LG Optimus S: 4.4 KitKat?

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

Well, I'm just curious to see how/if the Optimus handles it. If it's less hardware intensive then jb it'd be nice. I'm stuck for the moment

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

This is indeed interesting!
I first was made aware of KitKat 4.4 when some of my apps updated to support it..I was like Whaaaaaaaat?!?
I even posted something over in the V forum under the MiRaGe thread.
Good luck to you wraith and I'm sure everyone appreciates your time and effort into this
BIG thumbup!

thanks for the kind words. I'm still not sure how much further I'll be able to get. I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to building roms and I have no programing knowledge so everything I've done to this point is just copy and paste work from other people smarter then me. I'm also still hoping someone with more experience could dig in.

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

I've had to step back for a little bit due to an error I can't get past for the moment.... Plus I kind of messed up what I had going... I still need to learn to push my changes to my forked repo on github. For now I'm going to tinker with cm10.1 and .2 to give the armv6 some time with the new code for cm 11.0

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

it's going to be a week on that internet...
my starter plan was to build aosp generic_armv5 and start trying to patch the kernel. aosp generic gingerbread worked enough to poke around at with a good boot.img

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

@thewrath420 what's your github? I might try tinkering too and would like to see where you are

It's the same as my name here, thewraith420 but currently it's the same as Androidarmv6's because I haven't pushed any changes.... I actually still have to learn to do that

Which device tree are you using as I notice it isn't already in the androidarmv6 github (synced via their manifest)

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

I'm getting close. I don't have an Opti S so someone will need to be a guinea pig. Unfortunately, I'm building on my backup PC because an experiment is running on my main rig so this might take awhile to produce if I run into any hiccups.

Edit: Looks like the new Android Runtime (ART) has compiling problems on ARMv6. Trying some workarounds now.

That's where I made it to...

Edit:come to think of it... I have a file that might help you. I found an armv6 compatible atomic.h... It seems to get past where I was stuck on armv7 errors but spits up a new problem I couldn't get past... maybe it'll make more sense to you. Also if you need a tester I'd be glad to to.

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

I've got mine running Dante ROM right now for my daily driver, I will jump ship and run it if you post a flashable zip for CW Recovery to load! Can't wait for a new ROM to play with!

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

I would test the hell out of any pre alpha builds of a Kit-Kat ROM!

Re: 4.4 KitKat?

my dumb landline internet is supposed to be on by this evening. it's only been two weeks since ordering it... never could get past seventy eight percent repo sync tethered.
my new computer already arrived, overpowered and beefy.
maybe soon I can test my generic-armv5 theory and at least have something to look at.
