Hello everyone,
My device is a galaxy tab 7 plus and we currently have a fully functional CM9 build working perfectly. I've been following a few guides on how to port AOKP to this device and non of the guides worked. I also read that cm9 and AOKP are one of the same. So if u get one to work the other should easily. But it doesn't seem to be working. So I figured maybe porting won't work. Maybe I have to build it from ground up. So are there any tutorials on how to do so? Or is there a way I can bring the RomControl menu to the current cm9 build?

you should double check the device can run AOKP, it may not even be supported. And building from the ground up is probably a little excessive
Well the devs in the galaxy tab 7 plus section ported cm9 and its working fine but there are only two devs and they both said they have no interest in making AOKP work on our device. The device shares the same hardware as the galaxy s2. I've compiled a couple of builds and mad a logcat and they all pointed at the audio drivers and some other problem. So far I couldn't get passed the boot screen... so I thought maybe I should stop trying to port but start trying to build. I mean I've seen so many devices that have lower specs then this device running aokp so I don't think specs are an issue here..

So, I was perusing the CyanogenMod forums (anxiously awaiting CM for Infuse) and saw that hey have a stable build for the i9000. Anyways, since the CWM that's working with the Infuse is for the i9000, any chance the CyanogenMod for the i9000 would also work on the Infuse?
Exact same answer in the MIUI question. Miui for SGS is based on CM7.

No because of the Kernel modules(drivers). The Mobile Linux kernel is very robust and well devloped, and I know the "Generic" Drivers will probally start the Display and Input but Samsung has alot of the drivers "Closed source". Gps mainly wouldnt work. And just cause the partition table is the same layout, I assure you , that is where the only similar trait resides.
Basically, I'm trying to port this rom to the Samsung Vibrant. I am using the latest Cyanogen Mod nightly as the base rom and following the tutorials for porting roms to other devices. I just want to make sure that I have properly checked everything, since I'd rather not test the rom on my device without community help. I've checked to make sure that the resolutions are similar, etc. My question is, is there anything I'm missing or anything that I should fix?
I did a quick search for this, but would anyone happen to know if someone is working / building port of the Vanir rom? I have it on my nexus devices and it is fast as hell...
Thanks!
No as the phone it is for has lower specs then the s3. As of now the following ROMs can be ported to the phone are s3 ROMs from other carriers and Note 2 ROMs. MIUI can also be ported to the phone. So far only one note 2 ROM has been ported to this device
If your looking for fast, try out the Hyperdrive ROM.

Wait, I'm confused. Vanir is an AOSP based Rom, so there shouldn't be that much other than adding in the stuff specific to the S3, right? The Vanir Rom (or at least what I know of it) is on the N7, N4 and the GNexus...
I guess I'm a bit confused.
Put it this way no one is planning to port it to the s3 if they were it would've been here by now.
Hm...I guess in that case: Do any of you guys know of any good guides for porting AOSP roms over? I tried following one way back when when I had a rezound and CM10 first came out but never got too deep in it. Figure it is worth a shot, I've got a Ubuntu VM waiting to go...
Before you do that you must seek the permission from the developers.
To port something over from github / source?
Now I'm officially confused.
Hey guys, I have been looking for a jb miui ROM for this device and i cant find one, i know there are some ics miui ROMs, but i would really like a jb miui ROM.
There is one for the vibrant, can I use it for my Galaxy s 4G or can anyone port it to our device?

Just because there are some homebrew ports doesn't mean that MIUI is 4.2 yet.

Why does it matter ? We use unofficial ROMs anyway...
sent from me
That's like saying that since a car, airplane, and weed-whacker all run on gas, you should just put the same stuff in each. Actually, the unofficial ROMS is a more tenuous connection than my gas connection. It's more like saying that since a bullet train, horse, and diesel bus all run on fuel, the fuel which goes into each shouldn't matter. It's all fuel.
Hey, you could (please don't) use an unofficial Vibrant ROM too. That's unofficial. What's the difference? The difference is that it won't work. And might brick your phone. That's bad.
Our only current Aries kernel is 4.2.2 and still has issues. MIUI is still 4.1.2 and would introduce an entirely new set of issues tied into GPS, Bluetooth, and so forth if/when a 4.1.2 Aries kernel was compiled. Does that make it impossible? No. But it means that as the build impetus - when MIUI is 4.2 - has not happened yet... it's not a great use of time yet. Unless one of the devs wants it. In which case, MIUI being not-updated is something they don't need to be hammered over the head with.

4.2.2?
Port. If YOU see source linked from that page so our devs could actually do something useful to build that...
Hi Theraze
I have to disagree with you.
Port is not a dirty word and most of our ROMs are actually ports and not built from source. Furthermore, MIUI ROM is usually ported and not built from source and only recently did Xiaomi open their sources for the public. Even more than that, both MIUI versions brought to us by Beast were ports from Nexus and not built from source.
Now, regarding the incompatibility between kernel & OS - if it works on Nexus, I assume the adjustments were made, so one can enjoy both 4.2.2 & MIUI benefits. There is no logical reason why it couldn't be ported to our beloved device.
sent from me
I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that our build-from-source dev who asked you to let him know when it hit 4.2 hasn't had his request met.
Does that mean that someone (him or another dev) CAN'T port it? Nope. But it makes it a lot less likely that air can just pull the source in and compile it using the Aries bits if the buildable MIUI is still only 4.1.2 and our Aries is 4.2.2 instead.
Again, I think we're agreeing on the general bits... yes, this is possible. But airfluip1 asked to be notified when buildable MIUI was 4.2.2 and that's when he said he'd build it. Not port it.
I don't care if a ROM is ported or built from source.
I will try to play with porting it myself.
In a few days when my wifi gets fixed i want to try to build MIUI 7 to my P3110 using this guide and this base rom.
Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-complete-build-or-port-miui-rom-to-any-device.3250984/
Base Rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-aosp-4-4-6-0-7-1-unlegacy-android-project.3410092/
Is this even possible? I could find two MIUI 5 roms for the tab 2, so 5 is doable. If 7 is possible then torture awaits me since my linux knowledge is not really good
And if i can't build one can anyone suggest me some devices to try to port from?
