Hi all,
Sadly, I have irrecoverably bricked my S2 and I am no longer as active in the S2 forums. This does not mean you guys should stop trying to port this ROM to the S2 - It is a great device that should still be considered as one of the high-end phones in the market. Even though I've moved on to the S3 I will gladly try to help this project that I started and I am following this thread post by post.
I think it would be a good idea if everyone that has done something for the porting post exactly what they did and what were the results.
Hi guys,
I know that I've been fairly quiet over the past week, and that is because this project is going nowhere. I know we have some general direction of what we have to do, but a lot of fine details are unclear to me and everybody else. These details are ones such as: how to decompile & recompile the apks, which images to resize & how, what folders should be renamed, what files are needed in the new Rom, and more.
I have asked for assistance from the people porting the Sense 4 One X Rom to the S2, and I am waiting for a reply.
Sit tight, and hope for the best!
Hi guys!
This thread is meant to organize the porting of the Galaxy S3 firmware to our Galaxy S2.
The first thing we have to do is make the /system folder of the Rom smaller than 500MB, because that is how our phone is partitioned. To achieve that the first thing we have to do is convert all the XHDPI images in the apks to HDPI images because it will make the apks smaller and anyways - our phone is a HDPI device. After we do this, we will see if we have to trim down on more space in our /system folder.
To test if the Rom will boot after we do the above steps, I deleted a bunch of non-essential apps such as voice talk to make the /system folder smaller than 500MB. I then replaced the /system/app & /system/framework with the modified S3 ones, but unfortunately the Rom did not boot fully and got stuck at boot animation. To figure out why it didn't boot, Pulser suggested that we use a kernel that has adb force enabled and then we can get a logcat and see what the problem is.
For people who want to help meanwhile:
The task that is needed to be done is convert all the XHDPI images in the apks to HDPI images.
How to do this:
1. Download the S3 Rom (below).
2. Download Resizer 1.0 (below).
3. Resize all XHDPI images in all the apks in /system/app & /system/framework.

Would love to see this happen, not sure how viable it is though.

it would be more then WOW to get it ported to the sgs2.
But is it posible to run quad-core kernel/modem/radio software on a dual-core carrier
I thing good intentions are not enough. There must be several developers interested in thic project

Please do that awesome devs !
this is very interesting.
A great idea, I'll be watching to see com evolves.
They have ported the ICS based ROM to the SGS. Why can the SGS3's ROM not be ported to ours as well? :/
Now that we have a few dozen users interested within a few hours of this thread existing, we have to try to raise the awareness of developers in the hope that some of them join the project.
Whoever has names of developers that might be interested, please try and contact them and see if they are interested in joining the project.
Well if any devs are going to do this...There is not much use in porting the UI and the SGSIII theme. Rather shouldn't the emphasis be on the handy features and new apps that Samsung have made?

very problematic idea
have you seen how much space take an I9300 rom ?
to do a proper port the developer will need to creat a new pit file (wich will re format the space on the phone to give larger drive for the system)
and a new bootloader wich he will have to make to work with the new pit
without cusing hard brick to the user

app folder and framework folder of sgs3 is 470 MB and our system partition is 500 MB so not enough space for other files such as libs,bins,media,etc
Maybe if its ported then devs can remove some bloatware and move some apps to data partition

Won't the apps be portable anyway its all 4.0.4 - not sure why you would want the whole ROM for a different phone?
Have been thinking about this all morning... glad people are already on the case!! After using an S3 yesterday, I'd personally be keen for a straight/similar ported ROM where possible rather than pulling out all the best bits. I've had enough of AOSP ROMs for now....

Nexus One Dump?
I'm a little surprised this isn't up here yet. There is a dump floating around rumored to be Nexus One. You can find it at AndroidSPIN.com.
Has anyone poked around at all?
It's right where it should be in the Development and Hacking > Android software development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
I've had a quick look through this and found some interesting files.
Most notably, something called 'GenieWidget.apk'.
When are non blurry camera's going to hit the market? Nice dump though hopefully this will get ported to the Behold II....*cough*

They need to be resized and odexed or whatever so it can run on your G1/mytouch or whichever you have. Theres this script in the G1 section that does deodexes or something.
Ace is right. The sizes are to big for dreams and magics. is there even a way to resize the files? also, custom roms are going to become harder now that there are different sizes for phones, but im guessing cyanogen is going to make roms for the neXus
aw, i was kinda hoping that this would be in a .img format so we can load it up and play with it in the emulator
SDK Emulator
Is there anyway I can take this dump and use it in the SDK emulator?
to devs: FIRST ONE TO PORT ISNT A ROTTEN EGG!
Yes, this is the Nexus One.
The boot animation works without modification on the Droid.
Could anyone provide boot.img also
Our guys have been trying to push some of the apk's but not had any luck so far. Has anybody got any apk's from this onto any other build yet?
I tried with my phone and the emulator, but I am a newb. Most of the new apks require Android 2.1 by the way.
if you tried the same method of installing the new maps fex week ago? they modify a file to let G1 thought it was on 2.0 kernel or 1.6 don't remember (system or settings files don't remember) after that the apk works on G1 and we can find it via the market. ask MLIGN he made the change.
So during the time was ban on XDA for flaming Noob. I have had the time to take a rom of my liking and personalize it to what I believe to be the perfect rom, well for me at least. Now that have everything all together I want to share my creation with the world and Good people here on XDA. But I have no idea how to make everything in to a DOT .zip file. I need help and I was wondering if anyone would care to help me.
What will be included in the rom:
GB launcher2
Galaxy tab TWlauncher clone
OC 1.2ghz Kernel w/ universal lagfixes
Gingerbread style theme w/ a little color
GPS fix
swype
Gb keyboard w/ working vibration and sound
boot-animation.zip
Avatar Movie app

This rom will be a mix of Eugene and masters roms so all thank goes to them and a couple other people on the forum.
Thank You

Hi. I think you'll find a lot of support on XDA for building your own ROM and/or for theming. You've covered a lot of different areas in terms of what you want to do. I have a few recommendations.
1. Do a quick search, either here or in Google, on how to build Android ROMs. There's a lot of good information out there and some of it might resonate with you in terms of how they explain things. That said, if all you're doing is changing a few files around; files you already have, then you would simply add them to, or replace the existing ones from a ROM you like. Just be sure to connect with the developers of that ROM so you can give credit where credit is due. Or, you could start with the Stock ROM and do it that way. But, in either case, you would be essentially using WinZip or some similar app to build the .zip file as you'd like to see it.
2. Consider hooking up with one of the existing developers and start making contributions to their work. That would give you a chance to work with some of the best people who are already doing what you want to do. I think in that case, it wouldn't take too long for you to come up to speed on who they've approached things. Also, this helps you from making some novice mistakes that I'm sure they've made along the way.
Lastly, consider the "value add" of your ROM over those that are already available. If you build something and no one has heard of you and then they don't see your ROM as having anything better or different to offer, then people might not want to use it. For example, Team Whiskey has Obsidian. Then they released Onyx. However, Onyx was materially different than Obsidian in that they removed a lot of the TouchWiz based theming and T-Mobile applications. So, a lot of people saw value in that.
Anyway, good luck. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!
This thing sounds quite nice! Would you be interested in posting the 2.2.1 build you got your hands on and the GB KB with Vibration? I haven't seen either of those elsewhere.

First, google WINRAR and download it.
Then select all your files, right click and click ARCHIVE and then choose location, name, and wait until its done, and it'll be in a .zip.
Root Explorer is not a free app, so you may want to reconsider adding that as part of your ROM.

Closed Thread!
Just picked up a new galaxy tablet 7.0 (8GB) about a week ago. Great device so far and love it. I just can't stand the preloaded bloatware on the device and the space its taking up. It's currently running version 4.0.4
I've read up a bit up on ROMS and rooting the device. Seem pretty comfortable with it just have a few questions.
1) Do I need an SD card in the device in order to root it?
2) Best rom out there? Appears like the most talked about rom is the Cyanogen Mod 10?
No you don't need an SD Card but you may as well get one as you will need it once you start making nandroid back ups. Your tab fill up quickly ! Not to mention media and apps on top of that as well. Bigger the better to be honest.
No such thing as the best ROM, Once you are rooted try them all out and find one that suits your needs. I love AOKP M1( link in my sig) as you can customize it more than CM10 and has better features IMO.
If you dont want to customize it , try a deodexed stock based ROM with all the bloat removed, ROMSWELL makes some cool ROMS. Search the DEV section of this forum.
As i said its a personal choice , so flash them and try them out. Wont cost you anything apart from some time..... If you need help just ask and someone will give you some advice. Don't forget to flash some GApps ( Goggle Applications) as they are not normally included in a ROM due to copyright issues.
Most of all have fun. :laugh:
Oh id go for a JellyBean based ROM , nothing wrong with ICS , just the latest version out (4.2 is around the corner as well with some cool new stuff )

Thanks for the info! So the 4.0.4 is not jelly bean but its ICS?
How can I not download Jelly bean.. when I try to do an update it says its the most recent one..
I did see that some ROMS allow you to OC the device, so squeezing that extra little juice out of it I wouldn't mind either
Yeah you're trying to update "stock" and its not been released as yet to the general public.....So flash a custom ROM (once you have root)
Once you root , forget about Samsung updates as they wont work any more, But the XDA community devs do that for us much quicker than Samsung does !
Heres a rough guide from Codeworkx (CM10)
First time installing CyanogenMod 10 to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard ( or the external SD Card )
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM10 zip from internal SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- Reboot

The ROM you are running is Ice Cream Sandwich, comes as a "stock" standard on our tabs, CM10 and AOKP are both JellyBean, Some other customs ROMs are as well. Both are under/over-clockable and both can use custom kernels as well. Both VERY stable and have very good support threads by the devs that compiled them.

Thanks for your help! Great info there. Are any of these ROMS more complex than the other? I just don't want to get into it too deep or too complex and having more of a issue getting things up and running properly or are these all the same complexity when installed? ie.. customization etc..
Aokp is very similar to CM based ROMs. They are as easy to set up as a stock ROM, only they allow for more tweaks than a factory ROM. The only thing that you have a to do with a custom rom is flash gapps(Google apps) usually in the rom thread. Read, reread, and grow a pair. The fear will turn into a high that draws you in. There is a reason that the term crack-flashing was born. It is very simple to do it on this tablet. If you have any trouble pm me, or post here, and I will walk you through it. I just did it a couple of days ago for my daughters. Good luck

At first try stable roms like AOKP JB milesone 1
As JeramyEggs said , just jump in and get wet ! They are all pretty much the same , I just prefer AOKP as I can customize it a little bit more than the others. I really dont like the way CM10 handles the navigation bar , where as AOKP lets you do as you wish to it. And I like the toggles it uses as well.
Dump stock what ever you do, Dont get me wrong I love the Samsung stock ROMs as they look stunning and the widgets are top class.The music/video players are quality. You will also gain some space on your tab as well. Stock ROMs are around 750MB and custom ROMs are normally under 200MB
Stock has no theme engine as such , that means if you want to change the way it looks ( other than wallpapers) you will have to start decompiling some system .apks ( Applications ) and it gets a tad tricky messing with .xmls.and getting it all working again.
With the theme engine in place you have 100s of themes to choose from ( over 500 in fact) and plenty of mods you can flash as well, You can even edit themes either online or on your PC with some XDA made applciations ( I use "tickle my android" personally to make themes / Edit apks like widgets n stuff )
CM10/AOKP are always being updated ( But AOKP has stopped development for the moment as I mentioned above , until 4,2 is ported) CM10 has a preview build out already.Both ROMs have a ROM control option to pimp your device up as well.
If you look through this thread , you can see most of the main ROMs and what we all do with them. :laugh:
I tend to flash most of the new ROMs just to try them out. When I'm done messing around with it all I do is boot into recovery and restore my nandroid back up and I'm back to the way I was .Its kinda like system restore on a Windows PC.
Get stuck on anything , just ask as most of the forum members are all pretty cool and more than willing to help out.
My advice is......GO FOR IT !!11!!!1 What you got to lose ?

Reading some of this stuff I am overwhelmed. So in order to backup the device up I need to root it first?
I will start with the HOW TO ROOT YOUR TAB thing now and see how far I get..
So I started last night and let's say didn't get very far. Downloaded the neccessary files but for some stupid reason the Kies software (needed to install this to get the drivers installed for the tablet so I can transfer the contents to it) was not installing.
I left my laptop on during the night and it never finished installing the software. I obtained it right from the Samsung Support website.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Also, once I do get this software installed so that the device shows up under Windows Explorer so I can drag the neccessary .zip files to it. Is there a specific location on the device I should place the files on? I do not currently have a SD card in the tablet.
Oh and my device model is a GT-P3113
So I managed to install Kies.. Guess it was getting hung up on .NET framework 4. So I just downloaded and installed myself and then tried the Kies thing and it went right through the install.
So now I should be good to actually see the device in Windows Explorer once I plug it in.
My question still remains, any particular spot on the device I need to place the .zip files for rooting?

Anywhere you can easily find the tar.md5 file on your windows drive, the*cwm-root-gtab2.zip goes to*/mnt/extSdCard which is the root, don't place in a file. I rooted mine via http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how-to-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step-updated-07182012/

Okay.. so /mnt/extSdCard is if you have a SD card in the device.
But I do not have a SDcard, that is why i am actually asking does it matter where I place the files within the tablet internal storage due to not having a micro sd card.

Well, do your own research. There is a table of contents in the 7" dev forum, go read the rooting method there and also in the general section. Also, I'm not responsible for what others post and, you can ask the other guy how he rooted his without an sd. I recommend reading about rooting before doing it. I will say this is the easiest device to root.
So I managed to root the device. Was pretty straight forward once I got going. I installed AOKP milestone 1 rom as per someones suggestion here saying it's stable. Overall it does look nicer now and smoother only a couple of questions.
1) I took a backup or the stock stuff before doing anything after performing the root. Now I noticed all the data is gone lol.. Is there anyway to get the data back? Mainly the game progress and all the other stuff?
2) I see AOKP has a theme function under it's settings, currently there is only 1 listed. Where does one obtain themes for it? It's not in the Play Store, is it?
3) Saw the overclocking option also, does that mean the overclock can be pumped up to 1200mhz?
Guess my main question now is whether or not I can get that data back lol..
If you performed a factory reset after flashing your custom ROM, which you should have anyway, I'm sorry to say you have lost your data.

Sure did.. Oh well now I'll know at least and look into the actual backup apps to backup game progress.
The .zip files I put on the table prior to rooting, like fix-recovery, the clockwork mod file as well as the actual ROM, can those be removed off the tablet now?
I played around a bit last night and I found the THEME Choose on the Play Store and I saw themes.

So I managed to root the device. Was pretty straight forward once I got going. I installed AOKP milestone 1 rom as per someones suggestion here saying it's stable. Overall it does look nicer now and smoother only a couple of questions.
1) I took a backup or the stock stuff before doing anything after performing the root. Now I noticed all the data is gone lol.. Is there anyway to get the data back? Mainly the game progress and all the other stuff?
2) I see AOKP has a theme function under it's settings, currently there is only 1 listed. Where does one obtain themes for it? It's not in the Play Store, is it?
3) Saw the overclocking option also, does that mean the overclock can be pumped up to 1200mhz?
Guess my main question now is whether or not I can get that data back lol..

1) which app do you use to back up? some apps only back up apk and some other back up the data too
2) you can find aokp/cm theme on playstore, usualy nice theme will cost more
3) yes you can overclock it via ROM control on setting
hello frnds,
When many people were working on multiwindow and CM i decided to work upon my own to bring up s IV camera ..it's so strange that i've not seen a single thread to get this amazing feature !
i will upload my first compilation soon ..
remember it's just the initial build which includes some unnessasry libs and apps ..
but im sure that some experienced dev will be able to solve it ..
btw you don't have to change the app to hdpi as i've done it already
REMEMBER EVEN I DIDN'T TEST THIS BUILD ..IT'S JUST A COMPILATION OF REQUIRED FILES
instructions: (for testers)
1.Please make a nandroid backup..
2.delete seccamera.apk from system/app cause you are installing seccamera2.apk:fingers-crossed:
3.flash via CWM/TWRP and reboot..
instructions: (for devs)
1.before flashing this zip just go through all the contents especially the library files
2.delete what you think is unnecessary
3.do some changes in framework2.jar(i think it has to be edited i'm not sure)
4.then make a nandroid backup and flash..
first compilation:https://www.dropbox.com/s/qludngntsu7asa0/camera beta 1.zip
reseved
HDPI? Hmm. I don't have an Advance but Blaze is the same res. Let me look into it..

Edit: Looks big for a camera and some needed libs. For sure there are unneeded ones in there.
Is this confirmed working on our device.

Ok I will try it for you.
Hope it will not give bootloop.
Have you confirmed that framework2.jar needs modification.

good:good:
i really wanted to check what happens..
now here's what exactly happened according to me..
#the zip permissions are al-right so it should have flashed everything properly
#but the space reserved for the ROM in s advance is not enough!
#remember on s3,s4,note 2,grand etc. you don't get 3 divisions of phone memory
#in our phone the phone memory shows around 2 GB
#so the space must have been occupied by the smaller files mainly eraser,beauty face etc.
#time for test 2 buddy !
#goog luck with multiwindow..:good:
Yes you're right after flashing I saw that in the titanium backup.
It shows 631mb in the system rom.

Will be more than Happy to test it.. But please tell us from where did you port.. what did u do...?? any features..?? some extra info..
Just posting a zip file link and asking us to test is not the right way...!!
I have done porting the old way and have taken some files like framework.res from the port and put it in the base..... I have not done major changes which will affect system...... I have done replacing of lib camera and lib audio and some folders in the etc.... No changes with the meta inf folder.... mostly it should work........ I will be doing a lot of work on themes and ram for better performance(will be taking out some bloatware) .....I will be changing boot animation...... But for now I want to test it..... Thanks for replying

Porting works only on same android version. Anyway it doesn't work in new versions of android. @Judge Joseph Dredd please move to Q&A

Aniketh... The title says it all..... I have ported cm11 and x rom v1 by x user... Pls check out his rom
A few things here, if I may, first and for most, this does not belong in this Section.
1) Ports do not go in the Original Development...
2) You do not have the Device to test yourself? And if you need to test a ROM, see #1 here
3) And the Format of this OP, is something to be worked on, which is the least of your worries. Take a look here for an example format for a ROM thread.
