Hi all, I'm very curious about porting an OS to a device born for another OS. I' d like to know which are the pre-requisites. I define me as an expert noob, because I'm a student and I don't know 'nothing' (IMHO), so I'd like to learn about this topic and I'd like to help someone to port firefox OS to another phone (especially wave and mini2, I have this two phone at the moment).
Hope the someone could clear my ideas
Thank you.
Here's the official guide on the Mozilla website:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...tlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Firefox_OS/Porting
Good luck
Well, the wave was born with bada, but there's the porting of Android 4, can I use that kernel? What else I have to modify? Something in the kernel used in Android of Wave + config.sh ??
While for the mini2 the porting is as every android?

I can't really say, since I'm not a dev or anything, just hoped that the guide would help you.
Try to search on this page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS
Maybe you'll find something else useful
On my persona note - I guess that Mozilla presumes that you already have Android on your device, so perhaps you should base the port on system-important elements like the kernel on the Android-side
OK I'll study hard hoping to do something good for the community. If someone have some advice for me, write here please

Just wanted to know if anyone has compiled the AOSP with Galaxy S kernel and put it on their phone?
By this I mean has someone built a ROM completely from scratch, no grabbing libraries, APKs, system data etc. from an official ROM?
not yet but there are many people (me included) who would like to see something like that! wesgarner (from the cyanogenmod team) has written on twitter that he will probably build a cm version for the galaxy s but that will take some time...
i have been playing around with the sources for some day's now and i am thinking about trying to build something myself. i have however to little experience to do it all by myself. it would be cool if we could start something here ...

wow. that´d be AWESOME !
i really enjoy AOSP rom´s ( i used them at my htc hero ).
but i´m a newbie when talking about Android cooking ( i know how to cook for wm hehe ).
btw , good luck =D
thanks .
To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.
Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.
Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)
Thanks in advance,

Hi Everyone ( After a while i need to say hi ._. )
Basically, is there such a thing?
I need Firefox OS for my Electronics Knowledge Convention, and i can't currently port it myself. Perhaps, is there somebody out there willing to get the right version for P3110? ( Happening in two weeks )
Any help is appreciated.
The Device is listed on the Compatibility List, so it's okay.

Firefox for android is the Firefox browser and Firefox OS is an operating system !
Hi everyone,

My aim is to make it to work like a new version of android commander to work with all devices.
I will need all the help i can get as i say im not a professional programmer but i want to challenge myself and would lve people to join in / help develop this
Thanks.
Is it done yet?
Hi, first of all, sorry if this is an stupid question, or if I'm underestimating the difficulty of porting this kinds of software, or if I'm saying something wrong.
I really like GNU/Linux mobile distros like Sailfish OS, Lune OS, Ubuntu Touch and Plasma Mobile, they use Halium for base for using our hardware, Is someone already trying to port Halium for our device or is there already an existing port? That would open a new world of OSs for our device.
If anyone hasn't ported Halium yet I could give it a try; However, I have 0 experience porting stuff, so I can promise nothing, I'm good using Linux and reading documentation and guides though, but I don't know if that will be enough.
Again, sorry if I'm underestimating the difficult of porting, if I'm saying something wrong and if I can't make myself understood.
Edit: I'm not actually working on the project because I haven't the phone. I did a progress when I had it, anyone interested in the project can PM if get stuck or need help or guide. Thanks for everything, great community.
