Re: Developing ROMs?

---

I called Samsung and asked about official updates and they said the 4.2 won't be getting any because the specs aren't good enough....

Thats a lie. there was a device called the Galaxy Music that had an 800 mHz processor that got JB.

Samsung wont update the galaxy players because they are much cheaper compared to phones (take the s3 for example, it costs 700-800 bucks if you get it without a contract)

I'd suggest reading through the following threads if you haven't already. Then ask about the specific parts there you're not understanding.

[GUIDE] How to port ROMs to the Galaxy Players

[Guide]Rom Development for Dummies (and a few other things)

And I found this one that describes the complete process for the aospa rom. You should be able to adapt the details for whatever rom you're working on.
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance

That won't work until there is a working ICS kernel though. And even after that is completed, work will need to be done on the ROM.
