[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
Question for ya mg...

I used to blind port using steps similar to the instructions you posted here, but I don't think it's gonna be that easy this time.

I have 3 scenarios going on, depending on how I build it. Keep in mind, I have to remove some apks' to reduce the size a little, but all "new" JB features remain intact (Now,Listen/Ears... you get the idea). I do replace libandroid_runtime.so on the first run, second run is original.

In all scenarios the JB /app folder has been modded to fit. Magazines, Books, Currents, Youtube, G+, and other "not needed right now" apps removed.:

1. If I leave everything in the CM9 build and just swap /system and /META files, it never installs fully and the only change is to /media and /app, all else remains CM9. It never reformats and just replaces some files.

2. If I replace only /system and leave all else alone, it will install but it bootloops. In both scenario 1 and 2 I get the same particulate to Samsung "S" logo, although it's way overstretched. Pretty, but not what I'm going for.

3. If I swap /app, /media, /framework and /fonts into CM9 from JB, it will not get past the 2nd boot screen (Galaxy S/Cyanogenmod), regardless of wether I do or do not swap the libandroid_runtime.so. Actually I fibbed here, as one time with the runtime file swapped it did get past boot screen, but it had just a blank screen. I did have "some" haptic feedback and the buttons below lit up, but no volume rocker control (at least no audio).

What say you, young jedi of porting?

My next step will be to compare /system/lib folders and replace only ones that don't exist or have newer timestamps...

I will have no time between now and tomorrow to play with this. There is a post earlier in this thread linking to the I9300 JB build, and CM9 20120627 is available from here.

Anyone else wanna take a crack at it, feel free. I have a funny feeling we're in for the long haul on this as we have some kernel work that needs to be done, maybe some drivers as well.:eek:

(I apologize for the lengthy post, I wanted to clear the air on what I was doing.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Longer the post the better I say man, and just makes things all the more clear. I besides seeing as there was a lot of work with ICS I'm sure many of us expected JB to be an equally or harder beast to tame, and but good luck to all those who try. I would try but my "teacher" didn't teach me anything like he said he would..... I wont say names
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Hmm...well first don't be sorry about the length...better to have more than not enough

I'm thinking we will most likely have to wait for a new kernel or at least for the current one to be modified enough for it to boot...if I remember correctly the guys over at the galaxy s scene had slightly modified the kernel so it could boot...haven't looked at there progress so I dont know if there build has improved

Once cyanogenmod builds a jb build it will probably make things slightly easier and we will be able to compare the sourced to see if they did anything special/different compared to cm9

If I think of anything else ill be sure to let you guys know...I just woke up lol

Edit: also...anyone know if JT still has an infuse? Maybe we can get him to work his magic again...he was able to get us ics, so I'm sure he can get a bootable jb

Maybe start a little bounty for him to do it...I'd be willing to donate him some money, only have a little left but it would be for a good cause
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
The guys at galaxy s got it with most features working, I believe
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im not sure jt ever had an infuse. he didn't when he did the first builds. look in the droid charge forums and see if he is still around xda and if he has something going on that device. but please don't harass him, i'm sure he and entropy will be in contact to figure this out if entropy thinks he can be of help.

edit:

just checked the charge section and it look empty. i dont think jt was ever very active on xda, they dont even mention him, i know he took his builds to his own web site, just need to find the link.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
I think you're looking for rootzwiki. It's like xda but with a lot less people. Jt tried to move the infuse community there but almost no one went with him so his development stalled and entropy took the project over. Jt wasn't that happy that entropy didn't talk to him first, but that's what happens as entropy only has an xda account and jt ignores xda messages. So I wouldn't count on jt being as willing to help this time around.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GoSooners345:
I wondeR why the galaxy s is a zombie
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well i found his git-hub seems he's been working on the sgs4g with mtd as well as other stuff. it doesn't look like he got very far with the charge, but who could blame him, the thing is huge and ugly and even worse than the infuse as far as development goes. well i find it weird that he got mad that entropy started with his cm9 builds. he never had an infuse and wanted to get with a developer over here so an infuse dev could take over. maybe it was the lack of communication but who's fault is that? maybe it was because entropy didn't jump in when jt initially said he wanted to have an infuse dev do the work but only took over after jt did the bulk of the work? i dunno.

anyway if he starts on cm10 for the sgs4g i'm sure somebody has the skills to port that to the infuse. our ril and modem are cross compatible with the sgs4g so really only the ram and camera are different. i think stuff can still be borrowed from his work on that device. if that gets going.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
It was lack of communication...the problem was that jt was on rootzwiki and entropy was on xda...but I coulda swore he was the one that we bought the infuse for, well I wasn't able to donate to the cause at the time so I guess the proper wording is "those who donated" instead of "we" guess Im wrong though
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
After reviewing this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551711

The donated money was to buy quarx an.infuse (what ever happened to that?)

Jt had borrowed an infuse from bedwa...so he did have an infuse in hand for development

And it only tool jt 30 minutes to get ics to boot on the infuse cause he is just that crazy good of a dev...of course it was really buggy but...it was a start to what we have now (BTW, I don't expect any insane quick progress like that...I'm just pretty amazed and in disbelief...)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
Not sure what happened to the money. I'm sure quarx used it for other phone dev purposes in the end

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I didn't donate so really shouldn't have an opinion...but as long as it got put to good use
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
iirc he had bedwa's old infuse for a bit. i unno.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
I haven't talked to him in a while... but I think he is the type pf guy that does not put money into things quickly, he may have it. Ill talk to him.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Wow... I never bothered to read through the actual thread before for the ICS project... But i must admit, reading through that and seeing how quickly JT proved Dman wrong is absolutely craziness. Even though im very very doubtful about JB, reading those posts back for ICS makes me want to start putting some effort into trying to get JB to port. I think i may or may not sync the JB source and also a few kernels to see what we are going up against here..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
I think you should try. I don't have a powerful enough machine or fast internet to do it. I can compile cm7 but not ics lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
I got my Ubuntu VM setup with 400 gb hard drive, 4 CPU cores, 4 gb of ram. I'll be able to handle it... ill try a few of my porting tricks first and see what kind of progress if any I can make (probably wont be much) and go from there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
Sounds good. I would say everything would work once kernel is fixed. I'm sure all libs and stuff would be the same as from cm9. But good luck. Post anything you find out here!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
You said something a little while back about Galaxy S having ported it? Can you get me a link?

FYI.. dont get your hopes up... I make no promises... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
Maybe he meant the Nexus S port

It would be a good start point to see the modified kernel files though
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
I downloaded the stock JB setup.... Its only 192mb or so... Some one said that it was impossible for us to run JB because the ROM was to big?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
The entire package I got (Galaxy SII), when unzipped, is 390 or so MB, IIRC. That was why when I was trying it I was removing various un-needed .apks' from the /system/app folder such as magazines, books, currents, etc. Anything I could remove without killing the experience (GoogleEars/Listen, Velvet and the search stub, things like that...).

I was trying to match the system size based on what the CM9 build size was (around 306 unzipped)... all I got was bootloops.

I'm not at my computer right now but will be in around an hour. I can double-check what I have and let you know.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Yea definitely... The more heads we have on this the better so we dont waste time doing things that were already tried.. Im in PA so its 3:30PM right now... I wont be able to get on my computer until around 5:30ish... Ill PM you my Google Talk name so we can communicate easier.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i stopped following xda after my first infuse broke so i guess i didn't see the part where bedwa lent jt the infuse. but jt had compiled i think 3 builds before that which i volunteered to test for him that got into recovery but i had trouble getting adb access for logcats. funny that it turns out the reason those blind builds didn't boot was the rainbow fix which he would have had no experience with since it's unique to the infuse. if it wasn't for that one thing jt could have built it blindly.

in the time that my infuse was broke and i got the run around with replacement screens that don't work then finally replaced it with another infuse for about the cost of a replacement screen, i guess he got it booting and entropy decided to build cm9 but i'm a little fuzzy on those parts. he had told me he wasn't gonna continue on the project, but i guess he did once bedwa lent him the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
entropy said in irc that he was going to get jb working when cm10 was out. you can join irc and bug him to death to get it earlier. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
NO!!! Do not bug any dev to death to release things early...that will just annoy them, its best to be patient and wait. If you wanna help with porting it over then I would say it would be ok to bug him...but only a little...don't wanna annoy the guy that has the skills to do this...last thing we need is the whole infuse community bugging entropy

Besides...I thought one of the biggest most well known parts of CyanogenMod was to NEVER ask for ETAs
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Exactly... No matter how much its killing you,,,, keep your mouth shut!! :good:

And until then... lets see if i can atleast get boot... second attempt with no research and i got bootanimation... not boot loop, just straight boot animation...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
I got boot animation and it was giving me iptable and netd errors
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
I only got as far as boot animation... computer atleast recognized my phone when i connected it from there... Im going to try one more way later tonight... Honestly.. I think i was wishing instead of being realistic... I am just about 100 percent that this piece isnt going to get past the stupid "x" boot animation without kernel changes.

Going back to working on ParanoidAndroid... If anyone has any ideas let me know... Not sure i want to start messing with the kernel... Think thats a job for the big guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
Yea. I'm sure they will be on it once cm10 gets nightlys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
You've done a nice job with Paranoid... the only idea I have is you might want to check in to Texasices' thread over at N1 development. He posts info for all and although it is 2 totally different phones you may just find the path for the Infuse. He did an excellent job of bringing ICS to the N1. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
My DX2 is eligible for an3 upgrade and I'm getting 30 dollars off whatever new phone I order. I'm thinking about just ordering an S3, keeping my DX2 and selling the S3.

What do you guys think is a fair price for a never opened, NIB S3?

Edit: 32 gig of course.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
When you figure out a price, pm me. I do not want my Stratosphere I'm getting as a warranty replacement because of the slide out keyboard so I am looking to get rid of it and buy an S3 or something

Edit: wouldn't you have to open it to remove the 4g sim card anyways? It's linked with your number I thought
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I think it's going to be about 100 bucks under retail, depending on shipping arrangements. It's kind of a hard decision to make, selling it, because it locks me into my DX2 for a bit longer--but I think I want the cash to buy a Google Nexus 7. I **** with my phone so much because I don't have a tablet. So the reasoning is, get a tablet, stop ****ing about with the phone.

Reality will eventually strike I'm sure, and I'll just find myself ****ing with the tablet and the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Full retail...at first it will sell for astronomical amounts, then taper off....I'd keep the Samsung though, even though they feel cheaper, they outperform and are way more customizable

Inserted 20¢ for the first three minutes
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
You can buy three Nexus 7's with what you'll sell a new sgs3 for

Inserted 20¢ for the first three minutes
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Well, I spent nearly 300 bucks, even with my discount, which Version (of course) managed offset with their "upgrade" fee--so 300 bucks from my sale price pays off the credit card, leaving 275 or so to the Nexus 7 and accessories--basically makes it free.

I'm really tempted to just keep the phone. What I'm thinking at the moment (which may change once the phone is in my greedy little paws) is that my DX2 will last until Christmas and I'm sure I'll end up being able to scoop up something decent off Swappa or CL as a gift.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
So, it's been released...where you at with it now?

DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I ordered later, I won't have it for another day. I'm absolutely going to sell it though, I decided I really want the GooNex 7 and selling the S3 gets it in my hands for no real cost.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Well, I guess it shipped earlier than expected, I just got the phone. Damned Motorala, they've gotten me used to wanting to hold a solid phone, this S3 feels like cardboard. It boots pretty damned fast, maybe under 30 seconds, I haven't timed it, but it feels really fast. The screen is MUCH nicer than I thought it would be and it's snappy as can be, programs pretty much fly open, transitions are beautiful.

Anyway, I'm not going to spend much time getting used to it, it will be on CL and Swappa tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
If anyone here wants this phone, I'll sell it for 580.00 and cover the cost of USPS priority mail.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Ended up selling locally for $570.00, I'm pretty happy. I feel like the guy who bought it got a good deal and I have enough left over after paying off my card to order the GooNex7.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nethoinkz:
Hi everyone. I am new here and a complete noob about android and I need a little help. I don't even know where to start.

First... I wanna tell you some information about my phone.

Model: Sony Ericsson Live (WT19i)

Android: 2.3.4

Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.62

Hmm... What I wanted to do is make my phone fast and longer battery life... Please give me a list of apps that you suggest me to download, like Easy task killer, Easy battery saver, etc... Also give me the list of best apps you know for optimization... Less apps, much better (because I don't wanna have 2 task killers, 2 file managers, etc.).

I also wanted to upgrade my android to ICS(4.0.4), but I don't know how to do that.

One more thing is that I am still confused about the roms, kernels, rooting, firmwares, stock, CWM, etc... Can you please enlighten me about them. Like pros and cons. :)

Questions: (will update and bump if I added another)

1. If I install rom like for example MIUI will that upgrade my Android from 2.3.4 to somewhere?

Thanks!

@edit: Also, could you give me a step by step guide on making my phone better.

e.g.

1. download this

2. root

3. unlock your bootloader

4. do this and that

5. install this kernel

6. install this rom

7. download this app

8. do this and that

(please be more specific because I'm a real noob. :) Thanks!)

Just connect with your computer and pc companion says that an upgrade to ics is available... (depends on your country)

Greetz :D

Sony WT19i

Android 2.3.4 GB ROOTED :D

LOCKED BOOTLOADER

CUSTOMIZED FONT :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
1. root is a must! There are alot of tutorials on how to do it. It comes to this: downgrade to .42 or .58 using flashtool, root using doomlords exploit, prepare it for ICS (with xperiaroot) - to insure you keep root on ICS, then upgrade to ICS with flashtool

2. once you're on ICS and with root access, only sky is the limit ;) I would suggest you to install CWM recovery and back up your rom, just in case

3. once you back it up, feel free to remove all the unnecessary bloatware that is useless to you, but is running in the background and draining your power

4. install mods that makes access to switches (wifi, 3g, display brightness, gps...) very easy - Quickpanel statusbar

All tutorials can easily be found in general area, just take your time and go through them.

Dont use task killers, they dont work as well as they seem to... They kill your apps, and those same apps just restart (meanwhile using extra power for that) and they're back there again. Android can handle ram on it own, if it needs extra memory, it'll automatically kill unused apps.
[LG Optimus 2x] dental7:
I recently got the lg optimus x2. It is running on 2.3.4.

Initially, the wifi connected but 3g was not recognised even though data roaming and access was enabled. However, now i cannot even connect to wifi. It keeps saying 'obtaining ip add' and then fails.

Going through various google searches I have messed around with the settings, set apn to default. Done factory reset. Disconnected, reconnected, changed sim cards, tried 2g, messed around with vpn, selected all network mode's but nothing seems to work. I have contemplated rooting the phone but doubt this will do anything?

This is extremely frustrating considering the "amazing" reviews the phone has one expects a simple tool such as wireless connection to work.

Would be grateful if anybody had any other ways to possibly resolve the issue?????

Thanks

[LG Optimus 2x] borgond:
There are two things you could do ...

1. Return the LG 2X - if that's still possible

2. Switch to a Custom ROM

Installing the first official LG update to my phone was a major setback for me as a lot of things stopped working, that worked before. But switching to a Custom ROM made me a happy man.

Have you considered trying out e.g. DjangoManouche (2.3.x) it is based on the stock ROM but has massive improvements built in.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410662

If you feel like you want the ICS experience there is NovaHD (based on CM9)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508492

The only glitch with CM9 is, that there are currently no drivers for the Tegra2 chipset released which results in lack of FullHD video recording, beside that the ROM works like a charm.

I am running NovaHD on my 2x now and not willing to go back to Gingerbread ;-)

If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know!

Cheers!

I cant download clockworld mode...so i tried to do it through the computer...and now the phone wont switch on
[LG Optimus 2x] borgond:
Hi,

that doesn't sound too good - did you follow any instructions installing clockworkmod?

I installed it using RomManager on the phone itself, worked like a charm.

Did you root your phone already?
[LG Optimus 2x] dental7:
I couldn't install it directly as i had no 3g/wifi (initial issue)...after i transferred the Nova Hd file into the SD, installed clockworld through PC and attempted a restart it wouldnt switch back on :(
[LG Optimus 2x] borgond:
Have you tried removing the battery and inserting it again? - Did you turn on the phone while pressing volume down (until the first LG logo disappears)?

This should then boot into clockwork recovery if you installed it correctly before.
[LG Optimus 2x] dental7:
done both, nothing works- phone is dead as a brick
[LG Optimus 2x] borgond:
This might be a dumb question, but has the battery still power? Have you tried with the power cord attached?

Is there nothing on the screen, no lights blinking? Brick dead?

Does this sound similar?
