What phones would be good candidates to port roms from to use on the fascinate?
I was bored yesterday and tried to port a rom from the samsung epic. My logic is sprint and verizon are both cdma.
Anyhow I got a rom to boot, however i cant get the phone to make calls. Most everything else in the rom works, I tried loading otb kernel on it, that did not help.
I have been using the kitchen package that is in the android chef forums.
maybe the epic 4g would be good?

you will encounter serious issues without heavily editing the rom...many apks will work between sgs phones, but libs/drivers/other files wont without merging a lot of stuff
I found a rom for mezmerize, Heinz 57 rom, was able to port that and have it running, Did a Miui from epic 4g, and that one has the phone not making or receiving calls, looks like most of the mezmerize roms are ported from here.

Generally if you give credit to the creator it's fine. Most of our stuff came from the fascinate side anyway. The heinz 57 rom is well done and is using a lot of the tsm stuff.

I was wondering if there are any developers who are willing to try to get the miui ROM on the N1 and Evo over onto the vibrant. I would love to have this on my phone, and I'm sure there are other people who would like this to be possible too.

Yes, I have seen your theme and I have to say. Good work, however like you said it is a theme but having the entire ROM would be even better but I'm not trying to smash your work or anything just some insightful thinking that's all
Heck yeah man! i would love a MIUI rom for the vibrant!! i wish one is ported to it soon =/
Only problem is that MIUI is a froyo based ROM, and froyo isn't fully functioning on the vibrant yet. It will be much easier to port it over once Samsung releases the official froyo update and we can grab the drivers. Once that happens, though, I would LOVE to see MIUI on the vibrant! I got a chance to play with it on my buddy's droid and it's awesome
What about htc sense?i know ya miss it sometimes lol I had a g1 I miss all the different roms it had smh

yes but correct me if i am wrong eugenes froyo rom through odin is working the only thing that is still wrong with it is that the home and back buttons are switched but like i said i think i am wrong but even if i am wrong cant a dev re-map the buttons when creating/ building MIUI? also was the EVO on 2.2 when they were able to get MIUI? i just havent had time to go check all of the threads.

Yes, anything that had a port of miui has froyo.. The galaxy s line of phones can't get anything but the stock roms to work.. eugene has just removed most of the touchwiz.. After we get a full built from source aosp rom running you can expect some custom ui ports but for the moment all we have is touchwiz or most touchwiz removed..

Im going to try to build from aosp,but this thing seems really tempermental,i thought i bricked it a few times just trying to flash bionix fusion. I was stuck at just a black screen,nothing worked,and my laptop kept saying the usv device has malfunctioned. I ended up plugging it intoace my desktop and booted into download mode blind,after 4 tries it went to download mode,and it flashed back to stock successfully with odin,then i flashed the rom the right way.
basically,if you have a dell d600 laptop,save yourself the frustration of getting Odin to work and use a different computer. I tried on mine and my brother's,both did the same thing.

Strange, I have soft bricked only two times and both times odin worked for me but I have been using bionix since it came out and after trying multiple ROMs I stick with bionix but I just want to play around with miui
Well froyo is supposed to come in November.
So I'm hoping that sometime in December we will get froyo ROMs emerging (CM6 will probably be one of the first).
I just hope some dedicated people at least try to get MIUI on the Vibrant/Galaxy S/EPIC/Captivate/Fascinate. Because if they get one of the Galaxy S phones running, then it will greatly help, the rest of the series.
Before the galaxy s? Is there any hope for a pure gingerbread and it looks like the evo is off and running with it smooth as butter with a minor hitch with gps issues... not sure how that works, the galaxy s and nexus s are almost identical hardware wise.

Looks like a lot of their roms are AOSP (Android Open Source Project) based. This means they can take the direct source of Android and modify their roms to the Evo hardware. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe anyone has built a good solid working rom for the Vibrant off of the AOSP source alone. We've been getting builds leaked from Samsung and modifying them to build the Vibrant roms you see now. I believe Team Whiskey is working on a AOSP rom and Cyanogen Mod is an AOSP rom that they are working on porting over to Vibrant. Master/Devs4Android released an AOSP clone. I believe someone else said they have Gingerbread working and they are just bug fixing at the moment.

Thanks for the insight mate, appreciate it. Just interesting.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would venture to say that the Evo is usually the first phone to have this stuff ported to it. It's a high demand phone to get the best ROM's on so it usually gets them first. Don't get me wrong, I love my Vibrant, and so does Team Whiskey so they're working on 2.3, they have it ported but it's experimental still, they'll let us know when it's working. But as far as CyanogenMod goes, they usually port to the Evo first.
Where is the download link for this rom? When I search "Evo 2.3" I don't get any vibrant roms.
Silly developers forgetting links
</sarcasm>
also keep in mind, once the Vibrant 2.2 source is put out the devs will have easier time porting 2.3 also
How's the battery life on this rom? Can I flash it with clockwork mod? Do I have to disable voodoo?

How is 2.2 source going to help with 2.3 code? That's like saying 2.1 source for our kernels helped us build a 2.2 build for our hardware.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
The point of using the vibrant 4g was to port 2.2.1 to our devices, now that this has been done there is no further need for development from the 4g we have our own 2.2.1 kernel built by our devs here and this allows us to flash new 2.2.1 roms as well as other 2.2.1 roms from the Galaxy S I9000
Hardly a failure if you ask me.

Yeah and its only running on armv7 devices too. I think that's a big issue too.
I was really just testing out the ROM kitchen and seeing how much of a port it could do.
I also tried porting a hero froyo ROM (another gsm armv6 device) and apparently I am not smart enough to figure it out yet.
yeah porting is....yeah
from experience just need a compatible kernel
and then come the modules that are for that kernel, the hard part why i gave up on the espresso port

I was just looking for that thread! I couldn't remember who it was and was wanting to ask them how they managed to get it booted. I guess a mod must have deleted "dead" threads because I was looking for the cm6 build with fm radio for the floyo hero port and couldn't find it either :/
If it was just some dragging and dropping or editing some text files I could probably handle it. Or possibly if I knew what a tmp boot.img was... or status 0... or status 7...
You devs simply amaze me.
And since I'm already rambling.... has any one ever, or is it even possible to, build an aosp ROM from source for the liberty?
Yeah, MIUI is cool but the HDPI/MDPI thing and the ARMv6 kills chances of getting a port. Oh well. I love CM.
An AOSP ROM would be too close to CM for most people/devs to put the time in, in my opinion.
