Hi to all our dear developers,
I have started this thread to ask who all are working on development of Ice Cream Sandwich ROM for ZTE Blade?
In case you need any support in testing the ROM, I would be more than happy to volunteer.
Best,
Yatin

the honeycomb sdk was compiled for arm v6, the ics sdk was compiled for arm v7. zte blades only have an arm v6 processor.
so, we need the source code so that it can be recompiled for our arm v6 phones. There's a little bit more to it than that, so don't expect ics for the blade on the same day as the source code is released, but we need the source code before we can start work on a blade version.
hopefully we'll get a working port of cm9 (which will be based on ics).

once he's worked it out the source code for cm9 will be available, then you can use that.
using the aosp source code, once you have it booting there are still other problems to fix, like the touch screen, audio & ril.
everyone involved with cyanogenmod should be very busy fixing those problems, so it's best to leave them to it if you can't help them. they don't need to be bothered with questions.

As this phone has a working ICS port you should know that Qualcomm recently released Adreno 2xx drivers for Ice Cream Sandwich. But unfortunately the drivers released were compiled only for armv7 not armv6.
So all armv6 devices with ICS ported are having an unofficial ICS port with a hack to provide hardware acceleration.
This means our phones will never have 100% hardware acceleration in ICS and also not get OFFICIAL CM9 support as they dont allow use of any hacks or patches in their ROMS.
The ICS port on OptimusP500(which i use) is almost bugfree and we were left from getting the official support from cm9 due to this very reason.
sweetnsour has made this groubal, a petition for the Qualcomm guys to look into and thus compile the drivers from ARMv6
THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHANCE TO BREATH NEW LIFE INTO OUR ONCE AWESOME DEVICES.
I hope you guys will sign this groubal showing your support. Your one signature will definitely help us to show Qualcomm that there are many many users still using Armv6 devices..

I found this tread that makes an install of Linux on every mobilephone, could this be usefull?? I am not a developer but I think this thing belongs to Development, if not I am sorry and ask mods to move this.
So what you want to do is install webtop as a linux OS on the atrix?
I think its not posible...but maybe Im wrong
from the (m)ATRIX...

This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot',

As far as I know, this is already available for the Atrix's webtop since forever ago, through debian chroot (and possibly webtop2sd).

Since this is a project working on also other devices w/o webtop functionality, maybe it could help in having webtop in cyanogenmod and other custom ROM builted from sources!

I know, but I posted the link here so that maybe some devs could possibly integrate it into a ROM so that when you connect the phone to tv/dock it boots automatically into linux distro!
It doesn't work like that. You have to actually start the hardware side of things on the tegra2 chip, it has nothing to do with the chroot linux distro, which is very old news (and all the devs know about it). What you essentially have to do is code the x session to send itself over the seperate hdmi output frame buffer, which also has to be triggered and deactivated properly.
No developer has been interested in really trying it. Jokersax was working on it at one point in CM9, but scrapped it due to upstream changes that broke his code.
This doesn't really belong in this section, and I've given you the actual reason why there's more to this than you think. Also, as I said, everyone knows about running linux on android in this fashion, as it's a very old project at this point.
Yup, chroot methods won't help a bit
I believe that webtop on cm is something that Samcripp is still trying to make work...

The gingerbread webtop is a hack by Motorola. Even tho is a linux distribution its tightly woven into android libraries. This libraries without source can't be added into cm7.
Cm9 is different. Ics is capable of switching to tablet mode. Offering a better option than just plain locked down linux. We shall see.

That's the Atrix 2 (OMAP), and that's Ubuntu for Android rather than Ubuntu Phone OS.
Ubuntu for Android, as I understand it, is basically the Webtop that we've already had for some time now and uses the kernel already on the device, whereas Ubuntu Phone OS is a complete replacement for Android, but the details themselves are a bit sketchy, like what display server they're using, what kernel is supported. Wouldn't it be both ironic and disappointing if it required an ICS/JB kernel, especially since we still have a Froyo/GB kernel.

Yeah, he identifies the device about 10 seconds or so in, but admittedly if he didn't the only other way to identify it would be process of elimination, looking at the logo's and figuring it out that way.
Guys, there's a post of saiftheboss7 that he mention that he made a request to Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's Guru. You can upvote that request so that the Ubuntu Kahuna sees that us Atrix users want the Ubuntu OS for our beloved A4G. I can't post links right now, too noob for the forum, but you can check it out in this section.
Upvote my friends, upvote and we can have a better functional phone!!!!!:good:

please don't force the devs to support our phone. just let the image release si the devs can see the source code and the system. After that we can ask to import the os to the atrix if it's possible.

I don't think this will be fully working without an ICS Kernel.
I think an effort like this worths a try, since we can aways update the userspace ubuntu packages, keeping the old kernel. I don't see why the old gingerbread kernel wouldn't work.

No. Read following for explanation.
dhiru1602 said:
Blobs are userspace components which correspond to the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). It is this layer which is responsible for communication between the kernel and the operating system. GPU kernel driver is opensource, but the GPU HAL is closed source. This is the case with all the devices, but on our device, much more components of the HAL are closed source like FIMC, FIMG, HWJPEG, TVOUT. Samsung doesn't release the source code for this components because it doesn't necessarily have to. Without the source code, we are forced to use the compiled binary which may or may not work properly. Since we are left without options, we often mess around with the Android framework, making dirty hacks to get them to work. We will not be able to futureproof our device with newer versions of Android unless we have the source code since making edits on compiled binaries is not possible and hence we have to wait for official releases so that we could get newer binaries (blobs). Here is the list of all the blobs that we use on our device. Having proprietary code is not uncommon, but Samsung doesn't release the source code for essential parts of the OS like Graphics subsystem, OMX and DSP, which makes things more complex provided there is no documentation for the SOC, nor they are wiling to help developers.
