Working ICS ROM from i9000 released!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365884
All we need is a few devs to port it to our Infuses, but basically everything but the camcorder works! (Camera works, just no recording)

Can't wait until something is available for us to try.
infused miui

I think we would need a modified kernel to port it

I was playing with it a little bit earlier. Couldn't get it to even flash. I didn't look into it much though. I was going to try flashing it and then Hellraiser just for fun to see if it would work.

Hmmm maybe.... or get linux to do some reverse engenerring lol.

You would have to rewrite the updater script to even get it to flash properly before anything else

ICS thoughts
I am really hoping that ICS will get ported to the Infuse, I have been running an alpha on my Inspire for the last 2 days and I really like the direction it takes Android. It will look better on the slightly bigger better Infuse screen and faster proc.
Cheers
BR

The kernels are veeeery different though (2.6.35 for GB, 3.x for ICS unless I'm mistaken) so I'm not too sure what we can do unless someone compiles one from source...........

Working on a little something..

I know someone will port it. I can see LB working on it right now. We just need to be patient and it will come.
And D, I'm sure you are also working on this. Port masta

Sorry for the delay in getting something out. Due to a specific bug and general lack of power on my main system, I've decided to set up a MONSTER build system that should build ICS in no time. The issue is, it's not wanting to install Ubuntu 64 bit. With Ubuntu 32 bit it will only show up as 8 CPUs and 2 GB of RAM (though that should be more, it's still a very small fraction of what it has). I've been trying all day to get it to install and it's been fighting me every step of the way from EFI issues to SATA III issues. Once I get it up and running I should be able to get some builds going. Stay patient!

Well, if it helps any, I've got a Fedora 15 box I do my builds on. I've got a ssh port open for it. You're welcome to use that for the time being if you'd like. It's a little older, but it builds nicely (Dual 3.2GHz Xeon, 12GB RAM).

Maybe you can do something with this: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cm9-cyanogenmod-9-for-galaxy-s/ Remmeber our device is pretty much the same thing as this with few differences, letting hope rain on us . You guys could use that to start, just a problem is since it is related to Cyanogen mod maybe linux is a guy to contact, he will not answer my pms idk he may be gone.

We're definitely going to need a kernel developer to bring us Linux 3.x.x.x

Linux bozo could (wont answer, prob not happenin) bedwa maybe could (I think he is amature, doesn't know all tricks) ummm entropy ( loves gs2, may do it but doesn't like developing on infuse as much). That's really our only options right now. We can try em all, but def no garuntees.

Haven't messed with kernel development much at all...idk ...I think our development are cooking one up for us tho...I have faith...

We should set a bounty, lol. Idk what to give though, maybe some free mp3s or email them an itunes gift card number hmmmm.

Thanks to those who worked on Zeus

After spending about 6hrs. trying to figure out how to mod my phone, I finally got Zeus installed and freakin love it. SO much better than the stock OS. I originally didn't plan on modding my phone, but the linux tinkerer inside got the best of me. And I'm so glad I did.
Thanks to everyone whose hard work makes this possible. Much appreciated.

After spending the past 9 yrs or so having "fun" with linux on the desktop, I needed a new challenge. Now my phones(s) will be the target of my "hacking".
Again, thanks to everyone involved, I really appreciate the hard work that goes into it. Hopefully I will be able to contribute in some way. I'm not a coder, so it will have to be in the testing realm. And, after being an ubuntu tester/bug reporter since long ago, I'm more than happy to help any way I can. I'm used to things breaking.
Keep up the good work and peace. Btw dman, I live about less than an hour away from you in marietta ga.

Whoa....that's close... :/

You should try R3VELATiON.
There's been a bug floating around there I don't have it, and neither do D and Nun.
Track it down and I'll buy you a cookie.
X,
on R3VELATiON w/ gangsta fleurs'.

Excuse my noobishinesh, but do I have to wipe everything? I'm thinking I do. Not a prob. I appreciate your patience. Btw, I have almost 10,000 posts in the ubuntu arena, and am an Ubuntu Member . (not just a forum member, I kind of work for them) I'm a noob here in a sense, but I feel at home.

I can't wait to try out and test any roms you guys push out, World class.

Coming from a developer, I would expect you to use linux from scratch, slackware, or even arch. Mint? My little sister and all her friends use mint. I heard there's even a Hanna Montana version of mint, you might wanna check that out.

Bruh... Ive build ics full roms on mint.... Dont get it twisted... Mint is a powerhouse..... Looks like yiur litte sister is smart... Im currently compiling my second build for the note on mint...

That's the response I expectected...but thanks for pointing to the 0.1 kernel! The 0.3 kernel (now called rom racers kernel was there) everyone is not a noob just cause they have a valid question...I've had this phone since the week it came out in November, I've rooted devices from a Nook Color to a Super Pad, and all those in-between. I actually exchanged my 4S for a skyrocket..(best thing I ever did) Ive flashed every rom and tweak for this device. I just get sick of idiots trying to make ppl look stupid for asking a valid question on these forums..:beer:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

i would have to agree with you. i haven't had the phone for nearly as long as you have but from browsing around xda (specifically gs2 and here) i have to notice that by comparison development is much slower in this section.
disclaimer: this is by far not a complaint, just an observation. i love the development that IS currently taking place and am very appreciative of it.

What about search lol

I think dev work is kinda slow on alot of phones right now. I know it has slowed down on my nexus s because a lot of them are waiting for the new sources of ICS to be released. A lot of the developers are doing great work. I think once ICS rolls out it will take off. IMHO.

I wouldn't say activity is slowing. Although new releases are fewer now, there is plenty happening as far as cooperation and collaboration is concerned.

this x 1000, and said by a dev lol

I feel pretty good about what we have now. ICS will come eventually, who knows when exactly but it will come. I have two other android phones and a tablet that all run ICS very smoothly. But I still choose this gingerbread runnin beast everyday over all the others. In my humble opinion, there will definitely be some frowning faces on the day ICS is officially released for our device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Honestly its all just hype. ICS will come out and within 6 months we will be jumping to the next firmware. I think the community should put more focus on fully customizing and enjoying the capabilities of gingerbread. I really don't think we will be satisfied otherwise. That's why devs get turned off to making ROMs. They make something awesome and we use it for a week and then want more. So much greed!

Only reason I say vaporware is because it was announced in February and nothing has come of it since.
We are working to get my project to work like ubuntu's but with the dual core requirement etc. But we are working on native graphics etc etc but who knows they may release something soon

I would love to see an HTC Sense ROM ported to the Infuse! Sadly I don't think I would be of much help on the developing side, I wouldn't mind being a tester if you ever happen to need one though.

Yeah, that's fine. Although the ROM will work for the most part, please expect major problems with it, since it is a port of a port.

Thats not really a problem. If you don't mind my asking, what version of Android will it be running?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

IIRC, it will be running 2.3.6/2.3.7. I do believe that it uses CM7 as a base, so expect those issues as well as other

But we already got much faster smoother and more stable jellybean!
I don't see why would you want old sense UI
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

That's not the point. I just wanted to know if there was interest in it.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

It's harder then you think....
First you got to find an HTC device with a similar (preferably same) chipset...which is rare since most htcs run qualacom hardware
A while back I did find a device with pretty much the same chipset that should be useable...gotta see if I still have its ruu (ruu is HTC official Rom release...actually stands for Rom update utility)
You then gotta extract the ruu contents (requires both windows and linux...)
Then you need to build the infuse kernel from source changing the bootclasspath in the init.rc and other stuff relating to sense instead of touchwiz
I'm not saying its impossible...and its still something I would like to do...but unfortuantly I just don't have the time to really do anything anymore due to school and work...and I recently got into league haha...so when I'm not working or at school I'm either with friends or playing league...but usually I'm at work or school. Oh yeah my infuse also got stolen...so no device to work with anymore (damn car fishers)
That's the basics...theres a few tutorials on how to port sense to no sense devices that can help you...just google how to port sense
Anyways, good luck...thus reply was mainly.to let you know what your in for and what kind of computer setup your gonna need (dual booting linux/windows)
Edit oh yeah...pretty sure the device I had found had an ics 4.0.4 stock Rom...at least for Iraq users...but English should still be an option in that Rom and if its not we can always add it in...anyways ill let you know later if I can find the ruu/device for you to work with
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Not to be mean, but I've got the hard part covered. There's a sense port for the captivate that rums on top of cm. I'm not saying that its going to be super simple, its also not going to be as hard as you described.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

I think were talking about similar but different things...
I think your talking about taking an sense Rom that's already been ported to a non sense device and then porting that port to us
I'm talking about taking an official HTC sense release, extracting the contents for a flashable zip and porting that
Regardless either way requires kernel work as the init.rc needs to be edited -which is an easy task for those who can work with source
Anyways, goodluck the more options the better...there will definitely be people wanting this as its unique for the infuse
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, if I wouldn't have owned a captivate, I wouldn't know about all of this, and I wouldn't even attempt this. And yes, I'm talking about a port of a port. I'm by no means a dev, but I'm slowly learning, and I thank you for your help.
