[Port]Firefox OS/B2G on Samsung Galaxy S3

[Gioyik]

Hi

My name is Giovanny, and i am going to port B2G to my new Samsung Galaxy S3. I am not sure if there's a guide to port B2G to S3, because i hadn't see a guide to explain how to do it to a S3. Some advices to me about this?

Is possible to use the same steps of the S2 in a S3?

Thanks

Hi Giovanny

I tried to find a guide too, but unfortunately I didn't find any. If you
find one, feel free to share it here, so I can try it on my Galaxy S3 too :)

Good luck,
Michael

That means that if i'll do, I will be the first person to port Firefox OS to a S3 :O Awesome!

In this moment i am working on that!

Wish me luck! :)

There's a document on MDN

Good luck,

Not sure if anyone here has seen this bit of info:

https://gist.github.com/3826507

That link has porting notes from nka11 for running FirefoxOS on GS3. I haven't tried anything or verified the info.

The other helpful page that I don't believe has been mentioned yet is the following:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites

Has anyone made any further progress on getting Firefox OS running on the GS3?

I saw that, but the port it's incomplete and not working, I try it and it
doesn't work. I do the port for the S3 and other devices different of the
S3, you could see my work in my github repo:

Github.com/Droid2Fox

I have planned port FirefoxOS to other devices, approximately other 10
devices. Tomorrow I am going to update the repo Droid2Fox/B2G and
Droid2Fox/b2g-manifest with a commit adding the support to install
FirefoxOS in the Galaxy Mini, HTC Sensation, Galaxy Ace and others.

What do you think about my work?

Thanks for posting the link to your github group. I'm now watching your
sgs3 repo :D . If I understand correctly the code that is there does not
currently work on this device? From what it looks like there is not much
difference in the code from original forked sgs2 project. I'm no expert,
but if you can pass along the steps you've taken up to this point to
attempt to run Firefox OS on the GS3 then that could be a good starting
point for me and maybe others who might give it a shot (possibly avoiding
the problems you've been able to overcome).

Hi,

Now, i uploaded the manifest files for those devices:

i9300
p500
pyramid
tass
msm7x27-common

Someone can test it, and tell what works and what not? I only have a
Samsung Galaxy S3 for test, i am planning post this on XDA Developers, to
get people involved in the Testing of this and others Portings of
FIrefoxOS, but if there's someone here than likes test, welcome.

Differences between S3 and the S2, are few, it has a different kernel and
others little things, but it's not a big change. I use CyanogenMod for the
Android Device, i didn't include some other parts and apps of CyanogenMod
because are not necessary for FirefoxOS. I don't have installed FirefoxOS
in my S3, because in the to compile Gecko, the compilation needs a machine
with 4 GB of RAM and i have only 2 GB, so today, thanks to an University
that provides me for certain hours a machine with 4 GB i can run the
complete compilation. Gaia, was compiled successful, xulrunner too, so I
think that all is going to work if you try to compile with my sources, or
probably only the boot works if there's bad luck. So, you can try it, i am
sure that is going to compile all the process, and boot perfectly, well not
totally perfect :P

Hi
Me and my girl celebrating three years together, and I do have a lot to make up for it .. So I promised her a new gadget, something an unique that not too many people have, and something she'll love. So I thought maybe a small 7-inch tablet of apple's new series or maybe something else. I am thinking whether to go for a small smartphone fit into the palm of her hand (she is not one to go around with a bag.(
Shortened, I read in YNET that they launched a new smartphone called Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini http://www.samsungmobile.co.il/galaxysiiimini/features/ , can anyone give me opinions on the device? Maybe take another small device or should not I deal with little ones?

Thanks in advance
Natalie

Hey, I wanted to ask about the progress of the B2G port to sgs3-i9300.
Maybe it is possible to install this system on SGS3 ?
I'm willing to test this system on the device

Sorry for my English.

Hi Dawid. I haven't done anything more to test Firefox OS on my GS3, but maybe someone else following this thread has.

Thank you!

Hey guys,

I know you all are busy with porting and stuff. And I really respect that stuff. Would It be possible for you guys to demonstrate the whole process on a video like from configuring the machine to booting the device to Firefox OS?

Thank You
