Gingerbread to my Ideos S7 development

yes you need 64bit for compiling gingerbread, and the nexus one has the exact same hardware as our tablets so that would be the best place to start looking, http://github.com/androidtablets has the source codes pulled already, for kernel as well as cyanogenmod

i'm not sure if the bootable vmsplit 3g kernel is there or if its the unmodified kernel.

I'll try to get a 64bit pc, and I will compile kernel. I will need some help for understand linux code.

I read there's a couple of patches that allow you to build GB on 32-bit systems. Probably works just fine, even though I haven't tried it myself. You might not need a new system...

thanks xaueious, i'll look into it, thanks for the tip

I will follow this guide: [HOW-TO] Compile AOSP Gingerbread + [ROM] Master AOSP - xda-developers

This is for Nexus One.

Although I'm also new to Android, I have some Linux knowledge, so maybe I can help a little...

If Android follow the Linux way - and I suspect not, all the hardware is recognized/activated by the kernel, so if the Nexus One has _exactly_ the sane hardware, then its kernel should also work with our S7 without modifications?

If so, one could extract the kernel from the Nexus One 2.3 rom, and put it on the boot image of the S7?

any advancement? how do i become a tester of 2.3? how "usable" is it right now?

I'm reading that we need the "vendor file", I don´t know what is it or where can we get it from 2.2.2...

Can you explain more? Where did you read it?

If I need to get one, then I'll do that, but I'm just wondering if I just have to make a few modifications here to make this process work for the DInc.

Thanks!

It should work, as long you have the correct vendor files for the Incredible

When you say "vendor files", you mean market files, right? Sorry, new to this, I'm going to have a lot of questions initially I'm sure... lol.

No, what I mean is the proprietary files on your phone. I'm pretty sure you get a list of the files from Cyanogen's github

try to download his incredible folder inside vendor.

I've read the posts, but still confused what exactly are the "vendor files"?
To me it seems they are the drivers needed for the wi-fi, gps, sensors, etc...?
These drivers should be compiled when compiling the kernel.
That is as far I could go!

May be, this guide is for Nexus One, and N1 have the same hardware than S7...

Vendor files are drivers made by the hardware manufacturer and most are protected or not open-sourced
those are the most difficult files get working ..no source code

And what do you think, will you get them?

I was thinking about developing ROM based on SE X10- S7 and X10 have same SoC so it should work. Any volunteers to help?
