[ROM][KK 4.4.2][24/01/2014] Unofficial SuperNexus 4.0 build 1.1 por


This is an awesome port of KK.Everything is KK in it. Its for the Samsung Captivate. Think this could be done on our phone? I have the Cappy as another phone and it feels like i have a Nexus 5. This is at XDA

 

[rbheromax]

It wont really help because of how that phone is setup
its an exynos3 based phone designed by samsung while we're on a msm8655 designed by qualcomm. the way the kernels and stuff is different (their ramdisk is INSIDE the kernel while ours is just "paired" or rather meshed to make a boot.img) and i need a look at the boot process to help get this rom booting. i'll prolly take a look at some of the 8x55 sony's or htc ramdisks to help.

 

[cell2011]

Right ok yes sony or htc. Yea we are only at snapdragon s2 Sorry i thought anything can be dont today in todays tech. Isnt HTC Desire one to work with? And find some phones that run at 1.2 same chip. Sam Galaxy reverb is the same at 1.4. Sony Xperia play too. Ive had the Xperia it was very smooth back in the day. htc one s and x maybe. I dont know any of this stuff just trying to help. does init.d have alot to do with this and booting?

Try the ZTE Blade... really similar specs.

 

[jimsmith80]

So similar that most kernels for the warp are built off the blade source.

 

[cell2011]

Someone on Modaco already has Cyano 11 KK on Blade 3. msm 7227 qualcomm

 

[Dslack420]

interesting info im gna download and look at it

 

[Dm47021]

Try the ZTE Blade... really similar specs.

That's a refreshing outlook on programming to hear. It boggles my mind how bloated and wasteful apps nowadays are! Just because high-powered hardware is coming within reach of an ever-growing number of folks doesn't mean a programmer should take the easy (e.g. lazy) route. Why waste when you don't have to? Make it run, first, then optimize and optimize some more, until it executes faster than a crack-snorting cheetah on fire riding a bolt of greased lightning.

I've been working on making an OS / GUI shell in my rare moments of spare time, and it just amazes me how much I can accomplish on basic hardware when meanwhile the big boys at Microsoft require a dual core processor and a couple gigs of RAM before they'll even install. :argh:

*steps off soapbox*

Wow I love it when this topic comes up, I might be showing my age but I remember when.....

Anyway just imagine if there were a team of old time assembly programmers around from back then and they were given an average pc platform from today and told to build an os from the ground up 1-to be as fast as possible 2-do all of the things we are used to today ie email, web, stream, video conference. 3- make it pretty if you can without giving up 1 or 2
I would love to see what they could come up with, without any preconceived notions from the big guys today, that in a way is a dream of mine, not a wet dream mind you but close enough! LOL

You know, that is REALLY nice. And I "think" that is what we have here with our Dev's. Think about it. Okay, we have a P.O.S. cheap phone. And I tell ya what. I'll put my phone up against a lot of my friends phones and they go, "WOW!" Maybe not as good, but they still say "whoa", when I tell them how much it is, and where it started from........
Granted, we have a few issues. But, really, for the price of this cheap lil phone, sh-t, we're still in the boxing ring!
I love my phone. I hope that we can all afford to go to WARP 4-g and carry all of our goodies to that! Then Watch us!
I guess I'm being the Warp frigging cheerleader tonight! LOL
This is a hobby for me. I enjoy it, and I really like all of you.

GOOOOOO WARP!!!!!!
This is embarrassing, for a 52 year old man................LOL

That's pretty much exactly what I've been trying to do with this project off and on (mostly off, lol) since late 1995. I want to make something that is easy to use for everyone, will work on a variety of PC hardware and is fast, strong and stable. There's not much to show, yet, as most of the progress being made is under-the-hood (currently I'm working on implementing FAT16 support) but when it's done I think it'll be pretty cool
