[WIP][ROM] CyanogenMod 9 for LG Optimus S (Yes, it's ICS!)

[drewwalton19216801]

Curiousnoob said over in the OV forum that it boots on the OV but the only radio-related stuff that works is wifi, no phone service.

@drewwalton19216801 Would you have any remote ideas as to which files I could replace to get this thing to get service on the Optimus V? maybe apn-config.xml? maybe services.jar? What did you replace to get it to work on the S?

I'm super excited to flash this

You're not gonna get any radio service on the Optimus V with this ROM as-is. Ever. The only possible way would be to build from source with Optimus V files and various other configs to allow the use of Froyo proprietary libs.

EUREKA! EUREKA! I got SMS working!

Simply flash this build with ONLY wiping dalvik and cache. From previous cm7 port of course

Then got a text message at boot. Going to post this in the other forum.

Edit: only receive. It won't send because of lack of data, of course.
Hopefully further advancements though

Can you replicate this? Did you receive any further SMS messages?

Thanks drew.

Looks great so far, just flashed to try it out.

What is working is really fast, scrolls thru everything fast and smooth. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

This could be the best ROM for the optimus S.

Don't have another phone to test with, and the people didn't send another text because I didn't text back. Lol. Will do more testing tomorrow, though

@drew @gannon I just flashed from cm7 to cm9 ONLY wiping cache and dalvik and I had no service, as drew was expecting. I think what happened with gannon was that the system hadn't updated yet, so there was some remaining cm7 on it. I say this because when I tried to replicate what you did, it booted quickly AND then said updating apps and proceeded to update 57 applications. What probably happened to gannon was that before the apps updated, he had the ability to receive texts (maybe he coulda sent them too) but by the time it was done updating, the updating had broken whatever app wasstill allowing him service... which means that service could he as simple as putting an apk from a cm7 rom into the cm9 /system/app.

Its just a stab in the dark.
thanks drew for giving us some more hope for ICS over on the Optimus V.

It's impossible. CM7 means an incompatible baseband. JerryScript clarified on this in the Optimus V thread.

Strike one...

To the home key issue: have you tried looking in system/usr/keylayout and changing some of the files? Lo throwing suggestion out there

Thanks... I saw that after I posted what I posted.

It was still cool to play around with your ics. Very awesome.

I tried Buttonremapper, only 4 key codes popped up. Power button was one, the rest I can't remember.

Tried that out too. Its only showing the keys located in: system/usr/keylayout/7k_handset.kl
Odd. I'm wondering if we can add the home keys in there...

Edit: I think I found the home key in: /system/usr/keylayouts/thunder_keypad.kl

If anybody wants to try, try adding:

key 229   HOME                WAKE

In /system/usr/keylayouts/7k_handset.kl

So i guess the Optimus T's hardware keys are linked differently?

Not to sound noobish, but I've yet to understand what the optimus t has to do with this...

Edit: unless you're talking about the optimus one, which would make more sense
But yeah, the optimus one's keylayout is definitely linked differently.

I tried button remapper but I couldn't install it except by pushing it into data/app and it force closed on me. How did you install it?

There's a thread on xda over the button remapper with the download attached. Make sure you enable unknown sources.

Yeah I have the apk and I've used it before, but it was on my sdcard and I wznted to install it from there. It coulda been the unknown sources thing though. I forgot about that.:-[

I don't know if you guys are gonna find how the buttons will work because there Really so many of those key files and some have the home key in there some don't. Try comparing them to the key files of a Tom that works. Maybe that might help.

We'll I don't have an app to access the SD card, so I just install it from the status bar when it got done downloading. (Had to do it twice)

To drew:

This might help with the SMS or phone problems:

I just compared kl files from ics and iho andthey were almost identical. Only difference is that there's an extra kl file in ice /use/keylayout called generic.kl

I'm sure that they are the same, but what's inside is what's worrying me. If you can, try replacing some files one at a time and see which ones do anything. Make sure you backup the ics files of course
