If a Rom is built off aosp could it potentially be ported to any phone? I'm specifically talking about the firefly Rom for the Samsung captivate. It's all aosp and no touchwiz. I can provide a link if anyone would consider actually porting it.

Yup, that's it. I see now its actually a touchwiz based Rom.
I knew it was froyo, I just figured if it was portable, maybe a nice dev could add the theming to a newer base? Lol not sure that makes sense. I just know that I've flash atleast (the very least) 3 roms a month. Back when I had my captivate, I stuck to the firefly Rom for months. The look had color and style, but didn't dream "I'm 13" lol. Guess its really the theming I like.

This questions is geared more towards my friends in MIUI land. I had asked it once before at miui-dev.com and miuiandroid.com. However, I did not notice any responses and now with the site down I probably would not have received any feedback unless I posted here.
My question is regarding the new TouchWiz 4.0; it is my understanding that the MIUI rom is based off of a modified version of TouchWiz and now with v4.0 coming out I wanted to know what the possibilities were for new functions to be updated, changed, or new features perhaps added?
Thanks for the read and any comments.

Well, yes, but the Nexus S has its own set of problems... At least it is AOSP, not TouchWiz.
MIUI is based on AOSP / CM7, but borrows design concepts from Touchwiz, iOS and Sense a little.

ADT is a development team, they have made Roms such as beast mod and now paradox.
Every ROM is based off of Samsung stock base except for CM7, MIUI.

A true samsung ROM is a stock rom, unchanged except whatever Samsung did to it before leaving the Factory ...
AOSP, is STOCK Barebones Android ..
As far as the other naming, best explanation is that there is NO explanation, the devs that make the custom ROMs name them what ever they want.. Sometimes it is named after the Team that made it, the person that made it, or the general idea behind the ROM ...

There are already two ports of CM9 (with inherited problems), I might work on JB but not now.
How about porting some of the features ?

I think MIUI and AOKP ports should remain original, mixing things will neither be JB or MIUI,AOKP.

Here we go again. People trying to port new Android versions from completely incompatible phones, hardware wise. Or worse yet, from an emulator image.
It will run like **** no matter what, so I'd rather wait for sources, thank you very much.

Well cm9 is being ported right now. Right now it works pretty well so why won't cm10 work? The only thing i think won't work is the camera and some other bugs

Are any of the TW features extractable, for when we get Jelly Bean? I.e., smart stay?

Yes but Sammy won't have JB for a while. CM10 will be out soon or at the very least a custom rom.

The Samsung features included in a touchwiz rom are proprietory which means they're not open source.
Added to which they have specific framework dependancies (and Kernel) which are not compatible with AOSP so for the vast majority of samsung features and apps that you want, you can't have.

What I'm curious to know is what Samsung is gonna do with S voice in jellybean, seeing as Google Now seems better.
Am I the only one that's thirsty for a Google Edition S 3?
Anybody think it would be actually possible to port a 4.2.2 (Google Edition S 4) ROM to our S3?
There both based on 4.2.2, just a thought! I flashed the Google Edition S 4 ROM and it said optimizing xx/88 apps so some things have to be compatible with our ROM!

The whole ROM didn't flash, like no changes.. I did a dirty flash and it said optimizing apps.
Not sure what apps it flashed.

4.3 Google Edition ROM got leaked, it even got ported to the T-Mobile GS 4.
What are the new features. And it won't happen for a port for us. But AOSP 4.3 will be pushed soon then

Why won't it happen? Porting 4.3 or 4.2.2 isn't possible?
I'm not sure about the new features, It's still Jelly Bean that's all I know.
So has anyone got 4.3 running on our device?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It's not possible because the TW Kernel source is not available. Therefore, the devs cannot create a working kernel to support 4.2.2 TW on our phone (or 4.3 for that matter).
Isn't the "Google Edition" just a complied AOSP build for said device? You could just built it for the d2tmo from the sources.
EDIT: I was thinking of the Nexus series devices, I believe that they are straight AOSP.

Nope, Google Edition still has Touchwiz in it.
Google Edition isn't pure AOSP.

People already have ported 4.2.2 and 4.3 Google Edition which both have Touchwiz in them though.
Even though the Kernel Source isn't available, they've still been ported..

Do research before you actually think it's a bad idea.
It's Touchwiz with Touchwiz removed, only a small piece of TW is in it, rest is AOSP.
