Recovery for Samsung Transfix - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a recovery for this phone? I have a few of Koush's porting instructions ready to go, but if anyone has a better way for a noob to get started porting I'd appreciate it.
Also when running Linux (Ubuntu probably) to compile, better to run x64 bit version standalone, or can I get away with it in virtualbox? 2.9 ghz core 2 duo, 4 gigs of ram.
Thanks,
Joe

[Q] Help creating custom ICS ROM

Hi!
I'm new on XDA and on Android programming. I want to learn how to create a custom ROM for my Nexus S i9020A (and who knows posting it here for you guys as well) . The thing is I dont know where to start! Im familiar with Windows, Linux and Mac, so the OS isnt a issue, but how can I begin? ASOP seems better? What do I need and etc?
If anyone could help me, would be awesome!
Thanks a lot!

Make sure you are running ubuntu 10.4 and you can find info HERE and HERE.
So the recipe to start is ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) and the download the source?
Thanks!
Any help with adding root, busybox, deodexing, unsecure boot.img, etc? the basic tweaks i mean..
that would be more than amazing!
what is ubuntu used for when writing roms? would like to know the above as well
ubuntu is used to compile android from source.. ubuntu/mac.. windows i believe also can be used, but more painfully.. so ubuntu FTW! and the android kitchen runs smooth on linux, just tried yesterday and figured out the root/busybox stuff.. just the kernel thing is a little blur yet..

Running ArchLinux in a chroot

I wrote this for my Acer A200, but with some tweaking someone should be able to get it to run on almost any device (I'm really just a noob...). Just thought it would help anyone struggling with this.

ODIN in virtualbox help

I have recently stopped running windows and have switched to linux ubuntu 12.04. Im trying to learn enough To be a samsung fascinate contributor...Anyway, I recently bought my girlfriend a verizon wireless note 2 and I want to root it for her. Couple apps she likes that need root perm. After countless hours of research and trail and errors I have yet to get ODIN to recognize any device. ( Im trying to run WIN 7 inside virtualbox with linux host) I know all about the add on iso and all that. read that maybe WIN XP be a better fit but cant find an ISO image. Like I said I have read through many a forum thats y Im trying here...know u guys r busy with more pressing issues just need a lil help.
I know ODIN very well. used it too manY times to count with my fascinate. Ive seen ADAM's videos on how to root note 2 and he using ODIN..which looks like to running on a linux platform...using something..guessing virtualbox..so im assuming it can be done.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE. ILL GLADLY DONATE TO ANYONE THAT HELP ME GET THIS DONE!!

Hi,
I think you can use Heimdall (a linux alternative to Odin for some galaxy phones) on a galaxy note 2. If it doesn't work you can maybe root it via ClockWork Mod (CWM). But Odin Mobile (an app that you can find in the Play Store) is compatible with your phone, so give it a try.

[Q] ARM samsung chromebook: Getting fastboot and adb up and running

Hey
I have gone through a forum thread and it seems there has been progress in getting adb and fastboot up and running on arm based samsung chromebook 3.
please refer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157230&page=3
I am working on a project where we would like to get android jelly bean up and running on an arm based processor and run an application designed for this environment.
Any ideas before we purchase the hardware and try it out, if someone has got this working. What were the possible issues we could encounter?
Thanks!
any inputs on this?
Hello Everyone
Any inputs on this would be helpful !

I know how you feel DUDE. Its like we are all alone and unless you grew up speaking kernel you are gonna have a haaaaahd time.
I have tried so many times.... I just cant get it in the right place. All I care about is getting to fastboot. The Samsung X300 is a very weak machine so theres not much point in loading it up with linux.
Ive dropped begging posts all over the internetz since July. Glad to have met you bro -- lets figure this out.

Yes, I know how to search. Still does not clearly tell me how to properly install the adb into my path. Its that final connection I keep messing up.

I would love to say someone is working on this but we are alone, im trying to get linux booted by tonight and we are afloat in a sea of step-by-step guides, and i should be able to do something other than make a brick.

I just got one of these phones and was hoping I could help make some custom recovery/custom rom(s) happen. I must admit my knowledge base is limited but I have access to a linux computer, and I'm not completely new to coding for android or linux. If anyone knows where to start I'd be happy to do anything I can, I'm just looking for marching orders haha.
