Hi,
I got a SGS i9000 running on android 2.2.1 and I saw that the Nexus S is running on android 2.3.
Supercurio provided us an nice port for sgs but it is still in early stages.
The idea:
The idea is to mod an untouched NS (nexus s) firmware to make it compatible with SGS (galaxy s).
NS firmware deosnt support all SGS's functions so the easiest way to run android 2.3 on SGS would be to mix NS and SGS firmware.
How to:
If we can extract files from the NS firmware and add missing ones from an SGS firmware it should work (maybe with some tricks).
Supercurio port test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877800
Info on ubi filesystem http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubifs.html
Extract and rebuild ubi.img http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=4032.0
To do list:
Get NS and SGS untouched firmware (can be found on samdroid)
Extract the ubi.img file (see link above, can be done only under linux)
Play with files (after some test of my own I found that every SGS fw got similar files and only a few are used to differency versions so basically we will need the whole NS fw and replace the framework and lib files to make it run on SGS)
Before spending some nights on this I would like to have your opinion on this idea.
Also I posted on the NS forum as first steps are only related to NS, SGS part will come later.
Well im no dev but that makes sense..
If this works, maybe a port to the epic 4g can work!

Are you a developer? Are you contributing? No.
This phone isn't even one month old, it's still in its early stages and theres a lot of choices.
1) CyanogenMod 7
2) MoDaCo
3) TW Bionix
CyanogenMod7 is the most significant one. Even SGS doesn't have support for CM7... not yet, who knows when they will.

Yeah its also some very nice ROMs, but try to compare the nexus one development section with the nexus s development section, there is a lot more to the n1. Im a bit worried and thats also why i react the way i do on #1 in this thread.

Hello,
Just wanted to say my impression on Lidroid ICS ROM. I have been using almost all LPB based Roms lately. The only one that stayed longer was MODGalaxy, which is a clean stock Samsung LPB Rom.
Having read about Lidroid dev here and his mods, I read that he issues his Rom based on ICS too in his forum. So I gave it a try. Apart of some apps in Chinese language, a nice keyboard but unfortunately for Chinese language, I am really impressed for its smoothness. The rom has 14 icon mod, percentage battery, Lockapp, Root Explorer and other goodness by default.
I have removed some of the local apps with Root Explorer and inserted an ICS keyboard. Now everything runs good for me.
I am trying today and just wanted to say to brave hearts to give it a try too. You will be impressed I think or hope...

Another first impressions thread... Maybe someone should start a second impressions thread?
Come on guys. I just wanted to let you know about a Rom that is not available in this forum. This post was not about my impressions but mostly about knowing and trying a Rom outside of XDA.
Or maybe I could say my last impressions about this thread before it gets closed?
I've just installed the ics ROM from Craver UK site. They have a link to download the very latest ROM from the nexus phones. I was expecting the black and blue theme that I've using in CM9. Can anyone help or is this correct?
Not sure what you're expecting here. Samsung does not follow the stock ICS mentality, they will always add Touchwiz on top of Android. If it looks IDENTICAL to Gingerbread, then you didn't flash the right ROM... There are SOME differences between Samsung ICS and Samsung Gingerbread.
and also, this could have easily been posted in one of the multiple pre-existing threads for ICS.
+ any Samsung ICS roms in the wild are only leaked beta test roms .
jje
The black and blue theme is unique to CM roms, it's not a standard on pure ICS or Samsung ICS Most of the look and feel of the Samsung ICS roms are the same as gingerbread
However if you look at the settings it's clearly different from gingerbread roms
Thanks for your comments, I've decided to use Resurrection Remix one instead and its defiantly allot better more stable.
Thanks again.
Should of stuck with cm9, all samsung roms will look like the current gingerbread ones.
lol... i bought a samsung galaxy s2, but it still looks like samsung galaxy s2... y doesnt it look like galaxy nexus?
If all you care about is the looks, then just simply change your theme and call it a day.
ICS is different to GB. Is it better ? Well that remains to be seen.

If you decompile the systemui.apk, in the bools XML I believe there's a part that says use touchwiz UI and it's set to "true". I wonder if this can be changed to false so our phones will use the standard ics interface. I just can't figure out how to recompile it without it force closing... lol

I doubt it's that easy. But hey, who knows! Only problem is they won't package Trebuchet with Touchwiz...
Just install Nova/Trebuchet launcher if you want it to "look" more like ICS. Nova is awesome.

Thats a Google requirement for ICS. It's theme i.e color schemes etc nothing much to do with UI/Menus. Samsung can tweak UI all they want as long as they also bundle the Halo theme along with theirs.
It's been done so apps look same across devices.You won't be able to change some setting and get AOSP look.

Further info:
As an app developer you can choose between "DeviceDefault"-Theme and "Holo"-Theme. So it is up to the developers...BUT the app needs to be for 4.0 if it is for 2.3 the Holo settings meight confuse you phone, this means that the most developers will NEED to use the "DeviceDefault" cause that is what Gingerbread can also handle.
Samsung's Gingerbread didn't look at all like Google's Gingerbread, so I don't understand why people expect ICS to be any different...

I have no doubt that ICS is better than GB period. The issue is how much will they screw it up trying to bring it across to the sgs2.

Hi all,
I wanted to ask you wether you want to have the next release ported from Nexus S or from the Galaxy Nexus.
If I use the Galaxy Nexus Rom we'll get the touch buttons on the display, with NS rom we won't have them. Your decision.

no, I don't need it, I want to have a decision from the users if I should port the gnex rom (then it has buttons included) or the NS rom (then it hasn't onscreen buttons included). But I want to find out, which one the users want to have.

Just out of curiosity, what other differences would there be? I don't know much about rom porting but wouldn't it be more difficult to port from galaxy nexus because of the huge difference in screen resolution?

I don't know anything about porting gingerbread. I have found a very simple tutorial for MIUI V4 porting, and currently I have running the Gnex version on my X10, ported with that way. Only thing I have recognized yet, is that sometimes the systemUI has fc'ed when I pressed the taskmanager button imidietly after the back button But don't know if it comes from the Gnex version on X10, or that happens also on Gnex itself.
P.S: I personally like the onscreenbuttons

Yes, the hardware from NS is more identical to X10's as the Gnex one, but it works anyways. The question was if you want to have onscreenbuttons, not which rom is more suitable for X10
And the deep sleep, J said he'll look into it, but I can't really do anything there. I have to wait for J to fix it.

Make just a nexus s rom with optional the galaxy nexus button flashable zip or make galaxy nexus and make a optionale remove zip some people doesn't like the buttons
Nexus S
The reason is that I don't want any buttons or anything eating up the display of my X10i
Ok guys, I have spent a little bit of my expensive time into a solution which is for everyone the best
I'm uploading right now the new version and make a last test, then you'll see.

Receiving a used Xoom soon and was reading many many forums on Xoom roms and want to see what people are using. I would like ICS of course, not really concerned with overclocking. I run AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus and never have looked back. But not sure the best route for the Xoom.. I know ROMS are personal preference but still want to get an idea to see who's leading the pack and packing most of the latest features and addons.
Sorry if I missed any roms.
Thanks Guys

To be honest, most people use EoS, I think.
However since a couple of weeks there has been a huge battery sucker in it
CM is also one of the most popular roms, but I prefer EOS or the Bugless Beast ROM.
However the latter has come to a standstill due to some personal issues of the developer, still: it runs amazingly smooth without need to over clock!
All the other roms are okay, I guess, but I can't help you with those
Just my two cents ;-)

Thats what I run on my GNex too but didnt see many posts on the Xoom so wasnt sure if it was up to par as the GNex version.
AOKP has been my daily on the Xoom for a month or two now, runs like a dream.
I have been running AOKP on my XOOM for some time now. I really like all the extra features. However, I think that what the Xoom really lacks in development is a Kernel. I have been spoiled with Faux123 on my Galaxy Nexus. But the kernels I have been using on the XOOM have been outdated. Anyone have a kernel recommendation?

AOKP ships with stock kernel right? EOS and Rogue are usually on top of keeping their kernels up to date. EOS kernel is tiamat and there's a thread somewhere around here for it and Rogue.
Edit: Better yet get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Its GooMamager. Browse files and under kernels there's are a ton that claim "Compatibility". I think the ICS kernel is very unified. Goomanager will also notify you when your ROM is updated,and as long as you have an open script recovery, Goo will download the Update and make a backup in Recovery (with rename prior to backup) wipe/wipe cache and install new update then reboot almost like an ota. So easy now. Also notifies when gapps updates. I guess its the new ROM Manager.
Anyways at the bottom of the kernel list is Rogue with what looks like an up to date kernel.

Yes. As far as I know, mz505 can be rooted. But these roms were not tested with it.
You can still root it. Also try to flash the rom of mz604 on it from team EOS since it is wifi only. Might work. Or just enjoy a rooted device.
