ok im am aware this has more than likely been addressed but i jus felt compelled to ask this again.....
the skyrocket which has identical specs except for the chipset (m8260 and the notes m8660) has recieved th jb update and also has working jb touch wiz roms...
my question is what makes it dificut for this update and or roms to be ported over...i am aware of our devs success with 4.4.2 as iam running it myself i just ask this for touchwiz development....
i am not a developer tho i may want to try my hand at it one day
I've always assume that they were the same since I had the Skyrocket before. Whats the differences in processor or graphics card?

The only diffrence was the chipset

In the sticky thread there's a script to port skyrocket roms..I'm assuming only gingerbread and ICS.. It was created when this phone first came out...
what I'm trying to get at is that in all honesty it can work

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 know when I had my epic 4g touch like a day after the samsung ics leak dropped someone built a cm9 rom... Please don't flame. I'm mearely asking a question in the q & a thread... Thanks!

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

If you scroll down to the news section it says they're still working on getting a working kernel source... The only problem I had seen from not having one was no over clicking or what not.

It is going to be awsome when there is CM9+spen support for the Note.

Hmmm this Google thing could answer 90% of the posts in this forum recently. GENIUS!!
So no guessesbon why we don't have one?

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.

You think it's so easy then you post some work.

I just stated my opinion ... Oh well!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

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.

Is any dev by any dev planing on porting the galaxy note 2 ron in to the galaxy note ? am asking becase is jelly been and it has lots of s pen feautures ... just wondering
This is something I was wondering as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm guessing yes ....
But these things take time ...
The note 2 CPU architecture is very different ...and the kernel will need big changes...
It's gonna be worth it I think ....g
Lets hope so

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.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
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.

What does 4.2 have that you want?
I never found 4.2 to be any better than 4.1 and on my nexus it was a step backwards imo.
Other than new gapps which you can flash anyway, what was new? Not talking noise, just curious?
We already have 4.2.2 asop. Do you mean their stock? Yeah its possible.

The OP's talking about touchwiz 4.2.1.
Honestly, I think were a ways off. The S3 came out almost a year ago and theyre just now getting it. We need a leak atleast made for the international note 2 to get it
