We are working on it for sure and heavily! We i'll make an official statement when we have a bootable build! I'll be back to home tommorow so i'll sort out that
Hi all!
All I want to say that thank to XDA's community and its devs , Ive seen the evolution of the scene SGR from no roms nor kernels to infected and titanium roms and as I seen theres a CM7 project on the go and even AOSP.... thats much more than I expected when I bought it so thanks for everything!
Uh, I was just looking up on MIUI rom and I have got a question. Why is CM more popular? MIUI seems like a much nicer experience.
MIUI is much newer, supports quite few devices and it's basically based on CM. To get MIUI u must first have CM /AOSP.

When I looked at MIUI, my first thought were like that as well, "This is an iOS copy. How on earth is this so popular?"
But then I went through it and it seemed pretty awesome.
How do you make an Odin flash able ROM and one for CWM?
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA App
I've heard that NVflash is a lower level of firmware flashing than Odin and NVflash makes Optimus 2x almost inbrickable.
Is it possible that we can have this method for our phones too?

Odin flashable roms aren't easy to make! And CWM needs an Updater-Script which have to be written according to our custom rom n file structure! Take a look at herehttp://freeyourandroid.com to get u started..

Seeking advice on building AOSP
Hi,
I want to learn building ROMS. I am aware that it is a difficult job, but I want to give it a try. I have read the AOSP buld instructions, but they don't mention the steps involved in creating a new build target. I understand that the process is maybe different for each device, so could any of the ROM developers here please tell me about the steps involved in doing the same for our Galaxy R?
If the answer is very involved, a short summary and relevant links will help a lot, too.

The thing when I tried myself was that there was no public repo for it , so I decided to make one myself .
The repo itself took a lot of time out of me

Hi guys
I would appreciate if someone [dev] can give me some answers on this ...
Now that we have full CWM , thanks to the devs [@gtg465x]
How about following instructions to flash lastest MIUI for Galaxy S I9000 , using the actual installation guide > http://j.mp/iZSjlh , and try this ROM on the Infuse
Is the Galaxy S I9000 the closest phone [specs] we can have to try this ?
Some step(s) in that guide to be replaced or skipped ?
Worth to try it?
Would it work ?
Would I brick the phone?
I if brick it , would I still be able to un-brick using ODIN [back to factory]
TIA

Would be very interested in this as well, but not enough to try bricking my phone .
I wouldn't try it.
Just because the partition layout of the original Galaxy S is the same as our device, it does not mean the kernel is compatible.
The current roms are all based on the stock kernel and do not change any of the core of how the device works. We still have TouchWiz built in and won't be changing that until we have custom kernel built and working on this device.
On the other hand, we can flash back to stock with Odin, so you won't completely fubar your phone if you try.

Your right about kernel compatibility , so 1st step not using speedmod kernel [used @ guide]
But I would like to know if the native MIUI kernel used @ the galaxy S is like a "modded kernel" they used to port that rom .. or if its a kind of "universal kernel" ?? . I dont know if Im making myself clear

If the partition layout changes, cannot promise Odin will fix it. Pit, boot.bin and sbl.bin pulled from a phone to flash will most likely cause a hard brick. We need a leaked one-click, or some very crazy testers willing to brick phones left and right to test that. I don't recommend it.

Not a problem. When a new phone comes out....here's what happens:
1. Root
2. SBF/ODIN
3. CWM recovery
4. Psuedo ROMs based on stock.
5. Source Code drops.
6. Custom kernels (w/CWM built in)
7. Ports for MIUI/CM7/Sense/etc.
In 3 weeks, the community as a whole has completely done steps 1-5. (Usually takes a couple of months).
Next big focus has to be custom kernels. I helped out with some of the initial stuff for CM7 on Captivate before I bought an Atrix, then the Infuse. I'm going to be doing alot of reading and trying to learn alot more about git. Then I will be able to look into kernels. Team Whiskey had some guys working on a kernel with CWM + VooDoo lagfix written up...but I havent heard anything in a few days. So....be patient, its coming! .

Very interesting info , thanks for sharing , didn't know the order of these steps to follow ..
We are closer then ! cool , cant wait to run MIUI @ Infuse
Like others said, we will need a custom kernel for MIUI. However, the Infuse is very similar to the original Galaxy S. I bet it would be really easy to port 2.2.1 Galaxy S ROMs. They would probably boot right up and work fine if you just remove the kernel from them and swap out a few files (ril, camera libs, key layouts).

Hey I have one theme in mind, can you give me the details of these files?

I'm used to HTC devices so I can't tell you the exact names of the ril and camera libs on a Samsung device without looking, but they will be in /system/lib. You may also have to swap a few files in /system/etc. Just takes research and then trial and error. I suggest grabbing a GS 2.2.1 ROM, removing the kernal (and modem if that's included) (will have to remove corresponding parts of updater-script as well), and then flashing. Adb logcat will help you to debug and fix issues from there.

Once we get kernel source and a working CM7 build for it, my team is able to port MIUI to it
Well... once we get a device that is
We have been looking for a new device to port MIUI to. If there is enough demand for the Infuse 4G we'll pick one up.
If you guys manage to get it ported we'll create a device forum for you and host your roms, etc. If you need porting help/advice, or just want to talk about MIUI, join our IRC channel #miui-us on Freenode (details in my signature) and look for someone with a + in front of their name (those are the developers).
Anyway, hope to see you guys running MIUI soon!
Now this is what im talking about. If you guys have stuff to test ill snag it up and try it. Cant write but I can install it and test for ya. Not really scared to brick it. Plus its insured. Anyway good luck cant wait for it!!!

I'm a software developer and while I've never done anything related to kernals/operating systems normally I'm able to pick up stuff quick and I think learning about stuff like this for Android phones would be awesome. I just really have no idea where to start at.

Would you or one of the other devs be willing to post an intro guide or something in order to help get more developers here?
I know you guys are probably busy working on your roms as well as work/school/doing other things, but it probably wouldn't take too long to make a short intro to help us get started. That way we could hopefully get some more devs around here.
I've been reading others guides and posts about it and I could probably do at least a little work from the start based on what they say is involved in making a rom, but the biggest problem for me is not knowing how to get going. It seems like you need an android kitchen to do a lot of the work but all of the kitchens look like they are phone specific so I don't want to try using one if those on the infuse. Maybe they aren't, but info like that to help us get our feet wet would be extremely helpful.

Okay people I just bought this phone and I'm coming from MyTouch 4G. I've been reading for the past 2 days about how to flash a SGS4G and honestly,..it's crazy! Little overwhelming to be Honest...to the point, I rooted my phone with Superoneclick, I have superuser, so I know it's rooted. Plus, I have Titanium Backup running on my phone. Everything is still FACTORY SET on the phone. It is running 2.2.1 Froyo. I did read about Froyo udate zip CWM and recovery and have downloaded them. My question is since I want to flash A Rom does it have to be Froyo only? If there is such a thing?? Or can it be Gingerbread 2.3.6? And is there anything else I need to download? I know I have to follow to the tee on the OP that the Dev. says to do. I just want to be sure exactly what I need to do..

The gb ext4 starter pack saved me alot of headache when I first got this phone. Hands down it is the best way to go. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly. Its guides like this and the people that make them that make XDA so great.
I'm new to it as well and like you are saying, it's overwhelming to root and flash on this phone. But I followed the GB starter pack the other day and included the Vahalla Final rom as my choice and everything worked great. Some things actually happened a hair different than described and I thought it screwed up but it worked.
But I think I just screwed up trying to do a restore

Most will tell you if you want a rom ported do it yourself. The devs are working on what they are working on. It isn't really our place as end-users to make request (my opinion of course) rather be grateful for all the awesome **** they have done and are working on. So no... it isn't easy.

Go get a Samsung phone, whichever is the latest one that AT&T has. They always have a TON of developers.
You know on the other hand you could just put in some time and learn and get some great ROMs in the process, lfaber06, cogery, and myself could really use the help, and it really is not all that hard, if you know anything about phones and flashing, and some about computers.
There is a thread in the development section on the tools needed to do this.

I replied to your PM with everything you need to do...
Hello all,
Has there been any word on any custom ROMs for this device? Things like MIUI, Cyanogenmod, for example. I wonder if maybe the ROM developers are waiting for official 7+ ICS builds to be available. Anyway, just wanted to check and make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks!

Hello
i am going to be working on a custom ROM based on stock very soon but i think im the only one as not a lot of people see a point on working on honeycomb as ICS may be available in Q2 but we are not 100% sure as of yet.
and yes you are correct about the matter on waiting for the official ICS update but its also a matter of retrieving the sauce codes from Samsung inc. they seem determined not the share them with the public as they have made an ICS based tab similar to our tab in appearance but totally different as far as the hardware is concerned. The new Samsung galaxy tab 2 it a low grade tab with extreme affordability allowing everyone to taste the sweet ICS within haha
but now Google are saying their is a new version of android coming some time this year called android 5.0 jellybean so that may even boost the development on our device as everyone will be wanting some jellybeans in the tab + haha
kindest regards Joseph Marshall
If you need/want any assistance when you start working on that please let me know, even if you just need a tester.

thanks very much i have added a thanks to your thanks meter
MIUI and CM7 are both Android2.3 based (definitely not including MIUI v4), we already get superior firmwares.
Actually most custom roms are just modifications of the official firmware. There is only 1 feature I want and the official does not provide. Just to remove items in the recent task list by swiping/clicking X.
Galaxy tab 7.7 ROMS
Has anybody tried to flash one of the galaxy tab 7.7 roms? I think they have about 3 roms over there. It seems as if they're almost identical in hardware, probably the only difference is the screen size.
i tried flashing entire /framework folder and a lot of system apks. bootloop
then I tried flashing only phone and settings .apk, booted but wouldnt open FC.
p6200 Malaysia.
They would need to be ported over. I kind of remember how to do it with an HTC device (EVO and Incredible had almost the exact same hardware) but Samsung I'm not sure of. Need the Android kitchen up and running on your pc to do it. With an HTC device it was pretty much just taking the boot img file off the device with the ROM you want to port and putting it into the other device. There were step by step instructions somewhere on here but I can't find them.
No thanks, not putting anyones boot.img on my device. I'm sure it could be ported. Ive been checking them out, and they are very similar.
I do have dsixdas kitchen. But Im busy with other things at the moment.
i'm playing around with 7.7 touchwiz... because they can delete the unused page... and we cant... wth samsung... want to see what is the different with their version and ours...

For ICS to run on our tabs you would need an ICS kernel, I don't believe the current one will work. My Incredible had to use an EVO ICS kernel in order to use an ICS ROM. The kernel from the 7.7 could be modified since they have similar hardware but I believe you have to have the source code available to do it. I also do not know how to make kernels though there is a tutorial on xda somewhere.
I am also not familar with the my tab or Samsungs software architecture enough to experiment with mine just yet. The only way I know how to make ROMs is using a ROM.zip file found in an RUU, you can use a nandroid backup but they tend to be buggy. The android kitchen pulls the needed images (boot, system, recovery) out of the ROM.zip file (or nandroid backup) to use in building ROMs.
I would suggest that anyone who really wants ROMs for this thing head over to Chef Central on XDA and start learning how to do it themselves. It took me the better part of a day getting the andoid kitchen up and running on my windows laptop and it is a good learning experience. There is a step by step tutoirial on how to get the andoid kitchen installed and how to build roms.

only can playing around with simple thing... no source code... kind of hard... my day job already killing me...
Yeah, I've got the kitchen running on an Ubuntu VM on my PC. I've only used it for my inc though. I guess what I hadn't realized was that Samsung never released the code for our device. Its a shame, I wish I would have looked that up before I decided on this tab. Do any other Samsung devices have similar architecture, besides the already mentioned 7.7?

i feel like i made the exact same mistake. has samsung ever released source codes due to owners demanding it? i know they don't have much reason to do so, but i was just wondering if it's happened in the past before.

I know what it means so you don't need to teach me about it. But android is open source hence should be shared among everybody.
So... anyone tested it yet? able to boot?

Randomblame's kernel source code is freely available for you to download and build. There's nothing more 'open source' than that. Extracting a compiled kernel from someone's ROM without permission and put it into your own ROM is clearly not.

I know but I took it without permission as I did not know how to compile a kernel. Now that someone is helping me out then I will not touch his anymore. Will do my own cm10 port about a few days time.
What up with the link; I have to sign up for mediafire now??
I think you should remove mentions of the other dev in your OP.

I did ask him in the first place but he totally disagree with it. What's wrong with using a ROM in the first place when it is meant to be shared among other peoples? Why are people getting selfish nowadays? Even if he spent 100 over hours with that ROM, whats wrong sharing a kernel? Not like he bought the whole CM10 down, so it should be shared among people.

I'm only thinking of one of the dev's in particular, not mentioned as thanks. I'm guessing he won't want to be associated with your ROM.
Friendly advice, take it or leave it.

If you went and did it anyways, why did you ask in the first place?
It is being shared. You can get the source. If you don't know how to compile it, you should learn. Not steal. Instead you're getting upset at him not doing the work for you. kind of not cool. If you really want to push out your own ROMs so bad, learn how to do the legwork in the first place.

If you think it is very easy to do compiling of stuffs when you have a computer which has only 512mb of ram, not even reaching 1ghz single core, show me that you can do it. And if you think it is very easy everything from the basics, go try it yourself. If you can't even produce a ROM, don't come teach me what to do. I was rushing my work to show to everybody that the v1.9.2a update would work perfectly but indeed I had broken the rules by taking RandomBlame's kernel without permission. Till then if you can't produce a ROM, do not teach me what to do. I managed to get this phone , which was already like 2 years old from my family, and my whole family is not that rich. We can't even afford a 'normal' PC like most people had nowadays, and had to live our lives with mostly second hand stuffs. When I got this phone, I was totally shocked how the HTC Sense made the phone laggy for me, hence I went into modding my phone, trying to build Chinese Custom ROMs into this development forum, and seeing people able to appreciate my work makes me happy. Now my family is even having difficulties saving money up for my school fees that I have to pay.
So if your life is not like mine DO NOT TALK LIKE YOU ARE THE BOSS OF THE FORUM. -End Of Speech-
