hi fellow i9000 users. I was comparing the specs 1 to 1 with our i9000 and nexus s on GSM Arena. Noticed that nothings been changed Hardware view but the entire software has been changed. Samsung left download mode for nexus s so they can also revert to stock whilst google also provides them fastboot etc.
Now if your ready to take a risk and/or have 2 galaxys etc. read on.
What if, samsung gave google the galaxy s reshaped with a contour display? Everythings the same except a dedicated search button whilst we have to hold the menu button. This might sound stupid. U can laugh troll etc. but can someone try risking there galaxy s and flash the nexus s odin package onto there galaxy? What if it works . Let me know what you guys think.
Wouldn't the drivers be different?

This is silly. The phones are similar, but not the same. Nexus s on sgs project from supercurio already attempted this.

so it worked? I might as well flash as well . That could of been our gateway to fastboot, AOSP Ginger and future updates by google themselves. Codework should have focused on this more. So Can i flash? IS it safe? Is the phone still recognised by the computer? Download mode still works after?
they're far from being identical, in fact most of the hardware is different, just similar specs

Try it and find out. Just make sure you have a USB JIG incase the download mode doesn't work.
there are many ports out there semi-working on the SGS so the Nexus S port could well work.
Im running CyanogenMod and when i plug it into my USB port, it recognises my phone as Nexus S... Whether thats drivers or software i dont know.
But as mentioned earlier. 2.3 Beta is out now, and stable 2.3 will be out anytime...

But don't u want updates from Google and nexus s roms on our phone? That's the problem, I don't have a jig and what if the phone dies completley? I need this phone all the time. People have 2 or 3 galaxy s's so I am appealing them to try it and post results.

Lol i didnt say a nexus s rom will work i just wanted to say supercurio made it working somehow and it wasnt working all. but it started and he could show some stuff
Supercurio's project was a proof of concept, more than anything else. One issue that cropped up was the front-facing camera. The Nexus S' camera used a higher voltage than that on the SGS. A few people had their FFC fried. A few other things didn't work, too.
So the Continuum has no Cyanogenmod what so ever. And the Samsung Admire already has a CM7 like theme and it makes it look and run amazing. it's a newer phone and already has it. Think there is a chance of creating a CM7 for Continuum? Will using The Fascinate CM on Continuum work? How long does it take to create a CM?
Just noticed I messed up the name when asking the question. >.< My apologies.

I think that's entirely false. You guys have the hardware power to run ics easy! And if I could get ics on my locked down d2 you guys can get it on your unlocked continuum.

Any rom port you would have to intergrate the ticker screen into it somehow or mod kernel with out it. Id love to see your port tonight. My continuum service is off so ill beta. I couldn't get my aosp kernel and rom to boot, I'm having same probs with my new phone. Locked bootloader I believe but there is no real forum for the phone. Plus its gb and edify scripts ill have to learn.

What do you need for the kernel? I got it all. Initramfs is in zImage also. Got that too. So let me know

Hey Ciscoo!!
Like Cisco said, it isn't a matter of If or When, but rather it's How.
Our phone has one screen from the top to the bottom of the ticker. There lies the issues. There are no dedicated "Hard Keys", only soft keys located between the main screen and the ticker. The coding needed to not only insert the softkeys(it is already in other ICS builds), but to also position the keys correctly on the screen is very tough. Whether this is located within the kernel or in the framework, i am unsure of as well. To prevent going into to much detain, At one point in time i had the CM7 source downloaded and ready to start compiling and messing around, however the more research i did the more i realized i didn't have nearly enough experience, and eventually i put that project to the side.
Likewise, I now have a DroidX running CM9 and my continuum running debellare is so much faster and more stable that the X. My recommendation? Install one of the stripped down roms we have created, install one of CISCOES themes, and then if you want further mods, install a new launcher.
If you want more, open up the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk; Get a smali decompiler and start looking inside.
Just compiling is much harder than you think.
If i remember correctly someone had moderate luck porting a Fascinate build over and running it. It ran, but didn't "work".
I found this and thought it looked interesting. I wont have time to check it out properly until later this week but if someone else would, please let us know how it turns out.

I'll see if it works on one of the ROMs I could not get to work, otherwise I would rather do the work manually it's harder to do fixes if you don't know what went in.
Seems interesting. Thanks for the heads up

If you look at the .sh in it that will tell you what's ported and what's not. It looked like a little more than a basic aosp port but I just viewed from my phone

After reading through it, it will most likely not work at all for our device without modification. Our device doesn't play well with libandroid_runtime's from other devices most of the time.
And honestly, porting is hardly ever as easy as just copying and pasting. UNLESS you are working with 2 ROMs that are actually the same version. Like using a sense2.1 base to port a themed sense 2.1 rom, or a cm7 base to port a cm7 rom with a few tweaks.

I found that out the hard way.. Even if they are the same version you still usually have to fix a couple bugs and other various things, depending on the device you ported from.
guys which do you think is better stock rom or custom rom? I think custom roms like cyanogenmod performs better than stock and have much more features!
Stock=4.1 very good.4.2=Networks error,random reboots.

Csto custom RMS are everything great about stock, customized to your own needs and tastes
Frankly, its totally subjective. Some swear by stock, and some by custom roms. Then, others by only specific custom roms. The only real right answer is the one you decide for yourself after experimentation. So, start the journey, and enjoy. Youll know what you prefer in no time! Have fun!

I totally agree with this.
Personally I'm a fan of Cyanogenmod. Just straight Cyanogenmod for me but others swear by CM derivatives like Parandoid Android.
I say try some different roms out and see how they work for you. I did this and found myself going back to Cyanogenmod. Now I actually purchase android devices based on whether or not they can run it.
I like CM10.1 so much that I've learned to build it myself and make my own nightlies

I'm rooted but otherwise run stock. I like it. The vanilla Android is why I flashed custom Roms on my old Droid Inc 2 (because I HATED the Sense UI). And I get that vanilla style with stock.
