[Q] Need help to port a Gingerbread (2.3.3) ROM to HD2

Hi. I am keen to learn how to port a Gingerbread ROM which I like to HD2 and would appreciate if someone could advice or recommend me the place to start. The closest I found was in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898215 but someone mentioned that it is already outdated as the advice would only work with older android version.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

I am not sure if this is call making an android Rom ... what I want to know is if I see a good gingerbread rom from the HTC desire for example, how can I "cook" it for hd2?

Yeah I think u mean making,cooking a rom for HD2,not flashing it to HD2 ,right?
I think u need to put alot of time to make a good stable rom.that's y I prefer to download one and just flash it and see how it runs

Yes. I am not referring to flashing it but cooking it for hd2. I have already tried a couple of the custom Gingerbread Rom for hd2 but am not entirely satisfied so I decide to cook one for myself based on the other HTC handsets.

Aha I see,I'm using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 RAM_V5 and so far it's great.
ppl also recommend this:
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2 v2.6.2 [2.3.3][A2SD][tytung r7]
but if u wanna make ur own rom ,if I'm not wrong u can find a Chief program easy to cook a rom for ur desires ,but I'm not 100 percent sure it's an entire rom or just the interface ,I never tried that, have a look at that.

Been using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 rom on my device this rom updates very quickly

is these rom good for me?

I'm not trying to be rude, but, besides you, who knows what is best for you?
You've provided a link to a specific ROM, so I am assuming you are interested in this particular ROM. I would read over the developers post and see what features are contained in the ROM and decide if your stock ROM is better suited for you or not. If you have questions about that ROM, you could post them in the same thread you linked. If you are asking if that ROM is stable, then you should probably post that question in that thread instead of this one.
Hope this helps and, again, not trying to be rude, just wanting to understand your question.

I tried this ROM and I thought is was great. If you want to stay very close to stock but retain root it is a great way to go. You can edit the boot.prop file to disable the cell stand by and save battery and I was able to flash an OC kernel. This is the best way to get stock 3.2 because if you use the ACER update you will loose root. I ended up choosing Taboonay 2.1 over this ROM because vache has an online kitchen that allows you to choose which Acer stock apps you want to install and skip the ones you don't. Also, the stock apps get installed on the data partition, so they can be unistalled and don't take up room in the ROM. You can't go wrong with either ROM though, they are both awesome.
Hope this helps.

thenk you both the question was if these is correct rom for me because if i'm downloading from the post of the stock's there's many rom's there so i understand that here it doesn't matter

No prob. Best of luck. I do not have my A500 yet but I have a Viewsonic Gtab. Like with my Gtab, I am looking forward to trying out the custom ROMs for the A500. If you invest in a good backup strategy, trying out a new ROM isn't an earth shattering experience.

Glad I could help. Which ROM did you end up flashing?

[Q] Best rom for HTC Magic?

Hello everybody and excuse me for starting a new thread. I would like to know wich is the best custom rom for HTC Magic, a friend of mine gave me his phone to flash a custom rom, he has no idea of flashing roms and he is amazed by my custom roms on Galaxy S. As long as i know the phone is rooted( i verified with Titanium Backup)
and i will follow the steps for flashing something on this device. All i want to know is what should i install for him? I just want something stable. Thank you!

Honestly if you want something stable and good on battery life, stay stock and just theme the stock rom. . . it's less hassle, don't have to worry about flashing radios, spl's, or worrying about a bug .ect .
I've used CM6, and ezGingerbread. . . unfortunately none of these froyo rom's worked for me after the 1st boot so i went back to stock and themed mines .

I've been pretty happy with the DreamTeam Froyo ROM. It's been very stable and in my experience the phone is a bit snappier as compared to the stock (T-Mobile) ROM.

Ion Rom for Magic is perfect. It's the most close to a stock rom, but with better energy behavior.
I've just pull my Magic out of the cupboard to use it during "dangerous" activities (trekking, etc), and I'll give him Ion again.

The most stable rom I've ever used is Froyobylaszlo. I just ext 4 and nothing else and it runs fine.

sionce i had this phone i never wanted to use the stock 1.5,, it's so annoying and very stupid and not supported by most of my apps "skype,viber,nimbuzz,whatsapp..etc" and so i changed to CM6 and it was so stable running it for daily use for about a year!! it's soo stable and powersaving is much pretty oookaay
now i'm using GingerYoshi it is reeeaally awesome and makes everything fast and easy and more stable than CM6 in games but it reboots immedietly if RAM went full it does not manage it well u'll need to use a task manager and close apps frequently..
short words,, i was really happy with my CM6 froyo but now i'm happier with GingerYoshi.. GY here i guess it's sticky up there in development

If you want something stable, you'd probably not feel like trying those mimicking the custom ROM on Galaxy S.
The stablest ROM I tried ever, with New Radio on my 32A device, is FroyoDragon0.7 with custom Froyo themes.
All the APKs you need can be found in the Android Market (Enabler).
It is really worthy of a try.

Totally agree with above post, froyodragon 0.7 is by far the best rom i've come across for this phone, second to that would be bananabread 3.1...very fast roms. no prob;lems so far, currently using froyodragon.

[Q] Help with ROM

As you guys may know, I recently downloaded the latest matriz mod by mathkid...do you think I need a ROM installed to use at its full potential? If so, which ROM should I install and do I have to re-install the kernel?

1. U don't have to flash another ROM if you are on stock ROM or another AOSP ROM
2. Feel free to flash any ROM u want all AOSP based Ron's should work with this kernel.
3. If u flash another ROM u have to flash the kernel again because the stock kernel of the ROM will be flashed as well.
BTW. Post this kind of questions into the Q&A forum for the N4.

So I'm on Stock ROM right now. I don't need to redo the installation process and just flash it at will? Didn't know you can flash multiple roms too...
what roms do you guys recommend with the most with matr1x kernel?

matrix is not a rom, it is a kernel. all roms include kernels, or your phone would never work. all you do is flash matrix over what you have now, and itll replace your current kernel with matrix. that is all, do not over think it, do not make it more complicated then it actually is. and no, no one can tell you what rom to run, it is only your personal choice and no one elses. there are roms in the development section, read their threads, then you decide.

I know matrix is a kernel, I'm saying which one would be the most appropriate to go with it. One more question: Whenever there's an android update and I have flashed a Rom and Kernel, do I have to redo the flashing process again? ex. Android 4.4.4

- Asking for the "best" rom is prohibited on XDA, because no one can answer that question
- Regarding rooting before flashing a custom ROM, it is not mandatory. Some custom is pre-rooted already. Or you can root later.
- If you want to root using CF-Auto-Root, I will show you steps, it's very simple and easy, but it will trip the Knox. If you don't want the Knox to be tripped, search for Towelroot instead.
- As for extending battery life, you can try Lean Kernel (I have not tried it).

SORRY I wasn't aware about it and also SORRY for not reading the about RULES :angel:

I have already rooted my NOTE 3 buy using 'Odin' uhm do you think I did the right decision for that?

Question again do I FLASH Kernel after I FLASH the custom ROM?

Typically the answer is yes, but I'm not too sure. Please follow the instruction for a specific kernel/rom.

Lean kernel is here.
It's almost "impossible" to recommend a ROM. Everyone's needs/wishes are different. The best - and only sensible, to be honest - advice I or anyone else can give you is to read read and read again all youcan about a ROM, flash it, see if you like it, and repeat as necessary.

The dl links don't show for me from my work pc, but if you're in Europe and you have the 9500 version, I'm 99% sure it's 3.11-hlte-Eur or something similar.
Some custom ROMs may come budled with Lean kernel - not sure, I don't use it any more.
I know you're not asking for advice, but I mean well - as you say, you're new to flashing/ROMs etc. If I were you, I'd get to know whichever ROM you decide on first and its capabilities, especially root. Tweaking kernels would be the last thing I'd want to deal with. Trust me, you'll have more than enough tweaking to keep you happy for days irregardless of what ROM you use
