I would like to request devs to port a Galaxy S rom to Nexus S because of the media codec support and the touchwiz interface.
The Touchwiz UI alone is not enough because it misses all the useful additions that Samsung integrated into the ROM.
Buying a galaxy would be the best solution?
Dude it cost me a fortune to buy my mum a "star" god knows how much a galaxy will be!
I know what you mean but I think a galaxy rom would be a big downgrade on nexus....no gingerbread
Porting a galaxy s rom to the nexus s would be extremely hard if not impossible.
As the galaxy s runs android 2.2.
But since its the same hardware there is a possibility.
Who needs all them codecs when u can convert videos with Handbrake that work perfectly on the Nexus S.

I second this... most of you probably never owned a galaxy s phone to even realize what you're missing
But judging by the lack of development here and the fact they moved this to general were most devs to even look
i doubt it will happen
wish Eugene373 had a NS

the only thing I miss about my vibrant is the camera options and the ability to record in 720p. It was probably the best quality I ever seen for a video camera on a cell phone. Besides that, nexus s, owns

yup loved the touch focus
cant do 720p thanks to hardware limitation blame Google becasue they wanted to implement NFC crap the pretty much replaced the HD chip and Micro SD slot area.
But yea no doubt NS still better phone just wish we could utilize it for what its worth
I'm running CM and I do miss some things. Codecs, HW accelerated browser, touchwiz, swype... But it's not worth the crap that it comes with. RFS lag and flaky lagfixes, bloatware that's hardwired into the framework, interface lag (no JIT, makes a huge difference). Basically it's not a good tradeoff. Once I have voodoo sound and swype back I'll forget Samsung ROMS.

The movies I've converted look good enough. Nothing over 2gb works but think about it......its a phone not a home entertainment system. It works great as a portable device. If I want to watch something in full HD there are better ways than a 4 inch screen.
Maybe when the new Vibrant 4g gets a 2.3 update

Instead of reading previous posts and realizing why it hasn't been ported yet.
But hey, if all of you want it so bad why don't you learn to code for android and port it yourself?
Hey Community,
Due to the company I work for being great. They have allowed me to borrow a working SGS2 for the night. So tonight I will be taking requests for anything people would like me to try out within reason. If you have a request post it or PM me
For anyone who has questions about my honesty (not that I'm totally offended hearing there's past issues) here are some photo's...
music quality?
one word, GPS
pics or it didn't happen.
no, but seriously. some non-marketing pics would be nice.
is it retail? (logo on the front?)
Loud Speaker loudness and clarity please.

Gotta see pics. Folks don't want another masumali/hero yu situation
Get a piece of paper, write your forum name on it and take a photo with both the SGS2 and that paper on it. Then we're serious. Btw this is no offense but due to others claiming they had the phone when they didn't
If that's done then please try out the new Hubs that Samsung has integrated, then test the sound quality of the speakers AND if you connect good earphones.
Thx
why not make a video review and put it on youtube? Test the GPS
Please check if the browser render text on websites
if it is the retail or at least the android 2.3.3 version, please do a nenamark benchmark and test some heavy web pages with flash on the browser

Looks like you got an early pre production version of the SGS II if we look to the Android version. Newer versions of the SGS II run on Android 2.3.3. Anyway, I'm happy for you, I would love to get a SGS II in my hands.

How good is Touch Wiz 4.
What are the drawbacks that you have noticed so far on the phone?
Can you confirm file system and see if the bootloader is locked?
Is there any lag?

Drawbacks so far is it is a bit laggy especially on boot but no where near what the vibrant was upon release..

Yep, I know. But there are different 'types' of pre production models. There are those from WMC that got Andoid 2.3.1 and you got newer types that run on Android 2.3.3.
So if you run a benchmark, the result would probably be low, because the software isn't fully optimized on your type/version.

Has anyone tried to port the evo view to the nc? I had the chance to play with one and I think it would port well as it is gb based and it is on a 7" tablet.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
No offence, but... why?
1) The nook is running a VERY well established version of GB, so we stand nothing to gain there
2) The hardware is so different, it is a huge undertaking to make it work (why do people mention the screen size as if it is important? The important thing is native resolution..); again, we have a good working GB.
3) The only thing you might possibly want to get is Sense, but that will be tightly integrated into the framework, again, making it difficult.
Really, there is almost nothing to be gained for the community with such an undertaking.. its not worth giving a second thought to.
No offence taken! Thanks for such a quick response. I should have been more exact in my initial post, but yes, the sense ui is what I am most intrigued about. The view that I used had a form of sense that seemed uniquely tailored to the tablet form factor. Also, I only mentioned the size because, as a tablet, at 7" it too does not have HC and all of the compatibility issues that come with it.
Thanks again for the response.

If any of you have seen the inFini Sense thread, then you know that this kind of stuff is really hard. The main problem: All parts of HTC Sense on the View look for a 3G/4G radio. Hmm... the Nook doesn't have that, right?
Edit: That said, it doesn't stop me from trying to port it.
Hello,
There are versions of both the view and flyer that don't have 3g/4g and only have wifi. The resoultion of both is 1024x600 on a 7" screen. The only problem I can see is the kernel and ramdisk, to have the rom boot. Correct me if I am wrong.

The Evo View and Flyer are exactly alike, just color change. Why would they want to release a black Flyer? It looks ugly IMHO.

I had started to port the Wifi only Flyer ROM a few months back but got busy with school and work and never got around to it. I've got 2 weeks off between the summer semester and the fall semester, though, so with 40-50 hours of work and a wife that I want to spend time with, I probably won't get around to it, either. But of what I did get, there were some major kernel problems that needed to be worked on. Sense requires certain things in the kernel that I just didn't have time to figure out.
As a side note: The Tablet Sense rom is HUGE! Like MASSIVE. Like require 1GB of dedicated SD storage for it (before debloating it.)

Thanks for the tip. I'll strip open the Sense kernel.
im sure if any of you all were to get a Evo View or the Flyer ROM working on the NC then there would be a nice following. I mentioned it in other threads when people was talking about it and didn't get a very nice response. Ive been modding WinMo phones for a very long time but just have been getting into modifying a NC because i wanted a tablet but didn't want to spend all that money on one. Especially since once you start flashing ROM s they are very addictive. Also if a new tablet comes out i like to say i have that same setup on mine basically without unloading the bank acct.

I've got an HTC Evo and a Nook Color running CM7. You can get a similar feel to Sense by installing the ADW EX launcher and Fancy Widgets on your Nook. My Evo has 7 home screens, while my Nook has only 5, but it's still quite nice. And ADW has some attractiuve transition effects when you flip between home screens. Bumping the CPU to 1.2 Ghz helps, but it's usable even at stock speed.
There currently couple of ICS Roms now in our forum (MIUI, Virtuous, CM9, and CG). But my question is, I am a real beginner when it comes to phone system devs, so, when I tried all the newest version of each ICS Roms, I do not feel any major differences. The camera does not work, same issues with crashing, slowness, and etc. I am not complaining about the issues and bugs, but I am wondering what's the difference between each rom? Are there any major difference? And what are we expecting next for the rom? Camera?

OK first of all MIUI ICS is much different then the other ics roms there is more customization in a much easier way and a whole different experience even thought they come from the same source I believe. Now when is comes down to the difference between virtuous and CM9 is the mods and other stuff that you won't notice I personally like virtuous it looks more professional with the mods such as the setting toggle in the notification bar its just me. CG is more of a stock experience so you won't see any mods just pure stock experience. That's the major changes I see and with the bugs I don't really know but there all being worked on with pretty much Feb so if camera doesn't work with one it won't work with the other just give him time I'm sure its coming very soon

This is where I get partially confused, i was running MIUIce Cream Sandwich (ICS v4.0.1) and have had NO issues whatsoever, the camera works, video recording works, and it is fast as all get out (3200-3300 quad consistent o/c to 1.5GHz). I was trying (and failing thus far) to find the camera framework, and hardware ID information from this ROM and inject it into one of the new ICS ROMs we have available.
what all would i need to pull from MIUIce cream sandwich in order to get a working camera in any of the other ICS roms? i know at least i would need to pull the camera .so files from system/lib, but is there any other completely necessary files that should be pulled to get this to work?
im really hoping that a dev stumbles across this and could point me in the right direction, because the camera CAN work, and i have a feeling i am really close to getting it to work, but i don't have the know how (quite yet) of the more experienced devs here.
i really wish it was as easy as my GS4G was when GB ROM leaks started surfacing, that was a 5 minute fix once the right tools came along lol

I believe that you are running a hybrid version that isn't really ics if your camera is working. This would explain why you aren't having the same problems as others running ics roms.

foxxx50h, were you running the now discontinued Galnet Miui release? If so, I know what you mean. Since I was using that and it was great. The only serious glitch was that the market place crashed whenever you tried to preview the pics.
If you want something like that, Dark_Sys released a newer version, but it reads a GB code and not ICS. And it's quite good and stable. Everything works too. Super great on battery.

Then you can buy a Gnex or wait I know I'm starting to envy the Gnex. I'm just waiting for the HTC Ville which (Should) be unveiled at MWC towards the end of this month..It should be an absolute BEAST
i've been using creamed glacier since december as a daily. two main issues on it are the camera and low mic volume - though that comes and goes.
quattro was a mess for me. once booted the setup routine would crash out and widgets would constantly crash the launcher no matter what i tried.
testing out cm9 right now. big problem is that launcher (NOVA even) crashes a lot. otherwise call volume is great. runs decent. one great thing there is that it actually contacts google and restores apps. plus i received an email from google congratulating me on my purchase of a galaxy nexus

Hello,
XDA and other sites have broken news on new features in KitKat and one of them is that its made for wearable devices with as low as 512MB. Our Desire Z has 512MB so this will be great news Obviously our processor still lacks and GPU drivers are sticks and gum but something is better than nothing.
I was excited to hear this when I first read that about KitKat. I'm quite excited to see if anyone out there is gonna work on a ROM once everything needed to port it over is available.

The team at Cyanogenmod has commented that this wont mean a revivial of old devices since a lot of things (drivers) are needed besides RAM but needless to say in my opinion and seeing what Jelly Bean brought to the table, I think its a good sign of things to come.
Sadly, there are few really active developers on JB/Desire Z. Lets hope someone comes out with a KitKat ROM.
Speaking of KitKat, here is a lot of the stuff ripped from the Nexus 5 ROM, I personally have all of them running on CM10.1 Andromadous (I think that's the right spelling.) Hope it helps people! bit. ly /1arIQCU (via DroidLife)
I would be very surprised if Kit Kat is ported to this wonderful device. The fact that it has been ported anything beyond Ice Cream Sandwich is astonishing already, so whether they support Kit Kat or not I'd still be happy until a true hardware keyboard phone comes out.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I would be really happy to see KitKat ported over. I mean even if it isn't I'd be happy running either CM10.1 or the Gslim 1.6 ROMs, but I hope that since KitKat supports lower ram that it helps performance wise. I'm tempted to try and get into developing roms but I'm quite a newbie when it comes to that.
i hope that somebody make it for our device
I'm a newbie as well when it comes to development, but if i have the time and someone ports 4.4 to a similar device (desire HD perhaps) then i'll definitely attempt to port 4.4 to the g2. I love my old g2, when i had to send my GS3 back do to a defect in the screen I used my g2 for 2 weeks and was still impressed with how snappy it was. So yea, I may end up attempting a 4.4 rom at some point. I'll share it here and perhaps some of the better developers can take it and improve on it

But not sure if there is a way to strip the video memory or even have dynamic vram.

Still, seeing as how smooth CM10.1 is even on our device, shows pretty good promise for KitKat in my opinion

I think it's fantastic, once in a while I'll come across a small little hiccup, but that's expected personally for a port. I would make it my daily driver but I use Gslim as my daily rom only for battery life because not around my charger much, otherwise I'd be running CM10

I meant just trying to start with that, but it's far away from being so easy. I have no experience! and we need drivers!

Oh oh oh, I understand what you meant now. I was still waking up when reading that, I'l use that as an excuse. I'm slowly teaching myself how to port over roms, I'm probably going to end up buying another secondhand G2/Desire Z as a test device so I don't bork the one that I use daily
cm11.0
I'm currently working on getting cm11.0 4.4 to build. I Had it built already and a new version of cwm recovery 6.0.2.8. The rom starts but there is no splash for the time being. Don't even have permission to view the log cat. Been working off of nevergone's stuff. What recovery version do you guys have?
For your guys proof
github - adknight87
I'll upload the new cwm-recovery image on dropbox if anyone wants to try it out lol.

I can't get it to build anymore for some reason and I lost all my work I still have the zip but it doesn't boot. But I got
https dl dropboxusercontent com/u/70782275/cwm-recovery-6.0.2.8.img
I can't post in the dev side of the xda here but where can I find the work gits for someone working on cm11.0 for this device I'm trying to get this thing to work again. Also is there a irc room for the group?
I figured the cwm version that built worked with the new set_metadata in the updater-scripts for the 4.3 and up
I would like to help with, (attempt to) coordinate, and start the development efforts for KitKat/CM11 on the G2.
I can beta test, build, and debug/reverse-engineer where needed.
I'm getting a build environment prepared, so it will be a bit until I crank out builds.
