Stop thread for questions in this section "developpement" --> Go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=748
It's also for I9001, just add tag in your title ...

When you open your link je will find, I will be referring the Rom you're porting as "PORTED"
and your CM7/GB/Stock ROM as "BASE"
google on open system.img android and you will find http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541068
Google is your best friend
Hope it helps...

Moving thread to Android development.... basic knowledge...

Compress the boot.img and system.img of a stock ROM or CM9/AOSP ROM for your device and that is your base ROM.

[Solved] SDK issue

First, I wasn't quite sure where I should put this, so if theres a better forum for it, please move it.
I feel like a real idiot right now, but nonetheless I'm having issues getting Eclipse 3.5.2 and the Android SDK to work (on Mac OS X).
I got as far as installing the ADT plugin and then once I got to "showing" Eclipse where the Android SDK was located I failed miserably. Every time I navigate to the folder and hit open and then apply nothing happens, it just stays at the "default" no SDK(s) screen. Bit hard to explain, so I took a screenshot.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So if anyone knows how to get that to work, it would be really appreciated. Maybe I screwed up something really obvious, that would be just my luck.
Umm, have you downloaded all the developer tools in the SDK? Launch the android binary in the /tools/ folder and look for available packages and install them all, or the ones you'll be using at least.

Port rom is very difficult to do. It only for developer, not normal user like you and me.
It like make Operating system can run on many devices, exp: ios(on iphone) can run on Galaxy s3 :laugh::laugh:

Stock system ui

As the title say can anyone supply me with the stock system ui for the LG g3 vzw. I messed mines up and replace it with a modified system ui from the international LG g3. Can someone help me I don't want to 're flash to stock ??
Not exactly sure which apk you're looking for but my best guess is LGHome_Theme_Optimus.apk. I've dumped it out on my sftp server, sftp://crackrobba.no-ip.biz:2222, user "xda" pass "xdapassword". If don't already have an android sftp client, AndFTP is pretty good.

[Q] Basic(?) rom modding? Please do read...

Hello! I'd like to ask the community about something I've been interested doing as a project for a phone I plan on buying, I've looked around and I see lots of tutorials, but they don't quite meet the very specific criteria.
My problem is that I want to buy the "Umi C1" (click click for more info o: ) and the UI on the Stock ROM is awful.
I've looked around and there's apparently a way to modify ROMs using another phone's ROM files.
I was thinking of using the "HDC ONE M8's"(fake HTC one m8) ROM files and transferring them over to the C1's ROM file. (Both phones run the MTK6582 SOC, both have 1GB of RAM, Both have 16GB of storage, both run 1280x720P panels...)
Is this in anyway possible? Both roms are Odexed. (new to this, looked around on how to deodex roms and found a tutorial but I'm not sure how things will go first.)
From This:

Hello!
You can't move the whole content of a ROM made for a specific model, to another ROM made specific for a different model.
The reason for this is because the ROM also contains native libraries (drivers) that are specific to the hardware of the phone, and are not specific to the Android base code.
In other words, you would need to port the UI and framework only, not simply move all the files and even this is not very straightforward unfortunately. If you only want some minor (or major) changes of the home screen and application menu, then there are plenty of third party launchers on the market that should do the trick for you.
I hope this helped you.

Twrp's keyboard

Hey guys, after several research and various holes in the water I open this theard to ask if anyone knows a way to get the keyboard used in twrp recovery .. I know, there are keyboards like "hacker's keyboard" but the one used in twrp is simple and looks awsome.
Is there a way to transport it in apk or zip to flash?
Thanks

I'm in the same situation, I love it!
Hi,
This is probably what you're looking for: https://github.com/mgood7123/TWRP-Team-Win-Recovery-Project-Keyboard/releases. Seems to be in early development.

Is it trusted? I don't have knowledge about programming and can someone examine the source code for non-developers? @The_Walking_Playground

Hi,
The keyboard itself seems to work, and it doesnt request any permissions, so it should be safe to use. Its just currently incomplete. I typed this post with it.

I think developer didn't complete that app because it has some bugs. Let's wait stable version.
I love the twrp recovery keyboard. Very simple, bright white and dark layout, simply awesome. I have been searching it for long time. Please guys help us to get that keyboard.
