I have looked all over, and googled how to do this without any luck. Maybe I wasnt using good search terms, or just am not sure what I am looking for exactly. My hope is to port CM9 to the HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G. Any help is much appreciated.
I think you can start off, by setting up your system to meet the following requirements like in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552090
The Codename for the Desire HD is "stallion" so you have to change the branch to stallion (if possible).
If you like to make a port yourself you should read the CyanogenMod Wiki first. There should be further information about the process of building a port. If you can find a device with similar hardware it could be possible to just build the port (at this point i'm very unsure myself), or else you have to modify the property files etc.
I think that's a lot lot of work to do.
My expreriences so far were from building a CM7 Port, modifying a kernel to work with Multipath TCP and patching the kernel for the Nexus S . But i haven't tried building a CM9 port so far.
I hope i could help you a bit.
Hey john,
i just wanted to know if you made any progress on the topic.
hey johwayne007,
Did you figure out the process for porting CM to new devices?
Hey everyone,
So I'm running Android 5.0.2 on my GT-I9300 and I'm really anxious to get my WiFi dongle working. The reason behind it is that Reaver & similar tools don't work with the device's native WiFi.. adapter? Chip? That.
So I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G dongle that does what I need it to do, but my device doesn't acknowledge the dongle once connected via USB OTG cable. I understand I'm supposed to provide Android with a driver, but I'm unsure how would I go on about doing that. The best I got from around XDA was 'compile a driver to a module and load it into the kernel' but I haven't the slightest idea how to do something like this. Any newbie-friendly guide would be highly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of any monitor-mode WiFi dongles naively compatible with Android 5, please let me know.

Thank you!

Have you tried flashing a custom kernel ?

Hey Joseph,
I haven't, but I'm not sure how would that specific ROM work with other kernels. Also, I imagine it's better to know how to add driver to kernel so I can do it on pretty much any device running anything? But sure, if you have an idea which kernel to try, I'll go for it =)
Thanks!

You can for example try Boeffla Kernel CM12 NG.
To look for compatible kernels, you can:
• Search for a kernel index like this one
• Make a search for the word kernel in your ROM discussion and Q&A threads and see what kernels people are using.
• Look for kernel threads in the Development and Original Development threads
Hope it helps you in your search.

Thank you, I tried Boeffla Kernel and it didn't recognize the device still, but I'm searching for a kernel with the driver necessary. Still would be nice to know how to do it by myself, but I'm on it ^^
Hey i noticed your post is old but did you find a way to do that any supporting roms or solution i'm having the same problem

I have cm 14.1 running but i don't mind flashing another rom or kernel
Not possible to run a wifi dongle in android.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Hey! I'd love to know more about kernels, but I can't find that info.
What are the differences between Android versions in Kernels? How hard would it be to port Android on some device that already has a linux kernel? (Maybe something simmilar to what this guy did, just with more info on the process) What about a device that already has an Android kernel, just for other android version?
Would it be possible to port an older android version to Nexus 5x? (I.E. Lollipop, maybe even KitKat)
EDIT:
Okay, so I know that I would have to port kernel modules from devices with same chipsets, but I don't really get it.
Hello!
I have a couple phones that I am trying to port AOSP android to, the build has gone well but I am getting errors in the kernel after flashing which prevents boot.
Are there any specific patches that I need and if so where can I find them. I realize this might be a broad question but if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
Hello everybody. I love this community and I have been lurking for a long time.
I have noticed on a foreign language forum that some people were offering a custom rom for my android 9 TV box.
The chinese box is based on a s905x3 CPU and has a mediatek wifi chip for which it is hard (if not impossible to find the wifi drivers).
The site claims that the image was made by modifying the stock rom that came with the box. Is this possible or do all custom roms need to be build from the source?
The custom rom I want to make is going to replace the launcher with kodi.
I am prepared to build the whole rom from source but I do have a couple of questions.
Since the mediatek wifi drivers cannot be found how would I go about including the binary for the wifi?
I have noticed that the box that I have uses a .ko (kernel object) module to drive the wifi chip.
Can I include these kernel objects in build? It is a shame that the kernel is built as a 32bit system. Would that mean that I can only compile a 32bit kernel if I were to reuse those kernel modules and binaries?
Another idea is to perhaps use the kernel from coreelec in my build since it seems to include a lot of drivers.
Is it possible to use a kernel from something like coreelec but use the source from AOSP for the rest of my build?
Is there anything else that I should be aware of?
Thank you all!!!!
Can anyone give me any hints to any of the questions?
Essentially I want to swap out the stock launcher for Kodi. What is the easiest way to do so?
