Porting Android 4.1, Jelly Bean to Desire HD - Desire HD General

Hi Guyz,
This is kind of my Ambitious Project of Porting Jelly Bean to our Desire HD ... while I cannot do this on my own, I would be happy if other developers can help me in this. Most of our TOP DEVS have moved on to the Sensation and One series ... I think others (NOOBS like ME) should take an initiative to learn more about Deving.
I am currently trying to get the device Booted....will let know about the progress ...

Good luck to you sir. It sounds ambitious, but everyone has to start somewhere.

i an very skeptic about getting it booting up. but ill try my best.
i will also ask from help from an expert Linux and C programmer
EDIT: wow... i got thankses XD
obviously it didn't boot, and im not an expert so i have no idea whats wrong it kernel / rom.
sorry everyone, i think we should wait for the source code and for an expert developer..

One of the biggest issues you have will be the display drivers that on the SDK are made for the worst chip when it comes to Android/linux. I wil be honest with you. Until the source for the ICS kernel is released in a few months you will be fighting to even get the basic things working. Gonna need to spend lots of time fighting in linux for it to happen.

Hey man! Nice initiative!

He's already ported it to two devices, so you should be able to get some help there !

The biggest issue might be get gralloc working right...
E/HAL ( 1526): load: module=/system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7x30.so
E/HAL ( 1526): Cannot load library: link_image[1891]: 1199 could not load needed library 'libQcomUI.so' for 'gralloc.msm7x30.so' (reloc_library[1306]: 1199 cannot locate 'eglGetRenderBufferANDROID'...
That is libs searching other libs, meaning, compiling is the easiest way to fix thoose. but for that.. need source
You can easly get boot withought gralloc and egl... but, that will only bring a lot of fcs

rom stuck on splash screen.

can a bad ramdisk brick my phone?
because on all guilds i see they are saying to be careful with editing the ramdisk....

Starting apps may take a while (from my experiance anyway) cause its the first, fresh boot. Screenshots (if you can)? Getting really excited about this already (flashaholic senses are kicking in, lol)

[WIP] ICS SDK-Port
Ok so iv'e been following the "developer's" foox22
THANKS TO ANDROID REVOLUTION HD (Mike1986) for letting me use their port as a base of this!
(my 1.st zip was this way but then i got no boot.img that was optimized for this)
Forgive me for this post/topic, but this is the zip that should make the ICS to boot,
if you notice its a black and nothing else then its should be due to no "edited build.prop of our resolution!
that's why someone here before never got it to "boot"

if this doesn't boot up, try get a logcat
And yes you all other developers can try get me a logcat // REGARDS

i need to know what if its loading properly, if anyone just can try V007, as that's the one that is correct, boot.img loads all correct framework file's if it doesn't boots up then its a, screen resolution problem or a lib problem,

black screen, you did wipe everything ??
Moving this to General - there really isn't any real development going on other than some copies, pastes, and asking testers to bork their device. The OP can't test this on his own device but is asking others to do it for him. This is not development. When something of substance happens - then create a new thread that is actual development in the development section.
ok so to repack the boot.img
blobpack <headerfile=kernelblob.HEADER> <outfile=kernelblob> <partitionname=? kernelblob.ebt or kernelblob.LNX > <partitionfile=kernelblob.ebt or kernelblob.LNX >
and is this even nessesary ?_? kernelblob.LNX-config
what did this come from, after i repacked the kernelblob.LNX O___o

Damn you Google...
Just so people interested in compiling the sources know :
I wanted to compile sources.
repo did not work : you CAN'T use last python3, downgrade to python 2.7
make : you CAN'T use last make 2.82, downgrade to make 2.81
Java you CAN'T use last openjdk7, you CAN'T use opejdk6, downgrade to sun's java 6 SE
Perl : you CAN'T use perl 5.14, downgrade to perl 5.12...
maybe more, but I can't tell you, because I gave up from there....
come on... what the hell Google ?!

Well looks like CM9 will be out in about 2 months..hope it gets ported to our device soon after that.

Maybe you could ask him for directions?
Because MarcellusBE tried but couldn't boot, if he could boot it, maybe he could also delete some of the bugs (since he had to do the same for CM&).
Also another question from me, did he port from Sources or from the SDK?
Because the things you explained reminded me of the ICS SDK port (No touchscreen working, no camera or wifi and the changing of the dpi(link to that thread here))

Porting CyanogenMod to Desire 820s MT6752

I came across CM12.1 rom for Lenovo K3 Note on needrom. Considering that K3 have the same chipset as ours, I've been thinking that it can be ported to our device.
I've tried to port it past few days but failed. Any developer would come up and try to port it?
What have you done? Device tree something else?
Nope. Just changing libs here and there, according to this guide. I'm still noob in porting roms so I can't do much.

Let's wait for the response then
Would be graet to see CM to release this device's potential. Especially since HTC is taking it's sweet time with 6.0 update and 5.1 was officially skipped.
Anyway if you would need some testers I would gladly help.
Good news! The permission has been granted. I will try my best to port this rom.

I already did, but I can't repack it. So instead I tried looking for other roms while staying away from dat files - cm12.1 ulefone be touch 2 and blisspop k3 note.
Now I'm having problems with the kernel. The rom won't boot at all, the worse I can't get the dmesg.
I don't have much free time to explore kernels in detail. If anybody can help me with porting the kernel, it would be a pleasure.

Hello guys hope you have been doing great, Was too busy with school, exams and stuff.
Good news!! I have finally managed to boot into CM 12.1 after I successfully ported it today.
It's lightning fast but has some bugs: USB, bluetooth and Sim don't work currently and it needs some resizing of the framework images.
I will try to work on it until Sunday and hopefully someone else can take over with modifying it

PathROM was designed to help porting MIUI to devices. I used it 3-4 years ago for porting MIUI to my LG P500. A developer/user could definitely go the manual way, but it would be mess.
Anyways, why do you need MIUI on your 6P? I have had a nightmare using MIUI. And last I used was on the Nexus S.

Well, i just like it more than i like cyanogen or other roms... Also has awesome themes and i like the design of the rom.
I understand that is not maybe the best rom for modding or battery usage, but still a great looking rom.

I extracted everything that is necessary and I have copied over the files, how to symlink everything together again? I'm using windows, I suspect I should use linux and extract everything there, right? Or there is any android kitchen (that support 6.x) that helps with this?
Many thanks

I remember using a script from one of the developers, not sure who or when, or would have found it for you. Give a swipe on XDA for Android Kitchens that could help. I am sorry that I am not able to help much here.

Thank you guys, I will use your help.
Today I will look into it, for the moment i'm still figuring out how to keep symlinks and permissions on windows, but i guess it's impossible. I will try firing up a vm with nix if everything fails.
Ok, so... I made a system and boot img, but I didn't tested those, and I can't get the updater-script to work. If someone helps me with this, I will be really thankful.
The permissions and symlinks part is something that worries me, but I keeped the symlinks and permission from original system.img filesystem by mounting it as a drive in linux and applying mods there.
Also, I keeped every part of the symlink script that camed with miui, so it should tecnically work.
If some of you guys helps me testing this, we can do it.
**** WARNING. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE AND AT THE MOMENT, IT DOESN'T WORK!!! ****
Here is the rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!b90GSJRa!7rXM2UhwtEw8M0fbIrK2F3za9w5KTGY1FPD4IGmHu1k
It was ported from the Mi Note (not the pro) which has really similar specs to our device, and this version also includes an italian translation (so there are 3 langs, English, Chinese and Italian)
No ones helping? I really wish i could help you with the testing but as i dont have computer access right now dont wanna brick my 6p without being able to repair it without pc.
Ok, i managed to get the rom flashed... So. The boot image seems almost fine, since i got to the bootanimation screen. There, it stucks.
I don't know how to debug it, since the adb doesn't show up (and is active in kernel)
I activated adb by the use of:
Code:
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
in the kernel default.prop... I don't know if these lines are outdated, but i'm still trying guys.
Also, you can reach me out on hangouts at: cappy95(at)gmail.com
