would any other devs be willing to help me get ubuntu phone up and running on the vibrant. i think with a little work and a team of 2 or 3 other devs we could eventualy bring a fully working daily driver of ubuntu phone to the vibrant so if you are willing to help then commment here or send me a pm:good:

Great Idea.
I am not a developer. I am tweaker. I am not sure how much of a help could I be.

i just graduated from a Captivate to a streak. im very happy w/ the phone/tablet considering all the great things this phone has that the Captivate doesnt. i know that there are little roms for this and i would like to help. so im trying to see if theres anyway that we can port a kernel from a custom rom and put it on our Streaks? im open to any intel you guys have to offer. i know when i had my samsung, i loved the speedmod kernel that was avail. just did a flash and boom, youre done. hoping that i can get some kind of build or foundation started here. any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers!!!

I'm not a dev, but I just recently left the captivate myself. If you want a custom kernel, I think you'll have to build it yourself. The Streak isn't like the captivate with many more users and devs, and the captivate had other phones to borrow stuff from. It also needed those things a lot more, since it had some crappy software issues.
Personally, I'm going to learn as much as I can about this so I can do my part and help with this great and under appreciated phone.

Hey Guys,
I am going to get start on making a Rom for this thing and just would like to know if any could help with test of the rom or Kernel development. But mainly Testing.
You must have a good understanding on flashing and use of the device..
Please no "NOOBs" no offense but at this staging i'm not look to tell someone every single thing to do but I dont mind helping you understand what you don't know.
If you would like to help me get this out to everyone send me an email at [email protected] or pm me.
Thanks for every that responded to my request.. I Have some testers now and well have something out soon hopefully if all goes well..
Thank you
ACS Prime...... sweet
Ill test when needed..... Love your work........ E4GT user here

Thanks man just waiting on the official build of ICS to update that leak is horrible I barely get 5 hours out of my battery
and send an email because ill forget to check here
I still use SyndicateRom Frozen on my Epic 4G. Best ROM I've ever used, can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the Prime!
I would test depending on what exactly the rom is gonna be. If it is just themed/tweaked a bit i'll have to pass. If it is actual development i would JUMP at the chance to help you out! I have owned over 20 android devices so experience is not a problem.
Im in I have beta tested on the original Transformer and several other android phones, would love to help as I dont know how to program and would like to give back to the community!!!!!
I'm in for testing, I have a flashing addiction, and am always looking for the latest and greatest.

not sure what you mean but if your taking about an AOSP then no... just tweaks and mods.. i dont have to set up at work for that
I've seen some work going on here with CM 10.1, since the process of porting Ubuntu Touch is supposed to be the same (according to them) I figured I'd drop the link and hopefully gather some support for some work on a Ubuntu Touch Rom.
Here's the XDA article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/porting-ubuntu-touch-is-as-simple-as-building-cm/
Ubuntu Porting directions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
I'm no dev by any means but I can help with some of my remedial skills if necessary.

Sounds like a fun project, just started working on it. I also recommend you read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes
Keep in mind that it has no CDMA support at all(No data, calling, sms),has poor wifi support, and looking at the nexus 4 bugs; requires replacing the battery if it dies.
would be awesome but without having cdma its a bust for me i wouldn't use it... now on my tablet that is wi-fi only most definitely
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
A rom with no cdma support is like having a car without an engine, it's probably why a dev here hasn't picked it up yet either. But if someone does get it running, I'd play with it for like an hour and likely not touch it again.

This is exactly why I'm doing it, make a nandroid and call it a day.
Wrong forum, should be in Q/A
Isn't AT&T GSM? Why would CDMA matter for our device?
Over the past couple weeks every waking moment of spare time I have had I have used reading any article, watching any movie, browsing any forum thread I have found on the topic of custom rom development and I think I'm getting close to where I can begin my first build. If any of the users here can point me to any helpful links to help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Now, onto my question. This is probably considered pure sacrilege but I was just curious on the matter. I was wondering, lets say I was wanting to port the new ToudhWiz over to our device would this be possible. If it is possible how difficult is it going to be and is it a project a beginner developer could ever hope to accomplish?
Onto my second question. I have been waiting ever since I got the DNA to see an Ubuntu Touch port for it and have got to the point where I don't believe I'm ever going to see it happen. Is this due to it being harder to build then lets say a AOSP based Rom or is it because not many people in our community here seem to care if it happens or not? The reason I'm asking is because after I get a couple Roms compiled from the simple FAQs I have been able to find and have figured out kind of what I'm doing I think I would like to try to port it over. Once again, ANY and all help is greatly appreciated, whether it's just links to other sites that has helped the developers here get to where they are or even someone wanting to help me learn personally. I have the upmost respect to all of the developers on this site and want to be able to consider myself among this elite group very soon. If I have posted this in the wrong place let the mods move it and let me know of my mistake.
Sincerely,
DrewHamm974
As someone who is fairly new to android / Rom development. Its something that takes a bit of time. I started small by just learning how to compile from source to figuring out how to get it set up to work on a device that already has support to eventually bringing roms to this device when they weren't supported.
I'm no expert but also knowing a programming language like C, C++, and Java will help.
Xda-university.com has some stuff on Rom development.
As for porting TW probably won't happen. Ububtu touch good luck... You will need either someone to do kernel work or learn how to dev a kernel first...

First off I would like to say thank you very much for answering my question. Honestly, I was hoping for an answer from you, Pio, Palmer, or amit_sen. I am currently running CyanFox and must say it is awesome. If I could be bold enough to ask, why would porting TouchWiz not work? Is it due to something about it being a proprietary rom or is it something in the source that won't compile for anything but a Galaxy phone. The reason I am asking is due to the fact if I'm not completely mistaken I saw a sense rom for either the S2 or S3 not long ago.
Now onto Ubuntu touch, I thought all you had to have to port it was a working CM 10.1 build to get it working. Also, is there anywhere besides XDA University you could send me to help learning Rom and/ or Kernel development. Once again I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer my question I idolize any devs that are on here freely giving their time and hard work.

I would recommend learning how to build CM 10.2. Once you have a working build, figure out how to build AOKP (or any other ROM without official support).
After that, you will probably have new questions.
Thanks will definately do.

Touchwiz would be easy to get booting but almost everything would be broken. And because you can't actually compile touchwiz it makes fixing anything a giant pain. Ubuntu touch on the other hand would be relatively easy because you can compile it.

If I remember correctly, Ubuntu touch is typically based on the cm10.1 kernel, for whatever it's worth.

Hello. Prompt, please, can I port android 4.4 (in this case CyanogenMod 11) in this manual ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/guide-cm11-how-to-build-cyanogenmod-11-t2515305 )? Is it even possible to port it, at least 4.0. Sorry for my bad English.
Can anyone try it?
No drivers. It is completely infeasible. Stop asking.

This device would be amazing with kitkat on it.
I wish.
The HP touchpad just got CM11 and it uses the same snapdragon s3 APQ8060 as the jetstream. Maybe its possible to port that?

i'll tell show_p.
the problem is the HTC drivers, which cannot be ported from any other device. maybe there's something in the HP.

As silly as it may sound. I literally now have no use for my jetstream as I am fully fed up of the OS it has. I have it rooted and CWM 6.0 installed on it and flashed BMW Boy rom on it. At this point, I am willing to work with developers to come up with a custom rom for it. I will be more than happy to test it on my device if they need me to. Plus, I can provide any information needed about this device. I am getting into developing, so perhaps Jetstream could be used as an ultimate sacrifice lol.
Just rooted SGH-I317M (NOTE II-Rogers) and installed CM 11 Nightly on it. I refuse to go back to stock. Im loving my phone so much more.:good:
can we?
Is it possible to build the drivers from scratch? Even if it is not for free we can all pitch in and pay a developer. Hopefully HTC can help despite our many failed efforts. I am willing to pay to get this device up to date, it feels to wrong to let something so full of potential go to waste. Even today it still looks better than most tablets available. I love my jetstream !

Go to www.codeaurora.org and find the Android for MSM project. I tried to backport some of the code from that project into Hive kernel.

Will do! Just talked to an HTC rep. She apologized for the lack of support and sent a ticket of the conversation to HTC in hopes of assistance. She is even going to try to talk to her higher ups and hope that they are generous! My hopes are not that high but i was really glad to talk to someone who was concerned with the matter. She could not even believe what i was telling her ( she never used honeycomb so i am guessing she was surprised with what we have to go through.) I hope 2014 will be different for the Jetstream. O and i never thanked you for your hard work so ill take the time now. Thank you for your assistance, it means a lot to me and the other people with the jetstream here at xda! Great work and an awesome rom!
