How do you use a Nand kernel on an SD build?
Specifically, I want to use Marc's v 1.5 Sense kernel on Boxmax v6.5 Sense 3.5 build. Boxmax did provide the v 1.4 kernel packaged for his build, but has since said he will stop developing due to other priorities.
So basically, I'm currently using the 1.4 kernel, and I would like to upgrade to the 1.5 kernel. How would I go about doing that? Is it as simple as replacing the zimage? or is there some other things I have to do?
Anyone have any idea how to do this?

Well, that's what I'm asking how to do.
I have an SD build. I can't use CWM to flash the kernel. So I'm asking for the proper way to do it.
There's a zimage file. There's also a META-INF folder and a system folder.
Do I just replace the zimage file on the Android folder on my SD card? Or is there more I have to do?
It would help if you actually read my first post...

It would really help if you use search but nevermind.
Find guides how to cook rom. In there there is part choosing your kernel.
Be aware that u may get into problems by replacing/updating kernel

Thanks for the response.
I was just mainly going through the threads hoping someone would post an answer or something similar. I tried google search, focusing it specifically on the XDA website, but after going through ~3-4 pages and not finding anything remotely close, I gave up.
Anyways, thanks for pointing me in a direction (hopefully the right one).

make 'root' folder inside your android folder.
place boot,meta-inf and system from the kernel , then reboot.
but some times problem is from wifi connection.
hope this help.
And I forgot. U have to wipe dalvik cache when u change or flash kernel

Thanks for trying Cjovecje!, but... everything you have posted was about Nand roms, and didn't talk about SD roms at all. SD rom information is much harder to find I don't know if you tried using a SD build vs a Nand build, but the two are very different in how they are set up and run.

Any body know a noobish way to convert cwr zip's to a SD (boot from haret/WM) ?
Thank's in advance !
There is no noobish way to do that...
You know an other way you can share maybe?
I am 100% sure it cannot be done easily, never heard of a method to convert it anyway. I am not a chef,but I guess you have to cook it separately, just ask the chef of a ROM you'd liked to have in a NAND form, and maybe (but probably not) he will cook a nand version.
Its just that i wanna change the clockwork file's to a SD build.
If i extract the cwr zip file ,i have no system.ext file ,its a system folder.
Haret is missing to ..

thats why a few posts up it was saiud no easy method of doing it
unfortunately if it was as simple as 1 click then everyone would be making their own roms
The fact that it was said that there is no easy method is sufficient to get our developers going -- they will create such a solution, since it would be considered a challenge.
This is XDA after all.
As wrote in the title.. because of the new miui are not more producted in via sd I would like to produce it but I don't know how is possible.. are there people that can say me how is it possible to do it?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
Technically it should be possible by converting the system files from a nand build to a system.ext2 file and using an sd initrd.gz, and I had several devs trying to teach me to do it but I was never able to get it to boot. I never tried converting a miui rom though so who knows.
i havent actually done it but i am able to port most of the roms except apps and framework. the second i do that it wont boot
I have the same question because I want to use MIUI 1.4.1 too. Or is there somebody that wanna do it?

genext2fs -d <source-folder> -b <size of ext2> system.ext2
^Bscly. Of course it requires a Linux box.
in order to get the build to boot you'll have to correctly mod the files in linux

Great, thanks a lot. downloading right now. will try tomorrow.
I wish there could be a manual/tutorial how to do it. I hate begging people to get it done for SD. I doubt your chef would be doing every new version of MUIU to SD. That's why it would be great to learn so that me and others like myself could do it on our own.

All MIUI roms needs language pack after installation. In the earlier SD builds, the language pack was placed in the root folder and the device reboot would update the language pack.
BTW someone already ported the 1.4.8 build for SD/MAGLDR in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12839635&postcount=206
Just an idea... shall we form a team, create a thread "Porter Series SD Roms" or something like that and try porting all the NAND roms to SD build?
But are there any rules in XDA that prohibits us from doing this? Did not want to end up being banned here.

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

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 Everybody,
first of all, Happy Merry Christmas,
guys, I try to understand if what I looking for can be done or if there is some way to do so.
I find many NAND Android ROMs which are without DataOnExt, for example HyperDroid-CM7.
But I will be glad to know if can be possible to install DataOnExt after flashing the ROM on NAND.
someone can tell me if this is possible? Please...
Cheers in advance..

Dear Marvlesz,
I was writing a PM to you just to ask you about that but I changed my mind and I opened this thread,
I saw that thread and like always you make me a criminal
That thread is a lot too complicated to make it right, there is not any easy way?
I mean flash DataOnExt anfter installation or something similar?
Haha, I am not making you a criminal or anything, but rather YOU are making yourself a criminal.
I mean seriously, here is a quote of that post:
How is this done?
The Easy way - Thanks to @Kokotas (Note that I have not updated Kokotas' .zip file to include the recent changes (20th October 2012) (See The Long Way below)
Visit the post (quoted below), thank @Kokotas, download the .zip from the post, flash it in recovery and lets us know how it goes. Did I tell you to make sure you have a NANDROID backup?

I noticed that you rarely thank those who try to help you, or even manage to help you!
Thanks by words is not beneficial for them as much as pressing the thanks button. The button is there for a reason.
I also ask you kindly to go over your past threads, such as the almighty battery life thread, and thank everyone who tried to help you. Not just by saying "Thanks!", but by pressing their thanks button!
An example is shown on the above post, the thanks button is located right next to the "Quote" button.
I click thanks for you.
Last one thing, the DataOnExt have to be flasher via recovery, buy I do not have the recovery installed on my Phone, I got Android on NAND which was installed via MAGLDR in Flasher Mode.
Now if I will flash the Recovery my Android will be deleted, right?
I can't find any explanation for this, do I have reinstall all again?
I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall everything from scratch .
Why are you using the flasher anyway? All ROMs that use flasher are old and outdated .
(By the way, I didn't mean just thank me, I meant everyone.)

not so, , , OP could use cwm that runs from sd card, and use that to flash the dataonext.zip to the current android, , HOWEVER, , the fact that he has no cwm on there already tells us that the version of android he is using is probably the original proof of concept (desire stock) and may or may not work with an ext anyway (its not rooted, for a start), so OP would be better picking a more up to date rom anyway (one with dataonext built in would be a good start) and flashing again anyway.

I did that on one of my two HD2, 1 have Gingerbrad and the another one have ICS 4.0.4 but currently ICS give me big problems to run programs which Gingerbrad do not have. On ICS I can install the apps but they crash after run them.
So now I try to keep my Gingerbrad but expand it with DataOnExt, anyway run CWM from sd is a good idea, I will give a shot on that, if something go wrong I will reinstall all from scratch again.

I was skeptical when I wrote that sentence, because I knew you'd come and say something like that. Because that happened before.
But I also wanted him to cope with the rapid development of the HD2 and the recoveries. Besides, that ROM is outdated anyway, i.e. the ACA gingerbread.
So I've seen many posts about porting android from other devices to this mobile , and 2 of them use SD-card boot using haret and some other files.
My question is , how do they create their own boot from SD ROM? I know this is the wrong section but I'm desperate , I'm trying to keep my winmo and have ICS at the same time , any help appreciated.

thanks for the reply ,
so I found the system.ext2 from the CM7.2 and replaced the files inside with the files from your ROM 9.1 , (I copied the files from the folder system).
My question is , does any initrd.gz and any zKernel work? Or everyone is different? (this is basic android and not basic SD , so please help!)
thanks
zImage is the kernel, so you can't do cm7 kernel with cm9 kernel.

so is there anyway to convert your CM9's Kernel to a zImage? Or where can I find it?Because I'm trying to keep my WinMo and make my own Boot From SD CM9.
thanks
EDIT: How about extracting the zImage from your boot.img and then using it ....I believe it should work , or I must use some more editing?
