Here is a quick guide that is PRETTY reliable by ET4G

-------------------------------

This for now is for aosp/ maybe touchwiz.......

-------------------------------

First things first

Find a Base From and The From you want to port......

----------------------------

Make sure these devices are extremely similar or else you have to do framework edits/resizing and other stuff

So if you want to port use something close for the epic

Like international sgs2

------------------------------

Next.....

Go into system of from you plan to port......

And take the

System/apps

System/framework

System/fonts

And system/media

And replace the same files in the base from for those......

SO AGAIN MOVE THOSE FILES FROM PORT TO THE BASE

----------------------------

Next .......

Go into xbin and replace su

----------------------------

Next.......

Go into libs and replace

libandroid_runtime.so

*****Also make sure you dont mismatch your libraries....easiest way to make an unstable rom(they must be built to match eachother)****

----------------------------

After that......

Go into build prop with Linux or windows if using windows get the program notepad++

Change the

ro.build.id

ro.build.display.id

ro. build.incremental

All to that of the port....

-----------------------------

Now go into updater script in

Meta-inf/Google/android

Nothing really has to be changed for now.......

If you would like to make it fancy

U can go into notepad++

And edit it

For example

Add a line in front of the first and type

ui_print("");

ui_print("");

ui_print("Whatever you want");

ui_print("");

ui_print("like your username");

ui_print("");

ui_print("info on the rom");

ui_print("");

ui_print("whatever");

ui_print("");

ui_print("");

Just make sure you don't write anywhere you want or replace something..........

Will result in status 6 or 7 error in cwm

--------------------------

Now zip up that file and flash.......

If the phone doesn't go past boot animation

Connect to PC while in animation

.......

Make sure you have adb and type

adb logcat d> logcat.txt

And a txt file will save to where sdk is located

-------------------------

If it says there is a lib missing in Debug

Just replace FROM PORTED AS WELL.....

--------------------------

And your good to go

-------------------------

Guys I'm open to questions Just Ask

Would it be possible to port a SGS3 Touchwiz ROM? I would love to give that a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] et4g:
hey guys

1. the base kernel should be fine

you shouldnt have to edit the ramdisk in aosp ports

2. this is a porting guide for aosp

Touchwiz maybe different porting steps but its always worth a try be careful
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhadamg:
EDIT: Just figured out what it was: Viber. Exiting the app shut down the sensor. Looked into the App comments on Play Store, another guy using Galaxy S2 also confirmed that.

I don't know why, but my light sensor (near the Motorola's A logo) is on. Its kinda of a LED, but very very weak. In a day usage, its almost 'normal', barely visible. But at night, I can see the light coming from it. I thought it was TopSmarts rom bug, but it wasn't. The only thing that comes in my mind is that a few days ago my touch had a problem and I flashed the pdsfix.img. Anyone else had this problem too? Maybe its related to the pdsfix?

When inside the CWM Recovery, the sensor doesnt emit light. Just when the Android is fully booted.

By the way, the proximty sensor is acting as it should be and the light sensor too.

Which sensor is on:

Why exactly did you bother posting this?
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Just giving my opinion only.

If CM10 on the One X was stable and had good battery life, like it does on my Nexus, then for sure I much prefer stock Jellybean on the One X, it is a nicer phone, and is very fast and smooth.

But CM10 on the One X, is a ways off from being solid with battery life, I am sure needs a good month of development time still, and we shall see from there...but the developers working on CM10 ROM's for the HoX are very smart and good guys, they will figure it out sooner than later I am sure, and it will be just as good as Sense based ROM's hopefully.

Now if the Nexus 5 rumors are true, which says it will be a HTC One X+ type of phone, I would welcome that BIG TIME, it is a very nice phone, just needs stock vanilla Android made specifically for it, and S-Off.

For me a tech nerd, it seems stock Android is best, no need for Sense or Touchwiz anymore, they get in the way, and are bloated, and look outdated actually still. Both Sense 4 and Touchwiz 5 look like Gingerbread skins. I think Google really upped their game with ICS 4.0 and more so with JB 4.1. And with Android 4.2 coming in the new Nexus this November / December, why even bother with other UI's ?
[HTC One X] leventccc:
I agree with you. AOSP/CM/AOKP/PNA doesn't matter which one I use. Battery really sucks. I lose %1 per minute and almost same on every kernel. When I was using Galaxy S (I9000) cm based roms battery was much better than touchwiz baseds. I don't understand why cm roms really suck at battery.

[HTC One X] hamdir:
no I loved reading this

your comments about the screen, battery life on sense, design and cm10 being nexus four are spot on

its his choice if he didn't like sense though

I'm on the opposite camp, I tried stock JB on my nexus 7 and felt aosp overhyped n not nearly as useful as sense, in terms of design I found it very dark and too empty, my n7 is now up for sale

I also have no problem with the official unlock method since I'm no fan of flashing all the time

but very fair and well reasoned review

Edit: yes stock brightness
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
I am not rolling, just giving my honest opinion of the two phones. I am no Samsung fanboy by any means, I prefer a HTC Nexus phone. But if you want to run stock Jellybean 4.1.1 or CM10, and have stability with great battery life, the Galaxy Nexus is that phone. I wish the One X ran it as smooth and good, but right now it does not. Maybe some day in the near future the One X will, but right now by nexus does it better, with zero issues, and good battery life

I am hoping the new Nexus phone due out soon, will be an HTC device and not Samsung
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Sckank that is great. Which ROM + kernel ?
[HTC One X] crislevin:
I don't really get the urge to have latest offering from google. I guess its fun for some people to really play with it, for me, its just a phone and I just use it.

JB or not is not a problem for me, function wise, I found touchwiz UI most convenient, with all the handy controls in the pull down menu. Google's UI is simple, and doesn't do much. It also has no built-in flash.

I do like SuperAMOLED screen, I have a galaxy tab 7.7, the color contrast is amazing, but pentile really sucks.
[HTC One X] Sckank:
IceColdJelly and the stock kernel that goes with it. :thumbup:

Edit : my mistake thats AOKP
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
To be honest, pure ics is ugly to me. I love to flash roms and now i m trying to make my own rom. People talk about fast and smooth UI, well i got that using Launcher go in my atrix, and also with the froyomod in my motorola milestone 1. But i would like to see something like sense in google devices or samy phones, with sony games. I love phones that r not similar to others, nexus and sg3 r sinónimo of boring phone.

With hox i have no worry about extra apps like launchers, music apps, widget of the weather.

Thats why people like u keep coming to hox forum. And every time u mention sg3..u start saying.. "my wife, my sister, my little brother". Just think about it. ;):)

[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Playing with both phones tonight, and my God the One X screen is jaw dropping good, way better than the Nexus.

I just really hope CM10 ROM's for the One X can get as stable as a stock Nexus.

i really think you should give Sense a chance

Look if it was a tablet i would say "why sense!" but this is first and formost a smartphone and HTC knows their ****, they've been doing smartphones before everyone else

Sense makes you smartphone life much better and easier, the social intergation is amazing, all the free widgets and apps like HTC gallery are first of their class, calling and contact functions, text predictions and selection tools are all excellent and much better than AOSP

as for the UI design you can change skins, download and even buy some from virtuous on the play store, it looks fresh, bright and no longer as old fashioned as Sense 3.x and by the way HTC is dumping their green for cyan in the upcoming JB update which helps it feel like android even more

Pure andorid is so simple and empty, it almost feels like google is just being lazy

as for CM10 i have long concluded its a software port, it will always be just that, its made by community effort, you can never expect to be as reliable as the software provided by the OEM, CM on a Nexus device makes sense since they have the kernel source and OS already AOSP to begin with. A very prime example is the Image sense chipset which gives the One X camera its abilities like the burst speed, HDR etc it's source is closed for now.

all im saying you obviously like the phone, it's screen, CPU, GPU, IO speed, camera, build and design are all so much ahead of the GNEX, try to let go of the "AOSP" myth and you might find a lot to like in the UI or at the least enjoy a change ;)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
Hi, folks!

Last may I purchased one I927R from a store in Toronto. It was unlocked by the store (they never gave me the unlock codes) and it worked wonders with my brazilian SIM.

Yesterday, all of a sudden, it was locked again. Asking for Network Unlock Code. I have tried two unlocked methods already:

1) One seller from ebay.ca, the response was: code not found.

2) FastGSM unlock data cable method: it was not able to root and failed to no avail.

Does anyone know what can I do to unlock this phone? It is the 2.3.5 stock Rogers (unrooted).

If possible, I would like an unlock method that I could use multiple times, in order to change my ROM -- I finally want to try ICS.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
Everything you need is available readily with a modicum of searching.

In a nutshell: Odin to flash CWM, then a superuser zip, and lastly two guides to unlock, one which leaves you with the "generic" IMEI or mine which leaves your IMEI intact.

Besides, you'll need many of these things to start dabbling in ROM flashing anyway.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
I know this is not an excuse, but my english kinda sucks. So I probably wasn't able to express myself properly.

What I meant with my post was: has anyone faced this (auto-relock) before?

I thought this unlock method (buying codes) was bullet proof and yet, two of them failed me. I am scared to death that perhaps my phone is lost.

I'm using your guide right now (rapidshare is giving me a hard time downloading the rooted version of our ROM) and hoping that this will unlock it.

As soon as I have any results, I will post them here.

Thanks for your pointers and your how-to! :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
What's your native language ? If you speak spanish, maybe I can give a more accurate answer :)

PD: Don't worry, the same thing (Auto re-lock) happened to me before, just search for leandro_max, on ebay, I bought him a code when my Glide re-locked itself back in June, it cost about 7 bucks, and apparently he is the only seller that have 100 % functional unlock codes for the Glide, all of the users that got his code from him, have succesed re-unlocking their phones, but let me tell you this, you better keep your unlock code in your wallet, because the Glide seems to have the habit of re-locking itself constantly.

If you ask me, your better option is to follow the Bit-Flip tutorial, and unlock trough software, that way, your Glide will never re-lock again.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
Portuguese is my native language (I'm from Brazil). My spanish sucks too.. heh.

Yes, I have tried leandro_max, but he doesn't do anything other than AT&T. :(

Well, I managed to install the leaked ICS -- still locked of course. CMWR and LiteROM installed as well. Everything went surprisingly smooth. Now the hard part: edit the nv_data.bin. Let's see if I can handle that. :)

Thanks!! :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
Darkshado,

I'm trying your HOW-TO on LiteROM (I wasn't able to root GB -- the root ROM at rapidshare.com looks like it's corrupted), and everything goes according to the plan, even the offsets are EXACTLY as you wrote. Although, like a Highlander, the phone is able to restore the binary every single time.

Plus, my nv.log doesnt show any info about the md5, so I had to generate it on Linux (I wonder if the processors differ on md5 hash). Also, I have noticed some .nv_data.bak on /efs... I have tried to erase it, didn't work. So I decided to replace it... and the phone manages to restore the .bin.

shell@android:/efs # cat nv.log

cat nv.log

Sun Sep 30 02:11:14 2012: fail - no checksum info

Sun Sep 30 02:11:15 2012: NV backup has been rebuilt

Sun Sep 30 02:26:49 2012: checksum fail.

Sun Sep 30 02:26:50 2012: NV backup has been rebuilt

Sun Sep 30 02:26:50 2012: NV restored 2

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
Make sure you haven't messed up the IMEI on the phone before going any further, or restore your backup as necessary. Do not mess around with the NV backups, they are there for a reason after all.

You can't generate the md5 hash on another device because its "salted" i.e. it has an unknown seed that alters the output. That's why there's all that nv.log hooplah.

Double check the permissions and ownership settings for the files in /efs.

The first line in your NV log says: no checksum info, which is unusual. If the file is there, it can't be read by (I think) rild. The following "checksum fail" error is different from the "MD5 fail" in my unlock, which means its either not the same error, or not the same binary that outputs to the log and this one is less verbose, a problem.

If you want to try again with the stock Rogers ROM with root: reflash the official ROM with Odin, flash CWM, and install either ChainsDD or Chainfire's su from CWM.

In the case of most Samsung devices, as long as you can flash CWM, there's usually little point in using exploits and such to get root.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
You're wrong about leandro_max, I have the Rogers version, and the code he sold me worked just fine, the fact that the title of his article on ebay doesn't say "Rogers" doesn't mean it doesn't work with thar version of the Glide, I can confirm it does :) Of course, you have to tell him when he asks for your IMEI that your phone it's the Rogers version ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
I did ask him about this, he replied:

I am waiting for a code and still playing with Bit Flip.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] felangom:
Since I made a good backup of /efs, I'm somewhat more confident with playing with these files.

The permissions/ownership of the files are perfect, there is no reason for it not being able to read those. The only explanation is that I'm doing this on ICS, and maybe it changed the verbosity or log output.

I'll downgrade to stock ROM (2.3.5) today and try it again.

Thanks a lot!!! :)

i only was wondering if the GNEX meid (9xxx kind) is possible to be compatible with (Axxx kind) i dont want to do it or nothing but, i mean, i only was thinking on that b/c the gnex has a IMEI and i was wondering if there can be any kind of conflicts between the (Axxx meid and the 9xxx imei), ex the imei of the gnex is 9xxxxxxxxxxxxx and the meid is 9xxxxxxxxxxxxx but if you got a imei of 9xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and a meid of Axxxxxxxxxxxxx there can be conflicts with that?, i mean technically i know you only can get text 3g speeds (not 4g b/c the imei isnt the same and couldnt be activate b/c the parameters doesnt match) and calls but the big question is if there can be conflicts between the meid and the imei because they are from different nomenclature? or for someting else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] et4g:
No its not but with a HEX editor stuff can be changed;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Not sure what you want to do, but just thought I'd let you know that altering an IMEI is both illegal in places, and can seriously gerfungle-up your phone. Also, the gnex IMEI has an MD5 checksum based on an unknown random seed, so it's pointless to change it with a hex editor. It will just revert to a generic IMEI that some carriers block.

what, exactly, is it about the AOSP texting apk that causes picture messages to not work? is there just no way to fix it?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
From my understanding, mms requires something in the sense framework to work properly. I think it is the same reason why voicemail notifications come in as text messages on AOSP Roms.

Posted using Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Yes its true that most aosp roms have borked mms picture. Also the fact that ics won't allow third party apps to write to the apn xml file which is where the mms setting are located. Even on sense unless you know your msl code and then you can write to those settings in epst. But if you know what the settings are, you could make a copy of that file which is located in system/etc folder and put it on your computer. Edit the settings on a notepad application. Save it. Then put it back on your sdcard and copy back in its original location. If that don't work you could try go sms and that'll let you use mms picture. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
thanks for the replies. i was just wondering because i love the aosp mesaging app but won't use it cuz no mms. i just like the way it looks ya know? i wish we had better AOSP roms to use. my next phone will be a nexus for sure. my Nexus 7 has spoiled me.
