Hello all,
Just looking for some information here. I recently picked up a Samsung Captivate Glide as a second phone but as of now there's not much development for it.
I'm wondering if anyone can share any information or point me to a guide for modifying CWM for the Glide, or more specifically Samsung phones? I have found quite a few good guides about porting CWM but it seems Samsung is a bit different and I'm having a hard time finding information.
There is currently a VERY similar phone, the Galaxy R i9103 that already has a working CWM and ROM's. Both the R i9103 and the Glide use the same processor and video, the biggest differences from what I can find are that the Glide has the slide out keyboard, a 4 inch screen instead of 4.3, and the i9103 has a physical home button (the glide has soft buttons like the original Captivate).
Anyway, just hoping some of the more knowledgable people here can point me in the right direction. If anyone with experience working with CWM on a Samsung phone can share some info that would be great. I'm willing to do the leg work, just looking for a good starting point and pointers would be nice.
Thanks,
I've looked at a few CWM guides but none have been that helpful for this specific device. It would be really helpful if a knowledgeable dev could help us out a bit.

Hello, i hope this Question is in the right category/place, if not, Feel Free To Throw Candies~ :3
So, i have a Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 Don't Kill Me QAQ7 and from what i saw, It is really similar to the galaxy mini S5770, we even got a Cyanogen port for mini working on galaxy fit, only things that aren't working are the Camera amongst other minor stuff.
My Question is, How do one port roms? and if possible, how to fix the bugs in the rom we already have, note that the two phones are really similar and the port was tested by quite a few people.
Any push in the right direction would help, thank you so much in advance~<3
p.s. i searched everywhere for pertinent info, couldn't find any, was really hesitant to ask ouo
I just got a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 for Christmas, and it's a lot better than my iPod Touch. I've pretty much figured out how everything works, and I've done research on rooting before. I would like to root my device, but there doesn't seem to be clear instructions anywhere. I understand all the risks (I had a jailbroken ipod touch, so I'm fine with the risks that rooting carries).
Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to root my device? I've heard of software like SuperOneClick and Odin, but I'm not sure if any of them work for my device.

Cant figure out how to back up
Hello Everyone,
Ive been trying to figure out how to back up my Samsung for the past 4 hours and can not figure it out for the life of me. If anyone could please give me a very noob friendly guide to doing this. The part i mainly don't understand is using Android SDK and no matter what i search i cant find an answer to it.
My device just just in case its needed
Samsung Galaxy player 4.2
yp-gl1cb/xaa
version 2.3.6
Also sorry for being such a Noob.
I just bought a Galaxy S2 from HSN.com (http://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-sii-no-contract-smartphone-t-mobile/1062786 )
and wish to ultimately use Lycamobile on it but I understand that I have to SIM Unlock it. I also understand it comes with 2.3 I believe and I'd like to go to something 4.2.2.
I've seen a lot of threads but I'm confused as to the exact steps that actually WORK TODAY.
I'm used to my Galaxy Nexus so know a little but this seems a bit different.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
What model number is it; what does the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?
The right direction is the T-mobile S2 forum (T989)
This is the I9100's forum, so yeah, you're in the wrong place.
Ask a mod to move this Q over there.

Hey guys, I just swapped phones to the GT-N7005. I have been going through the forums since morning today and I cant seem to find a definite answer to which new i717 ROMs (if any) are compatible with that phone. I saw that the rooting method is basically the same as the i717. I tried an individual search in some of the most popular i717 around to check their compatibility with the N7005, no luck.
Help would be greatly appreciated at this point, thanks!
I used a few N7005 roms on my i717, so they are compatible.
Hello rangercaptain, thanks for your reply. Would that be possible the other way around? (i717 roms on n7005)
If so, is there a possibility to brick the phone and render the 4G unusable? I read in a few threads that flashing an i717 rom will mess with the modem of the phone since those 2 handhelds are a bit different.
I have been flashing devices since winmo 5 but I cant seem to figure this thing out.
I am a bit (actually a lot) confused, any clarification would be of great help!
(I am starting to regret that trade haha)
Hi everyone,
First thanks to the XDA community I'm new here, even if I know and use XDA forum for a while, and you have been always so helpful!
So I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305), actually running CyanogenMod. I have been looking for tuts or help, in order to port the UBUNTU Touch on my device (I'm quite a noob^^), but with no success... :-/ Apparently things are almost completed for the i9300, but nothing for the i9305, which would be quite different if I'm right...
Is there any news, or any projects to port Ubuntu on this device?
I'm not an expert, but I'll be happy to help in any possible way, for porting Ubuntu Touch to i9305. I know this device is popular (like other the S3 models), and I'm also sure this would be useful for a lot of people!
Thx in advance for your answers and your help (and sorry if my english is not so good...)!
Did you find a way for the Galaxy s4 i9500
Hi, here it is about the S3, which porting project seems to be, like for the S4, more or less abandoned... It is sad and I would be pleased to know the reasons, and if it is possible to "restart" at least some of those projects.
Anyone ?
Dont think so bud
Pretty sure very few currently unsupported or older devices will get ports, what few devs are available will work on more relevant devices. Time for a new phone..
Yes, apparently porting projects are mostly abandoned... That's sad I think, according to the still important part of potential adopters (like me ) who still have their "old" flagships, and do not necessarily want to buy a new expensive phone, at this point of the Ubuntu mobile OS evolution.... but maybe I'm the only one thinking that way?
