This is a big project he's working on that is geared toward benefiting all the users who will use his kernel and use his code as base for other kernels! Don't piss off the devs!
Thanks FB!

Coming up to my second week and trying my damnedest to stay away; I ran into another life speed bump. It's not a big deal, but I'm probably not going to return to xda and dev as quickly as I had expected.
Luckly I was able to save my wip from my build box at work (prior employer now ).
Working now on updating arch/arm herring code in our kernel has no difference to the aosp gingerbread branch and moving our code out of the aries files and into the herring equivalent. Hopefully after this part is done and bootable, I can start moving code over to the aosp branch and doing builds from the aosp branch. Then off to milestone 3 and getting other drivers over and scrubbed.
It will be nice if BML (fsr/rfs) still work, but we still have sdcard and mtd.

So Im really just getting into Android development. Learning all I can made a couple basic apps. I am a bit more interested in ROM and Kernel development. My general question is. Making a ICS ROM for Xoom is difficult not because compiling the source itself is difficult but because there isnt a publicly available ICS kernel for Xoom yet right? Or am I completely off base here?
Yup thats more or less correct. Only device files for the nexus line have been released with ICS so far. And since android needs to be built for a specific device you need the device specific files including things like drivers.
It's the stage where i get stuck as well, currently going trough the motodev website to find things like drivers and or any other Xoom specific files. I'm guessing team Tiamat is hacking it together themselves currently because they have the knowlegde of how to build kernels and stuff and can start with their HC base to see what works.

There are quite a few reasons we don't. Number one is that there is not a lot of interest in this device by developers. Gary right now is pretty much our only one and he has already said he eventually will get around to making ROMs but not right away. A few of us have the basic knowledge to maybe hack something together but without good kernels a lot of the hardware may or may not work, wifi for one. There are ways to get these things to work like porting over other devices kernels, but that is beyond most of us here. The 7.7's could be ported over as it has similar hardware and you could probably port over ICS from it too. You would need a good kernel developer who has the time to do it. On top of it Honeycomb isn't the easiest thing to make ROMs for, MIUI and CyanogenMod don't have Honeycomb versions. Once ICS drops we can use that kernel to at least try and port over MIUI 4 and CM9 but its still a lot of work and again having only one dev doesn't help. We will need a team effort to get a lot of it done.

It's not much, but I've started a device tree with some initial work on a CM9 port. If you've got a copy of CM9's repository, clone this repo into the device/samsung directory, then you'll be able to start working on building CM9: https://github.com/alanorth/device_samsung_galaxytab7p
Also, I have a kernel repo here: https://github.com/alanorth/samsung-kernel-p6200
And a collection of initramfs (including touch and non-touch ClockworkMod Recovery): https://github.com/alanorth/GT-P6200-initramfs
If you're at ALL interested in helping with development on this device (especially CM9), fork those repos and start experimenting with building/tweaking STOCK stuff first.
I'm more interested in trying to port over MIUI 4 (ICS version). Been reading up on how to do it but really need the ICS kernel for our device first before I will even attempt it. I pretty much feel confident I could at least get a bootable version up and running but as far as fixing things that are broken that would take a lot more than I might be able to handle on my own. Say if wifi is broken I'm not sure where to go to even start fixing it. I could hang out on the IRC channels to get answers but then this is just a part time interest of mine and not a career.
When will ICS come out? Come on Samsung.

Can I use this any of this for the GT-p210? Or is it GT-p200 specific only?
Edit: Nevermind I see that it's mostly device, android and vendor.mk stuff
To build ROMs we are going to need kernels, MIUI amd CM require an AOSP kernel which you can make following the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki, it is way beyond me as I struggle with Linux in general. There are devs out there who only make kernels and maybe we could enlist their help in doing this.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_Kernel_from_source
Now according to cyanogenmod the wifi kernel is seperate and you need the drivers in order to fix it. And from what I understand the drivers for our device will not be released any time soon so this is going to be a real issue.
For porting over another touchwiz ROM we could use the stock kernel but you need the specific kernel for each version of android. Honeycomb kernels don't work with ICS or GB. But since there isn't much of a difference in the touchwiz ROMs between all the Galaxy Tabs why bother even doing this. Right now the only reason I see to try would be to get the 7.7 ICS ROM on our device but since we will be getting the upgrade soon anyways why bother. The upgrade will drop before you could ever get all the bugs worked out of it anyways in my opinion.
Here is the link for AOSP, explains all you need to set up a Linux PC to become a developer. An AOSP kernel will be critical to further development, right now all we could build would be an AOSP Honeycomb kernel as that is the only source code out. Samsung will eventually release the ICS kernel source sometime soon after ICS drops. I have a Linux box at home but I'm not very familar with it, also I think its the latest version which won't work. I really don't like working with Linux its a pain. I do everything in Windows using a virutal machine but should swtich over just because it what most devs use and its easier for them to help you if your on the same page so to speak.

snap!!! i would also love to see it on our tab. i would even consider forgetting WiFi till its fixed i want it that bad i don't see how some one has not made it with out WiFi just a basic platform to work with
Nice news! Every android device I had, I always found ROMs for. When I bought the P6200 I came here smiling and..... OOOPS no ROMS I was crying 'cuz I always had ONLY TO CHOOSE which one to flash with all my devices (such as Motorola Xoom or Galaxy Note)
I know this one doesn't pretty interest to devs or it has not much business (such as GS2 for example) but I hope we could see nice things soon (just 'cuz the worse thing is that for the old Tab 7...There're lots of ROMs :banghead: )
Let's wait so. And having MIUI here would be the best thing I ever had

Did my first successful jellybean CM10 ROM build, using Linux Mint 13 platform. ROM is running like a champ, now all I have to do is bone up on what to do with git, gerrit, etc., not to mention learning the code so I can actually contribute meaningful changes and not just cut and paste code. Thanks to sk8erwitskil, BMP7777, vincom and the many others who have devoted their time and effort to producing development guides and tutorials, you really made things easy!
Congrats on getting it going. I have quite a bit to iron out and learn still. Hopefully in a week or so I can declare a successful build

This Post is in wrong section but i think many people who belongs to CM team visit this section rapidly.
There is some question to CM team who manage P500 ROM.
1- last/First stable release is published about 6 months earlier.
2- Day by day your ROM getting Buggy. means we cant use Phone is there is no network.
3- You release weekly new Rom without solving past bug.
4- think how many ROM you have published but still not got a good stable full featured ROM.
5- why you still struck with same GB ROM why you not trying ICS or JB for P500 officially.
Please consider this post seriously because i love cm ROM. This post is just represent the frustration of Cm lovers.
Hope Next release will works fine...
rash97's CM10 works perfectly from my end. You're probably downloading all the experimental ones.
I do see your perspective but according to their wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Latest_Version
Stable versions are those where all known issues have been addressed and resolved. This version is for everyday use.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nightly builds are daily compiled builds from source. This version therefore has the latest bleeding edge features & tweaks, but it is also the mostly likely to have bugs and issues. This version is not for general use. Nightly builds are available here.

If you really want a bugfree rom, just stick with the stable release. I don't see a difference between the stable and the nightlies other than the stable release is stable and the nightlies aren't.
That was for your points 1-4. And for 5, let's be reasonable. The P500 is pretty old and shouldn't even be running ICS or JB.

Then after some months you came again and ask in every thread "xyz is not working what to do"
And now you post this **** in wrong thread .
Now listen

Simply No.

you don't have a right to blame anyone, people are helping you by providing you CM and other ROMs, they are not working for you here. And official ICS won't be there because we couldn't have ICS(cm9) with .35 kernel officially

How do you even dare to write such a words?
Optimus One was never meant to be any kind of flagship, so is quite natural, that
it's based on deprecated hardware platform. Even though, devs made quite an spectacular amount of work and brought us some truly amazing work. Due to hardware limitations, there won't be any newer stable ROM than CM7. Also, the number of people willing to develop for Optimus One is inevitably shrinking as they move to more modern platforms.
Last, but not least, have you ever donated a single penny to CM team or any freelance O1 dev? They are doing it for free in their spare time!

Why dont u just add him to ur ignore list?
The CM code base is stable, no software is ever bug free, this is one of the main reasons that this community exists. To fix bugs and provide newer and mostly better releases. This devices was never designed to run anything higher than GB to begin with, whining because hobbyist developers cannot produce fast enough is rather pathetic. If you don't like it, feel free to pull the source and do it yourself.
The people developing for P500 are among the most talented on xda, this is the reason why a lowly device has such a huge following here. If you look at other, newer/better devices, you will notice that very few have their own forum and their roms are usually only available in the Android Development and hacking section.
The work that our devs have been doing is truly outstanding, we have ports for every conceivable rom out there (cept for thin rom which i personally would love to see) and in a very good working order too. I use CM9 by hephappy as my daily driver and I have to admit, I cannot use the stock rom or any GB based rom simply because of the features provided by ICS.
So please, rather give thanks and provide bug reports, the devs want to build these roms for us, don't make them pull out just because you have no tact
If u want stable cm y don't u develop it for yourself. Stop complaining . If u don't like cm and if its not stable den don't use it as simple as that. Use the stock rom. U r not paying the developers so just keep quite. Don't spam the developers thread. People like u are not meant to be on xda.

CM has already released a stable rom that is really ready for daily use and a lot better then stock LG rom: it's CM 7.2 with Gingerbread.
Other Android releases are declared not compatible with poor hardware of the lg p500, so others cm roms you see are not officials, derivated from public cm sources and modified.
It's not possible an official cm > 7 (cm9 - cm10) for Lg Optimus One.
If you want a CM9-CM10 rom stable in your smartphone it's not a cm fault, but a LG P500 fault, it's really old, even if is a good phone.
I use Oxygen 3.0.0 with ICS for daily use, i have some reboots but very rare, even if they happen (every 90-100 hours...).
It this is good for you, try Oxygen by Popdog, in case not, change your smartphone, you can not pretend to have latest technologies without spending money!

Developers please guide me in detail How to build Cm10.1 for p999. I've been waiting a long time but still can not get a perfect rom cm10.1 for p999, so I want to create a rom for p999 cm10.1, but I do not know how, would you please help me! thanks for all!
You're gonna be waiting a while. There is no perfect working 10.1 for our device.
Nor is any dev going to come in here and just start blabbering away on how to make a rom. If you're interested in development i would use the search function. I've seen a few tutorials on this site. Learning to code isn't easy, basically another language
I won't go into details, but look into the optimus 2x forums there's a howto for this...you will simply have to change the repo manifests to point out the ones specific to the g2x. If you have absolutely no knowledge in development nor patience to use the search engine to fix the compiler bugs one by one, forget this...it's not meant yet to work on this device out-of-the-box using CM repos
