[Q] How do you port from the Eris - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need to know how to port roms from the Eris as I've tried before and they didn't boot
I'm able to port from the heroc, but the same method won't work with the Eris.
I want to know as I'm going to try to create an aroma Rom that will work on the hero, heroc and Eris.
Any help is appreciated

I have a port from eris that boots. But It is not done by me. I've tried to make one now and it does not boot. I'm using dsixda kitchen...

I've tried using dsixda's kitchen for an Eris port, doesn't work but it does for heroc ports.
Is there something I still need to change?

I don't have any idea. I have no problems in packing the rom. The kernel is good, but it is not booting. If you want I can upload my eris port that boots maybe you can find what's wrong with yours..

try replacing liblog.so in your port with one from your ics rom that works. that will hopefully get logcat running so we can see whats wrong from there.
if replacing liblog.so alone doesnt work, lemme know and ill look into it further

[KITCHEN] Basic ROM Kitchen for aspiring Nexus One cooks [PC/MAC]

Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. Recently, I purchased a Nexus One, and so I was able to port this kitchen so that it can now successfully create a rooted Nexus One custom ROM.
The kitchen works for the Nexus One but is still found at the HTC Hero Android Development subforum, so I'll probably get someone to move it to a common forum eventually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Enjoy!
WOW, thanks, cant wait to try
can we use this forn N1???

No problem, I'm trying to get Wi-fi tethering working as well, as the Nexus One requires some additional steps to get it to work. I asked in the Wireless Tether thread.. maybe someone knows?
I'm going to check this out, may be just what I needed
Wow thanks a lot, very kind of you to do this! Setting up now
Ok, I have now updated the kitchen to version 0.20, so that Nexus One owners can now cook in the Wireless Tether. As you might know already, for the Nexus One the wireless tethering app requires a kernel modification (which is kind of complicated for the Average Joe), so the kitchen does all that for you automatically. I just used the modified kernel that is provided in the Wireless Tether project page.
ROM ROM ROM ya boot..
Works really well, although it might be better (under OSX) to make the disk bigger than 500mb.
I found the simplest way to use the soylatte java was to extract it, put it on my Kitchen disk and then simply modify the menu by adding
Code:
PATH=/Volumes/Kitchen/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin/:$PATH
at the top. Saves screwing up any other java dev work going on
Tested it with a Nexus One Cyanogen rom, works nicely for stripping out stuff I don't want and adding what I do.
Good Job. Thanks!

worked nicely for me too. set up a virtual machine on my macbook and loaded latest ubuntu plus jdk. ...changed splash ...stripped an apk ...added in motoapps for exchange calendar ...added a wifi tether direct instead of tool ...dropped in a few extra media sound files. the output zip flashed no problem and all tweaks (through very-very minor) working.
it would be appreciated if any more resource links exist other than those already in first post of thread. i'd like to learn more
yeah,this thing works(on mac).
but i wish we have a tutorial to cook a rom,(kernel).

There are about four tutorials linked on the first post of that thread, if that's what you mean.
a menu to edit build.prop will be great.

Tweak stuff, if it breaks tweak it back and reflash
That's how I find out what works and what doesn't... trial and error.

I don't think the Nexus One has the storage capacity to flash a Desire ROM - has been mentioned in this forum in some threads. You have to take stuff out to save space.
Menu for build.prop? I'm as much of a noob as you.

Rom porting

Is there a tutorial, or any sort of info on how to port a rom over to the eris? I have a rom that I would like to port but no one else seems that interested. I have searched using google but found nothing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This is not usually a difficult task. Which rom are you trying to port and from what device?
actually i am trying to port over an app from the droid x but I would love to do the whole rom, I have the system dump so I have all the files. Just no idea where to even start to make them work with the eris. I tried adb pushing all of the framework files (except the ones that would overwrite the eris framework files) to system/framework and then install a couple apps but it didn't work. So please help if you can. I don't mind doing the work to make it work, just don't know how or where to start.

this is a link to the area that might help, i've messed around with a kitchen and it takes a little getting used to. Hope this helps.

[Q] [HELP] How to create update-script?

Hope I've posted in the correct section
Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,
redbullcat
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

[Q] What's best way to deodex a Rom

I've tried deodexing using dsixda kitchen but I get errors and it never finishes. Not sure if I should convert udpater script to update script first or what! I only want a couple of files deodexed. Can someone please give me a quick and dirty little guide. I have smali/baksmali tools already or do I use something else? I've searched the forums but a lot of confusing methods is all I'm finding. Please point me in the right direction..thanks guys!

Are you using the stock Sprint ROM? I did and had no issues using dsixda kitchen.
What files is it having issues with?

No, not Stock Rom. It is having problems with framework files. It was 3 files, I'll have to fire up the Linux Box and try again to tell you what files exactly. I have not updated kitchen since I got the 3D, perhaps that's where I should start?

How to deodex ICS 4.0.3?

I'm trying to deodex the latest MIUI v4 (ICS) so I can try to port it to my Rezound, but I can't even deodex the ROM, even through the latest kitchen. Any ideas?

you can use autodeo tool to do the majority of the odexes but you may need to manually baksmali things like Bluetooth and NetworkLocation as they have more bootclasspath dependencies.
Look for a thread entitled "how to manually deodex odex back" should help you no end. If you cant follow that you are in trouble lol.

What do you mean you can't deodex - what is the specific problem?
well with respect and regardless of the version of baksmali and smali used the kitchen in its present form will not deodex an ICS ROM for me either. So I take a different approach to achieving it.
I don't care if someone doesn't use the kitchen, I am retired and ICS doesn't work (ie. Class errors in smali/baksmali) half the time for me either... but, again, vague statements like "doesn't work" or "can't deodex" doesn't help a designer diagnose the problem.

I'll take a look at the deodexing parts of the kitchens scripts and see if I can deduce anything.
