CALLING ALL DEVS AND PORTERS

Galaxy s wifi/player 5.0

Ok guys ive been trying since the Galaxy Nexus OTA drop to try and port this to our device the GALAXY WIFI 5.0 but im having no luck so I am posting all i know here and I need help from devs please

Status:

Not booting Stuck on samsung logo

Here is a list of what I have done

Ramdisk diff

This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device. Some notes that are not shown in the diff are that /sbin/adbd and init changed -- These are both binaries so they need to be manually taken from the jb ramdisk.

Files changed in /system/

This is a list of files that have changed in JB... Please check /vendor/{device vendor}/{device name}/ and[/SIZE][/SIZE] /device/{device vendor}/{device name}/[SIZE=5][SIZE=3] in the CM source to make sure they don't overlap... If any do, just keep your cm9 versions.

/system/app/ - Basically every apk, don't even bother copying individual changed files

/system/bin/
adb.p dumpsys.p mksh.p sdptool.p
applypatch.p fsck_msdos.p mtpd.p sensorservice.p

/system/xbin/

dhcpcd media_profiles.xml.p security
event-log-tags.p NOTICE.html.gz.p system_fonts.xml.p

NEW
audio_policy.conf media_codecs.xml security
fallback_fonts-ja.xml preferred-apps

/system/media/ & /system/fonts/ - Just take it all from jb as pretty much none is device specific.

/system/framework/ - Everything

I still don't understand the obsession with SDK ports and winzip kangbang ports of firmwares from completely unrelated devices.

You're going to experience massive levels of frustration and achieve nothing in the next few weeks that won't be completely invalidated when source drops.

I agree. I'm going to wait for the sources to be released before properly working on JB

Might join you on this if you don't mind? I also, have nothing to do at the minute.

What youa re trying to do is valid, and should be rewarding if it comes to fruition. But first you need a 4.1 kernel to use. If you don't have an appropriate kernel, it will be stuck at the bootloader like you described.

Why even port jelly bean if we dont even have a kernel for our ICS roms yet?

I am pretty sure this is for the 5.0, not the 4.0.

'Cause why not? If nothing else it could make it easier for when we Do have a kernel.
