Gingerbread ported to another galaxy

Anyone smarter than me know if we can work off of this at all?

See, you just need to ask
Galaxy S with Nexus S kernel - Booting Nexus S Android Gingerbread
Videos are here:
http://www.youtube.com/supercurioxda
What's about this port:
- It uses the Nexus S kernel compiled from sources
- It runs the exact /system image release, we dumped yesterday. (I spent the night of it so it's still the same day!)
Am i French ?
Now you don't have any doubt anymore
Which filesystem ?
This early preview runs on Ext4. no RFS at all, the kernel don't support RFS.
Does everything work ?
Nope, but I must admit I didn't expect such a result.
Don't work: GPS / Voice / Wifi / some Buttons / camera
Work: everything else: like sound, GL acceleration etc
Will it work ?
I think most of it will work after countless hours spent on it.
Is it flashable with Odin ?
That's a good idea <Gregounech>, i think i'll do that tomorrow.
Do you work alone ?
I worked alone to produce this preview, but not to produce the dump yesterday.
Credits go the IRC channel #NSdev on freenode !
What about a team ?
That's the goal. Rendez-vous on IRC so we can produce ports and improve the quality very fast of this.
Is this opensource ?
Everything will be released after i get some sleep!
Edit: for inpatients, I pushed the latest initramfs : https://github.com/project-voodoo/nsonsgs-initramfs

Yea I read this too.. Hopefully fascinate gets a port

Not sure. Still more or less a noob dev. Not sure how difficult it its to adapt the gsm port for cdma. thoughts anyone?
Would definitely be interested in seeing this happen.

I have been obsessively following efforts at cyanogen forums and this forum... i am pretty on top of things, and i am NOT aware of any success taking kernels/roms/images from GSM and having them work on CDMA...damn right depressing

The problem is deeper than just kernel. There are fundamental issues as to why we're not already on 2.2...
I'd go into it, but this thread isn't about that. Plus, I am not a programmer, so I don't want to overstep my bounds.

It's significantly easier to port things on GSM versions of phones. We likely won't see it until at least Froyo is working on our devices, possibly later. This also shouldn't be in the Development forum...

I'd really like someone to help me understand (in noob terms) why porting is so hard for CDMA devices. Expect a thanks if you can explain it to me!

A thanks is what I am not after. It's that for anyone that has had this device since september this topic has been beaten to death.
Give this a read.
good day.

Well, thanks anyway. I haven't had the device since September.

I just wanted to remind anyone new to Fascinate Modding, that there is NO GINGERBREAD ROM for the SAMSUNG FASCINATE at this time.
So if you are itching to flash a ROM from a different phone. Please DO NOT BE MISLED by this thread and flash Gingerbread for a i9000.
You have a Galaxy S Variant, Not the Galaxy S phone.

[Q] Continuing MIUI without trip?

As im sure many of you know that trip left x10 to get a new device bc he got pissed. But his ROMs were amazing no doubt, but couldnt someone use his base and pick up where he left off? Yes im aware other devs have some miui ROMs, but im talking specifically trips base. Im sure plenty of people including myself have his latest download on their computer before he took them off.. just a suggestion and not trying to piss anyone off.

i can only see one thing...camera. all the rest could be developed by almost everyone

I don't see the point in developing from Trip's base.
The one advantage Trip had over the other MIUI devs was camcorder. Other than that, his and Rdanarr's are almost exactly the same. In fact, I find rdannar's ROM faster than Trip's GB rom was...
In about 2 months Camera/camcorder will come to the X10 thanks to SE, so that'll be fixed too.
In short, Trip's base not at all too different from all the other MIUI ROM's base

I tried miui for a week or so but ended up going back to J's cm7 Tom. Once cm7 is fully complete and stable it will be a great base for all other YB Tom's - especially because everything is built from source.

just to let you know, Trip;s miui was all from base too.
cm7 has along way to go to in order to be compared with trip's gingerbread rom.
there is no other gb rom as stable as trip's

I think everyone is waiting for MIUI and CM7. Can't seem to get here soon enough lol we seem to have some Devs looking into making the current MIUI version we have more "useable" hopefully they can get us a descent release where the basic features are stable enough to be use as a 'daily driver' if not, GB will be here shortly in a couple weeks n we'll get things rolling

Really? For me battery was great, but bad 3G and no 4G killed it for me. If I would have at least had ok 3G, I would keep it, but otherwise when I leave my house, I have no internet, which is not the case on stock (or close) Roms.

The MIUI we have has great features and all, but let's face it, it's not the most attractive looking rom.
I can't wait until we have the newest MIUI, I've used it on my old Evo and trust me it blows away the one we have now. You guys are going to be so happy once we have it.
I'd use it as my daily and never change it EVER if we had it.
Unless the sense port was finished, in that case I would use that. But otherwise new MIUI is great.

It's not until you use theme manager to download themes. You can customize boot animation, wallpaper, icons, ringtones, with one click. Also, if you don't like those, you can get newer ones online at miuithemes.com, but those may not use all their features on froyo.

I'm really feeling the excitement build in the Epic community and I think its great. Things have been much more positive around here lately as well. I can't wait to try out miui and cm7 after GB source comes out, and hopefully be able to help out finding bugs and testing.
A couple months ago I was ready to ditch this phone for just about anything (even considered downgrading to an EVO) but now I think I'll be happily running the Epic for a good while to come.
For anyone who is fed up waiting for the latest and greatest, try running SFR 1.2 (froyo) with clean kernel. I am very nit picky about my daily driver and this has been flawless. Performance is much better than stock, and everything works so well I just don't feel rushed to upgrade (phone or OS) like I used to.

Right now I'm using marcusants ACS Bamboozle, but will definitely switch when (maybe if) we get GB Miui.

I have also seen an improvement in our community. The useless flaming and bickering has been toned down to a minimum, if not, just completely stopped. Its great to finally be one big happy community like before. I can say SRF 1.2 is def my favaorite ROM and daily driver at the moment, but I'm definetly looking towards CM7 and MIUI. It'll still be a while to get some stable builds done even after source is released so I hope SRF 1.3 is dropped a bit before then so I can totally leave froyo with a bang! and according to qbking77 in the SRF 1.2 development thread, SRF 1.3 is still being worked on, as well as a possible new kernel thanks to their hard work, it'll be a lot easier to wait a bit longer for MIUI/CM7 lol

MIUI just looks like a Chinese iOS knockoff. :\

Since I'm also probably going to be waiting for the next Nexus (if I can resist the SGSII) I'm also looking forward to CM7 and MIUI. I've never used either before or any iteration, but the reports on them are always great.

I'm gonna go to CM7 and set everything up, make a Nandroid Backup, then go to MIUI and set everything up with a Nandroid Backup after, because those are gonna be the only 2 ROMs I'll use.

Do any of you know how to build a kernel? I've made files to test, but don't know how to compile. I combined some files from GS CM Kernel and Epic stock kernel. Just need to know how to make a zimage. I can post the files if you want to compile.

You might want to PM thomasskull666 or Rodderik for that. They're the "kernel gurus". Just make sure u know what your doing and dnt hard brick ur phone. I wish I could help more but so far I'm looking for an extra computer to load a linux only OS since I hate to dual boot. Also, I haven't read too much into compiling yet so no help there either :\ sorry

Need a Recommendation for a stable ICS rom for everyday use? Thanks

Also if you can spare a minute please state any noticeable differences of ICS roms ..is it worth it? ..im currently using americanandroid, cant fault it but i have been patiently waiting for ICS to develop before trialing please help me out..ps ii was unable to find any threads similar to this using search .

My favorite part of ICS is the soft keys, I love them. Also the task switcher is very handy.
I like the Ice Cream Tosti ROM. Lots of neat little tweaks that the CM9 build doesn't have yet.
If being able to make videos is important to you, don't switch to ICS yet.

At the moment ICS is quite stable, definitely useable for for every day. As moschino02 said, if video is important then there is no point as hardware acceleration is not fully available just yet, only a hack (not really sure how it all works tbh). A lot of the CM9 mods are also not working yet but give it time, the devs here are working very hard.
As I said though, it is working very well for the early stage of development its in.
What you could do is make a CWM backup of your ROM and try out one of the ICS builds. But if you use and kind of a2sd script in american then I would recommend using a separate sdcard here so you don't mess up your sd-ext.
Cheers,
Evil.

Use tytung's ICS cm9 1.3.

Hey stuck around gb for a while, ics is under development for hd2. Though it works, it won't do it all, so 3-5 months more..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

I have installed on my phone NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-V.1.3 and I use it every day now for about 5 days with out any problems. Of course it is an under development rom but it is still good enough for every day use. Cheers!

Idea for 3.x Kernel

hello,
i posted it in the ICS update thread:
Hey, silly question, i know, think it would be asked many times.
i wanne opend a new thread at dev, but i cant't to less comments --_--
now, we know, we never get a 3.X kernel from moto, so, we must help us at our own, i asked me, how?
my idea was, what abei the LG P990, i heard, there are 3.x kernel, no officiel, i know.
What are the hardware differences at the LG and the atrix? fingerprint and camera, i know, but what about the rest?
it it identicly? is it possible, that we can work with it? at beginning, without camera and fingerprint?
perhaps we found an other device with an identicly camera and 3.x kernel, perhaps we can look in a direction like that? only moto bashing wont help anyway
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i hope any dev get give informations to me?

the developers already know that moto left us behind..
they're talking about it and what they are going to do??..just the time will tell us...we have to wait hehe
I'm not a developer but sometimes i asked then about start the work from some other similar device's kernel (same that you're suggesting here)..they told that it's an idea but should be necessary a massive rewriting...so it's not easy and they will need time even if the device is similar..

thats the point, i think we don't have any other chance, similar devices kernel, or from scratch, the second is the option which needs more time, i think
i wanne call me a developer, nothing in comparsion with our big ones but i would like to help your devs and i think, i'm not the only one, but i don't know how - i know that is many work and needs massive rewriting, but it's our only option.
i only hope some devs would found together and can say, how we, the, i wanne call it "non-kernel-hackers" , can help.

Its not as simple as that. Each device is different regardless of the OS. If you think our devs aren't good enough or they aren't trying hard enough then I'm sure you know exactly how to do it so just try yourself .

I want to ask you something...how you do to make hwa work on jb for defy?...I ask this because in atrix forum we are mad cos motorola **** us not releasen ICS...
So I think...in first time the problem on defy was the locked bootloader...but you get it work. Atrix has an unlocked bootloader..and we have Nvidia drivers...and I think there is a phone using the same tegra chip on a 2.x kernel...soooo its possible to make something?
If the answer is YES...and you know how to do it...maybe the atrix comunity can donate to you to buy an atrix...

Anyway, i think that our best chances is to raise a found, by donating, and offer it as a bounty for the first dev to create a 3.x kernel for our device. We might find someone that way. Create that kernel takes lots of time and skills. Very very few people are willing to invest all the time required for free.

I too have sent Hashcode a message asking for possible assistance. I told him we would be willing to donate to the cause.

If you can organise a decent fund/development device, I'd recommend contacting TripNRaVeR. He has experience porting the vanilla 3.1.10 Tegra kernel code to a new device (the One X, which shipped with 2.6.39) hence he's probably already halfway there with knowing where to go next. It looks like LG and Sammy have ditched DVFS in their 3.1.10 releases on the Galaxy R and O2X, which would be nice (using standard governors )
