Root Making ICS ROM For Connect/Esteem (Read it!)

[PlayfulGod]

I will try to put this as nice as I can for both sides. If the OP n his team know wtf they are doing, then yes they can have a alpha or a beta ready in 2 - 8 weeks. If they are learning as they go, fat chance.

If they arent working from 4.0 AOSP src or CM9 src, then they are wasting their time with cooking/theming/reverse engineering or wtfe they are doing.From the OP's descriptions etc I cant really tell how they are doing what they say they are.

To the OP and team, I can see why ppl, including myself are or would be sceptical, I know from experience working with CM9 for the Esteem, its not a easy task by no means.

@tokenpoke, a custom rom can be alot smaller than the stock rom, my CM9 port for the Esteem is currently only 120ish MB

But on the subject of 2 roms being in the same install package, bad IDEA, just plain BAD!!!! I know all about using asserts in the updater-scripts and how to check with a batch/shell script. Best thing is 1 ROM per device. The Esteem and Contact are nothing alike will require diff frameworks etc than the other. AGAIN BAD IDEA!!!

Now to everyone, true geeks can learn stuff fast, and the op n team might just be a bunch of geeks learning android, no offence is meant by this post to any party, but the op, doesnt display alot of knowledge atm, but they may just surprise and I hope they do.

Another thing, ETA's of any kind on a project like this (esp if from src) are just plain bad. No way you can set a time frame to port this and expect to keep to it. Verizons, Sprints, AT&T's, LGS, Samsungs, etc not cranking out ics updates in 2mo, and even CM9 just 'officially released'.

Now with all that said, I wish you the best of luck and looking forward to seeing you port ICS to 2 different devices in 8 weeks or less.

Hit me up if you need any help and I will help where I can.

Thank you for the good support , The beta will be on July 28 to be exact
The date for the Final Release will come soon

Also We have no problem with installing the ICS ROM on Gingerbread/LG Connect , but we are working on the ROM itself , Also for those who said they wanted Beats Audio , We couldn't get that sadly , but we did put a SRS enhancement and alot of audo options for headphones and the speakers so the audio can be clearer, deeper , better , Depending on your style!

Also we put alot more camera options , As Panorama and Burst Shots are not enough... You will find out soon

Also Where do we find Broken Out ROM and install it (My team wants to check it out , so do I!)

We want to study it since It looks well built , Can we have some instructions , No bricking our phones please

Umm you can not install ICS on top of GB, its one or the other or themed.

By the sounds, you all are cooking up ics themed rom(s) on GB, not actually building ICS. Is this a correct observation??? Wording n terminology is everything.

And just clarify what I mean:

Cooked/themed = taking a already built/compiled ROM and modifying it to have more/less/lighter/faster/look different.

Compile/build = configuring and building from source (CM, AOKP, etc). Also know as 'from scratch' by those who dont bother to learn the terminology.




And no problem, I have no problem helping those who want to learn and are willing to put the time in to learn. I try to help whomever I can, but I can also be the biggest critic too.

Big tip, be honest about what/how you are doing things and the majority will have no problems with you. If you claim you are building from src when you are actually cooking stock or someone elses ROM, then ppl tend to get upset and then all sorts of trouble starts.


And I have been working on CM9 for the Esteem for MONTHS, so yea I tend to be a lil skeptical when new ppl show up giving ETA's of a few weeks and arent showing no real knowledge of how things are done etc etc.

Now I know others may be more knowledgeable n more capable than I am and be able to port CM9/ICS to a device faster/better than me. But in most cases their skill n knowledge will show in how they do things, post, talk, etc.

Six threads down or right here http://androidforums.com/connect-4g...oken-out-connect-1-0-w-blitzkrieg-kernel.html
Instruction is in the OP

 

[KrazeeCracker]

Since were all curious, will the OP please clarify if this is based off src or if it is basically a completely themed ROM?

We just logged in right now to say , We will put them as seperate ROMs since in the file names , It would get confused and the system would brick your phone if it grabbed the wrong file , so it will be seperate! Also I know , I sound like I am just a clueless humbag off the street , I am just fried and I just want to save time , instead of writing EVERYTHING even though I could....

Also one of my friends might use the account as I am in a bad situation (Not with the ROM , In personal life) so I won't be always the same guy talking (Either Me , Flamez , Or Chris) (Right now It is Flamez...)

Lol this isn't gunna come from you.

Well I know I for one would rather you all each have your own account, not to mention I do believe sharing accounts is against the AF ToS.

And smart move IMO on keeping them separate. On the typing everything out, nots not really my point, but displaying you all know wtf you are doing instead of just implying it will go along way. Like when I said make it clear what/how you are doing things and not leave it up to assumption. Like you all still havent made it clear if you are just cooking up a ICS themed GB, dirty porting another ICS ROM, or building from source. You have a team saying you're building ICS, yet you have to ask how to install a ROM??? That really inspires confidence, know what I mean???

I am saying all this to try and help you out, because thus far you've not came across as knowing wtf you are talking about. Dont mean to be mean, but sit back and read your own post, and think how you would take them if you werent the one posting them.

Get what I trying to say???

 

[xblabberx]

I'm not sure if I wanna touch this ROM after they're done with it, lol

 

[jeffzz421]

I reluctantly agree.

 

[SecretFlamez]

Grrrr , Negativity , Also , All my friends bailed out on me , so I am stuck to do this alone , I don't think I can do a full ROM myself in 8 weeks and a beta in 3 weeks....... I really wanted to make it for you guys , What should I do? Extend the dates or just give up? Since some of you guys are mad or skeptical as well

Also , I didn't ask about the ROM installation , that was Chris because He wants Broken Out ROM and doesn't trust my steps , so I said go ask someone , He asked on here....

:hmmmm::hmpf::dontknow:
Giving up IS too easy IMO

I'm pulling 4.0.4r2.1 source and working on the ms840 asop integration so this will be a stock ics workup once I can finally build it. So who knows I've sent my bricked connect in for repair and should be getting it back so I can test it out and then have my buddy also see if he can throw something together. Good luck if you are still working on getting your ics build going. Wish they'd dish out jelly bean sounds better all around.
