Since SU660 porting isn't going anywhere, could this be a possibility for full hardware acceleration early next year with the 3.8 kernel sources?

So will this mean ICS/JB with HW Acceleration sometime in the future for out phone?

Our phone is already guaranteed a port via the p990, it is just a matter of time

If the P990 release ever fails to be released, then there might be some hope in this.
Also, with the introduction of Key Lime Pie coming up next year, the proprietary drivers from the ICS release will more than likely become broken. In this case, the open-source drivers may become EXTREMELY beneficial.
Great find

3 Froyo released (Infused, Bionix, Refuse)
1 Gingerbread released (Infused v2)
1 Gingerbread available as source code only, with CWM packages occasionally popping up on IRC (Cyanogenmod 7 port)
I believe there are 2-3 Gingerbread coming. I think Nop was almost finished with a Gingerbread variant of Bionix but was getting nervous about releasing after seeing what happened to gtg's Gingerbread thread.
MikeyMike01 has some stuff in progress, but he doesn't release his stuff until it's 100% - this includes MIUI in early testing stages as of last night.
gtg, LinuxBozo, and Mikey have been working on an interesting project that should give us a LOT of ROM options if it works. I'm not going to say much more as it's an early thing and there's always the possibility of hitting a roadblock.
There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff going on at the moment. CM7 seems to be where a lot of the push is right now. One of the few things remaining missing is Bluetooth at this point - unfortunately hciattach causes a kernel mini-panic with almost no useful debugging information.

Is it looking better than the CM7 that is available for the Captivate? I tried it countless times but kept going back to the i9000 based ROMs. Video/graphics was a huge issue. Games would lag and stutter and video playback was a challenge.
(hope that didn't come across the wrong way....)

Media playback seems fine. Parallel Kingdom seems as good as it was on Froyo or the Rogers ROM.
I haven't had a chance to retry Navigation yet.
Bluetooth is 100% broken still. hciattach causes a mini kernel panic when you try to turn on BT.
CM7 is at this point my daily driver. BT was never working for XDAndroid on the HTC Rhodium, so I'm kind of used to not having it.
Cm9 has been ported to stood incredible! Saw it over at rootzwiki.
For reference
Seems they have more stable builds for the incredible.
They are very stable, but still no camera

Camera is going to be almost impossible to do without HTC releasing specific files needed for it, for ICS, as ICS has changed a lot about the camera. It is coming along on a similar device but may take a while to get to the TB.
I'm having a lot of trouble getting hw acceleration for my u8120, the main problem is I don't know what to look for!
I've checked the opengl lib, checked the framework and about every single piece of the system to find the code that enables HW acceleration instead of Software acceleration but I can't find a thing.
I'm even "reading" sources now.
Now, the way I see thing, there are two methods to fix HW acceleration, either to look for the drivers needed (which is a real long shot) or find what piece of the system causing HW acceleration instead of SW like in GB (which is really stupid, nuts & possibly just a waste of time).
So, what I want is know how it was enabled on other devices like Leo & SII, and how to do that on my device.
Thanks in advance.

Hey
Have you tried editing the "build.prop"
System/build.prop
Add this at the botton (make sure you have a blank line underneath)
debug.sf.hw=1
Hope this helps

No luck.
You might not be aware that my device doesn't have a GPU.
There's a driver though, I don't remember who made it, but it emulates the existence of a GPU.
though I don't think that could help as it won't provide acceleration.
I've been doing a little digging on the HD2 fix & I think what the did was something within the opengl lib itself. Do you know anything about that?

No sorry... not really an expert on these kind of things lol
But from what I heard was the requirements for ics with full hw acceleration is 512mb ram and a gpu

just one other question.
debug.sf.hw=1
these are libraries, right?
what do they do? and what's the sort of "API reference" for these libraries? not just these particular ones, but any other libraries like these.

Just a curious question for developers. If the Optimus 2X gets ICS and the G2X does not can you still use the 2X drivers for the G2X to get hardware acceleration working? Thanks!

Or the o2x from what I've read it is blobs full HWA would make things a lot smoother and ALOT quicker, I notice lag all over the place scrolling isn't smooth, and rotating the phone takes a while too. If we had full HWA this thing would fly!!

Very true. Since Nvidia wont release the drivers, we have to wait till an official ICS ROM to get it working smoothly. Then it can be ported and bloatware removed and optimized for us.
Ah, I miss my Vibrant and how great its ICS must taste.

Yeah I agree after playing with an old Captivate with ics and hw acceleration working I can defiantly say we don't have full functioning hw acceleration yet can't wait tho!
Pin it to Win it.
Hwacceleration is only half ass working through work around patches. Thus the Hal issues with video decoding and many ics apps like browser for instance. If o2x gets it I'm sure we can get it fully working.

There arent any ICS roms for the G2x/LG 2x that support HWA. Until LG releases there version of ICS we will not have video recording

The video recording doesn't work because the G2x doesn't have official/correct drivers for ICS, therefore things like video recording and actual hardware acceleration don't work. What we have is a work around that is almost as good as the actual hardware acceleration, but its not the real thing.

The 4.x means ICS or above. Though with the ICS kernel source out we'll be getting JB soon anyway. Very glad to see this is coming to Android though; I'd figured it would be Windows Phone exclusive.

But I was checking it out on my Xbox and it said the app would be ready Friday.

And here it is!
Xbox SmartGlass
It is working on my G2x with Owain's "Domination" ICS, build 77.
I was able to use it as a controller to navigate the dashboard, but didn't try it with any sort of games or anything.
The app also appears to do everything the My Xbox LIVE app does, so that app is basically useless now.
It did take a little while for the first connection, and the Xbox has to be on. It won't do Wake on LAN or anything, as far as I can tell. You'll have to make sure SmartGlass devices are enabled in your Xbox options, but it should be on by default with the new Xbox update from a while ago.
