Wow, 3rd ICS for G1!!! Looks amazingly fast (for ICS), how did you do it? I'm assuming it's the hw acceleration. Where's the Dalvik cache stored, that was a big problem in terms of speed for previous ICS ROMs.
I now have a G2 (Desire Z) so will be able to test this in the near future + give feedback
Youtube working?
Build-in screenshot function is working?
What ROM did you use as a base?
firstly i used your rom as a base (on video) with tvall's and jcarrz's files help, but now im working on cm9 - much faster and stabler
screenshot works, i'll check youtube later
Great to seem some more ics love! Ill have to try this out come the weekend! Thanks much!

Which ROM did you use for the CM9 base? Rotation works right (no black screen).
Let me know if you have tested youtube.
cm9 base: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620617
i can't test youtube now, because wifi, sdcard & adb doesn't work yet, but i'm working on it
most important thing is fixing adb, rest will be much easier then
If you have any questions, you may always PM me!

Some of these sound like a kernel issue. What kernel are you using?
ezgb-1.5.3 ics
I don't think these are kernel issues, because it works fine on powerplop's base. Few of them should be fixed tonight.
My mind is blown!! Im trying this as soon as i get home and flash it to my G1. I wonder if, when HTC made the G1, they had the slightest idea that almost four years latter it would still be getting use and that more importantly it would have such advanced software forced into it and still run nicely.

Yeah, that kernel should be fine. I'm guessing libs?
Well, cool! Best of luck to you!
Are you going to github your project?
so....how about that rom?
I'm awaiting patiently this release (so patiently that I keep refreshing this thread).
This would be a great boost for my cellphone, because everyone else is all happy with their 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2s in their all new cellphones.
1.5.3-ics? Is it safe to assume that's the one I built? If so, did you try the linaro one? It should perform a little better.
I should get back to work on my ics and jb roms and kernel. I've been really neglecting my android projects recently...

Yes, I tried, but it doesn't even boot. Any ics rom doesn't boot for me with this kernel.

Hey guys you dont know me but im drewis (w/ Evervolv), the N1 guy that built all (or at least most) of the builds Sandvold released. I don't have a desire to test on so i built; then gave them to Sandvold to fixup and make things work.
Anyway here's a fresh build for you straight from evervolv ics repo.
Built for stock bootloader.
these things (at least) are working:
3g (auto connecting) (and signal strength)
Bluetooth
Camera (partial)[thanks rapmv78](will be included in p3) for now do in manually
Compass
GPS
Headphone jack
TouchScreen (multitouch)
Trackball (w/ wake)(wake doesnt work in p2 forgot to add it in.)
Wifi (and signal strength)
Will update this list as more things are confirmed working
remember i dont have a desire so i rely on you guys to report things for me

Not working:
Some Gapps dont work properly (Not much i can do for you there)
Full Hardware Acceleration (need kgsl driver backported from msm-3.0)
Click to expand...

If there is enough interest, I will continue with development.
Bringing you the latest and greatest from Ice Cream Sandwich.
follow development on the Evervolv gerrit:
review.evervolv.com
irc:
#ics_desire_nexus_dev or #evervolv
Edit [1/1/12]: Congrats! The Desire has offically been added to the Evervolv repo.
Build instuctions:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/Evervolv/android.git -b ics
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bravo
mka
More info about HWA:
Ideally we would want a 3.0 kernel to do it 'properly' but that is a lot (read very very very difficult) of work and imo it's not worth it.
What should be done instead is backport the kgsl driver from cafs msm-3.0
This is an issue for all 8x50 (qsd8k)( adreno200) device's. ie n1, desire, inc, evo4g, and all the others
Right now I'm feeling left out as kali- did it for 7x30 (adreno205) and toastcfh did it for 8x60 (adreno220).
And if i am not mistaken they all use the same driver.
So someone could reference kali- and toastcfh work and get it going on adreno200

All builds for stock bootloader.
Evervolv-Desire-2.1.0p2
whats new in p2
6bar signal strength icons
Lockscreen: bring back tab and rotary style, defalut 3way ics style can now choose what app you want. all options in EVToolbox (all thanks to preludedrew...i did pretty much nothing lol)
Rebuilt kernel: based on Evervolv/tiamat-kernel 8x50 branch
facebook sync in contacts
And i think thats it... enjoy your new year.
Thanks Raikesy for testing
Flashable zips:
with gapps (system size 203mb): Evervolv-Desire-2.1.0p2-bravo.zip - 124.4 MB
without gapps (system size 169mb) : Evervolv-Desire-2.1.0p2-bravo-nogapps.zip - 99.6 MB
Evervolv-Desire-2.1.0p1
Does not have full hardware acceleration only the partial that the other builds have (rapmv78 and rmcc mods)
Includes:
Gapps
Tristan202's kernel
Init.d with my own homebrew apps2sd type "a2sd install" to activate or "a2sd" no arguments for the help menu.
Note: (you can flash any apps2sd over it and they should also work)
Note2: you only need to type a2sd install once. after that as long as you don't format you /sd-ext partition. It will auto reinstall after a wipe. (It does this by putting the a2sd flags on /sd-ext as opposed to /data. I did this 100% because i am lazy and wipe my phone almost everyday and really hate typing a2sd install then waiting for it to reboot and set everything up this way it does it on first boot)
USB: Experimental native Usb Mass Storage
Phone: option to disable voicemail notifications
Lockscreen: experimental 3way style (silent toggle / unlock / open mms app)
Note: (mms app is hard coded for now, options for custom app coming later)
Thanks sadisticveneer(sadven) for testing it for me.
Flashable zip: Evervolv-Desire-2.1.0p1-bravo.zip - 125.3 MB

I used fast boot commander to switch between hboots and flash different roms, pretty easy though. Better than waiting for a stripped down version.

Agree with you, so how about you get it up and running, because you seem to know everything about the drivers?
Jeez, developers do this for the community, you have no right to command them. Camera will be supported eventually, or start working on it yourself.
@Texasice: about this msm-3.0 thing for the GPU: so we have to backport the driver from a Linux 3.0 kernel? That means, upgrading the kernel to 3.0 should do the job too? And is there any driver available for 3.0 to backport, or do we have to write it ourselfs first?
Edit: I'm going to set up a Linux environment again here, and try to get a newer kernel running on the Desire. Perhaps 2.6.40 or 3.0? (Which seem to be almost identical). Give me one week, and hopefully I can give you guys something back

there is.. the galaxy nexus one.. I dont know how much it could help..
there is one for SGSII too, from CM9, but same issue.. dont know how it could help..
I know a guy nicknamed shaky is working on it, and he tweeted, before christmas, that 90% of the work is done.. have no update about this..
About time someone continued work on ICS for the HTC Desire
Thanks and keep up the good work!
thanks a lot, the ROM is awesome and working fine
no problems so far
This rom is bloody brilliant Drewis!
so much faster and smoother than previous builds, great job!
Don't suppose anybody has a flashable for the included kernel so i can go ahead and test Tiamat do they?
want to be able to revert incase it doesnt work without reflashing the whole rom.
Signal bars works!that doesn't work properly in the Sandvold's.And I love the new 3-direction lockscreen.thx bro!
MOTIVATION
Welcome in the official thread of the project. This post is made to let discover you why this project is born. We are two universitary students that want more about a new branch of th IT Area, the Embedded OS Porting. We have a particular device, the HUAWEI IDEOS U8150, so our port is in this direction.
So don't ask to us why we are porting this version of Android with this device, because this project starts for educate ourself to the porting of Android OS, in particular we are oriented to port CyanogenMod ver 9. We made research to define a good porting for this device, so all the support ,moral, technical and economic(we need more RAM and CPU frequency) is really appreciated. We are also thinking to port, after this ROM Porting, the MIUI v4.
We work to create a stable ROM that could enjoy all great people that have this device. We think that newest releases of Android could run on this kind of mid-low level devices, so we make all the possible to complete this work.

had been a miui GB fan and was waiting for a stable MIUI v4.
did a clean install.. so far tooo good!
will report issues if any. thanks for this ROM.
- Spirit FM Light Radio works, BT gets turned on automatically with Spirit. while in radio if you get call radio doest resume (but this is true on all ICS ROMs), a simple restart of Spirit fixes it.
I use miui .18 from blindumb.Since this is also miui,do i need to do any wipes? (Cm9 kernel)
whats the difference b/w your build and one released by blindndumb ?
I'm using this ROM without any issues, however, I couldnt find a setting to disable 'sweep2wake' ?
'Sweep2Wake' does indeed consume a lot of juice, want to see how MIUI v4 battery lasts without that feature.

For that you ll need to apply non patched kernel...
I ll try to give a link of default kernel as well
HaxSync compatibility...
Have one suggestion. Since HaxSync does a pretty good job of syncing high def contact pictures and linking them with phone contacts - works beautifully on AOSP and AOKP ICS ROMs - can you manage do the same with MIUI. If this is manageable it would be excellent since MIUI has one of the best call screens around.

I don't know but since previous version full screen isn't working with haxsync...some issue...
So we can edit join with haxsync contact...then again click edit and select haxsync and then use this photo...contact uses the haxsync photo...but caller screen still not full screen...since last week's version...hopefully this week they solve it
one suggestion, can you please have supercharger v6 preinstalled in your future MIUI releases.
AND also when will this rom be released on kernel 3? RATHER THAN ON CM9 KERNEL
That will be just awesome..

GPS problem
How to fix the GPS ?
It won't turn on , I mean GPS icon is not shown in the notifications bar and it searches for the satellites forever .
I use 20130121 version of this mod and gsm mode .

Thanks
Mistake

development of the firmware is?
Thank you so much, this is the best rom for this phone (the only working cyanogen). I am happy to report that after a few weeks use it has across the board improved my phones responsiveness, battery life, and usability. However... I have one problem. I live in Alaska and have GCI as a carrier... when I alter my cdma apn info, everything works up to the point I want to change my MCC and MNC... it's defaulting to 310 and 012 respectively. When I leave those values alone it saves the apn... when I alter them, the apn entry disappears! How can I fix this? I I need it to be 311 and 370 but can't get it to save my apn.
If this never works, I don't care, I wil continue using this rom without mobile internet or mms downloads... it's just that good.

APN backup and restore app worked for me on US Cellular (backup apn from stock install, then restore to CM7), though I had to switch to GoSMS as a messaging app for MMS to send properly (stock app would receive but not send MMS - SMS worked normally in both). I had no success manually entering the apn info - didn't seem to have any effect when I tried.
@JianC
I found an issue with the 20130121 version from Jan 21 you posted on 2fastroms: If the phone is left on the charger it will charge all the way up, then discharge all the way back to zero while still plugged in. It still displays that it is at 100%, but then abruptly drops to whatever the actual charge level is after a few minutes of use. I've tried wiping battery stats to no effect and it works properly in stock rom. This is the only bug I can't seem to work around... Any fix or suggestions for things to try would be most appreciated! Thanks again for your work on this ROM!
Fixed GPS (and other issues), please see OP!
EDIT: I'll look into the apns issue... I don't use my Merge on CDMA so it's a stab in the dark.
The final version of CM7 has been uploaded (charging bug *should* be fixed).. I will not be supporting CM7 anymore but will be working on Evervolv/CM10.1.
Thanks for your feedback and support!

If any help with the kernel is needed I will try my best to free up some time and pitch in some help. I have made several kernels for several other devices and the most popular being for the Acer Iconia tablets here on XDA see my signature. Great to see a CM rom for the merge on here though!! GB works fine for me, not that much cool factor from cm 10 or cm 10.1 as I have compiled quiet a few nightlies for the A100.. Other than the Project Butter and the overall UI I could care less about JB/ICS.

Does it just boot loop or does it go black? does the CM logo appear? Guess there is no logcat output via adb either or you'd probably have nailed it by now. Maybe we will have to get jtag debugging output so we can see exactly what is causing the kernel panic and work from there.
I have just now had time to get on xda and check up on the new status. I will try to clone the git repository and check the kernel .config for the cm10 build. Just a thought but on most devices that have a working kernel with cm9 the exact same kernel + modules work fine with CM10. Have you all tried the kernel from CM9 that was just recently posted on any CM10 builds for the device? Not much has changed between ICS and JB that are dependent on in kernel features or that require bleeding edge mainline kernel and/or proprietary kernel patches. However there is a good possibility that the issue is more to do with the bootloader that is required to chainload the android OS for JB causing CM10 not to boot properly. So updating the bootloader may be necessary for JB/CM10 to boot properly. Nevertheless we need some debugging output in order to pinpoint what exactly is the problem going on. I am going to flash cm9 to my merge now and see how everything goes. I may experiment with the cm9 kernel and a cm10 build if I can find one for the merge. My hardware I have right now would take quiet some time to build JB as I haven't even used this old c2d laptop to build any android roms yet lol. Sorry for such a long posting but hopefully it is of some help in finding the resolution to the problems we have.
Thanks guys!

The .35 kernel works fine for CM10.0 but I'm having some issues booting cm10.1 with the .35 kernel because of some graphics memory allocation issues. The main issue is that there are a few issues that can't be fully fixed without the 3.0 kernel such as the camera/camcorder, ION support, etc (which is WIP here: http://review.evervolv.com/#/c/6609/ ). I have already tried probing for the UART TX/RX pins on the lexikon motherboard with a bus pirate but I have not found anything to date. I ordered a micro usb breakout board yesterday for USB UART debugging and am going to pick up some resistors from radioshack so we can hopefully get some progress on the 3.0 kernel because it won't boot far enough to adb or dmesg for our purposes. The problem isn't CM10 right now, but the kernel, which would require jtag or uart debugging, as you have mentioned. I hope that we can get the 3.0 kernel booting soon so we can have cm9/10 fully working.

This sounds about like the exact same issues that was experienced when I was helping hashcode work on the original kindle fire device and getting it to work with ICS. I 'think' with the HTC it shouldn't be near as hard to resolve the issue to get full hw acceleration, memory mappings camera/gps and all the extra bells and whistles if we make an attempt at backporting the necessary support into the .35 kernel instead of trying to upgrade * to 3.x which will be adding to the work and break more things than it fixes. Since HTC apparently isn't going to be releasing any updates for the device it looks like it is going to be left all up to us to make one of two decisions:
1) backporting kernel - only the few things remaining needed for our current working GB kernel to have full support for ICS/JB roms
OR
2) updating to 3.x.x and merging HTC fixes and 3rd party patches -through several mainline kernel patches and keeping the proprietary htc addins compatible.
My opinion/suggestion:
I'd think of the two options that backporting would be the most logical answer to the equation since we are only missing support for few things and you already have everything working except the camera, ION, BINDER(?), and other >=3.0.0 android patches. Plus the device is pretty well coming to a good place to say cease development work and either enjoy the device or upgrade to something newer. So if we could get JB support or even just ICS working fully I think 99.99% of all owners/users would be more than 99.99% happy!! I know I would be very happy myself!
CyanogenMod 10.2 (Android 4.3) for the AT&T MB865 (Edison)
BACKGROUND: I was given an Atrix 2 a few months ago as a dev phone to help the community any way I could ...
And this ROM represents a portion of that work. I work with many of the devs in this community on a weekly basis and I'll make sure they know how to build this ROM (or variants).
This build is somewhat untested for phone / data. I'll need some feedback here. Currently the other Moto OMAP phones have phone/data/gps etc.

As you mentioned .. Baseband not working, and there is a green led bug ..
BTW , for some reason wifi started to work on the first boot on my device..
Nice to see you around man. If I can get my touchscreen fixed (and get the stupid phone to actually boot now) I hope to get working on some more stuff.
2 words - absolutely phenomenal!!! Thank you very, very much Hashcode for bringing the newest installment of Android to us! We are not worthy of such amazing devs! *Bows* :thumbup:

Can i get the output of: adb logcat -b radio > logcat-radio.txt
(Either in pastebin link or PM'd)
The only devices I can test data/phone on are the CDMA Moto's, so I'll need some help w/ testing GSM.
btw forgot to mention, brightness control is broken too .

I wouldn't consider it good for the moment, I think there's a wake lock being held somewhere in the phone data / gps system. And Google Services is very demanding on the system atm. All of which will be ironed out over time.
DERP. We're adding SElinux policies as well, but it's breaking the Edison boot at the moment. I'll fix it when i get some time after dinner and get that build up sooner or later.
