[??]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.

That's sound simply great! waiting for your news! have a good work!

Hi!
Did some1 already ported this rom for I9505??

AOSPA [Paranoid Android] [5.1]

PARANOID ANDROID FOR OUR BELOVED XPERIA SP
I am currently downloading the source code for the PA 5.1 And this is my first try ever in building a rom . it might take upto a week to set it up fully so please be patient because i have an epically slow internet connection.

Also i'm having issues with github in general . I have tried to learn its general working but i'm not sure . Any source or anyone intrested to teach me?
Also i'd like to thank @Furrydaus for his awsome guide for rom buildup. It was a great help. :good:

My github account just in case anyone is wondering

Take your time bro, eagerly waiting for it! And let me be your tester if you want any

Good luck and take your time

UPDATE​
My not so very fast bandwidth is giving me issues so it would take longer than expected. Probably will wait for new bandwidth on 1st .
Just so you know that i'm very serious about developing the rom and i have tons of free time at hand so ill be active too. :highfive:

Nice. Good to see more devs coming. Just pm me if you need any help.

UPDATE​
oh well... it seems someone screwed up , because that someone is using a 32 bit ubuntu 15.04
all things aside , i expect a PA rom to grace you people latest by monday.
keep the love flowing

You never get things properly done lol. Your repo sync is constantly getting broken and not downloading the correct repo's properly. Can you send me your pc configuration and internet speed and the manifest.xml in /.repo ?

So ummm... Is this cancelled?

Yeah I guess so

[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.

[Question] Is there Root for SM-G530P?

Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?

I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!

Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...

Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...

Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

Wow sounds like this is it! Can't wait to try it when I get back home. Thanks for the updates guys!
EDIT: It works great, thanks for looking out and thanks for the work put into this to bring us root to our devices.
Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.

Hey i have this to please message me the information i need a reliable root A.S.A.P

creating a custom rom

Is there any good tutorials for creating a custom rom. I'm starting to try to learn but am stuck at the moment. I am using the paid version of SuperR Kitchen. Ive had help getting all the necessary tools and and files needed, I've made it as far as deodexing, and removing Knox, I've added busy box (not sure if it was done correct). But kinda stuck with what to do next. Ive searched all over for a guide on what to do next but everything i come across is for unlocked bootloaders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm wanting to learn so that i can help contribute to the community here since it seems most of the AT&T devs either skipped the S7 or have moved onto a different device.

Well although i did not get any response from anyone, i have finally figured out how to create a custom rom thanks @stang5litre for all the help and advice you have me. And to @SuperR. for his work on the kitchen.

Yea stang has been helping me a lot. Pretty much step by step. If i have a question i go to him. Lol. And i have lots of questions. There's a lot more to it than i thought. All the tools you need and to have them set up correct and what not. If recommend getting SuperRs kitchen also. I use the donate version, it's only 10 bucks and he updates it very often. I say i built the rom but heck, stang set up the tools, and told me step by step on what to do, so basically i just pushed numbers. Lol.

Sorry I have no idea how to make a custom rom but, this is awesome! I really want an AT&T custom rom if you're working on that good luck man and if not still good luck! Have fun!! Cheers

I've created a rom in MM. It's plane jane. Basically just seeing what I can do. All I've added is 3 mint clock, 3 mini battery, and gradient status bar. But still a success to me just to get it to boot. Lol. I'm working on N but haven't been able to get it to boot yet. I keep getting errors once it starts the symlink process, and i don't understand symlink yet. But even when I do, it'll still be pretty plane just because I'm still learning. Lol. But if your looking for a rom to run right know, stang5litre has am awesome MM over in the Verizon forum. The only thing that i noticed that didn't work for us on AT&T was WiFi calling. He's also working on one for N.
