Seen this over on Android Police, and theres no mention of it here in our beloved LTEvo thread! Linaro is coming to CM9, and it sounds like very soon! Says to nearly double the speed on ICS. Heres the link:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...e-and-now-parts-of-it-are-being-added-to-cm9/
CAN NOT WAIT!
Wow....the interview was over and google's android was still running it's benchmark. Amazing stuff, can't wait till it's implemented into CM9. Thanks for this OP, it was a good read/video.
/drools for CM9+Linaro
JBQ said that they actually merged some of the Linaro code into Google's internal master branch. You know you've written good code when Google accepts it into AOSP.

We've already merged some of Linaro's changes into AOSP (and therefore into Google's internal master branch), a few weeks ago. Some more are pending review and look promising.

Sounds pretty awesome, but I had never really planned on going back to AOSP... wonder if any of this would be able to be implemented into a Sense-based ROM? That would get me excited.

Beat me to it lol. Yea Kush is getting close it looks like. Once the data/sms are straightened out, I'll be all over it awaiting Linaro
from what I gathered watching that video, it seemed that we will not benefit from this....
Seemed the changes done were kernel level and geared to the specific SoC the Nexus runs...saying they were CPU optimizations, and that it mainly was cleaning the "bad code" allowed in -o2 optimization, and once cleaned they were able to run through o3 optimization...
correct me if im wrong in that thinking though...
still pretty cool!

I mean im sure some of it is real general Android related stuff in the kernel that could be ported over to other SoC's....But the guy was fairly clear it was CPU related and delt with cleaning up the code to be able to do -o3 optimization on it...
deff need to read up on it more though...
Unofficial, I believe, means that it isn't supported by the CM team.
As i read the story its unofficial because its still being reviewed to be added to the tree.

Well if its CPU stuff then manufacturers need to be doing the optimizing basically and google would have to change their code for the CPU as well. In order for this to happen......right?

hi all
does we all expect to see a stable CM on the DNA ?
is there any reason why there wouldn't be ?
I asked Cyanogenmod this on Twitter: "any word on CM for DNA? In the works? "
reply from Cyanogenmod: "none internally."
No RIL

Currently the radio interface layer has not been hacked. Without this no AOSP based Roms (including cyanogen) will be usable. Everything right now is going to be sense based. Once somebody cracks the RIL it shouldn't be too tough to port a version of Cyanogen from something like the Nexus 4 due to the fact that it shares the same processor. Even if there is not official cyanogen support likely one of the developers will port a version and I would imagine/hope that it will be stable
On the Rezound forums we don't "officially" have CM but the RIL was cracked and the versions are pretty much daily driver stable.

Yeah, it looks like there is definitely code support for it. However, the actual resources (the images) aren't there as of 4.2.1. I haven't checked master though. Good find. That is certainly promising. I figure by the time the ril gets sorted there will be a decent chance that xxhdpi resources could be added. Maybe 4.2.2?

I think it will happen with the advent of slcd3 and ah-ips screens at these crazy high resolutions its got to. Hopefully sooner rather then later but I heard that sammy is promising an oled competitor as well so hopefully it will be added in anticipation of this becoming the market standard, or its there already, "I haven't checked master though" fingers crossed for either!!
In the future, will it be possible to extract Nexus5 rom/updates and apply them directly to G2 ?
Just asking, because G2 and Nexus are sharing a lot of same hardware.
It'll probably be easier to port Nexus5 rom, instead of having a lot of work on a common 10.2CM ?

Its fairly easy to port ROMS from Nexus 5. However reading log cats is the main thing here. Thankfully most people can't read log cats so it stops the noobs flood the place with terrible ports. To answer your question yes it can.

Yea the Optimus G Pro already received 4.4 based off the N4. I'm suprised we haven't got 4.4 based off the N5 yet. Perhaps the devs are still getting comfortable with the new hardware.
Real good to know about the N5/G2 ease of porting. I'm particularly curious about the kernels and how similar they are to one another. Moving forward with newer versions of Android, the kernels are the important thing.
I'm hoping it'll be easier to port roms over. The only concern I have is whether or not they'd work with the VZW version. Not sure if you could use the RIL from the G2 or a new file from scratch would have to be made to be able to get working data.

Ubuntu Touch has never used android as a base, you may be talking about this:
In the original porting guide, we had Android as the main OS, having Ubuntu separated in a container. We had that as our first solution as it's easier to just boot Android and bootstrap Ubuntu once Android is up and running (which was a base requirement for Touch). This architecture was traditionally called 'unflipped', and it's part of the raring and first saucy images we produced.
As we continued developing the platform, more issues we found with such architecture, making it harder to improve the quality for the Ubuntu side (ueventd x udev, full control of the services, upgradability of the compat layer, etc). So to be able to further improve the Touch images, we decided to flip the systems, making Ubuntu as the main host, and separating Android in a container, getting us to what we call 'flipped' images.

XDA Developers has a news section. There was a post here. It states:
Not much is needed to get started. You need to be running Android 4.2 or higher on an AOSP-derived ROM, 2.7 GB of free space, ADB on your desktop and your phone’s bootloader must be unlocked. Currently, this has only been tested by Canonical on the Google Nexus 4, but they state that other Nexus devices should work as well.

If the radio currently isn't supported, we would kind of be SOL even with it booted up. They mention a fix, but that requires using a 4.3 radio, something not available to us.
