Yes bro but I guess device needs official marshmallow, Because i don't have much faith in Touchwiz when it comes to updates
And personally i believe stockis better than port in Touchwiz ROMs

Placeholders aren't allowed on XDA.

Actually, since this thread is clearly labeled "WIP" this is allowed. Ongoing development.

Thanks for your concern.

I will test to help development

I'm currently deodexing the dump and removing all arm64 libs/binaries. I think that the first alpha will be ready for the 2nd January

I've done the first build, Now i'm uploading it. It won't boot, it gets stuck on Galaxy SII logo, I don't know why. To flash it you need to repartition the phone. The file i will upload is a 7z file, so you need to decompress it to flash. The file contains odin, the pit file and the rom

Clean CM13 kernel can't boot TouchWiz rom. You need to modify it.

Wow nice & interesting Rom. Waiting for some screenshots!
But is this based on CM13 or a port from original TouchWiz FW?
I mean if this is a real port and would really boot you as a dev would have done the impossible to be possible. So i am a bit unsure if this rom will really boot. @arter97 and @Blekota gave already their best to get the newest touchwiz (4.4.4) feeling for our S3, but they could not get a port from a newer device running android 5 or 6, as there is no device with similar hardware. So I think there is no chance for a port to the Galaxy S2.

This shows me that the rom will never boot. See my upper explanation.
But still good luck in this project, will keep following it, as when you would make this really possible you would have made a really big thing in the Galaxy S2 Android Life!

 

[philipped346]

i confirm , no boot , sorry for s2.

 

[KOR_ALien]

I think S2 would be ported on S3 JB 4.3 stock firmware rather than this.
This is almost impossible... 64bit firmware is not compatible with 32bit device.

I don't own I9100 but porting stock firmware (like official JB 4.3 or ported FW like KK TW 4.4.4) from international I9300 should be possible and with good results.
Why? Of course because its similar hardware (Exynos/GPU Mali etc.)
But I'm not talking about porting with AOSP base like CM, this is long, long way to changing smali code in framework etc. Just trying adapt kernel (exactly ramdisk) to be able boot this official firmware, and changing device blobs - Mali libs/egl/audio libs/camera/av decoders and encoders libs/ril libs...this is possible.
I don't know if you will get "useful" ROM, but you should be able to boot it.

Like I ported just for fun one of official JB for S2 to Ace 2 (where hardware is really different), audio, video, camera wasn't working but ROM booting anyway...
Maybe it does not may any sense (I spent on this 2 hours), but I just wanna say its possible and results are good as hardware is close.
Good luck.

Thank you so much. I will try your method
