Does any one tried any Roms from other Galaxy S II that works on Skyrocket?
technically speaking... any rom "should" work if it doesn't touch the kernel code.
HOWEVER... any ROM that changes the framework might give you some issues. one example I can already imagine is that the 4G LTE will not be display correctly.

If it is from the AT&T GS2 forum, no it will not work. The phones are different in almost all aspects.

T989 is possible. Only ROMs from GS2 line that running Qualcomm SoCs could possibly port.
Anyone know how long it takes to learn to make custom ROM's? Is there a FAQ about it? Do you need to be a programmer, or just be familiar with the Linux kernel?
And it begins ...
The next sticky in this section needs to be "Recovering after bricking your skyrocket with a i777 ROM" I bet it would quickly become the most popular thread here.

Seriously though, you just need to learn the device hardware/software components,their functions and how they all interact then you should at least be able to tell what will/won't work together.
I don't know squat about how to create a ROM or mod these things, but 5mins of reading tells me that The TSGS2/OGSGS2/ASGS2 Rom's are not interchangeable since the Kernels/Radios aren't compatible due hardware differences.
Shouldn't we only need an original base rom or an ATT ROM dump to get started though? What about rogers & Telus LTE roms? Could we work with those as a base?
Anyone would like me to port my BeastMOD ROM?

Does CM7 for SGS2 works on I727?

Nope, CM7 uses an AOSP based kernel.. the only kernel we have available for the i727 is the stock AT&T kernel.
Patience.. think about this for a second... either create a Rom or get started learning . Development for this monster is inevitable ..

Can you give us an update when ics is coming for the infuse?
So I'm having difficulties deciding between the two. Which has better features and more stable roms? Also will having rogers version i727r make a difference? Don't wanna brick on my first flash. Any help is appreciated
I use SKY ICS.... I was reluctant at first, but since I switched it's been better than his GB ROM. Make the switch, you won't regret it.
EDIT: You caught me! LOLOL Well played.
I understand that there is still no fix for the Caller Name/ID issue on Rogers with ICS. That has held me back so far.

Is this the part where you get flamed for posting a question in the general forum? Fishy, very fishy...
I have been holding off from ICS because of the caller id issue. Flashed a couple roms from the first leak but went back to GB.
The cwm roms worked fine just found the caller id a make or break issue.

I was on CM7 for a while. Flashed Sean's rom on the Mrs SR and she's loving it. Gave it a go and haven't looked back. Another great rom is MODs ICS release. Try both and see which fits u best.
edit.
damn... smh coupled with face palm
The ICS roms are fun for about 5 seconds, then you realize that every variation of the ICS leak is the same.

I take it you blind too because those are for the USA version of the device which is running an S4 chip and isn't compatible with the international version of the phone running an S3 chip.
All new HOS's are running S4 afaik. My brand new EU HOS is S4.
There are som other versions in asia, like the SU and SE, but other than that theyre all S4.
What I mean to say is - S4 isnt an "USA version".

Never mind, looked into the three ROMs available and saw that they aren't that much different from the stock HTC Sense skin. I just wanna get rid of the Sense and get pure Android but oh well, I guess I just have to live with Sense. Thanks anyway.

Could always root and then remove all the crap you don't want and replace it an AOSP version of it.

Well not the skin parts like menus but you can remove pretty much everything of sense but make sure you have apps to replace them installed first.

Hey guys (adam,grarak,vikram,selva and other gr8 developers)
I have seen many ppl talking abt sense ui which made me think dat it mite be gud. So finally one day i saw the sense uo and was amazed it was gr8. I even tried to use the guide in the general thread dis 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721539
But honestly i dont know a think abt porting and the kitchen et cetera, et cetera can any of you pls pls port sense ui to our Galaxy R. It will look absolutely stunning. I am sure many ppl would want to try sense on our R. So guys if u have time pls try and port the sense ui to our device. Possibly whoever wants the sense ui can +1 in dis thread wat u say?
Thanks and regards.

Even i m thinking the same. Sense UI is something different from others. Great transitions and what a nice widgets it have.. But let wait if any intersted dev would say yes for this..
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
Sense UI is definitely very great. But it is a huge beast having a lot of custom modifications to the core system. Extremely hard to port. Even Sense4All project has many issues.

Exactly. The matter which complicates things even more is that no Samsung and HTC devices share a chipset, making it impossible to find a common denominator so to say

Sense UI is really something.. We all know that.. Even i would love to see it in our SGR.. If the developers are interested, i think we can conduct a poll question for this topic.. What do u say guys?
Poll for what my friend? Just read Adam's post. This is a hell lot of work. We might as well port the S2 Official JB ROM before we are even half way through this. As it is Adam has his hands filled with CM, Karthik is resuming AOSP soon, Grarak has multiple ROM's and so has MJ. I suggest we focus on getting stable ROM's rather than a myriad of unstable/unusable ones. Just imagine, all that work and what you get in the end is a Sense Look Alike, half stable that a FEW people MAY/WOULD like to try. Not a good deal I feel.
So d point is we wont get sense

Sense doesnt make sense
No offence to anyone but personally i do not like sense. Hell ! even my friends with htc dont like it cuz it eats resources and battery! Id take CM10 or 10.1 over sense anyday . If we are talking about launchers , I feel the need for a customized version of trebuchet in which there is an option for rearranging icons and making folders in the menu.

Will that be like an official JB to our phone without samsungs permission?
As in can we make it something without using root access or anything?
I am very desperate to get official JB because i am scared of using ROMs.
I have tried them all (PAC, CAMP, SLIM, CM10.1) but then the root and custom mods which voids the warranty makes me feel insecured.
Because what if my charging jack died on me and im not able to revert to the stock rom. Has happened once. So...

U simply cannot port it from SGS2 bro.. Our SGR h/w is entirely different from SGS2.. It aint possible for us to port from other devices.. If we have to port jelly bean, then Samsung have to release a source for us or build jelly bean for us which is highly unlikely..

Why cant we modify stock s2 jb rom or any other stock jb rom and make it compatible with our device.
Tell me why because i dont know anything about porting.
Okay agreed at a point that hardware does not match..it is completely different..
But cant those things be edited so as to make compatible?

Nobody said its impossible. Its just super-difficult. We cannot port official JB for approx the same reason why we couldn't port the official ICS. Samsung implements a completely different set of framework and libraries for each of its devices depending on what its hardware is. If you wanted to port an official Samsung ROM you would have to re-write most of these framework and library files which are hardware dependent, which eventually culminates into a mountain of work. Sound Good?

This is THE BEST EXPLAINATION i could ever get.
So like if 10 or more devs work together on a particular stock rom..then only we can have it all?
Then another question is why would any dev waste time on stock roms when they can make better roms
Bdw it sounds tough..doing must be tougher.
