Do you guys have a Nexus 5? I recommend using the Nexus 5 for KK standup. If you don't have any, I can bring some to the office when I visit later this month.

Also, for future reference, please do not file bugs ahead of having a patch on future updates.

Hi! Michael,

We don't have Nexus 5.
If you can bring some that would be great. Thanks.

There is a manifest for gonk-kk under my github, but display will not work properly before bug 946244 and bug 946245 got fixed. 

$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G 
$ cd B2G
$ GITREPO=git://github.com/Seinlin/b2g-manifest BRANCH=b2g-4.4 ./config.sh nexus-4

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

Hi Solomon, could you help me have a look to these bug which block the display? Thank you!

Comment 9

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

There are some patches under "patches/all-mako", each of them should be removed when related bug got fixed.

WIP:

Just modified FramebufferSurface.cpp and GonkDisplayJB.cpp. Compiling passed, and the screen seems has been kickstarted. However the b2g server crashes. Please see my attachment: 0001-Modify-FramebufferSurafce.cpp-compiling-passed.patch

Isn't this bug a meta bug, it it? If it is, the actual patch need to be handled in a concrete bug under this bug.

FYI, the following link has 2 diagrams related to Kitkat around graphics.

Yes, this is a meta bug for Kitkat and will discuss with Solomon to move discussion into Bug 946245.
Thanks.

[Solomon Chiu [:schiu]]

Thanks Sotaro, will move to 945623 for relative work.

Comment 16

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

Patches on bug 946245 is merged into "patches/all-mako". Now the it can boot into homescreen properly.

Comment 17

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

manifest is updated to 4.4.2_r1, gecko/gaia are forked to github and related patches are applied. 
But most patches are applied to pass the compile error only, need to get them fixed, see gecko git log for detail.
Please follow comment 7 and config again to checkout the latest code.

Comment 18

[Kai-Zhen Li [:seinlin][:kli]]

Maintain manifest for 4.4.2_r1 in a different branch "b2g-4.4.2". Branch for 4.4_r1.2 on my github will be Obsoleted soon. Please reconfig with BRANCH=b2g-4.4.2 to get the latest source tree.

$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G
$ cd B2G
$ BRANCH=b2g-4.4.2 GITREPO=git://github.com/Seinlin/b2g-manifest ./config.sh nexus-4

Bug 910498 - nsVolumeService::GetVolumeByPath() failed on nexus 4.
This will effect the video recording on fuse storage.

Comment 20

[Marco Chen [:mchen]]

Bug 919590 - H.264 video playback stop on nexus4 soon after starting playback
This will effect the video playback if user pauses then play it.

Comment 21

[Marco Chen [:mchen]]

Bug 961627 - [Gonk-KK] The Thumbnail of Videos Decoded by OMXCodec Can't be Extracted but Can be Playable.
This will effect the video app to show video list.

[Wesley Huang [:wesley_huang] (EPM) (NI me)]

Hi Thomas,
Can we assign this bug to you or someone?
I know this is a metabug, but this is a high priority set for 1.4.
We'll also need ETA (target before 2/28) too.
Thanks.

Comment 23

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Clearing blocking flag - per a drivers' decision, QC needs to nominate individual actionable dependencies, not meta bugs, to be FC & QC blockers.

Comment 24

[Sotaro Ikeda [:sotaro]]

Why is it set again to 1.4+? It is already cleared once by Comment 23.

Comment 25

[Preeti Raghunath(:Preeti)]

This is a meta bug and doesn't need to 1.4+ although we are tracking this for 1.4 QC CS.

Comment 26

[thomas tsai]

It has been done so close it.
