AOSP Android 2.2 FroYo! 1/22/11 New Build Posted

[smccloud]

Good news! I think I ALMOST have AOSP working! I got a TON of drivers to load now (according to dmesg), but the phone keeps bootlooping. I think once I can get it past the bootloop, we should have a fully working AOSP 2.2

Woot

Can you get it to boot without loading the other drivers?

Yes, but Android runs very poorly (laggy as heck) without the drivers, and isn't reall functional. You can download the AOSP ROM I uploaded in the first post if you want to at least try AOSP out.

Give us an update! What the deal???

These things take time, read the 2 posts above you and it tells you the "deal".

If you can get it to boot without the native drivers, you have a place to start from.

How many divers are we taking about? Could try adding a driver at a time to see where it freaks out at. Time intensive, but you can rule things out.

(just trying to give some ideas about how to get past this.)

The reality is that since the phone comes natively with 2.2 on it, switching to asop shouldn't be too painful... The kernel drivers are the most painful part... Getting the boot image happy can be a pita... Having the wrong drivers sucks!

The drivers that don't work are pretty much everything specific to our board in our phone (MSM-7227). I am in the process of playing around with the libs right now to see what I can take out and what I need to leave for the drivers to load properly.

Its one of those "should be easier than it is" situations...

Not sure I know enough to help...

I'm now going to try to compile AOSP for "user" instead of "engineer" to see if it makes a difference. If this doesn't work, I'm going to stop using LG's instructions and follow some for the Nexus One (making necessary edits along the way). I have no idea why LG made it so difficult to do this... It's still 2.2, so it shouldn't be this difficult.

Good news guys! I got AOSP to boot with GPU acceleration enabled

Dumb question: what's between the aosp and the stock rom that came with the optimus? The only thing I could think of is the bloatware.

Good job btw.

AOSP will be significantly faster, we'll have the ability to use more mods, and it's a stepping stone to getting CyanogenMod working on our phone
