Database Develop

Porting from NEXUS S to Galaxy S already started?

Sorry for this thread, but here is all so quiet and in our final user's mind there is an only one question: porting from stock nexus s to Galaxy s is already started?
And if the answer is yes, is something possible or not?
Thanks and sorry for this thread in development section, but we all depend on you BIG MEN xD

Yeah, that's a good question. Some guy in twitter has already made it booting on HD2 (not to the gui thought), and all we have here is silence. I hope that devs are just too busy working on sgs port to made a topic on xda)

I think it doesn't make sense without sourcecode. It's a waste of time.
But we've started using code from nexus s kernel @ galaxy s on CM6.1.
Has someone tried flashing Bootloader from NS on SGS? xD

I think noone is working on the port yet.
Atleast curio is not (yet?). Didnt hear anything about other kernel maker.

Somebody will end up with an expensive brick trying it
In my opinion it makes sense to start the work now, we got the full dump, the kernel sources and the initramfs sources.
Since Nexus S and SGS are really similar I'm quite sure we have everything to have a bootable system. Promise I'll give it a try on weekend if nobody does it before. My plan is modify init.rc to boot system from our current /data partition mainly /data/system/ where should be the dump.
Since NS kernel cannot see our internal OneNand partitions for the moment, I guess the only solution for now is everything on Movinand, which may be slow but...

Oh i am so friggin waiting for a port to happen!
for the last week i am checking in evrey 10 minutes to hear whats knew about the portation.
but till this point nothing has happened yet :/
hope there will be soon a kernel-hero which will pick up this good piece of work.
bye

Do the SGS and NS have the same memory distribution? I know that one uses iNand and the other MoviNand for Data but is the configuration itself the same? Do they have the same amount of OneNand for instance, same amount of memory, etc?

I already tried a port.
It's booting but chashes after pin code enter.
and whitout sim it crashes at homescreen.
will give info if i got it working.

From what I've been reading both SGS and NS have 512mb OneNand and then 8/16 gb of MoviNand/iNand. I guess this should make conversion quite easy as long as drivers for the different components get adjusted to compensate small internals differences. If I'm not mistaken, drivers for the different components are included in the kernel and we already have source for the kernel. I guess it's just a matter of time but I'm hoping there are no showstoppers here.
I wish I could help out but I'm not even in the IT business... Best of luck and patience to the Devs!

It's with the drivers but it is not funcioning correctly right now.
beceause there is not a really useble dump it's really hard to port it.
but i got it booting right now and home screen works.
but if you choose a app it crashes. will upload vid in a few minutes

Beceause the theme of the nexus S is really ugly and to much rounded.. i used the gingerbread theme for froyo and ported that in aswell. btw i will post more videos later

Nice Gingerbread theme!

Nice! But can't help noticing that it is slow. It's still early days though, hopefully all will be good in days coming. Looking forward to this.

I don't know, that vid is not really convincing...and why remove the Stock theme and replace it right away...doesn't that increase the risk of something going wrong?
No offence, but I'm putting this in my "fake" folder for now...

Yup. This was ported from the One. So expected to not work. But shouldn't be difficult to fix that.

Thanks a lot for what all of you did to getting MIUI on the Xperia Z !
I will be following this thread to give you feedback.
On the other thread, i mentioned my data network didn't work, forget that. I check my access point and it work perfectly now.
But i was really surprised when i wanted to go to my clockworkmod and i saw a "Teamwin mod"-thing... It's not very kind to do some thing we didn't want...
Somebody have a *.zip to get back my old clockworkmod ? Thanks
The MIUI V5 Rom work very well. Unfortunately, there is the SD Card problem who cause a lot of ForceClose. But i'm sure you will get it work.
Keep the good work guys !
PS: Sorry for my bad english speaking, i'm french.

The recovery is built into the kernel. If you want me to post CWM, I shall post another boot.img. However, I do suggest you to try TWRP. It's much faster and easier.

Sorry @alnikki25k for a bit of a thread steal (its OK we're a team). You know this means. Sense 5.0 from the One is possible. Forget our Droid DNA port cause that ruined my phone (Sony are replacing it). I'll talk later on Hangouts in more depth cause I had a Sense 5.0 ROM that booted (stuck on the boot screen just like the original versions of yours and my MIUI builds, However Android being Android, ADB won't work...)

The storage maybe the services.jar problem.
In services.jar.out\smali\com\android\server the all filename start with MountService

Being a 4.2 rom, is there any downgrading required? Bootloader, radio, etc? I imagine the directions would be in the OP if so, just have to be that guy .
Thanks for the port, either way. Have been eyeing the find7 for a while now.
Also, thank you for the brief OP; I accidentally quoted it like a dummy.

[q] otg support for canvas a1

As we all know that our device doesn't support otg devices though there is another device of Micromax itself i.e. Micromax Unite 2. Both the device have same specifications and same hardware, since it supports OTG devices.
.
So i have a question that, is it possible to get OTG SUPPORT on our device by just modifying Kernel using Unite 2 sources?
.
As few of the people knows that Ziddey (dev) of Nexus devices.. he made that possible. He gave a custom kernel to Nexus 4 devices for OTG SUPPORT.
Since, before that the Nexus 4 doesn't Support OTG devices out of the box!
.
If its possible to by just modifying the kernel and get rid out of it, then it will be a great contribution to our devices! Thats all we want from our developers!.
would like to know ur opinions... thank u!

Simply speaking ,it is a bootloader replacement(or a modified bootloader) by which u can install multiple ROMs and recoveries at same time.U can run a miui ROM,aosp rom,Ubuntu Linux and u don't need any patched kernel or a multirom recovery or multirom supported rom .And no need of confirmation if a ROM can be booted as secondary or primary ROM as there is no terms like that.

@deeps7515 @preetnoobie
Bootloader is the first thing that get loaded in the memory after the device starts. Once the bootloader gets loaded in the memory, it handles OS initialization, and the OS initiates only after that point.
The goal of this project is to generify the process of bootloading, so that any ROM or any kernel can be loaded into memory without any kind of modification at all, through some universal architechture. The technical details are vast enough and quite frankly, even I don't understand many of that.
TL;DR
It will make multibooting buttery smooth in our devices.

if i am not wrong .. now we can also install complete armhf based linux distros??

Well sadly, sailfish still requires some work to be done because of the hardcoded system.mount, and I directly jump into it after I publish the first beta. Right now, I'm experiencing some weird bug that apparantly noone has faced before, and that's why the build is taking longer than expected.
Stay tuned.

Excited.. :laugh:
