Holy crap, netarchy is still alive!? Yes, yes I am.
Despite the many rumors of my untimely demise by the hands of hordes of lust-stricken women, I am yet still standing. ;D
Once upon a time there was this company that made phones called HTC.
Now HTC had this habit of making pretty neat phones and then being absolutely crap about releasing source code. Oh wait, I said "had" when I really meant BLOODY HAS.
So now that HTC has FINALLY released gingersense sources after much ado, I bring to you the initial release of a kernel that is named after the variety of tea I was drinking
at the time I decided it would be a good idea to come up with a name for this bloody thing: Golden Monkey (which is an awesome tea btw).
Current things of interest:
- Overclocking and static undervolting
- CIFS
- TUN
- TinyRCU
It's early yet, and there is a lot more stuff due to be added in the coming days, but as I just couldn't put this down until I at least put up *something* for you guys, I'm
giving you this early build to play with.
It turns out that while these builds are aimed at gingersense, they may also work on CM7 and other AOSP-based roms (your mileage may vary, I make no guarantees ;D)
Are there bugs? Yes probably ;D Consider this a preview for the moment.
Downloads:
These builds may not be compatible with all roms, as some rom developers are taking it upon themselves to do some heavy modification of basic system layouts. Your mileage may vary.
Current Version: 1.1
Golden Monkey 1.1 (Universal)
If you are using one of the Synergy rom nightlies (and ONLY the nightlies) you may need to use this version:
Golden Monkey 1.1 (Synergy Nightlies ONLY)
Code:
Changelog:
Revision 1.1
- Fix a scaling bug that would prevent some overclocking frequencies from showing up
- Set Tiny RCU in config
Revision 1.0

Ok seriously...noobnl was our only dev on the cyan team. Is anyone planning on taking it up?
Noobnl can you plz just cme back for a litle get it booting and working ill help!
I had the evo, and noobl your the only reason I switched to the epic. You need to be on the team.
Ok I'm off my soapbox promise
About cyan...could we just replace the anroid.com.phone from the one on the epic? Its the fc u get when u boot up. Id imagine some libs would have to be screwed around with. I'm not that good but am a quick learner so please get at me if you know how to compile and can lead me in the right direction.

well I guess the main differences between the ACS and the CM Team are that the CyanogenMod team is just better!
I jest I jest. I have used both CM6 on other phones and Syndicate on my Epic and I appreciate the work any dev does. Especially considering how barebones the Epic forums will soon be if things keep going the way they have.
However, the main differences with CM6 and Syndicate have less to do with tweaks and more to do with source. CM is built from the ground up off of pure old android. Off of the original sdk from Google. Syndicate is more or less based off of the latest and greatest Samsung firmware. CM6 isn't just customized to be light (although its always been a huge plus) it also comes with things that just aren't possible through any other ROMs. Touch to focus inside the camcorder for one, or swiping away notifications ala webOS style. Also building in a modified version of the way Sammy did the power widgets in the notification shade from SCRATCH. The menus are much more functional in CM than anywhere else.
The only way to really see why people get so excited here whenever the words "CM6" and "Epic4G" are mentioned in the same sentence is to try it out on a supported device yourself. Than you will see that CM6 is established. They have long been around. They don't just modify ROM's, they create. They make the product that I would love to see come stock from Google. CM6 = One of the best experiences you will ever have running android on your phone. Period.
That is all.

I had CM6 on MTS3g for about 2 months and loved it,CM6 is pure android and is probably the best rom I used but what im sayin is tha Syndicate is pretty damn close to CM6 in terms of responsiveness and speed,but CM6 got extra settings.So if its compiled from scratch what benefits it has over say Syndicate rom besides having more samsung and sprint sht removed?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I've had about 12 different phones in the last three years or so including the epic. And I have to say one of the most exciting in terms of modding core behaviors was the palm pre. webOS was an OS that almost anyone could gain dev access to and tinker with. Android is (in my opinion) more powerful, and because of that it takes more know-how to mod it, which is why devs like BTThomas22x and all of the ACS and Noobnl and many many others on here deserve a lot more respect than they are given.
But, again, personally, I have yet to really see anyone take android and mold it the way the CyanogenMod Team has. I bought the epic on day one, mainly for the screen and the hummingbird.. but I almost chose the EVO at the last minute because it already had Cyanogen on it. The wait is long.. but the results will be worth it!
I wish those dumb mf's that make webos would just make large screen phone,webos is really atractive but small screen keeps people from buying it,how those corporate people keep their jobs is beyond me.

LMAOOO I totally agree! Then again, thats part of why palm sunk and was bought up by HP. The hardware didn't attract enough customers, so dev's didn't really support it, so app's not enough apps got made, so even more people stayed away from it. pretty soon a lot of devs left it too. Its a sad thing when an OS launches with only 14 apps. and its even sadder when 3 months later nothing has changed.
And all of this is totally skipping over the fact that Palm chose to launch on a carrier that didn't have the service it needed and didnt get the advertising to survive.
Ah, well. We're getting off topic tho lol Android for the win!

Bionic is libc for Android. It's a target for optmization because most android programs call into Bionic (functions like memcmp, memcpy, strcmp, etc. are all there) - making bionic faster would improve the speed of a lot of other programs at once. So far, 10-50% improvement seen in microbenchmarks on the optimized version of these functions.
changelog:
version 1.0:
-initial release
-backport changes from gingerbread (switches to v6 atomic instructions, faster strlen)
version 1.1 updates: <--current version
-updated memset, memcpy, memcmp, strcmp, strchr, strcat, strcpy, memchr to faster, optimized versions w/neon or DSP instruction support where applicable.
version 1.1: http://www.nuerom.com/bionic/update-1.1.zip
old version 1.0: http://www.nuerom.com/bionic/update.zip
to restore back to the EC05 version, run:
http://www.nuerom.com/bionic/restore-ec05.zip
Most likely it'll only work on something close to EC05, but I haven't really tested.
benchmark with 0xbench - http://code.google.com/p/0xbench/ (libmicro) to see improvements.
you'll need a bunch of binaries installed for libmicro, i've compiled them and provided an update.zip here that will automatically install these for you: http://www.nuerom.com/bionic/libmicro.zip

This is also working just dandy so far. I don't have any benchmarks to back up any sort of substantial performance gains, but I'm sure the few tweaks you're doing here and there will add-up to a very nice user experience improvement. I have noticed that after this as and the davlik patch were applied, the interface seemed to be much more fluid and smooth without any annoying pauses you sometimes get due to scheduling.
So again, thanks no2chem and definitely keep up the badass work, mi amigo!

Holy crap is right! This guy was KING back in the days of the TP2 (the last time I was privileged enough to own a device he was developing for). He actually seemed to disappear for a while (web page and from forums) so glad to hear he/she is alright and ready to produce some more amazing work. I am suddenly VERY OPTOMISTIC just knowing a great dev is on the task, particularly one that's been dealing with such intricate coding/mods (dude found a way to get extra memory available by disabling the camera, in a way that made the phone HUGELY more useful! For just one example...)

It's a target for optmization because most android programs call into Bionic (functions like memcmp, memcpy, strcmp, etc. are all there) - making bionic faster would improve the speed of a lot of other programs at once. In fact, it's at the heart of the idea that drives the greendroid project: http://greendroid.ucsd.edu/ which aims to implement libc in very power-efficent conservation core (c-core) hardware. While we can't do exactly implement new hardware, we can attempt to improve the speed of our device by backporting the latest updates to bionic to our devices running older versions of Android, and also optimize Bionic in other ways.
I'd imagine this project requiring several parts:
1) The first part is to figure out how to compile bionic and update libc.so on our phones. It's actually not a trivial task as the exports in AOSP version of bionic differ slightly from the version on our phones... Fortunately I was able to fix that by implementing the missing two exports (they were syscalls).
2) Backport changes from the master bionic tree into our bionic while maintaining the same interface to applications. Fortunately, libc doesn't change much, and they've mainly been adding new functions to bionic instead of changing old ones - I've backported most of the changes now.
3) Figure out which functions are slowing the system down and could be improved. This will probably require some profiling to figure out which parts of libc android spends the most time in.
4) See if there's other places we can take optimized functions from. Some canidates include glibc, the linux kernel, and the implementation in ARM's RVCT.
I've done 1-2 do far. I can't really tell if there's a performance change, but it seems to boot okay on my stock EC05 ROM. There's an update.zip posted at
http://www.nuerom.com/bionic/update.zip
Most likely it'll only work on something close to EC05, but I haven't really tested.
It seems that some string functions were optimized, at least one (strcmp, i think?) was replaced with an assembly version that was 10x faster, and some bugs that caused atomic locking code to be suboptimal were fixed).

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to finally bring you the Evervolv series of ROM's.
First thing I would like to say is that this rom would not be possible without the CyanogenMod team. I am merely here to bring you how I like my phone setup and give you more options over a base build of the gingerbread genre. My qualifications are inferior to what is required on some of the fixes that were made. Thus I rely on the CyanogenMod Team for their expertise in these fields.
The current team of Evervolv constists of:
preludedrew - Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, Evo Shift 4G & Nexus one maintainer; overall support & development
mwielgosz - Liberty, Evo 4G, Evo 3D maintainer; Java development
cocide - Evo 4G; Web; Linux and overall support & development; Viewsonic GTab maintainer/support
milesje - Evo 4G; java and overall support & development
Adhvanit - Graphics and Droid Incredible support.
RyteSyde - web and graphics development; Evo Shift 4G support
TpyoKnig - Web support and hosting.
smoothtaste - heroc support/maintainer

This is an ALPHA release of Evervolv for the HTC Liberty. If you have issues, please report them in this thread.
Screenshots of the ROM in action can be seen Here - Screenshots
Downloads:
http://goo-inside.me/devs/crossbones/unsupported/evervolv/aria
* 1.2.0a3 is a nightly build, not sure how stable it is
* 1.2.0a2 is the confirmed stable build
Make sure to do a full wipe, even if you're coming from an older build, just to make sure.

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.
How social is the evervolv team?
You can join us on IRC, irc.freenode.net #evervolv. Or follow preludedrew and the status of Evervolv @preludedrew on twitter.

It's not 100% ready for mainstream use but I expect that to change in the next day or so. Also, there are a number of tweaks and modifications that were part of the Savaged-Zen ROM (my old dev team) that I wrote which I plan on bringing into Evervolv once time allows.
That said, expect some cool stuff to happen with this ROM over the next few weeks!
Very cool! Can't wait to try it out
Sleek!
Promising!
Thanks!
Tried it out. Hardware functions seem to work well. Was able to Bluetooth pair with my laptop and transfer a file (can't find my headset ATM). WiFi seems to work well, GPS lock was quick indoors. I don't know if it's just the weather or what, but GPS seems better than CM7. That is, if I exit Maps and do some other stuff for a few mins, CM7 would always try (and struggle) to locate me again, even if I haven't moved. This ROM seems to retain that info better, if that makes any sense.
Status bar notifications seem to be working. My wifi icon turned green when connecting to Google services, but not the signal bars--don't know if that is by design.
Power widgets are nice and work well.
Sent and received an SMS without problems.
Really like the slide up dock tray in the launcher!
Forgot to test hotspot...
hope this helps some
Edit: but yes, there are a ton of Google framework/Apps FCs, which you already know about.
great！waiting for more stable version soon,thank you!
phone/dialer fc's every time I open it, but other than that I love it.
Awesome. Been waiting for pure AOSP experience. I'll give this a shot later on today. Thanks for adding another ROM to the Liberty Collection!

For an alpha this is very stable and snappy.
Just a constructive remark: the choice of the font needs to be re-evaluated, it makes certain things very hard to read...not very "ergonomic" to the eyes...
Keep up the good work !

I agree with the change of font and we've talked internally about this matter. I'm going to post flashable zips with stock and good looking fonts soon. The default font included won't change but I will offer options soon.
There is a thread in the evo4g forums that offer over 300 flashable fonts. They work with this rom and are worth looking into. Personally, I prefer the Ubuntu 10.10 font offered in that thread.

For an alpha this is very stable and snappy.
Just a constructive remark: the choice of the font needs to be re-evaluated, it makes certain things very hard to read...not very "ergonomic" to the eyes...
Keep up the good work !

I haven't flashed this yet, but see if replacing DroidSans.tff & DroidSans-Bold.tff in /system/fonts does the trick. You could pickup the CM7 fonts, or try any other True-Type font.
EDIT: Type Fresh, created by XDA member openback, also lets you change fonts. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/type-fresh-change-fonts-on-your-rooted-android-device/
Just tried it, pretty smooth. A few things that bug me: 1, the colorized icons, maybe make a flashable zip that make them stock again? 2, the font, already been covered so I ain't gonna say much except that when I flash the Ubuntu font, some letters are boxes, happens in other ROMs too. Fixable? And that's all I gotta say, otherwise I really like it, good job!

Lol, don't sound so disappointed! No doubt Starsky will bring back the glory of TeamViper and I'm glad he's picked up where they left off. Trinity was probably the best of the roms (for me anyway) at that time so I'm all onboard!!!
tphillips has already given his blessing, he was the last to officially work on it after BT was sent overseas to aide with the recovery after the earthquake in asia. Wonder how he's doing anyway? Anyone ever hear from him? Last I heard he moved on to the EVO 3D...

He joined ACS and devs for the Photon now. He's doing quite well talked to him this morning. He may be doing something for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 soon as well, but he's been enjoying the work already done there.
silly mens
Glad to see a Viper Rom in the works! Thanks for the work!
I chatted with TP on Google+, and he's totally cool with Rob doing the port. I tried to coax him back into Epic OG development, to no avail. Anyway, many thanks to Rob for taking this on, and to former Team Viper for giving us this rich history on which to build!
Rob, I'll PM you for test info.

Thanks for the update, glad to hear he's doing well. He seemed to be a pretty cool dude, patient with noobs, and for damn sure, knew his way around the Epic. The ACS Team has a huge following and some awesome devs in their camp, I'm sure he'll fit right in over there. I'm getting Galaxy Tab 10.1 for my next toy so I'll definitely look out for his work over there.

OK beta is delayed due to me baking in the 10 locks mod, and theming it appropriately. Looking at the weekend for a release!
Hey all just wanted to see if I was the only one noticing this, but there hasn't been a new ROM in a very long time...I keep on seeing the same ones pop up. Is it because of the SOPA scare? I know it wouldn't have an effect on devs BC of open source though... Hmmmmm kind of inspires me to build roms! (but I would have no Idea where to begin...I'm just a nerd who puts a different rom on her phone every other day lol)
Sent from my bad ass HTC Glacier using xda premium
yeah it's true... :/
most of the devs are gone, moved on to newer devices...
i don't think SOPA had anything to do with this... development slowed down long before most of us even heard of SOPA.
yeah, the old ROMs keep coming up.. but new ones will come..
personally, my Team is working on a port right now, we're gonna try to release it ASAP
LOL i'm just a 14 year old high schooler who's obsessed with flashing ROMs rather than gaming x)
that's a first haha

Jessooca I was meaning to make a thread just to shed some light on this dark subject. As it is the truth most real dev's have left and abandoned us. Which is part of the XDA's natural selection thus comes rise to power of SuperPhone era as our ever weak SmartPhone is no match for those superior monsters. You have to see our phone came out in 2010Q4 and lifespan of it officially is 6-12months. This phone was never HD2-US (Leo1024) where community kept it life well beyond it should have and became the XDA's most defiant device.
When all the stars burns out in the universe and the darkness descend upon us. From far away in the galaxy out of no where a burst of light so strong that it could be seen from everywhere reaches us. As due to high radiation it will omit blue energy and it will be frozen like cryogenic. We the Collectors have foreseen and predicated its coming as it will fulfill prophecy for all ancient legacy devices. It is now known as CyanogenMod which will leave its strong footprint with CM7.2SR when all roms are stopped from being compiled.

Needless to say this phone has almost run it's course, it's powerful an capable of so much. But when team royal split, faux leaving,evil going mia an darkside leaving, that didn't leave us with much. We do have dev's like Feb,Gaza,bsbachert(if he is still around),eqjunkie an the team I'm on, trying to get this phone life support. It's hard but it's possible.
Other phones that been out longer then, I'll use the sensation an example, have better specs then us an is more widely known to mass's. That's why they have so much support. This phone is trying to be something it's not,a high class device to appeal to this mass. Ya our specs look like the DHD. Honestly if I saw this or the DHD next to each other when I bought this phone, well I wouldn't be typing this right now.
All I'm trying to say is, this phone is the messed up little kid that's trying to make up for all the bad things it's done.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Edit:I think that's my longest post to date, lol.
DhD-EU came out before MT4G. As we know EU folks always get superior hardware before us in USA. So when Glacier came out it was the most powerful HTC GSM device in US market. After which CDMA Vz-TB came out as it was devised version of DhD-EU for US market.
Like you Mr High I also picked MT4G. I was aware of MT4G in end of July 2010 as didn't waste time trying to buy Desire Z/G2 as DhD while perfect replacement for HD2-US was not viable candidate for me in the USA due to network capabilities incompatible with TMobile's HSPA+. So I got MT4G few months before it was dropped to TMoUS or I had another choice to pick SamSUX Nexus S (which is another thread of its own don't even get me started).
For those of us who is welling to stay with MT4G they should know that it is actually powerful enough hell we got 2gs 1ghz proc with 768mb ram. If we don't see official CM9 we might see some KANG's. But not to worry we can still use official CM7.2SR as AOSP2.3.7GB itself is not that bad. So if anyone is welling to take the stand with GB with me then I will release the 42.3MB GB2.3.X enhancement package. Which is a super power boost for all AOSP based rom using AOSP2.3.5GB-AOSP2.3.7GB.

Quite honestly it happens to all the mytouch line. Take a look at the mytouch 3g and slide forum....you can hear the dust falling. It looked like it was gonna die here back at the beginning of the summer then eViL d dropped fusion and it seemed to pop back to life. It happens. I'm actually liking flashing older stuff. I'm sure it will get boring but I forgot how complete and fast some of the older roms can be. I'm running doubleshot now and its running smoother and more fluent than 3.5 roms on here and I didn't have to flash 4 different things to get it working properly. You tend to forget that these devs on here made stuff that actually works for our phone and not some multi device rom that never gets supported. I'm not speaking of Virtuous....lol!
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
I think the reason phones like the Galaxy S, or the Sensation, or even the DHD get so much support cause they're international devices, so devs all over the world can dev for those phones, unlike us here, who only have the US devs. Lol no one else even knows the existence of the HTC Glacier

I agree that things definitely have slowed down around here. Newer and better devices are coming out all the time though. But we do have some pretty sweet roms to pick from already though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
sure development has slowed down a bit, but we also have had some GREAT devs coming through here and working their magic. I mean just look at all the ROMS that are available to us...Froyo, Gingerbread, ICS, Sense, AOSP, MIUI...and with plenty of ROMS to fill each category(well except for ICS currently) I mean if you stop for a second, and really browse through the development section youll see awesome work. IMO, Id prefer a high quality rom that works in every way rather than always flashing the newest and greatest thing while dealing with all the bugs and what not. just my 2 cents on the whole thing...
Hello Nick and you know who this is we the illuminated ones have chosen you as one of few selected folks here who will be granted the GB2.3.X Enhancement Package (v1.0) so PM me for details. For other folks we need no beta testers as it has been developed for over 5+ months ago for private use but now going public due to ICS being imminent.

It seems like most of the work on roms is going into ICS and it's big changes. That combined with so many new awesome devices. Hell, I'm considering switching to a newer phone and I usually make mine last until they're obsolete.

There are no new ROMs in the wild besides crappy betas. No stable Sense + ICS, no similar devices with proper ICS. What development are you looking for? How many different versions of Sense 3, Sense 3.5, MIUI and half-baked ICS do you really need?
What is left - TouchWiz? Cross-device porting is a huge task, that requires tons of skills, and I wouldn't expect it to happen.
