What is the state of the 1.2 branch?

[Stefan Arentz]

What is the state of the 1.2 branch? I compiled and flashed it to my Unagi but it does not seem to work. The phone boots, i can see i logcat, and even processes input events, but the screen stays dark.

Is this temporary branch issues or is 1.2 a major work in progress at the moment?

Symptoms are as follows:

Unagi boots into a black screen. Does not wake up.
Keon boots but when trying to unlock the lock screen it hangs and eventually restarts the system app.

Unagi devices currently have an ICS Chocolate-based Gonk base system. We
are dropping support for that for 1.2. We are looking into ways to
update to at least ICS Strawberry, which continues to be supported.
Obviously that needs vendor support. We had to drop Chocolate because
the OpenGL stack is really broken and we are making WebGL and rendering
improvements that we can't support on Chocolate. If you have an Unagi
and you need a replacement, please talk to your manager. We have
alternatives we can hand out.

Will Inari work? I have been relying on my Inari for devel work.
(I keep the Keon for real world use)

Inari works on m-c/master, but you need the patch from *bug 904343* to
get past the lockscreen (it crashes otherwise).

Also, the camera viewfinder is still showing the green viewfinder from
*bug 880780*.

I haven't noticed any other issues, but YMMV.

It seems to work here too but I might be a few days behind on git.

Nope, the viewfinder is fine here :-) unlike on Keon.

I have been building it for a while, I just wanted to make sure it was
not about to fall into the unsupported pile like Unagi.

I synced to m-c/master yesterday, so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Are you building m-c/master or b2g18/v1-train?

m-c/master.

As far as I know, Buri has an issue with crashing with camera - video,
as does the keon and unagi. (
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902878 ; which may be a dup
of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=902927 )

Other than that I know that the keon and buri also seems to work with
1.2. I have to admit I haven't thoroughly tested on the keon. Buri
seems as stable as unagi.

Leo has issues due to :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=887486 which is believed to
be a driver issue, if I am not mistaken.

I thought Inari was on Chocolate as well?

I think Wasabi and Helix as well as Nexus 4 has been talked about
recently for 1.2, though Sotaro mentioned recently :

"It seems that since July/28th, b2g for nexus-4 build can succeed only when OpenJDK is used."

It was already fixed on next day of the mail.

Mike, you rock! Thank you so much! This is the hint I was looking for!

I see this patch has already landed. Just did a new build and things works again.

Sorry, it is still present. The pull request seems going on.
