well i am tying to port euphoria rom for htc one x from lg p880 ...i downloaded the zip files and unziped it

but in the system folder there is only boot.img and no other file all the system is compressed in a system.new.dat file how should i port now ??pls help

Thank you
[Android Software Development] TechGeekD:
1)All you gone need is SystemExtractor

2)Which will extract .DAT file and you will get system files extracted

3)then just use this extracted system along with boot.img to build your ROM

4)and ya you will gone need new updater_script as updater_script within euphoria Is lollipop version updater_script

5)so to flash ROM with extracted system as we use to do before lollipop version you will need new updater_script,extracted system.new.dat & boot.img !

6)you can use android script creator for getting new updater_script ! ;)
[Android Software Development] Tanuj97:
i dont think i am going to need new updater_script coz i am using cm12.1 as my base rom which is too lollipop

And thanks for your help

i could use android kitchen to port roms too . Just got to know now :p
[Android Software Development] TechGeekD:
Actually you're gone need new updater_script if you only extract .DAT file and just use it as kitkat way with extracted system folder,boot.img

But if you extract the .DAT file and modify the system folder and repack it back as .DAT file then you're not gone need new updater_script
[Android Software Development] Tanuj97:
pls suggest me a system extractor that can extract and compress .dat file

Your guides have been helpful

Thank you for taking the time to make this quick and dirty guide for us. I've read numerous tutorials but my problem is that I'm trying to port MT6735 12.1 from MT67355.1 but there are a couple of differences from your kit kat guides like priv-apps which I assumed I would port over since i'm already porting over the apps folder. I can get the rom to boot all the way up until the "Android is optimizing screen" and then it just stays there forever. If I restart my device then it boot loops, how would you trouble shoot my problem? thank you for your help

which base rom ? and which Port rom should i take ? please help :) sry bad English
[Android Software Development] primski:
explain a noob please,

so if you want to compile a new aosp rom from the repo for your device, say a new phone, do drivers matter? like on pc? or is that not an issue ? what else is an issue? locked/unlocked bootloader? most of phones have locked bootloaders, right? so how does one unlock it?

i'm looking at these cheap chinese phones in the 150-200€ range. they look good on paper, octa core MTK, 3gb ram and such but software is usualy crap and there aren't many rom ports. i've read a few porting tutorials, like for CM and it doesn't include any driver reverse engineering heh, so that's good i think.

Hey bro, i want to ask you something.

I have Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F

I want to port AOSP rom from Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50LC

They are same devices but chipset is different

50LC have MT8735 and 50F have MT8161

Will this guide work? Also they are 64bit
[Android Software Development] Ali Haide 001:
No you can't if device processor is not similar.

Bro this guide is for porting rom for devices with exact similar specs.

Like the if the processor is snapdragon 808 for one device the other device for which you are porting rom must be same if not it won't work.

Yes i have heard that you can port roms for devices with different specs but it is harder than this.

Have a nice day.:highfive:

From 7.1.2 to 8

There is RR ROM based on Android 7.1.2 for my device. Is it possible to use a ROM based on Android 8?

For instance:

My device: Nubia Z11 mini S (Android 7)

Another device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Android 8)

I mean there is no ROM based on Android 8 for my device. So, can I jump from 7 to 8 using this method?

I like the very minimalist design of this case, but I don't like the XDA dev print out at the back.

So, I am thinking to buy this one and then put "dBrand skin" to cover it.

Do you think dBrand skin will fit?

Hey everyone.

I was just curious as to how Chrome can be so laggy, stuttery and unresponsive on our device, while the AOSP browser is so buttery smooth. Anyone have some insight?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jagoflax:
Yes, I'm agree with you, and I can add that the phone burns when you use Chrome more than 5 minutes .... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SahilC:
I hope they do something about it :(

They probably don't care too much about our underpowered devices though, anymore..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lieuwex:
I even hear that nexus 4 users are having a laggy experience with chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SahilC:
I don't know how Google can ship it as a stock app in such a state.. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I have stopped using Chrome. It lags like hell for me too. Stock browser it is for me! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
The day Chrome started making my launcher refresh on 4.1.2 on every exit...with one freaking tab was the day I stopped using it. My rom didn't even come with the stock browser, so I had to get an apk for it and install it. Works SO much better. I'm finding the new version of Chrome is starting to feel heavy on my Laptop. It's a few years old now but still, a laptop with this spec should not be lagging with a web browser. I think Chrome is going down the tubes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HesterPrynne:
In the Chrome settings under Developer Tools, uncheck "Tilt Scrolling". Just doing that improved the performance of Chrome on my toroplus a great deal.

hey all,

so i am incredibly new to this scene and just recieved my s4. i was preparing to flash a ROM onto my phone, and got it rooted and installed CWM.

I forgot to download the actual ROM zip file, and went into CWM via goo manager, wiped factory/data and cache. It was only AFTER i wiped everything that i realised i didnt download the ROM zip file, so i rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the start-up splash screen where it displays "Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505" and will not continue :crying:

I was running on stock, and had only rooted the phone.

PLEASE i urgently need to fix this ASAP. Help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Hi,

is there a Odin Version of the Rom you tried to flash? If yes, you could simply bring your device to download-mode and flash the Rom with Odin.

Alternatively search for a odin flashable Recovery and flash this first. Then you could boot to recovery and flash the zip of the Rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
i tried installing the liquid smooth rom, and from what i can see there is no odin version of the rom :\

Are you able to direct me to an Odin flashable recovery I can use?

im really stressing out about this

i'm in the process of downloading a stock firmware and will try to flash it on, but it's taking forever to download
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SORF:
I don't see why you can't boot again if you have only wiped the user data and cache, just press the home button for 10 seconds and see if it restarts with your reset stock firmware. Otherwise you can reboot into recovery and do the wipes again (not the option to install a new ROM), or put the ROM zip you want to flash on an SD card and then flash from the SD.

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norml:
You should of made a backup with CWM. That's what it's used for also, besides flashing .zips. Always make a backup that you can restore and keep an extra copy on ur computer and/or a usb drive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windozeanti:
You have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware from Sammobile website. Make sure you download the correct firmware for your phone.

Dont worry, your phone isn't brick. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
when i first did the wipe, i chose the option that i was going to install a new ROM. I'm now assuming that's where i made a mistake.

I did make a backup before i wiped everything onto my SD card, but now i can't even access that backup because it's saying there's nothing.

I've tried flashing a ROM onto it, but it says aborted.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Yes SORF ist right. It should boot into resetted stock firmware.

First try to copy the Rom to SD and then boot to recovery an try flashing it.

If booting to recovery doesn't work (but it should work if you just wiped user data and cache) you should try flashing new recovery with odin.

You could use Philz recovery for GT-I9505 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281367

Installation Instructions for installation with odin you find here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39433857&postcount=4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
Thanks, that's what I'm doing right now, but the file is about 1.8GB and taking so long to download...

i wish there was a faster server, but this is the only option i could find :\
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Have you tried to boot into recovery again and then flash your already downloaded rom from sd? So you don't have to download a complete sammy rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
yes i have tried that, and it says that install aborts.

Also when i re-wipe everything and then try to reboot, it says my device is missing root.

When i try to re-root, and the device reboots, it gets stuck on the intro screen again so the root doesn't actually complete installing
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
have you fixed it yet?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
so im going to try a different ROM other than the liquid smoothe one i wanted (since it keeps saying aborted)

question: does it matter if i use ANY s4 ROM regardless of carrier? I'm from Australia and there is no specific carrier for my phone on xda
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Why does it fails to install? Are there any more error messages?

Also you can try the point "Fix Permissions" under Advanced Options. This could help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
try something lite like miui - it will save you time on download and is a good solid base to work from. dont flash the lite gapps without a reboot.

for a solid Sami based rom then i suggest using GoldenEye.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suwidji:
ok so i went ahead and found the cyanogenmod one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317040

and installed this and it works :)

though i dont like the look of this ROM lol, i prefer something a little more stock looking.

Any recommendations?

When reflashing a new ROM, what is the process i need to follow?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Cyanogenmod is themeable. So you could search for a stock like theme and install that.

If you like an overall more stock rom try scottyf79's recommendation.

If you want to flash a complete new Rom first copy zip onto sd, then boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, then falsh zip file.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SORF:
Try the Omega Roms. They are close to stock.

Closest to stock are the prerooted DJembey ROMs (the CWM ones) or the Wanam Lite ROM (it's what I am on now)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
personally -

i use Philz recovery

before install of a new rom - i use the "new rom" wipe option rather than the normal data,cache and dalvik wipe (it does this but adds in some extra steps)

then flash the rom of choice

if you get any other messages before reboot - select no

like i said before, if you want a stock looking Sami rom then try Golden Eye.

Hey everyone! So looking over my bill, I noticed something, I only used 23MB of my data. While in fact I actually logged closer to 23Gigs that billing cycle, only 23MB was over my network. Between work, home, the gym, and friend's houses, I'm almost always connected to Wi-Fi. I will be completely dropping my carrier soon all together. No, I will not be switching, I'm completely dropping them! At least for a little while, and mostly for the sake of experimentation. Right now I have AT&T here in the U.S.. I pay close to $160 Dollars for service I apparently almost never use. I've had my current number for quite a number of years, and am very found of it, so the first thing I will be doing is;

Porting my number to Google Voice.

With Google Voice, I'll be able to keep my current number, and continue to send and receive calls and texts without anyone being the wiser to my conservative ways. I'm no longer under contract, as I buy my phones internationally, so i have no commitments to AT&T.

All of this said, I'd like to hear the communities thoughts on this, and experience if anyone else has done this. I'd be interested to know how it's been for you, or what alternative apps/dialers/messengers youve been using, i know theres quite a few options.

Cheers!
