Advice on porting to a Galaxy S4

 

Hello list,

Now that I have successfully completed building from source for a Nexus 4
phone I want to focus on efforts of my ports to a Galaxy S4.  I have a
working rooted Galaxy S4 but otherwise it is pretty much stock as it comes
from the vendor.

Advice on where how I should start next?

Seems like I have the following challenges

1) Get the  hardware drivers somehow for my phone

2) Get a working devices directory and somehow build this into lunch to
build the AOSP 4.4.2 fork used for Ubuntu phone

3) Potentially some kernel tweaks?  Or is that the same as working with the
devices directory

4) Other hurdles?

Any hints, tips, experiences would be welcome.

Thanks.
