There are 10 dozen porting guides for AOSP ROMs out there. Where they fall short, you have logcat. Give it a whirl, bro.

If you think it's because your laptop is not fast enough... Then you should prob not try to port it.. Ask in your own forum...

Sup guys,
Just got the G2 *AT&T* yesterday and I must say so far I'm pretty happy with it. It already had CM11 on it so i never got the chance to even test the stock OS. I just have a few questions about this device and would greatly appreciate some help...
While the screen is beautiful, what are all those dots on the screen when its off? Ive never seen this before lol (came from HTC one). Im assuming its the screen technology but any info on it?
Why the hell would LG ship out a phone with such beast specs but only have 4.2 android on it? Fail
I'm more of a pure stock android type of guy, as of now whats the best rom to use thats close to stock i.e cm etc?
I actually like the way it feels and the buttons dont bother me at all. Id say its an upgrade from the HTC one overall, only thing the one has over this is build quality. It just feels more premium.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what dots you are referring to, is it the digitizer pattern when you look at it on an angle, under direct sunlight?
Most people tend to stick with stock on this device, by the way! 4.4 is coming soon, we think.

Yeah i guess it is the digitizer pattern. Never been able to see them before on a device. That's interesting. I hope 4.4 is coming soon. Thanks dude!
Stock ROM on the G2 is awesome. I came from a DROID RAZR and the ROM on the G2 is so much better. I was flashing ROMs left and right on my RAZR trying to make it better, but the stock ROM on the G2 is so much more feature rich that I don't even care that I'm on 4.2 because I know CM 11 would make me lose a lot of the things that make this phone great. I'd suggest you go back to the stock ROM and give it a spin. It's not stock Android, but it's darn good.

Stock is nice. I love the Qremote. It also has a lot of bells and whistles from the S4. I think the best feature is KnockOn/Off. Now any android phone I pick up i try to tap the screen to get it to turn on LOL!. I'm using Mahdi 4.4.2 ROM and I love it for now. Im a crack flasher and I hat how much bloat is on stock and I love KK because I came from a Nexus 5.

I came from the HTC one running CM and omni ROM. Cm11 seems to be making good progress so far. I'm on the ATT G2 so my options look sort of limited at the moment lol.

My girlfriend LOVES it, but she's got the AT&T S4, which, quite frankly, has nothing but pretty standard and flat themes. This more 3D theme is awesome and I was wondering if there's anyone that wouldn't mind a quick port to the S4. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thank you!

The link you post says thanks to someone for letting them use their S4 theme. So it looks like the theme your linking is a port from an S4 theme to begin with : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372902
Because its for the 9505 (which is essentially the same as the 337, as in runs the same hardware. the 9500 is the eyxnos one) it should run just fine.
HOWEVER because there could be small differences in the apk's between the variants i recommend getting the 3mint build associated to the android version her rom has and using 3mint framework instead.
Check the link it has all the required files to get it up and running.

Hey Peeps! What up ? I Am going to PORT Touchwiz to Moto G, Well atleast i am going to try. I am going to start working as soon as Samsung starts rolling KitKat Update.Once it got booted i will create a thread in Android Development.
The reason for creating this post is to aware people about my work & Of course to grab some attention.
Why Touchwiz ?
Well, There are already some Manufacturers PORTs being Develop.So, I ended up this.
I might some help in Future ? With Tests,Logcats,Kernels,Boot,Etc......Are you up ?
Let's see how many people supports me..
Thank You!!
(Please don't hate me for Choosing Touchwiz,There's no other UI to Port
Just a quick design/typographic suggestion for you, friend: this post is not readable when someone is using the XDA Premium app with dark background settings. Your black font color does not contrast well with the app's background.
In order to reach a wider audience, you might want to remove the color-equals-black tags from your OP.
Good luck with your project...

Good luck. But I am not a fan of touchwiz.

Port galaxy s5 touchwiz, not the other ones
@J.K pls let us know about your past experience/work on porting
if you are new to this porting stuff. then all the best for your work
i would like to mention this you are over confident..
not going to be rude or anything but I just find touchwiz really ugly. it doesn't look nice
Agreed, good luck with your port but i'll never touch something with touchwiz.
Why would you pick the most ugliest version of Android to replace the beautiful vanilla version on the Moto G? Most Samsung owners who root their phones switch to AOSP based ROMs as soon as possible. And here you are trying to bring this monstrosity into your life? Why? Why? Why?
Just messing with you dude. All the best with the port.

From what ive read, they actually have a consistent look on s5 touchwiz and also more flat.

I dont see the problem with that launcher? Maybe its because i use Android L Wallpaper. Only thing i noticed is that that folder is ugly.
First of all, there is no reason for discouraging remarks to members who want to contribute to the community. If you don't like what they are doing, nobody is forcing you to flash it on your phone. Move along and get on with your day.
Secondly, we do not allow placeholder threads here. When the work is complete, feel free to post it. For this reason I'm closing this thread.
Thanks.
Hello All,
Samsung has started rolling out Lollipop on Galaxy S4. I would like to know if it is possible to port that ROM to Nexus 4?
Can someone point me to the guides to port Galaxy S4 ROM to Nexus 4?
Thank you!
Why would anyone want to do that?

I thought the same exact thing when I saw the title but it the spirit of xda, yes it could be ported but the s3 would probably be easier if there was one which there probably isn't.
All depends on how much effort you wanna put into it though
Fair play

Thanks a lot @sykopompos. I googled a lot but could not find any leads on to how to start on this. Do you have any links which could show me some light?
I just want to try that @copong. I've used kitkat touchwiz ROM on mako and it is good for a change

Google using xda at the end of your search string "how to port a rom xda" But be ready for a challenge, it's not so easy.

Truthfully all my porting skills are in my head and I never followed any links to do so.
The s4 has a 801 processor which would be a very good difference from what is in the n4 so matching up a touchwiz ROM init filed on kit Kat would be my starting place to see what the differences are from there.
Then from there it comes down to figuring out the differences in lib since most touchwiz changed are in the frameworks.
In the end, you would end up with more mako then s4 which is what you want

Thanks! I also compared S3, S4 and mako. And as you said S3 is much closer to mako. So I'll start searching while keeping S3 in mind :good:
I just sold my S5 as TW ram so damn horrible on LP, a phone of that spec ran slower than a Moto G, why would you want that crap anywhere near a nexus device?
