I might as well start practicing that ROM building project. It'll be harder than I expected, since it's not my Galaxy Nexus but... screw this, my Xoom needs life.
Also, it's a developer preview. It's so developers can build apps for the OS's release in 2014. It isn't a ROM or even a consumer preview.

thats a good place to start right ?
Could we start the port for the Xoom as a forum or IRC runned project allowing both devs and noobs like me to join the project and work on parts they can perhaps?
that would be awesome

According the the ubuntu website, some one with the name ~smartboyhw is porting it to the Xoom
wiki.ubuntu[DOT]com/Touch/Devices

well i'm definitely very very interested in this!

Is anyone actually working on this? The Ubuntu WIKI lists a 14-year-old kid from Hong Kong whose last blog entry was last September - not to disparage him, but there is no evidence he's actually doing anything.

Never. The devs have gotten together and made a pack to never release an ICS rom.

First, learn to type. Second, "c" isn't a word it is a letter. If you cannot form a cogent question or sentence then I'm not sure why you are here nor how you figured out how to get dressed in the morning, presuming you did.
Lastly, there will be an ICS based ROM when there is a bloody ICS ROM and not one minute sooner.

oKAY.. soo ICS gets released.. ASUS a multinational corporation that is on top of releases hasn't put out an update. Neither has Motorola.. HTC.. LG.. ACER.. or anyone else that I'm leaving out. And you are being a baby about people (who largely tweak and create on their own) that develop for our TF for free and just because they enjoy doing it?
Uuuumm.. cheer mate!

If your going to pass judgement then you better be naming everyone. There seems to be a list of people in the thread who aren't prepared to have endless ETA questions asked that 1. can't be answered and 2. I promise will make the devs not speed up.
Its pointless and should be ridiculed at every opportunity.

The source will only make ics for galaxy nexus. When our hardware comes on the git then we will build. But chances are by that time Asus will release it themselves. What is this pact about?

I hate to tell you but ICS is already running on several TFs. A few things don't work and without those it won't be released. (Wifi is one) While it is likely that they may need some hardware sources don't assume they don't have other ways

I'm glad you know that "c" is slang. If you're going to speak and write like an ignorant fool of questionable upbringing you should hardly be surprised when you're treated like one.
I'm angry that people ask these dumb questions and then act like jerks to those who respond, because it means that there is a greater chance that the devs are going to systematically hold back a release of ICS ROMs just to get back at the douche-nozzles who start these threads. That means that for every one of these threads, I have to wait extra time for a release.

[Q] Where is Fuss???

I dont knw if i should be asking this or not but where is this guy??
Fuss???
There is so Much Fuss about Fuss...Where is he???
Look at dhiru...working day and night to get stable cm9.. Vishal fighting and asking for help to get a kernal v3.0.. Vurrut also tryng his besst...
But...the question..where is FUSS??? Is he aive or what..
anybody knws where is he???
We don't know and he will appear when he wants. The thing is, we don't pay the devs anything so we can't do anything about it. There is no point in complaining that devs made empty promises, they don't owe us anything, what can we say? I feel it is also wrong to keep on spamming devs about kernel 3.0. Yes it may make a stable cm9. However, devs need the time and resources and it doesn't seem too easy to port kernels. So there is no need to pester the devs. Though fuss hasn't been showing his face, he may either be building something for us, or doing nothing, we can't do anything about it. There isnt much point in complaining about devs I'm afraid. Put yourself in their shoes...

Ha ha ha...poor i9100 s2 members ...!! Actually I am quite happy because when people were donating phone to fuss I almost did everything to convince people not to donate fuss as he is just a new in development. But as he had ported ICS sdk people were mad behind him for ICS development & everyone criticized me that time. And now look...where is fuss...!!! He made miui based on cm7 but all we know that JP007 did remaining 90% of work. Just few days ago he released an ICS sm9 based rom but u can clearly see that it was themed cm9 rom of Dhiru. Nothing new in that rom. Donation to fuss is a lesson to those people who dont want to look development history of a perticular developer & blindly believe who make fake promises.

Dont take me in wrong way but I am not agree with u. People are criticizing me because they feel that I am spamming the thread of UC kernel. But I only know one thing that we all donate a phone in expectation that developer will work on those thing for which phone has been donated to them. But if developer is working on something else then cant we have right to tell them what we want...?? Its not that we are paying for them for development. Its about promises & expectations of developer & people who donate them.

Guys I´m here.
I said I will bring MIUI when I came to this device and of course most of the work was done by other people. I really would like to help you in CM9 but I never said I can manage it and I can not fix the bugs that are in it now. And its the same as always you guys can´t read clearly ^^ I said to the people in the S2G community I will bring them MIUI and there was not a word about CM9!
Read then write
Due to the fact that theres nothing to do for me for the Sl I also offered to send my device to a developer for Sl who needs it for free but nobody answered! Nobody! What shall I do more ?!
I really don´t care about a phone that you can buy for 150 euros I will not disappear with it thats not really useful
@fuss132
I didn't quite understand what's not useful.. Hope u didn't mean the phone..
Anyway dude if YOU think ( I mean, completely ur decision) there's nothing u can contribute or u have no time for the i9003 forum, best u give it away..
The i9003 is a small forum and we can't afford to have a donated device lying around without the Dev working on it..

We need to make a correct decision this time, I mean a really proper one. Ask developers (especially Dhiru) who they think can really help in our phone development. And before sending the phone out, ask that particular dev whether he will really commit himself to the development, IMO it is better to have a committed dev rather than a recognized one but with a little time with our phone.
Btw, big thanks to Fuss for all the things that you have done to our phone, and I wish you future success with whatever phone you are developing into

Next Steps to ICS ROMs

I want to start off with I am not a dev. I am merely a member of the community that wants to see progress forward toward more amazing ROMs for the Tbolt. The other thread about a new base got closed so I wanted to open this so that productive discussion could continue. I hope that the community can come together and continue to produce the quality ROMs that I've found here in the past. As I said, I'm not a dev but if there's a way for me to contribute please let me know.
Santos has put out many different great roms. Also heard ziggy has said that when the source is dropped he will make a new kernel. So that's good news. Not many devs are left as the phone is old and Santos is about the only one deving the new ics update. If the source drops might have to get another bolt to play with. I like what he did with the leaked update. Maybe once the source is released some of.the old.devs might wanna.tinker. and make a Rom for old time sakes.

From the files that I grabbed after doing the OTA I have a base OTA ROM working now, yeah me. I am going to debloat this thing now....I forgot what VZW's ICS looked like.
I am still having issues with it though, sometimes it just starts to lag a lot. As soon as I get passed the setup stuff I can check root and gets some logcat's to see what is going on.

fyi, Santod's RC6 is pretty good, it is Desensed and it is really fast. So far so good, might stick with this while I play with creating my own.

Good to hear on the base front and thanks for the recommendation on the RC6 definitely going to check it out
If anybody has questions about developing their own ROM based on the OTA, you can go ahead and ask me. My ROMs based off of the OTA are MacekMod Mecha Rebirth and Galaxy Clone (galaxy clone rebase is still in the works, dont think I have forgotten about ti )

I had headed over to your thread to download a fresh ROM for my old Thunderbolt (I've moved on, but I like keeping it up to date), but the thread is closed and the links removed. I had meant to grab it a week ago, but kept forgetting, and now it seems some drama has caused it to be removed.
So now, I see in the development section that there's barely anything modern for ICS besides that stock one that Santos has. And I'm definitely not going to register at yet another forum to access a couple extra ROM's.
Moral of the story is... I am definitely looking forward to seeing more than one solid ICS ROM here for the Thunderbolt

Well, those "couple" other roms I have, are actually 7 other roms aside from the 4 stock ones.
Of course nobody will force you to join the site or to use those roms.
It just seems to me anyway, that it may be a bit silly for someone who wants more ICS options, to not go where those options are, just because they don't want to join a FREE forum.
Anyhow, I wish you all the best on your hopes for more ICS roms for the Bolt coming here.

No need to get touchy, it's nothing against you... lol. The Thunderbolt is one of my old phones that I only use for media purposes, so it's not very high priority. If nothing happens here, I'm sure I'll eventually break down and head over there to grab one.
I'm just tired of registering at a bunch of different places just to grab a ROM, that's all. I pretty much stick to being registered here and at Rootzwiki these days, and I'll grab stuff from sites that don't require registration on rare occasion. Just a quirk of mine, that's all. No offense intended

I was just doing the same.

Custom Roms and Software Future

Hey guys,
atm I'm looking for a new phone and as it just dropped 50€ in price I'm highly considering the Honor 8. The only thing that worries me is that there are no Custom Roms. Right now I'm using a Samsung S5 with AICP Android 6 and the Nougat Update just around the Corner. Will there ever be stable and really Daily driver usable custom roms with Stock Android for Kirin CPUs? If there is no hope just tell me and I will move on searching but if there will be some developement in the future I would love to own this phone.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I recommend you to read more threads about development here, that way you'll understand the situation better and why it's like that.
At the moment, no roms and no one working on it.
Its so sad that this awesome device does not have any custom roms yet

Thanks will do that but doesn't sound to promising.
I'll give it a month, if there no custom ROMs I'll stick to the 5x or buy another device

There are some that are working on it but to be honest developing for this device is almost as bad as developing for xiaomi devices. There are a few teams that were working on it but then just tossed the device aside and said it wasnt worth the trouble.

As of for me (I am in the beginning on the path of ROM development and still learning) it's hard to start with a kirin device, but in the future I may start supporting kirin devices.

I thought about it as well but honestly can't afford another phone when my n6 is still a beast. I have looked at some of source and it is a mess. Almost completely unreadable.

It's definitely hard to develop for a kirin device

Yeah mainly when they don't translate stuff out of Chinese. Which even translated comes out to gibberish. This is why many of the teams just gave up on the device and told the people that got them the device that it just wasn't gonna happen.
For now, be away from Kirin devices if you look for Custom ROM. Stay with Qualcomm or even MTK...

What do you think if we can translate those stuffs from Chinese to English? I think on XDA there are quite a few Chinese member, although this translation is definitely HUAWEI's own job...

Some have tried. It doesn't translate well due to the different dialects that are used.
I would pick the Karin over mtk if I had a choice myself.

The best part is when they misspell something and instead of changing it they leave it like that everywhere
{ "band_5g_enabled", HISI_CONFIG_WIFI_BAND_5G_ENABLEED},

. I also hate when when they define their functions STATIC in uppercase, it just makes no sense.
I am going to send an PR to the ViM developers to include a Chinese translator [emoji13]

It was easier for Huawei to make those files available in english and for the community

Not really, they are Chinese so it's easier for them.

I do agree with you it's easier for them to make them in chinese.
All I'm trying to say it isn't that hard to make the files in english (as it's the most used language) and it will be easier for the community to get started
After all, it's up to them
At least we won't get a ****load of copy/pasted buggy roms made by people who don't even own the device or know what a kernel is.
I now find myself more comfortable with this phone and exactly 0 kernel kiddies around, than with my previous Samsung and the perpetual expectation/hope/false illusion of someone to finally make a decent update out of the hundred available variants, which yes it let me keep the phone a year more, but always on the edge of instability, and with an additional decrease of its used market value (a 2-years old phone still has some market; 3-years old is ready to trash).
I don't see criticalities on this phone for now; we'll get Nougat and an EMUI refresh in a few months, and that's enough for another year. Except some defects on status bar and notifications, I don't miss any of the 10000 features of the various fully modded CM13 roms.

only asking because like Steve Jobs said "great artists steal". you can always grab a famous but clearly disfunctional or outdated app and say "this is how it should be", and who knows, you might even sell it to the company youre helping
in end it look like a 8 to 10 month project.
i just want tit look like i have made something and it appreciated in the last....... and something new is also be completed in the project... which is problem solving

not sure i understood that, but what kind of apps do you use that you like?
UX is everything so maybe you can make something to perform an action comfortably
