So with the Update.zip creator, would this be used for custom ROM's or only updating the firmware?

Has anyone tried the top link? I would love to have a dual booting machine. It says it is possible but they haven't had any luck with dual booting with Ubuntu. I like to try with windows and this seems to be the most user friendly and update to program.

If you have windows installed you just boot to the ubuntu cd and go through the setup. It will give you the option to resize the drive to make a partition for Ubuntu. Pick a size and go through the install. Once it is done when you boot you will have the option to boot from Windows or Ubuntu. If I remember right it will default to Ubuntu if you don't make a choice within the defined time. You can edit Grub to change that. You can do this to change it to windows if you prefer http://www.hackourlife.com/change-default-boot-order-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/.

You can also go to the Ubuntu website and you can download the windows installer that lets you dualboot if you didnt have a cd burner (or if its broke like mine lol) or if you dont wanna wait for the cd to be shipped.

Yeah you can use it for custom roms because it lets you edit the updater script. You could use it for themes, apps, scripts, kernels, or pretty much anything you wanna flash

I think it's very difficult because they have different hardware, different providers (one from HTC, one from Amazon), we only can port Rom when we have full source code and similar driver and kernel to make sure it can work.
P/s: the kitchen you used don't support kindle so you can't make Rom used it. Need edit updater-script manually.

Hmm... quit a big file there. You don't think that the kernel messed up while building it(its happened to me before. I think it got up to 700mb.)
Edit: just realized that its a .exe file, dope!
Maybe you should try putting one of our many kernels into it and seeing how that goes. It relys heavily on our kernel.

Oversized phone ? without the phone function ?

For starters I think you need to size down the ROM. The KF has 537MB /system and I can only assume that if the compressed ROM is ~500MB, then uncompressed it is going to be much, much higher.
You may be able to change the partition sizes to accommodate the larger size ROM. I was playing with a Sense port yesterday, based on the HTC Flyer, and ran into this problem. I may try to repartition it and see how it goes just for kicks.

I decided to see why the port I was working on is causing TWRP to just loop and to do this I checked what DMESG had to say. It appears to be an Out of memory issue. My guess would be it is being caused when it attempts to load the update file.

ok, i commend the effort here but this just simply isnt going to work without TONS of code modifications and reverse engineering. just copying files isnt going to do it. there is a reason why you dont see htc sense ported non-htc phones often. its simply not worth the amount of work that has to be put in. not to mention you'll need an experienced kernel developer who knows his ****. i would suggest not wasting your time on this.

[ROM][Beta] Everybody Rom

The idea behind this is that you download the rom and add tweaks to it and if its better than what I already have, that will replace the what's already up but remember it has to be based off of the orig. Once you have installed your tweaks/theme post a download link and sceenshots. I would like to have two different roms, one is ics based the other one is sense based.
[Edit] when you edit make sure you do not include miktweaks as i dont have permission to use that,if you do have miktweaks in there your rom will not be considered
Rom's current status:won't boot up past plash screen

Nice to see this posted here. Alright so now with basic troubleshooting. I'm not very great at this as I'm a themer but maybe a dev will step in and help out too.
First off I need to ask how you "Created" this ROM. What apks did you copy from where. what apks did you modify, how you modified them because we don't have much to go on. And also If you could upload your ROM to media fire or dev host or something and post PUBLICLY because the PM thing will end in failure.
Let's try to get this ball rolling :beer:

im gonna take a stab in the dark here and say its never gonna work without the proper resources because alot of the tweaks are done in the smali in the jar files. without the proper corresponding smali edits to go with the apks its essentially pointless but i wish ya the best of luck.

Porting Android 4.1, Jelly Bean to Desire HD

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.

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.

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.

I can definitely agree on that point. Let us hope someone ports it.

Isnt there a miui v7 for nexus 5? Not sure about 5x, but definately should be possible, just dont think that devs are interested in miui

Exactly. Only a few people care for MIUI now.

3rd post in this thread would help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-build-port-miui-rom-to-device-t3250984
When I started with MIUI port, we didn't had patchrom anyway near, so we followed something like this.

I may use some help here...
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.
