In fairness this isn't really intended to "beat" CM9 right now.

It's something totally different, it can't really be compared to Android, as it's going to be totally different... It's web app based rather than native app based :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bencairns:
I was meaning if it ever was released it would have to be damn good for me to swap to this over cm9 on the sgs2. That said ive been a big fan of mozilla for years and hope they continue to develop it and people like you pulsar and gokhan keep bringing us cool stuff for our phones. Thanks for your hard work. For anyone who runs siyah, go ahead and flash this too your 2nd rom, worked for me. Finally giving me a reason to use dual boot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] android_isda_shit:
please make this rom possible, would be a great base for new custom roms, and this is better than any gb,miui,cm7,cm9,aokp,aosp,ics rom, i heard that they made it possible on a htc model and the battery life increased more than half
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superlik:
So the type of pre existing secondary ROM doesn't matter right? just follow your instruction straight would be cool? Or does it need to be stock based ics or aokp is fine too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bartoloandre98:
Doesn't matter was running cm9 as primary.Btw while clearing data and cache of secondary it takes a while so don't be afraid that it got stuck
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superlik:
How about cm9 already in secondary ROM, i just follow the steps straight by gokhan or need to delete the secondary ROM first
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
You should be able to just flash it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] superlik:
I just flashed it and play around with it, it's kinda fun.thanks...i will be following this project

What about B2G Flashable CWM Build ?

EDIT: Found gokhanmoral Post and test with the files -> work fine ... thx

Hope we got all updates with CWM !!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Really? Smooth? Up until now everybody says its slow. Can someone please find time to upload a video of this thats up to date? Looks really promising!:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blizzari:
Its 90% smooth

There are laggs when you

1. Install an app

2. Toggle wifi

3. There was a third one but i dont remember how.

PS. For some reason i see only finnish people on this thread lol :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] svettipung:
Very cool, can u provide more builds to flash as the project develops gokhan?

Från tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gokhanmoral:
it is not my build, it is pulser's build. I've just made it CWM flashable in a "dirty" way :) (which is: I converted samsung img files to ext4 images, mounted them on loop, tar-ed everything to system.tar and data.tar files and made a script to 1-format system 2-wipe data 3-extract tar files to /data because it is a big partition 4-extract them 5-delete them)

but it is not the right way to do that.

pulser is working on a true CWM zip file which will have files in zip archive, extract them and set proper permissions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
It's awesome to have this as "second ROM"(I'm not sure is this a ROM). If nothing else, for show atleast. I should try the battery conception. because if battery runs low, maybe I could boot to this, and save some of it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah that may well work, battery life apparently is better, but I've never really run it for long enough to tell (need full functionality of Android myself)

Just want to make sure before flashing to second rom - this won't touch the data partition of the main rom will it? I can just flash gokhan's zip straight onto my (never used before) second rom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lazarvd:
too many lag :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] manyakurt:
Some problems that i think only I have:

-Some icons isnot visible, System,Test Agent, UI test and in addition i cannot open System

-Bottom menu icons can not touchable, dialer, messages, market, browser but on homescreen menu they work normaly.

-There is nothing in dropdown menu, it is empty.

-Lastly where is the hell wifi option ?

Is this all known issue? I dont think so, cause I read few posts ago some connects internet ects. and no one mentions System menu.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

nope, nothing to happend main rom. Just you need to wipe "2nRom" data cache in dual-boot menu. This creates necessary files, if they aren't created before. Then u r free to go, you should use "install... to 2nd Rom.." options in dual-boot menu.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] typhex:
can someone tell if it is right what i am doing??

i flashed ics custom rom

flashed newest siyah kernel

rebooted into download mode and flashed "Boot2GeckoDualBootsystem.tar" as PDA with Odin

at the last point ODIN says failed and i have to flash an original rom to get my device on again. what am i doing wrong?

is there a zip file prepared to just flash in cwm?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vwvanman:
If you are referring to the zip then it has to be flashed from CWM...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] philrich1:
Hi,

Saw this a little while back and was waiting for some progress.

After first attempting to flash the with normal ODIN, I had to flash Siyah back.

When I found Gokahs post, I used the 2nd ROM option and then flashed the build.

Everything seems good to me and the interface is very much like Android.

I'd be willing to test this further, if someone wants to contact me.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi all,

I really want to try this like my 2nd ROM, but when I try to wipe 2nd ROM data/cache, I always get an error ''format_volume make_extf4fs failed on...'', so I can't go ahead, because when I try to install it, it says ''Wipe 2nd ROM data/cache first'' and now I'm stuck. I have the latest Siyah kernel, tried to wipe it for 3 times and nothing.

Thanks in advance,

How much free space is on your internal sd?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:
2.1GB is exact size but it's always good to have more than that. In root explorer enable show hidden files from its preferences to see hidden files.

EDIT1 : Oh, both files, cache.img & data.img, are already in .secondrom. Still ''Server not found''. I don't know, how to re-install Gaia.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
It takes some time. I just noticed that i have the same, and i just earlier today installed it.

It requires building build enviroment. What i did was:

1. Installed ubuntu 12.04 via wubi

2. Installed java from ubuntu software center. It was called openjdk 6 or something close to that.

3. prepaired adb throught this guide:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921169. Just skip to step 2.

4.because I couldn't run adb, I installed following lib: ia32-libs.

5. Now I had adb working. Then i installed git with this command: sudo apt-get install git.

6.Then i cloned gaia with this command:git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git

7. then continued with: cd gaia, and after it: make install-gaia.

It should build gaia now. Your phone needs to be plugged to pc, because it uses adb.

Moar edit: Thanks for gabx for pointing out the new gaia location.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DomButcher:
Thanks a lot, but that's too much work for testing PRE-ALPHA. ._.

I won't install an OS just for it...will wait for upcoming versions and then maybe try it, but not now. Anyway, thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
Hmm... maybe if i install it and put it to second system. That way you can just drop the data.img to your sdcard. It does require that you have b2g system installed as second system.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DomButcher:
That would be good. :) Yes, I have it as a second system.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CharlesW123:
For all the above with the server not found error, please follow post #553 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26413603&postcount=553).

Need to hook the phone up to a pc via usb and actually build the files, they then transfer via adb and hey presto it works :) Is a one time thing though as once you power off, you have to re-send via usb to get it to boot in again. Also the default pin code is 0000 on the lock screen :)

P.S. I have it as 2nd ROM, so that way can easily boot to normal ROM when I'm done testing/playing with B2G.

Got to say very impressed with it as an alpha build. Will be following the project with great interest. Keep up the good work guys :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol. To be honest I was going to put this into non original development, simply because I didn't make it :D

But I figured I will put up some more information on how to build it yourself, so people can have a play :)

I've tweaked the building scripts and made my own one, which doesn't require an android device connected to build (for pulling binaries). So I can now just run a build at the press of a switch, have it automatically moved from build server to production server, and it will replace the build in the first post automatically :)
