Hi guys, last days i got messages about a guide port miui4 to each device.
that is my method i use on my miui4 ports.
take a any cm9 or aosp based ics rom as base. with this guide, you can port miui4 from any device to your one. for best compatibility use own brand base to port. if you have desire s then port from htc devices. if galaxy nexus then try port from nexus s
first of all replace complete folders with miui4 one.
system/app
system/framework
copy libandroid_runtime.so lib from miui 4 (rom you port). without this file rom will not boot. if you get bootloop, try with base libandroid_runtime.so file..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
replace media folder with base rom (that themes, wallpaper, audio from miui work)
copy telocation.db and yellowpage.db to /system/etc folder.
copy content-types.properties file to /system/lib
copy invoke-as from miui4 rom to /system/xbin and give it permissions on updater-script
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/invoke-as");
(for backup & themes app work)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
copy liblbesec.so from miui 4 to /system/lib and give permission on updater-script
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/lib/liblbesec.so");
(for superuser app from miui work)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
change values from build.prop
ro.build.id=MIUI
ro.build.display.id=MIUI
ro.build.version.incremental=2.x.x (version number)
ro.config.ringtone=MI.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=GoodMorning.ogg
ro.config.sms_received_sound=FadeIn.ogg

if your base rom has issues, these issues will seen on this port too. example, if camera not works on base rom, then will on miui4 port also not work!
then add your stuff (updated apps, wallpaper or installer whatever you want )
make your zip and there is it. if you open your thread, dont forget give a link to based ics and port rom's.
that is method actually i use. for more info please use search on xda or ask on this thread. no private messages will answered from now.

I can't say anything about ldpi and mdpi devices. Miui is designed for hdpi devices. This guide is for hdpi devices only..
Some guys got it working on Mdpi devices with resizing but i don't know how's.

I've never even considered porting a rom, but I followed the instructions and it worked!

Its for advanced users, you should better leave it before you do something wrong and write here in the thread that you fried your Phone.
No offense.
Any idea if this should work on CAF ICS roms? Took a quick attempt without success, libdvm.so was failing in a bootloop - needed phone so didn't investigate much further.

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 )..

How to port any ICS AOSP based roms to your Device (AOKP, CM9 & many other)
- for best compatibilty
--> use same android versions. (4.0.4 -> 4.0.4 example)
--> use latest base from CM9 (is best choose for port) or any AOSPbased ICS ROM
--> use each brand for port (mean Desire HD -> Desire S or other HTC devices). you also can port other roms, but you will have issues.
PORT:
-> download latest cm9 base and extract it
-> download target rom and extract it
for Camera
use Camera.apk from base rom for camera issues fix.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
copy
/app
/framework
/media
/fonts folders and replace in cm9 folder.
repack your zip and let it boot.
if it doesn't boot then copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from target rom and repack your rom.zip and install again.. if you get bootloop anyway, then just type in adb "adb logcat" and share it with us in this thread..
if you dont get success dont cry, just try to port another rom you can not port all roms
for HTC Devices
to fix network auto select,
decompile framework-res.apk
go to \framework-res\res\values\bools.xml change
<bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">true</bool>
to false.

hi, there, and i own a huawei u8800, we allready have a aosp ics 4.0.4 aurora room but i would like to have cm9 or aokp into our phone. in this case based is aosp ics aurora and ported will be cm9 or aokp for example? i´m right?
maybe is better port cm9 from desire z to my huawei u8800, since they have the same cpu and gpu.
dont want tou build a rom, just port.
please i need help. thanks anyway.
lol be thankful you have an ICS rom.. Huawei X6 users like me are trying our best to port from u8860's ICS.
I'd like to ask if the method works for a device that does not have official ICS? i.e. porting an ICS rom to official GB?
Kindly advise sir, and thanks again!
I get the same that in miui v4... boot loop and adb says no device
I get AtCmdFwd error.
Could you post the link of latest cm9 base?
im getting stuck in a bootloop...

Rom trying to port- http://www.slimroms.com/ (the i9000 version aka galaxy s)
What i did:
1) opened cm9 base with 7zip, deleted app, framework, fonts, media folders
2) replaced deleted folders with app, framework, fonts and media folders from slim ics base 3.6
3) opened up slim ics 3.6 i9000 essentials with 7zip
4)navigated to app folder and moved apks files from ther to the cm9 base - did the same with framework, fonts, and media folders (I did not just copy the folders this time! i only copied the files inside the folders)
5) put zip on sdcard
6) rebooted and started log cat
any help would be apreciated if i dont answer back right away its because i have to pick my sister up from school
Here are the logcats: (All are the same logcat...but two of them are filtered)
I think I kniw what the problem is...gonna attemot a fix after dinner
EDIT i got out of the boot loops and booted into my portes slimics...now to fix the bugs...there is ALOT

Well i will share my knowladge to you people, two years of learning stuff about android....
This is only guide for porting nexus s roms to sgs phones, you cannot use this guide to port other rom to other device, well you can but dosnt ensurance that it will work.
If this guide dont help you (0,01 possibilities) LOGCAT YOUR BUILD!! I WILL TRY TO HELP
Tools needed /by saranhai/:
7zip (alternative to winrar, doesn't matter which you choose to use)
Notepad++ (highly recommend if you're on windows)
Android SDK/ADB (MUST HAVE, for troubleshooting and such)
dsixda kitchen (could come in handy)
First to port an ics rom you need winrar.
This are the steps:
grab an ics rom like cm9 or aokp to take the libs and hw folders
Never unzip the rom.
1-from cm9/aokp copy all outside system, i mean boot.img mtd etc..... and past it over the rom you are porting (nexus s rom)
2-enter system/app and remove torch.apk, crespoparts.apk and replace camera.apk with aokp camera.
3-enter system bin and replace this files with aokp/cm9 ones
*dhcpcd
*bluetoothd
*vold
*wpa_client
*wpa_supplicant
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4-enter system etc and replace this files with aokp/cm9 ones
*bluetooth folder
*dhcpcd folder
*Apnconf.xml
*wifi
*vold.fstab
*vold.conf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5-Then we go to the libs, enter system/lib and replace:
*HW folders
*modules folders
*egl folders
*libril.so
*libsec-ril.so
*libreference-ril.so
*libsec-ril-client.so
*libbluedroid.so
*libbluetooth.so
*libbluetoothhd.so
*lib_cameraclient.so
*libcameraservice.so
*libhardware_legncy.so (very important to wifi to work) hell this caused me problems
*libEGL
*libgles (the 3 files)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
--------------replace usr and vendor folders-------------------
And last edit build.prop, well first check if it boots then you change this and add this.
edit this:
ro.product.model=SGH-I897
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=SGH-I897
ro.product.device=SGH-I897
ADD THIS TO SIGNAL TO WORK!!
additional build propieties
ro.telephony.ril_class=SamsungRIL
ro.telephony.ril.v3
=icccardstatus,datacall,signalstrength,facilitylock
mobiledata.interfaces=pdp0,eth0,gprs,ppp0
ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.adb.qemud=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADVANCED USERS ONLY (dont ask me how) :
for working external sd (emcc) you need to decompile/recompile framework-res.apk
you need to change this:
xml/storage_xml with other storage xml from aokp or cm9

I´m not responsible for bricked devices (this shouldnt brick it) but i dont want anyone crying because i will laugh at you, it works for me..

This seems very easy, remove the listed files from the Nexus S rom.zip and add the Camera.apk from the Captivate cm9/AOKP rom.zip
Steps 3,4,5 seems very easy also, take listed files from the Captivate cm9/AOKP rom.zip and move them into the Nexus S rom.zip. Then we take /system/usr and /system/vendor from the Captivate cm9/AOKP rom.zip and move to the Nexus S rom.zip.
Last is editing the build.prop file.
Advanced step, I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730 which could mean editing the storage_xml will be easier.
Is that about everything needed?

Guide
What is base Rom:
The ROM which is Developed For your Mobile.. (like Aurora, CM7,...)
What is Port Rom:
The Rom Which you want to port to your Device... (like frozenpika,...)
1. So take any clean ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM.
2. Extract it Using Winrar.
3. Take the ROM you want to port. This Port ROM. Extract it also using Winrar.
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..
Select Zip..
Type the Name.
Click OK..

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?

I tried port CM9 for u8800 but now I'm waiting for Blefish's CM10.1. He said (on his twitter) that he'll release first preview next week.

in both the roms and go to res folder then to xml subfolder and copy and replace the storage_list.xml file from source to port rom
( framework-res.apk\res\xml\storage_list.xml)
Porting Wallpapers | Lockscreen Wallpapers | bootanimation
Usually you get a wallpaper/bootanimation that doesn't fit your device. Here's a quick tutorial on how to port it to your device.
Download & Install FreeImageConverter then launch it.
For Wallpapers & Lockscreen Wallpapers:
Click Add Folder... and add the folder were the wallpapers are
Then click Advanced Convert...
Select Exact Size and set the image quality to 100
Set your Width and Height resolutions for your device.
Uncheck Add "Converted by www.freeimageconverter.com"
Select Leave the same file name and leave the Postfix & Prefix empty. Then set your output in a folder.
For bootanimation:
Extract /system/media/bootanimation.zip OR /data/local/bootanimation.zip OR /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip (For Oxygen ROM, the bootanimation is built into the framework-res)
Do the steps above
Move the new resized folder(s) into your bootanimation workspace
Edit the desc.txt to match your device resolutions
Zip the contents ( folder_name desc.txt )
Set compression method to Store
Delete the extracted bootanimation files
Make sure this new bootanimation.zip is in PORTED

This method gives bootloop too often. It works only for very similar devices like Xperia J & Arc or Huawei u8818
Yes. This method gives a lot of bootloops. It only can be used on devices with hairline differences between specs.

The rom part, it works most of the things, porting is a rom for nexus 5 to take on g2.

Practically the vpn and security go on crash, while the wifi is active but can not find anything.
Do you have suggestions?
