Im looking to compile a ics build from source for the a100 but i dont currently have it [arrives next week] and i could not find proprietary files online if anyone could extract them from the iconia and provide them it would be of great help.
I'm not a developer so honestly I don't know what you are looking for. However I can offer that the ICS update files that the community has been using to flash their tablets can be located HERE
In that post you will also see various HC files that may be useful. I also have a copy of an EUU which may be able to be extracted but I believe it is also used to revert the tablet to a stock HC version and I have not uploaded it yet.
Kind of a noob 2
Thanks for the fast reply, anyways this would be my second android build and the first with ice cream sandwich which introduced the need for proprietary files. Im not sure where they are but I thinks they are more driver related and I don't know how to extract from rom if anyone has experience with ics and could extract and upload it would help a lot.

I'm planning on getting the galaxy i9000 when its available in Canada, but I was wondering how I would go about making custom roms for the phone once I get it.
a basic way to do it would be to just download an existing ROM (say, MCR's one) and extract the file. Delete/add the apps you want and make sure the update script and build.prop will still work. Once you're done, zip it, sign it and flash it. It's pretty easy.
...however, I would like to know how to build Android from the AOSP source for a plain vanilla distro. Some of the Samsung additions really get on my nerves, and I'm positive that a vanilla Froyo (or even Eclair) build would run rings around the stock SGS.
...anyone know?
I come from HTC Phones always seeing that in all roms there's a boot.img that can easily be splited in Linux or Cygwin but I see in these Galaxy devices that this is replaced with an equivalent named zImage....so my question is how can i split, edit & repack this file [my reason is to give a shot to some android ports but from another gallaxy devices cough(android 4.0.3 touchwiz from I9100)cough]
Correct me if Im wrong but u can't just edit our kernels like that u have to download kernel source and build it ground up. Thus the reason we have limited kernels here

Well it looks like Samsung doesn't want to give us Dev love
But then correct me if I'm wrong: Would a boot.img work as well in our phones or I need to have the zImage [i'll try to port it from Nexus S (downloaded some ROMs and they have boot.img)]

our aosp roms use boot.img ex. MIUI and CM7 but besides those every other rom uses a zimage which is almost the same thing
Hi all
It has bee a while since my last post. But I hope you can help me to know in this new one.
I have an Xperia X10 with android 2.3 but lately it is very slow in almost everithing, e.i: at the moment to write some text, to make a call, etc. and I was thinking to re-flash it to Andorid 2.3 again to make it faster.
However, I saw that a new Android was released. The Andoid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). So, I was wondering if is there already a version to this Android for the Xperia X10?
If so, could you give me a url where I can download it?
I've flashed my Xperia X10 the last time, however I'm not sure if for the new Android the steps to follow are different.
Any clue, you can write would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Hi there. Think this may be what you are looking for. It's still in development. Tried it on my Xperia Pro however, there are still issues with WI-FI here on the CM9 ROM. Went back to CM7 until this is sorted out. You will find CM7 and CM9 ROM's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445819
Note: if CM9 doesn't work out then, you could always reflash the boot. You will have to do that anyway before putting any of these ROM'S on. You are best to flash the boot.img each time you change out from CM7 to CM9 etc. Once you have flashed the boot.img then, it's the usual routine. Boot into Clockwork Mod and take it from there. Freel free to give me a shout if you need anything else.
From what I know, Android 4 isn't fully supported on the Xperia X10, it will run but many features won't work (for example, the camera).
I'd suggest you to do some research (Google is your friend... oh and XDA) before upgrading. It might make your phone even slower.

Youll find all roms there but any ICS (miui or cm9) the camera and hotspot is not working. I have had personal use with DiXperia 7 'Avenger', ***FeraLab*** and M&M`S MiUI ROMs and they are all great. My favorite is M&M`S MiUI and it is what Im using right now but they are all fast
If someone can PLEASE answer this question for me I would really appreciate it. I recently rooted my S3 so I can download and use rooted apps. I also changed my battery and wifi icons to look like ICS's icons (the blue ones) and removed some the samsung applications with root uninstaller. Will updating to Jellybean ruin my phone or something? Would I need to re-root my phone after installing it when its released? I want to keep all my apps and information as well. I figure this would be a upgrade like how windows does it. T'm new to this just so you guys know.
From another thread someone mention about devs making JB roms for rooted phones which leaves me to my next question
When a dev pushes out the updated JB ROM how will that be different compare to how samsung does it? Will it remove all my apps and personal information?Or is it like upgrading a operating system like windows? Also would there version of JB be like a stock rom or like Samsung with touch wize. I still want my camera to work as well as wifi. I heard from other thread they dont seem to work when updating roms?

Any rom that a developer makes is not going to be an official release and therefore will need to be flashed, this will wipe everything. Usually when people flash roms they use a tool such as Titanium Backup to backup all their apps and stuff. If you don't want to lose any data you would have to wait for an OTA (over the air) update for JB, this will keep all your data in tact although to do a OTA update you have to have all the stock apps I believe.

Im new to the terms.. isnt flash the same as install?
Also, I used Odin to root my phone, How would I go about flashing the JB rom to my phone? Hopefully I'm saying this right. The thing I dont get since Samsung is releasing JB to the s3 why would the JB work flawless with the s3. Couldnt they use the Nexus 7's JB and port it to the S3. I'm still trying to understand how all this works. I dont want to have any hardware issues, like my camera or wifi not working from what i heard in the past.
Good for you on successfully rooting your phone and doing a few things to make it suit you more better. But you will have to do some searching and alot of reading to understand some more.
Right now your phone is rooted Samsung doesn't want to update your phone cause you've already kinda said I don't like the way you do things samsung by rooting your phone. If you want, you can unroot your phone and flash a stock jelly bean rom when and if it gets released and then re-root your phone and do some more changes if you need or want to with the new update. Issue with this is that you have to wait and it takes longer for Samsung to release updates than third party developers can create them, there are pros and cons to doing third party roms same with using stock manufacture releases. its all comes down to the person you are and what you want from your phone. No one can tell you what to do and what is right to do thats your choice because mainly there are lots of choices with these phones.
With that being said its rumoured that samsung will be releasing jelly bean faster than it did other updates, but thats a rumour still. I haven't been following the development of the SG3 lots as I'm pretty happy with my rooted ICS at the moment and don't mind waiting. I don't think there is a clean stable Jelly Bean rom out there at the moment, I know they are coming and are being worked on very hard but the great teams at XDA. I also know the international version has a little more support than the North American versions.
When and if you decide to get a third party rom there are different ways you can install or flash them. Developers will almost always have clear instructions on how to install them, usually requires you backing up cause you'll lose everything and downloading a zip file putting it onto your phone and installing it with Clock Work Mod, if you don't know what that is search for it there is lots of info on it. You can also flash the updates with odin but I believe Clock Work Mod "CWM" is the better way of doing it.
Also just because jelly bean is on other devices doesn't mean its easy to bring it over to another device there are hardware differences, especially between manufactures, features are different and lots and lots of other things, its not like windows and you cant put it onto any device and it just figures it out and works.

I cant thank you enough for this reply. It was very informative! I been doing some research as well so I can get a better understanding on how these roms work. As sad as this sounds I found out cyanogenmod10 is basically a mod rom of jellybean. If these rumors are in fact true, would the jellybean release from samsung speed of the developing process for cyanogenmod10? Since they should share the same code or what not.
I think at this point I dont care to backup. All my pics are sync to my dropbox automatically and my can go to the playstore and redownload my payed apps there. So backing up is not needed with me.
Yeah, CM10 is a 4.1.1 rom as far as I know, I still have my old i9000 and installed it on it the other day. Its nice and has all the jelly bean features, I find it a bit laggy but all the functions work great. The laggyness is hard to say, the phone is old but they are also still porting over all the features, I think its a bit of both at the moment but since its not my daily main phone I don't play with it alot.
The Cyanogenmod is a great rom, and lots of third party roms are based off that rom just with other mods on top of it. Personally since its still a beta like it says in the forum i'm willing to wait and the rumours on jelly bean coming from samsung at the end of august seem to me more true by the day. And once that is released or leaked CM will be alot better faster. But you never know still waiting on ICS from those slow pokes on my tab 10.1 while in the mean time they have released two more tables with ICS haha.
So like i have said before its really up to you. You can install the beta and try it out, I know people are using it as a daily driver. And you can always flash back to stock.
Hello all. i have used the search function but have not been able to find a definitive answer to what im trying to achieve. i have been through so many ROMS ICS and JB of course JB being my favorite but most of them have bugs that i just dont have time to deal with such as speaker/gps problems and other minor issues. I am currently running cm10 wild for the night JB rom, and i would like to go to gb27 stock w/root doesnt have to be official either... i just want everything to work with minimal work. i have seen alot of conflicting instructions so i was hoping someone could point me to a thread containing this info in detail along with files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Well the obvious method, and the simplest would be to use the stock rooted one click to flash in the prerooted software. It will flash in all needed partitions in one swoop. Seeing as only JB modems work on stock TW based Roms. Hope this is what you are asking. I just used this method my self
