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 )..

[ROM] [ALPHA] CyanogenMod9 By alex1301

After a few headaches and some claps on the forehead i finished a very alpha build of CM9 for the IDEOS X5. It was ported from the Galaxy W port of arco68 with the files of Aurora ICS and this guide.
I don't know the bugs, so please PM me if you find a bug.
NOTE: I think i am only too stupid to sign a zip, so you have to sign it by yourselves or toggle verification in the recovery.

Alpha is not bad nor good, just a phase of software development. Please confirm the rom is working, otherwise I will move it to general section.

i´m downloading it right now, and will test it in one hour and i will say someting here...

It doesn't install, always Error status 6 in CWM. I replaced the METAINF folder in the zip with aurora, and changed the name of the zip itself, then it installs, but doesn't boot...
Next, I replaced the boot.img inside with the 3.0.8_v2 from DZO, then it boots but never goes further than boot animation

It is not rom development if you just switch some of the files, compress the file into a .zip and post it here.

Can anyone have a look at it and help me? I think the problen is the updater script, because i've only copied the one from aurora.

I will do a port from desire z
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

will test it soon btw yeah port from desire z would be better.

i have only one problem. the guide says the Easiest way to replace the kernel is to take a kernel update zip for your device, un-zip it and rename the zImage file to "boot.img-kernel" and copy and replace the file of the same name in your directory.
but when i take the boot.img-kernel from the unpacked aurora boot.img, it has 2,6 mb, but when i rename the packed boot.img from aurora to boot.img-kernel it has 3.0 mb. which one should i take?

Boot.img is ramdisk and kernel, compiled into one. You need kernel.
Unpack both boot images, replace kernel with auroras and change init.rc scripts to mount the correct partitions.
On mobile now so can't give a tutorial.

the guide i follow says, that i only have to rename the init.devicename.rc to init.huawei.rc. should i also change the init.rc to the one of aurora?

i've uploaded a new version. it's ported from the desire z, but i think it's too big for the x5. i can't upload it to mediafire, because it doesn't load my files correct. so i only can upload it to dropbox, but there is also a limitation of downloads. http://db.tt/u8PrGM5m

[mod][PATCH][AROMA] ROM_PATCH v1.2 for ics- full freedom

thanks a lot to amarullz for providing aroma installer, and thanks to nightshack0 I have taken his installer and modded to work according to my need but dont think that I have just copied and pasted the installer
had you ever feel that another galaxy s variant's forum have a ics rom which suits all your need but you cannot flash it because it is not yet ported to your device but now all this will not happen again with this patch you can install which ROM you want to flash there will be no boundation for you.
if you are getting status 7 or getprop error then a little work from your side is needed
extract the rom to a folder then go to /extracted folder/META - INF/com/Google/Android
from there open updater-script and remove all getprop lines
come back to META - INF folder and delete all three files
zip the file and flash it in recovery
NOTE:- to edit updater script use jota text editor(android), notepad++(windows)

Does it mean that the phone still be able to boot after flashing the rom(without needed files) from cwm but I have to move the needed files to system/app then to make it work properly?
Am I right?

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 )

for clarification

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.

Hello XDA'S Today i'm back with a useful guide/tutorial for ANDROID ROM PORTING
may have tried porting roms to their phones and has been succefull but most of the case is that we being end up in bootloops or cwm errors
So i'm dedicating this post for all users how are having a craze of rom porting or for atleast those wgo wanted to try rom porting
SO LETS START
And lastly Before you a port a ROM, make sure you asked permission from the Developer!
HERE THE BASIC ROM PORTING IS OVER BUT FOR SOME SPECIFIC COSTUME ROMS WE NEED LITTLE MORE STUFFS TO WORK ON ,THEY ARE SHOWN BELOW
ONLY FOR MIUI ROMS :
FOR ParanoidAndroid And PAC:
Specially For PAC Rom:
FOR SPECIFIC MANUFACTURE DEVICE
IF YOUR BASE ROM HAS ISSUES LIKE CAMERA ISSUE THAN YOUR PORTED ROM TOO WILL HAVE ISSUES.
NOW ZIP YOUR ROM AND POST IT BUT DON'T FORGET TO GIVE CREDITS TO THE DEVELOPER OF PORT ROM..

Can you port an AOSP/CM based rom using a Manufacturer/maufacturer based ROM as the base (i.e. touchwiz rom)?

So i own a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from AT&T... If i wanted to port a 4.2.2 Touchwiz rom to my tablet, would the steps vary much from those you've listed?

Good evening to all, first of all thanks for the guide.
The rom part, it works most of the things, porting is a rom for nexus 5 to take on g2.
I have problems with wifi, vpn and security in the setting menu.
Practically the vpn and security go on crash, while the wifi is active but can not find anything.
Do you have suggestions?
thanks
Sorry for my bad english
