i was looking at the optimus 2x's android dev section and i saw a hell lot of roms especially based on cm9, this must mean they do have ICS working on their phone, which means an ICS comaptible kernel, since both house the same TEGRA 2 processor, i was thinking if our wonderful devs could just port it to galaxy R, it would greatly reduce the effort of building one from scratch, and if it isnt possible then please do tell me why, cause we can all learn and maybe help out 1 way or the other ?
I'm especially bad with kernels , not to mention port them . But if the other devs port them they might just be able to boot my ICS .
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
So, you say Porting is possible??
it may work because i read some of forum members tried ardatdat's kernel with Optimus 2x and it worked with LG Optimus 2X...

but digging deeper, i found out they dont have the hardware acceleration :/
sucks... but still, better than no ICS!

Yes, the problem with porting the kernel from O2X will be in H/W acceleration....
Until, we get any of the official NVIDIA Tegra2 drivers... we wont be able to get hardware acceleration.....
So, just wait for another month or so... dear SGR lovers......

Hello all,
i'm trying to port or install the MIUI rom for Optimus 3D. I've tried some things, but i don't know how start.
Somebody can help me or tell if the port will be avaible some day?
(I'm trying to install 2.3 MIUI without 3D support) OMAp4 compatible ROM and port it.
The official miui webs for more info: www.miui.com www.miuiandroid.com
Best regards
Well MIUI is based on CM7 and we know that aremcee has got it running on O3D so in theory it should be possible, but I don't know of any other OMAP4 phones to port it from, which would probably mean building it from scratch which would be really hard to do...
Unless there is another phone with similar hardware running it, then you could pull bits from CM7 to try to get it running, but that would mean getting CM7 for the O3D and I don't think aremcee will release it until its running properly with all the 3D bits working

It is really a hard job dude. We should wait for CM7 at first.
It will not support 3d currently i guessed.

guys cm7 is out (alpha) well now hope that the problems are getting killed, and i think after that miui will be available for our phones so again we have to wait
Hi, im not a Dev but deadly rom flasher. .. i have seen many devs porting roms from different devices as i saw galaxy Y running on GB, searched in forums that any dev has tried to port it for our sweet S3 but could nt find any. ... requesting devs to port 1 thankyou..

Thanks for replying, I have been using Htc hero since long time and have seen lots of developers porting different Htc mobile rom example Htc Explorer, Htc Salsa Rom for Hero and have been able to port Sense 3.0 for hero .... As m not a dev and I dnt knw programing ( m a navigator) so I don't knw anything but has any one has tried it?
never try to install other phones firnwares
every phone has a specific hardware and software.
never try to install other phones fiwares, it may cause your device dead or sth. if you are a programmer edit your own firmware.
if you want gingerbread rom go through cianogenmod7 or kyrillos10.
those two roms are in alpha stage but stable.
porting..

It would be possible, but it's harder than porting it from source.

I said it is impossible because it is VERY difficult, not really impossible.
However ther will not be any significant improvement to our GB stage:
1) When you port a rom you will need at least to replace original drivers with your device ones => If the driver for GB is still not ready that particular feature will not work even if it used to in the original rom (ie: b/w preview in camera in CM7)
2) Performances will be surely lower compairing to a rom that was compiled from source
At last i suggest not to ask developers to start porting a rom because they are pretty busy with lots of projects right now.
Hello guys
I am new to this forum, though I have some experience in its contents
I was wondering, what would happen if I became adventurous and flashed i9100 ROM for i9003? I noticed that most of custom firmwares; especially the ICS ones of MIUI (v4) and CM (CM9), continually support the i9100 model. I just wonder would the drivers get conflicts, as i9100 has Exynos CPU, which is different from i9003?
If someone tried, please share the results.
Thank you.
the only thing that would happen is that your phone will become unusable completely...
The i9003 and i9100 are two totally separate devices with separate hardware inside. The i9100 has an Exynos CPU, i9003 has an TI Omap. The i9100 has a Mali 400, i9003 have a PowerVR 530. Don't be adventurous by flashing an S2 or any other rom on the i9003 except ones made for it. It's a pretty general rule: DON'T flash other devices roms onto your phone, you'll end up with a fancy paperweight

Well, If you do that, Your phone would magically turn into an expensive paper-weight.
Just, Dont flash ANYTHING you find outside the I9003 section on your SL.

I wonder what is the difference between vibrant and sgs4g as i have seen a post which shows how to port vibrant roms to sgs4g.there i have seen that only storage is swapped and kernel and modem obviously,wifi,rild,etc..
are these changes enough to port any vibrant rom to sgs4g?
help please as i am trying to port a vibrant rom to sgs4g
i ported the miui rom from vibrant to sgs4g today
why cant we try porting vibrant's ics rom to our phone then? please reply
ICS is being worked on by more than one dev. Give it a little more time.
i know that thomas raines is porting an ics rom from nexus s but my point is why cant we try porting ics from vibrant which is almost similar phone like us
@erik
may i know wt all changes you have made while porting vibrant miui to sgs4g
just curious dont misunderstand me

hello guys, I got this iphone 4s clone mt6575. since then, ive always wanted to get a new rom for this phone. i've worked on porting some CyanogenMod 7 on this device but it doesnt boot. please help me im just a newbie and im sorry for my bad english:crying:
this is the backup of my stock rom
www dropbox com/s/mma4wgc1n6uw1jr/NastyJeax_build.V1.0.0.rar
dont be bothered with the build coz i made some modifications of this. lol
hope you guys help me with this. PLEASE.
you cannot get cyanogenmod running on your particular device at this time. a cyanogenmod based on this chipset is in work, but is barely working yet. (just SystemUI starts, everything will FC).
ouch.. . that doesn't sound good.. anyway, can u give me links to the cyanogenmod development of this chipset? please

They are gonna need it as without the full and proper kernel source code for each and every device that runs that chip it will never work completely. This is the reason CM doesnt support cheap knock offs.

I had CM10 on my Jiayu G3 with the 6577. I'm sure it could be done someday. It actually ran quite smoothly. It just had a few bugs with some apps and had a battery drain but was otherwise rock solid.
think its possible for this chipset (MT6575) coz i found some posts proving that they have sucesfully ported CM7 and i actually tried to port using thier ROM with no luck at all. why my system apps starting with "BR" like BRMms.apk?
