I plan on undergoing this process. As the title says. I believe the XPRT deserves ICS. And I wish to prove it. Anyone interested in helping or following please let me know!
Whoa thanks man! I wish I could help, but I know nothing about these things. Good luck! I would love to see ICS on this thing!

Do keep in mind though that I'm only 17 and still in high school and very frequently busy. I don't have tons of time.

The first task I am currently facing is the kernel. I need to get it from the stock rom. It's the only kernel for this phone and it is needed to run anything.

If anyone wants to join in. I'm no pro and I'm currently suffering from serious allergies or something. Either way I feel like death. This link is a base of what I'm doing somewhat http://apcmag.com/port-roms-to-your-android-device.htm
And I was using a official CM7 7.2.0 rom for a droid x as the secondary. It doesn't seem like the hardest task in the world honestly. Rongsang I think you should take this up. You probably have the skills to do so.
Sent from my MB612 using xda app-developers app
Sure. i'll download the cm7 for droid x and look into it,
I've decided to port CM7.2 rom from Defy as it has similar hardware as XPRT and it was previously successfully ported to Droid Pro. But I'm still unable to boot. Need some help.
Why are you unable to boot?

You have the kernel right? You cannot mix two different kernels. It will only work one device. So since no one has developed a kernel for the xprt you have 2 choices. Build your own. Or extract it from the stock.

This...actually doesn't look hard to do at all.
Sent from my MB612 using xda premium
It looks easier than it is. I'm still not able to make it boot. Its a bit harder with locked bootloader and 2nd-init. Can't seem to find a guide to port locked bootloaders with 2nd-init. Need somebody with experience to start off this project.

May I ask are you using the boost or sprint model?

Maybe we should post this on the CyanogenMod forums to see if someone more experienced can help.

Hi! Im a noob and I dont mean to spam or anything like that but does anyone know if there is or if there will be unbuntu for the tmobile Gs4.Is it possible that there might be a zipfile that you could just flash ubuntu through recovery onto the Gs4. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Once there is a AOSP (or, more widely, primary used by Ubuntu, CyanogenMod) ROM/source code, your good to go to port it yourself, easily.

Do you live in the U.S.

Yes I live in the u.s. I cant port it Im not a dev..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
It's not too hard to port, with some googling and help from the community it should be possible.
If you live in the U.S. you have to think about CDMA and your phone carrier would have to do that. You could port it but it would be a waste of time.

Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 just got staple for the S4. I would be interested in having Ubuntu Touch on my S4 (international lte, jfltexx).
Lets see if I can do this even though I have never use C++ or done anything else on a OS.

It being unlocked has no reference to running it on AT&T.
Tmk there was a boot loader issue. Maybe it was w the Note 3 though

Which one do you guys think is better
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Try them both and decide for yourself which one you like better. Just as an FYI, "what's the best rom?" threads tend to get locked really quickly.

I just want opinions
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
But they aren't productive to this community. In a way you put one ROM down. Its not respectful to the devs. So the best answer we can give you is to try them both for a few days each and see how they run. BTW , I believe, they are both going to android 4.3 right now which is still buggy.

When I try to view the S4 accessories forum on my S4, in the new XDA premium app, I get Sent to something else... Any ideas?

Not using premium, but I get to the correct forum. Might be something with premium
I have the old premium on my E4GT, and it takes me to the correct places... It might be the new app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I noticed the same thing with the new app. I am sure it will get fixed once they kniw about it (if they dont already). Maybe there is a xda forum post about the app to let them know/see if it has already been brought to their attention.

Also the forum rules aren't accessible either. Very laggy and kinda slow in general

I haven't tried it. I know Tim said he tried it and it booted and everything. However, there is no phone signal and it only works on WiFi.

Yea I'm pretty excited about it but unfortunately there's not much development going on for our device right now. (Well at least not much that I could find anyway) The last bit that was released was in June/July and I couldn't get it to boot on my phone sadly but with the upcoming public release of Ubuntu Touch on the the 17th, hopefully we'll see an increase in development. I would love to have this as a daily driver if data would work on it.

Has anyone tried this lately? I would love to see a functioning build... I would try it but last time I ran into trouble and had to use Matts utility... As I don't have access to a PC I'm a tad hesitant to give it another flash
