First, i want to thank cyanogenmod people for their awesome works, then dsixda for his/her Android kitchen, then XDA people who inspired me to learn about cooking ROM, you guys are awesome
Well, as the title says, i want to port CM6 Hero ROM into Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, i'm using libs from some ROM that are meant for my X8, also using ramdisk that already built in X8's Custom ROM.
Here i attach the adb logcat message when my phone boot, from what i see, there is no problem regarding the booting process of the phone in the log, but hey, i'm newbie, maybe you guys know what is the problem.
Please help me, i want to learn more about Android, well my first attempt is to port this ROM
Thanks before, Regards
aldee_s
Progress = I managed to boot the phone, i found that framework is the problem, some pre-installed application doesnt work, like terminal emulator, then the android keyboard.
How do i disable physical keyboard options in setting?

I am new android & X10 user and i have some questions.
Why everybody wants sony ericsson to release 2.2 and 2.3 versions of android?
I mean, why not everybody just install the new android version?there are so many threads explaining how.
is this, because there is not timescape and mediascape application on android and there are bugs in x10?
personally i dont update cause i dont like android's default theme and sometime there will be multi-touch update.
it's because it's more involved than just installing a new android upgrade.
modules need to be written to match the kernel to the hardware, software testing needs to be done, etc.
if it were as simple as just installing android 2.3 on any device, then yeah, we'd have no problems. however, it's a lot easier to wait for the manufacturer to slip out a test release/beta, then the devs start from there. basically, let SE do the hard work and the devs here will improve what SE comes up with into what we (users) want.
Hi there!
I was wondeing how to create my custom ROM using xRecovery for Xperia?
One thing I don't know how to do is to delete my google account so others have to use their own.
I could'n find any tuto arround.
Any sugestion?
Thx
You could start with modifying existing ROMs. For example:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons.
services.jar
Much, much more.
After that, you can try making a Nexus One or Nexus S kernel from the AOSP, and if you succeed, try looking up some tutorials.
Please note that for building the AOSP source, you need a 64-bit Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) or Mac. Building on Windows is currently not supported. If you don't have a 64-bit machine, you can still build Eclair ROMs, Froyo and above is 64-bit only.
As for a custom rom, even the experienced devs have only just cracked it, sort of. You can however use the Kitchen to modify and theme an S.E rom with Zdzihu's xRecovery which is what I and others are currently doing.
Hello all,
So I remember not too long ago a lot of people were asking for touchwiz 4.
Now it's out and I haven't really seen any steps in porting it to other devices (like ours).
BUT, some people over at the Galaxy S I9000 already ported it to their devices.
So, since we can also run android 2.3.4 now, I was wondering if there was a porter around here interested in porting this.
Here's a Link To the original post at the Galaxy S forum.
I don't have much experience porting other apps (unless I can get the whole source I.E. All the Java files and XML files in original format), otherwise I would have tried it.

I think Gaby02 try port this.
Hello
I did not try this one yet, but maybe it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
I linked to that post in the OP.
Already tried and didn't work :/
Dympy.
Whoops, sorry did not saw that
Try running it through Chainfire? Or am I talking **** now?
Well graphics aren't the problem.
First of all, it just won't install (Maybe because I'm on Froyo (The manifest file requires a minimum SDK version of 8, so if I'm right Froyo is capable of using it)).
If that problem can be overcome, I think the rest of the porting Would be quite easy.
Dympy.
Try pushing it to /system/app and reboot? Maybe it works then?
the current port of Touchwiz 4 on froyo is for arm v7 devices only....... so i suggest wait till marcellusbe port's cm7 and releases gingerbread AOSP.... cause then only the pngs will have to be converted... i guess......
Installed on cm7 but when I select tw it just gives a black screen with the notification bar :/
Touchwiz 4 is for ARMv7 so for the moment I think it's impossible to use it :S
i have tried all on froyo and on cm7 but no one would start i cant install it and only blackscreen
Probably, this would take an another marcellusbe to port the lib files
Greetings, as devs seem do abandon this community quite quickly (and yes, I undersnad why), I'd like to ask, how could one compile his own rom. Ow more precisely, what changes are needed after compiling a clean CM for i.e. HTC Hero or ZTE Blade to make it work on Mini Pro?
Thanks in advance for your answers
Take a rom say AOSP, put compatible drivers and some further tweaks, edit framework, delete/put apps in system/app and make compatible hw_config.sh n build.pro do some more deleting/addind and u'll get a custom rom!
EDIT: THIS THREAD WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO GET FULL CDMA SUPPORT ON ANOTHER MIUI ROM.

First: ROM is in Alpha Development stage, you shouldn't install right now unless you would like to help me
Second: At any point in time, I or anyone on XDA may not be help accountable if you skrew something up and turn your phone in to a paperweight that looks like a gaming device. I will laugh at you if you do not follow directions and this happens to you!
Hey guys, first ROM I've ever build/ported and hopefully at some point this is a success!
So far I've finished my first attempt at porting all the folders and libs I've needed to, along with adding some permissions and adding some lines too the updater-script. I have basically no programming experience. So anyone who wants to Help, please do!
Reason for porting this ROM: I love MIUI and there is currently no version working well for the r800x (CDMA). It is ported from the MIUI Xperia Arc ROM, and based on cm9 fxp 125.
So far:
What works: Boot animation.
What doesn't: Everything else!
So, after this problem is solved, hopefully there wont be many other issues. here it is. Please feel free to Unarchive and help me out!
