[Galaxy S II General] wali01x:
to be honest i don't think we're gonna need to port ics to our sgs2 cause ive been reading alot on the internet that since samsung nexus prime came out with ics 4.0 that we shouldn't be too far in getting ICS soon because obiviously sgs 2 is samsung's flagship and if they don't give it to sgs2 then ppl might lose alot of faith and i also read xperia line of range of 2011 devices will be upgrading to ics too but just don't when so sony is also on ballgame and also i heard acer devices and motorola devices too not all but specs with atleast 256+ ram and solid gpu should be capable. unless if we're in hurry to get ics and then have alot of bugs thats a different story. let the games begin :D are manufacture gonna win or is xda gonna be the first to port things and finish to the winning line :D haha feels like olympics.

edit: and sorry for writing all this above though it might help some .. anyways if u guys need testers id be happy to assist :) thanks
[Galaxy S II General] xillius200:
True, I fogot to consider that he will gain porting and other skills. Good luck, if you need/want any help I am willing to help out.
[Galaxy S II General] lorenzo.themax92:
People continuous to say that is impossible to port, but see the result.. nexus s and nexus one and desire ported.
[Galaxy S II General] JonesWTF:
Wow! It's just proof of concept man! I'm glad that not everyone on xda is like this, otherwise we'd have absolutely nothing if we always waited for the official releases.

No more update?? desire ported... nexus one and nexus S too..

Comon SGS2 devs get your asses up here and port it! =)
[Galaxy S II General] mista1982:
Something is going wrong with the Device..

To port Cyanogen7 to SGS2 the devs use more time like other devices.

Not all games work fine with the Mali400 GPU and the Exynos CPU.

The Problem on a SDK Dump ist there not a Framework and not a device drivers, and I think it is easyer to develop drivers for HTC Nexus One, Desire or Nexus S 4G but what is with the normal Nexus S?

What is with the Galaxy S1?

Why it is so dificult to port the SDK ROM to our lovely SGSII?
[Galaxy S II General] h20pt:
Looks like ICS porting to Nexus S is going really good :eek:

Hope we can get it to GS2 fully working soon enough :)

[Galaxy S II General] SignalX:
guys,

come on... :)

what you think?

how many devs we have? REALL DEV [not a themer, or a person who can add some tweaks, and more...]

we need coders and real developers

and we dont have such developers until now for our sgs2

ex. bmarko [first sgs2 miui developer] was a real coder/developer and he's gone :-)

only thing we have, some good KERNEL developers :-)

please think a little more

SX
[Galaxy S II General] thanksgiving60:
where did bmarko go?
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
Jkay may have a word on that one... or just :) pbly not an area he wants to get into. Anyway, good luck with project sir.
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
He stopped developing because of personal issues plus the fact that people were using his stuff and showed no credit, I never saw anyone crediting bmarko besides ganstajoop..(big ups for that)

Was a shame because he really did do dev work, his 1.9.16 MIUI was awsome, nothing comes close. "/

Give me a sgs2 iCS compatible boot.img and i will port the rest.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
Back in windows mobile I did beta testing for a guy. I'm not sure that friends is the right word but we traded a lot of emails. His description of things from his view were daunting. A lot of hours go into these roms if you actually work at it and try and bring something new to the table or fix existing problems. There is always some bug to figure out, the next thing coming, and always the people whining for more. To be honest I don't have it in me to deal with what he described even were I to have the knowledge and I always keep my mouth shut on these threads insofar as any demand goes. Too many guys get burned out to no real end on this stuff and in many cases for people who have no appreciation for the work that was done. bmarko is just one in a long line. I hate preachin whether it be coming or going but I sure wish some of the people here would stop looking the gift horse in the mouth.

I glad to see very smart people spending their own free time to make all these awesome goodies for us! It's awesome that you guys are trying to port ICS to GSII. I would totally love help, but i don't know much about coding. I know some java but that's about it. I'm trying to learn though, the progression from user to developer is no easy. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] hobbit19:
I apologize that have not updated the status of work on the firmware.

I'm very busy at work was his.

I rewrote the driver touch screen and the port is ready for alpha testing.

But unfortunately in the test driver stopped to catch my phone network, and I gave it in repair and yet I can not test the firmware on.

I hope that my phone is repaired and I will resume work on the project

MOD EDIT

In the meantime, I'll choose five testers

to test firmware

[Galaxy S II General] Pat123:
Why don't you just upload your "test" port? If people like it, you will definitely get more donations! I don't think its fair to ask for donations upfront especially since I don't think you have released any thing in the past for the community (correct me if I am wrong)!
[Galaxy S II General] Dorilife:
+1

I was thinking the same..
[Galaxy S II General] SeanHacker:
a measly couple donations would allow you to take time off your day job? hmmm... that sounds really odd bro. i would just spend more time at work, you'll get paid more. trust me. i run 3 of my own rom threads and the pay is horrible with all the time i put into them. lol.

Not to mention he had no proof he has even gotten anywhere as far as I know.

This reminds me of a guy called netzke in the ps3 scene who demanded donations from people in order to be testers and then he disappeared with the money.

After seeing that, I would never donate to someone without any proof.
[Galaxy S II General] hobbit19:
I do not ask. I could have downloaded a test version, but am not sure it since after the last test my phone was broken as I wrote in the subject.

so I do not want more people have had problems in testing.

[Galaxy S II General] galnet:
Now this is the wrong way going about being noticed. If you have any form of a working port then it be rightful that you share it with the community.

By saying that you have a working port, but are not in the position to share will get you flamed.

People are crying out for my help, but if this is the way the community is going to be, then I think I may pass on the help, and stick to the I9000 port.

Now for others:

From going over the current Kernels available NONE of them are able to boot ICS. What is required is a CUSTOM "Boot.img" which loads "filterfw.jar" amongst the others.

As I'm not a kernel developer here is my cry for help.

If anyone could be kind enough to provide/compile a kernel with this requirement it would be appreciated.
