Is it just obnoxious twats that visit these forums? The OP wasn't implying that color has an effect on the electronics inside. He was asking about a claim, which was repeated on these forums, that the black production line has tighter quality control. Personally, I do not think that this is the case, but it is a VERY LEGITIMATE question, and NOT the ramblings of a five year old!
[HTC One X] daywalker_7780:
dear Tomo1971

i'm not a 5 yrs old kid...maybe i'm older than u...lol

i asked this question coz i heared some ppl talking about a lot of problems with white hox and also updates issues

thats why i wanted some experts to tell me if there was really any difference

thx for your answer
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
There is no such difference. it is just the housing. And every one can change the colour. If you think black has no error then get black house and change it. Btw it is bad idea and just for fun.

If you were unlucky then you get flaw in your phone.

I'm waiting for my battery to charge a little before I get back on XDA from my PC. Lmao. Let me go bake some clay ;)

Oh yeah, and you're an ass :p

I didn't have access to Linux... my Ubuntu.android drive got deleted by mistake.... I did this whole damn thing manually. Ugh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Can't wait to hear the results!

Good luck :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Gonna have to wait a few, it seemed to install smoothly, doesn't get passed ani though. I'm not sure what needs fixing, Probably just need to remove my special gift that I left in there... Oh, well, I didn't really expect attempt #1 to get it done. Back to the drawing board.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
All good man...I'm playing around with the new TouchWiz...looks a lot nicer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
I'll give er a shot tonight as well bro:D

Well, attempt 3 in a moment, really dont know #+*| about anything so... (sure is fun though)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
well i must say, I'm pretty happy to have another person trying to give to the community. Not that our devs aren't good enough or anything but it's always nice to have more people trying to give back. Now that is what makes the world go round.

Start with a decent read. I have no idea what I'm doing and I just got SGS3 Rom to boot on E4gt! It isn't stable yet, fcs like crazy and whatnot... oh, back to it. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Still alot of nothing. Ill have this settled today. Thats my goal, anyway...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theheathen:
How about just getting the lockscreen working? :D That is one sweet looking lockscreen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:

Set this as lockscreen wall paper =p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theheathen:
Yeah but I want that water effect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Why would you not have it? Works fine for me ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theheathen:
Whatcha talkin about Willis?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Talking about the water effect. Does it not register for you? If it doesn't, we can make it! :D

Edit, I didnt realize you couldnt set as lockscreen. But its an awesome background

Good luck man! This is so exciting! If you ever get frustrated just grab some fresh air for a couple of minutes to clear out your mind, and then get back to it. I'm sure you're doing a great job!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
Good luck!! Pretty exciting to know that someone is working on this port.. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Honestly, if it doesn't boot this time I don't even know what to try next. I'm sure it'll work itself out. I got it to boot once.. but that was luck. Even while nonstop force closing it was beautiful ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
did you pull any logs when it booted? Pretty sure we can all give you a hand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
Yep yep... pull a log and post it.. I'm sure Erik aka T.C.P and others will help... you got it to boot, that's your first variable.. :D

Now check out some of the porting guides they have posted up on xda to help you raise your baby.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Unfortunately, no. I didn't realize that i wouldn't be able to replicate attempt two. Also....

=/ I didnt realize how difficult this would be.... When I say "boot" I mean I could see a clock and nonstop fc. Lol., I'm not giving up, just starting over with a better source and better tools.

I imagine Ill make progress tomorrow worth mentioning. As for now, im gonna bury my head in some sand. :(

(probably didnt get any work done at work today because of those "how to"s lmao)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
Lmao.. its all good.. I'm learning too.. I'm trying to attempt a miui port to my galaxy tab 10.1.. I didn't even get it to boot.. just the boot screen.. going to re-up tomorrow and try again... :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Man I love this community :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Well I was going to help with this, but it seems it's beyond my knowledge as well. Just tried a ton of different things and couldn't even get a logcat lol We'll probably both keep trying though. Hope he can link me to the one he got booting, as that might be more successful :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
I can't get it to boot again though.... after it booted, I put it aside and the rest of my attempts have all been separate but when I tried last night it wouldn't get past the boot animation again. I'm trying to remember what I did before it booted. I know I was frustrated, and usually that leads me to unorthodox practices... I think I flashed bare rom converter when it wouldn't boot at first, that probably didn't affect anything...

Ill upload the one that briefly booted/link you to it and you can see if you can make heads or tails of what had been done/what happened.

This is far more annoying than I anticipated.

I scrapped it all and am starting from scratch. Again. But this time I'll have Linux on my side. . . . (and hopefully some of you guys if I can get anything started)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
What if you were to flash only the system from GSIII and flash the latest E4GT kernel/modem...

Maybe merge the lib and etc files from the latest 4.0.4 build into the GSIII system then try flashing and see if it boots?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Similar to what I was playing with yesterday. It doesn't take to some part of it. You could definitely play with it and see happens :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Once I am back home on my own computer I can give it a try...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
I tried just using the system folder. Then after that didnt work i started swapping the more important files but got nothing. I then pulled apart the boot.img and added our kernel and changed device properties to match ours. Still nothing. I never even got a boot animation lol I'll keep trying with the build he gave me ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:

Yeah, I definitely should have started by porting Ken&Barbie Meet The Beach or something... this is ridiculous. 7 (countless each) fails and one brick-scare

(got the same "failed to upgrade firmware" i got before my brick) later I have nothing to show for it less some silly screenshots...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
how did you get GSM on here? 4G is pretty impressive too.. I can't even get mine to boot after changing the wall paper..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
How come the signal bars look different between the screen shots? Is that just nova on the tw ROM? Looking at the 4g radio too that leads me to believe. No way Sprint 4g works on that gs3 ROM

Never said it was working... Hense the "silly screenshots" comment. I was trying to find where some issues were by starting on FE22 and installing S3 components one at a time. I made it through almost everything before it gave way.

Sorry to disappoint/upset your delicate nature with my fully,admitted failure. Have you not seen the OP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
The signal bars look different because it's cdma in one shot and GSM in another..

Also, I fine-tooth-combed my rom for ANY reference to WiMAX or Sprint and transplanted. I'm positive that if I can get this rom booting I can get WiMAX working soon after.

The rom we are trying to port is the international version which us gsm, sorry for the confusion Chris. He must have changed those files out and then took another screen shot lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Well since it was printed by the onion you know its not true
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Lmfao! Best answer possible.

Thought a progress report was in order.

I think we are getting really close. I "felt" this phone trying to boot today, got all the framework in order, thought of a potential solution for size difference but I need to verify some stuff. I at least got it to a hybrid state today and that feels like progress? Idk.

You may find one of those pics as interesting as I did...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
what exactly are you showing us? just so i can be sure? and im still not sure why some of these pics are gb and some have gsm signals and some have cdma.. and how you have 4g...

whats really going on??? can you post a changelog or what exactly you are doing.. maybe one of these developers around here could help you out... im interested in how you got all all that **** to fit.. and how you got that samsung market, and all that funny japanese writing on there...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Salty!:
This just seems fishy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
I am Epic-ly failing at getting a fully (or even slightly) working XXALE8 working on my phone. Others are trying as well, it's slow and pain staking.

So for kicks and giggles, after it fails and after staring at my boot animation forever, I install a no-data O-C or flash a rom without a wipe-all script and... since XXALE8 is so huge I put several of it's components that I had in place somewhere in /data. I also (since I've gotten used to failing) made a quick update/merge folder that after the no-data I throw onto /system.

Basically, it is a log of my fail. But I add some humor. Sorry, just kind of thought we all understood that after the last time... oh well, now you know. This is where you can laugh at a failure.

This last fail actually left me with a beautiful phone! This fail is going to become my new backup-in-case-I-never-make-it-work backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sahn-J:

http://pastebin.com/TZzz37AX Logcat if anybody knows what it means lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
looks like a cluster**** of mixed deodexed and odexed frameworks.. and missing files..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Alright thanks Chris, I noticed some were odexed and some weren't, weird lol Also right before that I just copied all of the libs and bin because I got frustrated lol I'll start over and I gotta learn to repack a zimage in windows anyway. If anybody knows how or can do it for me let me know;) I just want the boot class path for stock gs3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the only way you are going to repack a zImage in windows, short of a VM, is manual hex editing.. which is how i started out doing it... and I dont recommend it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Ok, I got Ubuntu running on a seperate laptop I just got to get it set up. I'll look it up or if you have time to explain in a pm or here in this thread that's cool to. Thanks for the response bro:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
basically zImages have a "magic number" to identify them as zImages..

you use a hex editor and find that number

strip everything before that number off. and resave

then find in ascii the string TRAILING!!! and strip everythign after that off. and resave.

at this point you should rename it to something .gz and uncompress it using something that does gzip compression ( i recommend 7zip on windows).

inside there is one file. this is a cpio file. it can also be opened with 7zip, and uncompressed.

thats how you get the initramfs on windows using a hex editor.. if you get that far.. pm me and ill see about working with you on putting it back together.. but i promise its faster to install & configure linux, and extract and repack the kernel...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sahn-J:
Lol

Booted ubuntu and grabbed a pen. Dont be shy now. Online tutorials blow compared to light-saber training with Yoda :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Cool I'll try that! I can unpack with Android kitchen in Ubuntu I just gotta figure it out from there lol Those instructions are for windows?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Easy way to get that thanks bar filled ... ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
those instructions work for any platform, but are the tedious way. on linux its a 3 second thing with a script.

i made a thread on how to repack kernels for the OG epic a long time ago

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263530

but most of it still applies.. some of the files would need updating of course..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Alright thank you so much, you just made my life a hell if a lot easier sir! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:

Carmegeddon for sgs2!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Galaxy s 3 stock ROM. Its been a giant pain compared to others I attempted on my ns4g lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
And just an update, when i get home I gotta reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop because my brother crashed it that night haha so i hope to have a decent kernel in a few days. What i have to do is open the zimage from fe22 and copy the boot class path from the gs3 ROM, then attempt to pack the files back into a zimage. Another thing is all the framework has to be resized to fit our screen, which is 480x800. Hopefully we can make it happen:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Agat made a kernel repacked with the sgs3 intramfs when we was working on it. One sec and I can find it

Cool thanks bro! Will check it out when i get home and I'll try to keep everyone updated on the progress. Now i just need to build a new ROM from the system.img and boot.img and go from there. The last one was giving me issues with odex. I just use Android kitchen so hope it works right this time. Thanks for all the help everyone, it would be neat to get this up and running;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I have a full system dump from the sgs3 that's deodexed for the most part. Has like on or two apks that aren't. If you want you can grab it from my FTP. If you want it let me know and I will give you the link.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Sounds perfect, i would appreciate that! It would make my day lol I should be able to fix the the ones that aren't deodexed as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
No prob. I attempted it myself but didn't get far and then life a worries came into the mix. If you guys are gonna try it the least I can do is pass pass the files on to you all. If there's anything else I can do just let me know. Good luck guys. Also just some info. Sprint is releasing the sgs3 on the 21st. So be on the lookout for system dumps from that phone as well. Some of those files may help stable things once you get it going.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Yup exactly my thought process:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Alright checking in here, not even a boot animation... Think it has something to do with file size and I also had an issue with the updater-script, which i'm working on and it sucks lol The one from our stock ROM will get it to install though so that might be fine. I need to find out how the op was getting extra space because his always got at least boot animation. Anyway, more work tomorrow i'm going to crash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anon9mouz:

__________________________________________________
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
No, never built from source lol Just took the system.img and boot.img from the original dump, throw it in android kitchen and voila;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anon9mouz:
O OK cool

__________________________________________________
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
If you ever have access to those files now you know, with source youre actually pulling the code from say.. Github and building with just the code i believe. Pretty neat huh? Thats my next step hopefully! ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Ok im pretty stuck, i keep getting a very similar logcat every time. Maybe i should quit until i know more, but i hate giving up. It takes forever on each attempt and the errors i keep getting are debug android runtime.so, debug nativehelper.so, debug libc.so. Those are the main ones. If i replace them with the originals it will not even get boot animation. So im guessing i have to find the files that those are 'attached' to in order for it to run...? Any ideas hit me up. I'll keep working on it in my increasingly rare spare time :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
That is pretty much where I me and Agat stopped at as well. If you want to work on something. My time has gotten scarce in the last few days. Look in my thread in the last post by me. There is a link to a SGS2 ROM that is identical to the SGS3. Should be able to port it over pretty easy. I was going to work on it but if you want to take on the project then its all yours. If not no worries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostzyden:
Alright man i'll give it a shot. I may have better luck lol I was spoiled withmy ns4g when i started, we got almost everything to boot on that phone lol And this project has pulled me away from my music production as well. If i can get the other one going i wouldnt be sad to be done with this haha. Appreciate the help as always!

Friggin impossible with what I was working with....

At best what I got that was able to boot was 70ish% of a port.. that I couldnt get flashable.

There was definitely something else influencing it from my SD or something....

Wish I could have been posting and getting some help but alas, I gave up. . . . I dont like to quit. Still smoke even... Oh well.
