Anyone Interested

Hello my name is Master&Slave over from the Tmobile Galaxy S II Community and im just wondering if anyone would like to port my ROMs over to the SKYROCKET
I know you can just flash with the conversion package thing in which I have never tried but it may perform better from a complete port.
Here they are Tuesday & Paradox II.
I do my own themes so if you want to port without my theme on it, feel free I dont mind at all, just trying to offer more ROM choices.
Cheers

I'm curious on what your "themed aosp messaging" looks like. Can I get a screencap of that? I might steal the apk for it...

I think you're stuff looks real good you should hit up silver wrx, or mod1441 is love to see what you guys cook up

Very Nice themes

I wouldike it I'm using a from from the t mobile section with the conversion package. I would love your ports.

Definitely would be nice if someone could port these over. I've run different 989 roms for weeks at a time, they're basically fully functional yet not the same as device specific. I for one appreciate the offer M&S, always wondered why more devs haven't "cross ported" in order to further expand your portfolios.

Don't own the device, technically I do with the Tmo version but you know what I mean. Never flashed a SkyRocket ROM ever nor looked at the framework or internal files.
Should I just put these in the Dev section here? Since you guys can just flash with the conversation package?

As far as i know the only hardware difference is in the physical mounting of the accelerometer.

There's also the lack of framework for LTE support

ROMS look nice man

If you use 727 rom as a base you can get rid of the heavily reported "2d lag" noted so often in 989 forums. (just a thought)

[INFO] Why we don't have ICS yet + more info about it

Hi, I have noticed a ton of people curious about why AT&T people do not have ICS yet, so I thought I would answer that once and for all. I admit that I and others have gotten a little mad whenever people ask about this, but it seems they are not able to really find a clear answer, so here it is.
If you feel like this is well done, please sticky it at least until we get it all figured out.
I figure this would be best said i a Q and A type form.
Q: What is ICS, and why does everyone want it so bad?
ICS or "Ice Cream Sandwich" is android version 4.0.x. the next version, 4.1 Jellybean was just released as a slightly less important update, but ICS brought huge changes from Ginger Bread (2.3.x) the previous phone version (3.x HoneyComb was tablet only). ICS brings a slicker, darker, and better looking user interface, as well as many performance enhancements. Most of us want it more because it seems like we should than because it is actually that much better. That said it is still a great update, and most people will be happy to see it.

Click to collapse
Q: Why is it so hard to get ICS for our phone, while others have it even though it is not officially out?
The main reason is our locked bootloader. That means it is not possible to flash or boot a custom kernel unless it is signed with Motorola's key. That is obviously impossible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: What is a kernel?
the kernel is a major part of any operating system. you can think of it as a sort of layer between hardware and software. It is the part of an OS that communicates directly with a device's hardware. Android is based off the open source Linux kernel, meaning it is free for anybody to build and modify. However, Motorola has only released the source for the ME865, and partially for the MB865, meaning we can't really build a kernel anyways. Then of course, even if we could build one, we wouldn't be able to boot it with our locked bootloader.
ICS is not really complete without the newer kernel that goes with it

Click to collapse
What is Kexec, and is there any way to unlock the bootloader
The fact that I grouped these together would probably lead you to correctly believe they are related. Lets start with the second half. Simply put, NO. I hate to say it, but there is very little hope of EVER unlocking our bootloader, unless Motorola decides to do something like HTC did and allow unlocking.
Kexec is a method of hot switching kernels while still booted. It is actually just a linux tool that you can use on a computer, but it has been built for android essentially allowing you to bypass the bootloader. Theoretically it would be an easy way to run custom kernels. Then why don't we? Well a few reasons. One, we can't really get one built to begin with, especially because, at least to my knowledge, jimbridgman is the only one who actually knows what he is doing with kernel building, and he is only half here now that he got his fany new SGS3. Two, it does not work great. I am not sure the latest version is working at all on our phone, and even if it did, only one processor comes up, meaning it is really slow.

Q: What's the deal with these Droid 3 builds that supposedly boot?
Some people managed to build ICS for the droid 3 based of a 2.3.6 kernel. that means you can boot it on a stock GB kernel, and therefore you do not need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately that means it is not totally ICS, but it is still pretty good. Of course they are for a cdma phone, so that means no data, no calls, and no gps, making it kind of useless.
I am not going to give a link to them, but if you are really interested go search around. any of the Droid 3 AOKP and CM9 builds will boot just fine. Find more info in the dev section, but please don't start a thread asking about it.
We have been trying to port these to work for us, but that is proving more difficult than expected, and with ICS just around the corner, I don't want to put time into it. I do think it is possible, and if you are a dev looking to give it a shot, PM me and I will tell you all I know, and try to help out as much as I can.

Nice post..
Just one thing to inform about your last question's ans.. DROID 3'S ROMS DONT WORK ON OUR PHONE. IT WILL BOOTLOOP. SO DO NOT TRY FLASHING THEIR AOKP OR CM.. without backups and sufficient knowledge and experience atleast.. some changes have to be made in the rom before flashing.. i am trying to find all the files we must replace to get them working on our phone.. and just a FYI for those of you that wanna try.. other than droid 3, bionic is our nearest relative.. so u can edit and try their roms as well.. i did kinda get cm9 of bionic after replacing some required files.. but it bootlooped.. and of course bionic is cdma.. so.. good luck..

Please I emplore you to do your proper research before making incorrect posts like this. I constantly see posts from those who think they know it all, and post idiotic things like this. Nothing makes me madder than someone who does not know how to use google and the search function.
It takes less than 2 min. to make sure you CYA before posting bad information.
Both CM9 and AOKP boot, but with no radio, as has already been said in several posts now. I have tested both.
P.S. most of us devs in here have been working on this very thing for sometime now, and I have not seen you jump in on any of threads discussing the files or how to port or anything.

Agreed, They actually run extremely well, but obviously I can't stick with them with no radio.
P.S. this is my new best thought for porting, might take some extra build.prop work too. It did not boot for me, but I think we should be able to get it to. Then it is just a question of whether or not the radio will work. there is way more in build.prop on that than I would think.

I think it may work because it really adds the cm9 stuff to our own files rather than add our files to it. maybe not the cleanest way, but it might just work.

I have tried this method along with every idea that popped in my head of things to alter after following this guide. I have a highly modified build prop that AOKP boots with that I replaced with a lot of our build prop but there are still some things missing as no luck yet

sense rom port us galaxy s3?

Is there or will there be a sense base ROM port for the u.s galaxy s3?
Back when I had the T-Mobile s3 months ago there was rumors floating around
That one was being ported to the international galaxy s3 and once
It gets at least a full stable build it might have a port for the us varients
I now have a Verizon s3 and I was just watching the sense port on the
International s3 and was just wondering if there can be a port of that to our
S3 as well? It would be nice..

As of now no but there have been a string of ports for the Verizon version of our phones.

I was basically saying a string of Carrier ports from one carrier version of this phone to another. he didn't get the memo. You didn't get it as well as the creator of the post responding by pointing out the string of ported ROMs from other carriers. In the end it is irrelevant as the creator of this thread got his answer 2 months ago and my first post here was on January 13 2013 and at that time there was a half dozen ported roms from other carriers. Since then there was only 2.

If you're looking for actual sense Roms I don't think there are any, however there are some Roms out there like Hyperdrive, CS Rom and Beans rom that have some features baked in and selectable. For instance you can choose the Sense battery look, Sense recent apps and so on. It all depends on what you're looking for from Sense exactly.

he was looking for a sense rom port it says so in the opening post. At the time he posted this there weren't any. As of now there still isn't any.

There is a difference in the hardware between the US and international versions of the S 3. That makes it difficult to port.

ROM Development.

So why is the Photon Q's ROM/development community so small? I'm sorry if I should know this already, but coming from Evo 4G and Touch Pro 2, I'm kinda use to a big community of users and devs.

I think some devs are waiting for JB official. There's no point in making a new rom based on ICS.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2

The answer is simple: there isn't many people with Photon Q here, and up to date devs with more skill are only those who are GSM modded (me, and now nadlabak, who is coming from MS). And obviously, my time is not unlimited, so that's why.
You should however check the dev support beforehand, it's not something you can expect automatically for every phone.

I'm aware of this. I wasnt asking because I was disappointed or upset by the lack there of; I was just wondering why development was practically non-existent.
Ive never done rom development, but I have a little programming experience. Perhaps I can start helping.

Well, I have ported CM10 to the Photon Q but it's for those who made the SIM card mod only (CDMA not working).

They see that as "custom firmware" intended to circumvent carrier restrictions, which currently is illegal in the states.

new roms?

So its been some months since note 5 came out and i understand it just got rooted and custom kernal, but why is there only 1 rom? I say 1 because i count moar as a custom rom, the other is stock rom with removed bloatware.

Alot of people still holding on to the note 4.

Other devs will be here soon as well... (Ahem @sac23 ahem)

I know what you mean, a debloated ROM would be cool. But so many of the other variants are supported by roms in the regular Note 5 development, kinda sucks no one wants to support CDMA devices
