[PORT][WIP][dev]ICS port [booting-w graphics] looking for devs - HTC Sensation

Hello everybody,
I am quite new to android as i just bought this phone 3 months ago and before that i had an iphone.
I know everybody is happy with the upcoming ICS and the SDK that could be used for theme's, sounds and even more. but i know some of you are looking for a port from the SDK.
At this moment i am working on a port for the Sensation, but i have little to no knowledge on porting roms and such. so it takes a little while. but good news is i got it to boot up the service ril-daemon, and as far as i can see it will take a little bit more work till it will boot up fully.
If by any chance i can get it to work i do not promise that anything will work.
but i just wanted you guys to get a heads up on what i am doing at the moment and if anyone likes to help with development you are welcome to throw me a PM..
I will be updating this thread every once in a while when i have made progression.
A lot of work has been done. and i have made something that boots but needs a lot of work.
Whats working
-backlight screen
-buttons
-volume buttons
-boots
-hw acceleration (not tested just yet)
-screen
whats not working
-touchscreen
-all the rest.
we just got the screen working but wanted you guys to know it. we will test things out and upload later on.

device has got graphics working, but a load of services are failing so we still need to fix those things and hopefully get touch working soon as well.
DOWNLOAD LINK
ICS SENSATION v0.0.3
Just for dev only at this moment.

I'm excited either way.atleast someone is attempting a port. Alot of the devs look at it as a waste of time, but I don't think it is, especially if its as useful as the nexus s port. I wish you good luck my friend and if your looking for anyone to test, don't hesitate to PM me.

Nice to see you are making some progress with that
Keep us posted

Glad to see someone with better ability wants this too.
I myself have been trying this just flashed my first .zip file last night have not even run a log cat on it yet. So you are way further then me. I have also been doing a lot of research through the forums and plan to expand my research to other places on the web tonight to see if might come across anything. I got a lot of reading and learning to do as I am certain you know way more about what you are doing. Best of luck to you and I will PM you if I come across anything you might could find useful.
Oh yeah by the way you probably should have posted this in the development forums, that is if you do not already have a thread there. I have not visited the development forums today yet.
Best of luck to you.

you're way ahead of me too - zips won't even flash for me (no idea why) and if I do bludgeon one into working, then logcat doesn't work

Nice, three devs working on this. I'm really happy right now. You guys should just all work together on this so our device will be the second or third to actually run the port

I will have to go back and find the post I read it in last night but the poster named a file in the ICS system folder that they had to change to get logcat working. When I find it I will message you.
@nory82688 , Please I do not deserve to be called a dev, I am just trying to give back to the XDA community some.

well, you are porting ics to the sensation therefore helping the sensation to develop as a device therefore you are a dev, but i know what u mean tho

haha thanks, but I've lost interest - although it may be handy to make this more publicly accessible information. I'm also not a dev by any stretch of the imagination

Ok I found the post I was talking about, it was in the Nexus one port thread.
blunden said:
I've gotten connecting to the network working so far. SMS seems to work fine and it lists my network. I'm unable to use the data though. It just tries to connect but fails. Unfortunately system/bin/sh doesn't work so no logcat currently to see why.
EDIT: Removing /system/bin/sh and replacing it with a symlink to /system/bin/ash seems to have worked. Now I can run logcat at boot at least.

good job

reserved for testing!

Wow i hope and pray you guys get this port working for the Sensation and i wish yall lots of luck. I know it can be done with patience and pure thinking!

cannot locate 'android_atomic_cmpxchg'...
That's the error that's preventing boot for me.
It's 3am for me so I'm done for last night (this morning) I know I don't have a perfect port such as I know my inits need work, which might add another issue once this one is figured but yeah, idk where you guys are.

I have no time to dev this weekend but i will work on it on monday again. There is a load of work for me tto do.. i think you need to search for the file in any rom thats working and see if it is presented within the files you have.

Well I am pretty much stuck for the moment ass I can not get my build to even flash right now and can not figure out why........
But tarends messaged me and it seems like he is very close to a fully booting build. So hopefully when we all hear back from him he will have something that is ready for trouble shooting to get things working which I already have a lot of info that might help get a couple of things working on a build that will boot.

I suggest you PM tarends and ask him if he can give you a run down on what he has, I have not asked if he wants to discuss everything here in the forums yet. He would probably would not mind but I would rather ask first. I think I might have a lead on what to do to get my build to flash. I am not sure but I think I have to edit the build.prop cause it is looking for 4 mount points but only finds 3. Thanks to XDA senior Member malybru and XDA Recognized Developer mike1986 for helping to get me going in the right direction.

Nice guide, good work. Now have a beer!
This is just asking for trouble. You are overwriting and deleting system files that are in use.

Well Krylon I've done it several times and it works. If you actually had this phone you could try it yourself. While I can't write a custom recovery, I do have some experience with android and don't mind using unorthodox methods if it benefits my phone as much as it did.
BTW, what's with all the negative nay-saying?

its not naysaying, but the first person people hit up is krylon when they brick their phones, and he's just trying to limit that until they come up with a SURE FIRE way to do it. Dont take it as an insult
I wouldn't have posted it unless I thoroughly tested it on my own phone. My only thing is don't come in criticizing people who are trying if you've been gone for 2 weeks while everyone else has been trying to figure this out. It may not be the way Krylon would do it, but it works. And if for some reason it doesn't for you, by all means, flash back to stock. The risk is worth the reward.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
perhaps if you would read my tweets, you would see why I was gone for 2 weeks.
As far as being negative, I'm not. I'm saying this isn't a good idea due to the fact you are deleting proprietary system files/drivers that are currently in use, which results in a hardware failure. This poses a risk of burning/frying the hardware or causing the drivers you are copying back over to become corrupt.
Here is an easier/safer way to do this.
Download MagicISO, Download my Tar (which I think you already have), and download the deodexed rom.
Extract the tar
Open MagicISO
within magic, open factoryfs.rfs (you will need to change the drop down to look for all files)
This opens /system
delete app and framework dir's
open the deodexed /system
copy over app and framework dir's into magic
close, retar everything you extracted from the original

dbl post. My bad.
Much more constructive, thank you. I appreciate the help and advice and I will make those changes later tonight.
P.S. I don't tweet so that's probably why. Tried it and used it a few times but just didn't like it.

ahh ok, yeah, I had personal issues I had to deal with at work, pretty much got fired, but yet still employed, they gave all my clients to other employees, so I turned in my notice. Now I'm just cleaning things up, and job searching, and collecting a paycheck for the next 25 days. hehe.
So that's why I was inactive for 2 weeks.

here's the tar command you will want to use.
Download and install cygwin if you dont have linux installed.
move the files to cygwin/home/(profilename)/
tar --format=ustar -cf FILENAME.tar factoryfs.rfs cache.rfs modem.bin zImage
change filename to what you want the tar to be called.
OK I had the parameters wrong in cygwin when I retried it. I'll try these next.

any word on this process?
Also Krylon,
I heard some rumors that TW may already have some ROM's ready for this phone once we get a working CWM. Is this true? and is so could you maybe give a hint to what we might be seeing from TW?
thanks for the hard work and sorry to hear about the job.

[4.0] Problems (ME865/MB865/AT&T)

Let me share some first :
1. I just found that the rom can't run NFS Shift smoothly, at least in the racing part but not in the menu part.
2. I can connect my home wifi with 72Mbps (it reports...) but no data transfer after few seconds.... I'm still checking if there is a fxxxxxx guy using wifikill targeted on mine phone...
My phone is ME865 using the China leaked rom.
These are perfect examples of why you should NOT run the leaked firmwares. We have been doing this for 7 months now, and I have seen 3 different firmwares released, and EVERYTIME we get leaks people want to run the latest firmware and have issues and want help because now they can't easily get back to the way their phone was before.
YOU WERE WARNED by all of the devs in here.
Let this be a lesson to EVERYONE else in the Atrix2 forum.
Now, I know these issues don't seem so bad, but there may be more things to uncover yet, that are not working correctly.
To all Atrix2 users who read this: DO NOT INSTALL THESE LEAKS!!!!
Us devs will figure out how to get the ICS updates to the correct phones with (hopefully) some fixes to the issues BEFORE they are released to the public, but you have to give us time to do so.
I will say this now:
If you PM me because you did this, or if you post asking for help because you did this, you will end up on my ignore list!
These leaks are not supposed to be run by end users, yeah you!!!

hey , don't be so angry...
To be honest , I think this leak is too far better than the 2.3.5/2.3.6 roms.
I have never got any problems of the Class 10 SD card problems now, which is the most important thing.
I seldom play games and I think that's exceptional one.
I'm not asking for help for this issue but I think sharing the problems will make benefits for all of whom may/had/wanna try the rom. Thanks for your very kind comment to all of us.

I am not angry, I also NEVER once said that YOU asked for help.
What I am doing is trying to get everyone to understand something here. Myself and the other devs that have been here for a while are getting very tired of seeing that someone had an issue, that they caused themselves because they installed an update that they were not supposed to, from cheesecake. I am trying to get everyone to listen to reason here, and your post about issues that YOU find from installing an unsupported update, was a perfect example to use.
You have to understand that us devs do this in our free time, and we give you all 100% free support. You tell me where else you get that from.
So We have to keep everyone here doing their thing with their phones, and it seems that the ONLY thing most people listen to anymore is a little kick in the pants.
If you took some offense to my post, well then you prolly deserve some of that...
My job as a dev in here, is keep everyone from screwing up their phones.
Just wait till I am not here anymore, or that I do decide to ignore your posts, or PMs...
I know EVERYONE is VERY excited about ICS, but come on guys it will be a month or less before the official stable release comes out.

It's ok. I can't agree you more. We get all of you devs free supports and all the works are great. Someone did ask for help because of the leaked roms and some others issues/threads/posts/questions you don't want to hear/see/read. I'm sorry for all of the impolite /bad feeling you feel.
Therefore, I won't talk about anything about the leaked roms in this sections from now on. If you want to , you may delete those old post which you think it may lead the problems. For the development section, if there is a mircale I found something it may help , I will translate/forward it as before.
and believe me , sticking a red color thread which prohibits something may help. It's not about the freedom of speech. Cheers.

I think you completely misunderstand me here.... I am just trying to keep others from doing something that they can not recover from (not everyone knows how to put their phone into fastboot and apply the fxz). You should post these things, and it is good that YOU put this here....
I am just trying to keep other users safe from themselves so to speak.
ICS will be here soon enough. I was just using your post with pre-release issues, as an example to others, and again the other people in this forum only seem to listen if is in DARK RED, and says WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!.
I have absolutely no hard feelings about you or anything in this place. I am just trying to keep everyone focused on what they should be focused on.

Wait a second.... you're telling me you're running the China leaked ROM on your AT&T phone?
I wouldn't mess with that mate.
Running a ROM that wasn't designed for you phone just seems like an accident/brick waiting to happen. Good luck though!

Really liking this one so far. The power management tools are really nice, and so are the themes, I just wish I could read Chinese - the theme manager is great, but the TapasHot app store or whatever seems to confuse me Also, whenever you update the OP, you might take out "wifi" under major bugs, since it's fixed already.
Thanks for another bad ass ROM!

Ok I followed the instructions for installing the rom and love it but, I lost all contacts on sim card. I'm guessing I might have made a mistake. Can anyone suggest a way of recovering them? By the way they were saved to sim.
You didn't save them to Google?
There's no recovery if they're wiped from you're sim .....try saving them to Google next time,you'll be glad you did.
just flashed a different rom and they are on the sim and show up but for some reason they wouldnt show up in tapasOS even when I tried to import them from sim it would say there wasnt any.Would like to use this rom.
Like I said....back them up on Google...and use this rom if that's what your hang up is...if your not gonna use this rom based solely cuz it wont read your contacts from your sim...then your comment about really wanna use this rom isn't true when there's several ways of backing up your contacts and making it happen.
That is such a BS statement if I ever heard one..."I would like to use this rom". But do nothing on your own to make it happen..
Come on people use some common sense and do something on your own without someone holding your hand.
I have been trying to remedy this on my own all day by reading and trial and error. I guess you can feel like a tough guy behind the internet.
Dyin' over here! I
To rephrase the advice given earlier (since sixstring will likely cut out all of those posts later) in whatever rom will read your contacts, back them up to your Gmail account. That way, you'll always have access to them on any rom.

I by no means was knocking the rom, I said that I probably made a mistake. All I was doing was asking a question and things got blown way out of proportion. I have read on here everyday. Again I like to experiment with things. I will never ask another simple question.
lets keep it civil here people. no name calling. no replying to name calling either. just makes matters get out of hand quickly.

After reading 122 pages on the successful/unsuccessful root of Sony tablet my main conclusion is that more time has been spent on the user who had root prior to ICS update.
And I have to say you guys have done some amazing work.
I would like to know how much time is being spent on us non root ICS guys and whether a feasible workaround has been discovered.
Also I would like to donate to these guys for there amazing work so far. Where and how do I sent donations?
Thanks all for reading.

This may be worth a shot. It appears other Sony Tablet S users have gotten it to work. When I tried it was late at night and think I am just missing something simple from the vpfaker or zipsinger. With one of those two not working right the auto runme bat file wouldnt work anyways. Going to give it another stab this weekend.

Ubuntu Touch

Just wanted to know if any of the devs would be interested in porting the Ubuntu Touch over to our One XL's. I'm not a dev at all (I know absolutely zero coding), but came across this post on the XDA homepage. Thought it would be kinda cool for us to have Ubuntu touch ported over to our device as well.

Would love to see it if anyone knows how to get it ported over.
Thanks in advance to anyone that does!

Hmm... I may just do this. I've got a machine available that could make quick work out of it. Just need to install Ubuntu on it first, that's the challenge. I'll update in a little while.

That would be awesome if you could. I have a computer sitting around, but as I mentioned, know absolutely zero coding. Wish I could help. Let us know if you get a chance and get it working though!
Thanks!

They make it seem pretty simple to get set up so long as you have CM10.1 working for your device, so hopefully that's the case. Ubuntu is installing right now, fingers crossed it doesn't have any issues along the way.

Just a heads up, it looks, unsurprisingly, like Ubuntu's servers are getting hammered right now. I'm only getting about 150 KBps from the, though it could also be my sometimes flaky internet connection here too. It's gonna take a little while to pull everything at this speed.

Considering you're trying and know a lot more than many of us on here know with regards to compiling it, the wait will be worth it if you can get it booting!
I would be all over this!
Thanks djsikhbeatsz!!
Just remember it is a developer preview, that is pre pre pre alpha. Lol. I installed it on my nexus 7 last night, many things do not work, but I really like the direction they are heading

Yeah, it sounds like it's barely even able to work as a phone. We'll have to see how quickly they are working on it. Hopefully it'll be actually usable before too long.
Unfortunately, I'm STILL trying to pull the source. I mean, it's ridiculously slow. I'm under 100 KBps now. I was hoping to get something running today because I don't know that I'll have time to work on it over the weekend. We'll have to see.
Update: Yeah, some 5-6 hours later we're STILL downloading. Nothing for today. I'm going to try to get back to it tomorrow or Sunday if I have time. Hopefully by then it will have finished downloading, haha.

Where are you downloading from? Why not go to the Ubuntu site and get the official torrent?
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
Try that...it wil definitely be faster

he's most likely talking about pulling the needed repos to build, not an ubuntu distro.

been waiting to clone repo for over 6 hours
freaking SLOW
I grabbed the source yesterday since I knew their servers would be screwed today
For anyone hoping for an easy port btw, look elsewhere, it doesn't seem to be finding our RIL along with a few other stuff.

Jeez Rohan, there's no getting anything past you is there? Lol...you get a headstart on all the greatest roms / ports it seems! Good work though, thank god for ppl like you! Thanks man!
Wow, this dropped all the way to page 4. I didn't even realize this section was that busy, haha. Well, I unfortunately didn't get any time to come in and mess with this over the weekend, but my source pull failed before completing, and now every time I try to start it back up, it just fails again saying the remote end hung up unexpectedly. I'll check back later and see if they get it fixed.
Wait so is there going to a Rom?

At the moment, I've gotten back into a busy cycle at work, and my computer is broken at home (I'm down to an iPad and my phone), so I haven't been able to play with it. Hoping to get my computer up and running as soon as I can get some parts ordered. I can't really be upset, I've been using that system for over 5 years now and it's been running like a damn champ! Goodbye ridiculously old Opteron 165. Maybe one of these other guys might have an interest in getting it running.
