Sorry if this question is in the wrong section or has already been asked. Seeing as it has to do with development I thought this section would be appropriate, and I couldn't find anything else really helping on this subject.
What I am wondering is does anyone have or know where a good guide on how to port a ROM from one device to another is? I have done some AOSP work in the past, so I'm not COMPLETELY new to ROM building, but I have had no success yet with porting anything.
Theres a flash patch somewhere that might work depending on what rom u want to port

he's talking about the IncredibleDoes AOSP flashpatch. Replaces files in AOSP builds to Inc ones.
I think IncredibleDoes was working on some sort of thing that made porting easier. I did a quick search but didn't find it, but it is around. Either way, he was definitely our most active dev in terms of porting. Best way to find him is on twitter @IncredibleDoes.

Oh okay, I just did a quick search for "Flash Patch" and found the one you are talking about, plus another that was built off that one. Thank you.
If I was going to learn how to port, after learning how to use the kitchen, I would look at some roms that are already ported and see how they did it.
First and most recent one that comes to mind is preludedrew's gingerbread rom.
Might even want to pm him about it as he is pretty active.

To correct this, Evervolv is not a 'port'. It is specifically built for the Droid Incredible platform. Exactly like CyanogenMod, which without them/that mod, Evervolv wouldn't have been possible. Sorry just wanted to clear that up =P
I was looking around the evo section and I came across this build of the Acer Liquid on the evo. I know a lot of people were interested in it back when IncDoes ported it to our incs but it wasn't a daily driver. It seems like bmxerkid954 on the evo forum has done a pretty good job of making it a whole lot better. Just was wondering if anyone could port it over?
Here is the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903470
That looks hot. You have my interest. Bump for this thread.
+1 for a port, looks awesome
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Agreed. +1/bump
I've wanted liquid since IncDoes teased it on twitter... I would gladly pay a dev for his time to port this over.
Hey, doing a quick google I found this. Would that ROM work with this thing? Anyone willing to try it? I can't atm because I'm right in the middle of a project for school and I need my phone for communication...
Of all the roms we should really try to get ported to the incredible, this is it. I keep seeing requests for roms which are just themes ported over and never bother with them. This one has unique UI aspects which are worth the trouble.

Alright, good to know
I agree, and for the skilled developers in this forum I don't think it would be that time consuming. I don't think it's too hard since the Evo framework is so much alike the incredible's. But then again I don't know much anyway.

alot. EVO's frame work is pretty similar. Incredible rEVOlution, Myn's warm two point two and incredibly re-engineered all use EVO framework, and there are probably more.
Oh man this would be awesome, somebody please pick this up
+1 for getting this ported. Looks sweet.
B.O.S (Sacs) is a good friend of mine ill talk to him and see if he minds if i port it to the inc. im know he wont care but ill ask any way.

I would say how does this relate to our device but I know it wouldnt change a thing.
Just general information. It tells us that our device is current not being worked on so don't expect anything.
There's some devices on that list that im sure only like 25 people are using..why is ours left out?? what gives!
Im sure its all because they don't have the drivers for ICS for our device, but why not CM7?

My thoughts exactly.
Tis a shame.
It has been stated by CM himself that they will skip CM 7 and directly work on CM 9 for T989.
Please edit this. Don't say that things are upon us for releases that will brick us. You know damn well that someone will flash this

And yet we have no sign that either will emerge. We dont even have an alpha.
Just noticed though, the skyrocket is on there. Hilarious they can build a rom for that, yet cyanogen himself supposedly owns our phone and we cant get a port. If people have hope after seeing that, theyre delusional.

It always seems like you post news the either does not relate to our device or is not really news that can't be found in a average twitter feed for Android users.
Anyway it has been stated in CyanogenMod's Google+ posts that ourphone will not be getting CM7 and will just skip to CM9...

I hate to be negative but I'm starting to think synergeticink is a troll, and has to post about every little thing related to SGS2.
We seriously don't need topics like this dude. Do it on your blog that you've mentioned. XDA isn't an extension of that.

because as far as I know it's the general T989 GSII section, not a "post news about any phone getting ICS constantly" section
Well I felt it was relevant since it tells us that our phone is not being worked on for CM7.
Is there a reason why there's lot of haters on this site? Never had this problem before.

I wonder if we can use this leaked rom ported to our T-Mobile SGSII? Kinda thought it didn't take much to get their roms ported over to ours? Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks and please don't flame me too much if it's a stupid question.

No it can't. Different processor. Different hardware. Different everything.
Use the ICS port that we already have.
I believe it was ported already. did you check the dev sections.

Okay I will ask this, have you asked the thread's original poster to have the consent to open up a general topic discussion thread? It is very impolite and rude if you didn't.
Speed is nothing more than just a word... a judgment ...

Mods have requested that QandA threads be opened for all ROMs to keep the dev section clean. I don't see this as being disrespectful or rude.
Anyway let's move on to better things.

In my personal opinion, I hate this, I rather talk to all my flashers than have to go to another thread to talk to them. In my opinion, this is just what I believe. I was just making sure no devs get mad c: that's all.
Before you flash, make sure you download the rotation fix and have it ready to flash after the rom. Or just turn off auto rotation.

No, i believe it has to do with the script support needed to flash CM9, which often possesses a larger kernel than stock images.
Just wanted to say thanks to the guys who are working on this. Just got my GSII a few days ago and was dismayed to find there were no good touchwiz free options for me, and then just in time this cm9 port went up.
I can't use my camera for now, and I'm afraid to turn off my gps, but it's a small price to pay for you guys all putting so much work in to exactly the rom that I wanted. I'll be sticking with this rom and donating to keep development going. Thanks guys.

Someone posted a work-a-round in the Dev section of CM9 about this. Someone else confirmed it worked for them. They said when in non-touch CWR to unmount then remount the cache partition. Then flash the SuperWipe script, then flash the ROM. They created an issue for it here: http://code.google.com/p/hercskycm/issues/detail?id=20 I would head over to the DEV section and read what they posted about it before doing it though.
I think that's the route I'm going to take since I'm still a little unsure about using 'touch' just yet.

Which touch version are you using? I'm about ready to make the leap. I've just become so familiar with the standard recovery. I'm leaning towards the version you pay a couple bucks for through ROM Manager. Even though I've never used ROM Manager for anything. But I've heard it's okay to upgrade or flash your recovery through ROM Manager though?

You can either flash the rom manager version or odin it. Thats the one I am using. Although a new version from team win just came out for my skyrocket and ill probably give that one a try.
