ICS port possible?

I know the news has been going about that official source has been released for ICS an course like a lot of other people are wondering what it can be ported over to. Now me i personally have no clue how to translate all the technobabble dealing with creating roms from source but I'm sure there people here that do understand it all what would it take to get ICS on our phones? Like i said i have no clue in reality what goes into rom creating with phone drivers an framework tweaking (i know our phone is "special") but just curious.

Nobody here can get gingerbread on it let alone ics. Don't hold your breathe for either one. Lol

dw9906 said it best. Its not impossible Im sure, But, it would be close to it.

Definitely not impossible. Just need the right people to work on it.

You can't go from froyo --> ICS , it'll be impossible you need to work with GB --> ICS if your doing a SDK port , if your doing a source then i don't know .

Well making a ICS port for the sidekick i'd hope it be using the source since then with source you could create a kernal aswell a the rom

ask anyone who has ported a SDK , your going to need to work with a AOSP base or perferably CM7 base w/ a CM7 kernel , you don't know what your talking about .

well isn't the issue with GB that we DON"T have the source code for GB so you can't hand make a kernal for our device? While with ICS with the source out we could hand make the kernal and the roms so they work on out system if i'm understanding how to create a android rom an kernal correctly its easier to work from source then from SDKs or porting a rom from another.

The issue with porting GB is that we don't have a source designed for our phone. there's all sorts of GB sources released, but none that have been designed for our phone. That ICS source is the same source that CM is based on, it's AOSP (all open source project), but it still requires a newer kernel.

Its "Android Open Source Project" not "All Open Source Project", that's funny.

[Q] ubuntu phone os or firefox os port possible?

Porting Ubuntu seems to be fairly easy, once CM 10.1 is released I'll try porting Ubuntu. About Firefox OS I haven't had a brief look at it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers

Firefox OS is built upon an Android layer, which means it is built with the actual android source code, so a port should be something trivial.
I think Ubuntu OS works in the same way.

EDIT: When I say android source code I mean the source for the device and the kernel, not the android os code itself.

Excuse me..please post this in general section..this thread is nothing to do in this section
Mods please move this thread to general section

@gurasees the more the better isn't it always so.
My suggestion is to port paranoid android 3.x(preferably source built). You can use Paul.L sources(take permission of course).
@Raj joshi the mods usually don't monitor legacy or low-end device thread so you might have to pm one.

my sugest is to make a good cm9 for fit because we have too small screen for pac

I also think that Galaxy Fit has a screen size not suitable for parandroid because parandroid is all about hybrid interface and better on sizes above 4 inches according to me.
Currently i am working on a rom For my new Nexus and will begin development as soon as i am finished with it.

Please dont port other Roms, at the end we just get unstable and incompatible Roms; You can see this ports in the forum all of them have bugs . Will be great if you build a pure AOSP for Fit 2.3, No one finish that proyect, and right now the proyect is dead. A Stock gingerbread base and theme Rom will be great too.

Yeah please!!!!Miui is under aditya...He will manage thatCan u plz try pure AOSP gb?

Can you confirm CM9 and CM 10 require similar specs?
Then we can use the source tree used there to edit this MMX one accordingly...
Since varun.chitre has stopped we have to get this done by ourselves....

Guys with out the full kernel source which the OEM refuses to provide your not gonna get very far. And the source for the MTK chip is not the full source. We are in talks now about what to do with these forums as they break our gpl rules.

The version you stated uses the same thunderzap kernel by vatun.chitre[most part of it]..and it will work without much problem because cm9 is based on 4.0.4 and thunderzap is based on mmxa110 4.0.4 kernel sources which was released by mmx at the first place....and we still do not know if they will release JB kernel sources or not…so I am not sure if cm10 works will go the same way as of the cm9....I will try to compare the two kernels later today though......

CM9 is not a problem, IMO. I think If someone just starts it it can be completed within a week[atleast boot].. Because everything is available.[ kernel source + CM sources + device tree]. But CM10 requires 4.2 kernel sources which has not been released while CM9 requires 4.0.4 kernel[source code available publicly + thunderzap is based on 4.0.4 kernel, so no need to do much work on kernel.]
EDIT:
A110 Device tree : https://github.com/varunchitre15/android_device_a110
Thunderzap[based on 4.0.4 kernel sources] : https://github.com/varunchitre15/thunderzap_canvas_2
and CM9 sources links : you can get from their website...
4.0.4 Similar Stock Kernel : https://github.com/aquila-dev/wiko_s9081_stock_kernel
Now what I found yesterday is WIKO Cink-King JB kernel sources : https://github.com/wiko-sources/cink-king
So, I now think that If we do some progress we can correctly boot CM10 by using the JB kernel to edit and get a custom kernel for a110...I am not very sure...This is what I think...If anyone can advice, It would be great...

fyi - those build DO NOT REQUIRE any Custom Kernel. i switched zImage in the CM9 boot.img and worked like a charm. we`ll need to get those mediatek propietary sources working. im working on a CM9 myself, does not get further than our french friends here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246892 .

I have no idea on this part...because, till today I thought kernel customizations are needed to run cm. So we can use the cink-king sources + device tree a110 for this. I really have no idea...

me neither xD does not have such coding skillz yet. for this build, on this point, it isn`t necessary. maybe you cant use e.g. TUN/TAP when not compiled in the kernel, but basic features should work.

I'm one of those frenchies that try to make it work. As you saw we made it boot actually without that much problem, but before saying it works there's a lot of work.
I'd like to explain one small thing here since it seems people or thinking that because Cyanogen released the sources, we can get something working on any device. THIS IS WRONG. Even if we have a kernel sources or a "device tree"
Cyanogen includes some vendor sources, like Qualcomm for exemple. This why you'll get some things like
Code:
BOARD_USES_QCOM_HARDWARE := true
COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_HARDWARE -DBINDER_COMPAT -DANCIENT_GL
COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_LEGACY_OMX
in your "device tree" configuration.
Then take a look at the stuff that are in android_hardware_* there's some source code for qcom, some for samsung some for texas instrument and strangely nothing regarding mediatek. Those files are important otherwise we need to use the binaries already compiled to make them work.
Looking at the assembly code from the actual wiko-peax running under ICS, some modifications have bee done on hwcomposer. So we can't use directly the provided headers that are inside cyanogen sources since they are not the one used by mediatek. Mediatek hwcomposer for instance uses a mmumapper that nobody else uses.
I didn't look deeply at the JB binaries from mediatek, but I don't think that they like miraculously decided to switch and be directly compatible with the AOSP sources, so here there's a lot of work to do on the sources themselves.
This is why we're trying to work on CM9 since some partial sources have been leaked about an actual device running ICS. Thoses sources are much more modified then the one that goes with the binaries we have, but can be start point.

hard luck...but do you think it might be because of kernel issue...did you try with kairi kernel for 4.2.2 or you can check with him to get support...

Boot also has some issues.
Its not entirely the kernel issues.

it wont work(easily) by just porting..it has to be vendor specific files from CM to make the framework boot..i have compiled my own CM Rom(for Nexus4) before and its much easy to build than port.. i am eagerly waiting for summer for the AOSP project to start..

Even we are waiting for your AOSP based ROM!

The major thing that we are missing for our device is CM...if we get CM then our device will be excellant...

CM can come if someone builds CM from source.

Start from kernel porting is correct way. As two devices are similar, after replacing kernel to the one that runs on your device, it will boot. Without working kernel you cannot debug with logcat.

i'd be better building it ground up to make sure everything is fine..kernel is easy to setup..the vendor and device files are the PITA..since this is a unsupported device and the next closest base is the Droid DNA..
