[DEV][WIP]Building ICS for the OV

[sellers86]

now that im got my broken linux back up and did a test build, id like to help with the build. is there a repo i would sync with or do i have to cherry pick?

Thank you devs, for your hard work. rell is a dumbass and has no clue what he is talking about.

if you read through this thread, you will find all the information you need. We seem to get up to the point where we have to run "lunch" and select our model. Although I just seen that Jerry posted that blarf won't be making any progress until CM fixes their bugs so...

look for bobzhome tdm and jerryscript in github and there's another guy that has a very stable build in the p500 section at xda

alright im using the iho ics branch on github. when i run lunch i get a bunch of devices ive never heard of so i select the one that says thunderc in it. it builds for a while then stops when i run make otapackage and make -j2 bacon. at the moment im trying make -j1 bacon. is the error a known one that has a fix or is that what you are working on? i was under the impression that we could get a .zip

 

[sellers86]

looks to be the same error. here is a screenshot

@sellers86 If you've never built before your best bet is to build a gingerbread build that way you get a win under your belt and you can look through the files to see what everything is and where things go. Also reading error reports is a good thing.

I've been thinking and could we build from luphirps git? (The guy who ported CM9 to the optimus one) our phones are indeed similar and would just take some edits to make it bootable, if I'm not mistaken.

I have built. a couple of times actually its just every time im about to tweak and post it on here my install breaks and i lose the rom. where are the error reports at. on the terminal its reporting it as error 1 and im not sure where to find the report on where it actually goes wrong.

It was talked about a couple of pages back. Yes they are similar but we havent been able to figure out how to flash the radio over to cdma. so even if we could get it to boot it would be useless

Well we could use it as more of a proof of concept for the time being, until we have a working ROM. Just my 2¢

ICS has BACON? Mmmmm bacon

+1 wifi only version would be awesome to play with and it may encourage more devs to help out after they see it on the phone

there trying to get ICS working on the Triumph over on AndroidForums. dunno if this was brought up here (i wont search almost 20 pages)

but CM9 has drivers and stuff for the MSM7xxx SoCs, maybe you can get hardware acceleration going for the OV?

or maybe youve done it already, i actually dont know the progress of the rom over here.

good luck guys!

haha its the command we use to start the build. I always wonder where they come up with these odd terms haha. To select the model we run lunch?! haha

Stop flooding the thread. It says [Dev] clearly in the title.....

The nexus s 4g just got a leaked version of ics 4.0.4. Looks pretty promising compared to 4.0.3

Don't worry, we stopped using this thread a month ago for development.

[re: after repo checkout/sync, "git branch" shows "(no branch)"]

Repo is not perfect, but it's a huge time saver!

Since you never performed an actual git init in that directory, it's not completely set up. Right after initial sync, go into the folder and do git checkout <branchname>, then add remotes, and commit as needed. If you are syncing your own repo, once you do a first push after syncing, you should have branches working properly. It's something to do with the head-master state, but it's beyond me to explain, I just kinda know how to deal with it.

I found this page: git checkout remote branch - Stack Overflow

Note this comment right below the top answer:

To expand on this: git doesn't allow you to work on someone else's branches. You can only work on your own. So if you want to add to someone else's branch, you need to create your own "copy" of that branch

So I think what's going on is:

• When you "checkout" a remote branch, it syncs your HEAD pointer to the remote branch's HEAD and that's it.
• "git branch" reports on the local branch. So it's saying you aren't on a local branch (you're synced to a remote branch).

Does that make sense?

Any git experts please feel free to correct me.
