If it is properly ported...yes but you just can't flash a zip from the vibrant forums there are still major differences in the phones..from a developing point of view.
So long story short NO!

I see... is it hard to port roms? And i know you cant just flash one cause i did it just to see what would happen and all it did was bootloop lol..no biggie though..i always see people asking to port...i wanna learn lol

When can we Epic users get gingerbread update?

whatever Samsung and Sprint's decisions are, I want have my Epic run gingerbread. Is there any signal when can we get it ?

You already have it. It's in the development section. It may not be final, but it's Gingerbread alright.
Well,I tried that. But it has many bugs. One most terrible is that it produces too much heat,feeling like my device is burning. I hope you developers fix these bugs soon.Thanks.

Not to sound rude, but you should already know better if you claim to be a flash freak. The devs are still working hard to bring us some custom roms and kernels. Remember this phone recently came out so we're not expected to have a million roms just yet. Good luck with your flashing.

Sense for et4g

So whats everyones opinion for sense 4.0 on epic 4g touch want some opinions
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It would be neat, but the community was already fooled by someone who promised this once already and I would imagine no one will donate for this to happen until after it actually happens.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Lol i said nothing about donating lol thats not my style iv already ported to nexus shouldnt be too hard
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you can do it that would be great. I only mentioned the donations because a certain someone asked the community to help buy him an E4GT to bring us sense and it never happened.

The other person said the same thing.You must've ported your build for yourself since you only have a few posts as well as a junior member.Why not share with the rest of the community.I'm not trying to be negative only pointing out the obvious.Good luck with your project.
Well on nexus i just got it to boot....
Then switched to other device so i didnt maintain it

Reading your post about porting it,it sounded as if you had a fully functioning build.Good luck with it,it'll be nice to have more development for this phone...what nexus device was it for,gnex or nexus s?
Ns and it wasnt fully functional it had 4g and bluetooth borked

The fact you just joined the site looks fishy (No offense, I'm just a paranoid person). At least you aren't asking for donations. If you can do it, do it. if you can't, oh well. I will say this though, you have better luck trying to port sense 2.1, 3.x... It has been confirmed that sense 4.x does not play well with samsung devices and many other devices as it is in this current state.
My personal opinion is; It'd be nice to have more options on this device because the reality is, this device is fast, fluid, and has a lot of possibilities! I feel as if I should have gotten a nexus device sometimes but sprint always fails to get the latest nexus devices by months...

Cant you just continue the work alrready started with the port? The "person who shall not be named" got it to boot but a lot of things were borked. Couldnt u just use the kernel from the zip?

[Q] WebOS on the Galaxy S2?

Is it do-able? I know that things like the GNex, and an evo have gotten some of the open source versions of it, so why not us? How hard could it be?

Well, it all comes down to the willingness of a developer if he/she wants to port it or not. If you question the availability of porting webos, then you try porting it then.
Another option would be good, but at this point, why? With ics stable and jb stable around the corner, it really doesnt make sense for a dev to port it. Webos lacks alot compared to android.

The developers always love challenges. They might port it if it is interesting enough. I think the matter is whether we have the good enough developers, who use S2.

I think our developers are good enough to do it its just we don't have a lot of them compared to other phones. The more there are the better the odds are of something like that happening.. We are still better off than other phone models!

This galaxy is probably the least popular of the galaxy s2's so yeah the odds are against us.

We only have few active developers. Some also have left oir community. So, i guess we should enjoy JB instead of dreaming about webOS.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Just for **** and giggles, if you go to the sr forum and flash the aromakang you have an option for sense 4 two and webos. Just a lil FYI. Does not need any rotation fix or anything like that.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Wait, that's a theme or real webos?

I know its an option but I do believe its a theme. Never used it.

I been looking online for a webos launcher or a good theme thats not for cm9. But no luck, also there is a webos theme for gb miui not miuiv4 for some reasons gb miui themes are not compatible with miui v4. sure wish there could be a easy way of converting gb themes work on ics miui rom. Seems like Gb was more popular on themes than ics
I've been doing some looking... it honestly doesn't look so difficult.

Since all major carriOrson have this phone and sprint seems to be the smallest...

Is the sprint boards the best place to creep? Seems like all the boards could be converged.

Not true. I've done it several times and obviously still have a working phone. Flashing roms from the i9300 will definitely brick your phone though. I don't recommend doing it (even though I have) because of the risk but I'm fully aware and cautious. Flashing radios meant for another device is a definite no no
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
True true...but still think having 3 separate boards needs to be looked at again. Maybe the different carriers could have their own subsection for Roms and what not.

They tried that already. It became a MECCA for "my carrier is better than yours" flame wars.

That and the massive levels of requests for devs to port roms and then they get flamed for not wanting to support 4 different rom threads.

Haha I wondered why they nixed that.
I liked the idea of combining them all. But seperatimg development. Would have a lot less of the same stupid question being asked 1000 times a week I bet.
And ya nothing wrong with flashing another us sgs3 rom just no modems. Kinda like running tmo ROMs n having the fukd up screen rotation lol

The screen rotation is fixed by flashing a cm10 based kernel after you've flashed the ROM and gapps and let it boot
