I asked this over in Android General and I was pointed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
Could anyone confirm if this would allow porting of a ROM like HTC Sense to the Xperia?
I posted this here as I reckon that if it is indeed possible, it could be of some use to the dev community in here. If not, mods can delete this
Our phone only has 480mb internal storage.
HTC Sense is well over 1gb just for the ROM.
Sent from R800x
that's wron
a normal sense 4.0a rom needs 420mb system partition
our is only 300mb.
so we need to decrease the zip (remove apps) and move some apps to /data in zip.
then symlink /data
and then we can go porting it
I would use a Sense 4 rom , I'm going to mess around later lol.

Remember, you can only use a ROM for a device on the same Arm as Xperia Play.
I'm gonna have a look at messing around with the HTC One S firmware
ok, i will make a thread for a sense 4 port
i am working on it too

This is what exploring outside of he Xperia Play thread gets you
Sorting out permissions on the HTC One S Cyanogenmod ROM. Hopefully, with some luck, I should be good to go by the end of the night
Crossing my fingers I dont get some kind of catastrophic brick haha
Moment of truth guys
I'll report back if anything works....I hope *gulp*
Stuck at kernel :S
I'll keep trying though
can you upload your current version?
then i can take a look

I know what the error is. I need to jump into Linux to unpack the kernel and edit the init.rc file (Only possible on Linux).
Going to flash back to MIUI temporarily to move the files onto my SD card to shift them onto Linux. Going to do that a bit later on as Im going to be a bit busy. If I get anything working I'll PM you and Dropbox the ROM for you to try If all comes back working, I'll release it to the general users
This will hopefully be my first ROM development
Tried again and can't get past the kernel screen.
Back to the drawing board. Gonna try a Samsung CM7 build now
Having no luck with this. Any devs with more knowledge than me feel free to take over

Same thing happens with the arc rom I'm trying to port. Did you edit the boot class path?
Sent from my Xperia Play using Tapatalk 2
miui arc rom should boot when you edit all the audio libs (in /lib/hw the first 4 files and in /lib all files with libaudio...)
don't need to edit the rest to get it booting

First:Credits to Juwe11
Check out this RAM Optimising Script.
I flashed this script and now my phone is a lot smoother.All the little things such as opening/closing keyboard,scrolling and switching between open apps is faster.Tested with Xgin 5.3
To use this script
1.You will need to have cwm recovery-available with minicm and xgin with dual recovery mode(afaik)
2.Download Juwe_RAM_Script-CWM.zip from last post of this page.
3.Flash in cwm recovery
Post your experience in this thread
Devs if you and everyone experiences better results,you should include this in roms
Could u create with xrecovery too? For kuyo rom
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
after i flash at cwm,how can i know does it works ?
anyway to check ?
i've tested it..nothing change...i dont see any difference..tried in xgin5.3
Sorry but i don't know how.
If devs find these useful,they might include this in their roms.
If you went to link the you can try the second method mentioned there.
Unpack Juwe_RAM_Script.zip ,copy the file into /system/etc/init.d/ using rootexplorer or like and restart. That should do it.
Just tested and can't see any changes really and quadrant score didn't change it just went from 1063 to 1065 :/

Look to /system/etc/init.d/ if there is file named S97ramscript
I think that there is wrong mountpoint in updater-script (X8 has different mountpoints)
Strange,it definitely helped me.
Keep an eye out ,try apps which used to lag before.

Right I manually installed it. Not really convinced it does a lot. Quadrant score went from 1065 to 1079. Not really a big enough difference to confirm that it works but it doesn't slow it down so you might as well flash :L

Yea I agree with that. Start up is much smoother than before.
I read somewhere that more memory is bad on an Android system. I mean they wrote that if you have low memory free, then the android cached what you will need = faster system. Am I right or wrong?

Hi
I was wondering if theres a way to switch between cyangen and a stock rom, i want to try out cyangen but it doesnt seem to have enough of the features i regularly use but at the same time i would like to use it for roms only so i can use my ps3 controller with it.
- Going to another ROM from CM7?
You can go back and forth freely between CM7 and other ROMs via ROM Manager or ClockworkMod recovery as the file systems are the same and nandroid backup/restore works to go between ROMs.
That's what it says in the first post of cyanogenmod rom

I know you can do a nandroid backup but i was thinking more along the lines of running it off the sd card or somehow partitioning the system partition so you have 2 of them there. If i did the nandroid way, i would have to keep a large portion reserved for the backup and i would have to do it every time i wanted to play a game which would ruin the life of the flash memory and it would be a pain generally. I saw on All About Android there was an app called boot manager but i dont know if that will work on the SGS II

There is some experimentation with that at the moment, apparently it kinda works, i know there is a thread about it.
Search for boot manager sgs2 or sgs2 dual boot and it should be there.

thanks found it instantly with that info, Looks like nobody properly tried to get it working and its a paid app so i dont really wanna buy it and find out it doesnt work... Although i guess everyone is in the same boat... I'll see what people do.
did anyone figure out the 2.89. Super user issue ? besides flashing the zip is there a way to have it in the rom and still maintain root?
i noticed if i push the 3.2 su binary to the phone while its on then give it 06755 permissions it will show thats its working and allow the Superuser to be granted?
has anyone tried to fix this yet??
i been working on it for hours and still no luck..
also i cant get any keyboard to install with a rom is that on my end?

I had more trouble getting it to boot than anything... But the Su 3.1.3 and binaries is what I used... Now trying to get it deodexed so I can get a few things added in and get a Rom posted... Over the last couple days, I've gained some mad respect for the 3d devs around here... The last Rom I built was a froyo hybrid sense 2/ sense 3 rom for the glacier, and it was nowhere near this frustrating... Even when trying to create it from ota like this one...

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want suggestions on what to add? Are stuck on how to add a particular feature to your ROM? One thing you could try is compiling AOSP and using that as the base for your ROM a great guide on doing that can be found here and here (Official Google guide to building AOSP). I'll be happy to help you out best I can so let me know if you still have questions.

Glad you were able to fix that, my main suggestion would be to modify only one part of your ROM at time (Just like a science experiment) that way you know that if it doesn't work it's very likely because of the modification you just made. Also logcat will be a big help to help you figure out where things are causing problems and what things are causing problems.

Also make sure in your ROM's updater-script the system apps you have added are given the proper file permissions.
