[Q] same rom different device - Android

Hi,

why can't I flash a rom designed for galaxy s I9000 on galaxy s 4g(SGH-T959V) aren't they suppose to be just slightly modified?
Thanks
Alon

The devices may be similar but ROMs are compiled using proprietary files that are devices specific. koush is working on support for CM look here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_galaxys4g

Please consider a donation for a Galaxy ACE to Team-Blockbuster for development

Hey ACE-users,
Some of you contacted me and requested if i would like to develope for the Galaxy ACE and help you to solve some problems. Because of this and because of the fact that a friend of someone out of our Team bought one I started developing.
Problem is that we have not really a device we can use for developeing (we can´t use our friends every time ^^) and especially things like ICS Porting or Kernel developing needs one (we must test the files for working first).
So now BlockBuster Team would like to know if the user community here is interested in donating a device to us for development.
I mostly developed for the Galaxy S before, but also for Galaxy SLC (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/ics-ported-to-galaxy-s-i9003/) Galaxy 3... Mostly I´m developing by myself (kernel, scripts, tweaks, custom roms) but I teach other people who want to learn developing, too (like 5pace) . Check out my Threads, my Tutorials and our Homepage. I´m currently waiting for Galaxy S 3 release, so i´ve now the time for your device.
So what do the users of this community think? Let us know your opinion in this thread. If you want we can create a Paypal account and you can start to donate.
Maybe there´s someone here who doesn´t need his Galaxy ACE any longer - if it´s working it would be the easiest way for us to become one if you send it to us.

@Mods: I wasn´t sure if i should post this in Developement section. Finally i posted it here cause it´s a request - something like a quuestion If you think it´sin the wrong one feel free to move it
Up for you.
Please remember, the users of 'your' S5830 forums contacted me...
BTW, any people that might want to help me with a ICS port?

There is a MASSIVE difference between the S5830 and an i9003.

Don't think we should port it at the moment. 1, it's just an sdk and 2, I believe it's for OMAP processors at the moment. Wait for source?

How to build your own ROM for SGA?

Hi,
I am a newbie when it comes to ROM development for android. I have been a avid fan of all the development work that you guys do and wanted to contribute.
So, I thought of building my own ROM and in process learn how this thing works exactly.
I am decent enough Java Developer, and a full time Linux user. So technicality is not a problem. But i have some very basic doubts?
1. Where to start?
2. How to reach to the level where i can build my own ROM.
3. What are the places I can refer to.
I was thinking of picking up the code of cynogen mod and build something different. At this moment i don't know what different.
Anyway, the point is I want a guidance. specially where to start?
ur posting in wrong section mate. question shouldnt be here in dev subforum.. btw
1 - ur already started by showing interest
2 - thats not a hard thing, anyone with linux experience can build their own rom. rom using stock samsung's as base is much easier. unpack, deodex, edit apk's, repack, profit. rom compiled from source eg aosp and cm is much harder.
3 - here. i think xda alone is enough for tutorials and such. u just need to know where to look. sometimes what we need is buried deep down under all this thousands of thread and post created everyday. thats when search button came to the rescue.

Thanks a lot!
Actually I got interested in this when I saw my friends Galaxy S2 running Miui, and I want it to run on my Ace!
I know about limitations still I want to try.
I will search xda for information. But if you have any docs or have links bookmarked, can you please share it?

Actually MIUI has not yet been ported to any ARMv6 devices (AFAIK). How I am going to do it, I have no idea. If anyone knows anybody working on this, and has made even littlt progress, please let me know.
edit:jazux of Team GreenMods is working on porting MIUI for Galaxy 3. Will that help us anyway?

[Q] Is there a Dev working on CM 10.1 on Galaxy Note?

Does anyone know if there is a Dev working on CM 10.1 for the note? I know there are some issues with porting between 10 and 10.1 but didn't know if there was someone I might throw money at?

Thanks for being unhelpful and not pointing me at that reading you mention. I have been reading what I can find for the last 2 months and thought i would just ask if there was a developer working on it so I could then go do more reading based on that information. I don't normally post questions to things I can easily find. Also this IS the Q+A section... Also Also I asked about CM 10.1 not CM 10 which is what I am currently running.
2 months of reading, and you haven't found any info about CM 10.1? That is odd considering that this subject has been discussed many many times in many threads. CM10.1 is not going to happen anytime soon.
I assure you, this has been asked and answered many times

Way to be a db about it. The QA section is full of questions that have been asked multiple times. I wasn't asking when CM10.1 was going to happen, just if a developer has taken it up yet. And show me this magical post that has my answer? I did multiple searches. I have been on the internet since you could only get it on a BBS and have been a systems admin for 10 years. I know how to search for things.

Well then good luck to you sir. Hope you find your answer .. No need to start calling names .. This ain't High School and I'm not getting into a flame war with you.
Have a good weekend.
I'll answer it,
Yes...
Devs are working on it, over at Cyanogenmod.
But no, we dont have it for the galaxy note 1, as we lack the source code to make a bootable build, mainly due to the lack of kernel source.
And until samsung is kind enough to give the code, then no 10.1 roms will exist for us.
I hope this helps, and yes, we all want to see 10.1, but the odds are not in our favor....g

We don't have kernel source for JB 4.1, yet we have CM10. So what makes CM10.1 different?
I've seen a few phones that have CM10.1 that do not have JB 4.2 kernel source - ATT Samsung GS2 and HTC Inspire for starters. When I had an Inspire we had CM9 without ICS kernel source.
from the moderator
This has been addressed over and over...... To answer Yes there are a couple of people who are toying with porting CM10+ to the Note....... But that said, they have priorities in life and my guess this is down the list

[Q] Anyone herd about official CM for HOX+?

Have anyone herd if cyanogenmod are planing to officially add hox+ to officially supported devices?

And if you had done a search you would have found the thread talking about the differences between official and non official CM and how negligible any difference is. If you would have decided additional comment was necessary you could have then added to that conversation.
In the meantime you can check the original android development thread. Lior did a great job with his CM10 builds

Yet again i repeat: iam not asking about the differences.
Iam asking about the fact it self: do they (cm) plan to do it?
This is not about anything of if there is cm on hox+ or not.
I know there is (unoffcial ports), i know they work very good... iam aware of all that!!!
Iam just asking a simple question... Just the fact it self if they plan to do it or not! Thats it.

Clearly when it has been explained in the posts above, you must know your answer by now: no one knows. Now I know this doesn't REALLY answer your question but I think you can assume it probably never will

Actually you did answer my question more or less.
Before you i was searching google for 20mins and dint find any info at all regarding it (also it take a lot of time to filter info thats about hox+ not hox). I just wanted to know cm's state on it, thats all. No disrespect to any unoffical ports what so ever (heck, u can be sure that i probably try most of them).
Thank you for somewhat answer.

About G2 development...

Hi, i have noticed that the available aosp roms are pretty stable and they came super quick to the device.
My question is; how and why is it like this, is the G2 developer-friendly or are they just "cheating" or bypassing something i dont know about?
I also wonder how the G2 is compared to the N5 regarding development of roms and such..thanks in advance.

The G2 smokes the N5 regarding development of ROMs and such... Because there are NO ROMs for the N5!!!???
And they're totally cheating. That's why they're developers. Why ask how or why and just hit the thanks and DONATE.

Hello mr. obvious, fyi. i have donated several times to different devs (you could have asked first) and i ask because i am curious (duh!)

I understand your question and from what i know is that phones utilizing qualcom chips are easier to develop for because the sources are available unlike exynos.

There is no cheating if developers find the correct drivers and sources they can port ROMs easily. Nexus 5 just came I'm sure in a few weeks it will be flooded with ROM and Kernels.
