I did not look at the files yet, but can you please elaborate more
about the motivation/purpose of the patches?
From what my experience with android-x86 ICS over VBOX the Graphics
and Ethernet are working fine - and the Screen timeout has not been
fixed (I haven't been able to fix that yet - it's not related to the
Screen Lock itself (KeyGuard something, dont' recall at the moment) -
neither is it related to the wake lock (I made PM aquire the lock, but
somehow once VBOX focus is lost - the problems return.
What do you need the "battery poll" feature for? Is there any
"operational need" from your side? just being curious.
Fixing the "Hanging UI" would be, in my opinion, the best enhancment
to the current VBOX part, along with
enabling virtual terminal switching (ctrl+F1 / ctrl+F7) which no
longer works on ICS.
I would be glad to participate/discuss/contribute further, but I
haven't dealt with it for a couple of weeks.

I apologize for being lazy about the syntaxes - I'm just shooting off
my head. Haven't worked on it for a while (business before pleasure...
:( )
Not sure drivers for vmware are compiled in my iso. I'll check that.
Dan.
I am actually asking because I used to build for "generic_x86" - and
try to make it work on some core-i 7desktop at the time of 4.01 - and
VBOX worked well for me, but ever since the 4.03 upgrade
-"generic_x86" kernel panics, whereas the ASUS configuration for
examlpe works well with VBOX.
I also saw your discussion about VMWare etc. - Are you guys talking
about a Hosted VMWare (That is linux host running VmWare running
Android-x86), or also about VMWare on a barebone HW?
Kind of a long shot, but does anyone here have any experience ramping
up those targets on a XEN ?
BTW,
I tested your iso and it's awesome for the moment. Kudos for the good
work, and the clear instructions (also on the other groups. I
appreciate your work!)
Ron.
Thanks,
Ron
Let me further clarify:
I am running my android-x86 target with google apps.
When I try to sign in to my account, the WifiPickerActivity is
selected. However, since my device has no WIFI, nor 3G, even when the
ethernet patch is working,
and internet works well (with "No Internet connection" on the status
bar) - I have no way to tell the initial setup screen, or any of the
google apps to
that a network connection is on, and that there is no really need in
such a thing.
I tried to advance the WifiStateMachine directly to the state where IP
is assigned, but that trick fails in the way.
I would be satisfied in somehow telling the Framework that the
ethernet is a 3G connection, as I believe the android emulator does in
AOSP, or any other idea that would
solve the connectivity issue - in terms of google apps/sign
in/whatever (I am not familiar enough with other applications that
need this kind of stuff, as the browser
works well with it).
Any idea to work around that?
Thanks,
Ron

I combined the two patch sets of the android-x86 and the AOSP ethernet
patch you referred to earlier.
I can submit a combined patch if anyone is interested (still waiting
for some feedback whether this is acceptable, as "git format-patch"
would take away the credit
from those I used their patches ).
Everything is working great, on some false ethernet disconnection
detection on the UI bar, which is just a decoration IMHO.
Thanks,
Ron

I would be glad to do that.
Can you recommend me of an easy to use, free file storage website I can use?
As for the reviewed patch - I was talking about adding a patch immediately applicable to ics-x86, for those who want to explore, and not merge manually.
