hi all, first of all i know this is a question and im posting it here and its the wrong place. It will soon be moved by a moderator. I get no replys in the i9000 Q&A or i9000 general so im asking here .
Ok so all my time at xda, i have been in the theming department and now this is my first go at developing. but before that, i have some really noob questions to ask. All i want to try is to port awsome roms onto galaxy.
1) first of all, if there is a rom for an another phone and you flash it, it doesnt boot up because our kernel for i9000 doesnt know how, am i right?
2) if so, can we make a custom kernel that knows how to boot stock froyo (nexus one) roms?
3)is it possible to change the entire system of our galaxy and make it stock so it is easier to port roms?
4) can i use a another rom (for i9000) as a base and then modify it to make my own rom. Basically use an another rom as a base?
And any other bits of information about roms is appreciated
COnsidering that cyagenmod stuff are straggeling to port it to galaxy s, with their very considerate experience and skills - I dont think you should touch it =)
but can i at least get answers to my questions
Thanks

2) i think the Problem ist the Recovery and that stuff we must change the whole system of this f******* "Samsung made" Android and i thin its to difficult..
3) Same at 2)
Maybe i could answers a bit of your question?
I want to try to make an AOSP clone for Galaxy S (just like gaosp is for spica users) that uses as less from samsung as possible. But that's a long journey, and I'm low on free time recently. From AOSP getting to cyanogen would be easy, although getting to cyanogen from non-aosp might still be easier. And there is also the possibility that the "Nexus Two" will be very stock-like with a hardware similar to our SGS, that would hopefully make porting current and later AOSP based roms and ports much easier. Until we find that out I don't think it's worth the investment in re-creating everything from scratch.
Eugene made a aosp clone but it still used twframework although everything was stock. The nptification pulldown didnt even have those tabs for wifi and stuff but when i was about to start theming it, it still had twframework-res in the framework foldrr, is the galaxy s touchwiz dependent?

I'm looking to use boot manager and I know it needs to be a 2nd init rom not based off blur. I was considering the Justice ROM by the liberty team. I'm currently on Liberty 3 v2.0 and am happy with that but I really want to do want boot manager.
My concern with Justice is that it appears to be an old build and I haven't seen any updates to it. Other than CM7 are there any other current roms that would work?
Check over at the DX dev forum on rootzwiki. There are a handful of versions of miui and cm that you could use. It also seems to be the most up to date and active dev forum for this phone
I have a modded stock TW and CM11 on multi-boot and would like suggestions of any really different and interesting additional ROMs to set up under multiboot.
The TW is my daily, and the CM11 is pretty good also, so the other one(s) could have some functions not working if they are unique and worth trying.
Thread closed as its basically a best ROM thread.
Why don't you go into the development forums, open some threads then download the ROM or ROM's you are interested in and try them?
So, @neXus PRIME wants to make a locked bootloader-compatible ROM, aside from his wonderful AOSPA port. Now it's your choice, so choose the ROM you want carefully.
Huh one choice...
But one is not enough .-.
I know, but my hard disk space is not enough.
I have currently PA and aokp sources.
I am planning to replace aokp sources with the one you guys pick here. I can do a third too but then i will have to delete ccache space... But that is not good.
I'd like to see MIUI get updated to the latest version and see how that runs on our device because the MIUI interface itself looks pretty slick, and if possible a port of multirom would be a nice thing as well (if possible: don't know if our device is using fstab or rc)

I agree too
Like Paranoid Nexus, there is the chance of chosen rom to work with unlocked bootloader?
I can choice easier if I know which rom has what kind of features.
Actually MIUI seems like a good idea, plus it's a bit different when compared to the AOSP bunch.
Yeah MIUI would be cool, but if not i would love to see carbon or pacman on LBL.
@neXus PRIME
i appreciate your hard work buddy
instead of which rom you compile,i think we need advanced custom kernel like doomkernel...i'm currently using pacman 4.4.4 and none of cutom kernel present on forum does'nt works
Can we have avatar rom!
Avatar, Chameleon, AOSBam, Sonic.....wtf.... so many kangerzzz
But why is PURE AOSP winning out???
Don't know why but vanir being a ubl ROM is really fast and smooth, is it in the ROM or the optimisations by the dev??
In the feature code, ahe has mentioned many compiler optimisations, isbit because of them or the ROM????
I would have said Slimkat if bagyusz doesn't update it, but as of now i don't know if he will.
An update to the latest MIUI would be lovely, locked or unlocked BL is a matter of secondary importance for me
Apart from that Carbon, Vanir and PACman on a stock/stock-based kernel would also be nice

I think that some peoples want to have the android L version. Also they choosed Pure AOSP. This day, Google push the sdk of the android l version.
For android kitkat based, you can do MIUI Rom or if you want an AOSP, you can choose the AOKP.
The problem with android L is we'd have to check the LBL kernel modules we have work on it otherwise its another big job to update (if its even possible).
No L possible. End of story. Just vote the available choices
Well, when I was adding AOSP to the poll I didn't even think of Android L. Maybe I should have written it more precisely.
And yeah, there is a lot of work to do to make L work on LBL. The first thing that's coming to my head are Adreno drivers from 4.3(we are using them in KitKat, so it's not clean and fully working by any means). The second thing is power saving mode in L: we don't know if that's a kernel or OS feature... And there are many things that may result in a complete incompatibility between our kernel and Android L, and changing ramdisks won't help in that case.
Aren't the sources for L coming out in September? Why even talk about it now, wait till the Cyanogen team start to push the first nightlies, then we can put Android 5.0 in the conversation
I recently rooted my phone. I wanted to install a custom rom. My friend installed cleankat v2.6 but i wanted to go for something better. As expected none of the nicer ones like cyanogenmod or paranoid android or aokp roms were available. I managed to install htc sense rom . it is working but has lots of bugs. As soon as i make a call it crashes and screen goes blank. Nothing opens .it doesnt even swit h off and i have to remove the battery every time i make a call and reboot it.
Secondly many apps including settings crash for no reason.
Plz. Help coz i really want dat rom working fine

Hi Murali,
The nature of mobile development is such as you have mentioned above. It doesn't work like windows or linux etc where you can install a generic OS on any system configuration by any manufacturer. The firmware has to be specifically built for your device. It takes great skill to port inter-device especially inter-manufacturer ROMs, so the fact that you actually have a bootable and semi functional SENSE ROM for a non HTC device itself is a big achievement. But it will never function on your Micromax phone like it does on an actual HTC phone. There are too many dependencies to counter. Also, there is a lot of closed source code that is not freely available to developers, especially with overlays like Sense and TouchWiz.
I would suggest you look for a good Custom ROM built on your phone's official firmware or wait for support from CyanogenMod, PA, Slim or such series to offer support to your device.
Sorry for the bad news, but I hope it helps.
what ab
Will flashing a custom kernel help or change the compatibility of the rom?

It might. Then again, it might not. Changing kernels can make a huge difference in performance, both in a good and a bad way. There are too many variables to contend with, and without a strong active community behind your device, any answer I give you will be just guesswork and not based on facts. You can always try out a couple of compatible kernels and test out the difference.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
