Porting Sense, Is it possible? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey peeps,
I ain't a developer but I have my hands good on Compiling roms and kernels! I have been porting roms lately and I was wondering if we can port Sense from Droid DNA or HTC One M7 to the S4!
I know many devs have tried but they failed but I still want to give it a shot!
A message to the mods: Please move this to the section you think is the best for this thread :fingers-crossed:

All i'm gonna say is framework, it requires a lot of framework changes and such.

[REQ] Porting G2 Rom

hey guys, there is a new rom out for the g2/desire z that is a really nice piece of eye candy, its a different rom like the miui / cyanogenmod
I tried my best porting it using the kitchen available in the android forum but i get an error while trying to flash with CWM... anyone have better guides to port roms into the HD2 ? maybe a dev can take a look at this and do it
Please take a look at the original forum for the rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963755
Wouldn't know how to do it but damn... that's sexy!
You should try DM some dev's and ask them to port it.

sexy is indeed the right word my good sir, however I wouldn't really like asking someone to do free work for me...
I would more appreciate the gift of knowledge to learn how to port these things! there are tons of guides out there but I feel like those who know how to do it probably know the secret and its a much simpler process..

Might be useful to all the ROM builders out there...

Hey guys i found this on the net... in a newbie to android.. So all you people are in the process of cooking up ROMS for our device.. so i thought this might be useful..
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/04/29/huawei-apps-android-phone-download/
Its a list of ported Huawei apps from other Huawei phones.. i think they are taken from an Ascend P1.
PS: I also have a question for you.. guys.. im on stock GB.. how do i / can i install these apps? (i tried regular install doesn't work)
and GB USERS DONT INSTALL THE CAMERA APP IT WILL DELETE ALL YOUR PHOTOS WHEN IT TRIES TO INSTALL AND IT WILL FAIL.
Let me do it in a cool way
Hi this is Rittik. I guess you are new to android. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I am assuming you are male,So am calling u as "bro". Anyway.
Bro thanks for your wonderful share but,While cooking/compiling/building Android ROMs developers even build the apps together. So i would say this thread wont really help any rom cooks out there. Its just a share of apps. Thanks for sharing.
Another thing is This is the development forums,you could have written in U8800 general forums with the Tag "u8800pro".
I will press a "Thanks" button to motivate you to keep sharing
ok!

hey thanx for the reply.. well jus thought you guys might want to include some of this in your ROMS.. and I didn't include it on the general forum beacuase majority of the posts are regarding u8800 ..the u8800 pro stuff seems to not stand out. but I'll keep in mind what you said
Awesome the thing is most of these wont work because these were taken from 4.1 stock Ascend's ROM. Which will need Standard libs or framework to work completely . I have tried them. Thanks for sharing once again.

[??]ColorOS for I9500 how to port to I9505 / I337(m)

Hey guys, not entirely sure where to port this but here goes.
I was watching the product launch of the oppo N1 and noticed their ColorOS looked like something fun to try out.
Did some poking around on their website
ColorOS forum without translate
Person taking credit for it on XDA with their own forum when it is actually provided by OPPO : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455932 (side note original link is an ODIN file and this guy did make a flashable zip so he should get some credit
Anyways I was wondering how tough it would be to port it over to our devices aka I9505/I337(m)
Anyone have any tips, maybe suggestions on where to place this thread for better reception?
Thanks!
YOU RIGHT!!

I've tried to port it a few times, i'm having trouble finding a good base rom so i don't think i'll be able to make it happen myself
damn!
I saw that this rom is based on the MIUI, right?!
now, if the difference between the i9500 and the i9505 is only the processor why don't you take the Prism ColorOS ROM v5, and put this kernel download646. mediafire. com/akz46i2vruzg/gy4tnpf6d064f8v/MIUI-Abyss-GT-I9505-1.6.1FSam.zip into it?! I haved this problem when I installed the MIUI ported for the i9500 that doesn't work on my i9505... maybe this is a good strating point! @AL_IRAQI PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING! PLEASE! :crying:

Hi Al!
Please give me an aswer! A port of your great ROM for i9500 shouldn't be so difficult: it's just a kernel matter isn't it? can you do something for us?! please answer me!
thank you so much and sorry for spamming.. that's from me.
this is the answer:
Hi buddy
No.
You need to patch Samsung Rom for i9505 again
Or maybe port HTC One Rom
I can't do anything for i9505
I'm sorry buddy
maybe for all of you guys that can help... unfortunally I'm not able to do such great things from my PC...

I had thought this as well but previously on Prism v1 i had asked him which base to use and got the following answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47428345&postcount=163 So i've been trying to do that. The big problem is the kernel and not having the right system links in to the rom. It's not quite as simple as flashing the rom and then putting a new kernel in because of all the back end stuff unfortunately.

I had actually ended up PM'ing him for a while trying to figure it out after i settled the base issue it turned into a kernel issue then a system link issue and then i just gave up.
Might take another swing at it over the weekend if i h ave some free time, we'll see.

[NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP]Android M Dev Preview System Port

TESTING HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING. WE HAVE EVERYONE WE NEED CURRENTLY. WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT WE NEED MORE, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
This thread will be used to notify the members of XDA as to our current progress. Once an official release is ready, this will be converted to a Q&A thread. Currently we are working out some kernel issues and will let you know where that leads us. This will also be where we look for testers as we expand to other variants of the G3.
UPDATE: Currently our team is looking for a name. Since it was formed from random community members, we have decided to come back to the community to ask for suggestions as to what we should name the team. I would also like to state that we are currently testing a kernel that may get the M Preview booting. So wish us luck.
I'd love to help but I'm only s beginner in ROM porting but what would I need to do for me to help you? I'll give as much help as I can give.
Edit:
Try asking @autoprime and @timmytim for help with making the flashable zip/cleaning up some bugs and other stuff

Yeah, really it doesn't need to be changed to the new format, but it would need a whole new updater-script, which I am not as familiar with as I would like to be due to time constraints and other priorities. So if @timmytim or @autoprime could take a look and help me out (if it's not too much trouble, of course) that would be awesome.)
ask also @LastStandingDroid i think he could help as well...or try post in developers thread.there are many geniuses there
Cloudyfa might able to help
Ps Good to see that someone started working on the M version
Ps2 I have seen you trying to port android wear to galaxy gear 1
That's pretty awesome! Unfortunately I cannot help more than just cheer for you guys.
I've got a D855 and I have some experience messing around on Linux and Windows. If there's anything else I could help, just PM me
Tapatalked thru my LG <3
I also am a beginner to porting ROMs but have both a Linux and Windows workstation, so I am here for help if needed. New XDA account, forgot old my old account's credentials lol.
Good Stuff!
This is good news! I cant code atm but I was looking for this ROM. I read that they released the beta rom So I knew it was only a matter of time before someone created one for the G3
I can't help with anything ATM, but I'm glad to see this being worked on so soon, I'll definitely be cheering you guys on, God knows when LG will update.
Nice..... I'm no good with codeing but if you need a tester I'll risk my G3...:good:
We need help people! Someone who knows a little about this can shed some light of what we need to accomplish this port?
Pm me if you guys need a tester
I have a g3 d855, if you need tester for that, I could help in the future.

Yeah. Unfortunately I no longer have a Gear 1, but someone has picked up where I left off. And thankfully, someone with the Verizon G3 and some porting experience is taking a look into modifying the boot.img to support M and has provided me with a baseline updater-script that I can modify to fit the situation.

If I get a port running smoothly on my D850, we are then going to branch to the VS985, then the D855 should be right behind.

Just double checking that you know that currently all I have is the files merged for a ported system currently, not a flashable ROM yet, right? Either way, I will keep everyone up to date on the status of the port here.
