[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II Browser on G2X - T-Mobile LG G2x

A few questions:
1.) Any way to port the Touchwiz 4.0 Rom from the SGSII onto the G2X as a custom rom of sorts in the future?
2.) I'm sure you all have seen the phenomenal browser experience on the SGSII. Is there any way to match that on the G2X? Perhaps on gingerbread?

Hmm this should probably be in general.. just saying.. your probably gonna get flamed for this....

Porting this wouldn't be beneficial seeing how you would be incapable of flashing it because it would require reading and comprehension skills which by your question in the development section would price that you lack...

thanks for the good answer bro. appreciate it.

You should be able to install TouchWiz from an APK. We did on the N1 and it was fine.
The browser... not so sure.

you can always make a folder that holds AALLLL of the apps. my only issue with miui launcher was that it didnt support scrollable widgets. other than that it was the best. miui on the g2x would be sswweeettt
not gonna lie. a fully functional miui is one thing I was hoping to get when I bought this phone. fingers crossed
I would FREAKIN love MIUI on this phone. I'm hoping someone would port it out. I would love to "try" and help out if needed with some guidance...

What do we need to get a gingerbread rom

Im fairly new to this section of the forums most of my hangout is on the Gtablet side. But what is needed to get this phone up to gingerbread? What are we lacking?
ohhh please...
sent from sgs4g
Not getting the sarcasm here? I asked a simple question which is not anywhere in this development forum I searched. The Gtab came with 2.2 and has successfully been updated to 2.3 and they are now working on a honeycomb port missing on a few things atm. Whats holding the s4g back?
I believe people are going to get upset with you posting this here.
We are missing the neccesary files from Samsung.

Not understanding that we have the source from samsung but we are still missing what is required. Why would people seriously get mad?

That and questions belong in the general section. It helps keep the dev section clean.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
From a development point... What is still needed to get this ball rolling? I think the question is appropriate for the development section as its not "who is working on gb" or "is CM coming".
Definetly should be in the general section, but the main thing were missing is a final version of CWM and the devs, the ones we have are great but there time is consumed doing other things. I assume its going to be a while before we get any good roms
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Just to add I don't think anyone is working on froyo roms much less gb. Point of this story is if you want custom roms ditch this phone
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
There is no GB development, because there are almost no developers for this phone.
The two active developers don't even have a SGS 4g (well, krylon has a loaner)....
I thought the biggest reason would be that we have no gingerbread updated from Samsung that are compatible with our phone. In order to get gingerbread right now, we would have to port over one from another Samsung device and then make it compatible with ours. Which isn't easy at all from my understanding.
That being said, we do have a small community.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Understandable, but we dont need a source from samsung for gingerbread. Gtab devs made a GB rom without anything being compatible and are moving to honeycomb with out official support from nvidia or viewsong for either of these roms.
I guess Ill get back to working with the cyanogen I have now to start tweaking but CWM is working on my phone at least.

This is not to flame you, but any questions like this shouldn't be asked in development. It clutters the development forum. It needs to be posted in the "General" section.
This question has been asked there several times as well.
#1 Getting GB to work on any samsung phone currently is a monster of a task. Just read up on the nightlies that CyanogenMod is putting out now for the Captivate. Android 2.3.4 via CM 7 running on Captivate.
#2 The SGS4G is more similar to the Epic 4G than the Vibrant. That being said read what was said from ciwrl (CM Dev Team): "epic is slated for last…its full of nasty hacks"
Hope that answers your questions. Please post in General next time.
Are there even any ROMs out there for this phone? Is there even a CyanogenMod?

None at the moment. CWM is priority number one with the current Devs, although a few other mods coming out.
It hardly seems priority. Krylon put it on hold for Bionix and whatever project he's on now

For one, you have no idea what is going on.
For two, comments like that don't make any dev work faster. Devs have NO obligation to help the masses. Why piss off some one that is helping? Because your impatient? Relax bud. When its done its done. ;-)

[Q] AOSP?

Wife just bought a Charge (upgraded from Droid 1). I started looking for ROMS to install on her phone, and all I see is the OTA ROM modded/rooted. No custom built ROMs? Any reason why the dev community shunned this device?
Never really got recognized and most people are jumping to bionic razor or nexus a few more Tom's on rootzwiki.com some are found here gummy charged humble infinity most deb's are there though
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
The search function would answer your question. We don't have AOSP ROMs because we don't have source for the RIL. Official Gingerbread only came barely two weeks ago.
Will we get AOSP, maybe, maybe not. Just run one if the ROMs we already have. They are great. Develop if you want AOSP. Or wait and hope.
It even tires me hearing this over and over, just imagine how a dev would feel.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I would recommend returning the Charge and getting the Nexus. I had the charge since May and I am so glad to have left it behind. Finally being on an AOSP phone is so refreshing.

Maybe sticky a thread then, explaining why there is no AOSP for the charge.
If you search the "Verizon Droid Charge" sub forum for AOSP there isn't really any threads saying why there is no AOSP, mostly a bunch of threads saying "it's coming", or AOSP parts for the non-AOSP Charge ROMS. What else was I supposed to search for?
Even if it was stickied people would most likely post it anyway

Planning on returning the phone.
Tried several ROMs, each had their own little to major issues . I'm not even sure if this phone will even get ICS considering it didn't even get an "official" Gingerbread until a month ago.
It even looks like the Motorola Droid Classic will get ICS.

I don't seem to have any issues with stock deodexed/debloated. We've had Gingerbread for a long time via leaks.
Enjoy your new phone. The Charge is by far my personal favorite phone. Different strokes for different folks.

i would have to agree with you. i haven't had the phone for nearly as long as you have but from browsing around xda (specifically gs2 and here) i have to notice that by comparison development is much slower in this section.
disclaimer: this is by far not a complaint, just an observation. i love the development that IS currently taking place and am very appreciative of it.

I think dev work is kinda slow on alot of phones right now. I know it has slowed down on my nexus s because a lot of them are waiting for the new sources of ICS to be released. A lot of the developers are doing great work. I think once ICS rolls out it will take off. IMHO.

I feel pretty good about what we have now. ICS will come eventually, who knows when exactly but it will come. I have two other android phones and a tablet that all run ICS very smoothly. But I still choose this gingerbread runnin beast everyday over all the others. In my humble opinion, there will definitely be some frowning faces on the day ICS is officially released for our device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Honestly its all just hype. ICS will come out and within 6 months we will be jumping to the next firmware. I think the community should put more focus on fully customizing and enjoying the capabilities of gingerbread. I really don't think we will be satisfied otherwise. That's why devs get turned off to making ROMs. They make something awesome and we use it for a week and then want more. So much greed!
