Hey guys just wondering if you can use Vibrant roms, or any other galaxy S roms on other devices specifically the Epic 4g.. Thanks
Possibly no. When Eugene made his ROMs, he makes a semi-revision of his ROM to make it compatiable. Hence Hybrid has three different versions to his ROM: Captivate, Vibrant, I9000. Stick to the Epic 4G forum for development, the tweaks here may work and may not work. So just be careful.
I don't really follow Epic 4G development, but is there at least Clockwork Recovery for it? I couldn't find anything about that. That is the next step that Epic 4G needs, you guys already have Root access.

So don't want anyone to get uppity, I am not a dev but have been following the android dev scene for roughly a year with the utmost respect for developers.. Here is my question, outside of the obvious dragons faced when trying to port a European or International Galaxy s rom for use with our Vibrants, why don't we Vibrant owners see more port attempts or even a lively community of ported roms as seen for the Captivate... Is it the willingness or know how of the Captivate devs or is it just not possible for the Vibrant due to further complexities? From what I was following a while back Eugene had some problems porting a 2.2.1 rom and Heathen also had problems with soft reboot issues in his attempt... However over in the Captivate section there are a number of ports and even working BLN kernals... Are Vibrants capable of the same kind of development? Also we saw a short lived appearance of BLN kernals, does anyone know what happened? Thanks for any insight..

The reason for lack of ports is that Vibrant really doesn't have a strong following of devs (TW, Eugene, Master, Heathen to name a few). There are very few full out rom devs for our phones. Thus, they are always busy with contriving their own masterpieces, and with the current release of 2.3 I firmly doubt any port attempts will be undertaken.
Also, ports themselves take massive amounts of work, in addition to bugs and glitches galore.
I just have a quick question. I was just checking out the Galaxy S I9000 forums and they have a lot of ROMs/kernels/Themes/MODs over there and it looks like there are some pretty stable 2.3 ROMs in those development forums. I guess my question is: Do the ROMs/kernels/MODs/Themes from the Galaxy S I9000 development forums work for the Samsung Fascinate?
I'm just confused because I figured any ROM/kernel/MOD/theme that would work for the Fascinate would be posted in the Fascinate's development forum. Thanks.

you cannot flash anything from another sgs phone (save the showcase/mesmerize with some modifications) on the fascinate
some mods have been ported, but the i9000/captivate/telus fascinate/vibrant are all gsm phones...the radio stuff is very very different
even the epic 4g which is cdma/wimax has done very little for us
samsung treats each phone like an island when developing software for it...we are on our own
Sorry but anything not specifically listed as compatible for the fascinate will at least not work and at worst soft-brick your phone. The majority of galaxy s phones are gsm, unlike the fascinate which is cdma. That difference in radio type requires a difference in software so their stuff won't fly on our hardware.

Okay I understand. Thanks for the quick responses.
I recently brought the Galaxy S2 from Straight Talk. And, I thought that it was on ICS already. But, its still running GB. I've been flashing, and testing roms on the sly for a while for my previous phones. HTC Droid Eris, HTC Evo 4G Design, Motorola Defy. And, I know there are different models of certain phones. I hadn't realized until I purchased the phone, and looked at the model number that it was different from the mainstream S2 models. I figured that it wouldn't be a factor since in my mind. Just about all S2 no matter the model number are the same. I was wrong.
In my search for anything about this model. I have came to many consumers who brought this phone that was looking for custom roms. That there aren't any custom roms for it, or CWM Recovery. And, we're stuck with this great phone, and crap stock. I know myself, and many people who own this phone either is just sticking with stock, or on the hunt.
So as the topic of this forum thread indicates. Is any devs going to port over CWM or some Roms for this model? If there is can anyone steer me to it.
Hey all. I searched for an answer to this question, but haven't really found a solid answer. And i'd like to know before doing something that might mess up my new delicious Galaxy Note.
So I just got a T-Mobile Note yesterday (T879) and I rooted it. But when I looked in the T-Mobile dev section, it was pretty sparse. Then I saw that the AT&T and International ones had so much more content.
So, are the ROMS made for the other Notes compatible with the T-Mobile Note? By compatible, I mean, 1) they won't brick my phone, 2) my radios and HSPA+ will still work, 3) generally stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can use +any+ roms in this development section. Some of the roms will make your phone run super slow, but I don't know which ones.
You can use the Canadian roms, but they make the phone real laggy too.
You can use the N7005 rom. Its the internatiinal version of our model.
You can't flash any roms or apk's from the international note N7000 -- that will hard brick your phone.
Hi, that's basically my problem. just have this old Galaxy Showcase sitting around and want to do something with it... but I can not find any information on here... and the Fascinate is pretty close to the showcase. please help me
There are no showcase threads here. There are some on RootzWiki, but we're more active than them.
Way more active. RootzWiki is basically tumbleweeds for us
Showcase and Fascinate are pretty much the same phones but different apns. I have a showcase and flash fascinate roms all the time. Just get rom konverter from rootzwiki and convert the rom to showcase.
