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

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 patched my "original" CM7 ROM zip file.
Everything patched smoothly.
Got the two zip files: patch and restore.
Installed the patch via Recovery.
I get past the LG logo screen, but it just stays black, with the screen backlight staying on.
I waited 35 minutes hoping it was just taking a while to boot up.. But it always seems frozen.
I can use the restore zip just fine.
And yes, DEOXED files.
I need help please.

Could someone please give download links to Pdroid Patcher 1.31 and 1.27 so I can try those? Thanks.
I can't locate older version downloads. I read people are having better luck with those versions.
No one can provide help?
Not even a clean download for pdroid patcher v1.31 or v1.27..?
I thought this site/forum was full of "developers" and other pro's.. Someone has to know something or have clean download links for what I'm looking for.
I would not be asking if I had not searched the forum/Google already.
Thanks in advance.

You might want to try compiling cm7 from source and applying the actual source patches. I've had no issues with 1.32; AFAIK the problems are with 1.32 smali patches, not the source.

Best is 1.31 . I had the same problem and it enabled me to use pdroid. Just goto the above link and enjoy

Nice. Version 1.31 patched perfectly. Flashed smoothly.
I was able to use a "dummy" Android Device ID so I could have 2 Rage of Bahamut accounts.

Hi, all.
This is my first post (I had another account, but I don't remember the details...) and I wish to thank all people working to satisfy the curiosity of stupid newbies like me...
I would like to ask your opinion in order to choose a suitable ROM to speed my S3, which is unlocked by factory.
So, I will give the details:
GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband I9300DXEMB1
Kernel 3.0.31-1287119

SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 28 00:40:06 KST
2013
Build JZO54K.I9300XXEMF6
My goal is to eliminate unnecessary apps, like weather and other such. I use it mainly for calling, pics, vids, and internet/social networks.
Can anyone advise or help?
Thanks a lot.
Regards

I currently using temasek rom, and I'm planning to flash JustArchi rom JustArchi's rom thread has a very detail guide to help a newbie flash rom so I recommend you use JusrArchi's rom.
google 2 rom and flash the one you like
If you want to give ArchiDroid a shot here is the link, with a quite good guide written by me - last tab in second post.
However a rom is a matter of taste.

Hello,
I am well aware that you have a huge database full of threads and posts. I have been searching for over a week now to learn how to do a variety of things on my new smartphone. Unfortunately I've been unable to find what I've been looking for, anywhere. I've found vague details in a merge of threads - and frankly it's just scaring me more than anything. I feel like the best way of achieving a safe, good outcome, is by supplying you with specifics and requesting that someone helps me. It would mean a lot to me.

Model number: GT-19100P
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
What I'm trying to achieve
Root my phone
Update the version of android on the phone to v4.1.2 (new user, so I can't put links, but go to: Samsung Updates -> Select device -> GT-19100P (Galaxy S 2) -> Look at the updates listed there).
I'm not sure I should list all of the things I've attempted to do, so I won't - but what I'm basically asking is: can someone please give me really simple steps and links as to how I can do this? Thank you so much.
