Jelly Bean 4.1 Download (Not usable for flashing, can devs look inside for clues?)

http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JRN84D-from-IMM30D.5a07884d.zip
SO there is the link ^ for jelly bean, but it only works for "takju" devices that Google gave out at I/O, so this update is for the GSM Nexuses that were given to developers. I was wondering if any developer can use this and mod it for possible use and flashing with our One X's? Just wondering. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think we need source code before we do any major porting. Correct me if im wrong

I think we need some more announcements posted on the forums. Obviously we all live under a rock and need to be reminded of its release every 10 minutes with a new thread.

[REQUEST] Pls port Sense UI to our beloved R

Hey guys (adam,grarak,vikram,selva and other gr8 developers)
I have seen many ppl talking abt sense ui which made me think dat it mite be gud. So finally one day i saw the sense uo and was amazed it was gr8. I even tried to use the guide in the general thread dis 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721539
But honestly i dont know a think abt porting and the kitchen et cetera, et cetera can any of you pls pls port sense ui to our Galaxy R. It will look absolutely stunning. I am sure many ppl would want to try sense on our R. So guys if u have time pls try and port the sense ui to our device. Possibly whoever wants the sense ui can +1 in dis thread wat u say?
Thanks and regards.

Even i m thinking the same. Sense UI is something different from others. Great transitions and what a nice widgets it have.. But let wait if any intersted dev would say yes for this..

Sense UI is definitely very great. But it is a huge beast having a lot of custom modifications to the core system. Extremely hard to port. Even Sense4All project has many issues.

Exactly. The matter which complicates things even more is that no Samsung and HTC devices share a chipset, making it impossible to find a common denominator so to say

If I helped you, please hit the thanks button!

Sense UI is really something.. We all know that.. Even i would love to see it in our SGR.. If the developers are interested, i think we can conduct a poll question for this topic.. What do u say guys?

Poll for what my friend? Just read Adam's post. This is a hell lot of work. We might as well port the S2 Official JB ROM before we are even half way through this. As it is Adam has his hands filled with CM, Karthik is resuming AOSP soon, Grarak has multiple ROM's and so has MJ. I suggest we focus on getting stable ROM's rather than a myriad of unstable/unusable ones. Just imagine, all that work and what you get in the end is a Sense Look Alike, half stable that a FEW people MAY/WOULD like to try. Not a good deal I feel.

So d point is we wont get sense

Sense doesnt make sense
No offence to anyone but personally i do not like sense. Hell ! even my friends with htc dont like it cuz it eats resources and battery! Id take CM10 or 10.1 over sense anyday . If we are talking about launchers , I feel the need for a customized version of trebuchet in which there is an option for rearranging icons and making folders in the menu.

I wanted to know this.
As said "Porting official JB of SGS2"
Will that be like an official JB to our phone without samsungs permission?
As in can we make it something without using root access or anything?
I am very desperate to get official JB because i am scared of using ROMs.
I have tried them all (PAC, CAMP, SLIM, CM10.1) but then the root and custom mods which voids the warranty makes me feel insecured.
Because what if my charging jack died on me and im not able to revert to the stock rom. Has happened once. So...

U simply cannot port it from SGS2 bro.. Our SGR h/w is entirely different from SGS2.. It aint possible for us to port from other devices.. If we have to port jelly bean, then Samsung have to release a source for us or build jelly bean for us which is highly unlikely..

I wouldnt have been so stupid had i studied android/linux.
Finance people you see..
But still i am like..
Why cant we modify stock s2 jb rom or any other stock jb rom and make it compatible with our device.
Tell me why because i dont know anything about porting.
Okay agreed at a point that hardware does not match..it is completely different..
But cant those things be edited so as to make compatible?

Nobody said its impossible. Its just super-difficult. We cannot port official JB for approx the same reason why we couldn't port the official ICS. Samsung implements a completely different set of framework and libraries for each of its devices depending on what its hardware is. If you wanted to port an official Samsung ROM you would have to re-write most of these framework and library files which are hardware dependent, which eventually culminates into a mountain of work. Sound Good?

This is THE BEST EXPLAINATION i could ever get.
So like if 10 or more devs work together on a particular stock rom..then only we can have it all?
Then another question is why would any dev waste time on stock roms when they can make better roms
Bdw it sounds tough..doing must be tougher.

[Q] Porting

Hi guys, sorry if I'm posting in an incorrect section, I have a question for you.. if I want to port for example CM10 to a device which now has only gingerbread, how can I do it? I've seen many tutorials about porting but they said that the port works only for the same android version as the base rom..

you can't port roms like this..the hardware configurations must be similar of the phones...
and then there are more things like resolution...search for a tut on xda!

So I must take a CM10 from a device that has this rom and also has same resolution and hardware configuration, no?

Resolution is not a must.. But it is preferable to port from phone of same resolution!

Sorry for asking so many questions but I want to start deving and porting.. for example, my phone has only GingerBread 2.3.6 , if I find a CM10 rom of another phone that has the same hardware and resution, can I port that rom ? This is what I didn't understand from many tutorials I have seen..

Before porting any rom, i do advise to go through few tutorials to see how android is build etc.
Basically you try to port a rom from any device, but it is strongly recommended to port rom from a similiar spec device.

its entirely different

Entire soc is different

Well, it wouldn't be too much of a problem at all. Porting devices with Cyanogenmod as a base is easy, a lot of tutorials available... but make sure the device has the same resolution and the ROM you're trying to port is also based on Cyanogenmod (AOKP, PA, PAC, MIUI etc.).

But i could install S2 rom to S2+? or better not even to try?

It can only be ported if you're device as cyanogenmod ported to it by another(better dev) after that the process is really easy

Motorola Moto G
What are the chances for a MotoG SlimKat? The device is near-AOSP and the sources are available.
Also, considering its price point, to say it's going to be wildly popular is an understatement.
Keeping fingers crossed!

it can be done, in facts its not even that hard, slimkat was my first port project and if the sources are available then it will be even easier
but you need the CPU sources, the Device configs and the kernel sources
widely popular im not so sure about
people always want the best phone and(as people usually think)"more expensive is better"
the motoG sounds like a "my first smartphone" kinda thing and and people dont usually root there first phone for a while(4 months on my first, 2 on my second, waited for exploit)

I would love to, but unfortunately we lack a kernel for the PrimoU (Htc One V) in fact we don't even have one that uses ION memory yet :'(. The highest android version we have a working kernel for is currently 4.2.2 so I am learning to dev 4.1.2 so I can move up once I'm confident. I'm currently still struggling through Slim3.1 build!
Trying to squash goldfish breaking it right now.

Thanks Zawata,
in case anyone else comes across this problem I fixed it by using the CM10 Goldfish. Chaning the google one out for the CM one in the locla manifest.
