Hi. please, write your own method to port.. i have one.. its from someone so its not by me.. i think when everyone write his own method. we can find the best way..to cooperate
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jholtom:
Well I generally start by looking for the rom I want to port on a device with similar specs to ours or has some compatibility. I have used the Wildfire, Hero, MyTouch 3g.

Then I find the most compatible kernel, usually 2.6.32.

Having downloaded the rom unpack the zip.

Remove any folders or files you normally don't see in the root folder (boot.img, META-INF)

Add a sysinit.rc from fresh froyo/gingerbread/Myn's donut/Incubus eclair (depending on which os version your port is)

If you are porting Sense change the bootclasspath in sysinit.rc (what to change it to: /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.framework.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.easopen.jar:/system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar)

Then tar the thing.

Put it in andboot

boot the kernel (I do everything android on NAND)

install it to system.img

clear dalvik cache (I find this almost always necessary with ported roms)

and see what happens!

If it boots with no bootloop, strip all unnecessary apps (I usually start and just remove the "data" folder)

Continue stripping anything you don't want and then release.

If it doesn't boot right, I usually fiddle with the sysinit.rc first and a little in the build.prop.

Sysinit.rc I work with by extracting the one from the boot.img (don't ever completely remove it) and merging them

build.prop = hopefully self explanatory (if not I can write the rest later)

Try, Try again!!

i have this one...

I'll look into the specs of wildwire and let you know if my steps would work. Just kinda busy this holiday season. But my steps were pretty simple. We have to know if this is an odex'd or deodexed version. If it is odexed version, it would be nice to deodex it first. I use Android kitchen from dsixda. The only part we need is the system folder. It has apps, etc, lib, bin and the rest...basically under the system we need to put Fresh Froyo (FF) files build.prop and sysinit.rc and move it to wildfire's system folder (these two files are required for booting)then under /system/etc you need to grab vold.conf from (FF) and move it to wildfire's /system/etc. Ooops..I'll have to get back to you. Dinner time BTW, vold.conf is what loads SD card. I looked at the specs of wildfire and not sure if it works since it has a 7225 processor and 5 megapixel but it's worth a try. Then /system/etc, copy ppp and passwd from liquid's kernel and put it in that folder (like permissions). Compare the folders with Fresh Froyo and if something is missing from Fresh Froyo to wildfire. Copy wifi folder (don't copy ppp folder, delete it if wildfire ROM has it). Now lets go to system/lib. Copy the following files from Fresh Froyo to wildfire libaudio.so, libaudiopolicy.so (audio drivers) libcamera.so libcamera_client.so libcameraservice.so (camera drivers) libgps.so (gps driver) libhtcgeneric-ril.so (phone driver) libicudata.so. Then copy egl folder to hw folder and bluez-plugin folder. Now go to system/modules and delete all files and get modules from l1q1d's latest kernel and put it in the system/lib/modules folder. Then go to system folder and copy bin folder, media folder, xbin and usr folder to wilfire system. That's it. Save the system folder as androidinstall.tar and see how it goes. Goodluck.

can u update nbh which u used? i have many of them but no works
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jholtom:
I use an Atools edited 2.6.32 kernel with built in o'c to 520mhz and a bigger system NAND partition.

Almost or All Wildfire build work without importing system files just mess around with the sysinit.rc and build.prop.

The screen res is the same as our lovely phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] TuoNonno:
Since we are talking about porting here is my question:

I also have a huawei u8300 with stock eclair (2.1 update 1) and stock kernel (2.6.29)

I don't have the source files of the kernel (T_T)

Phone is based on msm7225 BUT has a physical qwerty keyboard, so I NEED to use the stock kernel to have it working (tried other kernels from 7225 platform but they crashes after the press of any key on the keyboard).

It is possible in your opinion to make the stock kernel working with a froyo build?

And if so, how?

I've tried to use the stock kernel with varius system images from various 7225 phones but with no luck :/, I need to learn! Be my teacher xD!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Michga:
I dont know your answer, sry.. (Offtopic: My opinion - you are on bad device thread..) So my answer is i dont know..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
Since the cable idea didn't work out, I decided to work on a couple of other items for the Streak.

I have spec'd out an adapter for us, so that we could use the immensely huge iFail (iphone/ipod/ipad) accessory market. Things like Speaker/radio docks, et al.

We would plug our usb end into the adapter, and the other end of the adapter is fitted with a 30 pin apple female connector. I am also adding micro/mini usb..so that the adapter can be used with more devices :) Please tell me what you think about the cord length.

PLEASE NOTE: In this picture, the iphone end is "male"..it would be FEMALE for us!!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Bohemian:
How about no cable but a jack type affair on the adapter so you could plug a cable into the adapter? or a short tail with plug for cable?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
That is what I really wanted..... but it is very difficult for the factory to do, and would not be cost effective....like 5x the price (without even knowing the price yet...lol)
[Streak 5 Accessories] nightworker-nn11:
Great work, but I would be happy to pay the 5x the price for just a streak to iPhone adapter, aslong as it was under 25 gnome
[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
How many pins do you plan on passing though?

USB/Power/Line out?

I'd be interested in an adapter too.

Best would be a small Female Dock <-> Male PDMI block (but as you said it might be unreasonably expensive)

How about a Female Dock <- short cable -> Male PDMI cable? Is that the plan?

Have you inquired about a simple Male PDMI <-> micro (or mini, i forget which is which) block? Along the lines of this but with PDMI/USB. Or also as a short cable of it's not reasonable price?

If you can only do a short cord + 2 connectors like the picture, can you do just like the picture of about ~1 inch?

I'm definitely interested in seeing how this plays out :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
This current plan (still working on actual dock too, separately) is:

Female iFail 30 pin <--cable --> Female Standard USB + Female Mini USB + Female Micro USB (so it appeals to more devices)

Planning on Charging/Sync/Audio :)

Does that answer it?
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
Sounds good to me. Count me in.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Emission:
May I suggest a Male PDMI -> Female USB Block/Cable for connecting USB accessories to the Streak? USB Keyboards work by default, the block would just need a short wire to connect pins 2 and 4 of the PDMI together (I believe) to activate USB Host mode.
[Streak 5 Accessories] TooMuchFace:
I think it already exists. Isn't this what you are looking for: cablejive.com/products/Universal-Dock-Converter.html
[Streak 5 Accessories] Radimus:
still would be better for an adapter that plugged into the streak and had female micro/mini.

Something low profile that could potentially be left plugged in and left in place.

Start with a naked streak and if popular make ones for a otterbox defender/commuter, etc
[Streak 5 Accessories] Muscleshop:
This is why the internet is so important...lol Thanks for finding this "unicorn"

I searched and searched and searched but could not find it, so I decided to possibly have it made. This is very similar to what I was thinking. Differrences would be the addition of mini & micro usb female connectors with my idea. Also hoping to make it sleeker with just one cord...and for a much better price.

In addition to that, this particular site says:

Which leads me to believe it was not very well thought out.

[Streak 5 Accessories] Fazziebear:
I bought the converter from cablejive. It allows the music to output but doesn't charge on the usb
[Streak 5 Accessories] ramtix:
I think this would be better if the male end is PDMI

http://www.cablejive.com/products/dockStubz.html
[Streak 5 Accessories] Nomgle:
I don't see how that can work.

You need the 30-pin PDMI connector on one end, and the Apple connector on the other. Here's the Streak's pinout http://linuxslate.com/#Dell_Streak_PDMI_Pinout and here's the Apple pinout http://www.allpinouts.org/index.php/Apple_iPod,_iPad_and_iPhone_dock

If it's simply going to connect USB to the Apple connector, then it will only be able to pass USB's 4 pins of data and power - there'll be no video or audio output. What's more, there are already adaptors on the market for USB to Apple, like the one already mentioned http://www.cablejive.com/products/Universal-Dock-Converter.html
[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
Both PDMI and apple dock connectors support line out for audio, only thing it wouldnt take advantage of is video out and USB-OTG

At least what i was interested in was a PDMI <-> Dock directly
[Streak 5 Accessories] Matt Bernius:
This is an intriguing project. I have a question about accessory compatibility.

I've been desperately trying to work out an external, powered mic set up for the Streak. I've established that the headphone jack, like iProducts, doesn't supply phantom power. iProducts got around this by using their dataport to power attached microphones. So in theory, this solution could connect to an iMic and supply the same power.

Here's the q: Is just having a powered mic attached via dataport (through the adapter cable) enough? Or work a supporting app have to be written to tell the device that there's a mic there and also handle the supporting software to make it work?
[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
PDMI only supplies line out from what we know, nor does it have power out.

Even if it could do both, wouldnt it drain the battery pretty quickly?
[Streak 5 Accessories] vasishta.sushant:
All I care for is a line out and the charging. Who gives a damn for the video and other stuff. I care more for the pure acoustic bliss.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You are not rooted at all. Start from scratch, use Unrevoked. Make sure to install and then uninstall HTC Sync and install the modified hboot drivers from Unrevoked if you're on a windows machine before running Unrevoked. Not sure why you are constantly rebooting, but after you get it rooted flash a new ROM and hopefully it will clear up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MUSIZIAN:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You get the drivers from unrevoked.com. I'm pretty sure you need to be able to turn on USB debugging and it has to run from an "on" state. Try running the 3.70 RUU again and see if that clears the reboots.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MUSIZIAN:

And don't just reply "The G-Sensor".

Also, please be specific as to what the issue you are having that makes you believe the "G-Sensor" needs recalibrating?

if you want and noone answer you..... you can to post it or browse in www.cyanogenmod.com official site...

cyanogenmod hasn´t a native calibration tool
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Sergi, is this the sensor that you can reset by waving the phone around in a figure of eight or is that for the compass?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
is like that the sense roms has in settings-screen-g-sensor calibration.

you can reset it with a level figure.. look the thumbnail :)

also i remember that with amon´s ra recovery (htc hero) u can do "wipe rotation status" and there´s a tool for calibrate it in cyanogen but i don´t know if its available for desire hd i still never flashed CMxxx.

cheerss
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:

Whilst it doesn't work the same way if you download GPS Status, go to menu -> Tools there is an option for calibrate pitch and roll.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
oups! have doubts :o

i only know that this tool its for calibrate the sensor for gamming AND GET FIX FOR STABILITY for some apk... (you know the tetter game? its a ball that you handle for the screen moving the device...)

this game needs to calibrate g sensor...

The example is a bilge but it clarifies about that we speak

by the wait i think that they are talking about this sensor concretly.... LOL
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeMelbourne:
The Desire HD has a G-Sensor:

http://www.htc.com/www/product/desirehd/specification.html

You would recalibrate if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold the phone (portrait vs landscape).

On the stock ROM, you would do this by:

From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.

Tap Display > G-Sensor calibration.

Place the phone on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.

After the recalibration process, tap OK.​

AFAIK there is no equivalent provided by Cyanogen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
No but you cab use an app like GPS Status that has a tool for calibrating this. Works perfectly.

[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Ok so this nook was bought brand new in December 2010 For my mother In-law. She hasn't used it much. So I asked if I could put Android on it? She said sure cause she hasn't used it at all. As a matter of fact the NC was totally dead when she gave it to me. So I get back to my house and put it on the stock charger. I let it charge for 2 hours. I picked it up and turn it on and all I see is this message: Battery too low to power ON. I did a search and turned up similar problems but the nc where all rooted. I'm wondering if other people have had this same problem? And what they did to solve this as it is more then likely an easy fix. A. Take it back to the store and exchange it. Or. B. Send it off for repairs. C. Someone On XDA has the answer.

Also I've done some trouble shooting like trying to reset it. Also I've used 3 Other chargers and its still not charging or turning on.:confused:

Edit: It turns on it just stays at the screen with a red battery displaying the message in the title. Also after charging for a while the screen kind of lites up like its going to turn on but only goes black after that and then comes back to the same red battery screen.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
what are you charging from? are you using the stock nook cable and plug?
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Yes. And charging it from the wall outlet. Did that with the stock charger. my charger from my HD2 and also tried with the charger from my vibrant. All have the same affect. It has the red battery and the messege below and it also has been a total of 6 hours of charging 2 hours each with the all the chargers.
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
That stinks. You may have to contact B&N for it. If your using the stock and other chargers then it must be a battery failure.
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Yeah seems to me thats what it must be I'll post back what I find out.
[Nook Color General] RobertsDF:
When that message is displayed, try holding the power button for 30+ seconds and then turning it back on.

That has worked for me the couple of times it seemed stuck on that screen.
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
Nope its not working at all. I was wondering is there an SD card that come with the NC bought brand new from B & N?
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
If you're using other chargers, it's possible that you've damages the usb port. The NC uses a non standard usb port, which has two stages. The first stage is standard 5 pin uusb communication, the second stage is non-standard 12 pin charging...
[Nook Color General] Fattychance:
Non-Standard chargers...

As far as I can tell it works fine with any microusb cord.

Their charger cables break...(bend and break) very easy. I have gone through 2.

The upside is that their charger provides power far faster than the normal microusb cords.

At this point...I'm charging mine almost exclusively from my stock evo cord.

If you don't turn off the screen when charging...it may not have enough power coming in to actually build a charge without their cable.
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
I never used another charger besides the stock charger that came with the NC. Up until this happened all that was ever used was the stock cable for charging. I only used another charging cable once I ran into these problems cause I figured the cable was damaged. Its happened to me before with other devices. But the same results happen with every cord I use. When I plug it in it lights up and shows the red battery screen. So that tells me that the cord or USB port couldn't be the problem. Cause its clearly getting power its just not charging.
[Nook Color General] jvillejoe:
When charging I can not turn the screen off it's stuck on the screen with a red battery.
[Nook Color General] Fattychance:
No. They sell it without one...the 8GB internal storage is enough for looooottts of books. The microsd was just a nice + for people with lots and lots of music.
