the rom has been available for a while but i dont know if anyone has been able to extract it. it was some weird file system or someting.
If anyone picks it up, itll probably be for the i9000 at first, so here's to hopes of a reoriented rom
One can dream.......would be sweet!
i dont think we'll see a ported rom but maybe some ported apk's and it should be gingerbread so maybe ported on the galaxy s 2.3.2 leak if any of the devs over in that forum get around to it.
though a port to cm7 for a weird hybrid would be cool also.

Well yes it is possible - but I highly doubt anyone would do that as such a big framework port would be a hell of work.
Just use a TouchWiz launcher - either a launcher theme (search Google Play Store) or for example this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Thanx bro I'm on dj room so having touch wiz I mean using Samsung dialer activity and mms apk the customization of 15 toggle by lildroid such stuff we won't get only by launcher ...so I wanted if any one can port the ROM complete like people pets galaxy s ROM to Samsung wave and even people powered HTC ROM on galaxy ace device can we do something like this on 2x...??
Why nobody wants to complete the ICS port from SGS II to SGS? There are themes that imitate well stock ROMs, but the biggest drawback is that you can not use sliding left right to call or send messages. There Ex dialer but does not compare to feeling of Samsung dialler. Escuse my bad English!
I totally agree with you.
I tried some ICS roms and finally I came back to stock rom just for the feeling and the easy of use it provides.
Every new rom of ICS or JB for the SGS comes from Nexus S or other phones and it doesn't have the appearance or the functionality of stock GB roms.
Apart from that, every custom ICS or JB rom is worth and the developers deserve every credit and thank you in the world but I also wonder...
Is it so difficult to take the original SGS II rom for ICS and adjust it for our beloved SGS???
I'd like to have Samsung experience with an ICS or JB ROM.
Ifind Touchwiz very user friendly and efficient for all the basic tasts, and I don't find something equivalent in ICS "nude" ROMS.
It exists some ICS ROM with some parts of Touchwiz, but you don't have the full integration you can find in stock ROMS.
I think it's impossible to directly port SGS2 or SGS3 tou our old SGS.
Source code is not available for stock ROMS, so it's very difficult to modify it to adapt it to another device.
The only way is to mix binairies and edit some config files.

I can't understand why is it so easy to make a Nexus ICS rom work quite good on a SGS and is not the same for the SGS II rom.
Maybe a developer of ICS can provide more information.

Because Nexus S has the same hardware as Galaxy S and it's very easy to take a binary or a driver from one to install it on the other one.
Android source code is available, but not Touchwiz and Samsung add ons code. You can't modify or recompile Samsung stuff, so it's harder to port.
Hello ,
few days ago i updated my gf's s2 to new JB that was leaked offical samsung but from odin, then i got an idea, cuz i have Captivate Armani I9010 and i was using Remics JB as last rom, cuz it was look rly nice likly s3 rom, but i didn't like aops dialer layout and some more staff and i got idea of porting S2 or even S3 rom to captivate, and i was playing with some tutorials and android kitchen but without lucky, as I have rly bad knowledge of programing thinks , but I'm trying and want to learn more, my point was that maybe its posible to use some custom aops rom as base(ofc if developer agree) and port s2 rom over, i know that to port stock apk's form s2 that i like i need to port aslo framework, but what else?
Is someone with knowledge are up to help me or take this project if it interesting?
Or if this is totally wrong , what is real way to go of port s2 rom to captivate? I'm sure that its posible i saw some video of s2 rom on i9000 with is pritty much same as capativate. (it was GB i think because video is old) but if it able to port one rom there is no difference but what is good way to start.
I am really sorry about my English , its not my main language, and I am interesting in learning as much as i can about android dev.
Ps. OR mabye it would be easy to just port some of apk instead of porting whole rom. (secphone seclaucher secmms seccontacts systemui etc etc)
Greetings.

The best way to go about porting a ROM would be to ask one of your fav dev and read one hell of a lot!
Theming is fairly easy, you open the app with something like apktool and work your way through (or can use kitchen). As far as porting apps, it would mainly be the framework but you gotta keep in mind functionality that the Cappy doesn't have.
Reading and guides are really your best friends here. It can all be self learnt but it requires a lot of patience, gotta expect some good old headbanging lol
Here's a thread that could help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814
Thanks,
I will probably start with port some apks but, as its not that hard job, but should like to learn how to port rom really i was reading some guides with was like its ok for any phone from same generation cpu like armv7 ported and base rom need to be same version, used same manifecture of device . and what i did used deo-dexed s2 rom JB 4.1.1 official one (aslo found one slimed s2 rom 4.1.1 aslo) and tryed few different as base CM10 for cappy was one of them its 4.1.2 but i think there is no big difference i tryed some 4.1.1 roms as base with was work on phone ok but when i made rom trought those guides its stack on bootanimation and logcat just spam that like every apk die
That was one of guides where it's says that it will work for all stock/cm/aokp roms ICS and JB updated.
There are few really easy steps and what i expected is that phone will boot and will be buggy as **** till a lot of tweaks but it didnt even boot ((
PS. I was looking around and i found that there are some custom rom (this was for s2 ) that are based on samsung base not aokp or cm. And they have all features of custom rom with all stock samsung look witch i like and stock phone/dialer/contact/tw/systemui/ etc etc/
My questions is there mabye that kind of rom for captivate or at least i9000 since i think its easier job to port from i9000 then from s2. And what would be base because last fw for cappy or galaxy s is GB, is there any posiblilty to get ISC or JB samsung based rom on this device?

They can all be ported, it's mostly framework. Although, I never ported a ROM so I'm not the best one to guide you through this. If I'm not mistaken, there are guides in XDA-U. Also, there are quite a few nice Devs around here that could help you through it.
Thanks, I saw some of those guides some are generic some are on example but i for porting samsung (s2) based rom i need to use some jb base for captivate cm or aokp but there some difference when porting roms even if both base and port are same version JB . Cuz they are not on same base. And i hope it is not difficult to make. If it's not hard I would please ask some od dev to give me some guide. On what i have to take care . What to do and i will gief all effort and time to make it working.
I wanted to play around with my captivate armani version, and since I like features of custom roms and dont like camera driver phone , audience etc... and i don't like that my froyo is rly slow rly for some reason idk why, i did restore to stock fresh install with wipe everytihng still slow since android market went google play froyo laging as hell.
So as I'm enthusiast I wanna try to copile my own froyo from soruce ( http://opensource.samsung.com/ and i typed i search i9010) I got soruce, atm i don't even learn how to compile from source installing ubuntu on other machine atm, but I take a look insade files and It's look like this is just AOSP soruce code not samsung soruce code for i9010... sound rly strange to me.
So my questing basically is this samsung soruce for i9010 or aosp from google?
File is only 170mb so if some of dev have a time to download it and take a look i will be really grateful...
If' it's not samsung source i don't have with what to start
Pls any advice will be helpful...

I can't check the file right now but you're in the wrong section. This is for the I897 and I896.

Wow didn't pay enough attention, my bad. Seems like you're right, most of it is the same.
I did find this though which might help you on your quest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876094
Yep i9010 is i897 for eu with armani sign and better plastic, and as far as i found only different is that armani have "better gps module" idk if it true but they are 99% same.
But if anyone have idea about this source i will be really happy to start working
Basiclly is this source useful and complete, i mean if i compile this i will get samsung touchwiz froyo or aosp foryo?
I will go trougth guides I already studied and i think i will be able to compile but only question is this samsung source.

My guess, Samsung. best way to know is to look for TW in it, it's the launcher after all
Yep that`s what was strange to me i think that source not comleate at all. Maybe im wrong but i downloaded i897 and few more source from samsung base and all are same they dont have any launcher in or im looking wrong. Only in anounsment file on site there is list of copyrights licence and i found on list launcher2.apk but it just in txt file list. As i know tw is seclauncer or tw03launcher something like that.

I do think it's great you're trying to compile your on ROM but if you don't mind me asking, why Froyo? We're up to JB 4.2.1 now :silly:
Last stock for i9010 is froyo, and im begginer,
So i wanted to do next:
1st compile Froyo for i9010 to test if it work ( it would be as same as stock) to see if i can and have knowledge to do it and if its usable. Its easiest to test since its orginal one so without modding it should boot and work.
2nd compile GB for i897 with small modification to work on i9010 if any is even required ( to use component from i9010 code if needed)
3d step is to try port from some similar hardware device witch have stock JB to I9010.
I like stock look even stock froyo vs custom jb. I know there is TW custom rom but only think is ported laucher quality of calls and camera are bad, i know there was some guys that ported from samsung source GB i897 with some mods and custom kernel but system was full stock unforcunalty links are death so i didn't test it.
and as i read somewhere there is not all opensource i will prolly need to get drivers TW and some other things. idk why but i read that they are closedcode in most case.
I really like and support your idea to start developing for i9010. I have an i9010 and I must say before you start, I have successfully flashed and used various custom ROMs for captivate (i897/i896), mostly ICS and JB ROMs. The first time I was sweating bullets, but it works and in my experience have never had issues using captivate ROM's on the Galaxy Armani.

I know i tried almost all custom roms. But i don.t like look of dialer phone. Qualty of camera and voice. So i would like to have something like samsung jb or ics on captivate/armani. I was think about 2 option port s2 rom or compile something from source but i didnt have time to check anything cuz of duties on university. So as soon as i get time i will study source.

Hello can you please help me to get on a stock ROM for Giorgio Armani?
I flashed I897 GB 2.3.5 but my phone doesnt't work.
I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 11 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus, and I want the full Samsung experience, like on the stock Gingerbread ROM.
I've looked everywhere for one, but there doesn't seem to be any such ROM that meets my requirements.
Ideally, I would like a ROM to have the stock Samsung features (TouchWiz, etc), but be on Android 4.0 or later (for the latest apps to work).
Have I missed such a ROM, or am I stuck with applying customisation packs that mostly don't work?

This'll work for the S Plus also?
They're pretty similar in hardware, so I see why not, unless something is CPU-specific there.
