IMPORTANT! I'm moving development to android-dev.us, if you want to know, read over there, HOWEVER, I will respond to anything posted over here
http://www.android-dev.us/showthrea...ion-CM7-SelfKang-Alphafied-Number-10-GB-2-3-7
Hey guys, I'm going to try to start to learn android rom development, and thought maybe porting a AOSP rom fromt the sensation would be a cool task to work with. Right now, I think the Sensation is the closest to our Amaze, but it's CM7 build is lacking. Either way, it will be a ton easier to port CM7 than CM9 for a complete noob, but that doesn't mean I don't need your help!
I like to keep an open mind and workflow on stuff (I collaborate musically like this) so anyone willing to help or learn something can hop right in and I would appreciate it!
Some links I'm using for learning / porting:
Code:
It took a while, but I finally tracked down a mirror for the latest and last build of CM7 for the sensation:

I'm going to be using this kitchen:

Found this guid for porting a rom. It's ment to be from CM7 to AOSP from the same phone, but it's worth a shot!

hmmmm..... does it work with your amaze, since it isn't in the supported list i was holding back on using it
I appreciate you trying... But what makes you think the Amaze and Sensation are similar? From what I've read, Devs say they are COMPLETELY different phones.
Just thought I'd give you a heads up.
Best of luck to you though... I hope you get it working!

They are very different.... thus it has been a pain in the ass to port roms to it, but since you dont have to mess with changing the screen/resolution to match it, it makes it a little easier
---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------
I also just noticed your porting android 2.3.7..........................good luck doing that man may god be with you lol
Ok, yea, the internals are different. So far as I can tell the sensation has an S2 snapdragon and the Amaze has an S3. I don't know if I can even get this thing to boot, but I think it will be a great learning experience nevertheless!

You mean the rom? As of now im just going to try to move some drivers, libs, and kernel around and see what happens.
I got CM9 booting by just editing the build.prop from the sensation ported a ROM think it was CM9 but touch screen and features didn't work.

Woah! That's quite an accomplishment! You mind helping me with this port then?
And by editing the build prop, did you just pretty much copy the hardward identifiers from a stock ROM from the Amaze?

Hmmmm, I'm wondering how bad this risk is? Like will editing the build prop, and keeping an existing kernel brick the phone? Because by my understanding I can ALWAYS boot into the bootloader, then recovery before it even touches the files that I'm injecting
Plus my phones S-ON, not that this means anything, because I have fastboot!
From what I've read, again, there have been 0 bricked s=on Amaze devices. There have been soft bricks, but ppl have always been able to fix in fastboot

I've got a virtual box with ubuntu on it right now, but its hard drive isn't expanding past 8GB like it should be, so I have to figure this out first...
Trying to copy a stock ruu rom for some porting! Just not enough space
Alright, so I used dsixda's kitchen to port over the libs and some files. I then made an attempt to get the update-script to install and it seems as if it went through. Now I'm stuck on the white htc screen. I'm uploading as we speak, if anyone can help I would be grateful!

There's the soft brick my friend. Try to boot into recovery and restore. If you can't get into recovery, you will have to re-install a recovery using fastboot or adb. You can find the instructions on X's site in Amaze>Development> and find a recovery... It will be labeled "hard way" but its not really hard at all. It's easier than soft bricking your phone

And this is One of the reason the Amaze lacks development... It's a lil more difficult to dev on... Combine that with s=on and a phone only marketed in North America and you get a ghost town forum

Thanks man! But not needed It's just installing to the system partition and one other, but both are active only after the bootloader, so I just hold down the "volume down" button while turning on, scroll to recovery and restore my backup. No trouble at all! In fact, since I'm basing this off the stock kernel, I don't think I need to install one until I can get it booting
Thanks for the help again dude, seriously, get that screen and help me with this

I know it's early and hard to get too much accomplished with the uniqueness of our device not to mention the s-on issue.
But I'm just curious if anyone has heard any rumor or knows anything about anyone working on a MIUI port.. I'm not expecting much yet as we don't even have any aosp goodness yet. But I thought I'd get the conversation started.

miui can be sense based (though until theres an official jellybean sense build, its tough to make your own patch rom)
i took a swing at getting miui launcher working on our stock build but kinda gave up when something that should have worked right...didnt
i may revisit it after christmas, idk
working on a sense base but theres alot of issues lol
also working on a asop base but i have talked to a few who claim the kernel will never let it boot so im still optimistic about it working but full functional no tell at this point

I tried to port it off of the cm10 base but I just got a error 7 in recovery before it would even begin to flash the Rom... Granted my porting was just copying most of the stuff off of a one xl and I just followed a basic tutorialon how to port so it really did not surprise me when it did not boot...

So, will our AOSP be based off the Nexus 4 conversion? Or will there actually be a AOSP ROM specifically to this device? I know patience is key, just didn't want to rely on a hack to get aosp. I bought a LGOG instead of a Nexus 4 for a reason. I tried the hack with no booting luck.
Will there be a NATIVE AOSP ROM? Or will it all be based off the nexus 4 conversion?
I really that having to do the conversion just for a aosp. I don't plan on finding a native aosp ROM tomorrow. But will it happen without the need to rely on a n4 conversion?
Thanks in advance. (;
From what I've read, it will happen without the need for a conversion.

I hope so. I really don't like relying on the conversion. Just not for me. Thank you for your information.
ASOP for the LGOG should be coming in the near future from what some of the devs have been hinting at. Like, the next couple of weeks near future. Also the ability to run N4 ROMs without converting. Good stuff is right around the corner.

I did the conversion within the first few days of having the device. It's been working wonderfully. As long as you're not a complete newbie to Android modding/hacking/what-ever-you-call-it, and have a reliable computer and electricity (so it doesn't disconnect/turn off while flashing) you should be fine. However, the long term effects of the conversion are not yet known, but I doubt they could be that bad (if they even exist at all). I'd go for it. :good:

Like I said, I'm pretty tempted especially now that they've gotten the 16GB working. Thing is, I'm still pretty new to this (even though I've probably flashed everything else in the development forum at this point) and I'm not in a place to afford a brand new phone off contract if something happens to go wrong and I end up bricking.
Especially if the ability to run N4 ROMs without converting is just around the corner, my gut instinct is telling me to just be patient...

When i tried it hung on the boot animation. I flashed twrp to maybe flash a ROM but it would always say ENTER PASSWORD upon entering recovery. EVERY TIME. I even flashed a different recovery and everything. I tried to fast boot -w but never wiped anything. And if I tried to factory data reset in recovery I couldn't because it would always say FAILED since I couldn't enter a weird password when I first booted into recovery. Any ideas?

For me, I didn't even bother with unlocking, etc, I just went directly from stock to the N4 conversion. It didn't boot at first but I got into fastboot from the bootloader and entered fastboot -w, rebooted, and it started up perfectly.It was really simple and painless, at least it was for me. :victory:

I followed the instructions to the T. After it got to the boot animation it hung for 30+ minutes. That's when i flashed recovery and tried to flash a ROM. Yet the recovery was asking for a weird password. Like my phone was encrypted or something.
So I just flashed back. Weird thing is. My stock at& boot loader menu is EXACTLY like the nexus 4. Says mako and everything. Just doesn't have the picture of the android guy laying down.

Eh, I'm gonna get some type of JB/KLP AOSP build once they release the kernel to run it.
Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.

Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.

I like jedi X rom...I got 3 days off my battery with just the right settings...my recommendation is to not mess with the per app dpi for the settings app because now I'm stuck without a settings app and about to switch roms...just about any rom will work as long as it's for your carrier... Best of luck!

DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Beans is the best! photosphere camera (page 1 of forum) works great with build 16! Check it out! Also, I agree about Jedi: definitely magic battery settings. Enjoy your new hobby! My wife is the same way.
Hello.
I know what you are thinking.
Oh no, not another n00b bootloader thread.
Sorry, but sadly it is.
I'm on stock JB 10D MetroPCS MS 769 10d.
I was reading through the Internet, but I'm hard of eyesight and the strain is really starting to stress me. I've never had a phone that seemed harder to unlock(the bootloader). I see many threads and it is really tempting to get a newer rom that will save my battery and all of my troubles.
The only problem is, each tutorial I come across has lead me in a million different directions. Some are dated back from June of this year. I would like an updated method, and of course being the newbie I am, I don't want to try an old method and turn this phone into a paperweight.
I have researched that the T-Mobile ROMs will work on this monstrosity. I know about 2nd init, clockwork mod, have unlocked the bootloader on a tablet. Have been following DROID since Froyo.
I need a sure fire way to do this. I'm sure some of the new guys around here would like a sure fire method.
Let me just brief.
I am familiar with Clockwork mod recovery.
I know basic Terminal Emulator commands.
I run Linux
I know given the right instructions how to Unbrick
My device is currently rooted using the Chinese method, was able to properly install SuperSU and get rid of the Chinese version.
I am aware that the process somehow involves firmware with an inverted screen.
There are so many guides and tools, I've used LG Support tool before, and my final question is...
How the heck do I unlock the bootloader on an MS769 Optimus LG with stock L9 10D firmware?
And yes I've tried the search feature and just got even more confused.

.lAfter doing some research, I've got everything done up to flashing the 20B firmware this is the point of no return for me. The only thing I haven't done is ADB, but that comes with software mode right before the flash. I'd like to go over this with somebody to see if I have everything set correctly.
Also I need a good copy of the 10D and the European 20B kHz.
... And I'd love to be able to get my paws on the Metro radio... Just in case... For jellybean of course.

I have the radio on my themed lgms769 thread. Visit XDA on a browser.

If you ask me, I don't think that method with the wonky touchscreen works anymore. I haven't seen any recent success stories.

Thanks for the replies guys. I need my phone right now because my Internet is off at the house, so I'll be sure to get back here and give it a go when I have WiFI back.

Unfortunately there is no simple way to unlock the bootloader, I also have the Metro PCS LGMS769 and managed to unlock the bootloader with a little trial and error and as of the time of this post im running PenberRom5.
Keep in mind that no matter how badly you might screw your phone up, as long as you have a pc and an internet connection you can always restore your phone back to factory settings using the LG Support Tool.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I had trouble with flashing kdz files so I had to go over the tutorials with a fine toothed comb, seems I did not have the small server in the right folder on the root of my C:/ drive. I got 10f flashed, that was my "safe" tester. As long as I can get into software update mode it should be no biggie.
Thanks to you guys as well. Couldn't have asked for better support than on XDA. When I am sure that my internet connection will be reliable, I'll go ahead and follow that guide.
Moving my apps to the SD Card would be really nice. This phone is not very well endowed as far as Internal Storage goes. lol
So yeah to repeat I got KDZ flash working, at least on the "municiple" laptop in the folks house lol. I know what I have to do.
First off, I'm dual booting this old piece of crap laptop I have, it barely runs Windows 7...but it works.
