Note:It is needed for backup & themes app to work
Copy liblbesec.so from miui 4 to /system/lib and give permission on updater-script
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/lib/liblbesec.so");
It is needed for superuser app from miui to work
Change values Some of the Values in build.prop of your ROM:
ro.build.id=MIUI

TROUBLESHOOTING AFTER SUCCEFULL PORT
After a succefull port also there can be many bugs present which has to soved logically
here are somethings which can help in DEBUGGING
1) IF GALLERY FC :
open the system/framework and find framework-res.apk file[can use any extracting app]
in both the roms and go to res folder then to xml subfolder and copy and replace the storage_list.xml file from source to port rom
( framework-res.apk\res\xml\storage_list.xml)
Porting Wallpapers | Lockscreen Wallpapers | bootanimation
Usually you get a wallpaper/bootanimation that doesn't fit your device. Here's a quick tutorial on how to port it to your device.
Download & Install FreeImageConverter then launch it.
For Wallpapers & Lockscreen Wallpapers:
Click Add Folder... and add the folder were the wallpapers are
Then click Advanced Convert...
Select Exact Size and set the image quality to 100
Set your Width and Height resolutions for your device.
Uncheck Add "Converted by www.freeimageconverter.com"
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 )
Set compression method to Store
Delete the extracted bootanimation files
Make sure this new bootanimation.zip is in PORTED

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.

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

[GUIDE] How to port AOSP ICS roms to your Device

How to port any ICS AOSP based roms to your Device (AOKP, CM9 & many other)
- for best compatibilty
--> use same android versions. (4.0.4 -> 4.0.4 example)
--> use latest base from CM9 (is best choose for port) or any AOSPbased ICS ROM
--> use each brand for port (mean Desire HD -> Desire S or other HTC devices). you also can port other roms, but you will have issues.
PORT:
-> download latest cm9 base and extract it
-> download target rom and extract it
for Camera
use Camera.apk from base rom for camera issues fix.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
copy
/app
/framework
/media
/fonts folders and replace in cm9 folder.
repack your zip and let it boot.
if it doesn't boot then copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from target rom and repack your rom.zip and install again.. if you get bootloop anyway, then just type in adb "adb logcat" and share it with us in this thread..
if you dont get success dont cry, just try to port another rom you can not port all roms
for HTC Devices
to fix network auto select,
decompile framework-res.apk
go to \framework-res\res\values\bools.xml change
<bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">true</bool>
to false.

hi, there, and i own a huawei u8800, we allready have a aosp ics 4.0.4 aurora room but i would like to have cm9 or aokp into our phone. in this case based is aosp ics aurora and ported will be cm9 or aokp for example? i´m right?
maybe is better port cm9 from desire z to my huawei u8800, since they have the same cpu and gpu.
dont want tou build a rom, just port.
please i need help. thanks anyway.

lol be thankful you have an ICS rom.. Huawei X6 users like me are trying our best to port from u8860's ICS.
I'd like to ask if the method works for a device that does not have official ICS? i.e. porting an ICS rom to official GB?
Kindly advise sir, and thanks again!

I get the same that in miui v4... boot loop and adb says no device

I get AtCmdFwd error.

Could you post the link of latest cm9 base?

im getting stuck in a bootloop...
INFO:
Device-Samsung Infuse
CM9 Base being used to port- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
Rom trying to port- http://www.slimroms.com/ (the i9000 version aka galaxy s)
What i did:
1) opened cm9 base with 7zip, deleted app, framework, fonts, media folders
2) replaced deleted folders with app, framework, fonts and media folders from slim ics base 3.6
3) opened up slim ics 3.6 i9000 essentials with 7zip
4)navigated to app folder and moved apks files from ther to the cm9 base - did the same with framework, fonts, and media folders (I did not just copy the folders this time! i only copied the files inside the folders)
5) put zip on sdcard
6) rebooted and started log cat
any help would be apreciated if i dont answer back right away its because i have to pick my sister up from school
Here are the logcats: (All are the same logcat...but two of them are filtered)

I think I kniw what the problem is...gonna attemot a fix after dinner

1. So take any clean ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM.
2. Extract it Using Winrar.
3. Take the ROM you want to port. This Port ROM. Extract it also using Winrar.
4. Delete app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder of Base ROM.
5. Now copy app, Framework, Fonts and Media folder in System Folder from Port rom to base rom system folder.
6. Now open etc folder in both the ROMs folder.
7. In etc folder of base ROM open permissions folder and copy all the permissions files in Port rom to your base ROM folder except platform and handheld_hardware and then open init.d Folder in Base ROM and Delete Every thing except banner and then copy all the files inside init.d folder of port ROM to Base ROM.
8. Now open buid.prop file using Notepad++ and make changes to these of Base Rom as you wish.
ro.build.id=
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.date=
ro.modversion=
9. In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values.
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=

Is this correct?
We made all these changes to base rom, edit build.prop and updater_script of BASE ROM, and then we must zip and flash the PORT ROM folder?

[TUT] How to easily port CM7,CM9,CM10 Based ROMs to HTC Aria

Easiest and best way to port CM7,CM9,CM10 Based ROMs to HTC Aria/Intruder/Gratia
Code:
I do not guarantee any successful porting.
I am not responsible for [B]bricked devices, dead SD cards, or a broken device[/B].
[B]YOU[/B] are choosing to make these modifications,
and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device,
I will laugh at you.
->Copied from some xda thread.
*****
But a rom, no matter how bad should *not* do any physical non recoverable harm to your device,flashing a rom or restoring a nandroid backup via cwm *should* immediately fix any problems what so ever.
And I will try to help in any ways I can.
I am NOT a developer, I can not code,compile,etc, I am only an android enthusiast with half a brain able to follow specific instructions.
This guide is actually somewhat a good combination of various "how to port roms"
guides found here on xda suited and very slightly modified for our beloved Aria.
Thanks to all of those threads and their writers.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actual Tutorial starts here:
I will try to make this guide as straight forward as possible.
PORT ROM:
First you need to figure out what rom you are going to be porting.
For our Aria, The rom you want to port should belong to a device that has:
HTC brand (optional but recommended)
A ArmV6 CPU (VVVV important)
A HVGA Resolution (optional, any mdpi should do,if not just open the system apk files using 7zip and resize all the BIG images.)
The Rom needs to be:
CM7 BASED OR CM10 BASED OR CM9 BASED.
The full zip size less than 150MB(Recommended).
What Does Port Mean:
This simply refers to the rom you will be trying to port.
Recommended device to port from is the HTC Wildfire S a.k.a Marvel.
But any other device
BASE ROM:
What Does Based Mean:
It means that the rom should have similar sources and stuff,
Meaning you can only attempt to port a android 2.3 rom if you already have a 2.3 rom on the device.(In our case cm7).
So,
For porting 2.3 roms, chose cyanogenmod 7.2 as BASE.
For porting 4.0 roms, chose cyanogenmod 9 as BASE.
For porting 4.1 roms, chose cyanogenmod 10 as BASE.
ETC... I hope you get the point.
:fingers-crossed:

Thing you will need:
A good Zip extractor and compressor. (I use 7zip, its free. If you have winrar or something else,it will also do.)
Notepad++ (This thingy is awesome! And you need it for some stuff)
Android SDK(Not the whole thing, just adb zip from our sticky thread will do.)
Some Basic Android Knowledge, Root knowledge.
Mostly Common Sense.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 1:
Extract our device rom zip and name the folder AriaRom,
Extract our Port rom zip and name the folder PortRom.
Step 2:
Delete the following folders on the AriaRom/system folder:
App(You can keep some non conflicting indepent apps if you want)
Framework
Fonts
Media
Step 3:
Go to
Code:
PortRom folder/system
and copy:
App(You can keep some non conflicting indepent apps if you want)
Framework
Fonts
Media
and then paste them to AriaRom/system.
Step 4:
You need to open these two folders side by side(on windows, open both folders then right click on the task bar and click "Tile windows vertically").
The two Folders are:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]AriaRom/system/etc
[*]PortRom/system/etc
[/LIST]
In
Code:
etc/permission
folder copy all the permissions files in PortRom to your AriaROM folder except
Code:
platform
handheld_hardware
Then open init.d Folder in AriaRom and Delete Everything except
Code:
banner
and then copy all the files inside init.d folder of PortRom to init.d folder of AriaRom.
Step 5:
Now
Code:
AriaRom/system/buid.prop
and
PortRom/system/buid.prop
files using Notepad++
On AriaRom Build.prop make changes as you wish.
Code:
[LIST]
[*]ro.build.id=
[*]ro.build.display.id=
[*]ro.build.date=
[*]ro.modversion=
[/LIST]
Copy and replace these values from PortRom buildprop to Aria rom buildprop.
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
Also Copy anything you Find Extra and important-ish in ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES using common sense.(Not much major stuff, but if bootlooped, copy whole thingy.)
IMPORTANT Step of commons sense:
Open up both
Code:
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
using Notepad++.
Compare AriaRom AND PortRom line by line(on two tabs in notepad++ easily done).
Copy extra/additional lines from PortRom which are not present in AriaRom to aria roms updater script.
Step 6:
If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORTrom than copy them to your Ariarom system folder.
Finally, zip the
Code:
META-INF
system
boot.img
data(if exists).
folders/files togather and use "normal" compression if asked.
Name the zip to whatever you want, and walla you have successfully ported the rom!

:fingers-crossed:
Doing the above steps should land you a pretty solid rom, as solid as the base rom.
Still,Incase of problems:
If the ported rom does not boot:
Stuck at boot screen
Bootlooping
Then copy system/lib/
Code:
libandroid_runtime.so
libandroid_servers.so
libmedia_jni.so
files from PortRom to AriaRom system/lib.
It should boot, if it still doesnt, check the above steps and find out what you did wrong.
Common reasons could be:
Build.prop mess up
Updater Script mess up
Forgot to delete or copy file
After it boots,
Everything that worked on Base rom, should work on Ported.
Every problem on Base Rom will exist on Ported.
In case of root related problems(settings not being saved,system app FCs,etc), install a root app like titanium backup or something and check if it works,if it doesnt its surely root issue,just download and flash latest superuser zip.
If some FC,Port rom funciton not working,etc issues appear, you need to decompile framework-res.apk using apktool and change device specific xml files to ours.This is a part where I have the most trouble and suck at.

I don't think so... the Samsung Galaxy Ace with device number S5830 should be Armv6, but in the Galaxy Ace Forums there is also a place for the Galaxy Ace II, which is Armv7. Maybe that's a bit confusing. But nims11 PAC-Man Rom is definitely for the Armv6 device.

hey man thnx for the tut but i tried porting the paranoid rom like you but i keep getting this error while flashing ( set_perm: some changes failed) i think it have something to do with the updater-script, could u upload the build.prop and the updater-script for me ? and btw why do we need the sdk ??

Here you go,

on THAT ROM,
IF you follow the guide & use my posted script,
100% assurance rom will boot and work. except cm
The sdk is for getting the logcat when a problem occurs.

In that case you'll need to unpack both boot.img aka the kernel , fix bootclass path in init.RC by replacing it with the value from port roms init.rc.
Ill try to port that rom soon and upload a fixed boot.img (if I can get it to boot),if you don't beat me to it. it looks cool.
Why are SMARTphones soo... Freaking Dumb?

Bootclasspath is the same on both roms. So there must be a mistake in updater-script and / or build.prop. I've just messed up my updater-script, I guess, so I'll make a new one and post it later together with the build.prop.

I got this pac rom booting & everything operational except per app dpi(exists in port rom).
This rom works with the guide.

Sadly, I didn't get any time to try so far. But on Sunday I lost my Gratia, so I won't continue this project; I've upgraded to the HTC Desire X.

That's a shame. Similar thing happened to me. I lost my Aria right before i had a chance to try this, and upgraded to the Nexus 4.

will this method work on cm10.1 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297580 ??

Could work, just try... I would do it if I still had the phone...

It should pretty much work,
If it doesnt, just send me the
Updater script
Build.prop
files of BOTH roms, And I'll have a look.
I wouldve tried myself but my aria has no network and has random reboot issues due to falling hard.

hey guys ,can i port a cm10 touchwiz rom to a cm10 rom for LG P700 ? ..

I don't think it can be used, coz when they are from different manufacturers, they'll need heavy framework modding etc which the tool does not do.
So its better to port from the sam manufacturer and a similar specs device.
Regards
N

i understand ,that was the real fun in all this porting thing ,i realy wanted a touchwiz inspired rom ! thanks a lot !

The tool won't help you with it coz each one would be different. There's a guide arounf here for porting manufacturer roms, try that
Regards
N

v2.3 released. supports init.d tweaks

Thanks ,maybe someone wil develope an automatic porter like this one for diferent manufactor devices..until then i'm going to search the manual way to port id! Cheers

An automatic "porter" for different devices roms is kinda impossible as this software would be able to practise magic lol. This means it would download the related kernel sources, edit them and insert correct code, including proprietary device files, configure the kernel and compile it (besides of that it must grab the toolchain and set the PATHs, etc, etc..). Then it would decompile the roms framework (of course including full automatic smali magic ) detecting the correct requirements and edit that stuff before it compiles and signs it with system sign keys.. And last but not least it has to compile board related drivers (for kernel and rom) and bake them into the project. When finished all processes it builds a full working flashable rom zip for your device - and if you are nice it will also download the right Gapps and copy all of it to your SDcard
Sorry for sounding like an a**hole Just joking a bit.
The point is that a software like that would do all the work for devs and we all wouldn't have to work that much.. It would be nice, but it's just too much code, too complex for a software to do this. Porting a rom to another device cannot be done with prebuilt files usually. You need to work with the source and that's a lot of work. Except the devices are using almost the same board, chipset and CPU.
Besides of that: This is a nice tool! Thanks for your work, this will be helpful for beginners to perform some first steps! :good:

im trying to port axiom for the hd to the m im using dhackers pere aosp as the base for the m. everything extracts fine then starts the porting process then at the end it says THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED THE FILENAME, DIRECTORY NAME, OR VOLUME LABEL SYNTAX IS INCORRECT. that is after desktop\romporter\temp\platform.xml 2 files moved any ideas?

By the end you mean which step? The end of extraction?
