[Q] Will the i717 ever get an AOSP/AOKP ROM? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello All,
I'm new to this thread as I just came over from the N7000 series of the Note because i just had to have LTE speeds and I must say I miss having the AOSP based ROMs that the N7000 had and was wondering if we'll ever see this for our i717 Notes?

Build it.

pretty sure cyanogenmod is working on CM9 for the note...

Most likely as soon as Samsung releases ICS source code which likely wont be released probably until ICS becomes official.
Its possible the CM team is building based off code from the N7k for the i717 but the phones are different from each other.
There are tons of threads with this very same question that have been started in this thread, I have explained in great detail (as have others) that explain what the problem(s) are, Id suggest starting there.

[ROM_LEAK] AT&T Skyrocket ICS leaked (Same chipset as Note?) [DEVS ONLY] get it here

[ROM_LEAK] AT&T Skyrocket ICS leaked (Same chipset as Note?) [DEVS ONLY] get it here
Not sure where to post this, but as it's ROM related with sources I'm hoping here is the best place.
ICS for Skyrocket ROM leaked, which has to be extremely close to the same code base for the Note's LTE QComm Snapdragon S3 chipset.
Is this something our ROM devs can use for a solid ICS foundation for our Note? If not please forgive my mistake, just trying to help out...

Original source info http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21384-ics-leak-for-att-skyrocket-4g/
Yeah I was reading about this in the Skyrocket forum last night or this morning and was quite excited hopefully we can make something of it and i have no problem donating webspace/storage and money to help out devs.
Belongs in general but thanks for the link
Thanks let see of devs can make this work for the note

leak is cool . but we need kernel source if we intend to port their base to ours so it would be a kernel dev 's work ..
I m thining we ll have a leak soon .. if ics got leaked for skyrocket it certainly exists somewhere for the note .. just need to be patient
Just as well, AT&T released a list of phones that would receive the ICS update. The Note was on it as well as the Skyrocket. All of this bodes well, and further suggest what i was the first to say. We'll get ICS shortly after its released for the international note, the Angry Birds Space app would be a new app....not an update to an existing app like some suggested (this made absolutely no sense to me) and that the premium suite would be a host of s-pen apps and updates (i stated all of this before the video was even close to being released. Im on a roll!!

Maybe we'll get lucky and get a ics kernel source leak for the note soon, so DA_G can work his magic, not like I'm in a rush, I'm enjoying gingerbread but I do miss ICS.

Currently as a phone or gadget, the Note has been impeccable with Saurom. I can wait for ICS. In the end a great phone is a great phone.

I'm still running the stock rom (with DaG's Kernel and supercharger) and my experience has been pleasant. I havent the need to flash a rom yet, but that day is coming soon.. waiting for a better theme for the SolarisPrime to come out
These comments are the antithesis of Dev only^^
On topic: we won't be able to get it booting without a kernel as said previously. And without source out a hacked one would be a mangled **** show so for now we have to wait.
If your interested though gb skyrocket roms boot with one of our kernels. We still needs a new one but it would be something to work on till we get source or a leak
T-mobile galaxy s2 boots with the skyrocket kernel...anybody willing to softbrick to try it out?
I have on my my t989 and my galaxy note. I'm using the galaxy note as my daily driver, but the t989 has the leaked skyrocket rom on it, so there are some things missing. I don't want to rely on it if I bork my note and don't have time to fix it. My Gnex is at home too...otherwise I'd just do it and see how it goes!

Not running Saurom myself right now, but from a GB perspective, I could not agree more. What makes the device great is the device itself. To me, ICS is an A while GB is a B+ at absolute worst, so like you, I will gladly wait.

This. GingerBread is hella stable now. Having a few HoneyComb devices laying around makes ICS seem sorta lack luster.

I used holo and da_g when I tried and it boots I didn't try with skyrocket kernel mainly due to the likelygood of no spen support. Although you never know. I have work all day otherwise I'd try again

If cm9 is on the touch pad which uses the snapdragon just as we do, and we have a ics leak why can't we have cm9 yet?

I'm guessing it's the lack of kernel source.
But they don't have kernel source for ics on the epic 4g touch either... They built a tweaked Gingerbread kernel to run cm9. And I couldn't tell a difference it ran a amazingly

I was thinking that it was the lack of kernel source, but I don't know based on the modified GB kernel post. CM9 would be awesome though. I like to keep things as stock and clean as possible. I don't even put aftermarket parts on my car LOL.

you know what devs we need here , the devs from the htc leo/hd2 that took a windows mobile phone and turned it into a development phone that could run any 5 OS like a champ, I had CM9 on my hd2 for 2 months before I got my Note and I ran AOSP ICS prior to that for a month and it's smooth as hell. We never had any kind of actual source for anything for it, actually devs were porting everything from the nexus one/nexus s/sensation/evo/incredible/desire hd and made it work , hacking all kinds of kernels , so yeah there were issues when a new port would come out like camera not working(most common issue) but never the less it always came around, now our biggest downfall is the fact that samsung decided to use two different processors with the two versions of the note, if they only would have used the same processor it would have definitely be a different ball game, it would be one forum and all the devs for the n7000 and the i717 would be working together and we would be using cm9 from the great dev imilka from the hd2 forum.
Agreed. I wish I knew how to dev. On the original evo we had great devs also... These devs just rather sit around and wait for the easy way I guess. Idk.

well I'm no dev but I'm working at trying to make the necessary changes and hopefully get imilka's cm9 booting up in our notes, but I'm confident that with the help from imilka I can get it to boot and hopefully have a working cm9 soon.

No. "ATT Note" implies i717. If they would have just said "Note", that would have been vague. Throwing ATT in there makes it clear as day.

Hello I'm fairly new to Android and I'm just getting to know about flashing and hacking. But what does aokp stand for and what is it, along with cm9. I wouldn't be asking questions but I don't know where to look here. Can someone give me a thread where I can find out about all these terms and what not.. Thank you, greatly appreciated

AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project, CM9 is CyanogenMod 9. Basically they are both similar roms that are built from open source vanilla android, and can be built for basically any android phone so long as a developer is willing to put in the time. They both share some code with each other, yet AOKP tends to have a few more tweaks, and both are crazy fast. They also have a theme engine that allows people to make themes that can be applied on any phone running AOKP or CM9, regardless of which phone.
As for learning other stuff, I point you here for terminology: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22223555
And for how to root/rom go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24539068
I suggest just taking some time on stock to learn the ins and outs of how the stock software works, and reading as much as possible on here, before you try to do anything.

Both are based off of AOSP which is the Android Open Source Project. Google released the source code for Android ICS and developers take that code and make their own roms. CyanogenMOD is basically pure Android ICS but with some extras. AOKP is based on AOSP but with themes, tweaks, etc. They both are different and both very good.
We currently have both roms but unofficial versions of the roms.
AOKP: http://aokp.co/index.php/news
CyanogenMOD: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
An official before source drops Nice. Unofficial still works great though.
I thought AOKP was based on CM9

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.

Well starting by practice is good way imo. I did so But wothout knowledge, you have to be extremely patient

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.

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.

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.

Roms

How come we only have a few ROM's and they galaxy 3 has tons? When can we at least get an official cyanogen?
Uhhh you cant really compare s3 and OG in terms of developments and number of roms.
Obviously s3 has a lot more users than OG.
You shouldnt expect similar amount of developments to be on all devices although we have got some real talented devs.
Have you been seeing ATT OG community for a while?
If you did you must know that for past month there were some bombardment of new developments.
You should be able to see official cm too soon (i hope so too). But cm from nexus 4 ports are very stable and nice too try using then first!
