You don't have to transfer the boot.img or update.sh correct? As mentioned above I am going to attempt to port over aospa and as mentioned using 10.1 for the base. Both are 4.2, 480x800, etc.

Now when I attempted awhile back with same steps but different ROM. I could not get it to boot. As why I am checking that the update.sh or anything I'm missing should be transferred as well. Sorry for the novel, trying to get it right this time around lol :thumbup::D:beer:

Thanks in advance

Hi.

Is it posiable to port cm10 over cm9?

I have a working cm9 but i want to port cm10 to milestone xt720.

Port would be from the milestone.

Thanks !
[Android Software Development] LasVegasRomeo:
Pretty sure you would have to go off a cm10 based ROM... There different partitioning layout and everything.

hi, one question.

i have a Galaxy Ace Plus, the stock firmware being 2.3.6 but im now running cm10.1, this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201821

because the dev can't really work to the rom (because he doesn't have the device) i was thinking i could do something.

he is working to a VERY similar device like mine (galaxy mini 2) and their cm10.1 is a lot better

i was wondering if i could port his cm10.1 from s6500 to my s7500, using the PORT, the actual cm10.1

BUT their cm has a different kernel (3.x)

i will try but someone can tell me if it works? or should i build another cm 10.1 as i can try?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2456907 <-- Thats THEIR cm10.1
[Android Software Development] <JohnCarter>:
Kernel shouldn't pose much a problem as in my device cm10.1 can be run both on 2.6x and 3.0.x but yes if the rom on mini 2 had some 3.x specific changes that may be a problem.. but since you have same resolutions.. you can try prting taking your cm10.1 as a base ;)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] outerspacekaloy:
Hello! This is my first time to post here (so sorry if I posted at the wrong forum).

My Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wi-Fi (P7310) with Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) has a google map that keeps crashing. Due to irritation, I uninstalled the updates. The google maps crsshing stopped but it lead to downgrading the device as (a whole, I guess).

Now ALL my apps that were downloaded or updated via Google Play Store keeps crashing. I had to reinstall some (because those are what I need) but I don't have time to do that with all my other apps. I tried upgrading it to a stock Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) thinking I did a soft-brick but it didn't work.

Is there an easier way (than reinstalling them one by one) to solve this? Either an app, or rooting or so. (by the way my device hasn't been rooted yet).

Thanks and have a great day!

Moved for better assistance, Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
Without root I don't think there's much you can do other than a factory reset. If you had root I'd suggest booting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik to start with. If that didn't fix it you could wipe system and reflash a ROM without wiping your data (apps). If that still didn't work you could install Titanium Backup, backup all your apps, do a factory reset, and reinstall all your apps at once.

But without root, suck it up and factory reset. That's the best advice I've got.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoktronic:
I am hoping someone here can help. I have the OG Samsung Captivate. I upgraded to the latest OS (stock rom) & the phone is rooted. I did all this well over 2 months ago. Everything has worked fine except today. I went to make a call and it rebooted on me. After the reboot it locks up while scanning media files. I do not have an extra SD card installed. If I try and reboot it again after the lockup I get the android system recovery screen. Below is what is shows.

__ Copy media files...

Successfully copied media files.

# Manual Mode #

__ Appling Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi_CSC

Applied the CSC-code 'ATT'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I have no idea why it is doing this. If I try to reboot it keeps doing the same thing. On the nd scanning of media files it locks up. Sceen will not dim, buttons are not responsive.

Is there an OTA update that ATT pushed somehow? Did my phone brick without me knowing it? Did it just up and die?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I did some googling because I have no idea what that message means and after doing some reading I am no closer to telling you what that recovery text means. However, I did read a couple that said doing a factory reset from recovery did in fact allow them to reboot.

That being said since you are rooted there should be a way in recovery to mount your internal SD card to your PC. If you don't do it regularly I would mount the SD and backup anything on there thats important to you. I would then suggest you do a factory reset from recovery and see if that allows you to boot.

If all else fails I suggest using a one-click back to stock which will completely wipe and reinstall the software.
