[REQ] Porting G2 Rom - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hey guys, there is a new rom out for the g2/desire z that is a really nice piece of eye candy, its a different rom like the miui / cyanogenmod
I tried my best porting it using the kitchen available in the android forum but i get an error while trying to flash with CWM... anyone have better guides to port roms into the HD2 ? maybe a dev can take a look at this and do it
Please take a look at the original forum for the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963755

Wouldn't know how to do it but damn... that's sexy!
You should try DM some dev's and ask them to port it.

sexy is indeed the right word my good sir, however I wouldn't really like asking someone to do free work for me...
I would more appreciate the gift of knowledge to learn how to port these things! there are tons of guides out there but I feel like those who know how to do it probably know the secret and its a much simpler process..

I'm new with the development thing but willing to learn if anyone want to help me it would bw great.
I'm tring to make a rom that goes with my company call herbalife
thank u for reading my add and for the help.

you could start with the "chucky comes with kitchen" rom.that way you can see a pre loaded kitchen, and what happens when you tweak it and re build.
I would advise you to head over to the Chef Central fora for more help and information.

Im assuming you have a back ground in development? Cooking roms is not something you can just learn in a few days, As allready mentioned there are many threads in this forum relating to cooking roms, so it would be best to check those out if you're serious abuot doing it
I think what you are looking for is how to make a custom skin for Sense. No point in making a custom rom.

[Q] How to port/cook an Android ROM for HD2 (chefs please help)

Hello
I'm looking for some hints about the subject: how anyone can take a shipped, let me say, HTC Desire rom and let it work on HD2.
I'm not talking about doing heavy tweaks, modifications and so on... just to take a stock Android ROM and have it working on HD2.
I asked to some chefs and received some hints but It's not enough.
I don't want to think that this is a "secret" and I think would be great if some chef would share his experience/step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
As I said before, I think we could start just with simple porting of a stock htc desire ROM, just to understand all the steps. I think that further steps on how to customize and tweaks will be explored later and anyone could experiment itself.. but we need a basic starting point.
Some step by step instruction will be great like:
1) Download shipped rom from here .........
2) unrar it in linux folder
3) copy this folder, rename the other one, dowload this file, copy this...
4) execute shell command XXXXX
5) copy on your sd card
6) boot...
of course I know it's not so easy, but is just an exaple on what I ask here. I think there are a lot of other perople looking for this.
Thanks to any chef/dev that would to explain to our noobs how to get the "magic"
p.s.
I ask the moderators to keep, if possible, this thread in the Dev forum... this because we need help from devs here and in the Q&A forum it will be never noticed.
I came across this the other day that maybe of use:

Yes, I was pointed to that thread too. If you look at the end there are some questions I did. The problem is that is based on MIUI... That is already a custom ROM.
I think the better way to understand the process (not just do it) is to have hints on how to port a standard/stock HTC DESIRE rom.

Ideally the same way. In theory it should work...I never tried because sense builds (especially hd ones) are very laggy

Hello, I was just replying on the other thread to thanks you for the answers
I will try to follow your guide to port a stock desire rom (strange that are laggy for you... for me they fly...)
Anyway it's still something not clear about the donor files... If it's ok to take them from an already HD2 working rom or not.. but I will ask on your thread, avoid to make confusion
no one tip from the devs?
I'm start thinking that instructions on rom cooking for hd2 is like a secret
I've asked this many times, but as you said, no one seems to want to share this "secret"...

you can start with one of the hunderd rom that chefs already cooked. This thread is just to ask help with cooking a rom, you have not to wait.. you already can use android daily on your phone.

Did you cook a MIUI rom or a Sense rom or a stock android rom?
For the cedesmith's initrd.gz I was thinking the same thing.. maybe we have to ask directly to him.
wow, both tyween, and rafpigna, started from this, to now:
Rafroid
Typhoon
best roms on xda. Really nice work guys!
But still, no one shares the "secret" I have tried several things myself, but it didnt work. Would really appreciate if someone could share how to port a rom to the hd2.
Yeah would be great if tyween and rafpigna let us know how they managed it, what guides/reference they started of on or if they have any tips for us etc
I totally agree, I would definitly cook my own rom if I knew how to...

wot

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
So please masters, help me out! :angel:

Well there are guides for dsixda kitchen, you just have to use the HD2 source code for whatever ROM type you want to cook (ie CM9 AOKP CM7 MIUI SENSE etc)

Porting Sense, Is it possible?

Hey peeps,
I ain't a developer but I have my hands good on Compiling roms and kernels! I have been porting roms lately and I was wondering if we can port Sense from Droid DNA or HTC One M7 to the S4!
I know many devs have tried but they failed but I still want to give it a shot!
A message to the mods: Please move this to the section you think is the best for this thread :fingers-crossed:
All i'm gonna say is framework, it requires a lot of framework changes and such.

[??]ColorOS for I9500 how to port to I9505 / I337(m)

Hey guys, not entirely sure where to port this but here goes.
I was watching the product launch of the oppo N1 and noticed their ColorOS looked like something fun to try out.
Did some poking around on their website
ColorOS forum without translate
Person taking credit for it on XDA with their own forum when it is actually provided by OPPO : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455932 (side note original link is an ODIN file and this guy did make a flashable zip so he should get some credit
Anyways I was wondering how tough it would be to port it over to our devices aka I9505/I337(m)
Anyone have any tips, maybe suggestions on where to place this thread for better reception?
Thanks!
YOU RIGHT!!

I've tried to port it a few times, i'm having trouble finding a good base rom so i don't think i'll be able to make it happen myself
damn!
I saw that this rom is based on the MIUI, right?!
now, if the difference between the i9500 and the i9505 is only the processor why don't you take the Prism ColorOS ROM v5, and put this kernel download646. mediafire. com/akz46i2vruzg/gy4tnpf6d064f8v/MIUI-Abyss-GT-I9505-1.6.1FSam.zip into it?! I haved this problem when I installed the MIUI ported for the i9500 that doesn't work on my i9505... maybe this is a good strating point! @AL_IRAQI PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING! PLEASE! :crying:

Hi Al!
Please give me an aswer! A port of your great ROM for i9500 shouldn't be so difficult: it's just a kernel matter isn't it? can you do something for us?! please answer me!
thank you so much and sorry for spamming.. that's from me.
this is the answer:
Hi buddy
No.
You need to patch Samsung Rom for i9505 again
Or maybe port HTC One Rom
I can't do anything for i9505
I'm sorry buddy
maybe for all of you guys that can help... unfortunally I'm not able to do such great things from my PC...

I had thought this as well but previously on Prism v1 i had asked him which base to use and got the following answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47428345&postcount=163 So i've been trying to do that. The big problem is the kernel and not having the right system links in to the rom. It's not quite as simple as flashing the rom and then putting a new kernel in because of all the back end stuff unfortunately.

I had actually ended up PM'ing him for a while trying to figure it out after i settled the base issue it turned into a kernel issue then a system link issue and then i just gave up.
Might take another swing at it over the weekend if i h ave some free time, we'll see.
