Porting CM7 to an unsupported device... Any chances? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
So, if there's no way to give ICS to GSmart G1317D, I found this tutorial about porting roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625862
My question is, if I followed this tutorial using original ROM as source of those files and CM7 (for Galaxy Mini) as a destinate ROM, is there any chance to work? Nothing more has been done with it, only what's written in this tutorial (excluding boot.img replacing).

Will Android Rom kitchen work for X8

I havent found Xperia X8 in the support list for Android rom kitchen. But there are lot of custom rom coming for X8. Are all these rom made without using Rom kitchen? I like to learn the procedure to cook roms, but If this rom kitchen doesent support X8 I can avoid reading and understanding the procedure for using the same software.
Have anyone tried to build cutom rom using Android Rom Kitchen? If so please tell me can I start with android rom kitchen for cooking roms for X8?
The best way is to try it and see
OK..I hope my phone will not be a paper weight after this.....
In case something bad happens will I be able to restore mt backup using Xrecovery or SEUS?? If I can do that I am ready to do it...What you guys think???
yes it can be used for modding X8 roms (but not for build rom),i ever use it with the latest dsixda kitchen rom. but still having problem with app2sd, when we try to mod a custom rom that have native app2sd installed, the kitchen rewrite it to move data2sd automaticaly(if we don't have higher class of sdcard it will be a big problem).
*if you wanna use xrecovery to reflash, yes it can as long as the installation completen the device could boot on the logo
*last chance if stuck use SEUS
ps: im a X8 user
sorry for my "E"
regards,
cruizz
Thank you cruizz.....
In that case I am ready..... Going to Start with some hard reading of the available guides.....

[ROM][MINIPRO]MIUI on Stock(gingerbread) as Base

hello developers..have anyone been working on porting miui on our mini pros based upon stock gingerbread...
if non of us are working on it,,,i'd like to start porting it but being noob on creating roms i'd love your help to tutorials and resources..
i'd do testing if anyone is working on it.
Another useless thread... This isn't QnA, you aren't offering anything development-wise, and you can't see that there has been a port of the rom from ICS sources...
Sent from my ST17i using XDA

tool for porting MIUI. All you need, that CyanogenMod ics rom for you device. Read topic on the link.

[Q] Hi i have CWM installed what should i do now?

Hey, i've flashed cwm on my tablet recently but i dont know what to do now. I have the android 2.3 installed and i want to install ICS, my device is not/was not supported by the recovery, can i install any ICS on the forum? Do i need a specific one? Should i make my own port?
Also, i was able to root the device (the gingerbreak reboot) and i have access to / and was able to install CWM but most apps say i dont have root, is there anything i can do?
First rule is u never ever, ever install anything not for your device. Doing so, probably a hardbrick is waiting along the corner.
So, even if i install CWM i wont be able to install any ROM? Cant i just pick a ROM for other device and port it?
yes u can port a rom from another device if the the original device got almost identical hardware to yours. but that is not an easy job.
or u could build rom from source if u capable of, more chance of fixing bugs than ported rom. cm source is freely available on github, cm9 to be precise if you're looking into getting ics rom. cm7 (gb) would be easier because u already got stock gingerbread rom.

[HELP][Willing to Donate!] Deodexing a stock ROM [SOLVED]

Greetings,
I was trying to create custom roms for the Galaxy Y pro (B5510) but I am having problems deodexing the latest stock ROM lately. I tried all tools which deodexes a ROM but I have no luck with any of them, as if there is something wrong during the actual deodexing process.
As you can see, there is no working custom ROM for the Galaxy Y pro lately. If someone can make things work (just let it deodex the stock ROM) then I might as well donate for your efforts

Never mind,
Already figured it out, the easiest way to deodex the rom was using Virtuous Ten Studio... The Auto Deodex feature worked for the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM by setting the API Level to 10. Just a reference for those who will encounter similar problems. I tried other tools but it returns an error when deodex is initiated. I guess I have to donate to myslef then
