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 have what i believe to be a working vega honeycomb alpha however when i got install it in CWM it says unpacking then opening and then installing package finishes very fast and on reboot nothing has changed corvus rom still installed untouched
can you upload it so we can have a look?
did you make it btw?

yeah upload what you have got then we can debug it ourselves, will make it easier than trying to tell you what to do.
Try clearning cache and data in recovery before installing
im uploading now yes i edited the boot.img using the sdk version and used several bits from the desire honeycomb port not sure if its right at all and haven't changed the modules yet. If im completely heading in the wrong direction please inform me and i will give up
Here is my original attempt i've made several edits since but none have worked so here http://www.mediafire.com/file/vcn45ihdfgcjmhg/honeycomb.zip
right, what you have uploaded looks to me like its purely a Desire rom, you have not changed anything at all... no wonder its not booting!

i think you need to edit the boot.img that you extract then take the system.img from the sdk and put them into an update.zip
good luck
Hey everyone,
I want to get into android development and I want to start with rom porting. It would be great if anyone could help me get started and answer a few of my questions:
Do I need anything special to start with?
Do I need a really beefy PC to do it?
What programs do I need?
Do I have to learn C++?
Is it safe to test my so called "ports"?
Do I need permision from the developer of the base rom I'm using?
Does the base have to be for the same device?
Thanks for your help and time!

You can port roms with different hardware , its safe, just make a backup because you will probably boot loop. if you port it and post it here then you will need the devs permission. The base has to be the same android version as the rom you want to port, and the base has to be for our phone.

I was going to try to port miui but now that you're doing it I might as well try to port something else. Any suggestions?

I can not tell because even I'm not good with porting, my best result with all roms try and bootanimation been blocked.
my opinion is that there is something missing in the guide, some guides say they modify the init file in boot.img for example.
What I realized is that the files that are to be created well for not having problems updater-script and build.prop.

TESTING HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING. WE HAVE EVERYONE WE NEED CURRENTLY. WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT WE NEED MORE, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
This thread will be used to notify the members of XDA as to our current progress. Once an official release is ready, this will be converted to a Q&A thread. Currently we are working out some kernel issues and will let you know where that leads us. This will also be where we look for testers as we expand to other variants of the G3.
UPDATE: Currently our team is looking for a name. Since it was formed from random community members, we have decided to come back to the community to ask for suggestions as to what we should name the team. I would also like to state that we are currently testing a kernel that may get the M Preview booting. So wish us luck.
I'd love to help but I'm only s beginner in ROM porting but what would I need to do for me to help you? I'll give as much help as I can give.
Edit:
Try asking @autoprime and @timmytim for help with making the flashable zip/cleaning up some bugs and other stuff

Small Request: @TonyStark, is there any way you can get this moved to the standard LG G3 General Subforum? I feel like it could benefit other Devs and it would get more attention there.

Yeah, really it doesn't need to be changed to the new format, but it would need a whole new updater-script, which I am not as familiar with as I would like to be due to time constraints and other priorities. So if @timmytim or @autoprime could take a look and help me out (if it's not too much trouble, of course) that would be awesome.)
ask also @LastStandingDroid i think he could help as well...or try post in developers thread.there are many geniuses there
Cloudyfa might able to help
Ps Good to see that someone started working on the M version
Ps2 I have seen you trying to port android wear to galaxy gear 1
That's pretty awesome! Unfortunately I cannot help more than just cheer for you guys.
I've got a D855 and I have some experience messing around on Linux and Windows. If there's anything else I could help, just PM me
Tapatalked thru my LG <3
I also am a beginner to porting ROMs but have both a Linux and Windows workstation, so I am here for help if needed. New XDA account, forgot old my old account's credentials lol.
Good Stuff!
This is good news! I cant code atm but I was looking for this ROM. I read that they released the beta rom So I knew it was only a matter of time before someone created one for the G3
I can't help with anything ATM, but I'm glad to see this being worked on so soon, I'll definitely be cheering you guys on, God knows when LG will update.
Nice..... I'm no good with codeing but if you need a tester I'll risk my G3...:good:
We need help people! Someone who knows a little about this can shed some light of what we need to accomplish this port?
Pm me if you guys need a tester
I have a g3 d855, if you need tester for that, I could help in the future.

Yeah. Unfortunately I no longer have a Gear 1, but someone has picked up where I left off. And thankfully, someone with the Verizon G3 and some porting experience is taking a look into modifying the boot.img to support M and has provided me with a baseline updater-script that I can modify to fit the situation.

If I get a port running smoothly on my D850, we are then going to branch to the VS985, then the D855 should be right behind.

Just double checking that you know that currently all I have is the files merged for a ported system currently, not a flashable ROM yet, right? Either way, I will keep everyone up to date on the status of the port here.

Thank you! We're working on modifying the CM12.1 boot.img to support M currently. Then all I need to do is modify the updater-script and all should be proper for the D850. Then we'll be moving on to other G3 models.

Is there a custom ROMs or any developer willing to try make one, i'll appreciate some help
I would be grateful too.
I'm on T-Mobile....but I'd be grateful something closer to stock android than what LG has given us lol.

Subscribing as really hoping for something also. A few have started to make one but never finished or really even got going, seems cant get all the correct img's extracted or source code needed. Switched from the lg power x to this phone bc power x couldn't be rooted. Now seems cant get custom rom for this!

If you find a ROM that's similar to your phone like similar CPU you could download it download Java Android kitchen and that you need to get the system files from your phone so you can put it in that ROM so then you can Port it to your phone
I was going to do that for my phone but I get caught up playing PC and by the time I have my PC ready for it it was already ROM out for mine
Also if u need help porting there a thread here for that
