ALPHA Mesmerize AOSP ROM Discussion w/Pics

Last night was an interesting night for me. With the help of jt1134, of course, I was able to get a semi-working build of AOSP to load and boot up on the Mesmerize. For those of you who have not seen this, it is pretty neat stuff. This means NO TOUCHWIZ on the phone at all. Pure google goodness! What this also means right now, is a lot of work for the people involved. These guys have been really going at it lately and it is slowly paying off.
I'd like to pay credit to these guys for their work so far and all their work in the future, as I'm hope they won't be stopping any time soon.

and anyone else out there that has worked on this project that I don't know about.
Last night I got to do a very small part in helping out and I was glad to be able to be a part of this.
This required a modified kernel to be able to load and boot. Although I have built several kernels using jt's github source, this is the first time I have had to modify content and it gave me insight into some of what is going on in the kernel. It's definitely more than I had ever thought before.
Here are some screen shots that I took while running the ROM.

Info w/modified kernel & build number
I will not be releasing this build, as I do not feel comfortable with it's stability just yet. I also want to get jt's approval before letting it out into the wild since I am following his lead on all of this. This was done more for discussion purposes to see what you guys think and to let you know that work is being done to give you more options than just ROMs made from stock.

Well this is sufficiently awesome
Looks like a good start. Thanks.

When you say Pure Google Goodness are we talking Froyo ? or better.. Gingerbread?
And if you need a tester I would be more than happy to help out.

I know you are all super excited about the updates, but if you look at the build number in the picture, it says 2.1-update1 ECLAIR.
jt has been working on this for 3 months. I just got the Mes to load up last night. Let's see how things go and maybe we'll start an Alpha ROM thread in the development section.

Yeah, there's a pretty good list of wallpapers in it. These guys are really putting some work in to making a top notch product. If we can get a few more kinks out of the Mesmerize version, I'll release an Alpha.

Looks like it's on the side burner for now. The good news is, the reason that it's been put on the side burner is that it seems possible that a 2.3 AOSP build may fix some of the problems that are happening in the 2.2 build. I don't have many of the details, but they've got the first steps working. As soon as there is a build that I can start to work with, I will post pics.

I would like this sooo bad. It would be awesome

Sounds like good news to me.

Looking really nice, cant wait to see what comes of this!! just want something other than 2.1 errrrrr

Sad thing is a friend of mine asked this same question a few hours ago. I need new friends.

Hilarious. Wonder if current roms are on hold till 3.0 is ported?

it is just amasing that how many people are trying to ask the same question in many different ways.. Maybe, when the devs finally cook the honeycomb rom, they can send private invite to the forum members who didn't ask for the port. Let's those impatent people wait for a little bit.. I know that it is a little bit mean but just look at the gtab forum in last few days... flood with those questions.. And not very helpful.. in the mean time, you can always stop by a verzion or bestbuy to take a look.

This is the best thread ever.......hahahahahahaha

Until android 4.0 comes out in 6 months

This is a great thread.
I think we've all been spoiled by Rothnic and Roebeet and the rest of the devs working on the GTab. Remember when TnT Lite was getting updates daily.
I can't wait for HC and indeed Honeycreams, but it'll be worth the wait since we'll still get it before most of the official HC Tablets are even available.

Finally
Finally a thread I understand!!!

I LOVE this picture! Thanks!
Btw, for those who are interested -- this is a lot harder to do as we suspect Moto did some sneaky things. I cannot get the dump the boot on my GTAB/Adam, and I have been trying. The Adam port was a cakewalk in comparison, as they had released an nvflash dump on the day of release.

I am a complete noob to this scene and, while I had been patiently awaiting the release of this honeycomb I keep hearing about, I had been avoiding posting on this topic as I can see that there has been some frustration on the part of devs being pestered by people like me who don't really know what we are talking about!
But after today, I have to speak out! I think you DEVs are nothing but a bunch of lazy bums who like to THINK and make others think that you know it all. With all the money you guys are getting paid for this, I can't believe you haven't gotten Honeycomb to us Gtab owners sooner!
Hell, I was talking to my buddy Jim down at the convenience store and he already had honeycomb. He said that it was BIG yah,yah,yah. It's not small no,no,no.

It was dumped right there in aisle 3. I'll get back to you EXPERTS once I find a way to get it on the g-tab.

Which case do you have on that puppy? And thanks for all the great stuff you've done for the gtabers!

Ha! Thanks man. After Fielding x amount of "bricked my gtab 22 minutes after I got it today" posts (you,me and many other forum menbers) a little out of the blue humor hit the spot

Very nice Robeet! Needed a bit of humor this morning. You and the rest of the team are why I tried out and kept my Gtab. Rarely without it now.

Must apologize
Roebeet-
I must apologize. I think my dyslexia is getting the better of me. I just realized I have been mispelling your name.
Sorry

Nice case.

That ain't nothing. They managed to misspell both my first and last name when I graduated from high school. When I saw it on the announcement sheet...

Haha nice! I have those too. Use them to let the wifey know it's "yellow light special" time.

They SAID my name wrong, even though the moron had a card with my name in large letters in his hand. My name is donald, he said david. That principle was an idiot.

Really nice case, anyone knows where to get it or what is it called?

Heh heh NICE woot! woot! - completely lame get to 10 post, tough to ask questions and make intelligent comments when u don't even have a tab yet. I'm done.

"it2steve" -- he's an XDA member and prominent over in the accessories section.

For those asking about the case
It looks like they took down it2steve's thread where he reviews and has photos of 7 custom cases for the gTab. You can go to his web store by clicking on the link below.

not sure if I missed a inside joke, but when i read the topic I was expecting to see a thread about how you met a guy on craigslist who was selling a gtab from woot and you got robbed for your bike

[ROM][9/30/11]ThunderROM │Coming Soon![0.1][Bricked-Kernel]]

This ROM is being based off Xboarder, it is total basic. Much faster than Xboarder. You guys will see all the system apps i deleted! Everything is extra smooth. I removed lwp but u can add them later!

Welcome, always good to have another chef in the kitchen! Waiting for more details ...

Might be the youngest chef here on XDA, 12 years old! Can't wait to see what you got cooking.

He's twelve? I feel like such a failure now.

Hard to believe a 12 year is/can dev, especially the way he said in the OP

i think we should stop being surprised by age and everything with the doubting and whatever. im just wondering what a kid would be doing with a cell phone like a sensation at his age and who was the one that taught him or when he started learning.
if this is coming out soon, please include the ring lockscreen style

People are making a big deal about this and he hasn't posted anything yet. Don't get me wrong, I encourage all people to share on xda if they want to but from the sounds of it he deleted some system apps and might of made a couple tweaks. I'm not downgrading him at all cuz even that is impressive at age 12. Xboarder has developed some nice stuff for the age of 16 which is truly awesome! I wish both of you youngins great success .

How long will this be a "coming soon" thread? That is, when will you have a ROM ready for download?
Reason I ask is that we generally don't allow "coming soon" threads. Let me know, and if it's not too far off, I'll leave the thread here for now

How do youngsters learn all this stuff???? I want to learn!!

Not being funny, but the 'chef' isn't a chef. It's another ROM with some more taken out. I hope he has the ROM-makers permission to use his ROM as a base for his...
Also, thought 'coming soon' threads were banned?

Considering the "ROM-maker" has actually replied in this thread himself, I'd say that it's not a problem and all cleared with both parties.
And you obviously didn't read my post either, only a few above yours.

Didn't see it was xboarder that posted either - need to stop scan reading when up early

I think its a bit cheeky downloading someones ROM zipmodding it then saying its going to be way better lol. Why dont you download from source and make something cool

What does it take to get a ROM these days?

I haven't had a rootable working phone in a very long time so I don't know what the deal is with development these days. What needs to happen other than getting a few devs who want to make ROMs? I'm sure we already have plenty of those with such a popular device.
Are we waiting for OP to release something? Just trying to h4xor the current stock images? Or what?

The phone has been out for about a week now? Definitely got to give it more time than that for ROMs/development to show up.
You mentioned not to complain that you're being impatient, yet this thread you created is screaming just that.
Not to sound rude or anything either, but it's always good to remember devs are just normal people like us who have lives outside of XDA. Give them time to not only deal with real-life stuff first, but also get the phone in their hands as well lol.
All I'm saying, it's way too early to be creating a thread like this.

Exactly, and chances are, most devs don't even have the phones yet.

Here's a suggestion. Buy a Dev a phone and I'm sure they'll drop everything and get right on it.
