Any chance of a new porting guide?

 

A few months ago I did a port for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (based
partially upon the work of others). It worked well enough that I posted the
wiki entry in the "devices" section (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/p3110) and listed it as a working
device.

Approximately a month ago, it stopped working with the daily builds, and
booted to a black screen. I promised the testers on the xda forum to get a
new build out.

Two days ago I did a complete rebuild of all repositories and started from
scratch. Following the tutorial in the wiki, I ended up with a somewhat
smaller build than before. Now, however, it doesn't even get to the black
screen, but instead hangs on the Samsung logo. Since it never gets into a
working system of any kind, I can't even figure out how to pull logs to
determine what's causing the problem.

If there are things that have changed w/r/t the way the ports need to be
built, it would be helpful if the porting guide was updated to reflect
those changes.
