Hi,
Some people showed me their interest in having SGS2 supported again, mostly 
*potential* contributors but some mozilla staff too, so I thought that having 
another JellyBean 4.3 device to play with would be interesting, so I found some 
time to port SGS2 to this new platform. Apparently, Samsung is not going to 
provide support for this phone anymore, so it was not as easy as I expected!.
This is still a very early stage of the port, so it's really buggy right now, 
anyway I would like to integrate all my work with mainstream repositories, I 
just wanted to stabilize it a little more before start sending patches and PRs.

If someone is interested in testing it, or just want more details, I wrote all 
the instructions here:

MDN page, promise!)

Oh! It's a dual-boot kernel, so you can have both CyanogenMod 10.2 (JB4.3 
based) and FirefoxOS installed on your phone.

SGS2 is back! ;)

Kind Regards,

Juan, this is very exciting. I'm going to be getting an SGS2 ASAP and giving this a try.

You mentioned that there's interest from potential contributors here and I'm sure that's true. Have any of those interested spoken with you about help maintaining an SGS2 port? I'm very interested in seeing a project like that supported and I'd like to work with you to organize some community around such an effort.

I'm very new to the Firefox OS project but I'd love to help here any way I can.
