As some of you know, stockwell has a miui porting script. I just began to wonder, can it be modified to port other roms from desire z? If someone could alter it a bit try to port one of desire z roms. I have very little knowledge on linux, but someone with more could do it.
Ret4rt and darksage have this script. They can answer to this question.

U could try and just read the script from the github.. U could see the script will automatically add and replace some files and delete unnecessary file from Desire-Z ROM.. U can do it using windows AFAIK... Try using this tutorial
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/porting-android to know exactly what to put to get the phone booting..
Do you have a link to the script?

For those who dont know Linux that well (Me too!), u need to figure out those function(rm=remove, cp=copy) and replace it manually in windows..
But updater-script could make it even harder.

Stockwell make it easy for us actually, if u check that github, there's an "overlay" folder.. Inside is all the file needed to add into the desire-z rom,
including the updater script (/ overlay / META-INF / com / google / android )..

didn't really wanna post this... but well... this shows how big of a ROM noob i am
can someone give me some help here with the Logcat i ran...
trying to port a ROM (not gonna tell you guys which yet )
this is a lil snippet (what i could get) from the Logcat i ran... the device booted alright, got past the splash screen... stayed at the bootanimation for awhile... but then bootloops. -__-
Thanks
What i did...
-porting a Sense 3.x ROM to the Mytouch 4G
-used/followed this guide here (very nice, good guide)
-edited build.prop
-changed boot.img (using the one from DARKSIDE Sense)
-Team MS
I didn't read through the whole thing but from the very beginning it said unknown permissions for some vital stuff so you may want to look around in the updater script and make sure those perms are there or in the init.rc file in the ram disk.gz file (which can only be found after decompiling the kernel)

ok... gonna decompile the boot.img...
it's weird though... i just used the boot.img from another Sense 3.0 (VU to be exact) and it doesn't boot?
After a few headaches and some claps on the forehead i finished a very alpha build of CM9 for the IDEOS X5. It was ported from the Galaxy W port of arco68 with the files of Aurora ICS and this guide.
I don't know the bugs, so please PM me if you find a bug.
NOTE: I think i am only too stupid to sign a zip, so you have to sign it by yourselves or toggle verification in the recovery.

Alpha is not bad nor good, just a phase of software development. Please confirm the rom is working, otherwise I will move it to general section.

i´m downloading it right now, and will test it in one hour and i will say someting here...
It doesn't install, always Error status 6 in CWM. I replaced the METAINF folder in the zip with aurora, and changed the name of the zip itself, then it installs, but doesn't boot...
Next, I replaced the boot.img inside with the 3.0.8_v2 from DZO, then it boots but never goes further than boot animation
It is not rom development if you just switch some of the files, compress the file into a .zip and post it here.
Can anyone have a look at it and help me? I think the problen is the updater script, because i've only copied the one from aurora.

i have only one problem. the guide says the Easiest way to replace the kernel is to take a kernel update zip for your device, un-zip it and rename the zImage file to "boot.img-kernel" and copy and replace the file of the same name in your directory.
but when i take the boot.img-kernel from the unpacked aurora boot.img, it has 2,6 mb, but when i rename the packed boot.img from aurora to boot.img-kernel it has 3.0 mb. which one should i take?

Boot.img is ramdisk and kernel, compiled into one. You need kernel.
Unpack both boot images, replace kernel with auroras and change init.rc scripts to mount the correct partitions.
On mobile now so can't give a tutorial.

the guide i follow says, that i only have to rename the init.devicename.rc to init.huawei.rc. should i also change the init.rc to the one of aurora?

i've uploaded a new version. it's ported from the desire z, but i think it's too big for the x5. i can't upload it to mediafire, because it doesn't load my files correct. so i only can upload it to dropbox, but there is also a limitation of downloads. http://db.tt/u8PrGM5m

What devs allow softmods?
What do people want in a softmod?
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks for your Offer.
I recommend you to make a Froyo Soft-Mod, cause we've a lot of GB CM7 on this forums, will be great to see more Froyo's ROM updated.
Take (with his permission) Miroslav's Utopia to start.

Well you can always edit png's in framework. You can use uot kitchen, dsixda kitchen, xultimate.
Init.d can be tweaked
If you want a complete ROM build you can try aosp froyo. You might use pcfighter / zice kernel .....
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
Aosp froyo with notification bar togles, init.d script and ginger or some other theme would by nice.
When i created my soft-mod i didn't use a computer.
U don;t really need a computer to create a mod.
U just need root explorer. unless u want to create it into a recovery zip
Yes

Hi.
I want start to make Rom .
Where should I start *?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
Start by making soft-mods. Get a Rom flash it on your phone, dont add any personal stuff like contacts yet. Put in some nice apps themes tweaks and mods and after that use CWM to back it up and it "should" be ready to share... well at least that is somewhere to start from.
Edit: For those planning to make 4.0 softmods maybe you can also see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680328 i know its from the SGSII but i guess the way to do things is similar. (just dont use the flashable thing from the mediafire link!)

4. Delete app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder of Base ROM.
5. Now copy app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder from Port rom to base rom system folder.
6. Now open etc folder in both the ROMs folder.
7. In etc folder of base ROM open permissions folder and copy all the permissions files in Port rom to your base ROM folder except platform and handheld_hardware and then open init.d Folder in Base ROM and Delete Every thing except banner and then copy all the files inside init.d folder of port ROM to Base ROM.
8. Now open buid.prop file using Notepad++ and make changes to these of Base Rom as you wish.
ro.build.id=
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.date=
ro.modversion=
9. In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values.
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
10. COPY THE set_perm Lines in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script From Port to Base ROM After Deleting set_perm lines in Base ROM's Updater-Script.
11. Last Step to .zip folders to one
SELECT META-INF, system and boot.img in port folder
Right Click and Select Add to Archive..

Is this correct?
We made all these changes to base rom, edit build.prop and updater_script of BASE ROM, and then we must zip and flash the PORT ROM folder?

tried to port paranoid android from galaxy s2 to u8800 but it is stuck in bootloop
Hey guys, i need help porting apps from one android device to another like apps from LG Optimus 2x to LG optimus one or porting stock apps to cyanogenmod or porting xperia, samsung apps to non xperia(or non samsung) devices. I dont intend to make it for commercial use like posting on playstore. I just want it include on roms and make it such a way that other devs can include it on their roms. I have basic C++ knowledge and Im learning java on my own!
Normally you can just compile the app and add it to your work with the right copyright notice as long as your device/ROM is the minimum API level which is required.
How can i compile a app from source, which is already compiled like stock keyboard for xperia making it work on non xepria or LG optimus 2X Launcher for LG optimus one!
Edit: I'm new at this!

So have you got the sources? If you do, select File -> Import -> Existing Android code into workspace in Eclipse.
If you have already got a compiled app why don't you use that one?
If you mean resizing the images, rename the compiled apk to a .zip file. Then you can browse the content. Afterwards rename it to .apk.
