Looking for a good base rom to use for porting i am just getting started with this and have read several how to's on the subject, just need some suggestions to get started.
A good idea would be to use cyanogenmod alternative.
For example if it's a gingerbread Rom then use cm 7 and so on.
Even I am not so good at this.
So forgive me I am wrong

Are you porting AOSP or SENSE?

Yeah, depends on what you're porting, but you should use equivalent base roms, like ICS -> ICS, GB -> GB and so on
JB -> JB.....

Also if porting sense, be sure to do the same thing with the sense version. 2.2 to 2.2, 3.0 to 3.0 ect. One more thing is to only port deodex ROMs. There is a lot less work that way.
And make sure you get permission to use the base ROM and the ROM you are porting before you post anything up.

The makers of Cyanogen Mods don't own samsung phones. They own HTC phones. So the chances of them porting to the SG3 it's very low. Specially since it's a lower end phone compared to the Fascinate and Spica. I think there's a CM for SGS.
They might not be having this phone but saying that they do not work on low end device is incorrect. Htc wild fire is also a low end phone. Gs3 is better than buzz in many ways.

Cyanogen Mod ROMs arent there yet for SG3. That said, we do have quite a decent number of custom ROMs available. There is a thread specifically for this ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950560
It has all custom ROMs, FIXes, THEMEs and such... Hope it helps those needing a custom ROM.
- Vishnu N S
Custom ROM, yes. But I'm dreaming about Gingerbread for SG3. Not theme for LaucherPro or custom framework. Real Gingerbread like in CM.
no man, no rom can be compared to CM mod other than kyrillos' rom, and even that isnt just as 'customizable as CM mod! besides CM mod is ginger bread whereas all other custom roms are im pretty sure froyo!

One question regarding this, even though it might be a little off-topic. What does it take for a Cyanogenmod port to become official, like getting it to show up on the Cyanogenmod website? I know there are people working on this port for the G3 which are not involved in the Cyanogenmod project, so is there any way to get it official even or is it just like another custom rom?
Is there a Vanilla Gingerbread ROM for the mytouch4G?
I know theres the Cyanogen ROM but thats not a vanilla ROM... I be more then willing to make one but then i don't have the Gingerbread drivers or the AOSP... Last time i tried making an Android ROM for my HD2 progress didn't go no where near flashing

I cannot share them exactly... i got them from a Paid Application called Absolute System. It's a root tool I strongly recommend this app. But anyway i can share a link with you from a flashable .zip here on XDA.

I too use that font. If you are going to use the flashable zip on a gingerbread rom you have to downgrade to cwr 2.5.1.x with amend script support.
there is a pure 2.3 gingerbread that faux put out. its not CM or anything its a base ASOP thats been built straight from google code if you want to check it out. its in the rom development area.
Yeah, was going to recommend Faux's AOSP build in the dev section. I haven't used it, but it is probably as close to pure AOSP as you are going to get and still be functional. Check it out.
Don't forget about ultimate Droid, 3.2.0 new for mytouch that has Gingerb, and idk if its vanilla but I can install the rom with 2.5.1.2 recovery, if that means anything at all lol

We are stuck with the stock ROM (a modified 2.2) due to the drivers not being open source. All the custom ROMs are just tweaks of the stock one and until someone reverse engineers our phone or we get a 2.3 update (both highly unlikely) you probably won't see much more development. ICS will never happen, the most we will get is 2.2 with an ICS theme
After done flasing ICS, what did u mod ur device? Use custom rom? Custom kernel? Add tweaks?? Change theme?? Omg, my brain will dead using this tab plus..im rooted, CWM installed..just that..share ur experience here...already tried cm9 and cm10, hav bugs..do we only hav cm9 and cm10?? i prefer stock rom..is there custom rom based on stock?

I'm in the same boat as you. My wife rooted her T869, and installed clockworkmod and wanted the QuickPanel mod, CRT tv animation, and custom boot animation, that she has on her T989, and when she found out that she couldn't because her rom was odexed, she flashed CM10, and while it did have some of the mods she wanted, it lacked the things she liked about the stock ROM such as the mini apps tray, the music player, and the task manager in the system settings.
She has also noticed that the font is way too small for her status bar, but overall, she misses the look and feel from the stock ICS rom. She just wants something that is exactly like the Darkside Evolution ICS 4.0.4 ROM that she has on her T989. It is based on the stock ICS ROM, but has the tweaks she wants and she has the customization options as well.
I have searched and asked if there was a deodexed/zip aligned rom based on the most recent UVLG7 update for the t869, but despite a few views, no one seems to have an answer. We have been looking into how we can try to deodex it ourselves, and our jobs takes up most of our personal time and so we've no time to learn, but we seemed to have hit a wall, and I am hesitant to ask because I don't want to be judged, warned or banned for asking what others might consider a "noob" question or ridiculed for not having the same level of experience as everyone else around here.
So, in the meantime, I just quietly wait and hope that more options will present themselves.
Actually i can learn how to deodex my tab...bcoz i done deodex my previous device...but, just deodex...i dont know how to tweaks, how to make a custom rom, how to make a custom kernel, how to make a themes(but i know how to change Jpeg file on system.ui and framework-res)...ohh god...i hope we will get dev on our section...

That's just the minimum that are required by them to be released I think, it's not everything. ATM our CM10 relies on some binary blobs for things such as the kernel from the S3 simply because there's no source available to build yourself and there's not enough documentation to write one yourself either.

I think you need to define what porting is for all these fine people, because they seem to be under the impression that you're brewing your own bases, with no faults.
It's not as simple as finding XXXXX rom and throw it on our phone with a few tweaks to make it run as well as it does on the source phone.
Bugs and issues that we already have will not magically vanish when you port a new rom. Because they're all using the same few bases we already have available (CM9/CM10, Sense 3.6, CM7, etc.)
Can someone explain further please? I'm not too good in this field

I'll take a shot
Porting to me is taking an operating system from device x and using as much of it as possible inside a rom made for our phone to get the same looks and feel as device x ROM.
Like let's look at MikXE for instance its a Sense 3.6 rom, and with some of the added tweaks, not all work because they were coded for a different device. Or the new AOKP, none of the startup tweaks stick, why? Again it was coded for a different device and the language that device understands differs slightly so the Tweaks don't work.
That's like following guides, sometimes the smali code is different, like when I inverted the notification area for MikTouch, the guide said look for 0x9 and change that value to like 0x4 well 0x9 wasn't present in the string of code needed but something like this was 0x423 so the smali needed adapted to function properly. Just like every version of android is different and needs different files, every device is different so the language needs to match that of your device or it won't work.
No none of this could true but it's the words my brain understand

You didn't read through this thread did you? If you read a few posts up, porting is different from brewing your own rom from scratch/addressing bugs. And it also entails more skill and knowledge to do so, which OP probably doesn't have yet
It amazes me how ignorant people can be sometimes... I was hoping by defining what porting is people would be a little more thoughtful before posting, but I guess not
