you need a linux based OS to continue.

extract the file

and on linux (ubuntu as an example) extract file that came out since it cant be read on windows

a folder with a kernel. sin and an update zip will appear

boot into windows---->flashtool bundle create the kernel.sin

flash it

on xrecovery, install the update zip thing

reboot.

on my comp using winrar paid

it can extract the first layer, but it does not recognize the tar file that was extracted. so maybe 7 zip
a free program is better ...damn
sorry then, screw the linux part
since DoomLord is probably right

edit post

for some reason, the extracted content was a tar_2 file ??????
so winrar did not recognize it

just changed the extension to a regular tar file and extracted. and worked fine.

sorry load of questions coming out here... :confused:

This is a dev thread. Do not install this release unless you know what you're doing. Do not post if you have nothing to contribute.

This is very early build, we're behind other qsd8k devices but will eventually catch up :)

Big thanks to all qsd8k developers working on this (N1, Desire, HD2, X10).


[KERNEL]
- ol' good 2.6.29-SEMC
- fixed touchscreen driver (now backward-compatibile with Gingerbread)

Click to collapse

what changes have you done to the touchscreen driver? What do you mean by backward compatible with gingerbread ? Our GB touchscreen already works, whats the point in it being 'backwards' compatible?

[ROM]
- partially based on drewis release (thanks!) - currently I don't have access to PC that could handle compilation of the whole thing :)
If someone could compile clean es209ra build and upload it would be awesome.

[WORKING]
- it boots :rolleyes:
- radio, calls, txt (sms)
- audio partially working (in-call is fine, playing mp3/ringtones leads to WLOD)
- bluetooth, GPS seem to work
- wifi almost working ("can't find wlan0 device")
- mobile data (it gets IP but disconects afterwards, needs investiagtion)

[NOT WORKING]
- most of the stuff does not work
- quite unstable

[SOURCES]
Will upload all of the useful code/fixes here.
- ICS + GB compatibile touch driver: es209ra_touch_mt.c
- compatibile ramdisk (props FXP): http://www.mediafire.com/?1n51pn1upwv79ur
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

The file name is "es209ra_touch_mt.c" What changes have you done ? -Refer to previous question, but also I see its called "MT". Is it true mt, or have the capacity to support Dual touch without cross axis confusion. Anyone installed this and report back? Because if i works, then this should be included in another kernel for gingerbread.

Furthermore, what sources is this based on? ASOP or CM9? Because in Jerperlea's Bug tracker he states:

Code: 
[ALL]
   - no release this week we all work on cm9
}}

So he is working on ICS too? but he is working on CM9, and I dont know what this is based on... Or are you working together to make ICS work all together ?

and as I said before, but no one replied, does a new kernel for [e.g. 3.x or 2.6.3x] have to be ported? or is the 'good-old 2.6.29-SEMC suffice?

Hahahaha..

Let me answer some of them...

Changes to touchscreen driver:
Compare touchscreen driver from stock kernel source and the one posted by z... most changes involves compatibility with ICS...

Backwards compatible so that same source can be used for gb kernel...

X10 touchdcreen driver in kernel source is called that... It's the dual touch driver...

Good old 2.6.29 heavily patched :p

As for other stuff only Z himself can answer that...

    So for me doesn't even boot :D
    As i came from night shift i will try later on more... :D

    Here you are libhardware.so, libhardware_legacy.so & wpa_supplicant from my compiled ICS build so if someone can boot z rom maybe it could test this too :D

    p.s.
    it is searching ar6000.ko as normal stock one not wifi.ko as sdk port

    Click to collapse

    Hi Azuzu, I am able to compile single libs and binaries (libhw_legacy, supplicant), it's just dex and stuff causing problems (1GB of ram + 1.6GHz). As for libaudio, I will take a look soon :)

    Has anyone pulled this Kernel apart, i'm trying to lock down some of the touch screen info but I can't gunzip the ICS ramdisk...not even sure if i should be able to.

    I GPIO the main files out, can't see anything pertinent in there, so I can only assume its in this ramdisk...biggest problem is that if it is a corrupted archive I can't get ubuntu to open a recovery tool cos it's implementation of the Zlib system sucks dice
