Device Drivers?? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Soooooo I'm learning to compile on my own. I'm using ubuntu v11.10. I've got my environment set up. I'm trying to start building but I don't know where to get our drivers at. This is the page I got https://developers.google.com/android/ and I can't seem to find our device listed. Do I get them from somewhere else? Thanks for any input ahead of time!

I guess if more people knew this stuff then we would have more devs lol I think one of our devs is gonna help me out today so I'll update this thread with an answer if/when I get one. That way other people can find the answers too.

Might be helpful?

Thanks man but I don't think our device is supported. Besides, I'm attempting to build from source on my own in Linux. I just need these drivers to start out. I appreciate the help though.

Was looking and all I could find was on 12.10 to have libusb installed as well..

Yeah but on 12 the only device tree that's guaranteed to work is pretty much nexus devices according to Google. I don't understand why this is so difficult to locate? Would it be on git hub

Did you see this? Or this?
Curiosity has me looking. Not trying to clutter or misguide. Aside from making a build of my own...

No I'm with you man. The more eyes the better. My buddy told me all Android phone use the same Bluetooth drivers and its called "Bluez" He said that should make it easier. Needless to say, it hasn't. :-\

Now looking at the links you provided, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the drivers to cook in to my Rom for the phone to work. Not to access Bluetooth through ubuntu. You understand what I'm trying to say?

Ahh hah. I was confused. Now I understand. Why not hop on the irc dev channel?
Besides looking in git, I wouldn't be much help. Sorry about that.

Just thought it was a question that others might be having too. Surely I can't be the only one wondering.

[Q] Maddoggins Lock Mods???

Don't know if its been asked, but a quick search showed no 100% answer. Is there a way to get Mads 10-Lock Mod over here working properly for FC09? Honestly anything up to date would be fine doesn't have to be FC09 only. Just curious as to if there was something in the works or if someone could point me in the right direction to do it myself? That was such a good MOD shouldn't let it die away like that

Starting a Sense 4.1 port

Hey I'm about to start a Sense 4.1 port and I was looking for some help. I know the sense 4 all people tried but i refuse to believe that it's impossible to port to the GS3. I've sent some PM's out to some respected developers but nobody has responded. I understand the basics but need more knowledge. So if you feel like contributing then by all means please do so. If you aren't a Sense fan but still understand how, your help is welcomed too. Just no negative people saying stuff like "why would you want Sense on this phone.You should have bought the Evo." Just trying to give back to the community. Thanks on advance

I find it a nice port would love one of these ports I don't know android development but I do know basic programming
+1 to a sense port , I would love a sense port.
Demand
I know there is a demand for it and our phones are more than capable of handling it. Ive seen it ported to lesser devices so Im amped to get this started. I just need someone with a little more knowledge about porting to chime in. I think my main issue that i dont understand is getting the kernel set up to work on our devices. Spread the word lets see if we can get this development going
There was a tread started before and closed because people was not helping and acting childish, the people that was working on it said the hell with it. They had a decent port it had problems but hell it worked. Good luck but people always flood these threads with stupid questions like why don't you just get a htc phone or use a different launcher .

Maybe you should get in touch with the guys that have already started that port project. Not sure what kind of trouble they ran into but their work might provide a nice heads start for you. Just be sure and give them some credit. I personally would love to see a Sense port not because I necessarily like sense but this is XDA and this is what we do! Good luck with this!
+1 on the Sense port, sense has a better integration with android than TW does. Though TW is good in its own way...
get in touch with the team developing the initial port, their major problem was that they didnt have a sprint GS3 to test directly.
That's a great idea you guys. I'll shoot them a PM so we can get this ball rolling.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help. I know java / android programming, but have never messed with ROMs and such.
However I'd love this and if there is anything sort of simple that you would rather have someone else do, send it my way.
Also would probably donate for a working ROM! I love sense!
I know nothing about developing, but will test and give feedback.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Idk if these are the same guys you guys are referring to but they have a port for the international version and have a poll to port to the sprint version. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.

Have you look the sense4all projet? There is already a rom working for the internationnal GS3 (SO DON'T FLASH THIS ROM). Maybe you can try to port that one.
Also our phone have the same processor than the canadian HTC One X, maybe you can go in that direction.

I'm sure Thomas Edison got some good laughs when talking about the light bulb too. You don't know him or know what he's capable of; nor will you ever find out with this attitude. I envy his will to learn, and to take on a big challenge like this. I don't envy, I even despise attitudes like this that try to put people down who are attempting to do great things. To OP: even if you do fail at this, with the attitude you have, you will do great things.

One has gotta start somewhere, I started with ports.
To OP, try porting AOSP/AOKP ROMs from a similar device (like the other SGS3 variants). Those are way easier to port and will give you a chance to learn the basics.

In the same way guys... There's a learning curve. It could have been approached differently. But speaking from the position as he stated that he is completely new to this... If I was a sherpa and someone who had spent their life on a couch says they're interested in rock climbing, I'm not going to say, 'awesome, next week when your equipment arrives go to mount Everest and have fun!' There are ways to train and become better at things. Would suggestions have been better than simply stating that it'd not go well... Yes. And coming here to help where there are experienced devs is good hopefully their guidance will be enough to get him on the right track with this project and if not maybe he can start out smaller and build to this project.

I mean lets be realistic has sense ever been ported completly stable to a non htc device before? Dont go swimming in deep waters if you dont know how to, start off shallow then work your way up.
Being real about the situation might seem harsh but it is what it is......but if he does have some sort of coding skills than by all means do whatever

Multi window mod

Even on a lower res screen it seems helpful. How hard would it be to port?
Neat! Looks like we may be getting closer, eh?
Don't want to burst anyone's bubble but this is the exact same guide TD and I have looked into. Our smali files don't match up.
It's going to take a lot more work to port this mod over.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but right now that specific guide is not working for our device.

Are you talking about reverse engineering it? Man I wish I was a programmer

Right now it will say remove something v12, v13 and the closest we have is v11, v12
