Stockwells porting script question.

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 )..

Sori if i'm not wrong, aroma give more optional menu such as diff kernel, bootanim, slected app to install..
If u want just to full installation why choose aroma?? That's why creed never want to use aroma.. I know maybe the reason is all work can't installed into device or maybe all work must installed if not will get problm like bootlop or else..
It's only my opinion but i know little part of aroma.

So how ur aroma??

its quite famous outside there but only a little member here are know about aroma installer. if you know how to use it why don't you share us about it savie?I've found that using aroma to install a rom is fun and gives us more freedom when install a rom. you can make a simple guide how to use it to install a rom. well..I doubt if it could be used to install the kernel since our sgy use different method, but maybe we can try to modify it.

1. I don't have capability to write a guide (my bad english) and permission to copy it from author.
2. I think explanation from original thread is enough and just read all thread is enough to know how to use it.
3. Aroma is very interactive installer and many reason the custom rom dev use it or not (see my older post). It's all back to taste and creativity from dev especialy for aroma-config but for updater-script can follow ur guide (kurotsugi-kun)
4. Actually why i ask OP wanna use aroma to know what fitur in his installer and after he answer i just give opinion and openmind. In my personal still want OP create rom with aroma since there's no one custom rom with aroma installer and hope i can help. But i don't see respond from OP now or maybe busy with other work

Well I tried to figure out how aroma works but it compatibility is VERY bad with our galaxy Y. Though it allows us to use touch interface but the installer is unable to recognise the touch's on the phone which leads to wrong calibration. This is dangerous because it can result in bad installation of the rom. I had PM'ed the dev of Aroma but I did not get any reply :/

Same with me thd dev annoy my pm maybe he busy and now he stop the project cz dont have android phone.
It's not dangerous and very compatible with all device ldpi-hdpi and of course working to installing rom and kernel too.
It's all about taste and we work in low-end device so i think we should accept our device weakness like display etc.
For calibration in sgy just try 0.9 15 0.9 15 and for me it's working just change with your taste.

will anyone just give us a tutorial for how to use it....

THEMES for LSxxxx 4.1.2 only in 2nd ROM

Hi all.
I open this thread about how i theme my OMEGA V20 LSD ROM only for people who are using an LSD ROM (works with LSJ,LS8 or >) in 2nd ROM.
Before continuing reading my speech, You have to follow this uniq thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120514
to understang what i'm talking about.
If you have understand the thread, you can adjust and use my ZIPs as you want.
(I use the thread mentioned with OMEGA V20 LSD which i REPACK for good use in 2ND ROM.)
I Assume that my ZIPs THEMER are working only in this configuration.
What about this special configuration with a little explaination :
due to the volume of LSJ,LS8,LSD rom,your system have to be organize like that :
\system\app\*.apk
\data\app\app\*.apk (which contain apks system which normally are in \system\app\ but in our case, they are
symlinked in \system\app\*.ln so we have gain place in partition \system\ , also *.apks and *.ln are
put with the good rights.
So if you have this configuration you can use my ZIP and in case modified them before flash if your APKs system are put in <> forders from mine.
I have to modify installtheme.sh and updater-script too.
You can see some example here too :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCpwfLOP4As
some other interesting screenshot on pages http://paymadman.blogspot.fr/2013/03/theme-pour-omega-v20-lsd.html
and http://paymadman.blogspot.fr/2013/02/omega-v20-lsd-orange-ou-vert.html
If i make a mistake in creating thread here, inform me to help me too.
Thank's for reading until here and hope you have also understand my poor school english we learn in France and excuse it
All my ZIP here or here always updating
Be careful
Sometimes flashing my ZIP take very very long time but dont be affraid, it's not freeze like windows XP before blue screen , you have to be patient during flash, that's all

If someone make Omega(or any other stock rom) looks like a CM10.1 that would be an achievement for sure.
Nice info man.

Sent from my C2305 using XDA Free mobile app

Will be more than Happy to test it.. But please tell us from where did you port.. what did u do...?? any features..?? some extra info..
Just posting a zip file link and asking us to test is not the right way...!!

I have done porting the old way and have taken some files like framework.res from the port and put it in the base..... I have not done major changes which will affect system...... I have done replacing of lib camera and lib audio and some folders in the etc.... No changes with the meta inf folder.... mostly it should work........ I will be doing a lot of work on themes and ram for better performance(will be taking out some bloatware) .....I will be changing boot animation...... But for now I want to test it..... Thanks for replying

Porting works only on same android version. Anyway it doesn't work in new versions of android. @Judge Joseph Dredd please move to Q&A
Sent from my A114 using XDA Free mobile app

Aniketh... The title says it all..... I have ported cm11 and x rom v1 by x user... Pls check out his rom

A few things here, if I may, first and for most, this does not belong in this Section.
1) Ports do not go in the Original Development...
2) You do not have the Device to test yourself? And if you need to test a ROM, see #1 here
3) And the Format of this OP, is something to be worked on, which is the least of your worries. Take a look here for an example format for a ROM thread.
Thread Closed for the above reasons

Test Kernel

I build a kernel for s2 and n7105. I'd like to extend support to n7100. This is an anykernel TEST zip just to check on potential issues before I open a thread. Normally the kernel would provide dual boot but again this is just a test. Should work on either TW or AOSP as my source allows for both. Again for n7100 only. Please backup EFS at minimum as I do not own the device and have no way to test. Thanks and please leave feedback. Normally Stweaks is supported but I have to add it to the ramdisk and I just used anykernel for now to avoid having to setup dual booting ramdisk until I know the kernel itself is working
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cio9t6rc5ho4rg5/Shift_7100_anykernel.zip?dl=0

i downloaded it I'll test it later on

Welcome to N7100. Dual boot option sound awesome, also watching DT thread. But with dual boot also need dual recovery ? Thank you , will try later and report.

Could it be compatible with 4.4.4 port, would be great

great..a new kernel for our n7100..

Yes dual boot will require a specific recovery. This is just a minimal test, no ramdisk, no anything. Features are there if you use devil control app but I use stweaks in real releases

Using philz? turn off the the binary check and it'll flash. Or just change the binary in the meta folder with one from a newer rom
Nevermind, I'll fix it. Be home before long. Any kernel zip needs edited. Thought I changed it, missed a line.

@rogersb11 first of all thank u for ursupport just tried to flash the kernel first I got the same error as other people then changed the binary still the same error I checked the updater script and it was failin in the first line I.e assert ... the device was shown as p880 so I removed the assert line and was able to successfully flash the kernel but unfortunately my phone didnt boot at all... I tried almost everything like intalling the stock kernel also replacing the mali bolbs also flashin this kernelover agni and nadia still noluck in bootin.... maybe u posted the kernel forwrong device.... hope this washelpful and eagerly waintin for next test version
Thank u

It's for the correct device. Should have booted if you changed those things. What rom were you running?

Ok guys, here is another test kernel. This time is SHOULD have full dual boot support for both samsung and aosp. You will NOT be able to dual boot however without my recovery which I will build if the kernel is working. Stweaks support included. Please try out on both Samsung ROM and AOSP ROM and report back. Backup EFS first as it's untested and I don't have the device. Thanks in advance guys
