Newly arrived Samsung Galaxy W has been given a treat by porting a CM9 for it. This port is currently in progress but can still be installed and tested. The CM9 looks exactly like ICS.
This port seems a lot of work considering that the motherboard of this device is completely different.
Hats of the developer named arco68 of this wonderful creation.
He says this in his post -
After over 3 months of work, 2 hard-bricks (and a few soft-bricks) and a lot of coffee, it's time to release the first alpha version of CM9 for the Samsung Galaxy W (GT-I8150). This is very much still work in progress, but it should be decent enough now that it's usable, if you don't heavily rely on the not working stuff.
What works in this ROM -
  • Audio
  • Receiving and making calls
  • GPS
  • Compass
