Hello,

There is someone really working on a port of any custom to this cellphone?

I have brought a new phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) and I want to port my old MB511 to CyanogenMOD or MIUI.

I have some experience on embedded systems, bootloaders, Linux kernel development, but nothing related to cellphone or android.

So, I really want to start a mod but I want some help in order to make it

Reading (and-developers DOT com) I realized that I need:

1) Use recover 'Open Recovery' or 2ndboot

2) Compile Cyanogen kernel or MIUI (For OMAP-3410)

3) try to boot kernel

4) port cyanogen/miui

5) copy devices binaries

Do someone have any clue or a start point in order to get any step done? I'm new.

Any help will be appreciate.

NO. No anyone.

1) Use recover 'Open Recovery' or 2ndboot

Flipout's bootloader is locked. So...

3) try to boot kernel

4) port cyanogen/miui

Maybe you can ask laidaxin.

He would ready to port MB502.

He already port CM7 to MB508 success.

I hope this was useful to you

Just port CM7 from the Flipside.... Change libs and build.prop... They have the same processor and both have Android 2.2 I believe
[Flipout and Charm General] vladtdr:
very good ideea, but the bootloader is still locked
[Flipout and Charm General] laidaxin:
my recovery can't run in 2.1ROM,and the other two can't update ZIP because it can't mount system partion. I still finding the recovery and try to make a one that can help me to update to CM7 for MB502.

The bravo and defy bootloader is locked yet I can flash a defy rom by deleting boot.img and devtree.img then it should be fine.

Has someone fully tested any of these recovery

full backup and full restore?
[Flipout and Charm General] iuridiniz:
I just done by hand boot using Big Bootstrapped Recovery method (looking source code) - and I saw some wrong mount methods. So I could I help you and maybe we can make a mod together.

I have a CWM functional om my MB511 but I don't figure out how to do next step (port CM/MIUI),

What I did:

1) copy necessary files https://github.com/iuridiniz/CharmBootstrap/assets

adb push hijack/ /sdcard/hijack

2) backup everything (adb shell as root)

#!/bin/sh
BACKUP_DIR=/sdcard/backup-`date +%s`
mkdir $BACKUP_DIR

echo "
/cdrom/cdrom_vfat.bin
/system/bin/mot_boot_mode
/sbin/adbd
/sbin/e2fsck
/sbin/fix_permissions
/sbin/killrecovery.sh
/sbin/mke2fs
/sbin/nandroid-md5.sh
/sbin/parted
/sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh
/sbin/recovery
/sbin/sdparted
/sbin/tune2fs
" | \
while read i; do
if [ -n "$i" ]; then
cp $i $BACKUP_DIR
fi
done

Figure out which partition has /system and /cdrom using mount

mount

Now If I want to boot in recovery mode I need to create this file /data/.recovery_mode

echo 1 > /data/.recovery_mode

[Flipout and Charm General] laidaxin:
To port a CM7 ROM,the recovery is the first,but we still need a way to look at the logcat during booting the system,and a way to copy the .rc files to /sbin.These three things are most important!

maybe we need a 2nd-init boot thing that can only success to ports the CM,I still working on this.

if you want to work with me,pleast sent email to xn-dream@qq.com.
[Flipout and Charm General] iuridiniz:
But without upgrading the kernel will be possible to run CM7 (Gingerbread) ? I think that only CM6 (Froyo) will be possible.

Charm already has Froyo?
[Flipout and Charm General] laidaxin:
Defy CM9 came run with the 2.2 froyo kernel,why charm or filpout cant run 2.3 with the 2.1 kernel?

It is possable to build and run 2.3 with the older kernel.
[Flipout and Charm General] iuridiniz:
I don't know, it's because all tutorial for defy CM9 I'found ask me to upgrade to 2.2 (from 2.1) before.
[Flipout and Charm General] Geko90:
even froYo 2.2 would be such a difference! a lot of apps could be installed... do you really think you can make it! *____*
[Flipout and Charm General] laidaxin:
yes! Because some bin files can't run in the 2.1 system,like the bootmenu and the bootstrape recovery's bin files.

But the kernel can run the 2.3.So what we can do is to make a bootstrap recovery that can run in the 2.1 ROM and then jump to the 2.3.

It is difficult that we can't flash the kernel to the system,a hard work!
[Flipout and Charm General] spinky360:
i think shuld bee a way to by-pass the boot loader ... no ?
[Flipout and Charm General] laidaxin:
yes!!!This is what i do now,but so difficult that only me to work on this.
[Flipout and Charm General] Billis69:
I agree with that! Even a 2.2 based firmware would make a difference on the Flipout, so even if Cyanogen Mod 6 is possible I would love to use it on our phone!

Of course, if CM7 is a realistic option I would prefer that :)
[Flipout and Charm General] spinky360:
Ther is smth with wath to help u ?

on wath version of bootloader u are working ?

HI,

I'll try to fix flipout recovery or bootstrap recovery on my ME511.

I've found source codes of these two recovery and tested the apk on my phone.

It seems that bootstrap recovery can backup and restore successfully, but flipout recovery can only backup, it has no response when starting to restore system partition.

I'll test them more and make a zip file to try to update it using recovery. And make some fix to let it works well on flipout or charm.

Edit1：

I've tested that flipout recovery can't restore successfully if bootstrap recovery is installed and then un-installed before flipout recovery is installed , but bootstrap recovery can restore successfully if flipout recovery is installed and then un-installed before bootstrap recovery is installed.

If bootstrap recovery is installed and then un-installed before flipout recovery, one way to let flipout recovery can restore again is flash sbf and start from the beginning.

Edit2：

update zip files using flipout recovery failed. I'll test bootstrap recovery after flash sbf and start from the beginning.

Is there a built-in "Data saver" app like the one in stock rom or I need to use third party app?

That would be 3rd party, or in settings you can go to the data section.

Onavo is good, I use it. Try it and is free.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmo03:
Hi,

I read many posts about external_sd not detected properly on MIUI Roms..

Recently someone advised me to put GINGERBREAD bootloader first in order to have external_sd displayed correctly:

http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/...l-not-detected

What I did tried so far:

1. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1089989

Download the right version from section above

Reboot your phone into Download mode

Connect your phone to computer

Run EZOdin

Select EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 or EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5 as a PDA file in EZOdin

Check the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox

Click Start

Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery

Flash a custom CWM ROM

2. Then flash Galnet 2.3.2b stable

but right after that I ended up in a bootloop. Only when I removed memory card, it finished installation.. But with the same problem...

Please can you advise me with step-by-step instructions how to do that correctly ? (flashing correct GB bootloader and then MIUI rom...)

Thanks a lot!

Hi guys and gals.

Right I have had my play for a while now , love the phone and I know that this might seem a noob question but there seems to be alot of speculation around if the play will officially get ice cream sandwich , I have held back from unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom Rom as I don't want to void the warranty.

Can anyone say officially if out lovely plays will get this upgrade.

Thanks

Chris .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudShepherd:
hi Alex,

The ICS Update for our play's is set to be release from april-may of this year.

It's probably going to be release alongside PlayStation Suite, so if we get one of the two, be excited for the other, cause we're probably gonna get it too! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bacondroid:
If you have a Verizon PLAY (And if you do, you're a sorry bastard. The thing gets ZERO development), then I'd go ahead and unlock the bootloader now. You aren't getting ICS from the big red anytime soon, so your best bet is CM9.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benc1213:
Do you think that the r800at (AT&T) will get the update?

Hmmm that's if they do roll it out, see now I would jump ship and unlock the boatloader on my phone if I could install the clockwork mod and a custom Rom call me thick but each time I look at doing it it says that the boatloader cant be unlocked on my phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GojiTronix:
When it says that the bootloader can't be unlocked you have to pay 24$ usd to alendrissimo and he will remotely unlock it for you, he unlocked mine and I'm glad he did :-)

and, can i use LG IME for this rom? thanks.

EDIT2: i found some themes here. hopefully they will work. i'm thinking of uninstalling/freezing supersu and installing superuser instead. think that will work, DevSwift?
