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

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] Honeycomb on Hero?

can anybody port the 3.0 honeycomb version to our beloved Hero?
they did it to the G1/Magic, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RKEHfOwnSI&feature=player_embedded
any hope??

If there is a port to G1/Magic I guess that is possible a port to Hero..

Sitting here, playing with an ugly port of the sdk, the first images,most just to remove my pin code so I can get into the system

yes elelinux!
do you think when the sources get released you would have much chance of building a full (or near full) working honeycomb rom?

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.

If it's built from SDK I bet that almost none of the hardware is working...

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!

Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.

but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner

Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!

no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

What happened to the original Full HDMI?

I know that before team win was working on Full HDMI there was someone else that already had a beta out. If I remember correctly, it was fully functional compared to the one put out by team win. Where can I find this at?
Thanks,

Violation of GPL. The developer only released a public beta to get people to buy it once of is released.

Also, you should be able to find it in the Evo 4G roots and hacks forum at www.androidcentral.com

Oh, that kind of sucks. I was hoping to try this app out now that I just got my new HD tv. I've been hearing that the one released by team win is not fully functional.

The other guys app isn't fully functional neither, its still considered a beta also. The team win hdmi is free as compared to the guy orrembas(android central) has a trial. He said when his app hits the market the trial will automatically end and not work you will need to pay for it. I've used both apps and only thing the other guys has is sound(which isn't all that great cause it flickers while team wins doesn't). Good luck

Incorrect. One of the kernels to enable the HDMI app was in violation of GPL and that was pulled by the dev in order to comply with GPL rules. The app does not violate anything and neither does the stock kernel with the HDMI drivers.

How do you miss something you've pretty much never had? lol Either way, no worries. Sooner than later, you will have options as far as HDMI mirroring goes. I find myself getting a lot more use out of my phone now with this feature. It really is awesome.

Based on the Latest post it will be hitting the market pretty soon.
Still no update on if he will release the custom drivers he wrote so they can be integrated into other kernels, although I believe that the drivers aren't needed in the new version, he is able to use the App in software mode.
Hardware mode requires drivers and overclocking which is what was in violation of GPL. Last I checked neither Team win or orrebmas has realeased source code to their Kernels.

The HDMI drivers from orrebmas have been public for a long while now. It would be up to the kernel cookers to compile them into the existing and/or future kernels builds.

Excellent, I guess I missed that, Thanks
Hopefully only a matter of time before some new Kernels are released, using the SBC one concerns me a little.

Getting the audio out port to work on docks?

Ok, after I already searched....... can someone who uses this feature answer a few questions.
1. What's a good ROM that supports the audio out port with no modding?
2. Is there anyway to get it to automatically SWITCH to the audio out port when you dock it?
3. Any cool apps that you personally have used for docking?

Ok, bumping this since a lot of us have switched over to the new CM7...
Any idea on how to get this working again?

I'm not sure if this is how other devices handle this but that app and others starting a new intent (com.sec.android.intent.action.INTERNAL_SPEAKER) with a state bit to enable/disable the usb audio. It is my understanding that Samsung implemented a closed source application registered to this intent in order to change the audio state. If this is the case that they are using a non-standard proprietary app then it is possible that the functionality doesn't exist in CM.

doesnt work in CM7

unless the CM team or someone independent creates a CM7 compatible Kernel that supports the dock then no. noobnl gave it a go but it didn't work, so it got pushed off, maybe permenantly. someone from the cyanogen forums is trying it but he's admitted that its probably out of his league

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.

Hi quarx!
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 )
