So we have source, correct? Is anyone working on compiling a GingerBread rom for the g-tablet? I have compiled kernels for my iphone (idroid - android rom for the iphone) but I am not sure if I would be of any help. I would love to see a vanilla/pure ASOP Gingerbread running on the g-tablet.

Bekit is currently working on the system portion of it with the main limiting factor being a change in how GB addresses sensors and having no insight into the nvidia libraries. Jump into IRC if you think you could help out with the kernel.
I did put together a very stock like GB themed build if you want to check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853310
Hi, I'm not new to rooting/flashing. My sister-in-law wants her Fascinate to be faster and lag free. So I'm here to help her but got questions. Is EB01 the stock kernel? I'm looking a stock kernel + voodoo. She's gonna wait for offical release of 2.2 on her phone so I'm looking for 2.1 stock + voodoo. But if I have too, I can flash a 2.2 ROM and tell her that VZW can screw.
Please and thanks in advance.
EB01 is the version of the latest leak of 2.2, not the version of a kernel.
Search the Development forum for Voodoo. There are quite a few Voodoo kernels out there for 2.1. The ones from jt1134 are pretty popular. Also, adrynalyne has some test kernels available. I was using his Test 5 (non-voodoo) for quite a while and it was pretty stable. There are other developers with Voodoo kernels as well, so look through the search results and figure out what you like best.
The one thing to keep in mind is that some of the newer 2.1 kernels are only compatible with the latest officially released firmware (DL09). You might need to upgrade her phone (OTA) before proceeding with adding these newer 2.1 kernels.
There is a Voodoo kernel available for 2.2 currently, but you would have to upgrade everything to 2.2 (i.e. EB01). There is a thread for it by jt1134, and it's a stock 2.2 kernel with Voodoo and custom boot animation support.
hey guys i know there are many ics custom roms flying around, but i like to have a flshable zip/ruu of original stock ics. where can i find one? or any body got one? no problem if itz a beta/leaked rom. pls help.
there is NO stock ICS yet
all these ICS are complied and based on AOSP
you could say that , all these AOSP ICS are beta/leaked ICS ROM.

Is currently probably the closest you'll get to stock ics.
You can also try Koush: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228
Which is meant to be the beginning of CyanogenMod 9
They are both currently still in the testing phase and function similarly

Just because there are some homebrew ports doesn't mean that MIUI is 4.2 yet.

Why does it matter ? We use unofficial ROMs anyway...
sent from me
That's like saying that since a car, airplane, and weed-whacker all run on gas, you should just put the same stuff in each. Actually, the unofficial ROMS is a more tenuous connection than my gas connection. It's more like saying that since a bullet train, horse, and diesel bus all run on fuel, the fuel which goes into each shouldn't matter. It's all fuel.
Hey, you could (please don't) use an unofficial Vibrant ROM too. That's unofficial. What's the difference? The difference is that it won't work. And might brick your phone. That's bad.
Our only current Aries kernel is 4.2.2 and still has issues. MIUI is still 4.1.2 and would introduce an entirely new set of issues tied into GPS, Bluetooth, and so forth if/when a 4.1.2 Aries kernel was compiled. Does that make it impossible? No. But it means that as the build impetus - when MIUI is 4.2 - has not happened yet... it's not a great use of time yet. Unless one of the devs wants it. In which case, MIUI being not-updated is something they don't need to be hammered over the head with.

4.2.2?
Port. If YOU see source linked from that page so our devs could actually do something useful to build that...
Hi Theraze
I have to disagree with you.
Port is not a dirty word and most of our ROMs are actually ports and not built from source. Furthermore, MIUI ROM is usually ported and not built from source and only recently did Xiaomi open their sources for the public. Even more than that, both MIUI versions brought to us by Beast were ports from Nexus and not built from source.
Now, regarding the incompatibility between kernel & OS - if it works on Nexus, I assume the adjustments were made, so one can enjoy both 4.2.2 & MIUI benefits. There is no logical reason why it couldn't be ported to our beloved device.
sent from me
I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that our build-from-source dev who asked you to let him know when it hit 4.2 hasn't had his request met.
Does that mean that someone (him or another dev) CAN'T port it? Nope. But it makes it a lot less likely that air can just pull the source in and compile it using the Aries bits if the buildable MIUI is still only 4.1.2 and our Aries is 4.2.2 instead.
Again, I think we're agreeing on the general bits... yes, this is possible. But airfluip1 asked to be notified when buildable MIUI was 4.2.2 and that's when he said he'd build it. Not port it.
I don't care if a ROM is ported or built from source.
I will try to play with porting it myself.
I was wondering if it's possible to update my phone with 2.3.6 gingerbeard on latest 3.0 kernel, without bricking my device. Or maybe one dev can make a 2.3.6 rom with kernel 3.0. I'm asking that because from my all testes 2.3.6 uses less ram than other roms, and it's the best so far fot i9003. But 3.0 kernel also bring a lot of performances. Please, someone answer me. Thanks for your time!
