Has anyone ever tried running a Nexus S rom on the Epic 4G?

Did y'all just flash the file as is or did anyone try to modify anything?

The nexus s is a gsm phone as the epic is cdma. we have things the nexus s don't and vise versa. There's only so much changes that can be done considering we only have a eclair source to compare with. We need froyo source to help fine tune things.

But with it being gsm and this phone being cdma...you should at least get it to boot up if you swap kernels..only thing that shouldnt work if you did that is hardware buttons, wifi, signal and all that other jazz (but those files can be replaced to work).

I will once I get my phone in a few weeks. Thats exactly what happened with the Desire HD rom and the Evo (and the Evo and Nexus One...and Evo and Inc). Swapped out the hardware files and boot.img and it was all good (except for the HD rom which was GSM...had to edit the service.jar file as well I think).

Idk anything about the hd but the evo had official froyo making things easier.

Probably jsut how I mentioned it. When they firs got it on there when it was just the system files...I assume someone made a build.prop and used an AOSP kernel (CM 6.1 ) and it booted up.

And idk if Froyo source has anything to do with it...I can flash a gingerbread rom right now and use any aosp kernel (kernel for 2.2) and it'll be fine.
