[Q] why has no developer ported tytung's kernel to htc desire? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if you look at the htc hd2 forums, you will see everyone is using tytung kernel for their 4.0 to 4.2 roms as it has fully working 720p video playback, camera and camcorder... why hasn't any htc desire developer ported his work? i would think it would be easier/more flexible than trying to port kernel 3.0 which seems to never be able to work completely because of lack of drivers.

Maybe because making a working kernel 3 is more important than porting other kernels.

i think we will never get a complete kernel 3 tbh as there's a lot of drivers not available..
It looks much easier/feasible to port Tytung work on camera/camcorder as the 2.x kernel of HD2 is very similar to htc desire's 2.x kernel..that would require less effort than trying to port kernel 3 (maybe i am wrong..) Qiss Rom and Tytung have been able to get a fully working camera/camcorder using kernel 2.x; so it is possible
at least i have been able to enjoy ICS with qiss rom and marius.a's rom (not a single issue to the major components : camera/camcorder is perfect, BT, GPS, Fm radio and all apps and games work great) ... i would have liked enjoying Jelly bean on my desire before changing phone next year

man you are wrong i have a second device (samsung galaxy5) and it has kernel 3.x working great and it's the only ARMV6 phone whit this kernel and if someone could do it for such a low end phone we can do it so don't worry we'll have our 3.x kernel

It wouldn't work, because nikez uses ion now in his rom instead of pmem! With pmem and tytung's camera fix, which tytung already dicussed with nikez in nikez's thread, it would work, but nikez dont want to revert back to pmem

Desire HD or Z ROM

Wow! The camera is now working for the new sense.
The new official versions of those new sense roms will come out very soon (Robociks RCMixHD and Desire Z Port).
Now, I am confused :
To rotate or not to rotate?
Anyone can help me decide?
Personally I don't like the look of it in Landscape so I'll say HD
Not followed the camera progress for a while so if it's working I'll be rooting again soon
I was going to ask the same question!. I can live without 720p for the time being - seems a minor fix compared to actually getting the camera working in these ROM's.
I am currently running Teppics ROM and i do like it but i am very tempted to try another!
Can i just ask what is the rotating part you are talking about? - I have not kept up with the ports until the camera issue was resolved?

to be honest, the rotating kind of annoys me, so i'm a HD rom man.
the MT4G rom is also interesting and worth a look if you want to try something a bit different. really fast too.
Hmmm....it seems rotation is not to everyone liking..
720p is also a minor problem for me as long as I have the camera working because I need the camera for emergency use when I don't have my Panasonic FZ38 with me.
Is there a speed difference between Z and HD?
My Mistake, ignore this reply
*This*
Never use 720p as it's terrible on the Desire so it doesn't bother me - just a working camera will do the job!!
All flashed and working fine
aaa said:
If I am not mistaken, MT4G is a non-Sense ROM.
I have tried Cynogen about two weeks ago, I like the speed but I got the impression that I was not holding an HTC Desire on my hand because the Sense was missing and Sense is a kind of a birth mark on every normal HTC Desire.
That is why I use Leedroid instead

Have you find any issues or bugs (the laggy 720p is already known)? Notification LED?
According to forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818392 : "Rom is cleaned of bloatware."
Do you know :
What are/ is the bloatware/s? or what is missing or removed?
One of my fav mod now is the DSP manager and I am currently using Leedroid 2.2f, does the DSP thing works on that ROM?

the bloatware was all the t-mobile junk and game demos/apps etc
DSP manager isn't working on this rom at the moment
(but the dev is very helpful and will probably try to fix it if you ask him nicely )
In my opinion the rom kernel isn't the best, I've tried quite a few over the weeks and coutts99 kernel remix is the best so far (now with audiomod to boost the sound)
there is a promised new release version later on tonight so if you're thinking of flashing this rom hang on for a few hours...!

I will definitely wait.
I want the new sense badly
It doesn't have to be the same DSP manager as I use at the moment as long as I can adjust the audio quality as I please.
I have tried the HD Rom 3 weeks ago, but switched back to Leedroid because of the camera was not working.
Now the camera is working, I can live with the 720p problem.Although, I am still hoping that the 720p problem will also be fixed soon.

[DEV] Idea for using 3.0 Desire kernel - Attention Kernel Devs

Hi all.
Not sure whether this was the right place to post, but coming from a development perspective, I thought it was fitting. If not, mods - please feel free to move.
This thread is here to bring the currently worked on 3.0 kernel for the Desire to the HD2 developers' attention. There is minimal difference in the Desire hardware when compared to the HD2, and therefore would probably not be a difficult port to perform.
The main benefit of porting this kernel over to the HD2 is the improvement in ICS, namely through Hardware Acceleration. Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, the OP over in the Desire thread seems to think Hardware Acceleration is working.
I'm reaching out to all the HD2 developers to collaborate their efforts in an attempt to port this over to HD2 - it will bring us an even more well-rounded ICS build, extending the already expanded boundaries of our beloved HD2's.
The link to the original thread is here.
The link to the github source code is here.
All credits go to Chaosz-X for the current work on the kernel. I am simply acting as a messenger.
I wish you guys luck, and hopefully it won't take long to get some work going on this!
MrP.
It is not as easy as you might think. Altough the hardware is the same the radio is completely different because it is from windows mobile. Wich makes most of the work on the ics kernel useless. No and radio's can not be changed easily because they are closed source.
then how did the desire 2.6.35 kernel get ported ?
I thought hardware acceleration was already working in ICS.

Forgive me for my lack of extensive knowledge in the kernel department, but, considering that quite a few of the currently developed kernels for the HD2 are based on the Desire sources, I would've assumed that what was done before in porting the 2.6.35 kernel, could be adapted to work with this kernel.
Once again, not saying that's right, because I'm basing that conclusion off logical thought, not experience.

My point above exactly. If it's been done before, surely the steps needed to adapt the 3.0 kernel are not far out of reach. The people I think we should be talking to are marc1706, and tytung. I'll pop them a PM when I have a moment.

It's not true Hardware Acceleration - its a hack of sorts. It gives a boost in performance no doubt, but most likely no where near true Hardware Acceleration.
Thanks for the input guys.
MrP.
It might be possible to port the 3.0 kernel to the HD2 but the thread you linked is currently providing a 2.6.35.14 kernel. They are planning on releasing a 3.0 kernel.
In order to get a 100% supported hardware acceleration we will need a 3.0 kernel, since ICS was build for the 3.0 kernel. It's pretty much the same with the glitches in sense 2.1 and 3.x ROMs we had prior to using the desire .35 kernel.

Thanks for your input marc1076.
I am aware that it's not 3.0 yet, however, he has backported quite a few things for now, mainly concerning hardware acceleration (as written in the OP).
Would it not be a good step to then try this kernel on our current ICS builds in the hopes of any improvement? Or perhaps alternatively incorporate the backports (possibly more difficult) into our current ICS kernel(s) in an attempt to edge closer to true Hardware Acceleration?
A few thoughts, may be possible, or not - feel free to correct me. Thanks again for the advice.

Thanks for your reply warrenb213.
However, I'm kinda lost as to what you are saying - are you saying that our current kernel (namely Tytung's kernel) for ICS is not a proper ICS kernel (which it isn't really, it's adapted from GB kernel from what I can tell), and until we have a kernel dedicated to ICS, there won't be any of the above mentioned additions?
If that's the case, what is your reasoning for saying that if I may ask? And also, where can these 'true' ICS kernels be sourced from? (As far as I know, the only 'true' ICS kernels around are based on 3.0, which in essence, defeats the object of us porting these additions back in the first place).

First of all, tytung's kernel which is based on hastarin's sd kernel is a base of .32 kernel from froyo source of the eVO 4g. It was not supposed to be used in gb but since it works, no worries.
Even though AOSP is opensource, the driver code for the devices is not, which makes porting difficult and moreso when the device actually never had any drivers for that specific os (read Android on HD2).
There is already an initiative (thread to be precise) in the qualcomm developer forums pleading them to opensource the qsd8250 drivers so that devs who are not so rich can backport ics to n1, desire (or HD2 for that matter) since it is clear that HTC certainly won't and google too has given up n1.
What tytung did to make his kernel work with ics is add upon the old base, it works but is dirty and should lead to unexpected issues.
The true ics kernels are based on the 3.0.1-tag of linus's repo.
You can sync into linus's 3.0.1 and compare it to the kernel source code of Galaxy Nexus, see the android changes, port them to the vanilla kernel, copy htcleo board files while rebasing them on 3.0.1 and adding the radio code from current kernels. It is far easy to say this than to actually do this when looking at the staggering size of the linux codebase.
The question is how many of the HD2-specific changes were broken by
a) changes in the upstream Linux codebase in between 2.6.32 and 2.6.40 (aka 3.0)?
b) android-specific changes between Froyo, GB and ICS
EDIT: There seems to be a working (except for USB mass storage) 2.6.35 kernel here. This at least reduces the number of upstream code changes to deal with.

Because it was an htc kernel just like the prevous evo 4g kernel so porting it was more easy. If you look at the 2.6.35 cm kernel it is highly unstable and the MSM kernel is also an AOSP kernel like the cm kernel.

That does not make sense, I think. If the Desire devs get a working kernel for the Desire, the changes needed to make it working on the HD2 should be the same no matter if they are starting from a HTC or an AOSP codebase.
That it will be more complicated to get a working 3.0 Desire kernel without HTC's codebase is a challenge the Desire devs will have to face unrelated of the porting effort to the HD2.

SPEAKING FOR THE NOOBS
I LOVE MY PHONE TO ME IT'S SUPER FAST,
BUT WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING IS THAT IF WE HAD A NATIVE ANDROID WITH THE SAME SPECS AS OUR HD2 IT WOULD BE EVEN FASTER AND BETTER?
THIS IS MY FIRST SMART PHONE SO I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
turn your caps lock off.
Short answer: You can expect the same performance from the HD2 as from the Nexus One and Desire, given it runs the same software.
Slightly longer answer: This is a development thread. What we are talking about is getting the linux kernel (think: core of the system) version used by ICS running on our phone.
Getting this to work -as opposed to trying to get a Froyo/GB kernel working with ICS- would benefit both performance and stability.
There are some issues with that. Most of them are related to the fact that Google and HTC have dropped official support for the Nexus One and Desire. The only issue related to the HD2 not being an native Android phone is the need for a special radio driver.
EDIT: If you tried to be funny: You failed.

In most of the custom rom threads, dev's do not like being asked about why the camera doesn't work. But I can't seem to find the answer so i'm posting it here.

Because ics is a new android base and they are working as hard as they can to get it working. They don't want to hear about it not only because its in the list of what doesn't work and don't want bug reports, they also have put in an incredible amount of work and so many people put pressure on them about the camera as it is. Developing roms and kernels without a working base to start with is incredibly painstaking and is not easy. It's amazing they have gotten as far as they have with it since ace devices have no official ics base to work with. Just be patient. It will all get worked out eventually.
And don't forget that camera is not the most important in a phone
So they're going step by step... this is a very good way to proceed.
Because camera is for cam whores jk

The guys at the Desire development managed to get the camera working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
It's a rough hack and not very stable yet but works!
Also, the current ICS roms are running 2.6.x kernels, I'm positive it has something to do with that. Wonder if we'll even see 3.x on the DHD! Hope so!
Don't understand me wrong. I have great appreciation for the work that dev's do. Everyday I enjoy the fruits of the custom rom that I have loaded onto my device.
It was just that the camera in ics seems to be a problem for many custom rom developers and I assumed that it was something more specific to the developements with ics.

The kernel has changed and that requires new libaries to allow the camera to interact with it, these are the properiatary blobs that only HTC can officialy provide, now it should be possible when one of the DHD sister phones i.e Desire Z are provided with an official build that the camera can be reverse engineered, but if not it's gonna be a matter of trial and error to get any knid of functionality.
BTW If anyone with a better than my sketchy understanding wants to butt in and correct me please feel free
BTW BTW Lordclockan has a build with partialy working camera up and running
I agree with you. All the best to the devs ! Good luck !

[Q] Which is the best ICS ROM for Desire?

Hi everybody!
I'd like to know which is the best ICS Rom for our HTC Desire...
At the moment i'm running Cyanogen7.1 and everything is fine, but i'm tired of gingerbread and don't want to wait Cyanogen9 to be stable
So, in your opinion, Which is the best rom for everyday-use?
I know there are camera issues, but this doesn't matter to me
What i'm looking for is good stability, good script for application to ext, and good (fast) browsing experience!
Also have a question:
What kind of Hardware Acceleration are ICS Rom using? Is it native support with latest Adreno driver or other?
The best ICS rom is to use the search function and try yourself.

Edited by moderator. Maybe best if I removed the whole post so someone wouldn't think I'm actually being helpful in these kind of threads.
There is no "best ROM", most ROM's are different and people like different things.. some people prefer "eye candy" and other AOSP highly customizable ROM's.
It's up to personal preferrence.
I think there are only three anyway, and one of them is miui. So, try bcm and sandvold and see which one you prefer. Sorry I cannot help you more, because I never flash beta roms on my phone. I am using it too much...

MIUI has now been cut from development.
AOKP dev has paused development for a week or two due to other commitments, so it's a bit behind the other two, but will be back soon.
I personally prefer BCM over Sanvold's/ Nickez's release.
I also prefer BCM over others but there is one big problem for me that in some games like Angry Birds or Temple Run sometimes touch doesn't reacting, just hardware buttons.

Hi everybody!
I'd like to know which is the best ICS Rom for our HTC Desire...
At the moment i'm running Cyanogen7.1 and everything is fine, but i'm tired of gingerbread and don't want to wait Cyanogen9 to be stable
So, in your opinion, Which is the best rom for everyday-use?
I know there are camera issues, but this doesn't matter to me
What i'm looking for is good stability, good script for application to ext, and good (fast) browsing experience!
Also have a question:
What kind of Hardware Acceleration are ICS Rom using? Is it native support with latest Adreno driver or other?

you can try ICS by sandvold or BCM both are in beta and close to stability.

IMHO:
It all depends how fed-up with gingerbread you are. There are currently no ICS roms for Desire that would match Gingerbread based ones in terms of speed and stability. That being said, BCM and Sandvold are at the stage where they can be used on a daily basis as long as you willing to accept that your phone might be unresponsive in critical situations.
AFAIK:
BCM is made from CM9 source soi if you come from CM7.1 this would be the smaller change in functionality (regarding mods). It's up to you whether it's a good thing or not.
Sandvold's rom is made from Evervolve source. (I'm not that familiar with that.)
I started ICS usage with Sandvolds rom a few months ago then I switched to BCM for the reasons mentioned above. These two roms' update rate is pretty muck head-to-head. Currently (AFAIK!) Sandvold's one has video recording and support for barcode scanner with higher instability while BCM only has photo capturing but more stable at that.
Both roms use Drewis kernel for HWA and not native drivers as when the drivers were made available most of the functionality they would provide were already ported by drewis and since he is more comfortable with his own source he keeps improving that.
Keep in mind that the official drivers for the chipset not for Desire in particular so official drivers wouldn't be answer for all HWA related problems. (I heard somewhere that HTC had a wierd way of implementing camera, but that might not be true.)
There's a new thread called COS-Bravo ICS by roalex. Haven't tried it yet but it seems very active recent days.
The project of Sense 3.6/4.0 porting looks very delicious, too.

Stock sense 2.1 or 3.5. If you don't like sense then WildChild 3.3 is best. It has amazing performance too.

i have tried wildchild 3.3 its well but i had keyboard problem. when i touch any writeable screen, not opening keyboard, tried to flash stock keyboard same problem existed again. i'm turnin back to stock again..
This one looks promising: Marvellous CM10
However I don't know if it is overclock-able. I'm always weary of overclocking phones as they don't have that much heat dissipation to work with.
