Q] why is there no Galaxy S II Ports

I kno most people hate touch wiz but i'm sure its not true for everyone. I was just curious why there are no touch wiz ports?
Sent from my HTC ⓢⓔⓝⓢⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝツ using XDA Premium App

Mainly because it's a pretty basic launcher which can be emulated and infact surpassed by paid for and even free launchers, sense on a sgs2 is more of what I would call a challenge and if possible a worthwhile port.

You can try Go Launcher EX, the default theme looks like TouchWiz

I have no idea, but I hate the fact that I expected a phone will TONS of great ROMs, but instead now find a whole bunch of the same ROMs, just with different tweaks.

Damn.. I guess I'm one of the few people who actually likes tw. I think it's just a psychological thing - I saw so many damn videos for months before getting this phone featuring stock tw that I don't really want other launchers on here. Plus, I had a captivate before and then an iPhone 4. So, tw just feel right.

Lol shut up, theres always someone thats on here thats all uptight ready to start ****.
Although, I did forgett to say Im not bashing the devs and their work, just saying that I EXPECTED more roms and such, as in, ME, as in those were MY THOUGHTS. Therefore, I said why I THOUGHT something, doesnt mean I gonna go do the same and release a rom myself.
I will NEVER bother creating roms, thats why I come here. As the majority of you do.
Just because my attitude doesnt seem apreciative, doesnt mean i not. I actually DONATE to show my appreciation, unlike other ppl.

I'd hate to see you go. You are quite literally insane ( and I mean this in the most positive way possible) . I thought I put in some hours on stuff like this, but you run like a goddamn well oiled machine tirelessly. Wonder how many know you develop for other devices past the MT4GS as well... making your achievements that much more noteworthy.
I like how quick you are to help other developers, and i've enjoyed collaborating with you in the past and am looking forward to opportunities to do so in the future.

....and many thanks to anyone who contributes anything at all from Creating a ROM all the down to a helpful answer to a question. It's always appreciated.

Im going to start a joint project with blahblah one cm7 releases the device vendor code for the mt4gs.
Sent from my RubiX CubeD MT4GS using xda premium

The ROMs from Undead have been completely awesome. Apps run smoothly, memory is efficient, and the battery life is superb. I'm quite sad to see that he was banned due to actions from the past, and I'm slightly upset that there lacks a means for users to attempt an appeal on his behalf.

[Q] I wish we had CM7..

I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys

Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.

Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.

Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.

Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.

Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.

So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?

I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people

Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

OK I'm curious, your always bashing the sgs4g, why? Did it rob you or something!? You seem to have a major issue with it and I really don't see why. Because honestly its a damn good phone. Not having the most dev support doesn't change that, mine was an excellent android device completely stock.

Technically, the kernel should work fine. Its the device tree that needs love.
Know what I'm talking about? Check out DRockstar's cm7 bml kernel thread for sources in the epic 4g forum. They have cm7 running on ext4.
I'm no android expert, just kick ass with the kernel... But slowly I'm picking up on stuff.

This isn't going to end well, so lets nip it in the bud now. As is probably on all the forums there is no most/best/awesomemest etc. Its all subjective on what a person likes or dislikes does or doesn't do. I can say black ice, but the next person says AR, then the next says something else until you essentially have all the roms listed from the Dev section.

You don't even have to read a lot of posts, you read maybe one or two pages at the most and you'll find out, for instance absolution(the only Rom I use on my inspire) is extremely stable for me and is perfect for my needs but it may not be the same for you it may not work for you, you may prefer sense, so really its all personal preference. Threads like these get closed all the time because they're unnecessary since most of the roms in this forumare plenty stable except the ones that say they are betas and have things that don't work. There is that a good enough answer for you? Because that's exactly what that picture says. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I guess maybe you guys have more going on here with your roms then the epic touch community has atm.. there are probably 3 or four roms that ppl would agree on being the more stable and bug free roms....that may not be the case here, but like I said im out on vacation and was just hoping for a way to find something to fix my nieces phone before I head out home tomorrow. Either way I looks I'll just have do some searching of my own when I get back from the beach....best regards and sorry for being that guy to post a subjective question

I am sorry but I don't know what opinion I stated as a fact.
The point is that we have devs spending their free time building roms, tweaks, fixes, themes and everything else under the sun... and all people say is "what about ics?" How many times has this question been answered by devs themselves. I just looked in 5 threads and saw the answer 3 times. Its frustrating that nobody is ever happy with what they have and instead make posts about how we are a disgrace because we don't have ics. If you took time to read and understand there would never be a need for these topics.
Now perhaps I was a bit harsh but its getting ridiculous. My post was not meant to incite drama. It was meant to tell people to be grateful with what they have. In my opinion (not a fact since you can't tell the difference) that is more of a solution to the problem than just answering every thread the exact same way. This entire thread had absolutely no benefit to the community in anyway shape or form.

It's not in the OP but is a few posts down.

That was just asking for somebody to respond. But instead of just posting dang you guys should be grateful for what you have. Not that people make you sick. That just rubs me wrong and IMO you owe the community a apology for that. That was rude crude and unnecessary.

Y'all might want to have one of your devs look into porting a rom from the Vibrant (ics from 2.2 sources) yall have 2.3x sources and drivers which are handled very similarly in 4.x.x. One of your devs would have to make some alterations to existing Vibrant kernels since the GPS and Ramdisk and file directories are a bit different by comparison. Keymapping should be more or less the same and as i understand it yall have figured out how to get CWM running. Basically all yall would need to do is recompile an ICS kernel for yall's device (no easy task) n then use the framework and other files from a vibrant rom. Least that's what we didnt get 2.2.1 and hacked away at a release yall got

This phone is very different from the rest, is T-Mobile exclusive and we just recently got FBI source so of course were behind

Ehhh it is what it is guys. I'm sure you all knew what you'd be getting into before buying this phone. Can't expect much from it when its basically just a Vibrants cousin. Although I do appluad the little devs that have worked hard on this. But I think the same thing is happening to the Amaze. Great phone just like this, but it was just a Sensation cousin. That's why its always best to get the flasgship, and not its slightly bettter predecessor. That's why the SGS2 or 3 is what you should get, as well as the upcoming One X.
