How To Port Any ROM To TAB2
Things you will need installed on your PC
Notepad++
Winzip/Winrar
Q) What device should i port from?
Any Device
Base ROM and PORT ROM
Base ROM is what is Developed For Tab2
Port ROM is what ROM you want to port for Tab2
Note: If you are porting a CM(PORT) which is ICS the BASE should Be cm9... same for JB
Now Let's start Porting!
Extract the BASE ROM to a Folder named Base
Extract the PORT ROM to a Folder named Port
Open Base ROM and go to system folder
DELETE "app,fonts,framework,media"
Open Port ROM and go to system folder
COPY "app,fonts,framework,media"
and paste it in System folder of the Base ROM
Open Port ROM and go to etc folder
Open Permissions Folder copy everything EXCEPT handheld_core_hardware.xml and platform
and paste it in the etc folder of the BASE ROM
Open Base ROM and go to system/etc/init.d folder
DELETE all files except 00banner
Open Port ROM and go to system/etc/init.d Folder
COPY everything Except 00banner
and paste it in the init.d folder of the BASE ROM
Now open build.prop And edit
ro.build.display.id=add what you want here
ro.modversion=add what you want here
Now open build.prop of PORT ROM and find
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
COPY there 3 lines and replace them in the BASE ROM's build.prop
Now Open updater-script
scroll down and find the lines starting with set_perm (there will be lots of them!)
Copy only those lines From PORT ROM's updater-script to BASE ROM's updater-script
If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORT rom than copy them to your base rom system folder.
Open updater-script from PORT ROM and copy all the set_perm lines and replace them with the lines in BASE ROM
To prevent bootloop copy
libandroid_runtime.so
libandroid_servers.so
libmedia_jni.so
from system/lib in PORT ROM and REPLACE it with the files in system/lib of BASE ROM
Now ZIP the ROM and flash it
THIS WILL WORK....​

Can I use this guide for stock based roms?

No, if I am not wrong

For stock this won't work. But you can try if you want to..

So you can't use stock rom as the BASE and port a rom from a different device but same family? I'm wondering because there is almost no development on the Sprint tab 2 10.1" (P500) and I would LOVE to put SlimKat on this device. I loved SlimBean on my Nexus S 4g. How would I go about porting the custom rom to my device without using a stock rom as BASE? Thanks

I believe all custom ROM's use CM as a base, not stock. But could be wrong

[ROM]My-UI CYAN 1.0 out now

MY-UI cyan
finaly a complete relise, no major changes mainly theming. mizui and Frozen winter theme eliments used, new boot screen and some changes in apps. original web browser is back as i was unhappy with the porformance of opera when running from system files. a stable vestion of miui player added instead of ttpod to keep the miui theme. original file manager reinstated.
This is a full relise and I will now be working on a more complex rom.
hope you enjoy the rom. . . see you when MY-Ui2 is relised.
Rom:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1NN2WV1A
Glasklart theme:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BN6FZMHG
Here is the thread about the launcher, also theming info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220695
And here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225549
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3d gallery is replaced with picturen.
Music player is now ttpod.
Dialer is now touchpal.
Browser is now opera mini.
Also added
LG keyboard
Kik messanger and whatsapp.
The reason for this is to give you a free messaging service, the best being kik, but also whatsapp that is blackberry compliant. I'm also avalible on kik for quick questions.
And many other changes I've probably forgotten to list
UNDER THE HOOD
This rom is deoxed, rooted and running v6 supercharger. A few other minor changes too.
Im also including a theme for tencent launcher that will bring all icons inline with miui. I would advise you use it to get the full effect.
This is still a test rom so not everything is finished yet. but only a few things are left to do.
How To install.
kpn or kpn based rom needed.
Install cwm.
Flash zip with cwm.
Your done.
Notes
Rom apears slow on first boot while system sorts its self out, dont panic!
This is still a test, stable but a test. An early relise if you will.
Hope you enjoy. . .
Thanks To. . . .

About the apps, have you tried to update them via android market? If not just try it... If there is no update available then just reinstall them...
I had the same problem when cooking a rom for myself... & updating them solved the problem....
They work fine. But the minute i move the to the system apps folder they force close.

Set permissions as rw-r--r--

Yeah. Rw-r--r-- still no change. They work fine installed on the card. Its really odd. I thought it might be the gallery apk interfering. But even tryed removing that to no effect.

you need to put the libs files from quickpic in /system/lib.
if you do this, it should work
Looks great. Are you gonna put miui launcher in this rom?
I'll try adding the libs file later when im at my pc.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
To put miui launcher on would mean porting miui completely. Its my first rom, not that good. Tencent that im using is the closest i've found. Will give the look and feel of miui fairly well.

Use meizu theme, pick a MIUI theme for CM7 (you can find that in Android Themes & App section), then we can port the beautiful MIUI theme

Kph because in kpn i seem to get massive sod's. My peronal choice would have been the chinese rom in the forum. But im trying to keep it easy and simple for everyone to use. Kph seems more stable. I havent had one sod since modding.

Sry, i don't want to offend you. But i think a lot of people have less problems (like SoD's) with KPN. I think KPN (or maybe now KPO) will be a the better choice
maybe u could considering this
all apk already porting in MDPI

Take the AOKP rom control apk and place it under system/app.
If there's an app there named ROM control or whatever that makes it obvious its ROM control, then delete it and the odex file with it if there is one.
Also, this doesn't guarantee you will have fully functional ROM control, there may be more files needed or you may just have to flash an AOKP ROM for our device and remove w/e you don't want, but I see that you may be using this ROM as a base b/c of the working video cam.
You just have to experiment and think about it, I've done this before but it was months ago. I might do it again soon for myself.

He is definetly right, there are probably a couple more .apks that you have to move because they contain the Daemon, APM, and what not. Give it a shot though!
Thank you both for your help. I have just decided to wait until blackwing makes the camcorder work on his rom. I love aokp to much XD

AOKP on Galaxy Y possible ?

Hey there, this morning, i was on Ace thread, looking for a CM Rom to port to our phone, then, i saw on the ace thread " 4.2.2 jb mr1 ..." i looked the thread then i saw a sweet rom AOKP based. I thinked " It should be great if we can port it to Galaxy Y " So i thinked about that all school time and, correct me if i'm wrong But aokp is like CyanogenMod i meant, i think we need first a Pure AOKP rom ( used as base ) then port the " 4.2.2 jb mr1 " rom from Ace. So there is my question : " Is there any way to build this " Pure AOKP " rom for our Galaxy Y ? " Simple questio, sorry if anyone think that's a newbie question. I've just a thing in mind
Thanks in Advance

So i suppose it's kindly hard to build an AOKP rom because of the libs used in AOKP are from Quadcomm that's it ? Or no... ? However, i think The Galaxy Ace have approximatly the same hardware as a Y. ( maybe a Qualcomm CPU ) ?

Aw, i got it So if we take AOSP Gingerbread by Spacecacker as base, we can easily make a AOKP Rom by theme it and tweak it no ?
But we can't have all of the AOKP Settings right ?
Even if i know i Android Dev. We just net to add few codes and. Jar basically. The suestion is. " Do the .jar are fonctionnal on Galaxy Y ? " i don't think so isn't it ?

Let me correct you both.
Basically AOSP means pure android, compiled from AOSP Google source.
AOKP ROMs are based off AOSP, but include many mods and tweaks.
Some come from all over the place, hence the name 'kang'. They are compiled originally from AOSP sources but highly modified.AOSP is pure Google android.
AOKP is a custom ROM project, like CM based on AOSP.
We need an Ics AOSP first, then AOKP shall run. It's not so easy as you think.
I don't think it's easy man, don't say that i just thinked about that few times ago when i saw cool AOKP Roms one Ace or even high-end Android phone like the S3. Then i started to think and i was right when i said AOKP Roms need first a Stable base like CM's Roms

Kitkat Dialer

Anyone actually been able to install the Google Dialer (Kitkat) on their note 3?
I've tried the apk in system/priv-app and set permissions to 644 but it only forcecloses on me..
If I install the app it works but understandably I cannot make calls.

Me too, so tired of the Samsung one and all the other 3rd party dialers. Android police do have an article describing that it should work on most phones by pushing to priv-app and setting permissions, but no luck here. I'm getting it to work by installing normally but no calls then.. And no point..

Ah, ok. Probably works better there yes due to aosp framework. Hope someone has a solution for a tw rom. I can't use cm until it's completely stable, but using most of the stock gapps besides the dialer.. (for now ?)

Oh, I use temasek's builds on my i9300 and nexus 7, but cannot use it on my note 3, because there is no support SM-N900 by CyanogenMod. It's so sad.

Well, actually it is already almost perfect. The only bug I could find is that sound sometimes gets distorted if you have touch sound enabled. And through Temaseks great work on his rom and kernel, battery life is not anymore a problem...

[Req] Stock 4.4.2 port

Hello S2 lovers. Today I managed to get my hands on the note 2 4.4.2 and I began the biggest project : Porting 4.4.2 Touchwizz ROM. So I have a unfinished varyant of it... My problem is that I don't have Ubuntu and I can't decompile kernal and recompile it... So here is my request : I need someone who knows how to edit a kernal and who has Ubuntu to help me with the ROM... Also , if we manage to make a bootable version I need a name for the ROM . And I want you to think at a name.
Thanks in advance

The kernel is the easy part, I can take care of that for you.
The question is how you will make it boot as framework, libs etc need probably a lot of changes

Is the kernel the more easy part? It would be excellent, if you could make it as soon as possible. :good:
Share the kernel from your 4.4.2 rom and i will look into it.
But here is a good tip: use a CM11 kernel from s2 and change the framework, libs etc. Trust me to make it boot you dont need to focus that much on kernel but more on the files in the rom. So start by porting, i am sure you will get bootloop in first attemt so adb a logcat and take it from there. I sure hope you can adb.
