Basically, I'm trying to port this rom to the Samsung Vibrant. I am using the latest Cyanogen Mod nightly as the base rom and following the tutorials for porting roms to other devices. I just want to make sure that I have properly checked everything, since I'd rather not test the rom on my device without community help. I've checked to make sure that the resolutions are similar, etc. My question is, is there anything I'm missing or anything that I should fix?
Accidentally double posted: Can a mod delete this thread?
So, anyone willing to answer this question for me?

Hello XDA,
I have bought a new android device for myself today, the Sharp FX Plus (Model: ADS1) and I've been browsing on the site to find some compatible roms; But no luck. I've used the forums before to successfully root and put a rom on my ASUS tablet with no issues, but this one is a mystery. Is there a thread with what roms are compatible with my phone or has nobody ever really looked into this phone? I've tried to google it with no luck, either. The phone is already rooted, I got that far, I just can't find any roms that are 'confirmed' compatible with it.
Thanks to whoever replies!
P.S. I'm slightly new to the whole custom rom thing - but I do somewhat understand the basics.
metoo!
I too have a sharp fx plus ads1. I have my phone rooted but am having no luck finding a custom rom. I understand it is kind of an entry level android and maybe out of date but it has all the capabilites I need. I also know enough to root my phone and install a rom but not good enough to actually create my own custom rom. Is there anyone that has the time and enjoys doing so that would help out with a custom rom for these phones? I found a page that mentioned updated to 3.2 with a new rom but there was no link for the rom so I'm thinkning it was a fake. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I posted in Misc Android Development section here, trying to put the information in a centralized area for any potential development on this device.
Recompiled the CM7 Kernel as a test using the device's config.gz, working on getting the CM7 source to go (its being tricky lol). I have a test CyanogenMod 6.1.2 ported from a Z71 that runs, as well as a modded stock 2.2.2 ROM. A "dirty-port" test of a Z71 CM7 rom boots with some mods (no radio, networking, etc..) - so there may be some hope for this lil thing!
Hope that helps
Firstly, sorry I had posted same question in (I don't know where). But I need to post it here in Verizon.
I have installed HE update, Rooted, Unlocked, IMEI backed up, Recovery installed.
#1 Do custom ROMS include the baseband or not? Meaning, does it override the HE I have installed?
#2 Do ROMS need to be specifically designed for HE baseband, for me to flash them and work properly?
Thanks.
PS I am waiting for the Milestone release of AOKP, how will I know if it is made for the HE, will mess up because of me having HE? Is it buried in the AOKP change log, or does the developer control that?
No and no
I may be wrong, but as far as I know, AOSP ROMs (including AOKP) don't build for a particular radio. Until we get an official Verizon TouchWiz jellybean update, the RIL and other networking tweaks in AOSP roms are made from scratch, and should work with any radio. Some radios may work better or worse for you with any given ROM, so you might as well try them all until you find the one that works best for you.

First things first....You didnt know where to post a question....there is a q&a section where you posted....dont be ignorant.
Thread moved to q&a.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some information on porting from one version of android to a higher version. Preferably from 1.6 Donut to 2.2 Froyo or 2.3 Gingerbread. Is this even possible?
Also, could anyone tell me what phone I could use that is similar to the Behold II (SGH-t939)? Is the Behold II in the cyanogen repo? If it is, anyone know it's codename?
I have a build environment set up for cyanogenmod, and I followed this guide. I have got to the gpg import and was wondering if the gpg block is device specific somehow or if it is universal.
Tying in to my first question, is whether there is any way I could get the proprietary files and kernel information out of a rom file instead of off the phone. I have a custom rom installed on the phone that isn't working 100% but I don't really want to put the oem rom back on. Unless I absolutely have to.
Also, once I do actually get the proprietary information and kernel stuff, how exactly do I incorporate all that into a new build?
Sorry, I am just starting to learn about android development and need some guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So, Since the Cyanogenmod source is so big (I heard that it has 19GB), people like us who have gay as slow internet have no chance of even trying to cook a ROM for our unsupported devices.
Since I can't download the whole CM source and I see awesome ROM's out there, I Ported one ROM called Cyanfox (which was made for Samsung S2 i9100) to Samsung Infuse 4G using Beanstalk ROM as a base. I followed a guide which asks me to replace some folders and edit some files. It was walking fine. Then came an update to both the ROMs, Thinking that cince it is a update, it will have the updated apps and source, I tried porting them again but this time Beanstalk updated ROM as a base cause a bootloop while the Beanstalk old ROM works fine as a Base ROM.
Now what I don't get is, why is Beanstalk new ROM not working as a base? (Since the new Beanstalk ROM will have updated Source, I want to use that ROM as my base.)
And the second question is, what files does actually matter when you are Porting or cooking an Android ROM? (I mean like windows works on all kind of PC's all it needs is the drivers right? The drivers actually matter on windows)
And the 3rd question is can I update the source files somehow without downloading the whole 19GB CM source and if possible how?
The 4rth is, I heard from somewhere that boot.img is the file which separates the phones? Then why can't we just port ROM's by replacing boot.img since these two phone's are from the same vendor and it has likely specs. (Which is not possible I think)
I am really really a newbie to this thingies, I just wanted to clear out these things. Sorry for my noobness.
Thanks!
