I don't have enough money to import a GS2 so I'm stuck making kernels without the phone. Could someone please extract the config file from their phone? Also, if you are interested in testing my kernel, please add me on Gtalk at [email protected]
you r from LA, & u rtelling us that u dont have money ??? you want us to believe that ???
come on buddy....

I'm from L.A.? Even if I was I'd have even less thanks to Cali's taxes
I'd like to see the config file too just so I can go browse thru the kernel source code myself.
Its nice to see the support for developers for this device. Takes 30 seconds to pull a config and the only response is someone with a sarcastic post based on a stereotype of Americans.

I hear you. I was sincere though in my interest. I really wanna see the config file.
If the lack of a config is from a lack of knowledge you pull the config file by typing this into terminal:
Su
Cp /proc/config.gz /sdcard/config.gz
Then upload the file here

I can't find config.gz in /proc
Samsung don't include the config on the device, but...
Attached is a copy of my .config from building the KDD kernel from Samsung's sources. AFAIK that is identical to what Samsung used to build the stock kernel on device.

kind of a noob question, but how exactly would one know which of each file of the source code to include to compile your own ROM/kernel? guess my question really is, looking thru kernel source, how can i know if any random file is or is not part of the kernel? example looking thru battery drivers, i can see the max17042 and fuelgauge_sec is used, while other batt drivers are not used but still present. how does one able to figure this out for each folder etc?

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space.
Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk.
This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
I'll upload what I have after elclassico

you might want to delete Email.apk and MobilePrint.apk first because these two were the ones that I deodexed ignoring the errors. (lotsa errors with Email.apk. be wary of that one )
most of the errors in these two files were related to some awt libraries that are missing. I think (or hope) that they used these libraries only for debugging, so it shouldn't crash theoretically.
lemme know if it works guys ! can't wait for my phone to arrive

oops. thanks for testing
the logcat doesn't look good at all. I think I'll wait until samsung releases the proper sources for our phone before I make another attempt. This was all built with the korean sources and the error it throws now doesn't help much.
thanks again
ok, I'm a little restless and tenacious... i was able through some hoops and jumps to get a libwebcore with samsung's korean sources that matches the size of the one in your phone exactly (basically the build config of crespo.. should match the sII's except for the target_board_platform). I've not applied any arabic patches to it yet. just please try it and see if it at least runs ? (if it does, we have a winner !! )

So you want to remove the credits and name yourself after? It's nonsense, atleast respect the developer for the stuff he provides for free.
Compile your own kernel, it is the only way.

That's kind of harsh. Make your own kernel, that's the only way. You may start by downloading sources from Sony developer site.
Manipulating the strings just to change the kernel name of another person's work and effort to your liking is not a good idea.

you want to backsmali what? If it's an apk or jar file than use apk manager, it gives you the option to either just unpack the file, decomplie it as well as backsmali.

I know that there are actually LOTS of "How to port ROMS" in this forum now.. but I would like to share a certain source I found that is actually fool proof
Here it goes!
find a ROM that is designed for the same CPU type and the same phone manufacturer. Any stock Gingerbread, ICS, or CyanogenMod 7/9 ROM should work, but you’ll have to make sure your phone can handle the ROM – no ICS for an HTC Hero, for example. Also, your Port ROM's original Phone should have the same RESOLUTION with that of your phone's.
You will need:
**Notepad++
**a compression program (WinZip or 7zip and etc)
**the ROM you want to port to your phone (let’s call it the "Port ROM")
**a ROM designed for your phone (let’s call it"Base ROM")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This guide may mention some files or directories that aren’t present in your particular ROM; don’t worry, just carry on.
On your PC, extract the .ZIP files containing the two ROMs, and navigate to /system/app in your extracted Port ROM and copy stk.apk, vpnservices.apk, camera.apk, and bluetooth.apk into a temporary directory somewhere else on your PC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, delete the following folders from your Port ROM and replace them with the ones from your Base ROM: /data, /system/app, /system/framework, /system/fonts and /system/media.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From your Base ROM, copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so to the system/lib/ directory of your Port ROM, overwriting the file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next up, move the .APKs you copied earlier back into the /system/app directory of your Port ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open up /system/lib in your Port ROM and copy all the files and folders. Paste them into the Base’s /system/lib directory, replacing all. Then go back to the Port ROM and delete the /system/lib folder, and replace it with the /system/lib folder from the Base ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next, navigate to the /system/etc/init.d folder in the Port ROM and do the same copy-from-Port, paste-to-Base, delete-from-Port, copy-from-Base, paste-to-Port shuffle as before.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions and do that same copy-paste dance one more time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for “ro.build.description=” and “ro.build.fingerprint=” from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finally, make sure that your kernel is specifically for your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, if you desire, you can update any apps you require, or add any tools like BusyBox or SuperSU.
And that’s it! Your base ROM is now ready to be zipped and installed on your device via Clockwork Mod!

Well that is to ensure "safety" when porting a ROM.. the guide i posted was a beginner's guide on how to port.. as you can see, almost 80% of the procedure is just basically copy&paste..
however, if you have a good background now in codes and porting things, i believe you may not follow step-by-step the procedures i stated above.

What about dual Sim ph?
Does anyone have any idea what would cause a "Modem Crashed Forced Upload Mode" on a port for SGS3?
I can't seem to pinpoint what causes that (I think it's a kernel panic but I could be wrong)
Looks like this would work on International Note 2 and Tmobile Note 2. They have the exact same hardware and everything. I was wondering about the last statement about kernel. Can't I just copy the boot.img from tmobile note 2 to international note 2 ? would that work ? I am not familiar with kernels and stuff. Need advice.
Thanks
I decided to use Dsixda's kitchen, so I made the file for the Tab S 8.4 Wi-Fi (Klimtwifi).
Here it is. Try it, I think it was correctly made.
Mirror: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526786375
What is it?
Dsixda's kitchen includes support for several devices, but that list is no longer updated. Meaning, you'd have to set the file up yourself. Dsixda's kitchen must know what are the partitions, the file systems, etc. This file says where the mount points are, for example. Just drag the "klimtwifi" to the /kitchen/tools/edify_defs directory, and you now the kitchen knows how to make the Updater Script for your device.
