Problem porting a rom? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried many times to port a miui ics rom but I can't get it to boot. I get the mytouch logo then a blank screen. If anyone gas any ideas why this is happening please let me know as I am completely puzzled about it?

I'm no dev and I've never tried porting nor cooking up a rom. But are you using the mt4g boot.img? From what I've read from other people commenting in other threads, most of the time, the reason for a ported rom not booting up is because the port isn't using the mt4gs boot.img.
I can be wrong so don't take my word for it. Just an opinion.

I've tried tdj ics kernel and the kernel used in virtuous quarto rc2 port. All I get is a dark screen after the mytouch 4g logo. I've changed libs and a bunch of files, I have successfully ported for personal use a couple of cm7 and a couple of sense 3.5 roms.

I edited the build prop for the glacier still boots to a black screen. I wonder if porting miui ics from dhd causes a problem with hardware acceleration on our phones?
Edit porting a miui gingerbread rom like galnet miui works.

I wish I don't own a computer right now, I think the problem is in the lib files.

There is a thread called "themes for cm7" in the themes and apps forum that have several flashable fonts available. They might be only compatible up to I think nightly #28 though.

or you can use the app Absolute System for root. It has boot Animations and fonts that do work in CM7.

[Q] MT4G Kernels

I searched in the "bible" for some kernels and they all seem incompatible to the Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 release. Anyone know of a kernel that will work with this release... First time Mytouch4g user. I came from the Vibrant world. This phone seems a little more dead than over there.

Its for all GB AOSP ROMS as far as I know. That includes CM7 and Variants as well as MIUI.

Sounds good! Would you say this is better over the kernel that comes with cm7.1.0?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Yes. Its an improved version with a wider range of frequencies and more governors.

Cm7.1 & 7.2??? I know its old

OK so I have been trying out cm7.1&2 but noticed that I don't have that steady of signal or my data will go out while on a call. After trying cm7.0.3 it seems to be more stable and based off 2.3.3(7.1&2 is 2.3.7 dunno if that makes a difference) but is missing some settings that I like from 7.2.
So my question is what do I need to do to have the tweaks from the 7.2 in the 7.0.3
Thanks for the help in advance
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Come on somebody has to know.
Either I gotta put the tweaks in cm7.0.3 or I gotta put the 2.3.3 base in cm7.2.
Just don't know which will fix the stability. All I know is the boot.img is the kernel

You're probably in over your head. This isn't some copy/paste business. You would need to compile 7.0.3 with the proper commits from 7.2. Also, the boot.img is the kernel+ramdisk.
I would be willing to try could I just follow the guide on the cyanogenmod website.
