Porting roms to newer modems? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to port let's say an ei22 rom to el30 or fc09? Would it have to be like strting all over and a lot of work or could it be as simple as porting a theme but with the xml files and other stuff??

How about "Porting roms to newer builds"
And your answer would be no, rom developers spend a lot of time and effort working their tweaks and mods around samsungs latest attempts at fixing stuff.

AOSP or close to stock Gingerbread?

I don't like any of the roms I see and want to completely customize my own rom. Is there an up to date AOSP build for EI22 or an ext4 rom with no themes at all? And minimal tweaks? Some of the themes on these roms don't look very good. I'd also like a working version of allshare for Gingerbread. Thanks in advance.

Nope. You can grab the stock release mostly untouched that Noobnl packaged and work your own mods in and remove the bloat.

Does it work on ext4? And will flashing a kernel break things?

EXT4 is kernel dependent. No but the kernels here have a lot of mods in them.

All ROMs are in Development. The title tells you what firmware they are. All of Epic ROMs are great. Pick one.

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.
There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

Font or be fonted

So I'm running the peoples rom on my new epic (and it's amazing) but I was wanting to install a font from rom toolbox and was wondering if that would hurt anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Doesn't work on cm9 but any other rom will work just fine. You could just use font installer .

Modem (baseband) seems to be personal choice these days. As a habit I always go with the latest official but it is what works best for you.

Oh that makes sense so which one would be recommended for the peoples rom?

I always use the latest official so am currently on FC09 but have seen no change from when I was on the EL30. Either one can be odin'd in or put in through a series of flashables.
Ahhh ok sweet thanks man I appreciate your time very much

Well, people definitely don't seem happy with the OTA update. I am using times_infinity builds of AOKP and they are absolutely amazing.
On topic, JB seems interesting but it just seems so minimal of a change... Sure smoothness is great but not worth wading through 20 builds of meh performance battery and features. I'll likely wait a month or two to actually use a JB build.

I feel the same. I couldn't care less as to what the official sprint update looks like, I'm just excited for what our devs will make of it I'm on mijjz 16.5 and I couldn't be more satisfied with ics.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Emoji, emoji, emoji!! native emoji support is all I'm thinking about. Thankfully CM10 will come to us, so no need to depend on sprint or samsung. Also, not to be a **** but the article linked in the OP mentions nothing what so ever to back up the meaning of this thread, it only mentions the galaxy S3. This would be the correct thread with good source to a possible jelly bean update to the Galaxy S2. sadly so far only international version.

I got a noob question.. is there a good ICS built that isn't themed? I mean i like colours but would like to be able to theme it myself instead of going for the developers taste.
I was running Calk's ICS rom and he was to only dev that didnt theme the whole thing

I would suggest either cm9 or aokp. Both are very stock looking with tweaks and they are highly customizable.

But tw is heavily [and terribly] themed... why would he want that? I'd suggest sfhubs release of the stock rooted ff18 then... or of course mijjz goodness... still themed, but it works pretty damn good.

AOSP JB KB on TW JB, not working???

So I was able to use the AOSP JB keyboard on an ICS TW based rom, but not the new JB TW based rom, any ideas without trying to go the logcat route?

Try downloading ICS keyboard from Play Store.
I want the app built in, not an app built to be like AOSP, thanks though.

Going to have to wait for a Dev to work it in to the ROM of your preference then unless you can add it yourself.
Wouldn't be hard.
