[Droid X General] danjull:
I haven't ported anything before and haven't messed around too much with ROMs, besides some mild tinkering and a whole lot of flashing. I've got a spare Droid X laying around I thought I'd use as a guinea pig for some learning. Flashed Paranoid Android to my Nexus 7 and saw a link to porting it to other devices. So I figured it'd be a starting point for me.

I've been looking at this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27602914&postcount=24

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, I've got Eclipse with the ADT plugin, android SDK, Meld for comparison/merging, and apktool/aapt.

Is this possible? Is the tutorial "valid"? I've got a verizon ICS Paranoid Android ROM and CM9 for the DX. What else do I need? Just looking for a little guidance.
[Droid X General] danjull:
No one?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I don't know a whole lot about porting or Java.

But I can recommend that you take the most stable build of Ice Cream Sandwich the Droid X can run and use it as a base for Ice Cream Sandwich Paranoid Android.

Good luck to you!
[Droid X General] Stevens1993:

[Droid X General] Äptiva:
I believe the most stable is MIUI v4, but I would recommend using CM9 or Gummy as a base. From about 20 minutes of Google searching, I can only find builds of PA that include CM10 base
[Droid X General] danjull:
I've got 3 different 1.5 (ICS) based PA. Can't get passed bootlooping though. Got logcats, but not sure what's going on there.

This is where it stops and loops.

[Droid X General] Äptiva:
could you possibly put the more recent PA 1.5 in a DB so I can grab it or provide a link?

I'm more of a tinkering fixer than logs personally, but maybe it's just something in your port?

Do this only work if I login right after a fabric reset? Or I need to wait days?

If u haven't had the offer before login on line you may have to perform some of the tasks required to get extra space for example put link on Facebook , share a folder
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
Worked for me.

You have to go through dropboxs getting started tutorial thing to get it. (If you haven't yet).

It will also fail if you tried to get extra space with a manipulated dropbox apk in the past. In that case tge droobox support can reset that flag for you.

yeah, go to: dropbox.com/gs

and do some of those. (like - install the app, share a folder. nothing too exciting)

Just wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly. When flashing a modem is there anything I should clear or wipe first? I couldn't think of anything. Also the VRLG1 modem is the same as the VRALG1 modem right? Thanks.

no need to clear anything if your just flashing a modem. And ummm... where are you getting VRALG1 i bolded the A, because i can't seem to understand where you got it from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dag1337:
Someone in the Paranoid Android forum called it VRALG1. The battery life on the latest Paranoid Android build was really bad and they said the modem was unstable. So someone said he flashed the VRALG1 modem and everything was good. Then someone else said that the same thing worked for him. Everywhere I looked I just saw the VRLG1 modem, so I just assumed it was the same thing or just a typo or something. Anyway I flashed VRLG1 and everything seems to be working great so far. At least I'm not dropping 1% in batter every 2 minutes like I was before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
I've gotten a lot of help today here and I'm thankful, but I'm still stuck.

Before getting into this, let me first state I'm no novas to roming but for some reason this Samsung Captivate is fighting me left and right.

===========================

BASIC STATS

===========================

Before getting into anything, here's all the important information:

Desktop OS: Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit

Desktop Java Version: 7.0 (b 1.7.002)

Desktop .Net Version: 4.0

Desktop Samsung Driver: 1.3.450.0

Samsung Captivate Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Samsung Captivate Firmware: v2.3.5

Samsung Captivate Baseband: vi897UCKK4

Samsung Captivate Kernel: v2.6.35.7-I897UCKK40CL614489

Samsung Captivate Build Version: Gingerbread.UCKK4
​

Note: Phone is rooted.

===========================

OTHER SOFTWARE

===========================

Software I've been trying to use:

Odin3 v1.85

Clockwork ROM Manager v5.0.2.1

Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.7

CyanMod v10-20121004-NIGHTLY-ville
​

===========================

GOAL

===========================

Get a clean fully operational Android v4.x rom installed (I'd prefer Jellybean, but from my research, its not as stable as the ICS builds out).

===========================

BIGGEST PROBLEM

===========================

I can't seem to get a Recovery Partition installed that will install roms. Every rom I try to install is claimed to be corrupted by the default Recovery mode.

Also, ev ery version of Heimdall I've tried for everything has failed to work for me. Odin3 seems to do everything I need it to, save, installing a Recovery Partition that allows custom roms.

===========================

BACKGROUND

===========================

At this point I've recovered from a Soft Bricking (thanks to 4-2ndtwin) but I am stuck at trying to get the away from the stock recovery partition party because it seems like every time I find a solution, all the links to the files I need seem to be dead links, so I am largely looking for current information (the stickies, sadly, are no exception to this).

Generally speaking, everything using Heimdall hasn't worked at all for me to date. Odin3 v1.85 has generally worked. I still need to find a recovery partition that will allow custom roming.

Thanks to anyone who can give me some ideas how to tackle this problem!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
Also, since I am looking at it right now, these are the steps that keep soft bricking my phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506697

This is the Odin3 log:

After <ID:0/005> SetupConnection., it never goes anywhere. I've let it sit like that for an hour with no results. Unplugging it, as you can imagine, bricks it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
And another update:

After doing some more research I found this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBPu-GqM9RE&feature=player_embedded#!

I have this kernel installed now:

Download SpeedMOD Kernel FOR CAPTIVATE here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=522490&d=1298...

Sadly, cm-10-20121004-NIGHTLY-ville or anything seemingly will run from that update thread.

Can anyone confirm if CyanMod 10 does or doesn't work with this Kernel? Every version I've tried hits "E:signature verification failed"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Flash corn kernel with Odin. It will give you no problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
I'll give that a try, thanks.

Now the interesting part is going to be trying to educe soft bricking. This version of the phone doesn't have the three button download mode combo. I've been getting download mode working by going into Android and using "adb reboot download". Installing the speed kernel earlier gives me solid roming access but the phone now refuses to boot into Gingerbread.

I'm hoping I can get this thing working before my jig comes in the mail :-|
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That's weird, I'm pretty sure that no 3 button is only caused by eclair bootloaders. And keep in mind, if you go to an asop rom, adb reboot download won't work for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
Sadly, I am unfamiliar with this phones history. I got it on eBay and its really intended as a bridge phone until my family switches to a new carrier when our last contract is up, at which case I plan on grabbing the biggest, baddest Android available at that time.

From my research though, some Captivates simply can't go into download mode with the three button combo. If it has something to do with someone doing something to it during the life of the phone, I don't know for sure, but I sure wouldn't put it past that being the case.

Thanks for the warning about ASOPs. I don't plan on putting any of those on, but thats useful to know.

In other news, I found the speed kernel I have on here now does have enough options I think I can successfully use another rom on it other then the one I had on it before installing the new kernel. The guide was done for CM7 and I had tried CM10. I'm trying CM9 to see where that takes me. I might just have to go back to CM7 though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Open Odin on ur pc. Load the .tar version of KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A into the PDA slot (u can find corn kernel in dev forum). Power off phone. Connect micro usb end of cable into phone, Hold volume + & - together and keep holding, Insert usb cable into back port on pc. Phone should boot into Download Mode. Release volume buttons. Odin should recognize ur phone (i.e. Yellow com port). Start Odin. Kernel will get flashed. When Odin says PASS in green, u can remove the micro usb cable from the phone.

U can now reboot ur phone here, or use the options in the cwm recovery to get Root, or flash ur Rom of choice through this cwm recovery.

Fyi...the speedmod kernel was just used to get u cwm, It is not used to boot ur phone.

Happy flashing !! :thumbup:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
All CM and ICS/JB roms on this phone are aosp. AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project, and an AOSP rom means it's built straight from pure, official android source (as opposed to an OEM modified version of Android i.e. TouchWiz, Sense, Motoblur etc.). AOSP is NOT the same thing as AOKP, which stands for Android Open Kang Project (kinda a play on words off of AOSP). AOKP is built from AOSP but it is basically another customized rom like CM.

So on any ICS/JB rom or CM7, you won't be able to get download mode through ADB. Make sure to follow the procedure 4-2ndtwin posted, and also see Captivate connection issues and download mode help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Ummm...Hey OP, ur Post #2....u were trying to flash something meant for the SGS II Skyrocket...so nooo----don't flash that :eek:

:cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LighthammerX:
Thanks. Once again, to reiterate the download procedure setup mode on this phone simply doesn't work. As I noted before, several sources state there is a variant of the Captivate that simply doesn't allow you to get into download mode through the standard procedure. I suppose I got unlucky and have one of those models.

Regarding 4-2ndtwin's last post, I pulled everything I've been using from articles that state specifically its for the Captivate. I don't doubt some where along the line someone either posted a wrong link or some how assumed that it would work on the Captivate. That being said, luckily, that kernel actually gave me access to initiate the download mode (and so does the Corn Kernel I grabbed on korockinout13's advice).

I DO have a working jig now and I have a professional one coming in hopefully Monday. Hopefully until then, I won't have any other problems related to soft brick or the need to get into download mode without initiating it from other means.

As far as everything else goes, it seems like the Corn Kernel has resolved all my issues. I'm in the process of downloading and trying roms finally.

Thanks all greatly for the help. You both were invaluable in giving me some hints that helped me navigate through getting this guy working.

If I have any other problems, I'll repost here.

Thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jo_blow421:
I am ready for an upgrade on Verizon and can't quite make up my mind on what I want. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid 4 and debating between Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, wating for Galaxy Note 2, or waiting for the next Nexus.

I know the Nexus is old news but I love my Nexus 7 and still want something that will have plenty of developer support. On the other hand the screen is a little on the small side and the lack of SD card might be a dealbreaker.

I could always wait for the next Nexus but who knows when that could be and if the LG rumors are true I may not be interested (not a fan).

The Galaxy note sounds great because it's big but is it too big? The extra screen room would always be welcome but I'm not sure if maybe this is too much.

Finally the S3 seems like a great phone and although I'm not a big fan of touchwiz I'm sure using a launcher or a custom rom will be enough to make up for this. I like that the screen isn't a measly 4 inches but at the same time it does feel weird in my hand, it's thin, maybe too thin.

Feel free to suggest any other phones I may be missing out on but they have to have NFC, at LEAST 4.0 in. screen (preferably upwards of 4.5), and if it won't get/doesn't have jellybean plenty of dev support so I can port it onto the device myself.

So... what phone should I get?
