Upgrading Ported Custom ROM
Hello everyone here,
By following this thread so far, I've managed to port a custom ROM successfully for my device from existing Base ROM. Kudos to ArjunrambZ for this helpful thread for noobs like me. But both the ROMs are Android 4.1.1 . Now can anyone help me how to upgrade the version(Example: I want to upgrade to Android 4.4.4) of my Ported ROM? I googled a lot but I couldn't find anything useful/understandable for me. Thank you and thanks to KJ for pushing me in the right direction :cyclops:
ROM structure
Nice guide I haven't actually tried this yet but I have a few questions
As far as i knw porting means running a rom on a device for which it was not created
If this is the case why do we copy only specific folders (apps, fonts, media, framework) . from port rom to base rom? So there r still parts of original rom in new ported rom what is work of those parts? And what is work of parts we copied from port rom?
At 1st i thought the remain of base rom which we didn't replace is device specific i.e it contains drivers, etc am i correct?
Plus i have one more query what if i want to port a completely diff version port rom
For example i have a note 2 and i knw there won't be any lollipop release for it
So what if i want to port lollipop to my device since i have base rom as kitkat and port rom as lollipop, is it possible cross version porting?
Thanks

Here is systems extractor:

And compressing it back again is little bit tricky for noobs !(cause geeks are geeks always )

Can i port Omnirom 5.1.1 made for samsung galaxy s to samsung galaxy s duos
I tried your method and there were a few problems.
I took cosmic rom for galaxy s duos as the base rom.
I didnt see any set perm files in this base rom , so i could not copy.
Not many files were there in init.d of Omnirom 5.1.1 which i used as port rom as compared yo what you have shown in ur tutorial.
I still continued and zipped the rom and it was installed but ,NOW ITS STUCK ON BOOT!!!!!!
Its bricked , right ?
Where did i go wrong?

So i still beleive i can port it.

Porting rom for ideatab a1000

I am 14 using Lenovo Ideatab A1000 on Allegro rom. I want to port CM 10 or PA for my tablet. I want To know that what device's rom should I use as Port Rom and could I have any big issues while porting this?
Thanks

Hello everyone, I've been wanting to build the CM13.0 for my Lenovo K3 note, maybe even the CM12.1 too. But I have a specific doubt which I know I shouldn't have before I proceed any further into learning about ROM development, so I'm asking all of you, please do answer.
The Lenovo K3 Note source code is made public by Lenovo, say if I were to download that and if I use that kernel, will I be able to successfully compile CM13.0 and boot?
I think that will work with the CM12.1 version as the Stock ROM and 12.1 are both Lollipop versions. So my question basically is, will the Lollipop Kernel(provided by Lenovo) work with a Marshmallow ROM(if I am to build one)?
It would be great if you could please elaborate your answers as I'm looking to learn and not just get done with one thing and get caught with another. Thanks for taking time.
Cheers!
AICP ported rom : >> https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3S-0kdB3QdGaGc1Nlg2Vk1VMVk&usp=sharing
Verified "NOT WORKING"
Though any developer interested the link is provided download the rom modify it and do whatever you want
Well, aicp is based on cm. If u have ported this ROM, then in that case cm12.1 should also run on quattro
Unfortunately, we don't have a stable cm11 build too. So how's that possible?

Well I am a big fan of AICP and thats the only reason to port the rom and about cm11 almost all the stuff is working apart from some unfixed bugs ...... So as it is 4.4.4 kitkat I thought we could move a bit higher and port 5.1.1 lollipop rom . So just because of my curiosity and enthusiasm for AICP I ported it . Though I least expect it to work . And even after this if you are interested you can definitely head over and give it a try . :good:
How is possible bro this is high chip set phone rom??????
Are you sure this will work...!!!

Is anyone able to port flymeos to our g2m?
I dont have much knowledge about porting ROMs but maybe someone has a time and know how to do this.
There is a chance for success because we have good working cm12 (its a base of flymeos),
device which running flymeos have the same GPU, cpu (but difference resolution).
Here is the link:
http://www.droidfull.com/2015/07/1sflyme.html
with right libs even camera works well (i just tried apps).
It will really something cool cuz everyone likes MIUI and flymeos is very similar and this rom from link is a stable, bug free version.
MIUI works gerat on LG L90. It's base on CM 11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/miui-v6-lg-d405-t3248423
You can try to compile muiu via this source https://github.com/respkirya/patchrom_miui_w7 only replace file in boot_image_unpacked and stock rom from CM11 for g2m.
Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right subforum to submit this topic so sorry btw
Is it possible that somebody please build a CM for this device (VF-895N)?
My device runs 5.0.2 stock Lollipop, 5.0 screen, rooted, has TWRP recovery 3.0.0.0, SDK21, Linux Kernel 3.10, unlocked bootloader...
The sources of the device were already published by Alcatel and there are already two ROMs for it out there. One is MIUI 7.6(5.1.1 Lollipop) Beta (ported from Moto G 2015 I think) and a full stock ROM without Vodafone apps, rooted and with a few customizations...
Please somebody make CM for this device! I would really appreciate it even if it's an alpha version I don't care! Just do it plz
