As one of the few devices that got the original Boot 2 Geko, can some tell me if they think it is possible to port it under its new name and form Firefox OS, since it is on nightlies now?
Also if anyone would be willing to share their experiences with Boot2Gecko?

I read the porting thingy over the ubuntu wiki , it says that it uses cyanogenmod 10.1 as a base for Ubuntu OS, i want to know , my phone doesn't support CyanogenMod yet, can I port Ubuntu OS based on a stock ROM, or something like that??
We don't know asking a question like this is impossible to answer until someone actually tries porting it plus u didn't even list what phone u had
PHONE SLOW CLICK ME?

Does anyone know anything about this tablet? My wife just got one and wanted to see if porting KitKat was possible on this device?
It comes with Android 4.2.

The tablet appears to be just another no-name brand tablet , the Google in the branding name is misleading as the device has nothing to do with Google (It's not at all an official Google branded product) other then it runs Android. As far as porting KitKat is concerned, it is possible but it will unforutnately be difficult without an official kernel source from the manufacture or your own knowledge of compiling AOSP KitKat or say Cyanogenmod 11 for an unsupported device.

If I was able to obtain kernel source would it be possible for you or anyone to build KitKat for it? How do I obtain kernel source?

In the case of your device you would have to contact the manufacture and ask them to provide you with the kernel source code, and even then if they did you would still have to undergo the process of extracting the files for your device and fixing any broken features that would likely arise during the KitKat building process.
I am really confused! I went through a lot of threads and forums. Unfortunately i can't get some of the concepts....
Can someone give me a roadmap on how to get started with compiling android roms(not custom roms)
How do OEMs like Samsung, HTC compile their ROMs??? I mean where do they learn that the particular process should be done this way regarding Android firmware???
In Repo Sync, is it possible to pause and resume that huge download? If i want to reinstall linux, is it possible to backup that 30-40GB download???
I have Asus Fonepad 7 and has kernel sources here: http://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/7/0/7/K0zj5cW6VJEzTjQR/32/ My question is am i able to create stock Android ROMs like those in Nexus devices and fastboot images for flashing on to this device??? Also do x86 devices have a different way of compiling ROM???
I want to do things the original official way... Please help me, I am very eager to learn!!!
I would be more than happy if someone could help!!!
Was Wondering as We got All Sources and a Good Development
Why not Somebody Port Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS
as Both the Operating Systems Sources are Available
I Myself might have done it But I'm Out of FUP ;_;

Ubuntu touch its an good idea
This is a great idea and I'd love to see Ubuntu touch and get my hands on it
I tried sailfish os to port but it fails because the cm12.1 sorce code is not fully available and this makes it difficult for ubuntu you need cm10 or 11 resources , therefore it is almost impossible
but not perhaps maybe even
Maybe it east for me too much paperwork
Actually, Ubuntu touch is great idea though. But it's complex cuz it's need older android source code like jelly bean and kitkat source. Which mean it's impossible I think (my friend said that)
PS: Firefox OS has been dead last year.
View attachment 3872464 View attachment 3872465I again sat down at my Sailfish os port and have fixed some errors and comical he it at build without breaking what was always my problem one can hope maybe it will work
Hi there i would like to port roms. I have SM-t113 and everyone has just left this tab. No one develops for it anymore. I would like to get another custom rom then the already lineage os 14.1 ported from SM-G360H or whatever. Is there actually a good toturial which teaches me from the start to end with no points missing? All i find on yt is people who teach it a bit then there are cuts which leave us confused or the things they are doing i cannot find in my rom. I m new to this stuff. Can someone either guide me because ik this is the only way i could get android 7 or above with a better rom then Lineage os 14.1 (whuich is laggy).
if thats not possible any good tuts which tell me how to build aosp rom? I like stock pixel type android but i havent expirienced it. If i find one i would immidately flash it on this device. Well either of these two. please help me
