cm9 official status - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anywhere to go see the status or problems finalizing cm9 for the shift? I know there are a lot of phones/tablets that are already getting nightlies. I'm not asking an eta. I know it will come when it comes. Just wondering if there is a place to view the progress from the official cm team.
I've googled several different ways.

I'm not sure the shift will see official cm9, the ONLY reason it seen cm7 was because of toast

Well if you look Zen has a cm9 posted, so the aosp ICS kernel is there, It's more so waiting on HTC to release ICS Sense Source to a similar device so the kernel can be ported, but then you also have to look at will any ICS Sense builds have WiMax? Most likely if the kernel is ported from Kingdom but It's all up in the air right now while everyone scatters to get ICS LOL that's just my opinion though

yeah i meant kernel source to be ported i do relize we do have a kernel but yeah from what i understand once the design or the g2 gets it will give us more hope and once we do have a more official build i plan on porting aokp

Not sure if WiMax would work in a gsm kernel, but I'm no kernel dev

Waiting for Zenulator to post his source so other devs can work on it.

In regards to wimax, Is that a kernel issue in that each phone has to have that added in seperately, or would it be an easy port once people figure out how to get it working on phones like the 3d? I remember reading on twitter that toast was working on getting wimax onto cm9... so i was wondering if that would translate to us eventually getting it as well

Good thing toast is still active with the shift. :-D

4G is built into the kernel. 4G won't be the tough thing, getting a kernel functioning properly is the tough part... I've been working on it here and there but a new job, baseball, softball, wife and kids have been keeping me fairly occupied... I keep up with the good kernel devs on twitter...
Strapped, the kernel I ported from the g2 has wimax, it just has to be written into the source or enabled in menuconfig....

i was told of a ported OC kernel by revolution
Revolution is waiting on a couple different devs to respond back about an OC kernel, I'm working on compiling AOSP 2.2, Ayo is testing out his MIUI styled rom, there's your news.
Now that's a reliable source I can bank on.

I was creeping the cyanogenmod google+ page and they mentioned having at least two t989 phones. At least this gives some hope of them picking up our device.

It could be ported for sure, there's a few dual phones on their site such as the htc inspire and htc desire. I'm just happy that they PLAN on the t989. They seem pretty hush hush. If you could get some more information from your Dev friend that would be awesome. I'm not digging for an eta or status update, just would like a skyrocket confirmation etc.

Lol yeah, CM9 for Aria is amazingly stable as well. I'm hoping to sell it and buy an Atrix instead for a backup phone, though...
But back on topic. Is this CM9 or CM7 they're working on? I wouldn't mind CM7... it would make the MIUI porting process hundreds of times easier... CM9 would be nice too though.

Sense 4.0

Is it possible to get sense 4.0?
Not yet, but be paticent .
We need a compatable kernel source...
Sent from my PG06100
What I read was sense 4.0 only goes to phones that are made for ics and the phones that get updated from gingerbread to ics get sense 3.6 which is pretty much the same but that has to do with hardware issues
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yea YoungCorruption is right, the EVO 3D, Sensation etc are all getting Sense 3.6 with "as many Sense 4.0 features we can include" says HTC.
New phones will get Sense 4.0, and this is mostly because of the ImageSense chip in the new HTC phones which current phones do not have.
Honestly I will be suprised to see the shift get sense 3.6, but no matter what eventually their will be ports of Sense 4.0, Sense 3.6 etc. Hell the One V Leak just showed itself ill probably post on general later
Kinda weird that no one has started the porting. I know there isn't a compatible kernel source out there yet. I'll be looking out for one, if I come across one I'll let you know! Thank you for helping our Shifts get sense 4.0!

Not that weird. It's considerably more difficult, if not impossible to port a Rom without a Kernel.
I'm trying to port. Crossing fingers. Lol. Hopefully I can get it. I've tried many different sense roms but maybe this might be the one lol. I hope I can get it up and working for everyone

We could but I personally don't have the time or the skill to write a whole new kernel source... As for the booting versions for the desire hd and g2, I believe the kernel is a 2.6.35.14 version, hacked to work with ics...
Sent from my PG06100
That's probably along the lines of whats gonna be required. I don't see HTC releasing a compatible Kernel for a device they've already determined EOL on.

The design and desire hd are both getting ics... The design has the exact same processor as shift. Once that source is released, it will definitely make things less challenging... I can add a device to a source, just happens to be extremely time consuming because it's somewhere around 5000 edits. I'll have a million errors to fix, which is even more time consuming... But the good news is that I started working on it (adding shift to 2.6.35.14 kernel modded for ics) a month or so ago, the bad news is that it still needs endless hours of work... I can't honestly say if I'll ever get it, but, i.m.o., it's definitely worth a shot... :beer:

Had someone in the doubleshot forums say them devices are only getting sense 3.5 ICS? And that sense 4 was reserved for the one series because of their camera chip or something. Hell I don't know I don't keep current with what's being released I just keep my current phone faster and better than what's being released
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2
All HTC devices that are getting ICS excluding the one series are getting sense 3.6 which is basically sense 3.5 on ICS but with a few new things like the Rosie has 5 icons and u can change 4 of em and whatever apps are on the dock are your lockscreen shortcuts. Nothing major that I've noticed. Running it on my evo3d now. The design has an ICS leak already I can link to it if you guys want.
And don't you guys already have a hacked 2.6.35.14 kernel for ICS? On the evo3d we can boot up CM9 with the 3.0 kernel from the leak we got and before we got the 3.0 kernel we were booting up sense 4.0 with the tiamat kernel
AND you guys have working ICS roms to base it off as a start.

Doesn't work, myself and a few other devs have tried to use tiamat and it won't boot... No we don't have the hacked 2.6.35.14 kernel, I'm working on porting it but I'm getting an error about the eng hboot... The design stuff won't work until we can resize it, shift is 3.6" wvga resolution and design is 4" qhd resolution. We have already thought about and or tried all the recommendations here... It isn't going to be as easy as you think... As for sense 4.0, we should get the ROM, but it will prolly never have a fully functioning camera. Strapped is right, the one series has a new imaging chip, that's not compatable with shift...

Tiamat kernel is a hacked 2.6.35.14 kernel for ICS or else it wouldn't boot CM9. Not saying its got everything it needs to boot sense 3.6 but the base is there. Chad.Goodman over at infectedrom.com (goes by kernelchef now) might be able to help with getting the kernel changes to boot sense 3.6 because he's done it on our 3D's. As for the camera chip on sense 4.0 you mentioned, the 3D doesn't have the chip and we have our camera working. Joelz was working on a sense 3.6 port before we got our leak so he could probably share some knowledge about it. I think he was the one that got the camera going on sense 4.0 also (Some refer to him as the porting god). And newtoroot has fixed like everything on his sense 4.0 ports. And as for the resizing, its been done for the shift there's kingdom ports for sense 3.0. Yea, I know this ain't easy and I'm not trying to make it seem like it is, but its been done. And I'd try and get something cooking but I don't have my shift anymore.

I really like the Evo Shift. The fact that its probably gonna be the last Sense device for the foreseeable future that has a hardware QWERTY, Its gonna be real hard to move on from it because every Android phone I've ever owned has had 1. I'm not a fan at all of phones that don't have 1. However, not having Sense 4 really sucks considering this phone isn't really all that old. HTC/Sprint should have brought us to Sense 4. The Evo was out what A year before the Shift give or take? Its total BS the EOL is confirmed along side it.
It's really hard to port this rom because of how large sense 4.0 rom is. Over 500mb. I've tried and failed with a non boot start. Lol, I'll keep trying Hopefully I can get the rom working and everyone can enjoy!

Well if you do an AOSP kernel for the msm7x30 it's most likely jam packed with goodies from other developers, but Sense kernels are rough because there aren't many common kernels for your board. A good place to look for sense kernel hacks would be the G2 section and mdeejays git.

Yeah I broke SU somehow. Me and sparksco was getting ready to get my 32 bit Linux machine to build android and I was going to build a mako kernel but when I went sudo xxx it went sudo does not exist in xx/bin so I'm all like well fudge.
The last thing I did on it before it broke was go to shut down, as it was shutting down we lost power because someone decided they wanted to run from the police and take out a pole less than 100yds from my house. Well it ain't been right since and I can't find my 2 dollar thumb drive to reinstall lmao AHHHHHHA
