Like a few of you knows I'm working on a CM10 (Android 4.1.2) port from source for our device, so I open this thread, to discuss the work in progress, so... NOBODY THAT DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD ROM FROM SOURCE IS ALLOWED TO POST NOTHING HERE.
Our device
Our platform it's U8500, subversion U8430, codename montblanc, a SoC developed by Sony, but our manufaturer is Samsung, and our device codename is golden. The default clock cpu speed is 1 Ghz and our GPU renderer is Mali-400, our wifi/bluetooth/fm-radio receiver version is bcm4334 using a bcmdhd module.
What means that?
That means that our processor it's one completely closed, there's no source nor documentation about none of the strange binaries with what we must to work. Officially our latest android version is 4.1.2, the one I'm porting, so there's a big possibility of that finally all becomes to work, but also there's a big possibility of that evertyhing will work buggy and slow.
When will you release it?
I've a few interesting ideas about quality, at least it must to have everything working, and the UI must to be more or less fast. That means between one week or ten years. I'm a 16 years teenager studying and with girls in mind, so DON'T ASK FOR ETAS/UPDATES
Will you support or Galaxy S3 Mini variants?
I DON'T LIKE TO SUPPORT A DEVICE I DON'T OWN, SO THE ANSWER IS NO, I'll only support GSM version without NFC chip.
But the source code it's on my github, and I don't think that can be too much difficult to port it to another variant.
I've found a bug!
You're awesome men! But this is full of bugs, and most of them are know.
If you want to report bugs please read THIS HOWTO first. Please try to provide logs if you see errors (logcat and dmesg). If you don't know how to do that check google or ask people here to help you. Contact me on:

Alpha3 (23-02-13)
- Camera (Only pictures, no camcorder, slow panorama)
- Minor things with Audio and Sensors
Alpha2 (22-02-13)
- Audio
- HW Decoders
Alpha1 (07-02-13)
- Internal SDCard
- SMS and Calls
Alpha0 (02-02-13)
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- External SDCard
- USB Mounting
- Sensors (Orientation&Brightness)
NOTE: I'll now release none of the Alpha0, that's are for testing myself, if you want it build from source.​

That's exactly the kind of questions I don't expect here...
Yeah, but please next time ask me over a pm or directly on email.
Keep this clean.

Congratulations Oliver I've not been very active lately, but I've followed your progress and it is remarkable! Cheers! Will be trying a first build, and try to implement the button-reboot-into-recovery combo into init (so that in case the system fails to boot and adb was not enabled, booting into recovery does not require a full /system reflash over Odin/Heimdall)

---

It's already built into cm

---

Well, now internal sdcard works too, it also asks for pin code, sms works, and calls too, but you can't use them really because sound is not working... xD
Data can't work, but still is asking for some binaries, so there's still a possibilitie

---

Looks like the issue with no internet over data is apns missing, there isn't anyone especified, so I tried to add it, but didn't get saved...

Have you tried looking at system/etc/apns-conf.xml? If you need it you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wnj7d723bwi7wfc

Then it's probably a bug in the radio, cause data is connected to the network carrier.

---

Well that's the actual situation, Sound, Mobile Network and Camera aren't working, and I'll not release CM10 without them. What actually it's scaring me is just Data and Sound, specially sound, since looks like a really STE thing.
I've the parts of logcats reporting those errors:
- Data Mobile:
Code:
I/SystemServer( 1999): Connectivity Service
D/ConnectivityService( 1999): ConnectivityService starting up
E/MobileDataStateTracker( 1999): default: Ignoring feature request because could not acquire PhoneService
E/MobileDataStateTracker( 1999): default: Could not enable APN type "default"
I/WifiService( 1999): WifiService starting up with Wi-Fi disabled
D/WifiWatchdogStateMachine( 1999): Disabling poor network avoidance for wi-fi only device
The important part is the one saying "Ignoring feature request because could not acquire PhoneService", cause after it the code breaks, and forces the data network to stop. I've located the java function there:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../android/net/MobileDataStateTracker.java#L546
It happens inside the apns function, that's why it's nor possible to add apn and there's no one defined, so data mobile don't work.
This is catched when the variable mPhoneService is null, so we must to find a way to make it to not be null.
I hope there's someone with more java knowledge than me, so we can found the problem.
- Sound:
This is making me to feel bad, because the prebuilt samsung sound binaries are already added, and I cannot see any other missing. Looks like a problem with the specific STE binaries missing things, I suppose this is the problem:
Code:
E/ADM ( 2262): [ERR] omx_log:258 Init --> OMX_ErrorInsufficientResources
E/ADM ( 2262): [ERR] vendor/st-ericsson/variant/multimedia/audio/adm/src/ste_adm_main.c:60 il_tool_log_Init() failed!
E/ADM ( 2262): [ERR] vendor/st-ericsson/variant/multimedia/audio/adm/src/ste_adm_main.c:91 unlink() No such file or directory
I/ADM ( 2262): 4: 73949998: [INFO] db:622 DB closed, res = 0
I/admsrv ( 2261): ADM server terminated
I'll try to contact Jerpelea, one of the most active members of sony novathor devices on oficial CyanogenMod team, maybe he can give me some interesting points.
- Camera:
This is the less important thing for me, there're still some binaries to be added and also some keys to be added for libcamera_client.so source. I suppose it's not the most difficult thing. Sound and data mobile are more important...:highfive:
Anyway this is where it's failing, but as I've already said, are just some simple things:
Code:
I/CameraService( 1681): CameraService started (pid=1681)
E/HAL ( 1681): load: module=/system/lib/hw/camera.montblanc.so
E/HAL ( 1681): Cannot load library: link_image[1916]: 1681 could not load needed library 'libblt_hw.so' for 'camera.montblanc.so' (load_library[1118]: Library 'libblt_hw.so' not found)
E/CameraService( 1681): Could not load camera HAL module

i'm an experienced developer and today i will get a galaxy s3 mini and then i will help you for the first problem....try to comment these lines of codes so cycle doesn't break and then rebuild. for the second problem...yeah this is a mess honestly and we must work around soemthin'.....for the third problem you have missed libblt_hw.so in lib folder or in hw folder check that

---

Audio is workinggggggg!

---

Well and hw decoders are working too now, video watching on gallery I mean, haven't tested youtube.
I'm gonna give an attempt to add missing camera binaries, the idea for mobiledata of commenting out where the code break didn't worked...

Most of the bugs you have can be fixed using objdump!
I do not respond to tech support via PM

:fingers-crossed:
Let's gonna fix HW Decoders/Encoders (I broke them again) and Data Mobile.
After those things you'll receive a BETA0 build full of minor bugs and superlaggy, but usable for daily if you're awesome.:laugh:

Very Nice.
