This thread is to assist porting of Android 4.1 (Jellybean) to ICS devices
A good base ROM for porting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Ramdisk diff
This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device. Some notes that are not shown in the diff are that /sbin/adbd and init changed -- These are both binaries so they need to be manually taken from the jb ramdisk.

Files changed in /system/
This is a list of files that have changed in JB... Please check /vendor/{device vendor}/{device name}/ and[/SIZE][/SIZE] /device/{device vendor}/{device name}/ in the CM source to make sure they don't overlap... If any do, just keep your cm9 versions.

The main thing you have to edit is the init.rc, but you may need to edit other things as well. I still have not found the right combinations of edits for my port to boot, Anyway use something like WinMerge to compare the files from the ramdisk of your base ROM with the ramdisk of the SDK. You can also edit the files while you have them in WinMerge.
Thank you so much, I will definitely try using that tool, and that gives me a direction to try towards.
cheers!
Ok guys i feel like im getting closer. The exact error im getting is,
Could not find method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled, referenced from method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.<init>
Anyone have any ideas? I know that settings is crashing but i don't know what to do about it. Here is the full logcat http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065069/
Is the whole pastebin is to replace everything in init.rc? Or some of it?

That means that it can not find com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled that is referenced in the init of the ramdisk. So you need to look at the init of the ramdisk and see where it is looking for that file and then place that file where it is suppose to be.
Also I finally got my port booting but it does not get passed the bootanimation and I got the adb working, yay.
Just add:
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
To the build.prop
Even my antutu 3D score increased.
Before:
Code:
<score2d>482</score2d>
<score3d>2051</score3d>
<database>465</database>
After:

You have it in JetMOD. And be carefull with trying build.prop now without custom recovery. You can get stuck on logo, like I did. And then you need to flash fw again. On TWRP or CWM you can do backup, and restore when you want.

I just get in one, added those lines with Solid Explorer. Maybe I should change permissions... And I give up modding untill TWRP or CWM.
Use root explorer to add the lines. So root is needed.
I use JB and it word great. It is safe to do it, no bootloops ore anything.
Just copy/paste after the last lines in build.prop and reboot.

Is it possible that a bootloop only appears if you remove the very last blank line (a line without content) in the build.prop?
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9070P
@VooDoo` yes, u must leave that blank line, and never use notepad in windows to edit unix files, use notepad++ instead or do it inside android
debug.sf.hw=1 line is on default build.prop so it's unnecesary, the second one is like go to developer settings and enable "force gpu rendering"?
Im trying with this parameter:
Code:
debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false
setting this to true, like this:
Code:
debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=true
can anyone confirm if its giving less lag?

About the tool:
This is a very basic batch script and I haven't changed it to .exe for reference purposes. When you port a ROM most chances are bootloops.:crying: It really makes us sad...so this is a simple tool that will copy a main file libandroid_runtime.so and most chances are the bootloop will be gone by now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to use?
-> Well it's really easy to do. Windows users just click bootloop.bat and follow the on-screen instructions. It won't take long
-> Linux users download the file and keep in /home/username/ (~/) directory. Then open terminal and type :
Code:
./br.sh
In some cases this doesn't seem to work so if that doesn't works then open terminal and type:
Code:
bash ~/br.sh
This will work! :victory: Now follow the on-screen instructions and enjoy :good:

Hello guys
I was thinking to create a simple build.prop editor. someone can help me where should I start. it's a simple project so I want to work myself to get some experience in android app development. As I know I have to provide root permission in android manifest. Xml but how the activity can read build.prop file

Root commands need to be executed the command line way.
You can get the content of a file using
Code:
cat <filepath>
For executing these commands I recommend using the RootTools library.
First of all get basic Linux command line knowledge.

No, it does not mean that.
If you want to do anything which needs SU permission, you need to do it without the Android API. You run a command on the built-in command line on your phone from your app. Now in Java you are able to read the output of the command and parse it to get the required information.
There is no other way of doing it because Android was not designed to be rooted.

Hi all, I know that this is not a question related to Sexynogen Rom, but I hope you could help me.
The problem is: I need to create an init.d script that erase the entire content of a folder on boot of the phone so I'll explain you what I did... Maybe someone can explain me where I'm wrong.
I've created a .sh file with this simple string
Code:
rm -rf /sdcard/splitter/*
I've called this file elimina.sh and put it inside /data/ with 777 permissions (rwx-rwx-rwx)
So I've created a file with no extension with this lines
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
run_program("/data/elimina.sh", "");
I've put it inside init.d folder with rwx-rx-rx permissions but when I restart the phone, the files inside the folder are still there.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

Thank you very much for your interest in my stupid vicissitude.
I've solved with Script Manager from Play Store, but I'll try to explain you what was my problem.
I've installed an app that create an unnecessary folder that grew size at each utilization of it, so, to avoid that this folder became too big (and my /sdcard/ became full), I've tought that maybe with an init.d script I should delete all the files inside this folder on boot.
So I tried to write a simple script but it doesn't work, so I've decided to use Script Manager (like @ktulu84 suggested to me).
If you can help me so I have not to use Script Manager it would be great, otherwise I'll continue to use that app.

I found it at your main thread of sexynogen
battery life is not rom dependent. memorize it.
if someone calling himself romdev done his job right battery life will be = stock firmware.
if he screwed up it will bee draining, lagging, restarting and so on.
nothing can be done aside of not using data connection/wifi setting brighteness to low and cpu to consrvative and downlclocking it.
but that could be done on stock firmware also, like such with no firmware alteration, standby drain
