Rom porting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a couple of maybe stupid question.
What do i need to port an ics rom to my phone from another phone?
we have a semi working cm9 rom (missing camera ans fm radio), and i'd like to use another ics rom, aokp or something like that.
All the driver files i need to have are on the kernel? or there are some files that need to be changed within the rom?
Can i install a rom from a similar hardware phone and just switch the kernel?
I've always been a final user of custom roms, but i really want to learn more about android development so i can contribute to the forum
So anyone wiling to give me a tutorial?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Looking for a rom "Stock+Clean+Deodexed+Rooted+Siyah" without much modifications
As the title says , I like the stock samsung experience without much editing.
I was looking for a Stock rom without bloatware + Deodexed + Latest Siyah kernel.
Just no more apps / editing.
I even tried Kitchen app to build my custom rom , but it seems to have problems with siyah kernel or ics. (don't know why )
So people , any one can till me what rom has the features I want ?
Thanks in advance.

Your question is perspective. And melts down to "whats the best x". Read the threads try them out and make your decision yourself.

Hi,
This rom looks a beast and has already been ported to the Xperia Play, Xperia Arc and the X8
Can anyone help or give guidance in getting this great rom ported to the Xperia S
My skills are very limited however with guidance I am willing to attempt it and give it a go but i need help and guidance from someone who knows a lot more about it than me
Is there anyone willing to help get this rom ported over to us on the Xperia S ?
Hi. For porting you need to select a device that is similar to the XS at least resolution wise. Your base rom would be latest CM9 or CM10. Delete the app and framework folder one by one and replace it with the folders from the PA rom. Similarly replace the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Change fields in the build.prop as they are going in the PA Rom'.
Make a zip and try flashing. If it works your luck is good but if it bootloops you need to make changes in the frameworkres.apk which requires decompiling it and stuff. I'm still learning how to do the framework part.

So the Rom from the nexus?

Would need to use latest cm9 as base as it is stable and has more working than cm10

got this guide going to try and port it this weekend
going to have to use cm9 version of paranoid android so camera works so thinking HD2 ?
If you want to do anything that's maintainable, build from source.
Building from source is a hell of a job and afaik this method will work for all the future updates and is tad easier than building from source
Tapatalked !!
I dont have the ability to build from source
Could look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27602914&postcount=24 I tried it with ICS, never booted.
I don't have any ability whatsoever, but I can be a tester (make sure kernel is easy to work with dual boot) and, if needed, I can give a little of my pc processing (not much).
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
How about a paranoid android bounty thread?
Pledge donations so some developer with skill might take it on?

[Q] New on S3.. what mod do you recommend me?

My idea is install a good mod and install tons of apps and games with no problems.. thanks in advance and please sory my english i'm argentinian.. .
Omega 100% stable and the developer indie doesn't stop. Always updated to the latest firmware. Also a lot of theme support on the thread. Check out motomoto theme its a beauty.

they're called ROMs, not mods, and asking for the best ROM is against the rules

Sure? Because I Think what android eclair,froyo,ics,ebean all of them are ROMS And things such cyanogen, criskelo ,darkys etc are MODS for the android ROMS!... and im NOT asking for the BEST "rom".. simply i am asking for suggestions .. i readed so much stu**d questions here and i think mine is not so bad... thanks for read anyway

eclair, froyo, ics, etc are versions.
cm, darky, criskelo, omega are all roms that are modded. mods on the other hand are specific changes that do not include the whole rom with it. it depends on having a rom as a base to install onto.
stuff like removing charging notifications or add camera functionality are mods. the ability to add any app to multi Window is a mod, but cm, darky, omega etc are ROMs. they're completely independant and does not require a flashing of another rom as a base.
and yes, you are asking for what the best rom is. the fact is, you'll have to just try different roms and see which one suites your need. check the all in one sticky thread for a link to another thread that categorizes roms based on what concept of android they're going for (stock, aosp, aokp, sense, etc etc).
all of these roms are very well documented and they explain what their rom was built for.

[Q] Thinking About Rom Development..

I don't know if i've posted this in the right section, but at times on and off i've thought about doing rom development. When I had a Nexus S 4G I made the attempt of being the first to compile ICS from source for that phone. This phone needs roms, I also can't afford to switch phones. I don't know alot about development, but where could I start so I can begin to learn how to build roms? How difficult would it be to get a rom compiled for this phone that'll boot, being that it has a locked bootloader? If someone can help me so I can at least try to do some type of development for this device. I have to flash some type of custom rom on this phone, lol.
imo the best is a port of cyanogenmod with sources of phones similar to optimus l9 and for sure versions like 4.1 ++
this version of android excisting in optimus l9 ics is working fine. it would be nice porting of newer versions.
Finally someone...first.

Glad and happy to see someone (first one) a developer is willing to work on Source Codes. May be for you only I did collected all the resources.
Source Codes here,
Unrooted Stock Roms here,
Flashing and Rooting here and
Rooted CWM Backups here.
See already collected so much of information so some developer will start working. Did this because the LG links were rapidly dying and still are.
I am not developer, but I will be happy to become a tester for you and would like to try to help you in any way you may want. Happy Developing, BIG THANKS and Best of luck.
I'll start after I get a new ethernet cable for my computer, Ubuntu doesn't work well with my wifi usb adapter. Works fine in Windows and was working ok in Linux Mint, abeit kinda slow. I may have to ask someone for help or for guidance, but i'll try to do something. Better than complaining about no roms but not doing anything to help bring one. I don't know how difficult it would be but I was thinking about building JB from source for this phone?

Those need TW framework which is found on sammy rom's only. So, not possible to have them in any other rom
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
+1 to leeo
1) wrong section (as already been mentioned)
2) most samsung apps are heavily dependant on the touchwiz framework. This is the reason you don't see any of these samsung apps in other custom roms like MIUI or any AOSP/AOKP rom.
If there are apps that are portable to other roms, then they have already been ported by other users, just google search and if you can't find the apps already ported to other roms, then you don't even need to bother trying as they are too much dependant on the samsung framework ^^
p.s. if its ported from tw to tw roms then it doesn't count as the framework the apps rely on is present in both
As per advice by all other member, it is not possible to implement Samsung app on an aosp or cm based rom like miui.
But you can still use the current support rom by miui team for note ii n7100 that based on sammy rom 4.1.2 like aminalmo miui port rom for at&t
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071480
it has most of sammy 4.1.2 feature and based on miui. It still unofficial for n7105 so there might be bugs.
just make sure you don't flash the n7100 and hope someone will port the latest n7100 miui official rom to n7105.
Thanks everyone for you your responses.
Even though MIUI don't have any official support or development on this device, since its not International version.
Cheers
