Thanks, will try
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Your're welcome:cool: make sure you have other non-kexec roms lying around to make it work.:good::
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
I don't think that anyone had a problem flashing non kexec roms

I have flashed it like 6-7 times on different systems from wiping data to creating new system and re-downloading the rom itself
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Hmm, which gapps are you using btw?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Tried without gapps too

Well i have 4.2.2 gapps dated 1/3/13

Sent from my ME865
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Maybe that's why, try the final 4.2.2 gapps dated 08/12/2013 on Goo. I don't think it will take any older or other gapps package than that one. Let me know what happens, but good luck either way!:good::fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
+Update+:

I was reminded by a fellow member that for persons wanting to boot non-kexec roms MUST be on ICS kernel, nothing higher (jb leak). So [MENTION=4912354]Ayush Jain[/MENTION] and anyone else must be on ICS, then you should be ok to boot it. I completely forgot! xD
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ayush Jain:
Oh my...!!!

How could i be so dumb -_-

I'm on jb leak.... Lol sorry for the trouble :p

[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
No trouble at all :) I'm glad you and others raised the issue so that we could remind ourselves eventually. xD :thumbup:

Ok i got a rom to boot with baseband but in starts bootlooping in about 10 seconds after boot..any solution?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Is this the same rom we discussed about that you used Method 2 on? Does it have any crashes before bootlooping?

Sent from the Ace's MB865 using xda-developers app
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
It is and when it boots up and i can go partially through the setup process and it'll go back to the boot animation and bootloop. I have no fc's either
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Well that shouldn't happen for a Method 2 unless something critical got messed up, only ever happened using Method 1 for me. Could you please outline all the steps you took from scratch till flashing, maybe missing one.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Accidental double post. -_-
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
I done everything u told me to do in that inbox message. The weird thing is that its smooth and theres no fc's then it jumps back to the boot aniamation. Hmm im gona start this from scratch and then try. I keep thinking im missing some .bin files from base rom
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Ok, try that and recreate your testing system again as well (at the same time, keep that current zip you have as a backup in case it really works). What happened to you only happened to me with Method 1 porting with it randomly bootlooping while setup says welcome. At least you have baseband, that's harder to get most times.:good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Ok done..i was missing quite a few .bin files and unique files..i think the main thing that caused the bootloop was the edison.so files. I was missing 3 of them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
There we go haha, I knew something was missing ;) yet the biggest question now; is it booting fine?:fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Giving it a go right now.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Hmm im really thinking that its the build prop because thats a fresh build and added missing files. In your op you said i need to edit this line rild.libargs=-c CAIF -i rmnet what if its not in either one of the build props? Do i take it out because i added it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
That line should be in every build.prop for the baseband to work on the A2 since I've seen it in a lot of our cutsom roms under the line rild.libpath. In this kinda case, a logcat may help out so look in Method 1 of the OP and go to the first link there. You can find a section on how to logcat unless you know how already. In case your phone cant be recognized while being on that rom, then post your build.prop instead.:) I may not be able to look at it now though, but I'll get around to it later.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Yea ill send u the build prop now. Ill do a logcat in the morning and i need a break.

Anyone had problems with gps in non kexec liquidsmooth??
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
That may be the rom itself from the original source, even though I did test the gps with google maps to see if it's working and it found my location. Though I also had to have on mobile/wifi location service as well but it's out of my hands with that part.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Thank u..Google maps needs Internet to load the maps..so we have to turn both the gps and wifi/3g on..will test with mapfactor navigator today
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:

hello i try your method for learning porting in my umts spyder. i took a port rom from maserati and boot succesfully on my umts spyder. what iam doing just delete folder app,framework,media,font,priv-app on base cm 11 and change with same file from maserati. surprisingly everything is work such as camera,wifi,storage,screenshot (this is my first port learn LOL) but the problem is my battery show lowbatt and 1%, i tried too clean instal and wipe dalvik cache, but still show lowbatt status. i am back to my stock slot and its show correct stats, wondering if i am missed something? if you dont mind please help me, sorry for my bad english sir. thx for great tutorial :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Never seen that before! o_O

I'm very pleased to hear that my guide helped you with another OMAP 4 phone, and a Droid RAZR GSM at that (your English was very good too). :good::) Your port is definitely a beginner's luck to get almost everything working, but pertaining the bug you're experiencing I haven't had such a thing happen to me. Which custom maserati rom did you port?

It may be be due to bugs within your maserati port custom rom, or it may even be a newly emerged bug due to the mixed parts of your port itself. I'm unsure how to help you since that sounds framework or system ui component issue which doesn't happen regularly. My immediate advice is to probably use another CM11 version as a base and another earlier (or later) version of the rom you're trying to port. See if it happens in different versions, and if if it doesn't then it may in fact be the bugs I mentioned earlier.

Let me know how it goes, and if the issue still persists then we'll need more technical assistance which is definitely here. Good luck!;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] aldiandrew:
i am porting from here sir > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415367 , the header its 4.3 but i think its 4.4.2 rom i read from the buildprop :D , and my base rom is cm11 nightly official for umts

i will try it again, are the file from system/etc/permission must be move from port to base rom? because i had'nt on my first port, i will try it now :)

i will ask again and keep in contact with you off course sir, because i want to learn android more :victory: , btw can we port from galaxy nexus rom sir ?because it has same procesors and ram? yes it has more resolution but its actually same when see from far :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
All the best!

Alrighty, try again with copying those permissions to see if it makes any difference. :) It may be possible to do so my friend, but I haven't tried it yet since it's a different brand, a slightly newer OMAP processor and may have an unlockable bootloader. It will try doing so as a project for a later date, but for now I'm staying in the Motorola phone bracket. and still trying to find a way to port 4.3+ roms.

I'm glad to see your awareness and enthusiasm on the android experience as a whole and i agree it's really awesome! :good::D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Updated the OP with additional/alternative steps to make porting via 2nd Method more straightforward. Also updated is that porting 4.3 roms with these methods doesn't seem to work, so I'm exploring other ways to port them. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Glad to see this update! This has helped me big time. I'm really focused on 4.3 rom s right now and waiting for Avatar to go 4.4 ;) I'm still running a test build on Liquid KitKat..its really good for the first release! Everyone is in for big surprise! Aint that right Aceofzeroz and Uzayr :D

hello iam back again, i try to move the permission from port to base but its still failed :D , my battery status just show 1% but not FC , i dont know my mistakes where, this is the screenshot and logcat, maybe will help you, i will try to port other rom, just courius about this problem :D

EDIT : answer of reply under my post lol : Darn, i guess it may be the rom itself with the bugs or possibly it is /lib related. If you haven't tried, try copying android_runtime.so, android server and media_jni.so from your port to the base rom and see if that helps (since your logcat mentions android runtime)

ok sir will try it, wish me luck :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Great to hear that, I wish you all the best with handling it!;) As for me, I want to handle the Carbon and Liquid Smooth porting and releases since I'm a sucker for lots of rom features and mods.:cool:

Hey Ace nice job man.Just dropped in to see how the forum is doing and lo and behold porting guides and porting teams have been formed.Thanks for the guide man I know I had been blabbering about doing this but couldn't so you kinda saved my ass.

Kudos to the effort.I'll try to chip in for that 4.3 problem but it'll take some time(still struggling with exams and other stuff here).I'll let you know.

thx for effort, i still try to learn about porting sir, this night i try porting from droid razr M rom, its difference proc but has same resolution, the result is the phone boot until bootanimation, any idea whats happen? i try to take log, but i still learn how to do take adb logcat when device is bootloop :highfive:

nb : or maybe we can chat from facebook i want to ask alot :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Do you have hangouts? I can talk on there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Well in terms of chatting, if you have Google+ you can send me your profile link or gmail address in a pm.

As for your experiment with the razr m rom, I myself was trying to port from other OMAP 4 devices such as the galaxy s 2, but didn't have any luck either. :( So I can't say if it is doable, but it may be possible with editing the ported files. It sounds like a lot of work, so stick with the similar devices for now.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Uzayr:
Galaxy S II, has a different chipset and a different GPU.

Same processor.

it can't be ported (yet)

probably because the chipset isn't the same
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
My point exactly, but it's only a matter of time before we can maybe get around those limitations. ;)

[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
This is really great news Ace. I am trying de-kexec Mokee, so far no luck but not going to quit.:thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
De-kexecing? How can this work? These Roms are compiled with its kernels, so it should be quite hard to make them work on stock kernel. On the other hand the stock kernel is partly similar regarding to the drivers, but at the end these roms modules are built for accepting the kexec kernels vermagic version and they cannot be inserted into a running stock system.

But my knowledge might end at this point.

But I can tell you a safe way to de-kexec roms: compile them with stock kernel source, of course all kexec related settings must be removed.

Sorry if this was already discussed, I didn't read the whole thread. :)

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 4
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
The reason for de-kexecing!

No need for apology dtrail, :) we actually used to rely on non-kexec rom builds by altered, he's the one who made it possible with the use of a rootfs folder and certain other files. This was going on before you came to our side of xda, when we still had kexec rejects like myself, who were unable to boot any kexec kernel rom at the time.:rolleyes:

Though this is only limited to 4.2.2 roms at this time, it still worked well enough to provide basically everything the roms had to offer except for one prominent bug; graphical ui tearing. It could be lessened by tweaking graphical options in Developer Options though, but personally it wasn't bothersome to me. I prefer non-kexec roms for their outweighing higher stability and better stock kernel battery life than regular kexec. So that's why others have been wanting to de-kexec later JB and KK roms, though it may be extremely difficult to pull off now according to altered.:(
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Happy New Year Atrix 2 users, I hope it will be a very prosperous and productive one for everyone!:D:cool:;)

Just letting others know that using Method 2, especially the alternative steps has been the most successful in porting roms for the A2EPT. Method one seems to need additional steps to allow more functionality so only try it if you want.

[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Happy New Year to you too Ace and to all A2 folks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dtrail1:
In your second method you should change "/System/ all files worth 'ril'..." to: "/system/LIB/ all files work' ril'....".

And the updater-script might need to be edited for A2 partitions If needed.

Btw: there's also a way to port any rom to our devices by running the actual rom "framework" on a stock JB base. This is similar to what STS Team did with the first JB Roms on stock kernel. It's a little bit more difficult because it needs more work with sources....

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 4
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Many thanks for the suggestions and extra porting info!:) I only said all files because there's also the rild.bin file in the bin folder, but at this point I should be more specific. Editing the updater script is usually easy with mainly adding some permission lines for the most part.

As much as I'd love to port via source, I can only stick with the the already built products due to time, hardware and bandwidth limitations.:( I'm also still a Linux and Android newbie so I can't tell anyone something that I don't know about.

Yet for others interested, you can google 'How to Port AOSP Roms from Source'.

Amazing Battery life , free RAM and UI smoothness and speed from this ROM....thanks a ton Ace :laugh::good::highfive::D

Bugs (mentioned earlier and what I found) :

1. UI tearing (very rarely but I somehow like it since it gives a nice watery wave like look :P )

2. GPS (havent tried it....dont really use GPS)

3. Blacklist not working (adding a number to blacklist causes dialer FC)

4. Tablet Mode + NavBar together cause System.UI to continuously FC

5. Apps werent installing from the playstore....some USB/SDcard error.....had to unmount sdcard, install app and again mount....never got this error again :P

Things I didnt try and most probably wont be trying :

bluetooth , performance mods , pie , halo , themes , profiles
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
The pleasure is all mine!

Haha, I know it's one of the best non-kexec roms for our A2 to date despite those bugs you have listed!:highfive::cool: I managed to re-port another copy with GPS working recently that I'll upload another time, although the compass is still broken. -_- The installation to storage issue still hasn't been solved with apps like xda developers (free version), but it's not a common issue with other apps so I don't worry about it. I'm glad you managed to solve it enough on your side though. :)

Bluettooth is sketchy sometimes with pairing so I would recommend another rom for that. Either way, I'm proud that it came out stable enough as my first ever port to start this new porting idea for the A2. When devesh comes back, hopefully by then we'll be able to get even more ported roms functional enough to release them for all of us to enjoy!:good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
It is undoubtedly THE BEST ! :D

something that I've seen for the 1st time on my Year-And-A-Half old A2 is 400+ mb free RAM after keeping around 5 apps in the background...and NO LAGS :P

Battery life - almost 1% per hour

couldn't have asked for more :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] radu990:
Wow, I'll give it a try now.

Will try for battery. Regarding Ram, Wang CM10 has over 500 MB of free Ram in such situations. But of course it depends of the opened apps :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Depends on the devices you're porting from and to. Which devices do you mean, what rom(s) is/are it/they and which method in my guide did you try to port them with?

Porting a CDMA rom to the GSM A2 is actually quite easy using the 2nd Method (alternate steps), you just need to edit the build prop and add/replace the correct lib files to do so. Let me know and I'll help you out.;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] fantasy2c:
Mine is a RAZR maxx xt908(small local network) where I'm tryong to make a port of a RAZR xt912(Verizon)

My phone has some Verizon counterparts in it but to run their ROMs..as is...I don't get internet or MMS everything else works tho.

We have a developer who has made us xt908 workers working cm 10.1, 10.2 and now cm11 just trying to help out by porting some other ROMs for us.

I'm currently using the cm11 4.4.2 cm base to port slimkat with the 4.4.2 base. Tried both methods as well as my own and all have ended the same. Could a simple mistake in the build prop cause this possibly?

I've also tried cm 10 cm base to the xt912 version of paranoid and also PAC but get the never ending boot animation.

Sent from my xt908 cm 11 blacked out
[Motorola Atrix 2] Aceofzeroz:
Well in doing a little research on your phone model, it seems there's a general difficulty in development for it as it comes to external rom sources, etc. I can't really help you there since the most common OMAP phones I've worked on porting from are the xt910, xt912, Droid 4 and the Droid Bionic. As for the causes of the problem, it may be a build prop issue or maybe missing files. Try my guide's 2nd Method if you haven't already done so and see if it helps.

I believe you're better off continuing to work with your devs on those issues but I wish you all the best in your attempts. :)

I started from scratch so I either missed a file or two or quite honestly I think it was in the updater script..I actually took the script and binuary file from the base ROM BC nothing I did with the updater script from the port would work. Its so touchy its kinda ridiculous. We r one step farther. I'm not a dev but I'm gonna look into the internet issues and see what I can come up with. Report back if I can find anything. Thanks ace!
