The title basically says it all. It looks like the SGS III models for other carriers are a little ahead of us as far as roms are concerned. My question: is there anyway to make sgs 3 roms from other carrier variants a possibility?
I'm thinking it might be as simple as just making sure the kernel and modem are stock at&t, but want to find out for sure before I try experimenting. Big thanks to anyone who can answer.

If you want to use a rom from the i9300 on your US variant then you are sh*t outta luck. Not gonna happen.
As far as using roms from other US variants on your at&t version then you would be better off asking in the forums for the US variants, not here.

We have a completely different SoC.
So no, it is not that simple.
Don't even try it, I've seen some ask a try anyway.

Looking for a list of the Stock Kernels that come on the 3 new SGS2 on each of the US Networks.
I want to see if there the same or different then the Bell/Virgin Canadian ones.
Those phones aren't released yet, so good luck getting the software.
However, you can get the whole ugkg2 firmware and kernel in the "carrier roms" thread in the original dev forum.

The new phones will have different firmwares due to different button layouts, screen sizes and will also have different modems.
Like the sgs1 and its us derivatives roms and kernels may or may not be comparable, we will have to see.

Can some one link that thred? for the rooted bell kernel then. I'm on my phone in
A grocery store and can't seem to find it on my phone. Lol

When the SGS II is release on ATT next weekend(10/2) will there be a new section(general, themes apps, dev, etc) for it? Or will it go in this forum along with the international SGS II? I believe the ATT SGS II model number is SGH-i777
Anyone? 10 char
Ive been wondering about this too
I would imagine there will be different found as roms from the international version shouldn't work fully on the at&t version without modifications.

+1 for AT&T version.
The S2 forum here is already quite confusing.
Although I do remember reading somewhere for a thread to be started it was like 1k members had to show interest or something like that...

Agreed. I'm guessing it will be much like the I9000 forums and I897(Captivate, etc) where some some things will work but will need to be tweaked a bit to work on the carrier version of phone(ATT).

Nope, different hardware means you need different drivers, etc... to run it. The bootloaders are also different so flashing an I9100 rom onto your skyrocket will brick it.

You'd best check the skyrocket development forums here on XDA. The best chance you have of getting what you want is if there's a SGS 2 ROM port there.. Good luck!
I'm sorry but this question has been bothering me for sometime. I have googled this question but have had no luck. What is the main reason there aren't a lot of custom roms like the international one has? I know our device is newer so I'm just simply asking. This isn't a complaint, ETA or a rant, its simply a question. I know when the atrix came out there were some pseudo roms out until the bootloader became unlocked and then the floodgates opened. Will most of the international roms make it over to this phone eventually. I'm sorry in advanced if this question has been asked before but I really tried to find it first.
the international phone uses a different chipset than this one so no none of the roms will work. the reason we dont have so many roms is because we dont have as many devs as everyone else does (my opinion) but this phone isnt that greatly wanted because of its size so we may never have a lot of roms. the ones we do have are great we just need more themes to go with them. you can port a rom from the skyrocket or t-mobile gs2 if you would like to. im currently running t-mobile ics rom now
Im hoping that theres lot of roms to come but what do i know. The phone is great, not sure why its not popular, yea its big but still sick.

How would one go about flashing a to gs2 Rom on the 1717?

I believe someone tried to flash a skyrocket rom to their note... didn't end well.
The moral of the story is: you can't.
Edit: unless you port it (something not so easy), as smartguy044 said.
You have to change a few files but it works. Im using tmobile rom with everything working great and a theme for the skyrocket

Uhhh, not wanted? The US version of the Galaxy Note has sold more than 5 million units since launch, 7 weeks ago.

How did you do it? Which ROM and what changes did you have to make? There's a considerable difference in displaybresolution, so I'm curious as to how you did it.

Eh. The main reason is because this phone is so new. It hasn't even been out for 2 months. Thats not long in the dev community. Hell, it took like 6 months just to unlock the bootloader on my atrix and even longer for ROMs. With ICS rolling out and the note gaining traction, you will see an abundance of dev help in the coming months

I agree that the Note is "wanted", which will eventually be great for future rom development. However, the figure is 5 million sold globally since the global version's release, not just the US market.

Better than I expected.
We just had a few new dev's join our team, announcement of upcoming cm9, ics release... i'd say we're in pretty good shape for some solid roms coming very soon.
How possible is it or if ever possible will the Roms being created for the international S3, ever become compatible on the US S3, because there is a huge lack thereof ROMs, which I know it hasn't been forever since the phone has been out but if you look at the amount of ROMs and tweaks and mods, it seems as though its rather empty compared, plus I've seen some bad bad bada$$ roms so far for the internation version. Just wondering
Not likely, maybe someone will port one or something but as things are now intl roms will not work on a us phone.

Doubt if you will get a guy in India or China oe Europe even with a USA phone or even the inclination to build a rom .

Dang lost cause. It would have been really sweet. I can only imagine the work it would take to port something like that. Thanks fellas
