ALPHA Mesmerize AOSP ROM Discussion w/Pics

Last night was an interesting night for me. With the help of jt1134, of course, I was able to get a semi-working build of AOSP to load and boot up on the Mesmerize. For those of you who have not seen this, it is pretty neat stuff. This means NO TOUCHWIZ on the phone at all. Pure google goodness! What this also means right now, is a lot of work for the people involved. These guys have been really going at it lately and it is slowly paying off.
I'd like to pay credit to these guys for their work so far and all their work in the future, as I'm hope they won't be stopping any time soon.

Captainkrtek
and anyone else out there that has worked on this project that I don't know about.
Last night I got to do a very small part in helping out and I was glad to be able to be a part of this.
This required a modified kernel to be able to load and boot. Although I have built several kernels using jt's github source, this is the first time I have had to modify content and it gave me insight into some of what is going on in the kernel. It's definitely more than I had ever thought before.
Here are some screen shots that I took while running the ROM.

Info w/modified kernel & build number
I will not be releasing this build, as I do not feel comfortable with it's stability just yet. I also want to get jt's approval before letting it out into the wild since I am following his lead on all of this. This was done more for discussion purposes to see what you guys think and to let you know that work is being done to give you more options than just ROMs made from stock.

Well this is sufficiently awesome
Looks like a good start. Thanks.

When you say Pure Google Goodness are we talking Froyo ? or better.. Gingerbread?
And if you need a tester I would be more than happy to help out.

I know you are all super excited about the updates, but if you look at the build number in the picture, it says 2.1-update1 ECLAIR.
jt has been working on this for 3 months. I just got the Mes to load up last night. Let's see how things go and maybe we'll start an Alpha ROM thread in the development section.

Looks great! Thank you for all your hard work on this!

Thanks for the update, I'm very excited about this! Good luck!
By the way, I love that wallpaper with the tweetdeck logo.

Yeah, there's a pretty good list of wallpapers in it. These guys are really putting some work in to making a top notch product. If we can get a few more kinks out of the Mesmerize version, I'll release an Alpha.

Looks like it's on the side burner for now. The good news is, the reason that it's been put on the side burner is that it seems possible that a 2.3 AOSP build may fix some of the problems that are happening in the 2.2 build. I don't have many of the details, but they've got the first steps working. As soon as there is a build that I can start to work with, I will post pics.

I would like this sooo bad. It would be awesome

Sounds like good news to me.

Looking really nice, cant wait to see what comes of this!! just want something other than 2.1 errrrrr

Sad thing is a friend of mine asked this same question a few hours ago. I need new friends.

Hilarious. Wonder if current roms are on hold till 3.0 is ported?

it is just amasing that how many people are trying to ask the same question in many different ways.. Maybe, when the devs finally cook the honeycomb rom, they can send private invite to the forum members who didn't ask for the port. Let's those impatent people wait for a little bit.. I know that it is a little bit mean but just look at the gtab forum in last few days... flood with those questions.. And not very helpful.. in the mean time, you can always stop by a verzion or bestbuy to take a look.

This is the best thread ever.......hahahahahahaha

Until android 4.0 comes out in 6 months

This is a great thread.
I think we've all been spoiled by Rothnic and Roebeet and the rest of the devs working on the GTab. Remember when TnT Lite was getting updates daily.
I can't wait for HC and indeed Honeycreams, but it'll be worth the wait since we'll still get it before most of the official HC Tablets are even available.

Finally
Finally a thread I understand!!!

I LOVE this picture! Thanks!
Btw, for those who are interested -- this is a lot harder to do as we suspect Moto did some sneaky things. I cannot get the dump the boot on my GTAB/Adam, and I have been trying. The Adam port was a cakewalk in comparison, as they had released an nvflash dump on the day of release.

I am a complete noob to this scene and, while I had been patiently awaiting the release of this honeycomb I keep hearing about, I had been avoiding posting on this topic as I can see that there has been some frustration on the part of devs being pestered by people like me who don't really know what we are talking about!
But after today, I have to speak out! I think you DEVs are nothing but a bunch of lazy bums who like to THINK and make others think that you know it all. With all the money you guys are getting paid for this, I can't believe you haven't gotten Honeycomb to us Gtab owners sooner!
Hell, I was talking to my buddy Jim down at the convenience store and he already had honeycomb. He said that it was BIG yah,yah,yah. It's not small no,no,no.
ww.youtube.com/watch?v=yDZK6H3d5bk
It was dumped right there in aisle 3. I'll get back to you EXPERTS once I find a way to get it on the g-tab.

Honeycomb?!?!?

With the release of Android 3.0 on the xoom in the wild, should I be looking out for a honeycomb based ROM?!?
*crosses fingers*

Try more looking and less posting.

Here we go again
Did you even do a forum search for honeycomb? Did you?
NO HONEYCREAMS. STOP ASKING. There are at least 5 very similar threads of other people asking the same frackin thing. If you want honeycomb so bad, overpay for a Zoom. Or wait patiently like the rest of us for a Rom to be posted. Asking over and over is not going to get it here any faster. Stop bugging the artists and let them paint.
P.S.
LEARN TO USE THE SEARCH BAR.

+1 on TheHoneyCreams!

I prefer Frosted Flakes.

Lets face it 95% ( probably 100% on XDA) of us who bought a Gtab did so to hack it to make it better faster etc. If we got Honeycream tomorrow in two days we would be posting questions about Tiramisu (Android 5.0). The devs are fantastic play with what you have today and READ posts about what you might get tomorrow.

Wait what????, i want tiramisu NOWWWW!!!!
No really, the worst thing of this post is that it is in development.

Pretty dead on, When I bought the g-tab in November I did so for potential at price range.
One of the potentials was the promise of honeycomb, but it's only been like 5 days out now. lol.
It took a month or so to get gingerbread out and even then it's still experimental, so sit back take a breath, and enjoy a very well rounded tablet (screen has yet to bother me.)
I am sure that as soon as one of the dev's get close to having HC boot they will let us know.

Prepare your anus!

I also bought my gtab with the sole purpose of mod'ing it.but the hardware to price is why i ultimately bought it.After seeing all of the other HC threads,it amazes me that some folks are still creating new threads(especially puzzling when it is started by a member who has been around long enough to know better).

Seriously though Robeet, thanks for all the hard work and putting up with us loonies!!

All joking aside, do we know which devs are actively working this? Small donations would be in line if you asked me. Also i would like to get in touch with them to see if they could use any help.

Totally.

Arguments Between Developer's

The arguments between you guys have to stop, if you have an argument with another dev, don't take matters into your own hands! PM me, and it will be taken care of. It has gotten ridiculous how many arguments I've seen. It needs to STOP. Users are also welcome to pm me when they see an argument. Hacking your device has always been about fun and challenge, but just as important is keeping the community strong. Respect others! :highfive:

Yeah
:good::good::good::good::good:

Well said
Basing on what you said, this is really quite the right thing to do. To focus more on the development of our device and unite as one so that we can achieve what we always crave for; to develop our devices to unlock it's full capabilities.
This is the main concept of this forum i believe, and arguments will only create distractions for devs for fulfilling the goal. Although there are times that slight misjudgements are occuring, nevertheless lets not forget why where here guys.

Bro, if only you knew how hard it is to build CM for ths device. This device is truly a peice of s##t. I have built nearly 30 builds already and it is just error, after error, after error. The latest push from Squadzone wont even build!!!!!!
Please be my guest and try it yourself. I honestly feel like giving up. No drivers for gpu, means no CM for this device. What a peice of crap

A Noob's intro and thanks!

First off...I just want to say I give mad props to A LOT of helpful input from sources too many to count. What can I say, I've lurked here for months (much like I do other forums of interest) and am just amazed by what little knowledge I have. LMAO! OK so, I'm not a stooopid guy, but the first time I popped in it was like a foreign language. Needless to say I'm picking up what your dropping day to day by not asking, but researching on my own<<<< (NOTE TO OTHER NOOBS). I have to admit, growing up in the 80's and being one of the only kids that I knew that had multiple pc's in the house (including trash 80, sx-64...etc. etc. I know, give me hell about em), it really irks me sometimes that I never took the time to actually learn something that would be so beneficial because I had [enter whatever BS here] to do! Second, if there just so happens to be some teens/high schoolers here that clicked on some erroneous Siri search about boobs en vitro spanks (refer to title, 'cause you know the "iDontknowwatyoujustsaidphone" doesn't hear very well) stay awhile and learn something! In addition, if you're not a teen, but just want to expand some knowledge base in your grey matter, get funky with the search bar!

Dude. I've been lurking for over a year, and everyday I learn something new. The people here are awesome and as long as you are posting in the right spot, not bugging the devs with demands and other BS, and trying to answer what questions you have on your own, there is always someone who will try to help.
I for one would like to give a thumbs up to just about everyone on the infuse forum!

Glad you mentioned it. For those out there who are subject to ask a dev "hey, can I have a different, pretty pink font?", or "I've been on facebook nonstop and my battery life is horrible".....please refrain. Not only does it Pi$$ off the devs (ref. noob vid) but it requires others who actually do want to learn something to read through countless threads of BS that isn't going to help. In other words, you're stepping on the toes of those whom this site is for. I'm sorry if you heard you could have the bestest phone with 1 simple step from some link on a yahoo site, but this ain't that site. (written in C_hoosierism)
