I'm curious if it's at all possible to port a Gingerbread rom to the Galaxy Nexus. I really miss MIUI since buying the SGN to replace my HTC Desire HD. MIUI 4.0 hasn't really matured yet so I'm investigating if it's possible to port a MIUI 2.3.7 rom to the SGN.
There are no kernels available for the SGN to use with Gingerbread. Can I use a kernel for an other device that is similar to the SGN?
if so...
I'm new to rom cooking (although I've used plenty of custom roms). Can anyone tell me which device for which a official MIUI rom is available matches the SGN best?
Does anyone know a good starters guide for porting a rom?
Forgive me my possibly stupid questions. I'm new to this and I'm eager to learn.
Why would you want to do this? Your Rom will probably be as unstable as the ICS one
There is little interest in backporting old OS versions to newer phones. The only way is forward.

just wondering if there are any GS2 roms out for the G2 and if not does anyone know if its currently in development.....not a big sense fan and i want to try something else since im getting use to CM7....thanks
Did you search or use this crazy new thing called google?
No I doubt you will get a touchwiz rom here. Try miui maybe. The bulletproof version is good stuff.

You won't get a TouchWiz ROM on the DZ/G2. Your only shot is porting yourself somehow.
There are many non-sense ROMs available for this device. There are pure AOSP builds, CM7, and MIUI.
So, I've been looking to find a stable ICS mod. I know cm has 9 out, and yes I am new to rooting/flashin, etc, I was just wondering if cm9 is available for the T989. I noticed its for all the other galaxy S2 phones. But when I search T989 or Hercules it comes up with all the other galaxy s2's. I don't want to start something, and Brick my phone.
If no CM9 yet, what are other good ICS roms if any? Or roms in general? for the t989.

There are no ICS ROMs for our phone yet. xboarder56 is working on it for the Skyrocket (same as our phone), but it's fairly alpha as it is.

yeah the other galaxy's..ies? run the exynos processor so they're almost interchangeable in terms or drivers and stuff.
ours and the skyrocket are the snapdragons.... so expect ours to be out... summer im thinking?
The real reason the others have ICS roms is because Samsung has leaked pretty consistently to them. Its a lot easier to make cake if all you have to do is frost it.
Roms?
Where can I get a compatible cm7 Rom for the t989? I tried flashing cm7 and it was giving me a verification error?
hey guys,
my ORD fueled mind just wanted to know if anyone out there is working on an AOSP
Rom, maybe an AOKP or CM9 kang.
i think i speak on almost everyones behalf when i say work on these will be highly appreciated and donated to

If you want AOSP then get a Galaxy Nexus. The best thing about this phone is Sense 4.0

In your (and my) opinion but not in everyone's... some people love the iconic design but would like to see it house ICS as google intended it. I hope we see a pure ASOP rom.
abhijit1289 I would say its almost guaranteed that some one will release an ASOP / CM9 rom for this device it will just take longer than Sense rom's due to drivers etc

NOT!
i hoped for sense to be better now, but i still don't like it.
i hope there will be cm9 soon, or i die
and no, i don't like the galaxy nexus. i want this phone. this phone on a AOSP ROM! x)

That isn't correct. I would also like a AOSP rom but I wouldn't buy the Galaxy Nexus because of it's already outdated.
I see no reason why Sense 4.0 would prevent AOSP roms.

We should set a bounty that way whoever is going to port it will get motivated..I guess I'm 1st $25
I've had my sprint gnex for about a week now. maybe two weeks, I forget. Anyway, 4.0.4 ICS is mind-blowing compared to 2.3.5 that I had on my rooted S-on Evo 4g (I did de-bloat the stock rom). The fact that it's not a Sense or TouchWiz rom is the best part of all, and really I find that I have no desired functionality that would require rooting or flashing of any kind. However... a lot of the additions in JB look really awesome and I'd like to check into those at some point in the near future. I'm comfortable with the idea of rooting and flashing. After I rooted my Evo I may have actually laughed out loud for being as paranoid and anxious as I was.
Here's my concern: after trudging through the sprint gnex dev forum, there's a lot of roms and kernels available. At this point I'm not so concerned with a kernel, but I'd like some help narrowing down the options to one or maybe two roms to get started with. Basically I'm looking for one that's as close to what Google would give me if they were releasing to sprint devices. I would also be cool with one that's as close to what sprint might release in an official OTA.
I was never crazy about trying CM roms (or other AOSP based ones for that matter) on the Evo just because I wasn't crazy about having to flash back and forth between stock roms for PRLs and profiles. I'm not sure how often that would really have to be done, but I won't consider that a deal breaker if it gets me into an ideal rom.

MMuzzy's AOSP is as close to OTA stock as you'll find. In both form and build quality.
Like the above, CM10 is as stock as you'll find. There are other very close to stock with internal performance tuning.

For a standard custom experience. Go CM.
I suggest Eclipse or Paradigm for beyond.

I don't know about other jb ROMs, but unlike cm7 on the evo (which i used to have as well) cm10 allows you to do prl and profile updates in the about phone menu.

paranoidandroid with trinity kernel...
If you want stock the best one is RUJellin by shabbypenguin and dreamsforgott3n. They had it ported and running without problems less than24 hours after source. Plus they're super cool and the thread is pretty chill.
CM10 for sure. Stock cm kernel. Its the most polished looking room for xure

Ok, definitely seeing a lot of love for CM so I'll be researching that one for sure. If that doesn't pique my interest I'll start checking out some of the other ones mentioned as well. You can probably expect a few more questions in this thread before I actually dive into anything, though

I prefer AOKP to CM, but the last few AOKP builds have been horrible on battery and in terms of someone wanting a custom experience and not really knowing what they want, I point them to CM.
paranoidandroid is just cm10 with more options lol
I'm trying to be a good forum member and search out my own answers before posting them, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding much info about CM10 from their own website. First of all, they don't have a subforum for the samsung gnex at all (just the google variant), and most of what I have skimmed across on the forums seems to be related to either CM 7 or 9. Should I be looking in the Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA forum over there? Do we have much here on xda for CM10 aside from a dev thread?
Still need to look at paranoidandroid, I'm not opposed to a few extra options on top of what CM10 has already
Edit:
Paranoid looks like awesome, like the ability to use the tablet UI, but I think I'll wait for that one to mature a little more since I'm just getting started with roms!
I'm also gonna have to say mmuzzy's stock AOSP ROM. It's what we would have had from Google if we had AOSP support, IMO.
Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
I'm running vanilla rootbox 2.2 which is also pure android with AOKP bits. To be honest it hasn't even been 24 hours since I flashed that ROM but it's been running very stable. I just can't say anything about battery life yet.

I'm a heavy flasher, I flashed pretty much all JB and ICS ROMS but Gingerbread ROM because I cant seem to find the download link anywhere espicially the Black Notes Last Page ROM that i've been DYING to flash...
So, i was wondering, is it possible to port the HTC Sense ROM to galaxy wonder? All i see is the Xiaomi, Xperia and Nexus kind of ROM ported...

Yes, but I'm under the impression that the Framework required by Sense is so big, you'll end up with precious few RAM.
