Change of plans, hopefully with the help of anyone who is willing I'd like to compile an aosp build for the Sprint GS2 from source instead of trying to hack a port together, as suggested in this thread and other places, it just feels like it will be a lot more of a fruitful experience for all involved and have a better end result.
(a big thank you to everyone who so far have been super encouraging and friendly with noob questions, it's much appreciated!, I hope that if you wanted to help with the port you'll help with this build as well!)
This is a WIP. Starting out with Samsung's open source platform and kernel instructions on how to build from aosp and I'll take it from there.
I've setup some repos to get this all started in one place:
Samsung SPH-D710 platform source - https://github.com/thefredelement/sph-d710_platform_source
Samsung SPH-D710 kernel source - https://github.com/thefredelement/sph-d710_kernel_source
Team Hacksburg kernel source - https://github.com/thefredelement/android_kernel_samsung_c1spr
Stock kernel initramfs (thanks buddy323!) - https://github.com/thefredelement/stock-initramfs-eg30-epic-4g-touch
https://github.com/thefredelement/Samsung-Galaxy-S2-Sprint-Epic-4G-Touch-AOSP-Build - will be where the build will live after I push over Samsung's platform make and upload it!
--- old stuff that will make your head spin ---
If anyone wants to continue working on this, feel free.
This is my attempt to get get a pure aosp build of android 2.3.5 for the Sprint Galaxy S2. I've never done anything like this before and it's mostly hacked together pieces of two different ROMs. I guess you can call this a "learning" experience.
THIS ROM JUST BOOTS AND NOTHING ELSE REALLY WORKS, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND I POSTED IT HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE CAN HELP, THIS IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN RUN ON MY PHONE, EVERYTHING IS FINE ON MY PHONE AND I CAN RESTORE A NANDROID BACK TO STOCK AND EVERYTHING STILL WORKS FINE BUT I MAKE NO GUARANTEES FOR YOUR PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING I WOULD STOP READING NOW
This rom is based on AdamG's devnull-test aosp rom for the Euro Galaxy S2. (post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183063)
Credit must be given to AdamG for his rom in the first place, bubby323 for his help on IRC and kpkimmel at ACS for the Gerbal V1 beta ROM (post: http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/2734-ROM-Gerbal-v1-beta-ROM) which I used for guidance for the build.prop and updater script.
I am not trying to steal anyone's work or take credit for anything, I really just want a pure AOSP rom for the Sprint GS2 and would love anyone's help as far as guidance, code, a guide I haven't found, anything would be great, thanks.
Known bugs:
- No radios
- No Wifi
- When wifi is on (or trying to turn on) the screen turns on/off as if a process is restarting
- Orientation sensor is out of whack (disable auto rotate so it doesn't drive you crazy)
- Home button & search button do not work
- Something FCs real fast on first boot but android setup starts
- Distortion on the touch screen occasionally
Known positives:
- No real FCs
- I added the Nexus S boot animation
- Calculator, gallery, etc. all work fine
What I've done so far:
Based on buddy323's advice in IRC, I've brought over vendor, firmware, wifi, vold, egl and hw from the Gerbal v1 rom to the devnull rom.
I used the wipe partition section of the Gerbal update script and then the symlinks/permissions from the devnull script (I removed the kernel installation as this rom doesn't come with a kernel). My approach has been to go through as much as I can on devnull and change out anything that's platform specific to the sph-d710.
I'm sure there's a bunch of noob happening in this rom and I'd appreciate it if you can call me out on it and tell me where to look to make it right.
Installation:
Install via clockworkmod, this will wipe /system /data so I'd erase your user data before flashing.
I've been booting this with the stock kernel.
Link: you don't want this...
Reserved for changelog, when hopefully it gets that far
Awesome to see a project like this, good luck in the port!

Constructive criticism would be for me to point out you must not have read the OP because it clearly said nothing works because we don't have a aosp kernel yet but you are just rude.

You are under no obligation to install anything posted on XDA. If it doesn't work, report. If you don't like it, don't use it. Help, don't hinder. If you have nothing to contribute, then sit down, shut up and wait for someone to do it and allow you to participate. It's that simple folks.
Now keep this on topic or infractions and/or mandatory vacations will be handed out.
I would highly recommend you get to grips with the aosp source and learn to build them for the device instead of cobbling a mix of aosp and stock Samsung roms together. You will also need an aosp compatible kernel and stock kernel is not. There is a list of patches to the aosp kernel in the SGS2 section and on team hacksung's github. Good luck.

I recall rumor about samsung sending a GS2 to Cyanogen so that he could "get to work". Guess that never materialized - or they gave him something else to do once they hired him...

it was one of the cyanogen devs that got a galaxy2 & they have nightlies for the gs2 now.... It should not be hard to get it ported over

UPDATE statement.
As original author for this thread, videos and first demos, I'm not currently working on the Gingerbread port these days (heavily busy working on Voodoo sound improvements).
It doesn't mean I lost interest in it, only that I miss time at the moment.
CyanogenMod team work on a serious port of Gingerbread for Galaxy S, witch won't be just a technical demo like the original spirit of this one.
Of course, such goal requires a lot of work, dedication, and also some calm.
There is a lot of natural interest about Gingerbread on Galaxy S, and it's perfectly understandable too.
Giving an ETA until the porting work is done or some major advance is made would be dishonest.
It means that not asking for ETA will be appreciated. However, you're welcome discussing other aspects.
If you want more technical insights and a few updates by most actives developers for this port, i would recommend to follow:

[list needs to be completed, thanks for input]
Thank you!
Original post:
Galaxy S with Nexus S kernel - Booting Nexus S Android Gingerbread
Videos are here:
http://www.youtube.com/supercurioxda
Early demo Releases - V6
Requirements
You must be root on your phone
Your /data must be converted in Ext4 by Voodoo lagfix or another Ext4 lagfix.
Verizon Fascinates are not yet supported - Epic4G will require a lot more development.
You must have proceed to complete backups before
Some busybox installation is also useful for tar.
Another Important note
Be sure you have access to the download mode using the 3 buttons combination.
If you don't, it will be extremely difficult (even if in theory not impossible) to to flash another kernel back.
Steps:
1/ Download this system dump on your sdcard:
system dump archive
2/ Run these commands
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data
mkdir gingerbread
cd gingerbread
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/system-dump-as-root.tar.gz
busybox cp -a /efs efs
sync
reboot download
3/ unzip the attached nsonsgs.tar.zip to nsonsgs.tar
4/ flash the kernel with Odin or Heimdall - no pit - no re-partition
Watch Gingerbread boot on your phone !
How do I get back?
Everything is still in place on your phone - no harm done.
All you need to do is to flash your preferred custom (that support Ext4 obviously) Kernel back on your phone
What's about this port:
- It uses the Nexus S kernel compiled from sources
- It runs the exact /system image release, we dumped on IRC from an actual Nexus S device.
Am i French ?
Now you don't have any doubt anymore
Which filesystem ?
This early preview runs on Ext4. no RFS at all, the kernel don't support RFS.
Does everything work ?
Nope, but there are progresses.
Don't work: GPS / Voice / camera
Work: everything else: like sound, GL acceleration etc
Will it work ?
I think most of it will work after countless hours spent on it.
Is it flashable with Odin ?
Won't be so easy, but it's one of the goals
Do you work alone ?
Credits go the IRC channel #NSdev on freenode, and now a team formed regrouping most Captivate/Vibrant/Fascinate/I9000 developers and CyanogenMod team, with Kernel and ROM developers and also newcomers.
When will this/that work ?
The only honest answer is: there is no answer.
Please don't ask for ETA, don't pressure developers, they need peace of mind
Is this Open Source ?
Everything is fully published under an open source license
Latest initramfs: https://github.com/project-voodoo/nsonsgs-initramfs
Kernels: https://github.com/galaxys-kernel
Who are the actual contributors to the code?
For the kernel, you can follow works here : who / when.

As it is a team work, sometimes it's not the guy who had the idea who commits the code, but still

http://briefmobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s-android-2-3-gingerbread
And a lot of other ones now!
Versions:
V6
- Easy root. You only need to install Superuser app from Market.
Downloads :
Kernel you can flash with Odin / heimdall / kernel flashing apps
ClockWorkMod unsigned update.zip
V5
- Wifi semi-working (tend to crash the phone on Wifi sleep timeout)
- Calls working but no DATA for me (coolya had data, which means: erratic) - voice not tested.
- kind of laggy, but there is a lot of headroom.
- GPS working only by Wifi/Triangulation networking - No satellites.
Fantastic job by coolya who did most of the advancement, for Wifi, baseband and also OneDRAM partitions configuration. Really really awesome work.
We were so lucky the snow forced him to stay at home instead of going to work
This time you can really start to play with the phone, install apps, surf on the Internet all this with Gingerbread! kind of cool
V4
Buttons fixed thanks to the contributions of xcaliburhands, pawitp, fenfir
No need to create some directories manually anymore.
Kernel available as ClockWorkMod recovery update.zip - be sure you have access to 3 buttons !
V3
SDcard now works
- As internal storage
- As USB storage
V2
improved pre-init script and mounts:
no more insufficient space
improved dual-boot solution
faster boot
faster disk I/O
V1
initial
Edit: we started working now as a team, joining XDA forces with CyanogenMod.
Gingerbread CM is AOSP, which means the port will be the real Google experience, using clean source modified just as we need to.
Holy moly..... I can't wait! Thanks Curio (and any other devs)!
I wonder how fast this ROM will be! 2.2.1 is smooth as butter as it is!
That was quick! I saw the title before saw who posted I thought it was just going to to someone asking for eta's... Nice work!
LOL are u serious? Doc was trying to run it the other day but couldn get pass the boot screen haha
Let's wait patiently for the port, and let the dev do his work.

PMDROID AOSP Gingerbread ROM100% AOSP Android Gingerbread Build from Source.
Be sure that you're based on a Froyo FW! CRUCIAL.
2 Sdcards Mount on PC, new Kernel and Prerooted
Version 0.2 New Fixes
Version 0.1 Initial Release
What's working:
MTD
Radio
Audio
GPS
Wifi
Bluetooth
3D
HQ Video PLayback
internal SD-Card
external SD-Card
Most Sensors
What's not working:
Polling problem on RIL (works after lock and unlock)
Compass (works not at 100%)
USB sharing of external SD-Card
commands: reboot recovery, reboot download (maybe not possible to implement)
FM-Radio
TV-Out
The same Like Cyanogenmod
1: Load these files:
2: Copy all files except:
speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
3: Flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar via Odin, wait for reboot and after that shutdown
4: Start via 3-button-combo in recovery mode and install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5: Pull out battery and in again, start via 3-button-combo via download mode and flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar via Odin BUT DON'T check repartition and auto reboot
6: Pull out the USB cable and start (in download mode) with 3-button-combo in recovery mode (waiting until samsung logo appears)
7: Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
8: Flash PMDroid AOSP Gingerbread.
not to be an ass but maybe you should give credits to some people and upload your code to a github etc. rep since you are most likely using code of the cm7 project and google.
thx for your work gonna try it
it sounds so well men, great work!

This seems like a project heavily based off the work of the CM7 team and other kernel devs, only without the inherent benefits of CyanogenMod and the work the experienced developers have put into it. Exactly what is the benefit of this project?
Am I right in thinking you could take any nexus s rom and just slap this or bilboas kernel on it?

Some people consider cm to be bloated as it comes with excessive features not required by some users.
Bloat == less responsive. So w/e there's cm builds, u'll see aosp builds.
Why ? One simple reason, u get stock and nothing but stock.

To be honest I don't think there is any measurable difference in performance between CM and AOSP on a device like the Galaxy S...IMO the features outweigh any preconceived ideas about slower performance that aren't really based reality. But if it's all about the clean AOSP "feeling" then go right ahead.

Yup i completely agree, especially on these high end devices.
This idea of having aosp clean builds originated however from previous generation devices such as g1,magic...etc where aosp builds seemed to be preferred by a lot.

My brother uses a G1 and on their it's clear that in order for Froyo or Gingerbread to be usable it needs to be as light as possible. But this primarily pertains to memory usage...CM6/7 is pretty smooth, just apps don't stay open.
On Galaxy S I don't really think pure AOSP has any tangible benefits over CM7 which is quite obviously based on AOSP. For instance, MIUI, while it should feel more "bloated," feels 100% the same performance wise as CM7 which is great (they share kernel etc. so that makes sense)
Hey Guys,
I installed this on my cappy cause I wanted less bloat. Change the lib files for auto-rotation and flashed bilboas kernel. Working fine. Issue is this dosen't have root. How would I go about doing that? I tried super one click, but it freezes the app. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you done any reading? This project is entirely dependent on the work that codeworkx and the CM7 team has been doing. This project won't "overtake it"; I doubt this dev (no offense to OP) has anywhere near the experience or technical ability to troubleshoot problems with AOSP on Galaxy S like codeworkx, dumdidum, et all have been doing for months.
Battery drain on CM7 (and other ROMs that utilize its work like MIUI) is worse than Samsung based ROMs, sure. But it's not "crazy" at all and for my usage patterns isn't even a problem...I charge every night anyway. To me it's either one full day, or two full days, not in between. I've never had a ROM last me through two full days, therefore, I need to charge every night and it doesn't matter if I have 20% or 40% left.

Hi everybody,
I have made a free application to install any kernel on your SGS very easily.
The idea is that there is a website where kernel are uploaded with a script and an application to:
- search
- download
- install it on your phone.
The application and the website are not limited to install kernell but I think it is a good way to try it.It can execute any script in the android shell.
So I have made some script for some kernel, there are so much that I have not the time to make one for each of them.
To make a script is very easy, I have attached an example of one I have uploaded on the website. If you need to attach a file, put it in a zip and upload both (the script and the zip) through the upload form on the website,
The address of the website is:
http://www.2borange.com/
A general thread on XDA (not dedicated to kernel on SGS) about the application:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14875954#post14875954
You need to create an account to upload but it is not mandatory to just search, download and install a kernel.
Please keep me informed if everything work or not. I have only test it on my phone.
For the author of the kernels: I am sorry to have not yet informed you of the sharing of your great work, I will do it for sure when I will have done enough test to offer you an interesting way to share your work.
For the user: if you have time, don't hesitate to upload some scripts, it is free and easy to do...
Thank you for everything,
Michael

This allows you to actually find a kernel, download it and flash it as well. The Kernel Flasher is just for kernels already on your sd card.

Thank you for your message.
I did not know about this application. I have read the description and I can tell you the purpose of mine is totally different.
I have understood that Nedar application is to install a Kernel that you have already downloaded and copy on your SDCARD.
The purpose of my application is to download automatically a script and a zip file, and execute the script.
So there are 2 main differences between these two applications:
- my application get files you need directly from the cloud (Internet), so it is like a deposit of files
- my application is not limited to kernel installation, it is just a usefull example to show people how it works, but it can do more, really lot more tasks.
However, because the application of Nedar is dedicated to one particular task, it has option I have not yet implemented in mine. By example, I have not yet construct a script to backup the kernel in an update.zip file, which could be very usefull.
So they are really very different. I hope I will be able to construct more script, but may be the biggest difference with any dedicated application is that anyone can participate to my project without any knowledge in Java programation.
You just have to know a little bit about shell to be able to share your work with others.
THAT IS THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS APPLICATION : SHARING!
Amazing concept!
Thumbs up for the foresight for such a nice project. If enough effort is put I can see in next couple of months, the whole, ROM, Kernel, Modem flashing automated.
Right from finding the correct software till installing them and may be some debugging and fault finding as well!
Will definitely donate in case the project takes off the way it should!
Great work Snoopy!
Loving the concept of this!
As omzworld was saying, if this grew into a script that could automatically install your ROM/kernel/modem etc. that would be awesome, especially for people who are new to flashing.
Now, here's another suggestion that may or may not have been thought about already..
Is there any way to make the app look at your phone and use that as a basis for roms, kernels etc. ? If that was possible, anyone and everyone would be using your app to flash because they would know that bricking their phones would be almost impossible.

Thank you for your interest.
The thing I need now is not money, donation,etc... but report of test and ideas of improvment.
By the way, I only have a samsung phone, and I am wondering if there are possibilities to install kernel in other phone only by using the shell, have you an idea ?
Second question: have you an idea how to proceed to install an entire ROM through the shell ? I suppose the phone has to be rebooted before installation begin and lauche in a recovery mode, but how to make it automatic like in ROM Manager?
Thank you for your help!

I have already included a kind of filter based on brand, model of phone and firmware version plus sdk version, do you think it could be more precise?
Fixed script on server, should work on every phone now
Hey snoopy33, why do you have not yet updated this page?
Code:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.

** If one of this builds bricks your phone, kills your cat or causes

** You decided to make this modifications to your Phone.
**
** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues
** you may encounter while running one of these builds.

** Submitting bug reports on experimental builds is the leading
** cause of male impotence.
Hey all, you may remember me from back on the cdma hero. Well, I decided to pick up dev'ing again, and have been pushing source up to my github for working code for ice cream sandwich on our Epic 4G touches. It's my pleasure to say it's mostly functional, with just a few bugs remaining, of which i'll post at the end of my thread here. If I didn't list some functionality you're looking for in the bugs list, either it already works, or i forgot about it. Chances are high that it already works, though . Once I get nightlies to run, i'll make another thread for that.
Please, follow the instructions listed below for flashing, to prevent any damage to your phone
Follow me on twitter and github for updates, and what's going on right as it happens.
I think i already mentioned this once, but please, follow the instructions below when flashing this rom, for your phone's sake!
Here is my build from 03-15-12
And a mirror
MD5 checksum: 3ca7871541bf1fb5ecba70fd9661baef
Google Apps: HERE
Kernel: FC14
Recovery: Stock
What works
- GPS
- Camera
- SMS/MMS
- YouTube
- External SD mounted to /emmc
- Pretty much everything else
Bugs
- apps2sd doesn't work for EXTERNAL SD... unless you unmount the internal storage
- Video recording doesn't decode the files properly to mp4, so the output is unusable
- Music occasionally FCs. Feel free to post some logcats (pastebin'd only) if this happens to you
Once again, follow the instructions below, for flashing this ROM!!!
Installation Instructions
*WARNING* There have been a number of people over the past 6 weeks experiencing HARD BRICKS of their E4GT when flashing ICS from ROGUE 1.2.1 on FB15 AND NEWER KERNELS. Please see THIS THREAD for more information. As such, I am STRONGLY recommending that ALL FLASHING of this ROM be done ONLY from the STOCK CWM EL26 RECOVERY (download) EDIT: As an update to this, we're fairly certain this issue is sporadically occurring whenever a partition is being formatted by the recovery. this led us to believe that the problem lies in the kernel samsung has been putting out in the leaks. Please, for your sake, use, a recovery with a gingerbread kernel when flashing this rom, or doing nandroids, or even doing data or cache wipes.
First install of CM9
BACKUP your existing ROM
Did you backup your existing ROM? No? BACK IT UP, GENIUS
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
WIPE DATA
Flash CM9
Flash GAPPS
Reboot to system
After rebooting, if you go BACK to recovery, you'll be on Rogue 1.2.2
Upgrading CM9
This build will upgrade from any CyanogenMod rom just fine. Just, be sure you're using the EL26-CWM recovery when flashing this rom. read my Edit up above for further details.
Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode (power+vol-down)
Using ODIN (link) flash to StockCWM EL26. Flashing CM9 from another recovery, such as Rogue, MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Reboot to recovery (power+vol-up)
Flash CM9
The newest update changes the way backuptools work for the install script. it reads custom user scripts in /system/add.d. Since the first rom i put out didn't have that, you'll need to reflash google apps after flashing cyanogenmod. after flashing this latest update, subsequent updates won't need you to reflash Google Apps
Wipe cache
Reboot to system
Here's a README in my github, that has thanks and whatever comes with a README
Enjoy!
EDIT: I updated the OP with the link to the rom. This is using some better coding for mms and sms receiving, and the LOS bug was fixed by the epiccm group, and pushed to mainstream cyanogenmod, so we we're benefiting from this. also, added in were sprint visual voicemail and sprint updates. There's surely other stuff i'm missing to add to what's working and what's not . Note that Cyanogenmod doesn't normally use stock kernel, rather it uses cm-kernel. the issue is that we don't have source for the kernel in ics, so we can't merge our board-files, etc into it just yet. But this isn't an issue, as far as functionality. It's just not the full CyanogenMod experience .
EDIT2: I had jerdog change the thread title to unofficial, because we aren't really in CM just yet. It's more because of my discrepancy, with not wanting the device tree to be pulled, because i'm still doing work on it.
EDIT3: Guys, don't be flashing any themes over this rom, reason being because i changed the framework files a bit in my source, and it hasn't been pulled into mainstream cyanogenmod yet.
EDIT4: Hey, i updated the OP with the build from yesterday, that i built. wasn't really planning on giving it out, but it appears that everyone is already using it, so might as well post the link in the OP. Please, don't ask what's changed, because not much has really changed: for this i wasn't planning on posting it... but oh well, it's out . Enjoy
Unacceptable
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity that permeates throughout the Android related forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
As moderators, we spend more time cleaning up flame & troll posts than working on our own community contributions. Unfounded accusations such as KANG'ing serve to drive away those valued members who try to contribute to XDA ... further lowering the quality of threads and posts on this forum.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. I would have expected more maturity and professionalism. Instead, I find a thread full of inflammatory posts ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
While the Forum Moderator(s) take time from their busy schedule to effect cleanup and "damage control"; further detracting of this thread once it is re-opened will result in permanent holidays for those involved, rest assured that appeals will be non-negotiable. I would encourage members who have posted in this thread to reacquaint themselves with the forum rules - the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!
To make sure this is clear from the beginning, and since I had to close the previous thread due to trolling and abuse, there is no kanging go on.
sbrissen and darchstar are and have been collaborating for awhile on this, helping each other out in the true spirit of the community. This thread will remain closed until darchstar is ready to have it opened.

https://twitter.com/#!/darchstar/status/178170605747716096
If you look at the github and commit log you'll see the collaboration going on between the two. darchstar is publishing the builds per an agreement between the two. This is open source and community involvement at it's finest.
Any trolling will not be tolerated.
Just took the plunge and flashed.... No problems with the flash and loving the rom.

cool, did you happen to see my post/everyone else commenting about the volume issue of playing music & receiving a notification of sorts (sms etc) where the volume gets really low until you toggle the levels
it's so easy to duplicate & i've tried looking through logcats but can't find anything particular. should i still pastebin something for you?

Good job Team, so far so good.. gonna test this out so more..
Thanks so much, been running great, and I could not be happier having darch, sbrissen, steady, and all the other greats on our team working together! Thanks again guys.
I'm not sure if this is a CM9 issue or a xda app issue but I just now noticed it with CM9 (since it's worked in the past with AOKP/Samsung leaks) Taking a screenshot and trying to upload it to any thread the app gives/says that the file is not a valid format. However I can upload it via the web without issues.

meh that's lame. Oh well guess it's time for a bug report to xda for the app then
everything for me is working decently well using it as daily so i love it
only issue that irks me is the very weak signal
Love it! Better than any Sammy ics leak, and prefer it over anything official even!? Everything looks great and is smooth. Unable to install sprint NBA mobile though as unable to install on any storage seems like. Also, mms is funky sometimes. Have to toggle 4g to fix.
Anybody notice super heavy battery drain between 14%-4%?

Extract the build.prop. It will tell you cause I really don't know lol. All I really know is I added the LS970 dependencies to my repo, did the UnityKernel mod and built it. So you tell me cause I'm not at my PC

I am fairly certain it will run, but you might not have access to SD card or camera. If not, find out if there is a GEE/b kernel you can flash afterwards or if the OP can create a GEE/b kernel since it looks like it has a new kernel, aside from any other currently available. I know I've never seen UnityMod kernel anywhere.
To the OP, if you ask any of the other kernel devs what changes they made to produce a Gee/b kernel of the same settings I am sure they would provide some advice.
EDIT: some changes may be necessary in the build.prop as well to allow access to GSM.
EDIT: Don't really want to be part of this thread anymore and I haven't said anything useful
Ok. I am the OP BTW. Founder/Creator.
The UnityKernel cannot be found. It's the major unique feature of UnityROM-2. How it is done is quite simple. To me. But I remember when I had this phone. How badly it needs a good stable ROM. Just like jewel did till I did this.
So trying to do y'all a favor lol. The best ROM for Evo LTE now coming to the next Sprint "Problem Device".

I saw you were the OP, that's why I quoted you too LOL. No worries. Thank you for building this ROM. I haven't tested it yet because I am working on getting the G3 port to work on our Sprint OG. But I am happy to check it out. I just wanted to let you know that you can build the geeb kernel too. I don't think it takes much, I think only adding or switching a branch for your build.
Also, if you created this ROM and built from sources, you might want to think about having this thread moved to Original Development instead of Development. This one is more for ports and changes to an existing rom in order for it to work on our phone. The new Roms and creations should go in the Original Development.

You did a great job, it works fine. I think you should continue to work on perfection of Rom. As far as I understand, you need to go to another forum thread(Optimus G Original Android Development). When using the camera - got two crashes . everything else works perfectly, quickly and smoothly! Antutu received 20673 balls without my optimization. Thank you for a wonderful job. I know little about it, but it seems to me that all is well. This gproj or aosp based? You use the new driver for the camera? Excuse me for my english.
Well thanks for the feedback. I'll run 2.7.0 for LS970 now. Tons of new things added for the build and kernel

Well if I knew what I need for geeb I would gladly make it for you guys. I just grabbed the stuff listed in CMs LS970 device cm.dependencies file.
I can always add more or a new defconfig file to have it look at while building. Either way will work

Looks like you're flashing for the wrong device, or wrong recovery.
