Is it possible to use SGS2 ROMS with the Skyrocket? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Nope, different hardware means you need different drivers, etc... to run it. The bootloaders are also different so flashing an I9100 rom onto your skyrocket will brick it.

You'd best check the skyrocket development forums here on XDA. The best chance you have of getting what you want is if there's a SGS 2 ROM port there.. Good luck!

Att SGS II forum?

When the SGS II is release on ATT next weekend(10/2) will there be a new section(general, themes apps, dev, etc) for it? Or will it go in this forum along with the international SGS II? I believe the ATT SGS II model number is SGH-i777
Anyone? 10 char
Ive been wondering about this too
I would imagine there will be different found as roms from the international version shouldn't work fully on the at&t version without modifications.

+1 for AT&T version.
The S2 forum here is already quite confusing.
Although I do remember reading somewhere for a thread to be started it was like 1k members had to show interest or something like that...

Agreed. I'm guessing it will be much like the I9000 forums and I897(Captivate, etc) where some some things will work but will need to be tweaked a bit to work on the carrier version of phone(ATT).

(Q) Flashing i9000 and nexus s Roms

Can I flash ice cream sandwich roms from the galaxy s i9000 , then flash an ics vibrant kernel, modem and key mapping ?
What about the nexus s ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know its possible to port a I9000 but i'm not sure about Nexus S.
There is a guide lurking around here I know that about the I9000 search it. I'm on my phone right now, can't do much.
Yes for i9000 since hardware is almost identical. You can straight up flash a i9000 rom with only minor issues.
Not the same for Nexus s would take work on rom to make it compatible. same CPU at least but might have to change some other drivers.

I was also asking myself this same question. Thanks for the info. It would be nice if someone could give some more info on getting the nexus s roms to work.

[Q] Is there a way to use non at&the roms on the i747?

The title basically says it all. It looks like the SGS III models for other carriers are a little ahead of us as far as roms are concerned. My question: is there anyway to make sgs 3 roms from other carrier variants a possibility?
I'm thinking it might be as simple as just making sure the kernel and modem are stock at&t, but want to find out for sure before I try experimenting. Big thanks to anyone who can answer.

If you want to use a rom from the i9300 on your US variant then you are sh*t outta luck. Not gonna happen.
As far as using roms from other US variants on your at&t version then you would be better off asking in the forums for the US variants, not here.

We have a completely different SoC.
So no, it is not that simple.
Don't even try it, I've seen some ask a try anyway.

Developing ROMs?

Hi, I was interested in building an ICS ROM for the galaxy player 4.2. After compiling ICS from the source, what steps do you need to take to make it into a ROM?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid it's not THAT simple. AFAIK, there is a lot of work to be done before a booting ICS can be achieved. If you have no prior experience in android ROM development, I don't think this is a task you should take up right now. ICS compiled from the AOSP will not work on the 4.2 without modification and an ICS kernel, both of which are far beyond my current technological skill. Also this should be in general. Yes, I know it IS development related, but this IS a development site. Questions belong in the general thread. Thanks.
Odp: Developing ROMs?
Well starting by practice is good way imo. I did so But wothout knowledge, you have to be extremely patient
Send from sg wifi5.0 with mine kernel
I understand, maybe I can look at how it was achieved on the other players and it might be similar?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't look at the other players, as the 4.2 is pretty different from the 4 and 5. Try finding another Samsung product with similar hardware. Example: the galaxy player 5.0 is very similar to the SGS i9000 , Nexus S (crespo), and GTab p1000.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Okay, but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 is similar to nexus s?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
Compare specs. Find out.

Odp: Developing ROMs?
by specs our devices are quite similar, by kernel etc. less but still similar.
I think that good and interesting way of learning is to add same/similar modifications as on crespo/aries and try to understand how does it accually work.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm quite busy at the moment catching up with school work, I'll see what I can do this weekend.
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
Hell, the 4.2 might even get an official update. Unlikely, but possible. IDK if Samsung has made a statement about this, but it only came out last year. (I think)
I called Samsung and asked about official updates and they said the 4.2 won't be getting any because the specs aren't good enough....

Thats a lie. there was a device called the Galaxy Music that had an 800 mHz processor that got JB.
Samsung wont update the galaxy players because they are much cheaper compared to phones (take the s3 for example, it costs 700-800 bucks if you get it without a contract)
I'd suggest reading through the following threads if you haven't already. Then ask about the specific parts there you're not understanding.
[GUIDE] How to port ROMs to the Galaxy Players
[Guide]Rom Development for Dummies (and a few other things)
And I found this one that describes the complete process for the aospa rom. You should be able to adapt the details for whatever rom you're working on.
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance
That won't work until there is a working ICS kernel though. And even after that is completed, work will need to be done on the ROM.

s2+ developemnt forum?

is there officially an android development thread for samsung galaxy s2 plus?
cause it seems like, the s2+ is compliable with custom roms
It would be nice to have development section for sgs2plus.
I cannot wait to flash custom rom on my sgs+ but so far i cannot find any custom roms
Me 2
okay so now we wait
If owners of the S2+ want roms sooner rather than, I'd suggest you all pitch in & buy one of the developers a device. Few devs will make a rom for a device they can't personally put their hands on (You might find a dev who will port/make changes to an existing rom so it runs on this particular device tho).
Sell that ***** and buy real guy I9100

Next your gonna ask how to move apps 2 sd lol. Phone to new to do anything with it. Many people asking about the s2+. Least you lot will get past 5.0.0 we won't
We will get stuffed on 4.2.2

Why selling the phone ? As both phones are identical except the internal storage (gt9100 has 8GB and Gt9105 has 4GB), but who cares about that ? Not Me
So porting the rom shouldn't be that hard ? For someone whos experienced with cooking rom's

BTW my phone is 9105p, not just 9105, but the hardware spec is also the same. Is it okay?? Thanks

9105p means, your phone is nfc enabled, so if don't need nfc you can flash 9105 custom rom, if you can find one
If you do please share it with us

The best thing we can do is sit and wait till some dev will create a rom for sg2 plus.
