I have a rom on my phone ,it is going very smooth and looks nice too ,but i cannot add a baseband Does anyone please know how i can fix this problem please And just wondering why i don't an avatar i uploaded one ages ago
[Android Software Development] pocthird:
good and well explained

i'd like to know what would happen if i forget something or if i try to do the same thing using a rom from a different manufacturer , and what should i avoid touching ?
[Android Software Development] :
That would require writing a full fledged tutorial. You just need to read a LOT of guides on xda. There is no perfect answer. It is all trial and errors. Such guides can only help narrow things down some, but ultimately a logcat will be your friend. Forgetting something can have multiple results... Force closes, bootloops, errors, warnings, and it may sometimes not result in anything negative.

This is going to sound weird but when porting some Roms this is from experience with the xperia line, that porting stock gingerbread I have to take a free required. Png. Rtl files from my framework res apk and put them in the rom I'm porting I port for CDMA from GSM Roms cm 7 9 and 10 are easy to port for Me but stock 2.3.4 is a headache abs I still haven't fixed everything with the rom taking the files I need from CDMA to GSM fixed the problem I've had when using the power button on the xperia play it would cause my phone to reboot abs boot loop, but by adding the png. Rtl files to GSM framework res fixed that issue
[Android Software Development] :
Not bad, I recently ported 4.2.2 with Sense 5 GSM over to my device currently running 4.1.2 with Sense 4+ CDMA. Only problem was the lack of firmware files due to change in OS. Otherwise, it works.

How would I port WP7.5 to Android 2.3?

I am using a "HTC Titan II" and my base is an "OPPO Real R807". Both phones have these in common.

Resolution: 480 x 800 pixels

RAM: 512MB

CPU: Qualcomm MSM8255

I think the HTC Titan is an AMAZING phone and doesn't deserve to be left behind in the Windows Phone world..

Hello, I have a question, you say that we have to take ROM from the same CPU type, does it mean that it will work if I take a ROM from MTK6589 to MTK6582 ?
[Android Software Development] eragon5779:
Should be able to. Both are quad cores
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
Ok, so I did everything in the tuto, but I can't flash the .zip, it always gives me an error. I think it's because of the updater-script but as I'm a noob, I don't really understand how to change the port updater-script.

Please can someone help me ?

Here's my BASE updater-script : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-0xm8J4uES-bF9SVDM4dURHdEE/edit?usp=sharing

Here's my PORT updater-script : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-0xm8J4uES-ajZHdTlQMnFERmc/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
Anybody ?
[Android Software Development] eragon5779:
Can you post what the error is exactly?
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
If I remember, It was "bad data" or "wrong data", a thing like that.
[Android Software Development] eragon5779:
Never seen that error
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
I think it's because I copied/pasted bad lines from the base updater-script to the port updater-script. I would be pleased if someone modify my port updater-script for me... if you have time.
[Android Software Development] eragon5779:
"/emmc@android",

That is not used in the base. Your base use mmcblock instead. Make sure that the mount points are correct, then check your symlinks.
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
OK I'll try.
[Android Software Development] Atlantic_Rim:
OK so I did this, but when I try to flash, it says "opening update package", and then the recovery comes back to principal menu, and nothing happens :/

Edit : During the installation, the recovery says : " set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
[Android Software Development] Thomas_xxxxx:
Hi, you write that the phone I am porting from must have the same CPU type. What exactly does it mean? Is it enough that it both phones are e.g. ARMv7 or they have to have same manufacturer chipset, e.g. Broadcom. And what is your advice: From which phone take ROM when I want to port for Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus? Is Galaxy S2 plus good choice? Or tell me any other phone that should be appropriate. Thank you.
[Android Software Development] eragon5779:
Save architecture, same account of cores, etc. Something that's almost identical.
[Android Software Development] Thomas_xxxxx:

I want to ask with which device compatible kernel do I need. If the one I am porting from or with the one I am porting to.

Ok, I know probably that question is asked before but..

What can my phone get hurt if I port an rom from S4 to S3 and flash it?

What is the problem with cpu and resolution? I just say..it's just programming and java language there, where is the impossible?

I mean..we can port rom like lollipop 5.0 cyanogenmod to S3, and we can't port lollipop 5.0 touchwiz to S3 from S4? (just example)

Hello to everyone who is reading this

I'm doing a porting of the FlyMe OS for the S3 Neo and I have some big problems with the updater-script of the ported rom... The kitchen made the port well but it says that there are parts that it can't do (and it put the ??? where it don't knows what to write). I tried to fix it but the original s3 neo updater-script is a way different from the ported script... So... If there is everyone who can resolve my problem... Please help me...

Here the link where you can download both updaters: https://mega.co.nz/#F!Zh1xTYIB!A6s6dpXv5UkcTRiBlpQycQ

Base roms and stock roms

Just a quick question

My device, the unlocked htc desire 610 is rooted with twrp, but it doesnt have any custom roms yet (except for the stock rom) and i want to port Cyanogenmod to this device, but like I told you, there was no rom built for my device before. So can I use the stock rom as the base and use the one mini's cm rom I am using to port? And also, does your new rom have to be flashed via clockworkmod or can i just flash it from twrp?

Thanks

[Android Software Development] Kdom81:
Quote:

In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).

Help..... My base ROM doesnt seem to have this META-INF folder??

This step seems very important and not to be skipped!?

Even if I make a CWM backup this folder doesnt seem to exist :(

I am having an idea of porting J5 2015 6.0.1 system to Core Prime LTE (SM-G361F)

Would that still work on core prime. Please help me..
[Android Software Development] diabolicalprophecy:
porting rom is not just copy-paste job. you need to edit init.rc and other files inside boot.img, maybe even compile kernel from source . Else everyone would be doing it. This guide is incomplete.

How are the users supposed to find a phone from same manufacturer and with exactly same specs? Most of custom Rom users have discontinued hardware(in terms of updates from manufacturer). I have a phone with qualcomm snapdragon s3 SOC. Now where on earth would i find a similar device that is running android Nougat or marshmallow to port ? Whats the point in using your instructions if it only allow to port outdated OS?

There is a basic correction needed here. Port rom is Base Rom as per the original guide . The whole meaning changes. If you delete port Roms apps there is no meaning of porting. The original guide mentions both Roms correctly. But thanks for the guide .
