[ROM] Gumbo 2.1

Here's the link, I'm sure he will post it here a little later but for those who can't wait

You just know this sub forum is BURNING HOT right now when this thread has 79 views in 12 minutes LOL

Yup, 1 minute from downloading left. LOL, exciting stuff happening all over XDA today.

i really wish i wasn't so stubborn on waiting for camera and mms.

I am still waiting too.... but its ok, I am happy trying them out and seeing where we are at. I will be more than happy whenever it happens

2.1 uh oh
Tehe, thus far I've held off on the 2.1 builds because stuff hasn't been working, I guess since I'm backing up my device and switching ROM builds today anyway I'll have to just accidentally pop this on there and see what happens :-D
Edit: Was unable to get the Market to work at all. No FC message, just fails to start.

Doesnt have all market apps

Olive juice gbhil!!!
Just because I'm straight and don't feel like saying "I love you." I guess you could substitute "Alligator food" in there too.
Thanks for the hard work!

Yea.. I noticed the "PROTECTED" ones arent showing up.. but unprotected paid apps are.
I use several paid apps.. and all show up but my droidlive.. and I cant even install it manually from a backup.. it just fails..

Im still waiting because of the mms and camera too.

Me too i got to have my camera working

Can anyone confirm if the Verizon FIOS Mobile Remote app is or isn't available in the Market with this ROM?

Wow, this ROM FREAKING FLIES.
The pinch to zoom on the home screen is blazing fast. I am extremely impressed. 2.1 on our devices is going to be awesome. Thanks again for your hard work Gbhil!!!!
**Edit**
Location, like all other 2.1 ROMs I've tried though, is off. It initially said I was in Kansas City, which is right, but it quickly changed to "Washington" which is what the other roms said, which DEFINITELY isn't right

Could someone who has run both this one an flipz new release compare the two? I'd really like to know how they differ if they do at all. Thanks in advance

check the first post on both, that should tell you all you need to know. Reading is a good thing.

Oh trust me I know that reading is a good thing, I'm not that big of a n00b lol, but I just wanted some first hand experiences like how the ROMS feel, not necessarily what's in them

To add to my previous post, the location services are working fine, it just seems (like in other 2.1 roms) that the location noted in the HTC home screen clock is what isn't working properly.
I get the correct location returned in one of my test apps, and see myself fine in the Google maps v4, so I dunno...maybe there's something missing with the HTC Location Services apk?
Oh yeah, and SetCPU is awesome on this rom too

would i have to wipe this coming from fresh rom??

i had force close on "3g Update"?!?!

I just noticed: txt messages after daylight savings got a bit screwy for some people, where messages would be stamped an hour earlier and be out of order. Now Ive sent and recieved a few txts and they are showing the correct order and timestamps.
Anyone else?

Chrome OS Cr-48 Notebook

Any other XDA developers get lucky enough to receive a Cr-48 from google? Typing one right now and I gotta say, it's nice.
funny thing is, I started to look through the system, and unsurprisingly, it's set up just like android!
bin
boot
build
dev
etc
home
lib
etc... etc.. etc... it's all there!
IF anyone has one and would like to jump on development with me, that'd be awesome. the main thing I want to do with this? dual boot android gingerbread.
it seems totally possible, Sundar Pichai even said the entire thing is unlocked for full control of development, and hell it's already running a modified android system of sorts, shouldn't be too hard... right? (famous last words)

Nice that you got such a Laptop.
I also want one, but I think they won't send me one cause I live in Germany
But I also got an Android and I've got a Debian Server...
and look
It has the same structure...
OH MY GOD It's called Linux

hehehe yes yes i know, I have 3 partitions myself with different linux distributions, just having a poke of fun.

Gah, lucky guys. I live in Canada, so I'm ineligible.

i was under the impression that that was the basic linux/unix folder structure
i'm pretty sure all mac and linux installs are set up like that

I got one,
I got one but Im certainly not a dev. I would be willing to give most things on it a try.

Went through the process of signing up. How long did it take you after you signed up to get it? Did they email you first? I might have been too late..signed up last week..i know they were limited in supply.

Signed up last week, got it Wednesday, no email. I was tracking it with the leaked tracking info posted Friday.

Managed to get one.
Using it now actually. When I get some time off on Monday I plan to throw Ubuntu on it, since there's tutorials of dual booting Chrome OS and Ubuntu already. If you wan't I'll stick around and help with what I can, I know my way around Linux rather decently, and am no stranger to Android either.

yeah i got mine yesterday. no email or anything the ups guy just showed up. i want to try some hacks to the OS. putting other OS's on it isnt that interesting to me since i can just do that with any other computer. i want to see what chrome can really do.

Got one today.
Actually, it was delivered 7 days ago to my office. I signed up the first day.
I was sick the whole week and this morning I emailed my colleague asking about any packages delivered to me. She told me that I have received a laptop so I went to my office to pick it up.
Can't believe the laptop was sitting in my mailbox untouched for 7 days.

Hmm.. thats weird. They should be sending e-mails letting people know.

used the cr-48 shipping tracker and theres one coming to my town, don't expect it to be mine though. :X
but 14 to my neighboring town. (sigh)
different zip code in my town, somehow i didn't notice

CR-48 Ubuntu
I got CR-48 second day, didn't expect it. Already installed Ubuntu on it, it fast even with Ubuntu, SSD speed is something like 300 MB/s read. But the interesting thing is I prefer Chrome OS to Ubuntu for daily use I just go into ubuntu for SPECIAL things.

Yeah, a lot of people receiving them aren't receiving confirmations. They either get it at their front doors, or they don't.

how's flash working on it? Engadget commented that after trying to use flash, the device really bogged down.

im gonna apply now to but do you guys now if they send theese to sweden ? i guess they prefer sending them to US only... :/

[PORT][WIP][dev]ICS port [booting-w graphics] looking for devs

Hello everybody,
I am quite new to android as i just bought this phone 3 months ago and before that i had an iphone.
I know everybody is happy with the upcoming ICS and the SDK that could be used for theme's, sounds and even more. but i know some of you are looking for a port from the SDK.
At this moment i am working on a port for the Sensation, but i have little to no knowledge on porting roms and such. so it takes a little while. but good news is i got it to boot up the service ril-daemon, and as far as i can see it will take a little bit more work till it will boot up fully.
If by any chance i can get it to work i do not promise that anything will work.
but i just wanted you guys to get a heads up on what i am doing at the moment and if anyone likes to help with development you are welcome to throw me a PM..
I will be updating this thread every once in a while when i have made progression.
A lot of work has been done. and i have made something that boots but needs a lot of work.
Whats working
-backlight screen
-buttons
-volume buttons
-boots
-hw acceleration (not tested just yet)
-screen
whats not working
-touchscreen
-all the rest.
we just got the screen working but wanted you guys to know it. we will test things out and upload later on.

device has got graphics working, but a load of services are failing so we still need to fix those things and hopefully get touch working soon as well.
DOWNLOAD LINK
ICS SENSATION v0.0.3
Just for dev only at this moment.

I'm excited either way.atleast someone is attempting a port. Alot of the devs look at it as a waste of time, but I don't think it is, especially if its as useful as the nexus s port. I wish you good luck my friend and if your looking for anyone to test, don't hesitate to PM me.

Nice to see you are making some progress with that

Glad to see someone with better ability wants this too.
I myself have been trying this just flashed my first .zip file last night have not even run a log cat on it yet. So you are way further then me. I have also been doing a lot of research through the forums and plan to expand my research to other places on the web tonight to see if might come across anything. I got a lot of reading and learning to do as I am certain you know way more about what you are doing. Best of luck to you and I will PM you if I come across anything you might could find useful.
Oh yeah by the way you probably should have posted this in the development forums, that is if you do not already have a thread there. I have not visited the development forums today yet.
Best of luck to you.

you're way ahead of me too - zips won't even flash for me (no idea why) and if I do bludgeon one into working, then logcat doesn't work

Nice, three devs working on this. I'm really happy right now. You guys should just all work together on this so our device will be the second or third to actually run the port

I will have to go back and find the post I read it in last night but the poster named a file in the ICS system folder that they had to change to get logcat working. When I find it I will message you.

haha thanks, but I've lost interest - although it may be handy to make this more publicly accessible information. I'm also not a dev by any stretch of the imagination

Ok I found the post I was talking about, it was in the Nexus one port thread.
blunden said:
I've gotten connecting to the network working so far. SMS seems to work fine and it lists my network. I'm unable to use the data though. It just tries to connect but fails. Unfortunately system/bin/sh doesn't work so no logcat currently to see why.
EDIT: Removing /system/bin/sh and replacing it with a symlink to /system/bin/ash seems to have worked. Now I can run logcat at boot at least.

good job

reserved for testing!

Wow i hope and pray you guys get this port working for the Sensation and i wish yall lots of luck. I know it can be done with patience and pure thinking!

cannot locate 'android_atomic_cmpxchg'...
That's the error that's preventing boot for me.
It's 3am for me so I'm done for last night (this morning) I know I don't have a perfect port such as I know my inits need work, which might add another issue once this one is figured but yeah, idk where you guys are.

I have no time to dev this weekend but i will work on it on monday again. There is a load of work for me tto do.. i think you need to search for the file in any rom thats working and see if it is presented within the files you have.

Well I am pretty much stuck for the moment ass I can not get my build to even flash right now and can not figure out why........
But tarends messaged me and it seems like he is very close to a fully booting build. So hopefully when we all hear back from him he will have something that is ready for trouble shooting to get things working which I already have a lot of info that might help get a couple of things working on a build that will boot.

I suggest you PM tarends and ask him if he can give you a run down on what he has, I have not asked if he wants to discuss everything here in the forums yet. He would probably would not mind but I would rather ask first. I think I might have a lead on what to do to get my build to flash. I am not sure but I think I have to edit the build.prop cause it is looking for 4 mount points but only finds 3. Thanks to XDA senior Member malybru and XDA Recognized Developer mike1986 for helping to get me going in the right direction.

He has on posted in the "ICS Porting guide by Siulmagic", it is post #72.

I am out -- Good bye

Hey everyone, It has come time for me to leave. As much fun as it has been in here for the last year plus, it is time for me to move on. I have noticed that a lot of our core group has really been moving on as well.
I will forward the information on how to fix the boot sequence for the CM based ROMs to alteredlikeness so that he can put that into the next builds for his CM based work.
I will still be in and out once in a while, and I will still be on IRC and help out the other devs in the background, but I will not be hanging out in here everyday as I have been. I have put my Atrix2 up for sale, and I am in the process of getting a galaxy nexus to run the new ubuntu phone OS on, and I am going to switch to working only on that for dev work for the time being.
It has been great and I wish everyone the best of luck and best wishes.

Well damn. Best of luck to you good Sir!!!

Yeah this was a really hard decision, and after thinking on it for most of the holidays and then Ubuntu making their announcement, I knew that is what I was really after, and where I really would LOVE to spend my free time.
I am in no way abandoning you or anyone here, and I will still answer my PMs, because I will still be participating on XDA, I will just be focusing on the ubuntu phone OS instead. As I said I will still hang out in our IRC rooms and check in here every so often, but I am sure it will be less and less as time goes on.

Thank you! Same to you.
I am hoping to see some of you guys on the Ubuntu side of the fence soon. I saw several people note that they were excited, and a used Galaxy Nexus is not very expensive right now, and it has an HSPA+ radio just like this phone, so.... it should be pretty close, but that it is more like the SGS3 in hardware, and it is fully unlocked like the SGS3. I am also keeping the SGS3 and going to work to get that on Ubuntu too, so for those that have that phone too, I will still see some of you over there, with hopefully some great ubuntu work that I will be doing.
I decided this after my last attempt at killing the bootloader on this phone frustrated me so much, and the fact that I have 2 devices that are unlocked right now that I can do anything I want with, that this was my only real reason for doing this (freedom).
I have also noticed that the dynamic has changed in here as of late, and that just gave me the extra push to move forward.
Again, you all have fun and keep the good stuff flowing in here and I will speak to everyone soon I hope.

Thanks!
Thanks for all you work!
I recently purchased 2 lapdocks to use with my Raspberry Pi. While waiting for my HDMI adapters to show up from China [still waiting], I got bored and bought an atrix2 this past weekend and was excited to find that you had done some great work with WebTop.
Sadly my atrix2 was already OTA ICS as I was stoked to have a real desktop OS running on this phone. However, I understand the need to move on.
Looks like I'll need to pick up a Galaxy Nexus soon!

I think it's a wise move on your part.. all of us, and especially you, are limited by Moto's lockdown.. and I too am really looking forward to Ubuntu for phones.. they are going to change things and contribute to mobile OS's in a big way. Good things will come of this, and I will definitely be joining you in dev'ing it in the future...
Without being too dramatic - we will keep pushing forward with the foundation that basically you alone put together here.. until we all eventually move on to other devices... sigh.. everything's so fleeting..
Thanks again, Jim! Ttyl..

Good luck Jim and thanks for your help. I understand all your frustrations with this phone. I've been burnt out on it for quite some time now. That's why i haven't been more active here in the community. Take care and thanks again.

Its a very sad day for A2.. :/ My genuine heartfelt thanks for everything youve done for this phone, one of my decisions to get this phone was because of such dedicated and talented devs like you. Will always be grateful man. All the best and I hope you'll drop in once in a while.. Cheers
Btw, even i'm contemplating getting a Galaxy Nexus.. maybe in a month when the salary comes

My best regards to you Jim, one of the best around.

Will certainly miss you sir, and all the hard work you've brought to this community.
Does your supersekrit CM10 builds feature the work that you had done towards webtop, or should I simply enjoy the devices that I have au natural and not worry about being on bleeding edge of cool?
Thank you again, and enjoy your new toys.
Regards.

^+1. Yah we'll miss u Sir! Have a great time
life!

Motorola pretty much made it impossible to do anything proper with this phone, which is sad because hardware wise it's about as solid as they come. It's been an uphill fight since day one, and we couldn't have had a better fighter for our cause. Like many others, I want to say thank you for helping us along keeping this phone up to par. I'm due for an upgrade, so I'm sure I'll be bugging you in another forum before you know it. :laugh: Thanks Jim.

There might still be one or two things I have hidden up my sleeve that I may still release soon.
As far as the bootloader goes, yeah that is not getting unlocked. I tried for a little more than a year. I know when to finally call it quits. I really had a good one there with the rootkit and booting off the sdcard, but there were still checks that moto has for that too, so....
As I said earlier in this thread, my time in here is going start to taper off slowly and over time I will just fade off into the sunset... LOL.

Hey, what happened with kexec? I never tried it as you said it hard bricks the a2.. I do remember seeing a thread where you said it was working and we just need c coders now.. if kexec dosent hard brick, I guess a little can be ported from RAZR.. also now that retail phones have jb, maybe we can use the boot img from it for att phones as well..

Porting does not work on the A2. We have NEVER been able to successfully port any ROMS to the A2, but don't let me stop you from trying, if you can get it too boot and all the hardware and a kernel working, more power to you! I gotta say that would be pretty sweet, but since we have figured out the secret of compiling and using our kernel as a base, and compiling open source roms like that, we/you can have any roms you basically want now, with the stock kernel still on the phone.
Yes kexec works, since I helped with kexec. There was a post that I did post about it. We do not have any ROMS that take advantage of it though.

you are the best dude!! Thanks for the ROMs:crying: but hope u change ur decesion

Anyone still use the G Tablet?

I have two and trying to think of a good use for them.

i just bought a Viewsonic 10S that i have to fix first, then i too will have to find a use for it. Same kinda tablet i think. I am curious if they can run a light Linux....

Or maybe CyanogenMod? I am wondering if they might be usable as a screen for a Raspberry Pi or any of the sbc's, as i have several of those and these have the HDMI port built in, which drew me to getting the one i have. Handy screen, if it works.

Oh....i see it already can run Ubuntu....that's great to know, anyway.
