[Help] Port Sense ROM to non-Sense device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
Well first i'm gonna talk a bit about myself.
I have Huawei Ascend G300, and before that i had Huawei Ideos X3 (my first android). I've been playing with ROM's flashing since almost the beginning but now i'm trying to learn a bit more. What i'm trying to do is to port a Sense ROM to my G300. From HTC One V to be exact (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943412). I don't have any kind of experience in developing, this is my first try, but i guess i would learn more porting Sense than any other normal port as it is much deeper than others. Don't give me answers like "you can't do it based on your experience" or "if you want Sense buy HTC". This is Chef Central so i'm expecting tips from experienced Dev's. And this little project is just to learn more about how android works. Finally, i would get a decent HTC if i had money for it.
So, the guid i'm following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707177
If you have more detailed guides please send them to me.
What i've done so far. In CM9 (base) i've edited init.rc copying from Sense ROM and compiled the boot.img back. I've tacken the keys from CM9 to Sense ROM. Copied the files that the guide told me to. After this i recompiled the Sense ROM. Tried to flash and got problems with updater script. So i took the updater script and binary from CM9 to Sense ROM and tried again. It flashed this time but doesnt get past Splash Screen.
I've not made changes in framework.res and build.prop yet (it's my next task).
So how am i going? Am i on a good path?
Thanks!

I'm also working on a sense port. And your doing well so far, however, I would recommend editing the updater - script to match your mount points from stock script instead of copying the stock script over. There are some important processes that run that are sense specific. I've only made it to boot animation so far.

Have you already started porting? If so how far have you gotten? We haven't made it to the lock screen yet.

[Q] Porting Sense (just to boot)

I'm trying to port HTC ROM to my LG, but any try result on non-booting ROM. I used dsixda kitchen just to extract both ROMs in separate folders, but when I replace some files ex. under /system/lib or /etc it does not boot when flashing with clockwork zip. I removed unnecessary apps just to fit system to my phone.
Which files do I need to take from custom ROM for my LG to make HTC ROM working/booting. I took /hw /modules /egl under /lib some files /etc and keychars according to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815265
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
Also I took boot.img from my GT540 and modified build.prop. I can't find a reason why it doesn't work, sadly logcat doesn't work too.
There are many ports but all sense to sense device. Any tips what to do? Just at least to boot it up, later is the time to make everything else, now its important.
I booted Eclair Sense ROM in past but nothing was really working good, just 3d, bt and gps but I see its possible according to 2.2 Sense ROM port made by cile for gt540.
I used HTC Pico RUU CHS latest leak 1.20 as ROM I wanted to port and I used libs from pcfighter .32 kernel one time and same result as with .29 libs from DevSwift's OXYGEN and miroslav_mm SDSL so I think its nothing wrong with my libs, just Im making mistake somewhere.

Its because (you have found this on a search) Sense is built deeply into the framework and drivers. It will only work on HTC devices. Same goes for Samsungs touchwiz and Motos Motoblur.
Anyway older sense worked, atleast it was booting and wasn't that far from working. In ciles port there were just some 3d problems, but I've found a solution for it, wifi(as usual), microphone(so calls, but gsm module was working), some other bugs like tethering, but look, it was developed recently even for other working roms, usb storage, but I think it was possible to be fixed with some kernel changes if devs made it in .32 and .35 kernels by yourself.

Well if you can get it working then great you will be able to do something that many of the great developers here have been trying to do but have all failed.
I'm porting sense to sense so I understand some of what you are trying to do, a major problem for me was update script just so it can flash and you have to replace all hardware libs from target device but I don't know anything about framework and stuff like that. Hope this helps a little

It works on galaxy s and nexus s. First order of business is to add bootclasspath from sense in init.rc which is part of intramfs which is part of the kernel to your init.rc.

Porting or compiling MIUI for unsupported device?

I haven't been able to find a good answer on miui.us nor have I gotten a reply from any of the devs who have successfully ported to an unsupported device. I have searched for answers as much as possible, and I haven't been able to find out where miui devs get started. Are they compiling from source(I haven't found any source)? I plan on asking the same question there, but I have always gotten the best answers from the XDA community..
I'm waiting for my amaze 4g to come in the mail, the device doesn't have many devs, and while the main dev is working on ICS I figured I'd try to get into development(that is why I finally bought a new device) to see if I can offer the community something while we wait for ICS to get done/stable. If anyone can point me in the direction of where these devs go to get started, I would greatly appreciate it!

They steal the code from CM source. Then they wrap it up in a closed source OS. So you won't find any source for it.

I figured it might be something like that, would explain why I haven't found anything really helpful.. but then the question becomes how do people port it to other devices? I'm personally a fan of the functionality it has over CM, and it would give the users of my device something to play with(and me something to learn/experiment with) while we wait for ICS to get built. Hell, if I can find some good resources, maybe I could contribute to the ICS build before it is done..
But while the resources I've been finding here are good, I learn best by tinkering, just figuring things out, so the resources between what is offered here and the finished product would do me the most good.

So what we (miui porters) do is take the kernel from cm7 and some lib files from cm7 and add to an existing miui rom until it boots. It helps if you use a similar device as the base (I use the nexus s 4g as a base for my epic 4g ports b/c epic is pretty much a keyboarded version of the nexus s 4g).

Where do you guys get the weekly build of miui from, I know it is updated every friday, but I haven't seen where they are getting it from..
The phone I want to develop for is the Amaze 4g, the Sensation is pretty much the same with just a underclocked cpu. The amaze is new enough that everything I've found says they are working on a cm9 build and skipping cm7 all together, so the best I can think of is grabbing some files from the sensation cm7(like you do the nexus) and stock files from the official gingerbread releases for the amaze.
The question is what files can I use from the sensation, will the files from stock ginger work, and which files need to be ported at all. The best I've found is this http://www.madteam.co/forum/support-65/how-to-port-miui/ which I've read the feedback on, and results seem to vary quite a bit.

Since your devices are so close, try just copying system/lib/egl and system/lib/hw from stock to Sensation MIUI and also IDK if Amaze and Sensation kernels are compatible, but I'll assume not because that could lead to a brick. So copy boot.img from stock to MIUI. Then Logcat and see what the errors are and replace whatever files error (If it says libcamera failed, replace it with one from stock). It may never boot from a stockbased kernel, it does on some devices and not on others. You may also be able to unpack the boot.img from stock and Sensation MIUI and copy the Sensations intramfs/ramdisk from Sensations folder to Amaze's. Then repack the Amaze folder, which has the Sensation's intramfs in it and then try.

Awesome, a place to start. My buy for the Amaze got screwed up, so I'm going to likely get one from tmobile.. but I've already put together a rom to spec that you have described, and I have a few kernels to try too. I hope that checking the logcat and making some tweaks based on the output I get a working rom, the next questions would be what a script looks like(on a pc or mac) I could just apply to pull the files from the different sources to apply to weekly released-- I am pretty sure that is what successful ports do.. and what I could do to be more of a developer rather than just porting or kang'ing. I just figured this would be a good way to get some working experience in the meantime.. but I am guessing that once a good build of an OS is out there, people aren't compiling from source. Seems like many are just learning aspects of the OS and tweaking stock roms with things they have found..
Thanks again for the advice, as soon as I have the phone to test it with, I am gonna give this a try

Actually, one more suggestion on the kernel. Using dsixdas kitchen, extract the boot.Img from amaze stock and sensation miui and go to boot.img-ramdisk folder and go to init.RC on both devices using notepad++ and find the line that says bootclasspath and copy it from miui to amaze stock. Then recompile using dsixdas kitchen and then test

In need of help creating ROM

My head is bleeding inside from all the reading and searching. I still consider myself a green when it comes to the makeup of android. I am a 40+ windows hacker who is not afraid to take a stab at anything. But I really need a few pointers here.
I am a stock ROM bare bone junkie. I like them clean with just a touch of modding for flare. And Electron, BigFau, and Flapjaxxx has already conquered the UCLF6 ROM. High Five for you 3. :highfive: Since nobody is thinking outside of ATT, I wanted to get a zipaligned, deodexed Rogers UXLF4 version going. It seems to have less bloat to start, has less restrictions (ex: hotspot activated even when using on ATT), and has features such as being able to select Network Mode (Ex: GSM only, HSPA only, GSM/HSPA, or LTE/GSM/HSPA) which the ATT ROM does not. What I have to start is a combine tar file. It includes amss.bin, boot.img, cache.img.ext4, mdm.bin, recovery.img, and system.img.ext4.
I finally ended up creating a version with Dsixda kitchen. Haven't installed it yet, but I am about to. Is the Dsixda a good way to start for a newb like me? Or should I be looking at xUltimate instead?
2 things right off the top that has me betwiddled is how to add the radio to the ROM with Dsixda. Seems everyone else has the AMSS and MDM in a tmp folder and these lines in the updater-script:
package_extract_dir("tmp", "/tmp");
run_program("/sbin/dd", "if=/tmp/mdm.bin", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");
run_program("/sbin/dd", "if=/tmp/amss.bin", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13");
Is it as simple as that? Now take it easy guys on the answer.......
And the other is everyone's updater-script is similiar to each other, but way different than the one created with dsixda. Almost from the same template. So I know these weren't created completely from scratch. Almost leads me to believe that everyone is using different software/kitchen.
So how bout a firm but gentle kick in the right direction?
Nobody has anything to say??
You would be better off posting in the dev's section.

I wish you good luck sir!!!.....g
P.s......I'll test for you if you need them.....g
True
I was thinking the same thing, maybe ask a dev. I am sure that some might be more than willing to help/share their knowledge ?
Some list an IRC so you can chat. Its a little easier to troubleshoot code in a chat sesh rather than passing PM's back and forth.
It would'nt have to be a note dev.
curious did anythign come of this... i am interested in a rogers ics based rom myself
Did you receive any help yet ? I'm not a devloper, but I will try and help you.

No sir, or should I say BigSir, I received no help yet. First post pretty much says it all. Every ROM I checked out on here has the same updater script. I used Dsixda kitchen and mine was not the same. Plus after reading almost every page in the kitchen thread I saw no way to add the modem. Was going to hack away at it this weekend again. Would really like to get this stock ROM going for everyone and to give something back to XDA. I just need some pointers.

Start off with xUltimate. I have used it in the past and it's pretty decent for a beginner or novice. Whatever. Lol. Honestly if you just need the updater-script,you could use the updater-script from another rom. Just make the appropriate changes.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I will give xUltimate a try. Just seemed all ROMs had almost the same updater script and were much bigger than the 1 had created. I wouldn't know what to use from another updater script. I am totally a newb here.
Will xUltimate create a CWM install file? Doesn't that just deodex an installed odex ROM?

[?] ParanoidAndroid port, possible?

Disclaimer: I'm not an android dev but am interested in learning, really my only knowledge of dev'ing is the three hours or so I've spent so far failing at a port this morning. Don't be a douche, I just admitted my ignorance here.

It's been ported to the Atrix4G so I figured why not try dx2, and I'm using the A4G ROM in porting. I've been following the instructions here and keep getting hung up on rebuilding the modified framework-res.apk with apktool. The error I'm getting is in the attachments.
My process up to this point is:
- decompile framework-res.apk from PA and our CM9 rom.
- combine framework-res/res/values/ and framework-res/res/xml/ from CM9 to PA folder
- this is where rebuilding the apk fails...
Does anyone know anything about porting that can help? I feel like a lack of knowledge is my problem here.
I have nothing to contribute to this other than a simple good luck. It would be cool to have another option for this phone.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Looks pretty straight forward if you are following the instructions here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27602914&postcount=24
Just be real careful with the merge and edits.
Just as a test, does your build work if you do not modify the original framework-res.apk from PA?
Yeah that's the guide I was using but kept getting hung up on rebuilding the modified framework-res.apk. Haven't tried without making any framework-res changes, I figured that was crucial.

i'd try using the original framework first and then trying to flash it to the dx2 like that. If anything you'd have to update the updater-script and build.prop first before it worked, but it'd be worth a try at least. I haven't messed with the dx2 too much for a while now, but I know for porting ROMs to the samsung fascinate I have to do a bunch of edits & then I have to get data to properly work right (which I'm not sure how to do). So I'd keep trying and keep trying because that'd honestly bring another ROM to the dx2.
I may try and port a rom to the dx2 in the near future, but idk yet.
EDIT: if you need a tester also hit me up on here [pm] or twitter [@ztotherad], my dx2 doesnt have data atm, but i can turn it back on if i need that
also, i may try paranoidandroid port with you, if thats cool

thoughts on porting Cyanogen to Desire 610. input desired.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read the most important compatibility aspects for porting from one device to another are processor compatibility and screen resolution. The specs for the HTC One Mini are almost perfect. Exact same processor and the screen resolution is almost identitical. There's an officially supported cyanogen release for that device. It would seem to me we could compile that build, using JMZs custom kernel were all using for the 610, and pull the drivers from our device, and that might be enough to do it.
I'm assuming that would basically be the case for any ruu or Rom. Alternately we may just be able to pull the drivers from a 6!0 and JMZs kernel and compile a stock android that way.
I'm a Linux guy but this is my first foray into hacking android so any opinions/advice/criticism would be welcome.
I would've posted this in the developers thread but I don't have a high enough post count.
I'm reading everything I can find regarding porting different roms to new devices so any links you guys can point me to, I would appreciate.
I'm in school for CS and am very interested in porting new roms for the 610. HTC is emailing me the source today.
Lets quit messing around and start using this underrated device to its fullest potential!!

I have been working on porting cm11 and I think Its almost ready to boot but as for getting all the hardware working it may take a while. The desire816 seems to share some of the same hardware so I've started with its cm11 device specific code. I've built cm for my Asus tf101, tf300t and ainol novo fire but this is my first attempt at porting to a new device without someone else's base to work with so we'll see how I go. Best of luck to you and maybe we can share ideas as we move forward.

If you're already working on a port, perhaps we can work together? I've never ported code or a ROM to Android but I'm a linux guy and I've got some programming under my belt. I have quite a bit of experience building kernels for linux machines, namely debian.
If there's any way I can help you, I'd love to learn some stuff from you as well, let me know. If you need someone to test it out and do some bug hunting let me know through PM on here or by email at [email protected]

Yes I am still working on but have other priorities at the moment. It is currently geting stuck at the boot animation and I havn't had time to investigate why. Hopefully I,ll get it sorted over the christmas break.

Oh nice great to know you're still working on it and it took me a while to change boot animation on the desire 610 but got it working also it's not located in system/media folder I found the boot animation and stuff located in customization/recourses folder got my bootanimation zip sent it there and changed the name too att_bootup.zip since I got a AT&T version and it started working. Although you probably know that already. And thanks for replying and good luck!
Are you still work on desire 610?my device was desire 610t. I want to port the cm11 for my phone. but isn't bringup!

I don't know what you are trying to say? I am attempting to to create device specific files to be able to compile cm11 for international desire 610 from scratch. When I get it working I will put them on github and you could then download them and merge them with synced cm11 sources yourself.

A cm11 port sounds great but I have a question about the boot animation on the att version. I have replaced the att_bootup.zip file repeatedly and it does not seem to stick because it gets overwritten by the stock one repeatedly. I have made sure the boot animation is the correct size and even went so far as to edit the stock att_bootup.zip. My phone is unlocked, rooted, and has busybox. The animation seems to be overwritten when the phone is restarted.
Any ideas on what I am missing?
Thank you.

You will also need an insecure kernel. The stock kernel has write protection on the /system partition so any changes made disapear after reboot. You can either try the JMZ-kernel which has write protection removed or If you want to keep stock kernel you can make your changes while in TWRP, just use ADVANCED, FILE MANAGER to copy files to /system or make your changes via ADB while booted into TWRP(twrp boot.img doesn't have write protection on /system). You might have to fix permisions on your files to but TWRP also has a SHELL or FIX PERMITIONS options you can do that with.

Most likely you are missing jmz kernel. I had that missing and everytime I restarted nothing sticked so flash that and you should be good. You'll find the download on this forum. Let me know if you don't find it.

Thank you both. I was indeed missing the jmz kernel. I downloaded and flashed it. It changed the att boot animation to the stock text android but now replacing the att_bootup.zip does nothing. Putting a bootanimation.zip into data/local or system/media does nothing. I can not even locate the android boot animation to edit it. I have posted this issue in the jmz kernel thread.
Any thoughts?
THIS HAS BEEN FIXED. Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the jmz kernel. The file permissions were set wrong and not 644.
The boot file is /system/resource/customize caves m under the name (carrier)_bootup.zip

whats the status of this port? I just purchased this device naively from bestbuy to use as a platform which requires an AT&T LTE radio without checking CM11 availability... My bad... I'll port it... What needs to be done? Mucho Experience hacking HTC Device, Android, and Linux Kernel...
lets do this...
Progress
hey guys I was just wondering how far along the port was , I am also a programmer but I have zero experience in android development so I am eager to test it out though.
Any news about port??
Why don't you guys just compile one.
As you have said the One mini have the almost same specs (same cpu i presume)
Just take the device repo from Cm github and find some local_manifests in their xda forum and compile it
Use the custom kernel you got there too
Should work if the cpu variant is the same
I'm from HD2 forum compiling Android L for it. Booted
Can't wait

Sounds simple enough the way you said also sounds like you have experience doing the compilation maybe you could assist here and we do the testing. To be honest i been trying the virtualbox and ubuntu to start doing that stuff on my own but its just not working out

Sorry bro, can't help with that, but the concept is there now, no need for port
tip, use vmware
But, if One mini 2 is the same thing, just flash it on top
Rename the hw files ex. hwcomposer.msm8960.so to hwcomposer.your devices hw name.so
