hdmi merge with jb kernels? - Samsung Infuse 4G

surely im not the only one thats thought of this? is there a way to merge hdmi functionality with a jelly bean kernel?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

IIRC, to "merge" functionality of HDMI, the drivers have to written up from from scratch. The only roms to have it, I may be wrong, were stock roms, or roms based on stock.

ok so this would takes tons of rom writing knowledge and time lol no wonder anyone would want to tackle it. except maybe a major corporation who would pay someone to do it. im geussing you couldnt take a stock rom and basically copy most of the code to another rom? i mean "copy " by writing similar code into the newer rom to get it to work.

really thats all that really keeps me from running all the jellybean flavors on my phone. if someone took the time lol they would probly already have came up with a newer version of rom by the time it got done. oh well too bad im not a coder lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

In theory, everything is possible. But honestly, for this to happen, we need Adam outler, entropy, and some others to get this done. You would have to get hardware info, and have tons of spare time to do it

Whats with all the urgency? Its not like porting is an overnight process. Porting typically takes days weeks and sometimes months.
It is not that easy. I believe Gingerbread (2.3) requires a new kernel. That we do not have, nor do we even have kernel sources for 2.2 yet. It might be possible to port PART of it, but there wouldn't be 4g, amongst other things. Also, this would likely be the GSM version, which leaves us without a proper modem.
So all in all.... Probably not going to happen.
I saw this posted earlier on androidcentral I believe and they were talking about a password on the .zip I think maybe it was the filename but google it for yourself lol

At least we can test the os. Radio and 4g can be solved in time. We just want to test this rom. Also, I know how long it takes to port. Lol

Apparently you really don't. CM6 is still ages from being ready for the Epic for example.
Not to mention we don't even know how to full extract or even flash these files properly.
Stop being so impatient about this. It will be no easy path, period. In all honesty, we may never get it working.
There might even be problems further down. We might not have a touchscreen driver, we WON'T have keyboard, hell the screen might not even turn on.
You seem to think that this is some easy task that will be accomplished, and it is not.
Simply put; Don't get your hopes up.

ICS Ported to Captivate

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324831
It's works pretty well for it's early stage. I have it on a Captivate now and it does have some functionality. No camera, GPS seems borked, but 3G and WiFi do function. Things are looking up folks. We may actually see some Ice Cream on our phones! The Movie Studio doesn't work (for me at least, not sure about others), but it's a welcome feature once fixed. Something Android has been missing since the start. This could prolly be Hellraised, but I'd wait until more kinks are worked out. It's very Alpha at this point.
If all these other phones are getting ics ported b4 us then hope might as well be lost We don't have as much dev interest as all these other phones do.

Well, if we wait for the cappy or i9000 to get it first, basicly our infuses is the same device, just bigger and a tiny bit different. Then linux could probably port it pretty easily.
Wow!
That was fast. Infuse Kids....I think we're gonna see ICS before AT&T blesses GB!
And that would be a shame. I'm very excited. I'd love to try this out on my wife's Cappy for a spin. Will a nandroid backup successfully restore the custom GB Rom she's rocking now if I flash ICS?
WTF my old phone gets ICS before my current newer phone. I hope we get something soon.
I tried messing with it today changing the boot.img and some egl and lib files...havent got it to boot yet....im thinking we r gonna need a kernel with modified mtd partitions before we get a patially working port..

There have been more that have been locked as off topic. It seems like every day there's a new topic about someone porting ICS for another phone.
And this doesn't really mean ICS for us any more than the I9000 port did.
Regardless, I have some time off finally, so I'm working on something.

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.

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...........

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).

Get a rom that you like and tear it apart and customize it to your liking. I do this a lot. It is a good way to learn. Make sure you know how to get yourself back to stock if need be. I have had myself in some pretty good jams before testing out my own work.

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

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.
