Porting ROM - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I never ventured into this sorta thing b4, so hold the noob comments. But I was wondering what would it take to change a gsm ROM to a CDMA ROM for personal use and then if it turns out fine thru testing I could upload them for the sprint nexus devices

I have been digging my self but a lot I have found out is all based inside the boot.IMG like ramdisc and some other things if you would like to work together let me know

I ported minco from gsm to toro before they released an official. I did it by looking at Peter Alfonso's bugless beast Rom file by file and bring which were different then passing the toro specific files (of which there were like 15) into the new Rom. Updated build.prop to toro and it worked. I didn't have to make any changes to boot.img (that's the kernel and its universal in gnex roms)

Even for toro+?

you will need toro+ specific binaries, but yes, in theory it should work.
take a look at extract-files.sh under jb branch @github.com/cyanogenmod.
there should be a project called device/samsung/toroplus.

The same is true for all the other files. Sync the repositories for a device that supports different networks and diff the build config files.

Hope its AndroidMe

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S II No AOSP Support

Hey, this may have been answered, but I keep hearing one of the reasons (could be wrong) we don't see more stock ROMS is cause our device doesn't have AOSP support. Thats why we don't have an AOKP build for ICS too.
What does this mean? I am a noob.
Google.

It means you may get flamed for your post. Also need drivers. Either Samsung to release them or someone to build them.

Google is your friend.

Sprint:CIFS.ko??

Does anyone know where I can get CIFS for a sprint galaxy nexus?
Why not just flash a new rom such like aokp? As I know it seemed to be rom specific so it will be less likely for you to find one if you do not have one shipped with your rom.

Toro gone from AOSP.

I just did a repo sync and all that is left in Samsung devices is maguro and tuna. Toro was removed. How can I get it back? I had just compiled my first aosp ROM bases on IMM76L.

Toro was removed months ago due to the CDMA chipset and copyrights from Qualcomm. Doesn't look like it will be added back.
Months ago? Weird I've been doing repo sync every few days and it was just removed today. How are devs building aosp roms with the latest releases. Proprietary binaries were not included so I don't know why that would be the reason.

[REQ] Monitor mode / aircrack-ng

Yesterday on slashdot I stumbled upon an item of (potentially) considerable interest: it would seem some clever folks have succeeded in getting monitor mode to work on Android devices using certain broadcom based WiFi chipsets, including the bcm4330... They compiled working apks for the SGS II and we use the same wifi chip, so it should work. They also hosted the source on a googlecode project. SO, in theory (if I understand things correctly) all we should need is for someone with a working AOSP build environment for our phone set up to compile the code. I'm new to the dev scene and therefore highly unqualified lol, but I'm sure there are a handful of experienced devs out there with the knowhow to get this up and running!
Here's the link: http://bcmon.blogspot.com/
And the source: http://code.google.com/p/bcmon/source/checkout
Thx for this checking it out now!
Looks interesting, and for SGS II, let's see where it goes...
I've been wanting to see the this f pi r years

Please make it work on the s3!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
its more than possible only a matter of time before a whole set in apk comes out :angel:
I believe the Wi-Fi chip in the Galaxy S3 is actually an updated model than the ones used in the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S2. It would require some tweaks for our phones.
Yes ur right but who can build it for me ? Who???

JB 4.2.2 Kernels List

I would like to start a list of Kernels for Jelly Bean 4.2.2. I will start with the one that I have been using:

Thanks,
Rick
is this really necessary lol?

I agree...
This is actually going to end up confusing people because it will imply the kernel will work on 4.2.2 regardless of its GPU binaries which is not true.

exactly
Thew new 4.2.2 ROMs should implement the new binaries but that's not the case at moment, not custom kernel problem.

The binaries haven't even been merged to CM yet. This pointless thread is going to cause more trouble than help.
