No 'set_perm' lines. Need help.

OP, I'm trying to port SlimRom KK from Droid Razr Maxx HD to my Ascend P6 using CM11 KK (surdu_petru's port) as base, I've gotten to step10, but I couldn't find any 'set_perm' lines, yet there are 'set_metadata' lines. I am thinking of the possibility that they were changed to set_metadata instead of set_perm, what are your suggestions at this point? Thanks in advance.

So I've downloaded ROMS From NEEDROM.COM and I want to learn porting ROMS so I've read articles from http://xdaforums.com/ but the PROBLEM is that I've read that META-INF folder is required for such process and I cant find that META-INF Folder from the ROMS I've downloaded.

Base ROM you can take is any stable ROM made for your device (it could be your stock or any other with no bugs)

Second the port rom must be of same platform.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosdroid.я:
Thanks, but...

Of course, it is the simpliest ,method to port roms, but if u port roms with this guide, u just simple decorate your stock rom like port rom. To get a real port, u must replace files from stock to port.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nesh89:
well you are very in correct. Every thing that you swap or change is not decorating, and when you change permission files and init.d files in etc folder is replacing all the files.

you cant replace lib and hw files.

From say htc to lg. Those are files for LG your phone will not boot or work.

You cant change idc files or keylayout.

Those are device specific files.

Your device wont work.

And you cant port stock roms or use files from stock roms to port custom roms.

You can only port roms with the same base.

If you port framework, systemui and fonts, you are really porting a rom and not decorating your rom.

You are putting the system and framework of the port rom to your base rom.

So you are making a real port.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosdroid.я:
thanks, I had understood. And I have a question: can I use this guide to port from differnt socs, for example from mtk 6589 to mtk 6572?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nesh89:
well you cant port stock, as i said only custom roms with the same base and version, and with the same resolution.

You need cm10 4.1.2 to port another cm10 4.1.2

or a cm11 4.4.4 to port a cm11 4.4.4

and you cant port roms for a mtk device to a ext4 device.

mtk foe mtk, ext4 for ext4.

So you csnt port the stock roms, but you can port the custom roms.

List of Issue that appear on V4

Hi G00h,

Thank you very much for your awesome work. :good:

Quick list of "small matters" that appear on V4 :

S Cover doesn't work anymore. It shows a black screen below the status bar.

There is a regular message regarding data usage may occur additionnal charge. This wasn't on V2/3.

The battery life and optimization are great, but to great. Multitasking is painful. Especially while listening to music, if I request a task, the music will be briefly interrupted. I think this has something to do with the CPU governor that you applied.

Also, there is an issue that I noticed since V2. It is regarding Titanium Backup Restore. Using your Rom, I am not able to batch the restore of my apps (around 150) when it works on Cyanogen and Stock ROM... The problem still appear on V4 so at the end I had to work on an update.zip.

I am using the N9005 international version of the Galaxy Note 3 and GPS works for me by the way.

On a list of quick new things that I find great on V4 : The themed camera app, button layout (like the S5), choice of battery icon, stability and battery life is awesome. I have never been able to go home with more than 20% of battery before. With your Rom I usually reach with 45-40%. This is great.

That's it for now.

f@b0!lle :cowboy:

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Have you try a factory reset via your recovery before flashing the rom ?

Backup your data and apps and try that.

At this stage that is what you should do.

Also, at the end of the set-up assistant, where you input the device name, there is a checkbox where you can ask to start the phone with Easy Mode. Make sure is unchecked...
