i'm wondering what would be the best choice of CM9 from other devices to get the port from?
SGSII? NOTE?
please advice.
Seems note has the near the same hardware spec with 7.7, but s2 has the official 4.03 from samsung

I started from the s2 source (see the thread in the dev-section), unfortunately I have gotten really busy with work so I won't really be able to put much time into it right now. If you are interested in working on it, go look at the repos I posted in that thread. I've most recently been trying to get the touch to work properly, however, the driver for it in the 7.7 source code is a complete mess, and more complicated than other drivers that have been fixed for ics.
I have GT-P6800, does same repository apply to it?
All but the android_device_samsung_p6810 should, and that last one should be easy to convert. If you are interested in working on it, I would suggest forking the common ones so that we can share our work easily.
I'm interested in working on a P6800 too.
Well, someone work on port of the Firefox OS into HD2?

No.
You can be first, my friend.
I prefer open WebOS on hd2

I tried to run this, but I can't make kernels
Drivers and libs we can add from android...
that would be awesome:good:

looking frwd for that
If there isn't already anyone trying to port this, I may make an attempt. However, I've never ported an operating system before, so it'd likely take a bit of time.

Yeah, Firefox OS would be nice, but I would agree that Open webOS would be a more worthwhile effort.
Honestly, I would have done it myself if only I knew how to do it.
I would do it of I had an hd2...

me, too. I have the chance to buy it for 100 euros. is it worthwhile?
Simple answer...... Yes even if you don't use it as your daily phone.....Yes
OK since no one is really doing anything
...
I will throw up a build in the next few days that most likely wont work. If anyone wants to test, do it and tell me if it boots or not

This was actually something I'd thought of right away. I tried to cook a few Android ROMS so I know a little something. But unfortunately I don't know how to port Firefox OS. Though Android Kitchen has a function to help you porting the OS. Somebody who can post a link to the download? And Open WebOS?
Edit:
I tried porting the Galaxy Nexus version, but with no luck. I've spent a few hours trying different kinds of methods to make it work. I ended up flashing the thing, but then I got a bad NAND from MAGLDR. I think my boot.img (or zImage) don't work.
Edit2:
Then again, I'm no developer. If a developer could guide me through porting, making/analysing (boot) files, I'd be happy to try again. For now, my try ends here.
Edit 3:
Though this may help a little:
Mozilla's guide to port Firefox OS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Porting
HTC HD2 (LEO)'s manifest: https://github.com/manhthiep/repo-manifests/blob/master/b2g_htcleo.xml
CM's drivers and stuff: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_leo
Tytung's drivers and stuff: https://github.com/tytung/android_kernel_htcleo-2.6.32-ics
It is very good idea. HD2 can run Firefox OS same as Android.
but I am worry about software support for this new operating system.
While that is true, Firefox OS has aimed for low budget devices. Which will probably support only small games and apps. Doesn't mean that it gets full support, but since it's based on linux also, it sure must be easier to port it to FFOS.
While we're at it. Why not try Ubuntu Touch? xD

of course. also Ubuntu is a good choice for HD2 owners.
I hope that we can have Ubuntu or Android on our HD2 devices soon.
Ubuntu and Android are both already available on our HD2's, but you probably meant the Ubuntu Touch and Firefox OS
I used this rom on my Samsung infuse and it would be awesome if a dev could port it to the s4!
If you look on the original thread in the infuse forums you can see step by step instructions on how to port it.
I tries to do it, but don't know how to do step 6.
It turns out I was able to do it on my own!

That rom is AOSP-based. So why don't you just try one of the other AOSP-based roms around here, such as AOKP or SlimBean?

I am currently running Task's AOKP and it is really nice (i found it better than Slim on the s4), but BeanStalk has more features.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to get BeanStalk ported.
Thanks for the reply!

It's not really easy whatsoever to port a Rom that is for a different device especially if the resolution is different for the other Phone.

I am unfamiliar with porting, so it is good to know it's not an easy task.
Thanks for your answer!

That's where source comes in handy...it eliminates a lot of those issues, really all we need is xxhdpi (we should be able to cherrypick that from cm when needed) to be added into aosp and then source porting should be a breeze for the most part - if you know how to build from source that is...actually building a custom aosp rom like scotts, that's a different story
Zip porting is where resolution and all that stuff makes it hard/not possible
Just look at cm...its available on nearly every device...why? Because its got its source up. Basically all you need to do is add in all the correct hardware source, kernel sources, device sources and proprietary files and your good...not saying its easy, as you do need to figure out what you need to add in, as well as edit a few files...but its definitely not really hard (although some of those errors you run into do make you want to throw your computer out a window)
-I guess it is a little hard, but for the most part its pretty much the same for any source port...trial and error your way through errors until it builds
Anyways, I'm sure someone will get around to it...I was gonna try and compile pure aosp...but my dev environment needs to be updated before I can start compiling again (been months since I compiled anything)
If it can be ported to the galaxy s3, than it can be ported to the galaxy s4 (I'm not saying the two are similar, but both are completely different from the Samsung infuse)

Wow this was some great info!
I've never built from source, but I'm going to give it a try with TMO's cm 10 for the s4. Just to get a grip on dev'ing.
Thanks.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like cyanogenmod has the galaxy s4 AT&T github repo up to date. I may just try to build using that source.

Please keep in mind, in order to build from source you must have linux...actually I think Mac works too...but windows won't
Follow the link in my signature, its full of a bunch of tutorials, somewhere close to the top should be a thread called compile jb from ubuntu or something like that...follow that thread to get you started and get you build environment set up
-it is very confusing at first especially if your new to linux, bit once you get going it gets easier
Anyways, good luck!!! The great thing about porting from source is it gets your feet wet, gets you used to the basics with source...and eventually you can get experimental and start creating your own source roms...also, it is kinda addicting lol, for a while I was compiling non stop...I went from a flashaholic to a compileaholic lol...now, I'm neither due to my busy schedule but summer is just around the corner for me so that should change

Just wanted to check in and let you all know that I successfully built cm10 for the galaxy s4! Used the source from the official branch. It's a pretty neat feeling knowing that I built the rom from source (and it's really neat seeing my name in the build date ) :victory:
I'm going to be contacting scott to see if he can help me build his rom. I already synced his repo on my computer, so I'm hoping the rest won't be too hard. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks @mg2195 for the help! :highfive:
I did it!
I am running the latest version of BeanStalk on my s4!!!!
I will make a new thread in the dev section as soon as I get permission. This rom is awesome!
:victory:
Felt like this deserved some attention
As johnny drama would say.... VICTORYYYYYY!!

So I was on the internet searching for Ubuntu mobile OS. I really like the idea of this OS,but I doubt about the viability of this OS when compared to Android. Anyways cutting the post short,I found this video on YouTube which shows Ubuntu OS running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2
youtube.com/watch?v=gY2e0pVfJG4
Many features are not working as its not the official version,but seems to be worth a try and maybe in future it can grow a lot bigger and more functional. What are your views?
I think your looking to bump your post count. Theres already a few threads concerning the Note 2 and Ubuntu touch in the relevant section

When first Ubuntu phones come out with "final" version of Ubuntu Touch I am betting there will be many attempts to port it to various Android smartphones, so try your luck then. Xda has many skilled developers so I believe they will succeed in porting Ubuntu to various other smartphones.
It's no longer only for Nexus 4!

Im waiting so hard... cannot wait anymore i love SailFish design.
Development is getting there, WLAN and Audio is working now, in time, we'll see a ROM.
I'm really exited about this os... hope that jolla releases soon the rom.

The source code has been available on github, from the following link , this has been available for some time, but I lack the knowledge, and time to build the ROM, and kernel.
The kernel is a modified CM11 kernel, and the kickstarter file from the repository should setup the rom with all the repo dependencies (including the actual sailfish os part) that it relies on to work, providing I correctly understand what a kickstarter file does.

Is it possible to port it to galaxy s4 i9500?
If yes, can some port it? or can someone teach me how to port? or is there any tutorial for porting it?
This looks Promising ...
I want that ^^ can't weit till we can get a shot at it
yeah, I hope we will get some news soon, I'd fancy a nexus 5 sailfish-rom most of course
Anyhow, it seems the nexus 5 wasn't that of a good choice imo. Sure, it has good specs for that low price, but owning a Nexus S before I thought the N5 is a good choice also towards support for new roms (like the Nexus S was: you always got new / experimental roms for it first). Now the N5 seems to have bad hardware in the way that it is hard to implement in new roms (e.g. find suitable driver) which is a shame. Well, I'm not sure if I'd buy another Nexus phone again, thankfully there are many alternatives now (the fairphone, jolla phones etc).
Umm.. Guys? The rom has been out for over a month already.
