Sorry to bump such an old thread. But I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a full Firefox OS ROM (that doesn't need hardware modding to run the Nexus S bootloader like the video above had to run it.) Surely if the hardware is already supported, most of the work is done?

Since the new versions of Android are just too slow on the Galaxy S, but low end Firefox OS phones are still being sold with lower specs than our S, I see some real potential to keep the phone alive with an up to date OS. Maybe we can get a few more years out of the device this way!

    I've had a look through and all their documentation is specifically for the sgs2, which is why the probably already have a build up and running, so this could be more complicated than I initially thought. However, after a quick scan through I can see some crespo stuff(nexus s).

    Honestly, don't depend on me. I can have a look through and see how it works, but probably someone more fit for the job than me would be better at this.

    I had a little free-time, so I made a logo. But I can't decide between the name "Boot 2 Galaxy" & "Galaxy Fox".
