HTC JETSTREAM (Tablet)
To any one who knows or have ported roms. I have a HTC Jetstream and is running honeycomb but feel it has the potential to run jellybean ,kit Kat, or lollipop. I have seen a Rom that was ported to the htc glacier from a HTC one. Is it possible to do it with a HTC one Rom to a HTC jetstream? I know it's from a phone to a tablet but still. Is it possible?
I have a Tecno Phantom A+ that's literally the same thing with the Micromax A116 Canvas HD. Do I still need to port the roms?

Hello guys,
First off, I have a rooted Panasonic P81 with a MTK-6592 Chip-set maybe, and its rooted(obviously),
So Can someone tell me how do i port a Rom for my device, like i want miui v6 for my Panasonic P81(which is not available currently). And the base rom which you are telling should be of cyanogenmod, but cyanogen is not available for my device! So what base rom should i take? thanks! and should the port be of the same type as the base? i mean like i have a base of cyanogen (just an example) and i have a port of miui then what should i do?
Help would be highly appreciated,
Thanks a ton!

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

Hi Sudeep Duhoon,
does the af.zip fix work also on MT6589 phone with standard Jellybean 4.2.1?
I'm not an expert so I need some more information.
I have done the root of my 4.2.1 smartphone and I have installed a root explorer app.
I did not install a custom recovery. I'm using the standard one but the camera autofocus dosen't work.
My question is: is it sufficient to substitute the "libcameracustom.so" file with the one included in the zip file or I have to do something before or after?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Failed flash
Hi,
I've recently installed this ROM, someone suggested me that it could help me with some touchscreen issues I've been having. But now I'm stuck on bootloop. I'm not saying anything, I know this could happen.
Just before flashing I was running
XMP sk17a
.58 Android 2.3.4 (GB)
locked bootloader
stock kernel and ROM
Rooted and CWM
It seems like a good ROM, to bad that it couldn't boot properly, is it out of the question?, or do you have any advice to try again and see if I can get this ROM running on my device? Any help would be appreciated. Also, anyone knows something on how to fix an unresponsive touchscreen?
Thanks.

As the ROM you want to flash is an ICS ROM you need an ICS kernel. At the moment you're on GB, so I think at first you need to flash a stock ICS ROM (.ftf file) according to your device. You have locked bootloader, so no option to flash a custom ICS kernel. After flashing stock ICS ROM and including kernel you have the needed ICS kernel and should be able to install the UHD ROM .zip in CWM and run it properly.
Good luck!

I personally recommend you to install KitKat based Color OS because it looks absolutely beautiful.
In the past I used to have this ROM in an older version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and I was very happy with it.
