Ok lets make this happen we have ROOT, MODS, And a FEW, custom ROMS but everything we have is badly outdated.
I would like to get a JB rom created by January 1st, unfotunently i cant do any source development only custom stock based ROMS but you guys can work with source.
I would like this to get done as fast as possible.
Now the ROM doesnt need to be completely functional, it only needs to be a base for development, this wouldnt be a problem if some people here kew how to keep their links workin.
SO heres the total bounty amount: $0
I cant contribute myself sorry.
Anyone?
I thought you would be all over JB, the g2x has 512mb ram, and it has a JB ROM.
The G1 only has 192mb RAM, but it has JB(slow and buggy but its there).

Hey guys, been out of the loop for a while as I've been settled on JPY for a few weeks now. However, I saw a friend flash his Desire today with Oxygen, a gingerbread-based AOSP ROM. All the SGS ROMs I can find so far are based on the stock Samsung firmware - is there any work being done on a full AOSP ROM like Oxygen or Cyanogen? I can't find any details about this anywhere.
I am very curious about this question. Because if answer is simply no, it's time to sell Galaxy S. Gingerbread will be the last update from Samsung and AOSP could be the future of this phone then CM7 for SGS seems to have big problems and it's the only AOSP ROM for SGS which I'm aware of...
What big problems?
I'm using CM7 for a month right now and it's pretty stable if i can say. Yes, it lacks some features and some bugs are not fixed yet (theres a workaround tho), but if you follow it's thread the progress they make are great. They're already into mainline, so probably it will reach RC status in a month/maybe less, who knows.
After the devs are done, i think there will be a custom ROM based on CM7/AOSP.

CM7 is getting there. And with Gingerbread coming out, that should make things easier for the dev.
Yes, but with no source then there is nothing big. GB leak, only helped them with "less" important stuff (FM radio, etc.)
~drz
Is there any chance that cyanogenmod of coming for the SXL? I recently upgraded my device from my old Nexus s and am missing the features of CM7
You would be better sending a PM to Cyanogen and see if he has any plans for it, other then that its waiting on someone elses good grace to Port it but it might not quite be the same as it was (less Cyanogen releases it then itll be grand!)
Having spoke to Capychimp he says that a port of CM7, MIUI or even ICS will need a custom kernel. So until we can get someone working on that its not going to happen
isnt there some custom kernals from core droid and such?

Yeah there is a custom kernel for BinDroid, but that is like a heavily tweaked version of stock whereas CM7 is AOSP and therefore would need a completely different kernel, as I understand it... correct me if I'm wrong
ahhhh thanks for that
Do you have any idea on how long it would take for someone to make a new kernal?
For someone who knew what they were doing it probably wouldn't take that long, but most developers on here are supporting multiple devices and probably don't have the time to try it at the minute...
Hey Everyone, I have been pushing the ICS update away, kind of scared of all the bugs. But I'm wondering if theirs any decent Jelly Bean ROMS? With working Data (4G?) and Camera / Video?
I'm not expecting anything perfect, darn bootloader..
I don't think the bootloader is a concern at this point. A bunch of smart and dedicated developers have managed to get past that on the D3/D4/Bionic/RAZR. Now the difficulty is getting a kernel that works well. Anyway, to answer your question, no. It is a WIP ATM.
Yeah I don't really blame the bootloder, making a joke.
How can I download, learn more, keep track of the w.i.p.s? I know hashcode says stuff over twitter, which is probably keeping track of part. Though I don't understand twitter tweets replys.
And do I need to be on the new ICS update to flash them (with Safestrap 2?)
And whats a kexic build over a rom, or are they the same? differences? I know the kexic stuff is going pretty well.

Hashcode's twitter feed is probably the best/only way to keep tabs on kexec right now.
You do need to be on stock ICS in order to use safestrap 2.11 which is needed to flash the newer ICS builds as well as the kexec builds.
Kexec refers to the kernel as opposed to the ROM. So you have ROMs right now that run off the stock phone kernel and you have kexec ROMs which run off the custom kexec kernel.

Hey guys,
I was just wondring..
Kitkat and JB were not intended to be for the SGS.. But how do they "cope" with it?
Do KK and JB just provide the fun of the latest Android versions while decreasing performance? Or are all Android versions pretty much the same as they are moded to fit SGS?
In very simple words: Are lower Android versions (As back as the official 2.3.6 if I am correct) better for SGS?
Thank you.
more or less the same performance.
it's not that the phone is slow - just those apps and games are getting heavier

Are you sure? Because there is that partitioning thing that is different from version to version.. I dont know if there are any more major differences but I guess that the partitioning is one of them.
How do they even make versions like KK for SGS? I mean.. If it works on SGS, why wouldn't Samsung/Google release it for SGS?
1.Android is open source.That's how SGS got ics,jb,kk.
2.Shamesung doesn't care about happy users after their official support ends.They are pushing you to buy a new phone to enjoy latest&greatest.It's a pure business.

PC's are open source too.. Not all of them can get the latest updates and versions of Windows..
And again: "Are you sure? Because there is that partitioning thing that is different from version to version.. I dont know if there are any more major differences but I guess that the partitioning is one of them."
I dont think there is a logical reason from Samsung not to release the latest versions of Android to their "Homemade" developed devices..
It will just make their customers more trusty. That Samsung will always make updates to their devices, even the old ones. Unlike other companies.
SGS is kinda ****ty on it's own.. No Android version will transform it to SGS2 or 3 or 4 or 10...
I don't get you man.
This "partitions thing" is not a feature or so,it's simply the locations in your nand memory dedicated for certain rom parts,like /data or /system etc partitions that you have to wipe before flashing a rom for example.
As for roms it's simple - live with shamesung's outdated,althouh stable,gb or froyo or enjoy these awesome ics,jb and kk roms our great devs gave to us.
SGS can handle them all.

The partitioning thing effects the speed of the ROM/file access, atleast that's what I understood.. I dont know..
And what's so awesome about ICS,JB or KK? They seem the same.. So here and there they change the camera interface or something like that.. So? What's so special in any of these versions?

Customization,new features,frequently updated,more support from apps and games devs(android versions older than 4.0 is at the end of their lifetime) and so on...
Most of the changes in recent versions are under the hood,the only visually huge leap was from gb to ics imho.
Also,as google claims,kitkat is optimized for low memory devices,so it should fly on your sgs.

Ok, thanks.
May I ask why dont you use KK?
And I understood already that you dont like "best rom" questions.. But is there a very light, clean and stable ROM with KK?
I found this the cleanest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542131

Looks like a great rom to me.Try.
I'm using kk,but on i9001,cm11 by devcon team to be exact.
On the S2 side,I'm waiting until this "music bug" we have there in kk will be solved.Btw,I'm in love with my current setup
best rom ?
Hi,
From what I've tested:
- best GB rom is SAUROM: it looks old but it's fast and you have FM radio & great battery life!
- JB : I've tested µXylon, which was a good rom, but sadly was discontinued. Crom was really good too !
- KK : my fisrt rom on KK was CyanAOSP but it was damn laggy, I don't know why. So I switched to SlimKat (actually using stable 3.0, 4.0 coming soon :laugh and now I'm happy with it (but it's still slower than JB !)
I haven't tested any ICS rom but it seems that custom ICS roms are faster & lighter than JB and KK.
Sorry for my english :laugh:
Hi there folks!!
This phone dropped on my hands today from a friend of mine you is a excluded in this matters of customizing droid's...
So what I need to know it's the stuff that i should use to root it, like recovery and such, and the best overall rom to put in the phone. IF there is kitkat stable even better... If not Jelly Bean it is.
I'm not an expert, but i workaround pretty well, but i dropped on this forum today, and with so much stuff i don't know where need to look, and don't have the time to read it all.
So please, have some kind of goodness on me.

If none of the current data ia needed, then a nice clean full format to the New bootloader would be a good choice.
Use the AIO tool in the Developers section to format the phone to default new bootloader. you can follow the choices to install recovery, and download your choice of Rom.
The most stable and fully featured out of the newer roms are only the CM 10.1 roms. anything made later have camera and bluetooth issues.
Pengus has his own, Look ma no hands. its an excellent rom. along with his M1 kernel. its the latest you'll get to fully stable.
If you'd like more features, Tonyp made a T-build version 5 currently. use the same kernel from pengus again M1. and give that a go if you like customizing a bit more.
there are later roms. and they are all great, but they are still in development, with many bugs still to really work out.
you can also go Stock and try out the few very well made custom stock roms i believe there are 3 different dev's that have done work on ICS and did an excellent job of it.
Or you can stay on the old boot loader, and stick with GB if you really want to stretch out the battery life, and have every feature working.
the first few pages of the dev section would have everything I've just mentioned. but you could also use the Search for anything your having trouble with.
PM me also if you need more detailed assistance.

New battery can do miracles. LG stock battery is highly recommended.
