[Q] ICE Android 4.0 - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't find a thread about ICS yet, so I goona post it here.
Is anybody out there intrested about a ICE Rom on the A101?? I know it's a bit early for this question, but would it run at all (with our 1Ghz processor)??
Thanks in advance...

on the gen 8 NO
on the gen 9 perhaps

- memory on G8 might be a problem, everything else should be far above the minimal reqs.
- G9 definitly.
with "ICE" you mean ICS, right?

Oh sorry I mistyped
And the thing with the memory: too bad

sorry I was wrong: http://www.androidmemo.com/2011/10/...-ics-minimum-hardware-requirements-256mb-ram/
G8 could be a big thing with ICS, maybe CM9 will help us out

Yes they announced that every GB device should be updateable.
So after having CM7 ......

i think everything is possible....ICS with compcache, fudgeswap and swap should run smooth on the gen8, on gen9 it should run without issues
i only hope that google will release ALL sources needed. With honeycomb there was not much going on with the sources.....

Cool! Hope someone intrested for that (I would so it, but I'm not a developer)
I Think it would be really nice to see ICS on the gen8 A101

What the heck is "fudgeswap" - just learned a new word
Can u explain?

y i already found this thread yesterday but somehow the search function send me to a site of the thread not even containing the word "swap"
Well at least I found this now.
Do you know if this is a gindgerbread only feature? Or does it work on Froyo already?
Google doesnt like "android fudgeswap" just crappy answers

Honeycomb development

Here's an idea, maybe something else can contribute or confirm it might works..
the Nook honeycomb image is actually running on top of a 2.6.29-omap kernel, which indicate that only some parts might require 2.6.36.3 functions.
I know that the main problem for me porting it, was the libc.so which uses kernel calls not found in our existing 2.6.32.9 kernel. so it crashed due to some cache functions not implemented.
- could the missing cache functions be implemented into our 2.6.32 kernel?
- can the Nook edition with a working libc.so (hopefully without FPU function compiled) be used to replace our xoom image libc.so which crashes?
So to make an early edition can we merge the ARMv5 libs (i assume it is from the emu) and use this with xoom edition and then keep our libnv* environment which is compatible without our nvrm_daemon (which no one can fix, although a proper kernel work for booting 2.6.36.3)
ideas.. but if its possible to put into "real life" is another story.
and how many can do experiments?
Artem wrote he is on the 2.6.36.3 kernel, but since we might have an option to go around, maybe also worth considering, if display driver lacks nvrm_daemon support.

obviously...same here...;-)
I am able to write basic scripts, xml etc.. and have a brain...

i tries all this out now.. and got passed some link references between libs but the "libc.so" issue came coming back..
so it did not work..
im closing the idea here :-( not worth spending time on, so only the solution with updating kernel and rewriting drivers must be the way forward.
May be I should wait for ubuntu 11.04 or some other linux OS for folio 100
Toshiba &Google is not so kindness. Are they only want to earn more money, right?

Yup, I also think that waiting for updated kernel + drivers from the new Toshiba folio 200 is a more feasible approach...

correct,
we already know it has different resolution . and probably better display now, and no hardware buttons on the side, so no I2C used for this..
i think its very different, as it probably also got 802.11n wifi now, which we dont have and need different ar6000 driver.
i think its a long road downhill for folio100 if the 200 edition should be anything close as source for porting.

Please, I'm no expert in this, so bare with me for asking questions.
Honeycomb uses a different kernel than Froyo ok.
For Froyo we have the source for all (hardware) drivers ?
Can the "android" part of Honeycomb (from for example Xoom) be put on
a kernel with required hardware drivers or are there stuff in the "android"
stuff that is hardware dependant ?
Is it hard to port drivers between kernel versions ?
Just trying to understand the many tasks need to get Honeycomb on Folio.

The problem in this case is there is no honeycomb kernel sources out there.

xoom kernel source is available, koush used it to make his clockworkmod work , and it works fine, and its also used for oc'ing.
but its pretty much the tegra2 source we can get from nvidia. but alot of porting to do.
So, What we are still missing is?

I dont give any money, because $aur0n want to backport some of the Cyanogen Mod 7 features
Please read the Developement Thread of Urukdroid.
Why we need more than one ROM?
If many Developers work on different projects, its crap
But if many Developers work on one project together, this project will be good
Thats my opinion Thats why i support Urukdroid by testing and helping on Developement
i think sauron should work on a cm7 port and base his future work on cm7
what wider range then with cm you could have you would profit from much more developers (userspace and some kernel work for sure too) and we would be faster on updates from google and completly independent(well not 100%) from soon stopping asus support
if we want to gain some life for our gen8 this is imo the last chance we have.

Or you start to helping the Developement of Urukdroid, so we can "gain some life in our gen8" Helpers always welcome I also just startet to help $aur0n at his great work on Urukdroid just last week and i've much more knowledge (even now)
And:
Be happy that we've a rom!
I've had the Archos Gen7 (Archos 5 Internet Tablet) and nobody developed things for it
Just some extremly unstable Froyo Alpha releases... very poor
But we've got a really good rom on Gen8 Be happy, and joyn Urukdroid "team"
@Lennb:
Why are there so many cars when a xyz is doing ok?
Because everyone has other needs, other opinions and other wishes.
So if you want to stay with Uruk, fine.
If someone wants MIUI.11 or CM19 ported it is his wish.
And if he is willing to pay for his wishes, than let him.
@gbohm:
€10 from me
my worry with urukdroid is that it is still based on archos because userspace stuff isn't open sourced, so the experience stays.
with cm you can work on every part of the "rom" the possibilities are a lot bigger.
you can't compare a modded rom with a custom kernel to a full blown aosp implementation.
i think sauron makes a wonderfull job but he is working on a platform with a short life span, cm is here to stay and with any new dev it will get better.

Wrong.
As stated often before we have the sde, which allows us to install another kernel.
If someone would implement one with nandroid features, scriptingsupport and second boot we have the recovery.
There is no need to break anything.
And juts o get CM working that is not even needed.

Yes it got cracked. BUT no developer in his right mind is going to use that crack.
If you apply the crack the possibility of bricking your device is growing exponentially because there is no fallback position available.
Other android devices have fastboot or sd card boot out of the box.
Archos has neither so if you patch the boot0 and avboot and the next time the user wants to install a stock firmware there is a big possibility the device will be bricked if that firmware updates only one of the two boot loaders.

You can't tell people what they want.
You can only listen to them. They're willing to PAY money to get a CM7 port. That means that they're pretty set on one.
I would like a port too and I'm willing to put up $20 for someone to port over clockworkmod and another $20 for a stable CM7 build.
CM7 would be WAYYYYY faster than Uruk or any other manufacturer firmware. Have you SEEN how slow the Archos Gen 8 tablets can be? Something OBVIOUSLY doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Nothing with a 1GHZ snapdragon processor that runs Android 2.2 should fall so behind in nearly every task it takes on.
Not to mention that 256 mb of ram should be more than enough.
20$ from my side too, for stable CM7+ on archos 101
thank you i hope that we will raise some money to attract a dev who could buy himself an archos and get it paid from us after he build cm

Question - about honey comb rom

I am a complete noobie as far as rom development so this may not be possible but....
i was looking on the xda forums and saw the developer got a working of honeycomb version on the dell streak 7 which is a harmony based device also I think. any dev can maybe examine his kernel and see if it can be applied on the g tablet?

There are a few versions of HC that work on the G-Tab. What specifically are you referring to?
Are you saying the Dell has Harmony with full HW acceleration?
thats what it sounds like other than than they he doesn't seem to have oc capabilities and issues with usb mounting. but thats why i wanted to know if anyone has looked at it he got 3.2 pulled from a xoom so i don't know.
saw the Umodified Honeycomb on Kernel 2.6.36 - Updated 21/07/2011 for the adam has full hardware acceleration ..... maybe if someone can take parts of his kernel and mix it with one of ours we can get a hc kernel with full hd acceleration?

I'm totally guessing but I think those HW drivers are specific to the honeycomb kernel. I've been following that thread and I'm totally impressed at what Rayman has been able to do. I'm sure when that's done, we'll be able to use that kernel too.
But then again...pershoot is a muthaf'in genius haha. So maybe he can use it.

I am currently using Flashback 5.5 and with his latest kernel, plants vs zombiesv is the only game that will not work. Everything else is great!
This has been the best HC ROM I have used so far.

Actually, there are plenty of working GB and HC roms. What made you think otherwise?
My understanding is that if the developers had the source code necessary for hardware acceleration, we would eventually have a fully working ICS rom. I think Viewsonic doesn't care enough to have someone work with nvidia to get the source code.
Once google releases ICS source code, we should have a usable ICS rom, at least

I'd be careful not to get too excited...this is very dependent on the few developers we still have, wanting to stick around even longer to try to get this to work. They might decide to move onto a different tablet also...

ROM for CM7 Complete... Whats Next?

Gday guys,
I have a question regarding the short term future of the Nook Tablet. Now, Celtic Solutions have finished making CM7 ROM, I am unsure about what happens next.
I have got the latest CM7 Rom installed on my Tablet when it was released in Early April, if i wanted a more recent update version of CM7, what must i do.
I'm just a bit unclear about what is meant to happen next? Apart from CM9.
Is it possible that someone can shead some light on this topic for me.
Cheers Steve
CM7 is complete enough that it can be used quite well as a daily driver. It was never really meant to be an end all be all for the Nook tablet; more of an interim rom until CM9 was complete/stable. A new developer is being brought in for CM9 so stay tuned for development.
I don't really know if there is being much work done on CM7 but like I said, its fairly complete as is. CM9 is as well, with the exception of the proper kernel and subsequently hardware acceleration (netflix, higher end games).
Ah I see, well I can't wait for the full release of cm9 then. I've seen them talking about the cm7.2, does that relate to the 8GB tablet.
I know I'm not meant to ask this but... Have they put a rough ETA on when cm9 will be released? Loads of guys donated to buy some developers a nook tablet, do we can't be far off. What do ya think?

There was a misunderstanding about some gpl issues beetween the NT build config and proper source git sync.
All got clear after original_ganjaman spoke with CelticWebSolutions.
So CelticWebSolutions when find some time may update CM7.
Theres never an ETA.
I'm so happy with CM7 I'm not even looking anymore

Is there something wrong with the 7.2 build you have now? CyanogenMod's 7.2 branch is the latest release, their fixes are mostly bugfixes related to specific devices now, since they've moved most of their development to the CM9 devices.
As said previously, there is no ETA for cm9. When they get the kernel working, when they finish their respective tweaks, it'll be done. If you have any programming knowledge, they're actively looking for new members to help with the work though!
