This is a port of Gingerbread AOSP to the PD novel (White, USA). It is a very early alpha quality ROM and more of a proof of concept at this point in time. The base ROM that I used for this work is the 11/19 WPDN ROM.
Things known to work:
1) Audio
2) WIFI - (signal strength, password retention all work)
3) SD card mounting/unmounting - Only the external SD card is mounted.
4) Sleep works (uses the same hack that I used for the Froyo ROM to prevent hangs). Expect
to see a huge battery drain.
NOT WORKING:
1) Boot time animation is not working. So you will see a black screen. The first boot will
stay black for around 5 minutes. This is due to quirky graphics driver.
2) Graphics is very quirky due to more requirements from Gingerbread and our broken
graphics drivers. Expect to see some white patches every now and then on the screen.
3) Gingerbread keyboard shows up as cramped in the bottom, unusable. Hence, using
an alternate keyboard instead in this ROM.
4) Orientation sensor is not readable. May or may not work in future, as the binary module
that we have does not seem to be compatible with Gingerbread sensor API. So, no
rotation at this time.
5) Display brightness controls do not work yet.
6) Soft buttons are not implemented yet.
WORKAROUNDS:
1) Due to quirky graphics, you may see white patches on the screen every now and then.
Using a screen refresh by pulling down the status bar when possible, seems to get the screen
back in shape.
2) Youtube works when using m.youtube.com, but turn off HQ mode.
3) If you need root, use following commands.
adb remount
adb shell chmod 6777 /system/bin/su
All programs requiring root should just work after that. Need to figure out a way to automate this in a future ROM.
I have not tried google apps or market on this yet. If someone wants to help out, that would be great. Also kindly note that logcat will spew a lot of verbose messages.
Enjoy and kindly drop a line with your feedback if you end up using this ROM.
Thanks.
