Hey everyone,
I'm an X G2x user, and over there in "G2x" land I rooted my phone first.
Then I flashed Clockwork recovery on it
THEN I had a smorgishboard selection of "Roms" to put on my phone.
Here's where i'm confused with the Galaxy S 2, and Terminology really..
What "do we have" here with the SGS2 so far?
Just rooting it? I see over on the dev section people talking about all these kernels... what is that? are they like Roms? Has anyone mad a rom? can we flash it like clockwork mod recovery?
Just a little confused with the differences in terminology and procedures over here on the samsung side.. thanks
No custom roms yet, no CWM either. Just kernels and root....the kernel is a bridge between applications and hardware basically. Terminology shouldn't be that much different really.

Kernels are the base interface between OS and hardware and part of a rom
Has anyone mad a rom? no can we flash it like clockwork mod recovery? no
Far to early for all that SGS2 been out a week + devs in many cases do not yet have SGS2 ( donate one to them ) .
Devs are not getting paid for all this work so as and when they find time and the money to buy SGS2 .
SGS2 is being worked on and no doubt more in the future .

Bear in mind things don't always get posted as soon as they're done. I don't like releasing things that I can't test, so I've got some stuff for as soon as mine actually turns up...
The stock issues have slowed things down a LOT.

You can use Odin to flash newer ROMs and to root the device...it's pretty easy.

They're just different, CWM just doesn't need a PC to flash the FW...that's all.

Is it possible to get android 2.0 on your HTC Hero on the Sprint Network. If so, could you give instructions on how I'm not all that technically advanced, any help would be much appreciated.

there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.
The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.
HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593015
This is the 2.1 Beta. But yeah just like wtphoto said. Give it some time before it gets fully furnished for day to day use.
Only if you can't follow VERY simple instructions

click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.
PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones
as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.
as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.
*edit*
Sorry wrong thread
hey yall, am i the only one who finds myself checking in the development section and searching twitter for a new froyo rom for the Vibrant? lol Someone has a Rom working and you have to do the adb method and all this and it has a few errors. This phone seems like a power house. A5ren't yall ready for some Clockworks flashable roms? I wish Paul's Modaco custom rom for the galaxy S 19000 was compatible with this
Yeah I'm too checking the forums daily but it is what it is. I was on a cliq XT with 1.5 so i'm still happy at 2.1. I've just reached the point that I'm admitting I had Motorola couple weeks ago i would have never said that.
Either way September is when 2.2 is due so its just a matter of time.

Kernels are now flashable, wes has updated & chimed in with more progress of the CM build, most of the devs are working with each other to get at least 1ROM running. What more do you want? Oh CM dropped, flash, cool.... now what? Learn??? Develop?
Appreciate the fact that every single galaxy S developer is trying to make this possible for the galaxy S community.

Hey ,,
can someone root Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 6 android roms to A101??
Is it possible??
For the thousandth time:
No, there is no Cyanogen Mod on Gen8
We have only one Rom: Urukdroid, but this one is goood Try it.
Why you want exactly Cyanogen?
Why you want exactly Cyanogen?
Because It supports Arabic and other languages
but Uruku not support them
Aahh, thats the problem
ask sauron whether he can add this feature
Otherwise you have to live with english
until we get a custom recovery
hmmm
Ok then we must wait for that
If Cotulla is here he can do it easily
@saprano614:
Why do people thing that CM7 needs a recovery?
THERE IS NO NEED FOR A RECOVERY ON GEN8.
If you get someone to compile the CM7 with all the specifics for the gen8 ( f.ex. display via usb ) and some other things it is easily done, as $auron has allready proven with UrukDroid.
So please all stop wining about a recovery.
Moved to proper forum.

Thanks for enlighting us/me
I want to learn about android developement (at the moment i test solune's Urukconfig),
could you tell me: what is an recovery? (I dont think its a recovery what recovery you data/apps/media like on a pc.)
"The Recovery" is kind of an extended bootmenu for the devices where you can flash new ROMs or make a backup so that you can get back to where you are.
Normally it also comes with alot of custom scripts for root, displaydensity,cleaning caches, memhacks etc.
This is needed on other devices because they don't habe a SDE.

Okey, but if thats true i've another question:
Why nobody test some Roms from other Tablets/Phones on our Gen8?
It's true we have SDE that let us use UrukuDroid !!
That mean we can have other versions of roms like Cyanogenmod 7 or 6
Why nobody test some Roms from other Tablets/Phones on our Gen8?
this is good question ,,
why we don't try other roms like HTC HD2 !! It uses many many roms !!

@cajl:
That's not true.
CM7 is just one of many kernels done on the google basiscode.
If you could get the display to work and get the drivers of the other stuff in there it is just the work to get the initramfs to do the wireing of the partitions.
So if some of the cracks from the cm team would start with a "port" they would probably be ready before the end of the week.
I know, why don't one of you send the Cyanogenmod guys your Archos so they can get it done? lol

cm7 is not ''just'' a kernel and we have no indication how long it will take the cm7 for sgs is in the making for month and they have some great devs
it could be easy but to be honest i would bet money that we will never have a stable cm release

You are partially right, but the kernel part is the harder one to port, if that is done ....
But you are right with timing.
Even on my milestone it took them so long and roms like froyomod are alot more stable.

On the epic 4g touch forums, I got a new phone not long ago. I've been doing a little development on there, haven't posted anything yet (been developing for myself for now, to practice.) Maybe I will stop through here n try my hand at rom building, I have a rom I want to try to make. I haven't been using my tab as much since I got this phone (its got a 4.5 in. screen!!!) And since I broke the glass on my Iconia. Still works fine, but lately I've just been using my Iconia for Netflix while I use my phone. I want to do something a little extreme, namely get touchwiz running on the Iconia (not a port of the whole rom, just tw)

Not a n00b question, but it has already been answered in the OP in bright red letters.

Hi All
I am a noob lol
I have a Acer_A500_7.066.01_com_Gen (not rooted)Running on 3.2 only got download for this a few days ago.
Is the UK going to get ics? Or is there a way to download it my self?
If so could some one give me a step-by-step guide as I am a noob.

[/COLOR]There are a 2 (maybe 3) ICS Roms currently available.
1. Look in the DEV sub forum for the leaked ICS rom. This is pretty close to what the official ACER rom will look like when it finally comes out.
2. There is a dev here called Protekk. (he is the maybe above) no real info on his stuff, but search here about it.
3. There is a fully working (minus camera) ICS ROM that is very well received by a dev who does not post his work here. Search for "Tegra Owners Forum" via google to find his link. He is also the dev that got CWM working for the Acer.
For any of the above, you will need to Root your device. There are lots for threads on that in these forums.
Enjoy.
as of right now there is no release of ics for our acers.
if you are refering to the "leak " scene on another thread, it is being used by the great, hard working devs to make us our ics. saying that if you are stating that you are a noob, than i really suggest you dot screw arround with what has been "leaked" or you will probably regret it as people are having some problems trying to flash this rom.
there is an ics rom out there with some minor bugs but you will have to search for that yourself
i would just wait and there will be some stable roms out soon
hope that helps

yup... im gonna wait for a good rom ( moscow i hope you listening lmao ) good things will come to people that are patient
I so agree with Dr .. this acer ics leak is a Dev alpha build its missing a apps and components from the ICS That acer will release..It is also very likely that you will have to flash back to 3.2.1 to update to the acer ics rom when they push it OTA. as this rom has a new boot loader that seems to be Completely different
Big warning.. if you flash this . YOU MUST GET YOUR UID SAVE AND SOUND FIRST.. AS THIS NEW BOOT LOADER IS SUSPECTED TO BE CHANGING IT. This will prevent you from reverting back..
as far as the other rom mentioned above well only thing i will say . Read more about it before you flash. IT However is safe as far as the ability to return to Stock.
good luck If you are not comfortable flashing your tablet i suggest to wait or do much more reading. Asking for a step by step without basic knowledge is Dangerous..
Good Luck..
Erica
Thanks for your advice.
Think I will just sit back and chill until Acer release ICS for us all,but the sooner the better.

You are correct to say that Thors rom seems to work well. But the op clearly (not meant to be disrespectful to OP) does not have the knowledge to do the downgrade to root procedure . Nor do i believe he wants to Do so.I think just finding and following a walk thru without atlest some knowledge is dangerous. But If he decides to and wants to try a Stock ics . Thor's ics is likely the safest way to go..
I just believe myself that if someone has to ask they should read more. And not become flash happy. Even following a tutorial can go wrong.. ALSO KNOW how to get out of trouble up front.Just in case something goes wrong.
There is no right answer. its about comfort level of the Person.
Asking questions before hand isn't a bad thing. It also doesn't show they don't know what they are doing. I ask questions, but I have a general feel for what I'm doing.
