Froyo repo up

Just seen on Twitter that a 'froyo-release' repo is up. New toys for devs?

i hate exams, always at wrong time.

Pity there are so few dev working with Desire, will take forever before the goodies appear. Lets hope there will be a good port of cm coming soon

Actually Desire is not 100% rooted + no perfect recovery made
so people are avoiding development.
+ many issues faced by people
Lets see. i will try my best but -> my exams end 15th june
if its done by some other person b4 that it would be awesome

You did a very nice work with the rom you provided. Lets hope we can get proper root and maybe some more attention from devs to put froyo on Desire

dude it's not released!!
it's only the sdk update that has been released
so ahmgsk you got plenty of time if your exams end the 15th june cause it will be released arround june
and hey by the way ahmgsk you are doing a great work! i really loved your roms back at the sapphire time
but i moved on to nexus because of the fast updates, preunlocked bootloader and the great support. i really hope for you guys that the development will start fo real!

i know the desire root is not perfect and the recorery is far from perfect ( probably the recovery causing usb isseu in some way) but i have never gotten an answer to why? why are we not able to acces system while in os and why is there no great recovory? limitations or just that we are not there yet?

I wonder that to, asked Paul number of times over at Modaco, but never got an answer. Its a pity with this silence, it makes everyone wonder...

HTC put in a lot of special code that locks down /system when the phone is operating in normal mode. It's a shame, and that's what's preventing full custom recovery menus and easier flashing.

I have had the Desire for 2 weeks now and I am abandoning ship. The development on the ROM's are to few for my taste. Might be back some day but I am going for the nexus from here on out.

you seem to know what you are talking about , thanks what is needed for gaining the last bit of access? did the kernel source help? and do you think consideringen what you know now that this last part of desire root will be achieved in near future?

Nexus for wife?
lol...

Just wanted to tell you all....
I sold my Desire today and have been using the Nexus for a couple of days.
Today the 2.2 update came (I am not rooted or anything) and everything is awesome.
The community around the Nexus is hissing and buzzing with creativity and that is something the Desire doesn't have.
I will not be recomending to people to get the Desire even though it is a lot cheaper here where I live (Iceland) and I will recomend for anyone to upgrade to Android 2.2 as soon as they posssibly can becouse going from 8 mflop to 38. Well you can seriously feel the difference in every move you make in the phone.

I completly agree but you're missing the facts.
Nexus One has been available since January, whereas Desire just got released last month in Europe and isn't even available in US/Canada and doesn't have a reliable root yet.
The Nexus One sold terribly, whereas the Desire is number 1 in Europe currently.
Yeah right now the N1 dev community is bigger than Desire's but it will definitly change in the following months, especially when we get a stable root.

might happen that the development will be better for the Desire later but still you will be dependent on HTC for kernels like the Hero crowd (That I just came from)
I want to be able to get real upgrades when they happen. Not when some 3'd party company says so. (And they usually seem to say very late or very never....)

Actually I think we can port cyanogen's kernel, I am trying to do it. Every day I tweak it somehow, one day it will boot

pretty foolish selling your desire. froyo for desire will launche soon, probably within weeks. After that i see no more reasons to root anyway.
but thats only my 2 cents.

[GINGERBREAD] Android 2.3 port from SDK for 32A/NR.

I made it for fun and it is NOT usable and will not be before we get official source
http://saraev.ca/signed_120810_223045.zip
working:
- data/radio (no incall microphone)
- wifi
not working: everything else
please do not report bugs. I know whats not working but can fix NOTHING for now

Good job. IMO these ports will be unusable for the next few months until cyanogen comes up with a release.
It was like that with eclair and later froyo. History tends to repeat itself.

Woot Woot, Hopefully once we get the source this can become stable. The magic lives on. Not many froyo builds I tried for the 32a werent that easy on battery life. Hopefully this turns out good. Hope the devs will work together to create a stable rom, instead of having their own builds with pros and cons.

If 2.3 ever starts working on 32A + NR, I am jumping ship asap! I miss vanilla android

I would have to agree with you except for I think I read on Cyanogen's twitter page that they will NOT be supporting first gen devices after CM6.1 which I assume meant NO ported 2.3 for us.
Hopefully I am wrong.

where is that quote? can't see it

good job!!!!!!!! hahahahaha

Did anyone1 tried on OR and cm Bcrook kernel???

i want to make a team for dev this rom to work full on magic..contact me..

nice hopefully it will fully work

Download does not work?

Really impressive work Hope to see this fully working.

what changes are needed for this to boot on 32b?

This is all well and good and I'll try it if I get my repaired phone back and can once again have a spare to play with.
However is it reasonable to expect this to ever be usable? We don't seem to be able to get a fully working 2.2 under the new radio so why would 2.3 ever get enough attention or drivers? I used 2.2 for a long time on the old radio but I really needed to use the new radio and have since gone back to 2.1 since it is now my daily driver again.
This will be great fun once I can put the Magic back to dev use.

I tested this on my g1, with a pershoots kernel over top so that it boots. And I was wondering how you got wifi to work? I tried replacing many things, but still get an error starting wifi supplicant daemon on logcat.
Just curious, not like I expect anything to ever become usable haha

hm did you replace wlan.ko ? you should
also take a look at init.sapphire.rc:
Ive changed wpa_supplicant service a little because wlan_loader is not used as in eclair/froyo roms. my *wpa_supplicant.exec* loads the firmware and then starts *real* wpa_supplicant.
I realy dont have an idea whether firmware & tiwlan.ini are different for trout/sapphire. if they are you can edit wpa_supplicant.exec to load propper firmware files..
EDIT: this will not be usable untill we get gingerbrad sources published by google. then maybe cyanogen will do a build for us. I heard he will not support sapphire/trout anmore and if and *only if* it is true I will try to make a working one. I hope it isn't true and cyanogen will still suport our devices because he can do it better than me for sure

Anyone done any work porting this? I'm currently working to compile this for my fender. Hopefully with the new radio. Which I've read doesn't work, so... anyone found a working one? I'm running eclipse to compile but if you'd like to help, let me know what you use and I'll send you what I've got.

SmartPhoneGeek:
What I know is that LG has their nose to the grindstone trying to get this update out as soon as possible and they won't quit until they are finished and TMO accepts it and sends it out to everyone. To give you an idea of the pace of development happening I received v20t about 2.5 weeks ago and the current version being tested is v21b. The version that was leaked back during the G2x launch was v20c. That's a ton of revisions in a few weeks time!

Assuming LG uses alphabetical designation consecutively, that means there have been 25 revisions since launch, and 8 in the past 2.5 weeks. And they still can't come up with an update they feel is worth releasing.
Seems time to give up on this phone, call it bad hardware or whatever, and move on.
Oh, and I don't want to hear that the update works great, they just want to make it even better. If they could get it stable at all, I have to believe they would be falling all over themselves to get it out to the public, instead of continuing to take this kind of a beating in company image.
I personally think they are fixing the hardware of the phone because it can't be fixed with software updates. That would expalin the re-launch comment. Brace yourselves for the T-Mobile G2x 2.0 in the coming weeks.

dont hype yourself up if you hear something
if it comes out it comes out!

a month out from when. that's how the trick the stupid consumers such a us. saying it will be a month out. you didnt see us crossing our fingers behind our backs meaning a month out from the summer of 2012.

Well, I've been patient since launch day... and I am now a member of the X-G2X club. Good luck to the rest of ya'll waiting!

Why do you guys still care about this update? Being on XDA, most of you probably rooted, so why not install CM7 while you're at it? It's very stable and fixes a lot of issues with the device.

Because if we have the official update, the developers here will probably have access to hardware drivers that function in gingerbread, which MIGHT allow us to get functionality of stereo bluetooth and high def video mirroring through hdmi, among other things.

Because none of those roms is 100% functional and still exhibit the same bugs as the stock rom. There is no GB kernel.

u will see performance from CM7 after 3 weeks when u will get official update....
Now it's just FAKE 2.3.4....why? go ask Morfic or Faux123, i didn't have a time

Yea cm7 is great and all but its truly not there fully...a2dp gps and sdcard amongst the most obvious issues.
Really the value of a STABLE gb rom is that a lot of the drivers and system stuff can be moved to a modded ROM. It will be great for all the ROMs when LG gets this out!

I don't know about their revision naming scheme, i.e. what constitutes an increase in revision number. And I don't think you do.
Usually more revision means more bugs fixed and better QA testing.

[DEV-WIP] ICS for Desire [ITL41D-SOURCE] [DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE]

Post outdated, just read the thread or the thread by sandvold for recent builds.
Mod Edit: here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660

I'll be very happy to test you rom.

Since my knowledge about ROM developement is minimal to say the least, I am up for testing whatever ICS ROM you throw at us So long as it is from the source and not the SDK Just pm me with links or whatever and Ill test it out as much as I can

im all yours!! happy to test for bugs and see what works!

I'll test for you. I really wanna try ICS.

Guys, this i s a dev thread, plz don't spam here.
BTW i'm obviously in the game, but i'm moving so atm i don't have a lot of time so i can't work on the source (till i come back to Italy, probably end of this week start of next) but i'm here to help other devs who want to build them meanwhile.

I'm happy to test your rom. My Desire is not in use an ready for testing . Good luck!

you have my sword sir... i mean my htc desire
you can contact with guys from desire hd thread, they working hard too on ICS porting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361

Do you think we can manage to integrate Sense into it as well? I have no idea about how the Sense manages stuff..
Also, need to see kernel-side differences as well if there are any..
I can also help with something I guess - I am not so prune to download 7GB of Source code though

As far as I know, Sense is very deeply integrated into the OS, because else there would be a possibility for people to get it running on AOSP ROMs. So I think it will be really difficult to get Sense running on ICS (or impossible, dare I say).
Kernel-related: yeah, this is something I'm not sure about. I don't know if the kernel which gets built from the source will run, or else we'll need to try a GingerBread Kernel running with ICS.
That is my only concern actually, but as time passes by, we will learn more!

Ok, thanks to a couple of minutes of spare time i did a first port of the Nexus One build, so all credits is to texasice. I use his base because my lack of time and with this PC probably it takes days to build from sources.
Working and not are the same from my SDK port (always because of missing drivers). No ETA for a download link and no ETA for updates, reasons are in my previuos post.

Would be extremely happy to test any new builds

any words on official ics for tmobile mytouch 4g?

Hi sea buddies,
I just have a general question why mytouch 4g is not in the list of ics devices? Desire hd was released on September 2010 and it is confirmed ics where are my touch was on October and global release on November 2010... Both have same processor speed and stuffs... Are we getting ignored of ics??
I do not Wanadoo root? Coz I am a roomy at this.... Please let me know urs valuable comments..

There has been reports of official ics coming to us, but we won't know until it happens. Feb will have have the ics roms working

I'm sure you're using a translator, but I still lol-ed at that. Sea buddies?
Not only is the DHD getting ICS, but so is the Thunderbolt which is also essentially identical spec-wise. Because of the MT4G's custom version of Sense, I doubt we'll ever see ICS officially.

we didn't even get Sense 3.0. doubt we'll be seeing a official Mysense ICS for the Glacier. but of course, we could always port from the doubleshot...
totally agree though, MT4G is wayyyy capable of ICS...

Like I said before. Were not getting ics officially on the mt4g. The reason because the mt4g is a T-Mobile official branded device. Hence the lame mysense that it came with.

I don't think there will be an official ics version for this as it is old now.

This... and T-Mobile seems to have shifted away from Sense to LG's POS framework with the myTouch line, so as far as T-Mobile goes, we're pretty much at EOL. Any official update we get would be a treat.
Regardless, HTC plans to officially update the HTC Rhyme, Desire HD, Thunderbolt.. all of those are powered by the MSM8255 chipset with that sexy 7x30 kernel, Adreno 205, and 1GHz Snapgragon CPU. We probably wouldn't have to do much once they all get their updates. Of course though, only greif we should have is camera. Possibly video decoding too.

It's because Desire HD is a flagship device, whereas myTouch 4G is just some random ol' device T-Mobile made after they saw the Desire HD and release that the myTouch 3G Slide wasn't cutting it anymore.

I am not trying to be a jerk, but an official ICS rom would be nice as all the others especially for this phone are extremely buggy, and in my opinion unusable at this time. There are too many bugs, crashes, slowdowns and things that plainly don't work (like you know the basic function of calling people and people actually hearing you, or it actually working.)
I am sorry if this sounds pissy but I am just sick of these ROM's not working, and having to constantly wipe and re flash my phone over and over again, and trying out different ROMs. Finally finding one that works, I am just going to stick with MIUI until ICS officially works correctly and is basically bug free. it's just not worth to upgrade for it flashiness.
I know the DEV's on these boards try hard, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I have been on here since the Android G1 came out, and remember MANUALLY rooting that thing from the telnetD command. It's not that I don't have patience, but at this point with all the work DEV's do on phones now I can't understand how so many ROM's are still really buggy, and get constantly broken in an update, please release working firmware.
I understand that ultimately the DEV's are not responsible for us flashing with unofficial firmware, but you are still releasing YOUR firmware to the public for people to use, to get recognition. This is a catch-22 scenario, where yes your are not responsible, but almost expect people to use your firmware for either recognition or donations. I can't decide who to donate to anymore either, there are just too many DEV's working on too many things at once, stick to ONE ROM. Not five at a time. It's not realistic.
I think at this point, instead of every DEV working individually on there own ROM's, I think every DEV should just combine brain power and make the ultimate ICS ROM. At this rate, a stable ICS ROM will not be out for months. The source code was released in November, and it is now February, and the same bugs in ICS (camera not working), are still here.
It's not only that, constantly re doing my APPS gets really annoying. I am not paying for Titanium Backup, when I am downloading FREE firmware. Every firmware at this point, like MIUI, should have a BACKUP and RESTORE option built in for APPS, so when you do this over and over again, you don't have to pay for Titanium Backup, or re download your APPs, configure your WIFI, set your CPU, redo your menu options, redo your desktop, redo your shortcuts, your widgets, your background etc. etc. etc. over and over again.
I understand this is a different framework, but seriously now. Please stop releasing almost unusable firmware. I am kind of sick of being a beta tester, I do not mind reporting bugs. But at this rate I will destroy my NAND on my phone from wiping and flashing so much. Which CAN happen, and eventually will happen. If you seriously want me to be a beta tester for your firmware, give me a secondary pone and I will be happy to constantly flash and reflash the phone over and over again to test this.
I am sorry if this sounds *****y, but it just starting to get on my nerves. I mean it comes to a point, is this phone even worth it? I can see DEV's are mainly focusing on the newer phones, I do not blame them. But at this point if you want to release your work and have people see how good you are at what you do, ask people to be a beta tester and send them a testing phone so they don't have to risk destroying there phone.
Please forgive me I don't want this to be perceived as trolling but, I have to get this out before I get this out more immaturely somewhere else. I am trying to explain and get things out as professionally as I can.
Thanks

I appreciate your frustration and impatience for a fully functional ICS ROM. I'm sure most of us (including the dev) are in this boat. I do take exception to you complaining about being a beta tester. This is your choice. The dev has not misled you in any way as to the code quality:
[ROM/WIP][AOSP] CynogenMod 9.0.0 Alpha [ICS][4.0.3][02.14.2012]
[ROM][ICS][Beta][2.2.3] MIUI V4 || Unofficial Port for MT4G [UPDATED 02.07.2012]
[ROM/WIP][02-14-2012][AOSP] Virtuous Quattro Beta r1 [ICS][4.0.3]
[ROM][ICS][AOSP][Beta 7.1] .: :: Creamed Glacier :: :. [UPDATED 02.07.2012]
It sounds like you are not a good candidate for being an alpha/beta tester and you may want to hold off until you see "Alpha","Beta", or "WIP" (work in progress) disappear from the ROM titles.
