I'm new as a posted to XDA but I'v ebeen making kernels for the Nexus S for a good while now. I've managed to take the GIT of android 4.2 and get to to compile with the crespo source from the cyanogenmod jellybean GIT repo with some minor modifications.

I currently have a GT9020A (fido canada network) and I'm currently running android 4.2 on it with my custom kernel.

Kernel Changes

-Overclocking enabled to 1.3 ghz as that's the highest I could get my phone to go stable
-added VR i/o scheduler as default
-added smartassv2 as default governor
-removed fsync for performance (francisco kernel)

I upgraded this os from a stock android 4.1.2 firmware all I needed to do is wipe cache no factor reset
I don't currently have a working installation of APPS and the image is not rooted. Like I said I'm new to this.

Since I haven't posted on the forums before I can't post a link to the firmware I made. Can anyone help me with this?

I'm more than willing to try and test your work. What kind of help do you need?

Contact the user darkargon here on xda. Or on irc.freenode.net #andromirror. He hosts builds/roms for free and with great support.

Can we PM? I want to build for sgs1 i9000 which should be similar to your device.
I have fully synced android-4.2_rc1 and cyanogenmod jellybean git repo as you did but now I'm stuck.

I don't think the problem is hosting, as others have seemed to assume. I think he can't post the link without having 10 posts

I guess the issue is that I haven't currently made 10 posts on xda-developers therefore I'm not allowed to post external links :( guess I'll have to be patient and post regularly so I can actually get the links out there.

Just post it with spaces in between the letters, that way xda won't pick it up as a link.

ok. I ask you on your thread so you can get more posts.

how did you "lunch (crespo-userdebug)"?

I don't have such an option, there are just full-eng full_manta-userdebug full_tilapia-userdebug full_x86-eng mini_mips-userdebug full_grouper-userdebug full_mips-eng full_toroplus-userdebug mini_armv7a_neon-userdebug mini_x86-userdebug full_maguro-userdebug full_panda-userdebug full_toro-userdebug mini_armv7a-userdebug vbox_x86-eng

where do I have to put the necessary files or which I have to edit to get a galaxysmtd-userdebug?

thanks!

the option doesn't exist in the 4.2 stock source because google isn't making one for the crespo. I added crespo to the source from CM10

you can add it by extracting this file to the root of your 4.2 source

    what is working and not working list ...
    how to flash ...

    If you have to ask how to flash, then don't. Not this type of early software. No offense, but I'm not kidding either. :)

    Hi,
    after flashing the OTC ROM 4.2 I lost my rooting of my Nexus S. Now after 8 hours I could recover windows 8 drivers and boot manager with rooting rights. I cannot install new ROMs, since I get error messages like "system.img not found, data.img not found, android_secure.img not found,cache.img not found"
    I saved my ROMS with ROM Manager on SD card, But by restoring them, these messages are the answer.
    Now after many hours I am exhausted and tired. I am updating ROMs for one year now and never had these difficulties. It reminds me on my experiences with LINUX. If you are not a specialist, you will not be able to install drivers, which are not common. It is a pity.
    Best,R

    This is a ROM in development, if you're not that savvy enough, skip it.

    I don't even know why there's a need to drag CM into this and all the features. A stable clean AOSP 4.2 should be a priority here, let's leave out the cherry picks for a while.
