Boom!!!!

I prefer regular AOKP from the aokp.co site, not the glitched one. For me, it's smoother but i'm sure the glitched has a valid argument

I'll tell you right now the official is not faster or smoother. Trust me I maintain both trees. More stable? Maybe cuz I don't push stuff to AOKP until I'm sure it works. It has nothing the glitched builds don't have.

Zinc Elements? where do you find that at? rootz or here?

ok i know it probably shouldn't go here, but I.. think I'm running evil fascination from long time back, and to upgrade to ICS I need to do a wipe? It took me a while to set up my phone and don't want to do that over... Is there a way I can just port to ICS?
Also, what do you guys see as advantages of ICS? Is it worth the jump?

I am using Gummy 4.0.4...works great...comes with apex launcher and a few other bells and whistles. Very customizable. So far appears to be very stable. My fascinate is like a new phone.

Elements was an eclair rom which was a total rip off of superfrankenclean and kinda a joke The point was it makes as much sense to run regular aokp over m5 as it did there.
I forget that a lot of people haven't been here since close to the start.

ohh, haha, sorry, I'm originally from the Motorola Droid X2 forums then got sick of Motorola and their lame ass policies so I decided I'd switch to a Samsung phone and honestly I can say I'm not upset about it. Motorola may have better build qualities, but that's not all that's important for me, I enjoy my fascinate and the openness of it.

Lol no problem. Fascinate has had ridiculous staying power due to the work of the excellent developers.
But seriously, glitched aokp is where its at. Frees up extra usable ram and lots of other goodies. Grab it off the exynos server in its thread in the dev forums.

yes the latest aokp b40/ms6 and aokp Jelly Bean have a in-call volume settings menu that allows you to adjust mic gain/volume across speakerphone/earpiece/headset. Set the speaker phone mic gain around 12-13 and that will get rid of the echo. I believe its set to 26 by default.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I don't mean the ROM. I meant some of the features from the new touchwiz. Like the one where the screen won't turn off if you are looking at it.

This, yes that is alot easier and more along the lines I would actually bother to download it.

I was able to install s-voice. Im running AOKP build 36. Its works some times. Sometimes it FC, also another thing that happens is the audio being outputted through the earpiece instead of the back speaker.

I have a Note and almost all those have been ported/pulled. Take a trip to the i717 forums and see if the pulled .APKs work.

The galaxy s1 had Ports that were crazy coming from the vibrant I know with experience. I guess its difficult with so few devs or I don't know. The vibrant was truly a sublime experience. Too bad that carrier phones don't get good specs or source codes or updates for that matter or this phone would be as fun as the nexus or the international s2. But hey we get burned by the American market every time. If we could get universal technology it would be a bigger market all together.

I want to learn to port or make a ROM

So I want to try and learn how ROMs work. Or maybe that's a little bit too much to start with, maybe mods and hacks and stuff. Is there any tutorials on how to start anything that has to do with development that someone has actually used and learned from and worked with him that you can point me out to? Or at least can someone tell me where I should start to be able to learn all that I need to know?
I've done some theming and editing .xml files and decompliling and stuff so its not that I don't know anything, just don't know enough.

Yes young padawan. You have much to learn in the ways of the force.

No disrespect to the OP or anyone else, but if you have to ask how then you aren't ready.
Do some research: take apart zips, find out how things work. Learn about Android as a whole (helps to also learn how 'nix) works also, Android is of course based largely on it), and most importantly trial and error.
The force is strong in this one, I can feel it. But he must complete the trials in order to fully understand the true nature of the force.

Well maybe I should be searching and doing things on my own but that's what I did when I started to theme a little bit and it worked out well. But I started by seeing one of travis' tutorials and with the help of shane with a lot of things.
So basically I need some help that's all.
And I too see that CM7/9, AOKP and all those are the same. Especially the 2 versions of MIUI. So I would like to start my own thing kind of like sence and blur. Sence would be something I would be interested in doing since I loved my htc phones before this one, but since its already started I will try and work on something else.
Ill pm you xboxfanj and we'll see how I can start working on it. And thanks for your offer =).

AOKP/CNA/Gummy is kinda like Sbrissen mod for touchwiz gingerbread roms on steroids. Like xbox said, the AOSP thing has been done to death on ICS. All we're getting at this point is some pointless fragmentation between the roms.
UBER/Biggorn/Big Goron or whatever name your using these days , I wish you luck with that endeavor. I tried to do my own for a couple months and realized that I was updating it every other day thanks to what was getting merged in on the other roms. Too much of a PITA for me so I went back to theming.

MIUI ROM

Throwing it out there as I have the time to pursue but not the hardware - anyone willing to part with a p3113?, I'd like to port over MIUI for the Tab2. If anyone is interested PM me.

For the love of Google, someone get this guy a P3113. Or donate so he can get one! I'll throw a few bones your way Tuesday/Wednesday.
Anyone else interested in MIUI for our tabs? If 25 of us just do $10, this guy, might just deliver something awesome.
Can, you provide us with a little more info on your dev skills; can you handle such a task? Also, a donate button, or paypal link would help your cause, getting donations.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app

Hah' thanks for the plug. In theory this would be my first full blown rom. Ive always done the testing, never the up front work. I've gotten my tab to the point where I don't even care if JB gets ported to it. Everything works, its stable, snappy, and makes no sense to mess with it.
As for my Atrix4G...that ****s taken a beating and MIUI was my choice. There where too many minor bugs and since I want a phone that works full time, I stopped messing with that and went back to Jokers latest. Searching around I can't find anything for a 3113 and MIUI. In short, if I had something else to fart around with and get it to the point where it works as well as what I'm writing you with...I'd love to share, maintain, etc. Paying for the shorties education, sports, etc comes first...hah. took the honest approach with this one.

MIUI on the Atrix was outstanding - video cam and a few other minor issues is the only thing holding me back there. I could see the potential on a gt2 esp with a kernel mod... who knows, it's just a thought! polska dobra!

Sorry man but if you want a tab 2 then buy one. They're cheap.
Miui would be cool but it wouldn't be hard for any decent developer to port. Plus with the popularity of this tablet miui will come, just a matter of time.

i hear you - hoping some decent developer forgets to work on their nexus, xoom, kindle and picks up a tab2 instead... and gets the IR to work properly

Its CPU is very similar, and the GPU is the exact same.
Also this might be worth checking out aswell

And let's not forget that if it works on the 7.0 it can be ported to the 10.1 with less effort...
