Hey!
Would it be possible to port an older version of android to galaxy s plus?
Such as froyo (2.2) for galaxy s plus?
Why would i like that? Cause it needs less resources and i think the phone would be faster with a smaller OS

Maybe you are right....phone maybe faster with a smaller OS...
But...how many human in this world like to use old thing as newer, better thing already made available for us?? maybe only <= 10%???
Just my personal opinion and it doesn't point to anyone anything~
Still it would be interesting to see how it looks
Why development section?
Howver, I think, maybe it's possible, but noone should do this, it's a stupid think...why there is developping for port 4.0.+? Because is "development", and not regress. New OSs are better, it's normal.

Erm...Couldn't say so...This will be more on personal interest...
For me, I like GB for its overall stability as Samsung provides us the official GB ROM
However, compared to user friendly, better outlook I will choose ICS as my main choice although there are still lots of minor bugs waiting to be solved by our developers but I already love it so much^^

That is, obviously, just your opinion. I don't think GB is so much better for our phone than ICS, not even just a little better...
And yes, I think would be a great exercise try to port some old version to our phone, but just for learning or entertainment. I don't think no one would use it for daily use really.
i like the white status bar in froyo
would be really great :good:

So The Nexus One isn't getting official ICS because it doesn't have enough space on the system partition(speculation as no one officially knows the real reason) but do you think this will be the case for many phones including the Captivate? Would suck if the bottleneck for peoples phones would be “not enough space"
*Get Chance and Luck*
There was a link to an article (unofficial) that said Galaxy S, Nexus S, and something else would get ICS.

The main speculation for why the Nexus One is not getting ICS comes down to two things: ROM storage for the system and the processor speed.
First, the Nexus One only comes equipped with 512MB of ROM. After the system files are installed, it leaves something around 200MB for apps, which is not a lot. ICS is supposed to take even more space than GB, so having something like 50-100MB for user apps would be likely...and unpleasant.
The Galaxy S phones all have 2GB of internal ROM I believe, so I don't think that issue will apply.
Second, the Nexus One has an older 1Ghz "Snapdragon" SoC. Although clocked the same as a Galaxy S phone, it is made with an older design, and performs less work per cycle. According to a few articles I have seen, the "Hummingbird" SoC in the Galaxy S phones has up to 3 times the GPU power of the older "Snapdragon" SoC...and roughly a 30% increase in real world performance.
Given that ICS will have hardware acceleration for 2D drawing, the slower processor (especially slow for GPU type elements) is likely a big hindrance, that again, should not apply to the Galaxy S line.
So keep your fingers crossed for this I guess. I will be! I am confident there will be a working unofficial release, but very doubtful about anything official.

Both of those roms are for 6800 only. I'm using locerras cm9 which is great.

MIUI would be nice. +1
https://github.com/MiCode
You are all free to do it.
Now seriously, if no developer is interested on working with it, no developer will work with it, and it won't be ported to the 7.7. Since MIUI has been closed source (despite being basically a fork of CM for a long time), people tend to dislike it. A lot. If you believe it's worth to port it, be aware that you either need to do it yourself OR try to convince some specific developer to do it.
I wouldn't hold my breath, though. Even the much bigger CM10.x has only a couple of developers on our tabs (three, if you count aorth who uses the very similar Tab 7 Plus and builds for the 7.7 occasionally).
Are there developers to making miui rom?
I don't think MiUi would work on a tablet. I maybe wrong but i haven't seen it anywhere except on the 7" ones as they can be used in portrait

I ever seen on youtube. On Nexus 7, KindleFire, and HP Touch pad. But, the UI becomes Phone UI. Indeed, MIUI ROM does not fit on the tablet. And I hope to miui developers to change it into a tablet ui.

1s! Really glad you took the time to do the op justice and I hope people use this and leave the devs alone on their work space thread! I wanna say I'm really glad to see sense come to are phone. I always wanted a HTC phone for sense but I have always stayed faithful to Samsung after my iPhone 3gs which I had idroid on it or maybe that was my 3g idk. After seeing how far we are I'm glad to see this totally seems possible to do and development hasn't died after the ROM boots. I'm grateful for all the talented devs we have here!

My question is, once it is ported, would it be easy to mod the rom or tweak it to make it smoother, or would it be too fragile? Could you just flash a mod which was made for a HTC One rom? or would each mod have to be changed to be compatible with the port?
Keep up the good work

It's actually depends if it's Rom dependent. But I would say yes. Unless it's not replacing any necessary libs
I would say yes since I saw a Samsung tablet port to note ii and they said don't use mods for note ii. Use tablet mods. So it should work. I honestly never use that much mods. So can't say exactly but it's most likely no.

Just found out on this site that apparently our device -should- be getting an official Samsung upgrade to 4.4
Now, a similar list stated that it was going to get a 4.2 upgrade as well, but we never got it, didn't we?
So, how up should we keep our hopes?
I personally find it extremely doubtful.
Also, apparently kitkat should be smoother and more lightweight than jellybean, so that it could apparently run even on older devices.
I'm a bit skeptical on this as well, but if it were true, we would find ourselves with a very interesting new os upgrade...

IMO it would be fapping over useless numbers - "look buddy, I've gotten android 4.4"
observing that every next android needs more and more ram including the fact that samsung would never release an official rom without their heavy-weight Touchwiz - this upgrade won't happen;
2 more reasons:
- sammy is not willing to release two system updates/upgrades for a single phone except for their flagships like s, s2, s3 or note family
- I expect to see same excuse as for galaxy s9000 - not enough ram for the system and touchwiz as was the case for the expected official upgrade to ICS for the device (or no explanation at all)

Getting 4.4 is impossible, many manufacturers don't want to lose money and time updating old phones such as this one
Only s4 and note 3 will get it
I bet they won't give support even to the s3
S advance is a very old phone and having jb on it was something rare, imagine an new android on this phone officially
4.4 only cm

We didn't get 4.2 because it was very heavy software.
4.4 will be lighter with less RAM usage, which allows a wider support.

Hmmm, really hope for it to have less RAM usage
So hopefully low end (such as the l3) will be supported as well (via cm)
To be honest, yes, cm or custom ROMs are what I would expect. Probably more than the official firmware update itself.
Judging by teamcanjica's activities as of late, I wouldn't be surprised if we were to get it relatively soon.
These guys are amazing.
Also, does anybody know much about that French company that Google has acquired to speed the whole new system up?
Can't remember the name right now...

Well, after trying TeamCanjica's 10.2, I have no doubt that once they get their hands on 4.4 or CM10.3 (is it 10.3 up next?) they'll get it running just fine. I've said it before, I'm saying it again... these guys are wizards.
I don't know if our phones would handle 4.2/4.3/4.4 with samsung's bloatware and be useful after our experience with 4.1.2, but something as lightweight as CM, yeah, why not.

Less ram usage.. But then every manufacturer build a new device with higher ram..even on the Nexus 5. Seems contradicting at some point but maybe that is what people want.
