I've been trying to port a ROM from the Nexus S to my Motorola Photon and I keep getting either error 7 in CWM or bootloops in recovery before actually loading boot animation. I'm pretty new to porting and Android in general. I understand every ROM/phone is different when porting ROMs so there is no set guide of exactly what files to move, but is there any generic list of what to try to work from to atleast get it bootable? Both ROMS are ICS based, using CM9 as a base and tried many combinations of moving files into the base but they all seem to result in bootloops or CWM errors.. I can't seem to find a list to work off of to some degree or a way to figure out whats wrong and why I'm hitting bootloops. There must be a way to diagnose this and I just haven't found it yet? ANY insight or advice is appreciated, usually a quick learner but I'm just at a wall here and not sure where to turn. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Figured out the status 7 in CWM was caused by my updater scipt, so it flashes now but still gets stuck in bootloops at bootanimation and I cant find a way to logcat it.
Here is a step by step procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713

I have got everything to make the kitchen work and infact it is working just fine. I can browse through options but the thing is there is no instruction whatsoever to port a rom from one device to another so if someone could start me off, that'll be greatly appreciated. Since both Desire HD and Galaxy s Plus run have armv7 structure, would a port like this be successful?
Any kind of tip is appreciated..
Thanks a lot in advance !

You won't find a true guide to porting as each porting venture requires different things needed. The porting option is #19 in the advanced section. Just follow the directions on the screen and you'll get a very basic port of the ROM. You will also need to transfer files and drivers from your device into the new ported ROM to get things working and also edit the build.prop lines. I can't give you instructions on what to do because each device and each port is different. Plus I don't own either of those devices.

Given our devs who have ports other versions of Sense over to the Rezound haven't gotten Sense 5 working fully yet, I don't think anyone is going to be able to show you how.
Check the Dev section, talk to those guys, see what's happened so far and see what pointers they can give you.
Thats going to be hard to do since porting an ion kernel for a non-ion device has been hard on the devs. I dont know how SebastianFM ported the kernel for the sensation but that must have took a hell of a lot of work. He did stuff from scratch. I think they would have to put me in a crazy home after that.

Hi Guys,
After my little stay on XDA and trying messing with many devices of android and bricking few lead to me know about android development.
Anyways, So my point is I am trying to port this MIUI KiKat ROM (MIUI V5 for Elephone P9) which is exactly identical to my device except the NFC and the the CPU frequency thing ( which I don't think matters that much while porting) and my device is XOLO 8x-1000 HIVE
So what I learnt is that devices should have-
Same SoC's, Same display size, Same architecture, Same processors. My device and ELephone has everything same even the internal storage and the RAM i.e. 2GB and mount points are also identical but without NFC so can't call it a clone exactly.
I tried many MIUI guides followed this one so far THE BEST - MIUI PORTING FOR DUMMIES all in vain :/ after flashing my recover.log is totally fine.! After rebooting I see my spalsh screen after that my phone gets stuck at a unresponsive black screen not even showing the boot animation. Funny this is that phone is actually detected by adb and on connecting with PC the storage are also shown but it gives error that please insert storage. I attached the pic at the end of the post so you can have a look at it also when I logcat an endless chain of God knows what continues I can't even get it to read . Can anyone help me porting this MIUI to my device! I really want to want to port MIUI any MediaTek expert in the XDA house willing to help me
Please don't ignore this thread as no solution is yet available. IDK how this guy ported MIUI to his device with same specs as mine. I even contacted him and he said he just follow that guide I linked above ultimate guide of MIUI porting. Anyone please help me as I can see that devices related to mine are actually running MIUI but I can't sadly :'(
Any help would be greatly appreciaited. Any MTK dev around please help Even yuweng sir didn't had much idea what to do.!
