[BETA] e2Revival Firmware

[arctu]

e2Revival: Back From Hell INCOMPLETE RELEASE
Refer to last post.

-------------------------------------------------------------
I have thought of this idea for quite a long time. Even thought of doing it myself but then, maybe it's better if it's community work.

e2Revival: Back From Hell
As the name suggests, the main aim of this project is to bring about the revival of E2. The firmware focused on simple core with many new applications that makes E2 a lot better. A team is needed as this firmware would be quite a big project. I want to use vanheumai's Only You V3 as base since it's fast for me, faster than V4.(but I'm open to suggestions)

Feel free to suggest new features but please bear in mind that I want this firmware to be fast and leaves customization to the user. (maybe we could make theme packs)

I can be a scripter if you want... But im not good enough... Hehe... I still learning about script shell and currently learn python...but i dont have any experience with C/C++...

I glad to see this thread, but i think there is a main problem here... We need more memory, especially when we want to use python in /bin... It needs alot of memory in CG43... Is squashfs can help?

[arctu]

Honestly, I haven't tested python yet on E2. So I don't know of it's memory consumption. I heard squashfs isn't as fast as cramfs right? (probably why onlyyouv4 is slower than v3)..

PM me your email or preferably msn so we can talk about python. Oh, any scripter would do, I wouldn't mind if you can't do c++.

[keaglez]

You can see my email at my profile page... Python need atleast 1,15mb to include it in /bin, and there is still the lib that need about 14,5mb... But we can put both optional in SD...

[Taurnil]

I've some experience programming @ C/C++, VB, and several other languages (I'm electronics engineer (: ).  I would like to work with you on this, I've a couple of good ideas to add there; but actually I don't have a PC where to work at.
At least I could help with my ideas  or being beta tester... see you on msn?

PS: we could contact lasly, he have been waiting for a developers team to be started 
PS2: Check out this folder This is the place from we got the python and perl binaries (well, really masiosare from M3 told me about the site, I told that to lasly, lasly to 3d, and so on...).

[arctu]

Alright, updated the first post.

@Taurnil
How come you don't have any PC to work with? In anycase, if you have experience in C/C++, you can help me sometimes with the language as I'm not a pro. (: Ideas are greatly welcomed, just post ideas here.

[sjj]

I can be a beta tester...

[error398]

nice to hear that.. i cannot give anything.. just be a tester

[pizzadox619]

i only can say Good Luck ppl

what about kernel editor


I think u will need Russian modders, Chinese modders, all modders who developed E2 so far. (from skin, pc software to firmware.)
Like ilove3d, DDSH, and many more.. sry i can't mention everyone

[darkangelx]

tester

[keaglez]

nice to hear that.. i cannot give anything.. just be a tester

No, you can also be a skin modder...

[arctu]

I'll be working on this fully once I had success in making SDL work properly in E2 or when I totally gave up on SDL. (:

Meanwhile, can any of you contact vanheumai and ask if he's interested?

[error398]

Vanhieumai should be interesting.. bcoz this project is so great stuff

[ojay]

I wish I could contribute more than just testing but I encourage you guys to make the E2 as useful and easy as it can get.

updated the first post to be "more" informative. i'll be starting to work on the programs soon.
