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?

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.

Okay, but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 is similar to nexus s?

Compare specs. Find out.

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.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm quite busy at the moment catching up with school work, I'll see what I can do this weekend.

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.

Not sure if you all have seen this but there is a partial list of which phones are confirmed to get ICS...and the SGS2 is unconfirmed. I guess thats better than a "NO" right?

Whether or not it's legit, I've seen the same listed on various other sites as well.

Sure hope the second website is correct! If Samsung does upgrade the international to ICS, hopefully ATT wont take too long to get it to our devices.

Honestly not too psyched for ICS. Only new feature that'll be cool is the Google Chrome Browser.

AT&T will take forever - however, if we're lucky, the I9100 source drop for the kernel will include drivers for the I777. If it does, porting ICS will be a matter of a week or two.
Actually, based on what I've seen, the Linux 3.0 sources are FAR cleaner in the arch/arm tree than 2.6.35 - so even if I777 drivers are missing, porting them should be easier. Main area of concern is the MAX8922 battery charger. Fixing touchkey should be easy if missing from sources (It's just one or two #defines for our device as it is.)

I'm not real psyched about it either.
But one thing I am interested in is direct OS support of data logging and control gui of each and every app that uses data. It appears to allow you the capability of limiting or all out shutting of data separately by each individual app if you choose.
could be real useful for those of us on limited data plans.

Just a personal request as I enjoy Samsung services that are current not present in both CM9 and AOKP builds. Hope that this can be done and thanks in advance!

Nothing wrong with asking, but try to not post in development unless you actually have something you developed (some people around here get really upset about that sometimes )

Porting Newest Touchwiz-UX ROM
I know that this is a really old thread to bump, but with the new Touchwiz-UX of the GS3, it is even more appealing to have. I really hope someone would port this, even though we have a Remics-UX ROM that replicates the newer Touchwiz.
Please reply if you are interested.
I've actually worked on this with my dev team and v2.x.x of RemICS-UX was supposed to be based on Samsungs ICS. However we've kind of abandoned the idea as it was too difficult to implement. It only works on devices which already have an ICS ROM from Samsung as that make a lot of changes when compared to AOSP

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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

Ii realize that it has not officially come out, but I am curious if it is known if any features that ICS brings, we will not get? I know in the Apple world this can happen so I thought I would ask for ICS.

We have all of the "features" of ICS; in fact the CM9 Kangs have much more than what ICS vanilla has. Just go flash one of the ROMs in the dev section (I'd suggest AOKP) and find out for yourself. That is, of course, unless you're one of those folks on xda-DEVELOPERS that doesn't want to root...
This might be more helpful. It's a bit old but a good summary.

And Samsung will modify it for us with some "features".

FTFY
Hi, I have a HTC One S. I can't complain about the phone but there aren't a lot official ROMs for this cellphone. On the new website of aokp isn't any ROM for the one s anymore, cyanogenmod has only cm10 stable and some 10.1 nightly and there is screen tearing, too. Or for example Ubuntu touch isn't avaible. Or a super nexus ROM. Or miui 5.
So my question is what is a good supported but also powerful smartphone?
Only Nexus devices get the most development support. Get a Nexus 4...
Sell it and equip yourselves with a nexus you won't start a thread like this again - for nexus something new pops up everyday
OK and any other devices? Maybe for people who are reading this thread and dont like nexus?

If you don't like nexus don't worry you will also able to use latest android resources.
But you need to search in google that how to make a own custom rom

The Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Note II all have great developer support, the US market versions of these phones have even better developer support but the International versions are great too. The Xperia Z is another phone with great developer support as well. All of these devices have official Cyanogenmod support, and AOKP support (Except for the Galaxy S4 which at this moment doesn't have official AOKP) support.

Its not simple but these days there are tutorials on compiling/debugging that makes life easier for newbies wanting to take first steps into aosp development
Bro making a rom is hard for us but not impossible.
You just need to learn how to port rom's from another device and how to modify your stock kernel to work properly in your custom rom.
Don't forget that the nexus/cm rom makers are also a human like us.
Try to search in Google.com
