As of right now, I am modifying and reviewing the code in the KVM folders in both sources. I just need to know as to who is doing what. It would be a LOT easier for anyone who is trying to port the CM GB Kernel to our phone. So far it is taking me all night long just to do ONE file. If I can get help with this. It will mean that we will get CM7 running on our phone soon.
i pm'ed you the link to krylon's source. Have a look at that.
Could we not port it from the Vibrant as described here?

AFAIK, Krylon360 isn't working on cm7 for sgs4g anymore.
I have the kernel almost working and should have something very soon.
RaverX3X has worked on the rom, and we are still testing and debugging a bootloop issue.

I know you guys are really-super excited for cm7. The most you can do to help is wait and be patient! Trust me... soon.

I knew someone was already working on it. I just wanted to help out a little. Yes, the KVM folders inside the vir. (I think?)

Sorry dude, I still have no clue what you are talking about.
Maybe provide full paths to what you're talking about?
If you searched around, or read under "Plans" in the OP of my kernel thread (serious everyone... it's been there for quite some time!) or search through Q&A or General, you will find me talking about the progress of where I'm at whenever someone brings up another cm7 or kernel thread.
I will also plan on updating the OP in that thread or at least point to a new thread... when something happens.
Something is being worked on, but unless you are experienced with android/kernel system development, sit back and relax. There are a few gb roms to play with, fb's debloat tool, if you hate wifi/4g reception or want bln/voodoo sound, go check out froyo roms (don't forget about bootloaders ).
Relax, if you want something good, you have to wait.
Replied to the wrong thread.
Nice i cant wait for cm7 port. Loved it with my g2 and cm6 with my old g1

please stop.
I know you are excited. You get me on chat and say hi, then log out. You ask me all the time for status... while I'm at work, doing work stuff. I can't touch this stuff while I'm at work, cause I don't get paid to do this, I get paid to do my work.
And no. I'm not "really close". There is plenty of stuff for me to figure out, and the ammount of time i'd spend telling you what is going on, I could be working on it.
I spend LESS THEN 20% of my time on this stuff, and nothing has changed from last night. There is nothing 'newer' then that.
Status: I'm not done. Nothing is ready yet. Check the forum for updates. I have no ETAs. Relax, go watch tv, hiking, learn to surf... do something. Gimme time. (btw, this is why I don't like adding people to my gtalk.)
Geez, sorry. Didn't have to flame me.

OK, If we want CM7. can someone at least tell me where to start. If I look at Bhundven's source, what do I do. I have the resource to do so.
Dude just leave it be, no offence but its people like you that discourage people from deving. Best of luck bh

Go to google and learn how to edit and compile the Linux kernel. I don't know anything about editing kernels either and that's where I'd start. Before you ask why you need to learn about Linux you should know that Android is based on Linux.

Its comments like that ... that discourage people from helping. Whether you have a problem with air or not you should still keep your comments to yourself. I have not ever even seen you attempt to help someone with anything yet you believe you have the right to bash others for trying.
P.S. When you just say "no offense" and then say something offensive, it does not make it ok.

Jiggly... if I may,
While I agree on the double standard on 'no offense', the point being made is that there is a link at the bottom of my signature that says 'github'.
If you venture there, you find repositories. The ones with the readme files are the 'useful' files.
If you want me to spoon feed the young, I will need more arms.
I wish this community would embrace the saying 'RTM'. It's all there. Black and White (depending on your system settings ). There is more then one forum on xda, and other phone forums based on the galaxy s phone also provide tips on building cyanogen. And the commands are only slightly different.
At this point with my source, a build if it builds would not work at all. I'm experimenting around with a few local repo's that are not on github. And when that stuff works, I totally plan on putting up a [REF] thread here in general on building sgs4g cm7 from source.
I don't plan on doing this any sooner then it working, because you don't need to be bricking your phone... right!?!
If you are an android developer and know how to build cm7, you would have found the manifest and never looked back. forked repositories, sent me pull requests to merge your code into my tree... so we can work together.
On one hand, I don't want to baby sit 'wanna be' developers that have no clue what they are getting into, because I don't want to play Q&A with them. It eats up all my time on making this stuff work in the first place.
On the other hand, there are real developers out there who know what to do, but might need some help. I do not want to push these people away, because they will just go and all I have to do is merge.
I cannot agree with you more BH. I appreciate all the work that you do for our phones community and my post was not a comment towards you at all.
I cannot even imagine trying to develop and help people with their questions as much as possible along the way. I know that every minute you are answering questions that is one less minute you are using your "CM7 time" to develop.
My post was simply stating that if you do absolutely NOTHING for the community (lowsnamebrand)... don't bash others for trying. I know people that were asking noob questions 6 to 8 months ago that are developing roms for other devices.
I do apologize if I offended you as that was not my intention whatsoever. I just hate seeing people shoot others down and bash others for trying. Whether you love airfluip or hate him, you cannot deny that he does try to help as much as possible. He asks what he can do to help (which may annoy people but i feel he really wants to help), answers peoples questions, developed AOSP rom and deals with a lot of the same "hand holding" helping people to flash roms.
Again, I am sorry if I offended you but my comment was not in reference to you or your work at all. Thanks for all that you do BH.

Haha, nah man. Airfluip1 is young and full of "go'get'em". I was like that once. A couple people gave me **** and I started reading everything I could get my hands on because I never wanted to be 'that guy'. He just needs the thwack over the head to go read more. (google, it works!)
Airfluip1 thinks that I am making daily progress on this. I'm not.
The only reason I said anything in the first place is because he keeps pumping up other user's saying "Oh, bh is gonna get cm7 out soon!" which really isn't being honest to other users. If I can get SKILLED help, then we can get cm7 out sooner. But I don't want to teach people stuff that they could find/learn on google. If you can't figure that out, don't ask to help me. It just annoys me.
My response to your post was supposed to have some <snarky> and <sarcasm> tags, I musta failed
I hope you laughed at the "if I may,"

Literally every other phone has some kind of beta ICS support. I've never developed a rom but i've found myself with some free time i don't want to spend studying for my ccna and would like to devote it to getting an aosp rom semi working. even if it's only the most basic of roms then someone more experienced won't have to start from scratch.
tl;dr I'm looking into making a sgs4g ics aosp rom and would love any tips/advice instructions that people have to offer.
Start reading the forums !!!
trust me i've been reading i set up my linux box and have been trying to find any info about creating an ICS rom but all i've been finding is stuff for gingerbread. btw this is strictly in my freetime and i'll need to wait till i buy another phone before i start flashing willy nilly on my baby lol so yea it's gonna be a while.
I don't think it was on XDA -- but Android Forums if I'm not mistaken.
There was a team who were making pretty good progress on it but unfortunately they had to drop development on it.
It was a problem of devoting time and bricked devices. If memory serves me correctly. Googling around rather than searching XDA will help you find the thread I was talking about. Because I sure can't. Might've been on Rootz too, really not sure.
I'm pretty sure FB was working on it. That or shutting up all the kiddies demanding more progress. One of those two.

testing
ok so it's unlikely that i'll be able to afford a new phone for a while and i'm not too excited to be testing this on my phone so my question is will anyone be willing to try out my concoctions on their device? i'm asking for people with experience recovering their devices here. i really don't want any "My phone is ruined" situations here. i'm looking for testing and feedback as i'm working on a kernel first the goal will be to get the phone to boot with ics.
With only 4 posts you're going to have to prove to others that you're legitimate before they want to try out your releases.
How exactly do i go about proving myself to the xda community?
I mean the people who matter and can help with this little project.
Get a rom out... Hahaha.
ultimately if you dont have the courage to flash it to your own device dont expect others to feel really well about flashing it for you.... (unless your 100 percent sure it wont hard brick them)..
It's not really a matter of confidence it's that i need my phone for work/school. Once i get another i wouldn't mind flashing it. I wouldn't ask someone to flash something that would brick their devices.

I use my primary phone for test flashing. . If you're gonna wait for another phone then don't start deving until you get that phone, or rather don't release your dev work until you're sure it works.

you're a rockstar thanks alot! actually spent all day searching for something like this been working from a gingerbread guide lol.
i have had it Guy's i am going to attempt some hard core development on this thing but i will be requiring some help from step 1 to finish.
i will be basing My rom attempt on the stock build 3.2 but i will totally change it to the best on my abilities.
all i ask is that someone offers me some help and/or buy me a beer or 2 coz its gona be hard to get this going.
i am quite new to all this so some ideas of what u want wouldn't go a miss and/or help.
thanks all.
If you never built a ROM it will take some time. Will need Linux set up obviously. There is definetly a lot of help online. Think you may run into same issue as garyd, no wifi module source code.
Best of luck, were all dying for a single ROM.
I have a couple cool things planned in the next few days for our tab.
Cheers.
Moved to General because this isnt development... not yet anyway.
Also, check around, there are a lot of good threads/posts here to help start you off... a lot of them were started and created by Gary.

Hey guys,
I saw interloper posted his CM10, so I figured I should get in on the fun and post my CM9 work.
Now this is ALPHA so there are a lot of things broken. I haven't really had time to test all the things broken, but here's the short list:
Radios (all - cell, wifi, bt)
Cam
Probably accelerometer
So obviously this is NOT going to be your daily driver. This is just a preview of what is to come!
Also, if anyone has any ideas on how I can improve, please let me know! A lot of people have helped get this booting - Shabbypenguin started the ball rolling, interloper has helped with tips, and a slew of others that don't even have a Photon Q have helped me understand how to get this up and running. Of course Cyanogen for the awesome community, and Google for being the grandfather of this madness.
So it boots, but very little will work. Touch works, and any apps that don't use the above hardware should work as well. Without wifi or cell radios, the build is kinda useless - I realize this. But, I'm hoping maybe it'll attract some more developer attention - thanks!!!

I could *try* and help, but my knowledge is pretty limited. I did some work on the Droid 3 from roughly a year ago up until this past March/April, so I'm not completely hopeless. But I'll try and help any way I can.

Hmmm well i had the electrify/photon before this one. The big developers that were working on it were cybik,th3bill and jokersax. Have you tried asking them for advice. Th3bill seems quite friendly. Jokersax i think is still out with rl issues atm... not sure though.

I'm sorry we don't have 15 4.2.2 ROM's which are all the same but have different launchers.
Someone else can do those "ROMs". I don't really feel like making a 7zip ROM, I prefer to build from source.

Truth. This is not a job, all of the devs spend their free time working on this. If it's not moving fast enough for your liking, feel free to contribute. Otherwise, please keep the non-constructive comments to yourself.
I've long since been of the concluded opinion that some people are basically the ROM-flashing equivalent of drug junkies with this stuff. It doesn't matter if what's out there works, or even works for the most part, they suffer withdrawals if they don't have something 'new' to flash and will never be content to finally stick with anything no matter how many different 'flavors' there are to sample from.
OP, instead of saying Thank You to the Development, you ask "What Happened", sounds like you should take up ROM cooking/making and provide to the Community...or just say "Thanks". Either way enjoy your new device...Thread Closed.
