ICS Booted on Cliq XT!

[adlx]

Hey Guys. Someone at Hero development managed to get Hardware Acceleration to work, with a OpenGL 2.0;

Have anyone there been able to compile the TeamICS code? That way we may get a working ICS to our CliqXT.

@Turl, do u think u could try compiling? I've read that with the Hardware Acceleration turned on, ICS is faster then Gingerbread on the Hero. Maybe u could help us?

Marcelo, what Android project do you use for repo init?

Hey guys. I'll answer some questions:

The main Hero GSM threat that I've started to build the first ICS for XT is this: [ROM] Glassmacka - Ice Cream Sandwich. -"I'm too old for this ****." (25-12-11) - xda-developers

I've gotten his code (Simon's) here: www.github.com/TeamICS

But, after the 4.0.3 update, nobody was able to compile the code anymore.

That's when a guy named Jaybob managed to get the build compiling with 4.0.3 to the CDMA version of Hero.

Here he gives some explanation: [DEV] HeroC ICS 4.0.1 Development - Page 35 - xda-developers

Here is Jaybob's: [ROM][BETA 4.0.3][Evervolv-ICS-2.1.0-01MAR-HeroC] - xda-developers

Anyway, Jaybob said that he would be uploading the code that fix the compilation errors that we're having with 4.0.3; Hopefully that will help us get some candy too.

Getting back to the GSM version of Hero, here are the OpenGL 2.0 that enabled HW Acceleration on it: [MOD]Upgrading OpenGL to 2.0 - xda-developers

Some reports say that it's faster then Gingerbread lol

That's it folks. I'm now just waiting.

Quick remind: Don't ever flash the CDMA build on the CliqXT. Probable Brick; My build was based on the GSM Hero, ok?

If only 4.0.1 can compile, why don't we just work on getting that working instead of trying to track down errors in 4.0.3.

repo forall -c git checkout 4.0.1

^ That should do the trick. This is going to be where I start from later today.

@marcelo92 Thanks for the info

[marcelo92]

Amazing. The source code has been released by Jaybob. It's at Evervolv's Github.

I was going to compile, but my wifi suddenly broke in my linux OS. So I'm here to update u guys. That's it.

Good luck compiling it. Let's hope someone's successful.

The files to boot it into the XT are in my post on the second page.

Later!

That's amazing.Waiting for update

Looks this! maybe help us to get ICS on the Cliq XT

That post at GrupoAndroid is in reference to this article at XDA:
Qualcomm Releases Adreno 2xx GPU Binaries for ICS! | xda-developers

The first Motorola Androids (Cliq/XT/BF or Dext/Quench/Motus) phones use the Adreno 130 gpu which is incorporated into the MSM 7200/1 Snapdragon S1 processor - (https://developer.qualcomm.com/disco...-modems/adreno). Unfortunatelty, the new drivers are for the Adreno 200 series, and probably have only limited, if any, value for MB200/300/501 models.

The 130 gpu apparently had some problems; Qualcomm has dropped all support for it (along with the S1 chip).

Can be helpful...

Helo Guys! Jaybob updated his git sources, so we are able to compile ICS for HeroC again. (https://github.com/Evervolv)

Well, to build to the XT it's necessary to build to the Hero GSM, located here: https://github.com/TeamICS

I cannot tell if the GSM was updated, but the CDMA definitely was. So if anyone wants to compile, u should seek the mods in the Evervolv github and apply them into the TeamICS github. And then the files to boot in the XT are located in my build; (Basically the kernel, modules and update-script)

@adlx hey, if u want, we could work together this weekend. I cannot compile anymore, no more linux here. But I'd gladly try to help u and anyone. Maybe we could set up a team this weekend. @turl, @phoenixsong6 and @angourakis could join, I guess.

thats for adreno 200 and up that doesent work on the cliq xt

Um, what are you referring to? My previous comment was meant to indicate what to expect based on what I found, but I have no way to verify whether or not can be used. It's possible the drivers will work - at least to some extent - with the 130 gpu, but Qualcomm just doesn't support it anymore. It's up to the devs to decide whether or not it's worth pursuing.

Do someone want to use my PC to compile anything? Core i5, 6GB Ram... I really want Android 4.0!

Marcelo, you should check this out [ROM] ICS 4.0.3_initial-CliqXT (reduced fat version) and try get something out of it!
