[ROM][BETA] Quattrimus ICS

[HurrrDurrrDURP]

Just out of idle curiosity, what is this going to gain us? Better stability? Smaller kernel? I haven't taken the step that far yet, just wondering is all..

It might fix memory errors, kernel timing errors, and other low system level bugs.

Basically we are using a kernel(2.6.35) that was made around 2.3, so it still has a lot of the low level system settings for that system(2.3). What we have done is gone through the older kernel to make it compatible with ics by adjusting everything(By fusing some 2.3 kernel source with 4.0 Kernel source). But because it was made for 2.3, there are a lot of little bugs that can cause a lot of mess-ups. So by doing this we are boosting the compatibility of ICS with our phones, because this source is 100% google ics Kernel source.

In theory this should fix a lot of random reboots, and other little random bugs... In theory at least.

Also this should add a HUGE performance boost to I/O because in Kernel 2.6.38 google and other kernel devs redid the whole I/O system in Linux boosting it by A LOT. I still notice it to this day and im on 3.2

I can't find a blue theme for aokp except COBOLt on the market but its for hpdi. Are their anymore or anyway to make it work on our phone

Does aokp use cm9 themes? I am on cm9 running steel blue cm9 theme from the market.. didn't need any Modding to make it work...

Edit:

Just read their description you can use it on aokp

Mixer ics is also good

Looking for good cm9 or cm7 themes??? visit this site for good themes. http://forum.digitalhouseoftreats.com/

Download the theme, download a dpi changer, change dpi to hdpi(don't remember it off the top of my head), apply the theme, reboot, change dpi back to 160, enjoy.

HDPI is 140

just read the bit about new kernel sources. really stoked. ive been working off your source since bobzhomes still has a few issues. i can help with porting the bcm4325 drivers easily. just have to make sure to also pick up the extra gpio and bluetooth bits. plus in the current kernel i already did this just havent committed anything but probably should change the bcm4325 driver to be named "bcm4325" instead of "wireless" and rename the proprietary bins to match as well, just for the sake of not having 3 different names for one driver in the boardconfig (rtecdc, wireless, bcm4325 all = bcm4325 )

I don't feel bad, I never expected LG to release ICS on a msm7x27 platform, so this is manna from heaven (or Korea).

Yes this is google source, modified to support our hardware.

It should make the phone more stable and also play nicer with ICS stuff... Like the new adreno libs, the new network stuff, etc. But it may take a few iterations to get there.

I'll be more then glad to test it out as soon as you release one!!!

also btw the main problem with wifi hotspot not working is that in wpa_supplicant_8 hostapd is nested inside it as a sub-make directory. in wpa_supplicant 6 hostapd is seperated. was a simple matter of digging up the gingerbread hostapd and rewriting the makefile a bit to work inside wpa_supplicant 6.

still having a bit of trouble with it reguarding hostapd.conf and loading the ap firmware correctly, but i can atleast get it to turn on for a few seconds. i think maybe its looking for hostapd.conf and not finding it. it stumps me how they did it in iho, but im on a mission, ill figure it out, i hope lol.

The new kernel might actually fix this.

ehh, i have my doubts because wpa_supplicant_6 and 8 and hostapd are all in system/external, not the kernel. but theres a chance the hostap driver in the updated kernel might be better, even though config_hostap isnt set by default in our kernel or in ihos. not sure. o.o

Reason why I'm thinking as such, new drivers are such nice things :3

Nice! What does this mean in terms of drivers, hardware acceleration, etc?

The new kernel is going to be great! I can't wait, thanks so much! If we even get lucky enough to get hardware acceleration and new drivers, this is going to be even better!

The new kernel will give that, because the drivers will be compiled into ICS source code. Its how linux works

New Kernel == new Modules(Drivers)

Now some will be back ported, but either way this will increase out compatibility

Sweet! The only last thing we need to do is edit the build.prop to say we're a Google Nexus (or other) phone, so we can install "incompatible" apps.

It doesnt work like that, we will get new drivers and stuff, but the reason why he get the "incompatible app" warning is because some apps use built using the arm7 NEON instructions, which arm6 does not have. Basically the new drivers will just make the system run more smooth, and snappier !

Wait, is the msm7x27 Google source released for another phone such as Optimus S? If so, that could mean really good things, not just a new kernel and drivers, but also hardware acceleration!

That makes sense, but what also about the apps that don't run on 2.2, which was the original stock OS? I'm pretty sure Google knows our Optimus V only has (officially) 2.2. What'd be even more amazing though was if Virgin Mobile released an ICS (or even JellyBean) OS for us, but probably not since I think they stopped supporting our phone.

Edit: Optimus V is back in stock, so MAYBE they still support it..

Because higher API apps are backward compatible, its the hardware not the OS.

tested out CM9 for a week then swapped to AOKP for a couple days. not sure if it's my specific device or what, but i definitely prefer running CM9.

with AOKP i had random force closes and lags. CM9 i'm running much smoother. i'm sure it's personal preference as well, but a far as AOKP goes i don't need all the customizations.

i'm totally gonna steal their boot logo though, cuz i'm batcrap crazy on unicorns.

Looks like I'm not gonna be around to see this fom hit it's full potential. I upgraded today to the One V. It's sad to leave, but it's worth it.

I go on vacation and come back to a beta build. Awesome job getting to this point, tdm. This new kernel talk sounds promising also..
