Will this work on my sp7715 phone if I port it? I've been trying to build twrp from source using the device tree I created, but it doesn't work. It just hangs on the manufacturer splash screen.

My tree I've been working on: http://github.com/Qiangong2/android_device_BLU_D190U
[Android General] rockermr:
CM Port

Yeah i know that. I saw some tutorials in xda. Intial steps were ok but they told to setup a device tree from github. Im confused with those steps. Those tutorials were for popular phones. Those devices were listed in github. I own Zen ultrafone u506 pro which is not famous and it is not listed in github. wjhat can i do.
[Android General] amiro13:
The firmware folder located in system/vendor folder, but not in system/etc .

[Android General] nasreirma:

How to port a custom rom

first you need

stock rom with boot.img

custom rom (i will give you the link)

winrar

the most important " a normaly workin brain "

what you need to do is very simple you just need to copy some files from stock rom to custom rom

let's get started

From system/bin

netd

sensorservice

tc

wpa_supplicant

from system/etc

bluetooth (whole folder)

dhcpcd (whole folder)

firmware (whole folder)

permissions (just handheld_core_hardware and platform)

wifi (whole folder )

from system/lib

egl (whole folder)

hw (whole folder )

modules (whole folder)

all libs exept libandroid-runtime and libandroid-servers

from system/usr

keylayout (just Generic.kl)

now replace custom recovery boot.img with your stock boot.img and delete logo.bin compress your custom rom wirh winrar set compression zipe and compression type as normal and flash it via custom recovery

this is the method
[Android General] amiro13:
yes i have ported , it works with many bugs and i deleted it.

i don't remember with this method or other,becouse one of this methods don't works for me, i have replaced boot.img and update-binary and updater-script.

i'm sorry it will not work onsamsung galaxy core prime and galaxy core 2

search here you will find cyanogenmod twrp and cwm for ur device

http://xdaforums.com/t/galaxy-core-2
[Android General] ItsMeShouko:
But what's the reason behind it?
[Android General] Qiangong2:
Samsung uses proprietary libs and touchwiz making it not possible to port.
[Android General] ItsMeShouko:
So, roms cannot be ported to samsung without building them from source?
[Android General] Qiangong2:
They can be ported, the phones just both have to be samsung phones and have the same processor manufacturer.
[Android General] ItsMeShouko:
There is Galaxy J1, completely with same specs. and processor, but It's lollipop and Core 2 is kitkat, can I port it? If not, is there any other guide?
[Android General] Qiangong2:
Not possible. To port ROMs from one Samsung device to another, you need to upgrade your core 2 to lollipop before you can port the J1 ROM as you can only port ROMs if they have the same android version.

You can port using any porting guide (except for the mediatek one)

It's easy as hell. Replace the zimage, default.prop, uevent.rc, there would be a file with be the chipset name (with either 7731 or 8830), replace that too. Replace recovery.fstab (be sure it is in TWRP format)

If you still fail, send me the stock recovery.img.

Yes all you have to do is Load .pac file in upgrade tool (or research tool) now click on 2 gear icon, now get the location of files. Copy system.img from there.Then use ext2explore.exe to unpack system.img

Enjoy!

Check this video guide How to extract Stock recovery from Stock firmware to know how to unpack .pac, I copied reovery.img you have to copy system.img .
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Bro what's your progress on upgrading to lollipop did you succeed or what. I found the guide and working recovery of lollipop (I didn't ported it just flashed using flashify directly) but didn't understand it from the lines of unpacking​ our PAC and the lollipop ROMs PAC files. I'm getting that some what we need to modify in the lollipop's PAC file but don't have clarity on that. Is there any other option like creating the flashable zip of lollipop PAC files instead of flashing the ROM using SPD tools,since I fear of bricking.

also, can i copy meta-inf folder from philz recovery and then extract any other recovery.img and create a temporary recovery.zip to try before flashing

also please tell, will the custom rom i create here as per first post will work on my trio selfie3 t45, device model scx35_sp7731geaplus_dt, cpu hw sc8830

Edit : I went ahead and flashed ported Twrp and it seems to work well. Cheers !
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Use philz non touch recovery it is easy to use than cwm
[Android General] anpr22:
As you told i flashed ported twrp and it is working flawlessly. philz was a failure in nandroid backup and movement by volume keys.

Thanks
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
If you got TWRP then you are good go further (flashing ROMs etc) . Temporary cwm and philz are similar but differ in UI. In both temporary recoveries there is bug regarding movement by volume keys but actually there is movement suppose if you press down key once it will scroll down but it doesn't highlight the menu. Check the TWRP you have ported whether there is any mounting issues check recovery.fstab/twrp.fstab there you can see mount points change them with the mount points of your device for getting info of your device's mount points simply download "Disk info" app from store there you find the mount points of different partitions.
[Android General] anpr22:
Please answer me about roms as asked here , I was able to make full nandroid back with twrp but not with philz (it created 0 size system.tar.gz) so twrp did the job.

Now please suggest reliable, daily use, having nice features custom rom for Trio selfie3 T45, device model sxc35_sp7731geaplus_dt, cpu h/w sc8830 , android kitkat 4.4.2 having 512mb ram, 4gb internal storage(usable 1gb only),

Please tell me about the fixes, and should i copy whole /lib (as told here ) or selective files as told in that other link..

how to copy all data and apps without going through the pains of setting up and running whole system again without much effort ?
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Here I suggest you LG-G4,Asus and Xperia z . Among these three Xperia ROM gives much battery backup without impairing the performance it's UI will look much older but for getting good battery life u have to sacrifice the UI. In this thread https://xdaforums.com/android/general/kitkat-rooting-to-roms-t3560777 there are many ROMs with many choice among those ROMs RushPop v3 is the best one it's having nougat ui(the fake one) and the ROM is fully materialised to give latest Android experience. In my experience I felt this ROMs as best there are more ROMs try those by yourself most of the ROMs will not disappoint you. Port ROMs carefully read the entire post and make sure your recovery is working without any errors.
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Look at this thread https://xdaforums.com/android/general/kitkat-rooting-to-roms-t3560777 you may find it helpful and the porting guide is may be much more similar to lollipop porting guide provided that you are having working custom recovery and custom ROM with the same chipset.
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Unfortunately there are no ROMs(as per my knowledge) available for your chipset since lack of community support but there is a hope for you may find ROM of Samsung devices with this chipset or just google with custom ROM chipset Name & model.
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Yes you can but you may face lot of bugs. Try both custom ROMs as well as Manufacturer ROMs. The porting guide is lot similar to lollipop Porting guide but bug fixing will not that much easy just replacing the files may not fix some bugs.
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Sorry bro. Finding ROMs is up to you,but I wish I Know some ROMs for your chipset but unfortunately I have device (older one) with sc8830 because of that I have no idea of your chipset but I'm sure you'll find some ROM of Samsung devices just search as Samsung with the chipset ROM you'll find devices with devices and search custom ROM for that device. Porting from Samsung devices will take lot of time and debugging,you must have patience after booting you'll face tons of bugs (of course it's a ported ROM and it's common) you may fix some bugs quickly but some will take some time and may never get fixed but lose hope. At last I'll suggest you to choose the stable ROM which has less bugs.

But sir I have some other bugs too

1. I don't have physical touch buttons on my phone . So I need to enable on screen button. But when I enable those by editing build.prop . The systemui crashes and restart itself and this crashing and restarting continues until I switch of my device.

2. The camera is not working.

Plz help me to solve these problems.
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
For onscreen navigation keys add below line at the end of build.prop using Root Explorer/Browser.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

For SystemUI FCs make sure you have wiped the data and didn't restored any system apps and other app data from previous ROM. And also make sure that you have properly compiled framework while fixing the SDCard bug.

This thread is too old look at this thread. In that thread there are many ROMs and recoveries with detailed porting and bug fixing guide.
[Android General] tatai@123:
Thanks sir...

But when I edit those line in build.prop then only I get this problem . I may tell you that I also edited the display density, width and height as my phone has an hd display . Will that cause any problem .
[Android General] Jitheshwar:
Just add that line
[Android General] tatai@123:
Yes I added that line and after adding I saved it and when restarted the phone, the systemui crashes. I don't know why..when I edit that line like this:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

then the systemui becomes stable.(I know that line is for disabling the on screen keys).
