Galaxy Nexus ICS Compile/Build/Port Rom?

Recently, I have been doing some research on android os development trying to figure out a way to get android 4.0(ICS) successfully running on LG Thrill. I see that it's possible from this YouTube video http://youtu.be/YjEDY5yh90M BUT I have a few questions regarding some info found during my research. The Galaxy Nexus is equipped with a TI OMAP 4460/Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU and the Thrill is equipped with a TI OMAP 4430/Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU. The difference between the two are explained in detail here http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-texas-instruments-omap-4430-and-vs-4460/ Other differences between these two devices are display, bluetooth hardware, wlan hardware, camera. Can an experienced Dev give me some input on whether I'm in over my head or on to something?

I have an sgs2 and would be interested in helping port ROMS over to the thrill but don't know enough to really get started...

I have been trying to get ICS on the thrill using this guide bit.ly/NCledu and ended up with this bit.ly/NrZ3YY It won't boot, but I was hoping an experienced developer could work with what I have.

Does anyone know how to get into fastboot on the thrill? I tried using
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
but it just restarts the phone and doesn't put it into fastboot mode, which I need to flash my compiled ICS.

I'm trying to get into the fastboot boot loader to see if my compiled ics will work on the thrill. I'm following the steps on the android source website which says
To flash a device, you will need to use fastboot, which should be included in your path after a successful build. Place the device in fastboot mode either manually by holding the appropriate key combination at boot, or from the shell with
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, run
Code:
$ fastboot flashall -w
The -w option wipes the /data partition on the device; this is useful for your first time flashing a particular device, but is otherwise unnecessary.
I need to get into fastboot to flash it. I have CWM installed also.

i think you can just use CWM recovery

So far no luck because I barely have any clue as to what I'm doing, but I found something very interesting. If you search on google "cm-kang appspot" open the first link click lge on top and then p925 Thrill 4g, it shows a changelog for what looks to be cm9. I don't know if, where, or when you can get cm9 for the thrill, but it's interesting that it shows ics.

Nahh. No nightly has ever been compiled for P925. None will be expected until official ICS drops.
As for compiling, if you have an img to flash using fastboot, you're out of luck since fastboot does not work on the O3D/Thrill. What you can do is loop mount the img in Linux, extract the files and put them in a zip file, set up the necessary updater-script and flash it using CWM. It should do the same as doing fastboot.

Thanks for the info, but I figured out I was doing it wrong and I don't have the right drivers or something for the wifi.

Bad flash... need advice

Hey guys... first rom flash I did after rooting went bad. I got a failed message during the flash and now I'm stuck on the HTC boot screen. I'm wondering if the zip is bad, but my problem is how to get another rom into my internal storage since I can't boot up the device.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
*edit* Sideload mode in TWRP is not working. I can start it on the phone, but the adb commands never work.

Boot to bootloader and flash CWM then use ADB Sideload cmd. You didn't back up your ROM before flashing?

ADB sideload in TWRP is not working. Will it have a better chance of working in CWM?
*edit* loaded CWM as suggested, but sideloading is still not working. It's saying failed to open driver control, although I have installed the drivers and was using adb previously. Reinstalled drivers, but no good.

I'm also noticing that if I reboot from TWRP it is telling me my system does not appear to be rooted, although I previously checked the root in Titanium Backup. Maybe my root is not set up properly? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Try ADB Push cmd to your Ones storage.

what rom did you flash to cause all this, first of all.

Even though I have installed custom recoveries and installed SU before the bad flash, it seems like there is something wrong with the root, and now I am not sure how to get it fixed.

when you plug your phone into your computer, look under my computer, is htc one there, if not, i don't know buddy.
another thing that might be messing you up is if you use a 3.0 usb port.

It's not there... that's why I was trying to sideload, but it won't work in either custom recovery.
When I reboot from TWRP it says I am not rooted and swipe to have root installed. Even though I have done this a few times it keeps telling me that I'm not rooted.

CWM recovery?

OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?

They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?

Help!! can't boot phone

Hello,
I just got my One today, and I've been trying to root it and stuff. I unlocked the bootloader successfully, then tried flashing the custom recoveries. For some reason only cwm (regular) worked; the other ones (cwm touch and TWRP) flashed successfully, but when I tried going into recovery, the phone would be on the "booting into recovery screen", then just turn off.
Anyways, I just continued with cwm regular, but it kept saying "can't mount /cache/recovery/command, log, last_log,..." basically lots of that stuff on the bottom. I ignored that. Then, I put superuser.zip into the SD card, but clockworkmod could not find the sd card stuff.
Finally, in CWM, I formattted /system, /sdcard, /external_sd, /data and /data/media. Then the phone would ONLY boot straight into the bootloader (even if I did NOT hold down), could not even open recovery. So I flashed the same cwm recovery again.
Now I can only go into bootloader and recovery. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help in advance.

I'm just guessing but I think it's because you formatted everything and never flashed a rom. So there's just nothing on your phone, it can only boot into the bootloader because everything else was formatted.

Relock your bootloader then use an RUU. Then unlock and try again.

The thread will eventually drift away. Next time, post in the Q&A forum. More importantly, don't rely on a toolkit to save you. Sometimes, they don't work. The actual fix to this problem is fairly trivial (and to poster above, doesn't necessarily involve ADB either). If were trying to simply push stock software back on, it's three (well, in your case two) fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot <path-to-boot.img>
flash system <path-to-system.img>
After unzipping a factory .tar. It's worth learning how to do in case this happens again.

[Q] Big problem with cm 10.2

Hello, I installed cm nightly 10.2 (spr version) , but when it boots gives a "fatal" error: the process com.android.phone has stopped.
(to solve the problem I have tried to re-flash the boot.img from fastboot as suggested somewhere)
but it got worst... no access to the device to flash back the old rom, a recover from twrp 2.6... nothing ....
unfortunately now I am "completely paralized..."
I have lost adb (phone not recognized...) and usb-otg is not mounting my external emergency USB (with my recoveries on it...)
I think I need to either get usb-otg to work or adb to recognize my phone...
is a matter of ADB new driver? where I can find the latest??
or a way to make the 10.2 working....
some suggestion??
THANKS in advance !!!

the latest adb can be found in the android SDK. if you dont want to do that theres a fairly recent adb.exe in this package, i believe drivers are there also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814
