Hi All
Now for the last 2 weeks I have been looking at the Original development thread and the more you look at it the more you see Android 4.0.4 versions pop up.
Could someone please define for me what makes it version 4.0.4 as when iI rip the roms apart all of them in the log files of the Roms say XWLPS or something with a clear Android 4.0.3 next to it.
What confuse me about this is what makes it 4.0.4 when the internals of the DEODEX'ed files all say its 4.0.3?
I pulled all these roms apart because I wanted to see where the 4.0.4 comes from but ... ye
What?
4.0.4 roms are AOKP/CM9/AOSP roms
All ssung roms are 4.0.3 based till now
You may google are the changes between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4

Ok so that being said it would mean that the 4.0.4 is a made up version they gave their roms to be and not a true 4.0.4?
I'm trying to understand this as there will be a official 4.0.4 for the SGS2 and what then? Will they call their roms 4.0.5?
Cause their 4.0.4 wont be anything close to the official 4.0.4 ...
PS... Thanks for the person giving the tread a 1 star rating ... You really take trolling to a new level. Really epic work on you for being a coward rating the topic and not posting who you are.

4.0.4 has some fixes. The reason AOSP/AOKP/CM9 have version 4.0.4 is because they are built from sources directly from Google.
Samsung has yet to release an ICS version with 4.0.4 sources integrated into their version of ICS yet, thus they are still on 4.0.3. I presume once they integrate the 4.0.4 sources, they will also increment their versioning.

Thanks. That clarifies it a bit. Was it sourced from the Nexus? Because I know the Nexus is currently on 4.0.4 and has been for a while from what I could tell.
Why I'm asking and there was a good reason was that I was looking for the source code to build a rom from it but seeing as there are no available Default roms out there I was wondering where it got ported from and who dump the source code on 4.0.3 base versions.

If you want to make a new rom you will have to choose which base you want
Samsung
Samsung apps
4.0.3 for now
Good camera
Samsung apps like wifi direct
Touchwiz
CM9
Build from source
Daily updates (no ****, they update every day)
Some buggs like not so good camera and slow sdcard speed
No samsung apps
ability to switch to 2g only
4.0.4
AOKP
This is basicly CM9 with the rom control app which gives alot of customization
This is my knowledge, everyone can correct me if im wrong
They both have advantages and disadvantages...

I was looking to build a Samsung 4.0.4 rom. Thats why I wanted to look into the Source to update the relevant 4.0.3 framework or lib to make it work. But might just wait then for JB 4.1 to be released in the next month or 2

I've got no idea what you're going on about, so I'm just going to stick this here in the hope you can learn and understand yourself.

Wow thanks... You were probably also born knowing everything. You aspire ppl to kill themselves. Hope you are proud of yourself
Could a mod please delete this tread as clearly trying to do something for the community is only left for the elite and those born knowing everything.
Seriously so over this BS with ppl giving crap comments when something is begin asked. If you didn't want to help then don't post its really not that hard to understand is it.

You're welcome, looking forward to your ROM.
Your info is all wrong, instead of getting angry on comments who are iterated by your wrong assumptions, try to learn with open head and delete your wrong info from your head first.

Samsung only released 4.03
Google released the source of 4.04 so oems or whoever can make the rom out of it for their devices.
Thus AOSP rom's are the only ones for S2 that are on 4.04.

Ok ... So pulling the latest CM9 apart I found this and this is why I posed the question cause clearly calling me noob like you do in the tags is completely underestimating my skill level.
Lookin at the buildinfo and this dont lie and isnt noob like you guys call it. please explain the bold parts marked in the extraction.

Now clearly I'm the noob here but what I have pulled OUT of the latest 4.0.4 build shows something different. So please explain this
And then again I ask the noob question again
Define Android 4.0.4 ???
Ok I can do a build.prop for your placebo

Here you go, try it, and get some compatibility issues on market, and perhaps some other apps
You can get android 4.0.4 changelog here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481044
Remind that build.prop is just a .txt renamed to .prop, used to define some properties needed for device. Android 4.0.4 content is built on sources, frameworks, all the apps inside, from google source trees, directly forked to CyanogenMod sources.
If you dont believe, just get a fresh CyanogenMod source, and get a fresh AOSP source, and do some diff patchs . Or just look at android/default.xml, and you will see.
Hope this answer your question.

Finally a answer. Thanks. Reason I was asking is what I was seeing and what was shouted at me didn't make sense at all.

Yes you are a noob, and getting angry over it is wrong.
You already got the answer, just let me add this, as I already told you source is from google but if you are not a manufacturer of a phone you need model specific codes for it to work. So you need Samsung specific codes/drivers.
That's why you see some 4.03 codes.
I give you a very good example that anyone can understand.
i9100G didn't had cm9 until Samsung released ICS for it, and right after that you get cm9 for it.
I have already browsed the forums here. But i really need help. I would like to identify the current ROM that im using. I wil attempt to give as much information as possible.
Under settings i have this:
Android Version - 4.2.2
Baseband - S:i500.04 V.EHO3
Kernel Version - 3.0.84-g5dd3308
[email protected] #1
Thu Jul 4 15:20:31 EDT 2013 (assuming this is the date of install)
AOKP Version - aokp_fascinatemtd_unofficial_2013-07-04
Build Number - aokp_fascinatemtd-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39
eng.brian.20130704.135607 test-keys
Now i partially answered my question with the above. AOKP Version. Perhaps i could use google to find that file. But I want the same MD5 file. as this I know is good. Could someone perhaps guide me a link to this posted XDA file.

TY.. ironic enough I happen to find it. Went to delete the post but my phone wouldnt let me login to XDA..
Kudos To Bdogg for this rom.. Since my original post I have tried running every rom the fassy has thats on XDA. Well anything 4.2.2 and below. This is the only one without any issues whatsoever. Im still using it to this day. To bad there isnt an update to this build.
hi i bought a mtk based phone, previously i had an y300 huawei phone which has a large community for development. My new phone has a kitkat version with kernel 3.4.67 [email protected] #1 on aalps.kk1.mp1.v2.11. Previously i used a synopsis kernel or caexstel kernel thad had a lot of governors (i used smartass v2) ... so at the end i'm asking... is it possible to find and use some other kernel for my new phone? where i have to search them? thank you in advance
Hey all i am looking to make a small modification to the kernal on the 2.3.5 so that in can be installed on a spreadtrum chipset "feature phone" if any one can help please message me .. as I said I am willing to pay up to 1k
Not gonna happen. 2.3.5 was never an official android build and if there was no OS for that device you won't have any working drivers at all for it so can't build a kernel for it.
Hi!
I've got a really old and "rare" Archos phone and I'm trying to upgrade it but I have a bunch of questions.
-> is there a list of which android versions can support which old kernels? (like can I get Nougat on a 3.4.5 kernel version?)
-> if I want a new kernel, how am I supposed to choose it? I've found the Mediatek kernel for my phone model but I need a kernel based on a newer version. Is there a tuto that explains how to modify a kernel to support a certain device?
-> can I upgrate my existing kernel without needing to go find another? or can I adapt a newer android version to my old kernel?
Basically, there is no custom ROM for my model and I try to build one and am more and more confused about where to start. (Like if I start with Nougat but my kernel doesn't support it that'll be a bit of a time waste.)
Thanks for your answer!
With regards to a list look inside here.
