Step 1:Ubuntu guide
Now we need to decompress .dat to ext4 img
Open terminal and
Now enter this command
Code:
./sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img
By running this command u can see a system.img
Step 2 :decompress ext4 img to output folder
Now we will mount system.img
Enter this command
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img output/
Now go to output folder and now u can see all folder and apk like a KitKat rom
Now do the same with port rom
Step 3:Now we will port
Delete some folders from base
Code:
base/system/app
base/system/fonts
base/system/framework
base/system/media
base/system/priv-app
and paste from port
Code:
port/system/priv-app
port/system/app
port/system/fonts
port/system/framework
port/system/media
Now copy some important permissions and init.d files
Code:
port/system/etc/permissions
platform.xml
handheld_core_hardware.xml
handheld_hardware.xml
to base /base/system/etc/permissions
now go to port/system/etc/init.d
and copy
Code:
00banner
to base/system/etc/init.d
Now open the build.prop of both ROMS. Replace the values infront of following
lines in base from port
change frm port to base
Code:
ro.build.id=
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.version.release=
ro.product.model=
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
base/system/build.prop
port/system/build.prop
Edit meta inf
Now go to metainf/com/google/android
And open updater-script with notepad++
And u can add
Code:
ui_print (" ur text");
and save it
Now we need to again compress rom
Now enter this command
Code:
./make_ext4fs -T 0 -S file_contexts -l 1073741824 -a system system_new.img output/
Now u can see ur system_new.img
Step 4: now we need to compress it back to .dat
Now enter command
Code:
./rimg2sdat my_new_system.img
Now u can see system.new.dat
Now just zip the ROM and flash

Work in Progress, this not work for now
Hi guys,
So, for now i'm trying to build CM9 from source for xt910.
Before starting a Huge thanks to
STS-dev-team (droidhive.com) (droidth3ory / hashcode / dhacker29)
For their huge work to add spyder into cm9 & aokp.
Now the hard stuff
i won't make another tutorial on how sync cm9 repo etc... i lead you to this thread which worked well for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27722264
Follow everything and you will be able to build cm9.
What you need for spyder
so you need to download few folder from STS-dev-team github
https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team
Here's the list of what i dowloaded from 'em:
- https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_local_STS (which is the local_manifest you have to replace)
Code:
put into :
.repo/local_manifext.xml
- https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_spyder (file needed to build spyder)
Code:
put into :
devices/motorola/spyder
- https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_hardware_ti_omap4xxx (hardware file for OMAP4xxx)
Code:
put into :
hardware/OMAP4XXX (replace the existing one)
- https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_vendor_motorola_spyder (vendor file for spyder)
Code:
put into :
vendor/motorola/spyder
- https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_wpan (hardware file needed)
Code:
put into :
hardware/wpan
- https://github.com/Hashcode/android_hardware_ti_camera (hardware file needed)
Code:
put into :
hardware/camera
How to
Once you synced up cyanogen repo download and place all the file above.
then do:
Code:
curl -L -o .repo/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/STS-Dev-Team/android_local_STS/ics/local_manifest.xml
once finished you'll have to edit this file : device/motorola/spyder/extract-files.sh to make it work with xt910 (just replace it by the file attached
Ok, now you can start trying to build:
Code:
make clean && make clobber
lunch
(choose cm_spyder, 5 for me)
make bacon -j4
Now my error
my building stop with this error
Code:
make: *** No rules to build target « out/target/product/spyder/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libhostapdcli_intermediates/libhostapdcli.a », needed for « out/target/product/spyder/obj/EXECUTABLES/tiap_cu_intermediates/LINKED/tiap_cu ». Stop.
i tried to google it but nothing helped me.
So here we are, if someone have any ideas tips knowledge to share, you're welcome.
Nice! Keep your hard work! Congrats!
Into what path are you putting them into? I had problems compiling if the path contained any spaces or some other special characters.
Check the listing of the Makefile, it will execute some special commands and if those have spaces it will as well fail.
private files under the system/bin is much less, so the error is inevitable.
PS:My English is not very good

Reference cdma xt912 extract-files.sh file, executed once, and then to private files the gsm xt910 does not exist shielding to name the difference between rename the file.
Note, divided into two:
1, copy the file
2, spyder-vendor-blobs.mk file creation
Must make the appropriate match to modify.

Exactly, that's why i attached a new extract_files.sh, working for xt910, i only removed missing files, but we may need to add other files.
Yes, you need to add the missing files.
Hi guys, i'm actually builing for 20mn now without error, so i think it's on good way, but don't yeld victory too fast, i have to test the build after that.
Anyway i'll update OP to make it easier and with all the new file & script i added.(probably monday, little busy for weekend )
Stay tuned

i had to add somes files, but for now > bootloop. Try to figure it out
edit:: Ok problem with audio, it can found it because of lib.
I tried replace most part of the lib, it fix display issue but logcat is not wirking anymore :s
i think we have to rework a lot the work done by STS dev team before compile. monday i'll upload the build if someone want to try something with it.
Hi all!
I was bored to wait for ICS update. So, I decided to try compilinig CM7.2.
N.B: It's the first rom i compile from source! I'm doing it just for fun and learn how to compile a rom
What I've done:
-Compiled generic CM (with the instruction "lunch full-eng");
-Packed it with Supercharged Kernel;
Now i need some help to create the META-INF folder.
I noticed that with the compiled generic rom came also a folder called "utility" in which I found the update-binary.
P.s.: I hope also this thread will be helpfull for some other new devs
Please help him, I really like to see a cyano7 on U, please... Vai Vaste!!

Vaste, let me understand, you took zImage and system, you merged them in a zip and you flashed it??? Of course so it doesn't boot.
But have you got the META-INF folder or have you only got update binary??
If you havn't got META-INF you can download this.
Now we need a Dev or a Cook that take a look of system and zImage and let we now if they're OK; then he has to take updater script and with Notepad++ write the Updater script...
I don't think that it's so hard... Please.
I'm trying to make an Updater script but I never made one, so.....
And anyway I can't now if there is some thing wrong in the rom....

For What???
Vaste Alredy made the updater script so now the rom can be installed but it doesn't boot.
I think that the problem is in to system folder, I took a look to the rom and META-INF is OK, kernel's OK to I think (he took Xperia supercharged and with Championswinner kernel kitchen he made from elf a boot.img and then he renamed it to zImage), so the problem is in system folder...
Please, jitin02 take a look, I can give you the link of the zip if vaste is offline...
If you have zImage from supercharged kernel share it!

Yes, you are right, the problem is in "the system folder". He built the generic CM, not a configured for this phone. It never will boot so.

Q&A for [GUIDE] [PORT] [ROM] All About Mediatek ROM Porting
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

1- rmdisk (folder)
2- kernel (file)
3- kernel_header (file)
4- ram_disk (file)
5- ram_disk.gz
6- ram_header (file)
Where is the zimage? Where is boot.img-ramdisk folder? How i doing:
"* Now Go back to the Rom folder and Take the boot.img and decompile it with any bootimg-unpack tool!
* Now delete the zimage and rename boot.img-ramdisk to PORT-Ramdisk
* Now Do the Same for Stock boot.img and open the folder named PORT-ramdisk and copy all the fil PORT-
ramdisk to boot.img-ramdisk of your Stock boot.img

"* Now Go back to the Rom folder and Take the boot.img and decompile it with any bootimg-unpack tool!
* Now delete the zimage and rename boot.img-ramdisk to PORT-Ramdisk
* Now Do the Same for Stock boot.img and open the folder named PORT-ramdisk and copy all the fil PORT-ramdisk to boot.img-ramdisk of your Stock boot.img
* Now Go to boot.img-ramdisk and open init.rc" ?????????

The zImage is the kernel file. boot.img-ramdisk is the main folder containing the zImage(kernel) and ramdisk, just you need rename the decompiled port boot.img to PORT-ramdisk, and your stock boot.img not rename folder.
I just want to ask how to fix this problem , I ported MT6589 to my MT6577 device, Seems there's no problem in flashing ROM but when its time to boot, it just hangs on the boot logo, it's not even trying to load bootanimation but rather it only flashes a white screen then it reboot to my recovery. Seems like I do something wrong?
My device is mp a818g duo
Kernel:3.4.0
Chipset: MT6577
Hope I receive help

When you use android kitchen to decompile your boot.IMG then your kernel will named zimage, but when you use other unpack/repack tool for your boot.IMG, the equivalent of zimage in your decompiled boot.img is the files kernel and kernel header.

Extracting:
1. Download this package: https://tusfiles.net/oaiw9ze20tbl
2. Extract to a folder and chmod 777 -r /path/to/the/folder
3. cd (change directory) to that folder
4. Run prereq.sh
5. Place system.transfer.list and system.new.dat into the folder
6. Open extractor.sh using a text edit program
7. Find the line containing chown command, replace yash:yash with yourusername:yourusername
8. Run extractor.sh
9. Modify contents found in output folder
Rebuilding:
1. Do above first and then run compress.sh
2. Find the rebuilt system.new.dat and system.transfer.list in sdat folder
Making it into a ROM:
1. Do above first
2. Find a zip ROM for OnePlus 2 that contains system.transfer.list and system.new.dat
3. Replace it with your rebuilt ones from above mentioned steps
4. Voila! ROM ready!
NOTE:
The package contains OxygenOS SELinux file contexts in progs subfolder...
So, to modify CM ROMs you need to get file_contexts file from the zip of the ROM and replace the one found in progs subfolder

Please mention
Two questions; Is this a rom kitchen like tool for OxygenOS? Are there any libs or binaries or other dependencies?
I'm a bit busy, but I'll take it for a spin when I can.
Oh one last thing, is there a repo for this?

The dsixda kitchen had much more functions then this but you may cknsidet it as a temporary lollipop kitchen with not much extra functionality..
This was like a automation script for me and was a quick one so repo wasn't needed
I have used this script on Ubuntu 64bit and the only extra dependency apart from those included in package are installed by prereq.sh
Btw this is not just for oxygen os it can also be used for any cm or cm based rom here but.do read the note then

So does this allow you to make ROM's for the OP2 from ROM's based on other devices, or what? Sorry if I'm sort of a noob, I just don't understand what is being done.
Thanks!

You can make ROMs from prebuilt ROMs like OxygenOS or any other built ROM like Exodus, CM12, etc.
Basically modify ROMs without rebuilding from source (which takes a lot of time!)

Thank you. I really wanted to extract .dat file..

This is a great tool but I wanted to know how to edit the system folder in ubuntu. Like using chmod and chown to pre-root and uninstall some other apps. Can somebody please direct me in that direction.
I go test...
I found the csc files in Oreo is encrypted/encoded.
So I decompile the csc.apk and get a class to decode the encoded file.
Then I made a tool to decode/encode the csc file.
Download: can't post a link yet , just search OmcTextDecoder in github and get the download link
Usage:
deocode
Code:
java -jar omc-decoder.jar -i cscfeature.xml -o cscfeature_decoded.xml
or try to decode all .xml files under a directory
Code:
java -jar omc-decoder.jar -i omc -o omc_decoded
encode
Code:
java -jar omc-decoder.jar -e -i cscfeature_decoded.xml -o cscfeature.xml
or try to encode all .xml files under a directory
Code:
java -jar omc-decoder.jar -e -i omc_decoded -o omc_encoded

This is AMAZING! Thank you
How can I donate you a beer?
Awesome! I have not tried it yet but I have been waiting for someone to finally make a tool for this. Thanks!
it worked for me... i was able to decrypt the files.... unfortunately, i was unable to find a setting that allows me to change the voicemail number dialed when using my T-Mobile sim card.
You should talk to Lou, maybe you could help each other

yes indeed, I was not looking forward to having to do that manually again... only to find out that it was 99% the same as the S8+ 's version.
Very appreciated, but didn't root my phone since Samsung go lived in my country. Haha

To edit voicemail number, use bk package manager or titanium backup manager to disable VVM....the settings for VVM will disappear and the editable settings will be there,
Alternatively, in the cscfeature.xml you can remove the line that has config VVM....
<CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM>TRUE</CscFeature_Contact_EnableVVM>
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigVvm>TRUE</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigVvm>
One of these should do it
You could just edit to FALSE
Hi friend I managed to find and thanks to @ pendor24 for sharing it
