for Nexus, apparently. FYI.
Downloading now... Can't wait to try it out in emulator
Dude, emulator rom already existed.
Source is for important stuff, like porting.roms.
Emulator rom was there since October 19.

We know the emulator existed. If you read the post this is so you get source code for nexus s. Now all we need is samsung to release SGS4G source and we can Build ICS. Maybe possible to port also...
I got a noob questions.. I've seen devices that are not design to run android getting unofficial android ROM.. how's the developer managed to do that? obviously no source are being release for that device..how do we get the device drivers/firmware/radio/etc ..
thanks

As of right now, what is holding us back from porting gingerbread to our sidekicks? Is it drivers? Or a 2.3 kernel that runs? I need a list of what needs to be done exactly.

Hope that helps!
Thank you, but I've seen both of those and followed them to the end. I'm looking for a specific list of what is needed to port gingerbread to our device. As in i may take up the task of porting it

Would probably be a good idea to continue where windixxi left off since hes the closest person to get ginger working on our phone.
i think i remember Sduvick explaining that the drivers for this device are not exactly generic, so we really need an official Gingerbread kernel from Samsung. i'm pretty sure he tried porting a gb kernel from another device, but without updated drivers for the SK4G, it was basically impossible. that's how i understand it anyway.
Thank you yogi for the info and yes pintek im aware of windxixi great work but i cant figure out his github at all. Its not labeled well.. so more or less its a drivers issue?

Basically? That's what I understood as well.
So instead of trying to port drivers we would have to write new drivers in theory since we don't have a source to build from?

It's no small job. Here's sduvick's assessment of the issue:

Thanks for the reading orange. Gave me the idea that the kernel is going to have to be a makeshift mix and match type thing from kernels from multiple phones.

I agree.
As mentioned previously, maybe windixxi can provide some insight as well.
You're probably going to need some experience and knowledge of coding (i.e. C, Python, Java) and access to a Linux rig of some sort as well..
Yes im going to setup a linux enviroment soon i was thinking ubuntu but i havent setup a linux in a while are their any better alternatives?

I recommend installing a hard drive specifically for your Linux environment and using the bios to switch between your boot OS.
But, I also have Ubuntu installed inside of VirtualBox. It's a bit slow, but it works inside of Windows.
so awesome that Samsung are such *****es about this haha
Sounds like i may be in need of a better computer. Ill see what i can do with what i have and start looking into kernels with stuff we need
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
I think there's a kernel guide here you could look at.
A OC/UV Kernel would be fabulous.

I might try that to get me back into the groove of things, things are going slow with classes though so nobody should get their hopes up yet. But if i manage to buil an oc/uv kernel sucessfully, then my next project will be working on a gingerbread kernel. Ill keep you guys posted in the weeks to come.

If you (or other SK4G developers) are interested, I may be able to arrange a build server.
As in a place to host the kernels we build?

So lately I've been asking developers for specific main stream roms so far this is what I've got accomplished but anyone just remember devs are ppl too and don't be afraid to ask them for a rom if they are not busy and have access to the device most will gladly help out
Trying to find out if 3D Max roms are flashable for us - 6/19/2012 - completed (possible) used Acura 3dmax kernel and rom
Asked for Ubuntu - already works with background. Img and vnc - COMPLETED
Asked for miui - someone is currently working on this (WIP)
Asked for AOKP - they need the device
asked to get our picture up on the main cyanogenmod devices site - they said it will be up soon its on there Todo list - COMPLETED
Asked about CM9 - they have alpha port but awaiting certain drivers to ensure a clean smooth rom
Any other ideas you can ask around to the devs on here and different sites and see what you can get out of them lets see if we can make a great phone one of those that gets the attention it deserves

Missing DSP firmware news came directly from Ricardo himself, so it should be confirmed

Yeah we also would like to have in our hands the omapflash for o3D.. many users have/had to send their phones to LG for boot repair. but the Gnex has a 7mb script that repairs the bootloader in 2 mins.. LG changes whole board
I thought I saw that on the boards the other day actually

Frankly speaking I am not impressed with ubuntu os. Everywhere just swiping here and there is ridiculous. Also most of the basic apps still dont work in it. We should wait for official release of ubuntu with major impressive imptovements. And most imp we have major issues with kernel 3.0 which has to be first solve for stable CM rom. Only then we should proceed with ubuntu.
