[ROM][CM9][ICS][4.0.4] Cyanogenmod 9, Android ICS 4.0.4

someone has got to crack the code on this. THANK GOD someone like Arjen is actually giving a damn. the dumbasses at XDA cant ing help anyone no matter how nicely you ask. i had to figure out all these things on my own and believe me it was NOT that straightforward.

Well, how do I bring this...
I am from XDA :D

Building again on 2 different machines, one is a patched p500 kernel/rom the other one a p505. Looks like last has problems on building kernel again, the first looks like it's going well.
If it's ready I will flash it and if it boots... It's for you.

After that I will use it as base for nightlies/weeklies.

Keeping fingers crossed :D

Going to bed now, you will hear again when I'm awake :D

Edit:
Every time when I select the novatek screen it fails. Going to look for newer drivers.

hey arjen is thee anything you need that would help (nandroid dump of stock p505 gingerbread, kdz files) lol im just thinking off the top of my head here i know the kdz can be decompressed some how but not sure exactly how.

dont know if it would help just trying to contribute the best i can
i do have android sdk and root access.

i have tried to pull the logs but for some odd reason when it locks up at the boot animation cm screen it wont even show its self to the computer have not tried the latest attempt yet but planning to in an hour or so. im on eastern time
 
here is a full logcat and dmesg using the commands adb shell dmesg and adb shell logcat

hope this helps and this is for the build dated 06-04-2012 i think its the most recent one

and a note after it locks up on the android on the surfboard animation screen it will no longer recognize after a reboot you have to do the 2 wipes in cwr in order for it to not black screen and recognize in the computer
 
just a note while running logcat you will see in the text that i let it run a few times it locks up at this point (I/PackageManager( 361): /system/framework/framework-res.apk changed; collecting certs) at that point it starts over and then again loops after the (I/PackageManager( 361): /system/framework/framework-res.apk changed; collecting certs)

i did see a few lines that looked like this
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'usagestats' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'batteryinfo' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'telephony.registry' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'sensorservice' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'entropy' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'power' died

I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'media.audio_flinger' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'media.player' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'media.camera' died
I/ServiceManager( 101): service 'media.audio_policy' died

not sure if that is normal or not but hey its a start
 
I noticed that in order to get a kernel log (the correct one) you need to time your command right.
So, you should have your phone plugged in while in recovery, flash the rom, reboot. and make sure you have the computer terminal ready to (in the adb directory with the command "adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt"). Then, while its booting you'll here the plugged in/unlpugged sound a few times on your computer. When you get to the CM9 splash screen, wait for about 20-30 sec. and you'll hear the sound of it plugged in. at that moment do the command adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt, then it should work. hope that helped.
Note: if you didn't know, if the command went through, the dmesg.txt file will be saved in this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\dmesg.txt
(Substitute the folder names with yours, i'm on Windows 7)
 
Got a booting kernel with novatek-drivers! Only the wifi is bugged.
It's tested on the p500-cm9.
Will upload it so you can test it on the p500 rom.

OMG OMG gonna test this right now......with which rom though? and wifi doesn't work at all?
BTW arjen your dropbox got disabled for traffic.
 
Thanks Arjen for doing in a few days what we were trying to get for months. This whole thing probably turned into a bigger project than you orinigally thought so thanks much for sticking with it so diligently. Will test on my thrive now just for fun hehe

edit: Well I got to the LG logo and it reboots almost right after that XD. It's no suprise cause I'm on the thrive, just thought I'd try.
