I'm interested in learning how to port ROMs. I've done a lot of searching online and can't really figure out exactly what steps are needed. From what I've read, the porting process consists of replacing files in the ROM you're porting with files that are compatible with the Fascinate, but I don't understand which files need replaced. Also, information I've found on various websites don't explain what other steps are needed in order to successfully port a ROM. I'm sure there's more to it. Is anybody willing to take the time to explain what steps are involved in porting a ROM? Your help is appreciated!
It takes a significant amount of work, and if you've never done any ROM building in the past, you may want to start with that before worry about porting a new ROM.
Would anyone have any interest in this, and are there any dev's already working on this? If so, shoot me a PM.
Hi,
I would like to remove a driver complied into the samsung kernel I was wondering what is the best way to go about it and how ?
Please try to very detailed I'm a newbie, links , guides and all related info are welcome.
(I've seen that there are various samsung based custom kernels so I'm guessing that recompiling the kernel might be the way, but being new to it I would need guidance)
I think its more complicated than you think.
Have you got a Linux based build environment?
Read this to understand the dependencies
http://source.android.com/source/building.html
Then read all the links down the left hand side.
Then you need to download the kernel source from samsung. Big job. If you're a noob, I reckon 6-12 months practice before you can compile a safe kernel. Maybe less if you have more time. Like no job / school / family etc

Thanks you,
I do have the build environment set up however if it would take that long to manage to compile a safe kernel using samsung sources its probably not the solution for me.
Would it be easier to re-compile one of the samsung based kernel released here ?
The sources should be fine to compile. Im really including learning to modify the source as you want. Once you understand the make commands etc, compiling the source is straight forward with no changes

Oh, that sounds reasonable.
It would be great if you could help me start out on the proper way of getting the compiling the samsung sources as is, and I could take slowly from there.

Have a read of the links on the left hand side of the google page I gave you. These should teach you what commands you use.
