[Q] Why not Port Roms? - Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development

Hi guys! Im curious why our monster device dont have too much ported roms though it is possible? is it because there is only few users? I want to learn how to port roms for our device. Im reading a tutorial here in XDA and have a porter friend from my past device. I asked him to port roms for our device like slimbean, carbonrom, Pac etc. Hope this device gets more attention from the rom makers

I will help you as much as i can...will share links which i have read to port MIUI V5 for our device...
And the reason that our device does not has many roms is that it was not released globally like the S3 or S4...
It is actually local only to Korea...and still many have managed to get it...
And its good if we all work together as a team ... we sure will have many roms for our device too....:good:

That's good news! I will talk to my friend who ports rom to my ex-device. and also let's ask for other members to participate.

This is the link that im reviewing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008
We need Base CM10 or CM10.1 depending on what we will port. Do we have "Clean" CM10 or CM10.1 as base?

Yup, even i am referring to the same guide...
Now as far as i know we do have a clean CM10 as base for SHV-E120L & SHV-E120S both...but we dont have a pure clean CM10.1 for either of the devices...
But we do have Mokee OS 4.2.2 for both of the above mentioned devices...and i even tried to take CM10.1 from Cyanogen mods website and take Mokee OS as base to port the latest to CM10.1 and have a running CM10.1 but i never succedded...
And i was also wondering if you know what is the difference between these 2 devices...
Thanks

Thats what i dont know. Im just a new user of this device. If we have clean CM10 then we can port 4.1.2 roms. but not 4.2.2. It's OK there are lot of nice 4.1.2 roms out there Can u give me the link of the clean CM10 for SHV e120L?

Yeas there is Mokee 4.2.2 and ive tried it. Its base on CM10.1. We must first know what did the porter used as a base to port Mokee 4.2.2.

OK, check these links
This link contains pure CM10 compiled by Socim:
http://d-h.st/users/Space/?fld_id=0#files
And this link contains a spread sheet which mentions most of the roms that exist for our devices...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AosAjYg4w51XdHkxNlRzWFk4UllTTHFNd1JpLW9TWHc&pli=1#gid=19
Hope this helps...:good:

Ok i will try using Socim's CM10 as base.

Will our Galaxy Mini's/Pop's get Jelly Bean?

Hello everybody. I want to ask our developers, will we get Android 4.1? If not - why, if yes - when? Thanks for answers .
I m not a developer but i can say we can only get jb frm cm sources
Otherwise it is difficult to port aosp build
If sir maclaw and team successfully make working aosp ics for armv6 we can probabily get jb too

It is hard to get a stable ics as of now it is goin to take minimum 6 to 7 seven months before a bugfree ics and then only we can look forward to jb we muat have patience.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
Well, when the sources are out, we'll see about that
Patience is a virtue moreover there isn't much difference in user looks
Just a few add ons here and there moreover I doubt about how will this device go on with jb.But anyways well see that expect stable jb for our device by early 2013.Many experimental build will start popping out soon

there won't be fully working ics/jb because no one willing to re-write damn codecs... y'all have fully working cm7, be happy with that, or buy yourself nexus s or one x, which have ics from the start. Peoples! Stop dreaming and expecting wonders from heavily outdated phone!
Maybe the devs will do something, if the rest of the people is willing to wait!
AOKP build with modified libstagefrighthw.so can play 720p @ ~10 (maybe more) fps, HQ youtube works ( as testers reported ). If AntiBillOS will give permissions camera will be working with 3rd party apps too. So... it's not so impossible after all.
Ok, so camera will work, but only ON HACKS. That's great, really. How about stability of os? :>

yup, i agree with u. The only issue with cm9 (for me at least) is the lack of RAM, i dont care abt the "crappy camera" or "useless" FM.
all devices haing cm9 or aosp ics can run jellybean

ok, but the question is not if they can, because it's obvious that galaxy mini is able to run ics/jb, the question is: can it be runned smoothly on low end phone? and i'm only guessing that the answer is no, because of extremely low specs (compared to other phones nowaday) of galaxy mini

[ Guide / Script ] Auto-Porter

WINDOWS
Note: Tested on Windows 8
1) 7-Zip
2) Winmerge
3) Notepad++
4) Java SE Development Kit
5) Place on your Desktop in a folder.
This script comes with instructions for each step, It is the MIUI auto-porter modified for general use with CM10 based roms.
It will say a bunch of stuff about MIUI on the splash-screen at the start, Ignore it.
Any Rom that uses CM10 as a base can be ported to this device using this script.
Download: Auto-porter
I know It's not a new rom update but I figured you folks would like it better, to test it out go to AvatarRoms site or some other CM10 based rom and try your hand at porting!
Some roms will have TW framework or other things like this and that must be taken care of manually, so for more complex ports you will need a good understanding of how to port and diff and xml editing and so on; but for very basic things or to create a quick port to assess what kind of potential work would need to be done, how compatible your device is with a base; this is a good place to start.
Hello
We can port any rom based on CM10 with this ? Like Paranoid Rom ??

Try to and it wll prob work
I have already tried this with CM10 epinter for base and Paranoid for AT&T One X because they are the same architecture and screen size ( 1280*720 )
But they don't start, i see the log but i don't understand anything ^^'
I retry and i give you feedback
Thanks for your work
im trying that right now the cm10 and pana will tell you if it works its 2.70 so dont think it has pie but hey whatever

Sometimes the foreign rom is just not compatible as a base, you will see results as you experiment and find which phones are most 'similar' to yours
If anyone has successfully ported a rom with auto-porter that boots and is somewhat functional or functional, then please post and share the details here. I personally do not know how to port a rom, or make a rom etc., But I am willing to learn how to use the auto-porter in this thread if someone is willing to point me in the right direction. Like which base to use, and what modifications need to be done and so on...
the tmobile s3 is based from the same chipset, should try there to see

May I ask why CM9? CM7 is much more stable on these phones.

What about jellaxy?

Good Evening to everybody.
I was reading about the Jellaxy Project has been discontinued and i thinked "oh damn... they say there are far better 4.2. roms but I don't like 4.2... i just want the good old Jellaxy's 4.1.2". I think our screen is too little for a lockscreen like that (it is difficult to insert the code), it is more unstable et cetera et cetera...
So... why not? Somebody could continue that project if there are a few people who want they to do it. Nobody else agrees with me?
I apologise because of my very bad english (I'm Italian). I hope you'll understand if I don't know what you mean
P.S. i don't know if this thread is a question so I don't know what to do with that checkbox down there

yeap, i guess there will be no more project for 4.1.2 rom in the meantime, until there are devs who want to develop it again..
But maybe its hardly for that to happen (maybe) because devs (like erikcas, bieltv.3 or Old Droid) will focus only on the latest JB rom, that is 4.2.2 rom.
Why dont you give a try the 4.2.2 JB rom on ur ace? Install it, n try it for a while (adaption to a new rom will takes time), you will like it
There is alot of choices, like:
AOKP jb-mr1 by erikcas
Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 androidarmv6 by Bieltv.3 (Official maintainer after Wayland_Ace work, and Erikcas)
or CM10.1, PAC-rom 22.0.0, PARANOIDANDROID by OldDroid
The 4.2.2 Rom will become the best rom for our ace s5830, have faith to our ace devs.. they will bring us the best JB rom, its just matter of time from them to give us an amazing JB rom :highfive: :victory:

First, I tried so many roms, but I just like CM... Second, I tried OldDroid's CM10.1 and I hated it; Third, I love the work of these developers, but I think they should focuse on bettere projects like KERNEL 3.0... I just noticed that Samsung Corby has this kernel and we don't... a port would be a very good thing.

Probably not yet. This is not flagship, not best 2013 device, young device. Maybe CM10.1 will be availible when FXP buy XSP. Or when developer show himself to community.
Why not?
It's a best possible device of the year so far. Fits the fastest processor, good amount of ram and everything else. Somebody should start working on custom ROM for this device.

Sorry to ask for this, I know I should install and test for myself the rom,
But I just would like to know how is the battery life on this rom?
What about the power button? Does it work properly? Because I had this issue on android 4.3 based rom's.
And the camera? Clear images and sharper?
Thanks in advance!

By the way, in my opinion android 4.2.2 is the most stable atm

Build that we currently have ported by Demetris is 4.2.2 and for me it is the best custom rom out there.Camera and battery are great even with stock app and stock kernel.Alwayse switching between MIUI and LiquidSmooth.Flash it and test is for couple of days yourself and see if you are satisfied.

It's even easier for YOU to test it yourself. Backup your current setup and flash it. Most of the mentioned bugs aren't even for everybody and it is actually quite hard for the devs to make a full list of bugs which occur for every single user.
If you don't agree with that it's your fault. The devs are doing an awesome job here and they do it because they want to.

In my honest opinion, bugs should be on the OP if they are known bugs. It's a matter of structure and information. But that's just me
From what I understood, carbon is a "fork" from Liquid and I think it's a compilation from source and not a port, right? If so, is it possible to compile Liquid from source as well ?
This question is for someone who knows or a developer

They stated that Carbon rom doesnt have anything to do with liquid team.Also if you look at title on older liquid builds by demetris you will see it says "Official" so i think it is possible to compile from source.Asked demetris long time ago about liquid future for our phone but still no answer.

No, they stated the following:
CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. The team is composed of former members of Team Liquid who have forked the code in an attempt to bring greater speed, better coding, and full authorship to code. We are in no way affiliated with Liquid0624. The rom was forked at Liquid beta 3.2.1 and has since undergone major code changes and modifications.

They "forked" the code, although it was changed a LOT, a fork is a fork
Anyway, I'm gonna have a look later on see if Liquid can be compiled for our p880.

No,THANK you man Someone sayed that all 4.2 builds are much better then 4.3 roms builds and i agree on that.
Far as I understood the source is published.
Will see what I can do during the weekend
https://github.com/LiquidSmooth/android
And yeah, I agree, I'm pretty happy with CM10. 1.3. Although I do miss the privacy features from 4.3.
Mods can lock and delete this since demerits answered our prayers and ported new version.
