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.
While I appreciate all that the modding/hacking community has done for us I and a few others will admit to feeling quite left out when we are using a Mac of some sort.
It seems quite dumb and weird to use an unstable platform such as windows to flash a sensitive device such as the Galaxy Tab.
Yes we know that there is Parallels and Boot Camp but again that is using a unsafe foundation for a sensitive operation.
Will there be any NATIVE tools for the Apple users soon that have the exact same features and uses?
KEEP THE COMMENTS CLEAN. WE WANT THIS TO BE A FRIENDLY TOPIC! THANK YOU!

As has been previously mentioned, Heimdall is available on OS/X, so you didn't really research this topic too well before posting!
Having said that, whilst I have 3 Macs, I still prefer to use Odin on Windows, and I thoroughly disagree that Windows is unstable. It can be made to be unstable, true, but a well maintained an administered Windows system (especially x64) can be very stable indeed!
Regards,
Dave
I apologize then. I am not a fanboy of anysort I just do not trust Windows that much anymore due to issues with it. My apologies if I offended anyone with my "views".
When I searched for OSX Software for some odd reason this "Heimdall" did not show up. Guess I put the incorrect parameters in.
Thanks for setting me straight.
Just be a bit more friendly next time instead of asking people to go away when asking for help. Or you could do a search first before posting.

Yes that big red lettering is ignorant. Also, your a MAC user. The OS is MAC not Apple...

Does not matter.....you got what I meant right? Sorry if it offended you in some way.
I use Odin from a Windows 7 virtual machine within Parallels, it runs fine.
I'm also running OS X, but not on Apple hardware, as my system is roughly equivalent to the most powerful system they offer (as far as CPU/GPU anyway), but built for about 1/4 of the price. I don't want to pay the premium mainly because the hardware has their logo on it, but the OS is fantastic.

Technically he said "Apple users" never mentioning any OS, and considering that Mac OS X runs only on Apple hardware (or hardware pretending to be Apple like for the relatively rare hackintosh users) he's quite correct. On the other hand a MAC is a Media Access Code and not a short version of Macintosh...
That said: yeah, Heimdall. Requires a restart since it installs a kernel extension, but it works well.

I was just wondering if there would be any way to run Backtrack in the webtop and if our wifi card in the atrix supports injection? I'm not too familiar with linux but I knew backtrack runs on linux. Didn't know if this is something that could be done but thought it would be pretty cool.
Thanks in advance for any answers/efforts in this!

Now, the only other question I have is, Does the wifi card in the atrix support injection?

Let me first start by saying the rom doesnt boot completely. It boots all the way to when the screen dims and vibrates, when it is about to display lockscreen.. Logcat shows everything installing and starting correctly.. It wasn't hard to get to this stage, so it gave me a little bit of confidence in this awesome project.. Froyo was my favorite android version, as it was a huge upgrade for my old hero.
I thought it would be hilarious to release cm6 for the nexus s, heck I would have run it for the rest of my nexus's lifetime.
So, let me know what you guys think.. keep digging around to get it booting or give up because its old news..
If anyone wants to help for just a fun proof of concept project, or just to poke around, lemme know, the more the merrier
That is all. Waste of a thread, but that is what the general section is for.
LOL in this time and age running froyo is like going back to xp from windows 7. But yeah as a proof of concept its kind of interesting;-) What would be really interesting, is running gingerbread on the gnx
Oh wow.... I don't even know what to say.....
I would absolutely try this out
I'd rock cm6 on my nexus. For "old times sake" it's like banging your ex.

They are incompatibility. Because Nexus S is the first Gingerbread-device, Androi 2.3.0 is the lowest compatibly OS version.
You also can't install System V(AT&T's Unix system since about 1970) in your computer.

Yes this is true, but the point is that its almost booting.. I knew this from the start, it will require back porting drivers and probably a few kernel edits, but it may be possible.. in the end its just Linux running on a few upgraded drivers and a few kernel changes..

Not without doing some back porting.
This is much easier to do from Gingerbread back to Froyo though, since you are building something to run on the same hardware and software stack (ARM and Android 2.x). The most difficult part would be getting drivers to work, but just as older drivers are made to work on new OS versions with shims and other tricks, in theory this is possible, if not a lot of work.
I'm not sure what will be gained though. Gingerbread didn't seem like a significant resource drain over Froyo, so I can't imagine there are any speed/power gains.

Yeah not really much to gain, but how awesome would it be to be able to be able to add to the list of things that can run on the nexus s.. and froyo on the flagship gingerbread device? against all rules
Swamp i will join you even this is a complete stupid idea we can do it for the fun. And if this work i know a couple of good froyo roms to port so may i join you

In all seriousness though, froyo would make a great ROM. and It should in theory be faster than GB.

Great Idea! I also thougt already how older Android Versions would run on the Nexus S.
When 2.2 is running, you guys should start porting 1.6 ;-)
Doesn't it help, that the similar SGS already was running 2.2?

Yeah, its funny because I tried porting a froyo touchwiz rom from the og epic, and it got to pretty much the same place when booting haha.. hopefully I can get this working, along with other variations of froyo, that would be the greatest achievement for me in any android related stuff.

to be honest, it's not much really, almost nothing works correctly, and a whole ton of work is needed to make it stable and work right. unless the MyTouch 4G is your secondary, "toy phone", i wouldn't recommend you use it. very buggy indeed lol.
We don't have it yet because ubuntu os is built largely on CM10.1. That is a ***** to build for non-official CM devices (we were official for cm7), it'll get built eventually but in the meantime, its probably a waste of time building.
