Team SuperNOva:
Oisis (helped us get over the final issue)
Zaclimon (first kernel dev, did a LOT of the preliminary work)
Neyodmium (helped us sort out that SGS sources that CAN be used for the 4.0, and helped pinpoint what needed to be replaced/fixed)
Me, hanthesolo (Rom dev, I will be providing updates, support, and other smaller things, so they can concentrate on the kernel, while I fix up the ROM)
The Back Story:
Firstly, excuse my cheesy biblical writing, I just have always wanted to write something in that format .
In the beginning (march 2012), there was hanthesolo. He saw the Galaxy Player forums, and all that he saw was good. This man started creating new work for the Gplayer forums, a and gained a small following. There was just one issue that concerned him: NO ICS!
In light of this, this man created a thread, to collect all ICS development, into one easy-to-read forum. Other began to follow him, zaclimon, Ijimaniac, and several others. Ideas flew fast and furious, but hope was waning quickly. A kernel would have to be created from scratch, a monumental task that had not been undertaken by any man so far.
All was quiet for awhile, and people began to slowly fade out, until only hanthesolo and zaclimon remained, slowly trading ideas and guesses over several weeks. Then a new disciple arrived: neyodmium. This korean (?) developer brought a different kind of kernel experience to the trio, and development began in earnest, with zaclimon and neyodmium trading work, while hanthesolo contributed where he could. One unsurmountable issue arose: this magnificient kernel, the likes of which had never lit up these forums before, would merely boot into recovery, not into Android.
Then Oisis came around, hearing our desperate cries for help. Like a moses, he guided his flock in the right direction, squashing issue after issue, until a monumental day arrived: August 13, 2012. On this day, ICS was finally created in Cyanogen's own image, and it was good.
Then increased development began, with hanthesolo squashing CM9 bugs, while zaclimon, neyodmium, and Oisis working feverishly on the kernel.
But an issue occurred, a wrench in the works. Thine enemy's name is GL, SuperNOva. GL would not cooperate, acting as a barrier between usable ICS, and frustrated efforts to fix it. But one day, the magical variable was flipped, and the builds booted! About this time there was a github mishap involving a bad I9000 push that stopped things for about a week, but that's another story.
What happens next? I dunno, but I will update this story when it happens .
NOTE: This does NOT represent anyone's political or religious standpoint, or the way anyone is viewed. It was created as a humorous way to explain our situation to users.
The fix list:
ROM:
Bluetooth (should be easy)
HW acceleration (easy, just neds to be implemented)
Camera (will take awhile)
Kernel:
HW acceleration (Oisis is working on it)
Drm manager (needs to be fixed before market can be used!)
US home button
Boot to recovery (very annoying when trying to flash builds)
Camera (?)

If you get stuck in recovery, flash a GB kernel, it will boot into recovery, simply hit "reboot". When it bootloops, boot into download and flash the CM9 kernel.

port kernel 3.x from Galaxy S to SGP4.0 should be easy, coz hardware parts are almost the same, but SGP5.0 conpoments arent the same, the way for SGP5.0's 3.x kernel should be harder.
tdmcode actually has a booting CM9 build. I believe that wifi and sound work, but nothing else. His vendor tree and device tree are here:
https://github.com/tdm/android_vendor_samsung_ypg1/tree/ics-cm
https://github.com/tdm/android_device_samsung_ypg1/tree/ics-cm
He just never released it as it is still not very functional.
Maybe it would be easier to just take his source and try and fix the issues and make it fully working. Because getting an AOSP bringup to boot is most of the work; the rest should be easier to do.
Would it not be easier to port over a rom, as the hardware is the same? It would at least be more helpful, because if we could create a guide, we could port other roms over very quickly!

I built it and I will test to see if it works (I'll use the newest kernel from cm7)
I am going out on a limb here...could we use the cm7 kerbel to help port a workable ics kernel for a galaxy s port? Once thats done cooking up a working rom should be easy and quick.

One thing
Ambitious project hanthesolo
one thing: could i suggest that the title of this thread should be Operation: ICS for Galaxy Player 4.0 or something?
Okay, I may rename it. ICS is far more feasible than you think. Once we get a working kernel running (which will be soon) we can port ics over from the galaxy s (which would be best, as once it boots most features would work). I hope by the time school starts up ics will be functional as a daily driver. I may not be able to help a ton, as most of this revolves around making a working kernel, but I will try to help where I can.

I can't get it to boot. (stuck at samsung logo) I think it would be better to build it from source instead of porting over.
Its stuck at the samsung logo because the kernel probably didnt work. It has happened to me before, we need to compile an ics kernel. The galaxy s one almost works, we just need to find out what makes it fail to boot.

We can use the BML/STL partition layout in waiting for yaffs2. We can use entrophy's device tree as base for it(we can ask for help from him too)

Thanks for looking into that zaclimon! I will pm him and see if he would be interested. I willxupdate the opxwoth info from various people/sies as I get it.

Would a tablet kernel made from scratch to run ICS do anything or does it need to be more kosher with Samsung and their device tree?

Hey I've been looking at this situation too and science coming back after q long time in the Xperia play forum I decided I wanted to help I found this guide about compelling ics http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics but 1 problem I need to find the device and vendor tree on github but I've never used githubn before so need some help with that so if I can help please let me know

If it was that easy, webwould have ics today on our devices. The reason its been so difficult is that we need to combine/port githubs to create a working kerbel, which is a lot harder than it sounds. Thanks for the link! I will put it in the op.
Sent From my Galaxy Player running StratusRom using XDA
Im guessing u mean we could make a rom using that but first we need a kernel that qill work with it
Yeah. Porting a rom is easy, but getting a working kernel is not. Once we get a working kernel we can port as many roms as we please.
Sent From my Galaxy Player running StratusRom using XDA
Well I don't think it is that hard if we base ourselves from other devices trees like entrophy's one. I think he removed RFS from his initramfs which leaves him only ext4. Then he used a script that would convert the partitions to ext4 when installing CM9. I think it is the same things than with the mmc partitions (I think this is a part of why the 5.0 got ICS sonner than 4.0)
EDIT: And I think it's better to build it from source the first time. (instead of porting for the case of CM9 for example.)
Yeah, I was just talking comparatively. Has anyone begun working on this yet? I have been researching a LOT (the best thing I can do to help right now), but since my knowledge is limited on kernels, i cant help with that riht now

Hey,
I'm working on a Jelly Bean port, and i want to ask something:
Can i use ICS device files for my galaxy and include them into the JB Build.
Did i must change many things in that files or can i leave it at the most parts?
Thanks,
GlenniBoy
P.S.:Sorry for bad english, but i'm from Germany and only 12 years old soo....
Depending the files you replace or include. For example in all Android Roms decompiled data you have the app folder those apps you may interest that they are being updated the higher versions exist, or maybe some drivers from the official ICS Rom you may want to save to your Jelly Bean ported Rom...
Thxx
If you are starting with the Android ROM development be careful from what you do.
At first choose an old target to try.
But if you want to use your common device search for any recovery tool for it and search if it's possible to run android from the SD card and don't erase your actual system.
Thank you very much, but do you know, if the galaxy ace supports sd-card-roms???
Ask in the Galaxy Ace forums. But it's no usual to dual boot two Androids in an Android based device. I try my custom roms in a old Nike

ohh. ok
hey @all,
at first i got the sgs. After some month i root it and later i flashed cm7 and then cm9 and i loved it.
now i have the sgs3. and the stock rom is ****.
its laggy, i miss a lot of features and so on. so, at the moment i have a view on cm9 on sgs3.
and when i read some posts and known issues i thought about some things like:
- TVout doesn´t work an should never work.
so, the cm projekt is open source. but i can update the cm os with some original files from samsung to solve the prob (for me). right? or is is not so an easy way?
- radio doesn´t work
so i thougt i can copy the radio app in /system/apps (i write down the path out of my mind)
Some samsung apps has nice features (like the video player).
Can i use the app like copy it on the cm os?
the main question is, can i customize the cm os with original samsung apps and samsung configs, so that all thinks will work.
is there someone who has/will create some packages for that?
great thanks for replys
ravn
The answer is largely no.
Most Samsung apps rely on the Samsung framework which only exists in Samsung official roms, this is almost impossible to port into an AOSP based rom like CM9.
However there is a project underway to port important/useful features from stock roms to CM9, this includes a lot of TW features (but not smart alert )

Bummer
Out of curiosity i have been compiling CM10.2 for the last 2 days, and it now compiles successfully 100% (after many repo sync), but the thing is, when it's installed it doesn't even go past the S4 Bootlogo.. that's just sad, it's like the init file (ramdisk) is wrong so I tried the one from the aosp 4.3 ge builds, but that also didn't work, but it's probably not that. I don't know what it is, but of course without any logcat it's hard to find.
even my AOSP 4.3 compiled build went further than that.. it just showed me a black screen cause of the wrong egl libs but it showed a logcat at least. with the major errors of libc being faulty etc. (but it went further than CM.. in the early stage when there were almost no cm patches for cm10.2 yet)
Oh and yes I did include the proprietary files, and found that some of them don't even exist on the original 4.3 rom, so that's kinda lame..
here are the missing ones:
lib/libqmi.so
lib/libqmiservices.so
lib/libqmi_cci.so
lib/libqmi_common_so.so
lib/libqmi_csi.so
lib/libqmi_encdec.so
lib/libqcci_legacy.so
lib/libqmi_client_qmux.so
lib/libreference-ril.so
lib/libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
lib/libsecril-client.so
lib/libtime_genoff.so
lib/libWVStreamControlAPI_L1.so
lib/libidl.so
lib/libivxdrm.so (was spelled wrong by cm, it includes capitals)
that's a lot of libs, does someone know if one of them could be responsible for not going past the boot logo?
I can upload my build if anyone wants it but it does nothing so it's kinda useless
Any useful is appreciated very much! :silly:
just wait awhile..

Yes I will of course, and I have no problem with that. I'm just curious what the reason is for it not to boot at all. I want to learn as much as possible about the android system so that includes this

Syncing CM10.2 Sources now
Most of the low end devices have got 4.3 booting like HTC Pico and Optimus L5 etc.
PS: In HTC Pico CM10.2 Rom only BT and Camera is broken so I am sure we can get a fully stable one in a few tries. Obviously, we have to fix bugs
This thread over here at m919 has got cm10.2 working, well sort of. Check this out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348733

got it working
Hi there guys.
Is there anyone working on CM11 for now ? I can't find any info on CM site about i9100 (I believe it should work flawlessly as google wants to support older phones).
Just let me now, please !
Cheers
the guys from the team of CM now versed in the system, because there are many things requiring adaptation. So wait for CM 11 I think is closer to the new year
Here you go.. But it's still in testing stages.. You could test and report to the developer for its development..

You can use OmniRom instead. I used CM 7, 9, and 10, with a Galaxy S1 and then S2. I recently switched to OmniRom because they had a working KitKat rom. Basically a group split off from CM after it became a company, and that group is called OmniRom. CM's i9100 development has all but stopped, but the OmniRom have KitKat rom nightiles that are quite stable. I'm using as my daily driver, and all features work. My phone is faster that it was on CM10.2.
OmniRom:

Note: As per the XDA thread, you need SuperSU and GApps. Please use Paranoid Android's GApps modular mini. The full one didn't work for me, and others have said the same.
The only bugs I'm having with OmniRom are:
(1) Automatic time zone (set it manualy)
(2) The OpenDelta over the air updater doesn't work properly yet.

Problems to execute Cm11 on my s2
Hello, I wonder if any Modder or Dev could help me.
I have a Galaxy s2 I9100 stopped there two years, and recently tried to install Cm11 him, and when I start the phone it loads the bootloader Cyanogem Mod, and then a message "Shutting Down Power Off" appears.
I tried using other versions as Slim Know, Paranoid, Pac Rom, etc ... and all the same thing happen. I decided to go back to official samsung 4.1.2 rom, it worked okay, but the phone does not load, an error appears stating that the phone battery with this high temperature, but the phone does not heat up, it is normal temperature coma.
I took the phone in technical assistance, which found that the problem is in the motherboard. I wonder if any Modder or Dev could help me on how to disable it in CM11 rom, or which file responsible for turning off the phone in case of failures. Thanks in advance
(Sorry for my bad english)
Handwriting to text
Hey
I was just wondering if cm11 has a handwriting to text feature.? I can't seem to find it, if it has it.
