So, ive got source's of android to my smartphone thanks to kindness of my device company. Its source for gingerbread 2.3.4 i want to take the device tree from it and convert it to CM11.0 and here is the thing. How to do this? What do i need to know? Is there any guide?
Third post on this forum and none got replied? Rly?
Well you could have done some search before asking
As far as i know you can't convert your android soruce to CM , but you can port a CM ROM in your device but since you have GB your only able to port CM7 , also next time write your device name so i know what we are talking about
---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
A lil more search and i was able to find that your device has the same chip as Samsung GALAXY mini 2 , go to galaxy mini 2 forum and ask there if someone can port CM11 to your device , If this helped press the THANKS button
My phone is GSmart G1345. Samsung galaxy ace have pretty smilar hardware so as htc wildfire s, and those devices have already CM11 develoed. If i take device tree from their sources, and do some changes, could it work ? Or maybe port it somehow but i dont know what base rom to use
Btw. Ive done already a lot of research but my smartphone is pretty rare. If you could point me where to start off it would be great

First of all , nop you don't have same specs as the phone you said , You can only port roms or kernels from phones who have same Chipset and Samsung galaxy ace or wildfire have a Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon and you have Qualcomm MSM7227T Snapdragon so its not the same , maybe you can port roms HTC ChaCha and Samsung GALAXY mini 2 since they have the same chip as yours
As for porting roms check in the devolper thread i think theres a tool there that helps you in the process but you need a kernel first and i don't know how to port that , also i don't understand why do you want CM10 or 11 since they would lag so badly in a 800mhz device

From what i read Samsung galaxy mini 2 have MSM7227A click. Also can you port gingerbread to CM? I readed that it needs to be same android ver. so i probably need compile from source right? Or am i wrong?
Also comparing MSM7227T to MSM7227 thers only a 200mHz diffrence beetwen those chipset

http://system-on-a-chip.findthebest.com/l/254/Qualcomm-MSM7227T#devices&s=2oFpnh&st=2JobHv (that's why i said maybe cuz this site says that galaxy_mini_2 uses MSM7227T but you can try with HTC ChaCha )
Also you don't port GB to android , you port CM7(that uses GB as base) to your device so you have a custom android rom , also do you have your kernel source cuz you will need that for sure (if you don't have that the chance that you can port the rom are less than 1% , maybe using the boot.img from your room would work)
Better ask in galaxy_mini_2 section or in HTC ChaCha thread , maybe someone there would help you to port a rom and a working kernel
I never tried to port roms so i can't port one for you , let alone even if i tried i don't own your device so it would take a lot of time (and that's something i don't have)

ohh yeah cuz i forgot you can also build CM roms from CM source and you add your kernel on top of it and it should work

yeah but it depends on people workig on it , for example my HD2 has only 1ghz of max frequency but since it has alot of Roms and custom kernels , im able to overclock it beyond 1.5 , i even was able to get 2ghz on it so it depends on the kernel , if someone modify your phone kernel he may be able to achive higher speeds

Hello Everybody,
I want to know that how can i get the kernel from stock rom or any other method for rom development especially for ICS development for our Device i.e. Micromax A85 a re-branded model of K-Touch w700/Cherry Magnum 2x it is an Tegra-2 Dual-Core Device and still running on Gingerbread and now we want ICS :crying: . But the only thing which we are not having is kernel source and Micromax is not giving it to us as well .So people please help us.Please!!!!!!!
And if you can help us in any different way like helping as porting rom from any device to on our device, Please let me know!!!! :cyclops:
Micromax is ****.
We fought long enough for kernel source...got nothing..
My A70 has Froyo...we couldn't get touch to work in CM7...it booted though..
I don't think there's any hope in the kernel source matter.

Well Bro. You are right i have fought for those kernel too but we didn't get anything at last and they kept deleting our posts from their fb page.
And for your device i found this on Xda while surfing a long time ago and thinks that you might want to give it a try........
" Micromax uses qualcomm chipsets. You can find their kernel here. Just look at your device's build.prop for ro.product.board. For example, my Micromax A57 uses msm7627a chipset. "

I was referring about Micromax models that uses Qualcomm chipsets, as most of them nowadays release Qualcomm based CPU.
Regarding, Nvidia Tegra 2, search for a similar device (maybe Samsung/Sony/Motorola etc.) that uses this CPU, and see whether they have got any custom kernel. Maybe it helps regarding directing to actual sources.

Just like the Xpera P & Sola I've also considered to make a Thread....for the Port Jelly Bean to Galaxy Ace 2 from Galaxy SIII Mini :fingers-crossed:
It's know that our Galaxy Ace 2 is a device with Novathor u8500 SoC chipset
and right now, i'm pretty sure that Samsung will provide Jelly Bean for our device next year. But, we also know that there out is a device with our same chipset and Jelly Bean at launch. Yes, i'm talking about Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini. I have been talking with some users on their forum and i think some information can help us to port jelly bean to our Galaxy Ace 2
So, here are some files which can help us to make a working Jelly Bean Rom on our device:
1. I want to thanks nixonik member to provide a full system dump of SGSIIIMini in here System dump.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-S6...d6cDVsb00/edit
2. Jelly Bean open source code for this rom, provided by Samsung.
in HERE http://d-h.st/c1n
Now that would be really great if some devs step up to initiate this.

I think Ace 2 and SIII Mini's SoC are not EXACTLY alike but many of us expected to use the SIII Mini for the ongoing project of porting AOSP Jelly Bean to Ace 2 but we've had no luck since many believed that SIII Mini won't help that much with the port so the project has been stalled and we've been waiting for at least an update to the S Advance (or at least a leak we could port) or an official Ace 2 update. I don't really know where this is going but I don't really have my hopes up for Jelly Bean on Ace 2, well at least not until next year.

That wouldn't work, their kernels are different, their libs, drivers, RIL interface and wrappers are also different. They don't even use the same chipset model and have a totally different board configuration with different components. Their specifications may appear to be similar on paper but it's a different story when it comes to internals.
And Jelly Bean requires Kernel 3.x, it's something that we don't have for the Ace 2 yet and porting a whole kernel from another device running the same chipset is almost impossible. Without kernel 3.x a whole load of things won't work, that obviously includes Vsync (which is totally incompatible with the current Kernel 2.6). We don't even have the device-specific JB sources for the Ace 2 so a lot of things won't work even if someone gets JB booting. Basically what needs to be done:
(1) Get it to boot with a custom 2.6 kernel/experimental 3.0.x (if built)
(2) Fix primary/critical hardware-specific code for the novathor chipset (display, audio)
(3) Fix RIL
(4) Fix secondary hardware (sensors, bluetooth, wifi)
(5) Fix camera HAL
Gonna be hard without the device sources.
Thanks for this little explanation yowanvista and yes it is gonna be hard and what about galaxy advance ? is this devise really different from ace 2 ?

Sure it can, even my i9001 works with CM10 but Vysnc is broken (and will always be unless a proper Kernel 3.0.x is used). However it seems pointless to use a dated kernel with a whole load of compatibility patches and reverse wrappers here and there just to fill the gaps. It would be better to use a fully fledged Kernel 3.X with everything already set in place, proper drivers and libs without having to look elsewhere trying to port & adapt specific code for the Ace 2. We'll have the official JB sources next year so it's useless to hit your head against a wall trying to figure out how to make a half-baked kernel without the required pieces of code. With the new sources development will be easier, porting CM10.1 will easier too, it's better to wait imho.
JB for Galaxy S Advance is now available
i think this might help. Galaxy S Advance is now receiving JB update. DOWNLOAD LINK

Isn't Gigabyte GS202 based on MT6577 ?
I have that phone and it says GS202+ (maybe the plus is the difference?) and it's a MT6577 Dual Core 1GHz whereas MT6575 is a single core.
I wish someone would make a CWM for these phones.

Sounds great but this part worries me. Doesn't this kill the manufacturers recovery which is installed on the phone by default and which is used for non OTA official upgrades? If this kills that and something goes wrong with the installation are you still able to boot into recovery of the phone? I'm a bit worried that I could brick the phone.

I've got a reply from Gigabyte saying they won't be upgrading the GS202/GS202+ from ICS to JB but I was thinking;
The Maya M1 which is the latest model running JB is using the same MT6577 as GS202+. The main difference is the camera (8 Vs. 5 Mpixel) and the higher resolution screen. Maybe it would be possible to combine the two official firmwares into one new for GS202+ JB. It is an almost untouched Google UI.
Just a thought. any comments...?

Hi, My name is Mark David. I am holding right now a phone you have never heard before. Its called the iNO One . At first when i bought the phone, I went to the ino wikia site where I could root, install the clockworkmod recovery and flash his custom rom. The phone is similar to the Lenovo A750 and I successfully was able to port the Lewa OS developer version rom from the official website into the iNO One.
Unfortunately, while I was reading up the manufacturer facebook, I soon found out that they will not be providing the source code for this phone.
I hope you can teach or help me to port other roms like e.g CM10.1 for this phone using the source code.
I hope that you can help me

You can search forums, there are some guides on how to make a kernel using source code nd if u succeed in making a cm10 for mt6575 then I think u will be first one to do that nd then hopefully we can port that to our mt6575 phones!

Hi,
I am trying to port a stable release of CM10 from Galaxy S3 to Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SHV-E120S) ... :cyclops:
But i'm facing a problem...i was able to port it and the device booted too...but the camera does not show anything....it simply shows a black screen....thats it...
I have not tested it much coz that was the first application i started and it didn't work quite well.
Then I installed the 4.3 Gallery/Camera which worked but only the camera worked. When I switch it to video mode it shows me a blurred screen...but when i played the recorded video, it actually was very clear...only the display has a fault while shooting video.
So basically, is there anyone who can tell me why am I getting a black screen...
First I thought there could be some problem with the S3 ROM itself....but since it was a stable release I dont think the S3 rom has a problem...
So it would be great, if any one could point me to the right direction....
Thanks friends...
AOSP camera's dont work perfectly on the S3 anyway.
Rather than porting, you would be better trying to build source using a device tree from your device. Surely there already exists AOSP source code for it?
"porting" rarely yields expected results.
Hi rootSu,
So if I port CM10 from some other device (other than the SGS 3) do you think that will work...(for eg. SGS II I9100)
Coz I really need a CM10 for my device....that stock is simply a battery/performance hogger...
Thanks.

When you talk about porting, do you mean not compiling from source code? Perhaps using something like disxda kitchen's piorting fucntion? Or do you have a Linux build server which you will use for compiling code?
Sadly Xperia m5 got marshmallow and we didn't!
Is there any way to use that to build a rom for redmi note 2?
Useless for us.
Only the soc is same
Other chipset like wifi/bt and modem/rf is different
The camera and other sensors is also different
I extract the config from stock kernel then compile the kernel with hermes config and xperia m5 kernel source on xperia dev
The kernel can boot on miui and cm12.1 but wifi/bt , radio and a lot of sensors is not working because of different chipset i think
Sorry for my bad english
I wish at least someone tries to port Xperia m5 5.0 or 5.1 rom!
Idk why no one tries

We don't have drivers sources. What if someone will port that rom? Everything will not work for example bluetooth, Wi-Fi, camera and much more. Developers hasn't any reason for do that.
Kernels must be decompiled -they are not compressed archives that can be unpacked. If there is no source code, kiss the idea goodbye.
There are too many hardware differences in the M5 to be even remotely useful. There is a LeTV phone that is far closer to ours (if not almost identical) and maybe one of the HTC models with 6795 SoC such as X9?
As pointed out by @bjsiu0617 It is the LCD screen and other add-on hardware that cause the problem - having the same SoC helps with most of the wifi, BT, modem etc. that is all part of the System on Chip.
Maybe a decent technical thread could be started to identify potential donor phones? It would have to break down each candidate into its component parts i.e. what model LCD, mag sensor, light sensor, cameras etc.
The sad part is that most of the candidates do not have Marshmallow and also have bastardized version of Android like MIUI and eMIUI etc.
just enjoy your xiaomi and your lollipop...

I didn't mean marshmallow. I saw in a tutorial that mediatek devices with same soc can port roms (same android version). And we have working 5.0 and 5.1 kernels.
This is it

I think in this way we use xiaomi drivers. I said that because Xperia rom looks better than cm12.1 or aosp. And I thought it would be nice to have a 5.0 or 5.1 Xperia rom.
I'm confused. You created thread about Marshmallow for xperia m5 and now you only want Lollipop rom for our device because this port would look better.
Yes at first it was about marshmallow but I said no one even tried to port the 5.0 rom. I tried but couldn't unpack the kernel as it was in that tutorial.
