whats the best kernel to use for trying to port jelly bean??? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

im trying to port cm10/jelly bean but have had no luck. i got it to boot but it gets to the launcher and reboots im using the kernel from cm9 alpha6 any ideas/input on kernel that would be better to use or what i may be doing wrong ive never ported anything to the epic touch but i assume its not much different than motorola photon any help would be great thanks in advance

You might want to pm agat63 or chris41g as they have been all over kernel development around here lately and would probably be best equipped to give you an answer... or get at mijjahz or bigtoysrock as team noc has been working on a jb port as well

I hope this doesn't read wrong, if it does I apologize. The only option I know of right now is mijjahs as his team is working on jb port right now. But if there kernel isn't compatible with cm10 you have no options. Porting a ROM, especially one of a different OS version requires extensive development because you are taking a ROM from another phone and trying to get it working on our phone. Here is the part that I hope doesn't come across wrong. If you are capable of doing that I would expect that you know exactly what you need to get a working kernel done. Which begs the question, are you actually developing a cm10 port for our phones or are you just trying to install a cm10 build from somewhere else? Again please don't take that wrong. I am just trying to figure out what you are doing because if you are just trying to install one don't. You will likely permanently brick your phone. But if you are actually developing a cm10 build for us great! Start with mijjahs.

This is indeed good news! Here is the link to the Mirror Network, I have bookmarked it and will keep monitoring it! CM9_Mirrors-No_SGH-T989_Yet
Those look like alll devices with current stable cm7 support
so is this to say we have ics or not? because if we dont then the world knows we've been waiting on it hence thread is taking up space. not tryna be rude but really look back and see all the ics threads and you'll understand

CM9 will most likely come once ICS OTA update is released for the T989.

In most cases this is right but doesn't necessarily need to happen. Look at the g2x..... They will most likely never get ics from lg and cm arcee compiled a just about stable ics rom that is beautiful and works great. And thats with tegra being closed source to so drivers had to be a pain also. So we could see nightlys soon who knows we have no clue they could come out this week for all we know
I am sitting with a Skyrocket CM7 rom that isn't quite finished and isn't ever going to be finished just because I can't stand anything but...
CM9 will come...its only a matter of time, many talented people are working on ICS.

Yeah, I doubt that CM7 will ever be released in more than alpha. The CM team decided to go straight to CM9 with this device which means they will not do CM7 and it doesnt seem like anyone outside of CM team would bother since nobody has up til now and I am pretty sure the chances of a proper CM7 build will only go down when CM9 is released. All you can do is hold tight.
Ya this was pretty cruel. Thought it was gonna say it was up and running ugh.

Rom Manager

Does Rom Manager work on the Captivate Glide? I'd try it myself, but in the past, even though I could pick Motorola Milestone from within the app, it screwed up my Milestone and i was left without a working recovery image, so I thought I'd see if XDA had any experience here.

If you look at my signature you can see what I am using. [CWMR ZIP]I927UCLG9 Stock ICS With the keyboard fix and tethering fix and I removed bloat via TB. But there are many out there that I am sure work really well. I hear that "[ROM] [UCL9] LiteROM 0.4 - Slim - Smooth - Stable" from ThegreaterGood is very popular. I just have not tried it yet. I am holding out for a beta of CM9.

Samsung Source + Jelly Bean Source = E4GT 4.1 Roms?

Sorry if this is a retarded question, but since Samsung dropped the 4.0 source for our phone, and JB 4.1 source code was released, does this mean that people can start compiling fully functional Jelly Bean roms for the epic 4g touch?
If so, is anyone working on one?
You've got it wrong. The samsung source that was released is ICS kernel source. That doesn't really mean much for jelly bean.
There is work being done to try to port it nonetheless.

I thought that you can run roms on older kernels...for example, CM9 is currently running on a GB kernel. Since 4.0 and 4.1 don't have as big of a coding jump, couldn't you run 4.1 on a 4.0 kernel?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
the first couple of ICS ALPHA builds i think was running a hacked together GB kernel, then when the first leaks of ICS drop for our phones thats when the devs started using the pre build kernels that came in the leak ROMs. ICS and JB still uses a 3.0 kernel so from the source that was release devs can make JB ROMs for our phone from it, thats what CM devs have been doing to get preview builds of JB/CM10 on some phones. anyone can correct me if am wrong because am still learning about these stuff lol....but i think thats it.
well team hacksung just released a preview of JB for the international gs2. So that means that they are making progress on it and it must'nt be all that much of a change from cm9 to cm10. as JB has been out for what, almost a month now. and some people are getting cm10 previews, alphas and betas. so it must not be that big of a change in kernels. Of course i could be completely wrong in all of this, just IMO. well probably have cm10 sooner than we all think. our devs are awesome.

+1 Well there is a difference of radios but I also dont understand how minor differences can make it so difficult to port from. You would think with the exception of radios & different key mapping that the architecture of both phones are exact, but then again I'm not a dev so there's probably some factor in there I'm missing.

The screen size is a minor difference. But, cdma and GSM radio is the big issue when it comes to porting anything from the international to us. At least that's the impression I get from the many threads I read.

Ive been wrong before. i was wrong 3 times before lunch. im just speculating. whenever we get it is good for me. its ready when its ready.
Lets not forget half of our AOSP Developers do not even have this phone or acquired/reacquired the phone after the fact and do not have service on the device. Darchstar is no longer with Sprint and bought another E4GT with donations. Chris41G does not have the phone at all apparently.

Stand by...I may try building a kernel from this. As it will be my first "real" attempt at building something (other than the "my first app" tutorial for eclipse), don't hold your breath.

A flashable kernel is the goal.:fingers-crossed:
So bry are you just going to rebuild the kernel for flashable or you're going to mod it on the way there?
(i think its the first one but you devs are deities)
I also wonder on which rom we could try this on.. im thinking IC Tazz instead of Viper since its more stripped down and its Rosie is more lightweight.

FML...ubuntu decided to not boot anymore and I needed to uninstall...
Stand by while I install it again...
Update: yeah....clicked the wrong button late last night while re-installing and reformatted my hard-drive...lost everything. Good thing I keep an external backup fairly frequently. Reinstalling windows at the moment and trying to see if a factory reset will bring my laptop back to a healthy state - then will install ubuntu on that and try again. I am guessing a few days out I should have something.
Started the build....but getting a couple of errors. I think my toolchain is messed up. Tackle it again tomorrow.

Guide to help fix our jb modem on aosp roms

Here's what a dev told me to do. But I have no idea how to do it.
Hope this can help a dev here.
didhiy QUOTE=Jshugzda]Hey buddy its been awhile how have you been? I need some help from you I have moved on to the epic touch and was wondering if u could try and help us get our jb modems to work on aosp roms or maybe use another modem from another phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium[/QUOTE]
I know nothing about epic touch, but I have some idea about modem problem.
1. Compare the stock kernel source between ics and jb to see any changes in samsung modemctl.
2. Use same ril blobs (rild, gpsd, libril etc) with the modem version.
And just a possibility to update modem from cwm, from nexus s patch
https://github.com/didhiy/android_k...mmit/43f48527a0a9c1708b2804efbfffc00dcc1aac33
maybe try to find something like that in toroplus kernel source[/QUOTE]

Bumping this to see if a dev can either rule it out our run with it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Based on who is left working on the Epic 4g Touch, and their current projects that I am aware of, I'm going to take a leap and say nobody is likely to do this. Even when the developers who have moved on were around this device, I don't know of anyone thinking this would be a good way to spend some time. "Just sayin..." keep using the modems that work with AOSP. Cheers.
