modify star-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk
BOARD_USES_GENERIC_AUDIO := false
BOARD_USES_AUDIO_LEGACY := true
# Use dirty hack to allow froyo libaudio
BOARD_HAVE_BLUETOOTH := true
BOARD_HAVE_BLUETOOTH_BCM := true
2. Add audio.primary.p990 audio_policy.p990 into your star-common/star.mk. (This will use hardware/cm/audio. DONT USE audio.primary.tegra audio_policy.tegra!)
3. Use my hardware_legacy.tgz , extract it into star-common/include. The code is mainly from VorkTeam's github, thanks. I only made some fix in it.
4. Copy from CM7/Stock rom : libaudio.so, liba2dp.so, liblvvil.so
Audio should work now...

Camera Improvision

So, I have been messing around. And I have come to find that the stock Camera.apk and CameraFirmware.apk from the SGS4G on froyo 2.2.1 are mostly compatible with the Sidekick 4G. In fact the camera looks better, and we could possibly port the zoom features somhow 0.0 so I have been trying to figure out how I can get started with this "idea". It would be awesome, there are a couple bugs so far.
Bugs:
-No zoom (yet)
-No highest res in Video Recorder
-Some resolutions have no review screen
-front camera is flipped 90 degrees cc ( I wanna work on this first really, if I can get some help starting it)
Just looking for stuff to do with my limited current knowledge.
(Sorry, still new to informative posting -_-)
I just linked some shots
Here is plain camera view, you can pinch and see the zoom box but the image doesn't change
--> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/Screenshots/device-2013-06-15-114243.png
Here is the flipped-sideways front facing shot --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/Screenshots/device-2013-06-15-114814.png
And last, here is the said apks:
Camera.apk --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/CameraApks/Camera.apk
CameraFirmware.apk --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83829634/Android/CameraApks/CameraFirmware.apk

That would be nice to have if it works better. The camera is one of the weakest links on this device I think.

I know little to nothing about the cameras hardware or software, you may just need to match the libs but you also may need to rewrite drivers, that part is hard.
Keep us posted, very interesting!

It would be awesome to finally have a camera with zoom is what I have been thinking. I'm not very good when it comes to code, I've still been taking courses and practicing here and there. But as far as testing it out, I can practice on my own device and let you know if I figure some things out.
Maybe another thread somewhere has the information I need to get started. Flipping the screen should probably be easy. (Hopefully heh)

Update
Haven't found anything too helpful as for the screen flip. Maybe I am looking in all of the wrong places? Tried Google-- got nothing, and maybe the forums use a certain term or something.

Maybe try to change picture size instead of screen flipin as the only big issue would be on screen buttons but should still work ?
If you still look for screen flip its basically the same screen same size an everything so instead of looking to flip change the location of them?
Sorry going off the few post with no pics or video of it

Ha! And here I've been thinking this is a good camera that takes pretty dang good photos! I also thought it did zoom but mine was broken

It's not the worst camera out there. I do wish they had included a flash though. The Sidekick LX 2009 (last Danger HiptopOS version) had a flash.

Just out of curiosity did they kinda downgrade i guess world be the word the sk camera. I notice in alot of aftermarket camera apps it registers as being 4.9mp like the sgs

A review yesterday posted that they used the Google camera and results were much better. Question is if both cameras are being used

Thanks. Another thread pointed to a v2.2 at this link . Not sure what changes there. Will continue to play with this.

What is the difference in the versions? Will things like auto HDR work?

I don't know the change, you'd have to reference the Russian forum and even with Google translate I haven't quite tracked the dialog. aHDR is working fine, based off another XDA thread the slow-motion camera isn't working.

Hey guys, sorry to give you a screenshot of the picture comparison but I'm a bit lazy today and forgot to turn off the geo-location tags. Hopefully i get some more shots in later this weekend and post back later.
I'm using the v1.4 the original GCAM app from the XDA article. I can't say that I trust the v2.2 from the Russian site at the moment so sorry again. If it gets updated and the XDA article says it was updated I'll be more willing to try the v2.2 app.
What you see is the Essential app on the left versus the GCAM app on the right. I prefer what I've seen from the Essential app but in actual usage the GCAM works much faster and believe it or not feels more stable. As you can see there is definitely a difference in picture quality especially around the glass and text. Mind you I'm coming from a Pixel XL so that is my frame of reference as far as what I should be expecting from both apps. From looking at the picture versus what my eye is seeing the GCAM is more true to my eye, however I find the light/dark balance more pleasing on the Essential app. Personally I really hope Essential gets it together because from what I've read the GCAM software doesn't make use of the monochromatic lens and I think that if someone can combine the best function of both apps we as the users would be the real winners.
If I can get more shots without the metadata in it I'll be sure to post them up. Otherwise I'm subscribed to this thread so I can keep up with the latest updates for the GCAM app.

I cannot get this to install for some reason. The when screen is unresponsive when I try tapping the install button.
Edit: toggling unknown sources again seemed to do the trick

Just messing around with my Essential camera between GCam 1.4 (aHDR first) and EP (HDR second)... You can clearly see the difference in low light...
Neither are great but GCam turned out better.
The next 2 are from my OnePlus 5...GCam 1.4 (aHDR third) and then OPO (aHDR last)

Man OPO looks worse (and even GCam is somehow worse on it as well...) also it looks like OPO goes to the pink side with Gcam but not its stock cam. The EP Cam just look bad all around lol.

Honestly I don't think Essential is better. :-/
I think I'm going to return mine.

The download links are unable to locate mirrors so I cannot try either version of the camera app listed in this thread. Am I missing something or were these files already taken down?

Got mine 2 days ago and installed the 2.2 Gcam. Personally I don't notice too much difference but then again I'm a colorblind old man. Just had this happen when I opened the Essential Cam and a reboot fixed it. I haven't been able to reproduce it yet.

I tried the 4.4v with zero shutter lag that B-S-G had posted on another forum here. So far it seems to be working quite well, it's nice to have the google interface again and it seems to take better photos, though I'm terrible at photos in general so it's hard for me to tell.

The name is a misleading, the variant linked in the article is 1.4. "4.4" I believe refers to the Google versioning of the app, not the port versioning.

Official Gcam for SD845 - Is quality improvement for OP6 mod expected?

Hey guys and girls,
just wanted to know if the gcam mod for op6 will get better when Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel 3. or will it be easier for developers to get better results for the op6 gcam mod?
will the devs of gcam mod stop their work on the present mod because it is based on the sd835 gcam app? if so then why do the devs even work on the mod now and up until the official sd845 gcam app instead of saying "there will be no gcam mod for the op6 until Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel3 (sd845). we will begin working on this project once the 845 app is available".
are the devs working on the gcam mod just because they are so kind/helpful/... that they spend lots of their free time just to get a working mod right away instead of waiting for the actual app that Google will release shortly? or will all the development into the present app help the devs once the sd845gcam.app is out?
And when did Google release the gcam app for the pixel 2 last year - together with the phone release or was the software available before the phone release?
lots of questions,
would love some clarification!
thanks so much,
v.

The whole thread belongs in the original thread. How a forum should work, so you speak to the developers directly..
1: it might
2: it might
3: they would probably stop using that base.. But keep some things in the code. (might)
4. Well... There are things you just don't know if they even will work properly or not when developing something. There are people in this world that just want to TRY make stuff better or just have fun with it. It's like saying there is no need to save people from starving because we will never succeed... And we therefore don't even care for trying..
5. Sigh... .. Peace out.

thx for answering,
I did think about posting my questions in the thread you mention. but I figured it's too much off topic. I didn't want to interrupt the actual development thread as I'm not helping the thread with useful info regarding the mod.
thanks for your reply,
v.

Well, it's good but the autofocus is slow and not accurated, sometimes got tint pic and the Portraid Mod is bugged (crashed and freeze). Other than that, the CameraAPI is not used so no full features like 4K 60fps etc. and more scalable resolution for photo camera.

This is a very important question, to the point if i keep the phone or not....

Why is camera API not used ?

On old days of OP1 they ported from Find 7 (Camera 2.67)...
Maybe from Oppo R15?
