I want to port Android Marshmallow to my Nexus 4, and although I am aware that there are numerous downloads available where people have already done just that, I would like to do it on my own. Could I use this method to do so or would that require something greater?
[Android Software Development] Rapha88:
From Lollipop forward, system has become very large (~ 2Gb), and thus a new compression method was needed. You still can extract it by following those steps.

1. Install "Python 3.x" on your pc and download "Ext2Explore"

2. Extract the these files from the rom:

"system.transfer.list"

"system.new.dat"

3. Open "cmd" and use the following command:

sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img

4. After the file "system.img" is created, run Ext2Explore as adiministrador.

3. Click "Open Image", in the right screen, select the file and then click "Save" and choose where the rom will be extracted.

I am trying to get from Samsung Galaxy A7(SM-A700H) 5.0.2 rom to Run on the (SM-A7000). The later don't have Google Apps. The file structure of the Stok does not look like that. I have a system.img.ext4 in the A700HXXU1BPB2_A700HOJVU1BPB1_A700HXXU1BOF7_HOME.tar.md5 file.

I can mount the system.img.ext4 in ubuntu and get the same file structure. but it is read only and gives me errors when I copy between the two images.

if one of you sessoned developers can help and port the files over It would really make my day.

Hey bro, i flashed aosp extended and resurrection remix unofficial version both with nougat in my Micromax canvas fire 4 a107. All was good but whenever i made a call after 10 to 20 seconds of calling my both sim networks would go nil and call would auto disconnect. Doing *#*#4636#*#* and changing wcdma preferred to gsm auto prl would extend call upto 2 minutes and again network would go and again checking in *#*#4636#*#* would show network mode wcdma preferred again. Is there any way to fix it?

when it is released some one will already have a deodexed zip of the system dump so that you can look through and port it

Or a ruu which all you would have to do is run and type %TEMP%

And all you will have to do is download load and do this port method all

I was looking into porting a rom like miui from the Samsung galaxy s2 i9100 to the captivate glide i927, does a cm9 / 10 rom have to be used as the base or can I use a stock deodexed rom? Our cm10 is still a WIP!

Thanks
[Android Software Development] rishabh.raj37:
No you cannot use Your stock deodexed ROM as base..

You will have to use the base ROM same as that of the ported ROM's base...
[Android Software Development] Ghostfreak NB:
Can any kind soul tell me any phone which is not Xperia and is similar to Xperia Neo V?in resolution as I think that needs to be same!

So that maybe I could use this guide or rishab's guide to do a port!

Coz many or almost all Rom from Xperia have been ported to all Xperia range!

And I wanted a new look for my Rom!

Ty in adv
[Android Software Development] dbrannon79:
I'm just making sure I understand correctly! sorry I had "port" and "base" backwards! I understood that the "working" rom needs to be the same version, (ics port to ics base) if rooted stock cant be used, what needs to be changed in a stock rooted rom for it to work?

the only reason I'm asking is because all hardware is working with the rooted stock! we're very grateful to some of the collective devs bringing us an unofficial cm10! it's still a work in progress, I could use it as a starting point but would have to do the work again once they finish!

I would like to build from source, but I am encountering several errors in the makefile scripts provided in the miui patchrom source. since I am not an experienced dev, it's beyond me as to what to do to fix these scripts! following some of these other guides to the "T" gets me invalid error and file not found commands in terminal!

The main reason I am attempting this it to have a simple ics rom that holds the ability to install themes that are made for a theme engine like cm9, 10 and aosp straight from the system settings instead of just theming a launcher like apex or go launcher!

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] <JohnCarter>:
to be very clear stock roms cannot be used you need to have a aosp,cm or aokp base

and for porting miui well all you can do is to port to your cm 10 while it is a wip & and upload newer builds as your cm 10 is fixed

xperia devices flash the kernel before flashing rom so they don't have boot.img
