I have a question if you do not mind answering. I have a stock rom, (samsung running 4.4.4), and i am trying to port cyanogenmod from another variant. It is similar in every respect hardware wise, i just am wondering if i need to unpack the boot image from both roms and edit the base to match the bootclass path of the port rom. Is this required to get it past the initial samsung logo into the os? Or do i need to do something else to make it work? (oh, and the cyanogenmod rom is cm 11).

[Android General] AsCi1:
I wish to port SlimKat ROM to Lenovo a6000.

The closest device I can port from might be Motorola Moto G 4G.

But the CPU & GPU is different. The screen size is also different but the resolution is same.

What steps will I have to undertake to be able to port the ROM?

OK, Guys & Gals. Listen to me:

First of all lets read the title. Hm? Shall we? Alright. OK. It says:

I'm sorry, but you probably didn't get what I was trying to say. I'm totally on your side. Sorry for the rude language or anything. I was just trying to defend you and the authenticity of this thread.

Trust me, I'm all in favor or this thread and all the content you've made available, and I thank you for sharing it.

I have nothing against you or your work. ;)

And if everything goes right (and with a little help of another member) I might even be able to get CM7 on my explorer, so I'm thankful for this tutorial and all the help you've been giving us.

Keep it up ;)

Thank you so much for this guide! It's very helpfull. I hope it works and someday I'll be able to be an expert and "write" some custom cool roms ;)
[Android General] mj.vikram:
Hi,

First of all thank you for making such a nice guide..:)

I've tried this process by taking the one custom ROM as BASE and CM7 of other device which is having the same chipset as of mine i have done all the things which you have mentioned in the OP, after flashing the new ROM my mobile is not even booting:(:(.... any thing else i need to do for porting CM7 of other device to my device other than what you have mentioned in the OP.....
[Android General] iok1:
You have to build cm7 from source to make it work on your device. But if there is a cm7 for your device, use it as base. You can't port cm7

This is just the same guide over and over again...

[Android General] jmz:
This is the absolute single most important thing in the entire thread. If you do not currently have an aosp kernel for your device this guide is 100% useless to you until you have a proper kernel. You CANNOT use a sense kernel on a aosp rom or vice versa. That is the point most of you are missing. Some other devices outside of HTC you might get lucky with the kernel. But never will you be able to use the sense kernel on aosp.

The OP is a good writeup but people really need to realize the point I made above.

Happy porting....

Hi, i have read all the thread but i'm bit confused, so just some questions...

The BASE rom is my rom, for examples the stock of my smartphone, instead the PORTED is the rom that i like to port, right?

Then, my Galaxy W hasn't a cm7, so can i try to port a cm7 rom from another device with ARMv7, like Galaxy S, using as base my stock rom?

And i need to use a custom kernel or can i use the stock kernel from the base rom?
[Android General] prince147:
Nope!!! You can't PORT cm7 not now not ever!!....

Cm7 has to built from source!!

Hey, I managed to port JoyOS ROM from Samsung Nexus S to Samsung Galaxy S by using CM7.1 stable with your guide mate :D. But I'm expecting an issue: android.process.acore FCs repeatedly and the phone is like unusable. Do you know a way to fix it? Thanks man :).

I already tried deodexing and zipaligning the ROM but no luck :(.
[Android General] jmz:
Actually you couldn't be more wrong. Technically you can port anything as long as you have the correct kernel. If you have a aosp kernel you can port cm7 using this guide
[Android General] prince147:
I'm keeping it cool mate!! We need not scam this post again!!! Already cleaned once !!

And kernel is not a problem I think!!! First ask some dev to build a nightly build of cm then enjoy porting! :)

Successfully ported LewaOS ROM to LG myTouch (e739)

Thanks for the tut!

Now, i will try to port MIUIv4.

Btw, does anyone know how to make a rom smaller in size?
[Android General] prince147:
Deodecing will help !!

Try using a small boot animation!!

And remove unnecessary apps in system!!
[Android General] medicjunKie:
Thanks.

It's because i had already made a MIUIv4 for my device, except it wouldn't boot.

So maybe the rom size could be the problem.

I'll have to try again.
[Android General] prince147:
I'm pretty sure that size ain't a problem in not booting!!
[Android General] medicjunKie:
Probably lol

I'll have to start from scratch.
[Android General] Beastmode:
Try flashing your miui v4 and getting a logcat to see why it wont boot :)

-sent from my POS i897

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
[Android General] medicjunKie:
I tried.

No logcat.

I had read a logcat appeared once the bootanimation started.

But my device stays with a blackscreen right before the bootanimation.

It's most probable i did something wrong. I know myself lol

So i will try all over again.
[Android General] jmz:
Size is always a problem. If the rom you are trying to put on the device is too large you will be missing files. Hence no booting. No recovery currently can detect if rom is too large
[Android General] Beastmode:
you can still logcat before boot animation, you can also pull out the last_kmsg logs for you to see what went wrong :D
[Android General] medicjunKie:
How?
[Android General] Beastmode:
have you tried adb shell logcat while stuck in that black screen? does it bootloop? also if your recovery has adb commands enabled you can always do this

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.log

to pull out the log

Hi all

have been on these forums for quite a while but browsing etc etc

It seems my D3 does not want to record video with any app other than the standard camcorder :/

3rd party apps record no problem, but video comes out green and pink and you can not make out the video - like a missing or broken codec on a PC sorta thing.

Does anyone have an idea why ? does D3 use a strange codec that other cameras do not have

If so can I install codecs somehow ?

Phone is XT862, 5.6.890, Android 2.3.4

It is rooted, also I safe mode between ICS and stock but had this problem as long as I can recall.

Any info would be handy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Elbob10s:
Is anyone able to connect at higher than 72 Mbps? I Googled up an old forum post where they thought there might be a hardware limit? I just got a 802.11n router recently but I've yet to connect higher than 65 or 72.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hellot1M:
Try messing with the settings on your router. I spent nearly an hour one day on my wireless N router and was able to get further reception. Never messed with the speed as too its not really an issue. 65mbs is WAY more than enough for a mobile phone. But if its that important to you I think it really won't matter how much faster you make it because the speed at which the sdcard can write data can't keep up with the data speeds of a high speed home data connection of about 10-20m anyway. Already I'm able to download at about 1.2mbs on large files which is the same speed as my computer when downloading large files.

Point is... no matter what you do to increase the wifi speeds on your router or your phone won't make a difference
[HTC Inspire 4G] Elbob10s:
Computers connect to the router at 150+ so I'm pretty sure it's setup correctly.

I know it will only effect in-network activities, but I was just wondering if there was a reason I couldn't get it to go past 72.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hellot1M:
The photon supports up to 150. You could try going into your router settings and change the rate from auto to 150 turn your wifi off then on after your router sets and see if you get the 150 connection. It may also have to do with the rom. The photon also supports 5ghz wifi connections but on cm9 we are stuck using 2.4 because the setting to change the frequency is missing
[HTC Inspire 4G] hellot1M:
Lol oops forgot I'm on the inspire thread. I'm not sure If the inspire supports 5ghz frequencies. Go to wifi, then hit menu and go to advance settings. There might be an option to switch between the two settings. Also on your router mess with the channels. I have had better luck on 9 than 11 with getting over 72. Also make sure the channel width is 40mhz only. The 20mhz can support up to 150mps but if your phone don't need it it will not force it. The radio on nearly all smart phones are automatic which means it will do what it thinks is best for your phone. Some roms I have seen on other devices have forced settings for wifi which gives much more control over how the phone reads from the router.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtr_golf:
It looks like a limitation of Android device since I have 2 devices max out only 72Mbps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psyke777:
There are a number of limitations that stop extra fast speeds on 802.11n.

1) Antennas

1 antenna = max 150 Mbps

2) Congestion

If you are in a busy area (like suburbia, 2.4 Ghz is used by more than just WiFi too) you will not get the 40 Mhz bandwidth for 150 Mbps, it will drop back to 20 Mhz bandwidth which means 72.2 Mbps maximum.

3) Guard Interval

If the distinct transmissions between between both units are not making it through, the Guard Interval will be doubled from 400 nanoseconds to 800 nanoseconds. Maximum now possible is 65 Mbps.

Most people will never see more than 72 Mbps on one antenna.

More: Wikipedia: 802.11n, "Data rates"
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I max out around 35mbps of real throughput

Hey guys,

I saw on the thread OP said to increase performance disable journaling, so I did. rebooted my phone and it would say "No SIM card inserted" when it was working just before the flash.I tried reinserting sim and enabling journaling but nothing works. I have restored to a backup I made fortunately(CM9).But even that is not recognising my sim. Please help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I never have any issues with any other apps after I restore via CWM. The XDA App though is always a problem. I bought the Premium version through Amazon and use it now as I'm on AOKP. When I was on UnNamed before, I had a ICS themed version from one of the theme devs. I still have that apk.

I recently went back for just an hour to my UnNamed backup and now I'm back into AOKP. I cannot for the life of me get the app to reinstall. The shorcut says 'App isn't installed' and whether I try to install the themed version or the version from Amazon, both come back and say 'X Application not installed'.

I see no reference of it anywhere in my apps list and no option to remove it. Even TiBu won't restore it - it stalls out. No apk in /data/app.

Any ideas?

[EDIT] I went through via Root Explorer and removed everything I could find doing a search for 'XDA' that looked like it might be some rogue file left behind and removed it. Yeah that did nothing.

Oh and one last thing, this has been an ongoing issue from when I was on UnNamed as well. Back whenever I'd do a complete wipe and restore, XDA would always need to be reinstalled. I can't think of ONE time where it worked perfect.

I am unable to get XDA premium to install after flashing an ics rom. I even went back to Gingerbread and it still wont install. Ive just settled on using the free version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Yeah I went back to GB last night and was unable to install my ICS Premium themed version (apk on sd card) but the Premium version on Amazon installed fine. This issue has me baffled beyond belief...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
So I finally found the source of the problem. Because I bought the App from Amazon, each and every time I do a restore, the Amazon Store info for whatever reason gets screwed up. The system thinks it's still installed yet it's nowhere to be found.

The long and short of it is that you have to 'Clear Data' in 'Manage Applications' for the Amazon App. After doing this, log back in and the XDA App then shows back up as 'Install' instead of 'Open'. Pretty screwy but it works.
