Hi everybody...
I'm kinda new to Android...
I want to ask, is it possible to install the stock JB 4.1.2 firmware which belongs to Samsung galaxy SII (sgh-t989) on Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G (sgh-t769)??:p

Touchwiz jb 4.1.2+

Just curious, is it possible to port stock jb from sgh-t989 to the Blaze? Could we actually get a taste of real Touchwiz JellyBean?:rolleyes:

I think that someone with a lot of porting experience can get this to (partially) work, I have no experience with porting what soever, but I do know Python and learning VB. Would be cool if I could use those in android :D

I hope someone may consider it. I am learning all this stuff with a lot of effort. I have until now been developing apps only... But ROM dev and porting, and kernel tweaking is really interesting. But you can use python in android...at least in app dev.

Wow, Somcom, you have already done it? Why haven't you posted that awesome ROM on our dev thread? But if you opt to keep it private, i would like to have a taste. Or at least teach me how you ported that ROM. I really wanna be a ROM dev and porter. Thanks for the hope.

Finished it about 3 hours ago.
WiFi is broken, keeping me from relasing.
Wasn't really a port, was more of recompiling the kernel and adding blaze support kind of thing. Only took me 9 hours...

This approach lets people flash any Hercules and skyrocket tw rom.

Do you have like tutorials for porting tw roms from similar devices(Hercules etc)? I would like to learn that. If not please give me some guidelines. I would really be thankful. Anyways you know a lot of stuff, have you ever considered passing that expertise to others? Oh well, i know there are a lot of tutorials on everything all over the forum and stuff, but maybe your way is different. You have done a lot of dev work, that's what i mean.

Ha ha.
No tutorials :) it's all prior knowledge.
Well here's how this project came to be :
1) read this thread
2) downloaded the source code
3) diffed the defconfigs of herc, the cm t769 and the ics apex one.
4) compiled a kernel
5) repacked boot.img
6) didn't boot
7) replaced my uber kernel with the compiled kernel
8) booted, no network, wifi, gapps.
9)Repeat 4,6,8, and 9 five times. 10) debug ril. Fixed
11) post screen shot
12) go to sleep :p

Thanks Somcom, I'll try that. But my ROM will probably get stuck on the bootscreen, or systemUI or android.core process will keep crashing , coz that's what happens to all my Roms. But thanks alot. I hope to see the 4.1.2 tw ROM soon. GREAT DEV WORK, REALLY GREAT...:)

Wifi will be a while... Torch too..
They are linked to the libhardware_legacy.so lib, which can't be easily modified.

Yap, things aren't so bad. The broken features will, in time, get fixed. You couldn't possibly steal us a taste, would you?

    Well people.
    Camera, light sensor and torch will not work with the Wi-Fi fix.
    I'll fix it later on.
    But, I'll release it in the mean time. a few hours to go.
