[Android General] 7awliet:
Finding Port Files

I thought we were just replacing the entire boot.img haha I can confirm that none of LuckAs' boot.img's as a whole will boot a ported RR 5.7.0, 'cause I've tried just about every version.

I know where to place the port files, I just don't know where people got them from - as in what they used as base e.g. S030, S124, RR 5.5.9 v2, RR 5.6.8, etc.

For example:

babi's RR 5.7.0 base files:

libandroid_runtime.so in system\lib = came from 5.6.8 (unported) and it's not the not same as the 5.7.0 (unported) file

libandroid_servers.so in system\lib = came from 5.6.8 (unported) and it's not the not same as the 5.7.0 (unported) file

libaudio.primary.default.so in system\lib = is the same as the one in RR 5.6.8 LA5K found on the first page of this thread

libcamdrv.so in system\lib = is the same as the one in RR 5.6.8 LA5K found on the first page of this thread

libcameracustom.so in system\lib = is the same as the one in Cam fix RR found on the first page of this thread

libmedia_jni.so | system\lib = came from 5.6.8 (unported) and it's not the not same as the 5.7.0 (unported) file

boot.img	=

no idea

which boot.img was used as base and if the one from RR 5.7.0 (unported) was the one that was ported to

You won't believe me if I said that I checked just about every possible portable file in every kind of tutorial, opened the files an inspected them all.

Documented so much and even had to create some of my own port files, compiling from different files.

I found so much just by reading. I actually fixed the camera and flash issues just by

pure porting

(from stock only where possible) from S030. Now I don't know what happened after the brick but even that doesn't work know. (Now I'm gonna go for the original Plan A which was to incorporate Cam fix, etc., into the ported ROM haha.)

Check this for example, regarding touch issues:

I've seen so much stuff that makes no sense to port across, like S030 has more updated files than RR 5.7.0 (unported)(!).

Also, if you meant audio.primary.default.so, then that's in \system\lib\, Thet audio.primary.default.so in \system\lib\hw\ is not touched when porting. I documented some of this stuff in post #994 already (read from after the 3rd quote box).

So now I just need to find out WHO ported that RR 5.6.8 that's on the first page and WHAT they used as base for those files mentioned above. Also, the same questions for Cam fix RR.

If you're talking about Qwerty@'s 'tutorial' in post #729 on page 73 then I don't know why you set the second mount point to 7 when that was never mentioned in other than that ported RR 5.6.8:

If the instructions with an illustrated and annotated screenshot by babigabi about this very thing to someone else in post #733 on page 74 wasn't enough

then I specifically pointed out the mount point numbers in post #994 on page 100:

Granted, even I didn't see that about the second mount point (my apologies and thanks to babigabi :o) but you could still have searched in Google for 'a5000 mmcblk0p6 mount point' and that would have lead you to this thread and these posts, that is if you couldn't search in the thread search box on the right (need 10 posts at least I think).

By the way I don't mean to come at you aggressively or anything personal, just wanna make it clear for anyone else that may have the same problem as you and may need to search for it haha. I know you got the Data mount point from RR 5.6.8 and I don't know why they put 7 but as babi pointed out in his screenshot that 7 is for Cache, and as he also implied below that screenshot that different chipsets and systems have different mount point conventions. I'm not sure if the Data mount point is your problem but it wouldn't hurt to try. Also, search and then ask in here if you're not sure about something, someone could help out ;)

I type so much I get carried away, sorry haha. I dunno why I have a need give people as much information as I possibly can.
