THIS IS NOW OUTDATED!!
It uses the old sqsh method WITH a rootfs. So if you're using the NoMoRootfs method, this won't work. Please use the already complete builds in the Kaiser/Vogue threads as they are working the best at this moment.
DISCLAIMER:
I take no responsibility for anything that may happen to your phone/computer. Use at your own risk.
PURPOSE:
This is for informational/testing purposes. And for people to stop asking, "can somebody port X rom!!! PLZ!!!"
PREFACE:
I made this as a quick tool to port ROMs from the Dream/Sapphire forums to work with our phones. It's a very quick and dirty script I threw together using bash, so there's probably some problems with it. This tool is simply designed to make a copy of the Dream/Sapphire ROM. Once you get the setup, it's really easy and you'll be porting like crazy.
I did this all on Ubuntu 9.10 so things might not work properly if you're using another distro.
THANKS:
All credit goes to the people that made this possible, in no particular order...
dzo, vilord, mssmison, zen, enatefox, pmos, jamezelle, craig0r, cyanogen, and so many more. If I forgot you, I'm sorry, but you know if you helped in some way.
THE SETUP:
1) Download this file
2) Extract the folder to your desktop. Then copy and paste the following code into the terminal:
Code:
sudo mv -f $HOME/Desktop/Android/genext2fs /bin/genext2fs; sudo chmod 755 /bin/genext2fs; sudo dpkg -P squashfs-tools; sudo dpkg -i $HOME/Desktop/Android/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_i386.deb; sudo rm -r $HOME/Desktop/Android/squashfs-tools_3.3-7_i386.deb; sudo chmod 777 $HOME/Desktop/Android/*.build.script
3) Now go into synaptic package manager, search for squashfs-tools, select it and under Package, check Lock Version so that way it won't try to update.
4) Now cruise over to the Dream android development forum or the Sapphire android development forum and download the ROM you would like to port. Place the zip file in the Android folder. (no need to rename)
5) Place any .apk's you would like built into the system in the Apps folder.
ADVANCED SETUP:
If you would like to tweak the system before building, open the script in a text editor and you'll find a line to uncomment that will halt the script until you are ready.
HOW TO RUN:
Either run the script from a terminal
Code:
./$HOME/Desktop/Android/HERO.build.script
or
./$HOME/Desktop/Android/Donut.Build.script
Or double click and Run in Terminal
You will get a prompt for your password to use the sudo command. THIS IS NOT SAVED ANYWHERE OR MAGICALLY SENT TO ME. It is just to get the system.sqsh setup for you to use.
You will now see a Donut/Hero folder inside the Android folder. Inside that will be a nice little system.sqsh with the date ready to boot!
*Rename to system.sqsh when you put on your SD card*
Grab the latest basefiles from vogue-android and you're good to go.
~~~~~~ To get an output of what's happening run in a terminal as described above but add " > build.txt" and you'll see a txt file in the Android folder. ~~~~~~~
CHANGING SYSTEMS:
If you want to port a new rom, replace the .zip.
UPDATES:
1) Download the updates from HERE
2) Extract to the Android folder overwriting if necessary.
3) Copy and paste the following code into a terminal:
Code:
sudo chmod 777 $HOME/Desktop/Android/*.script
CLEANUP:
If you follow the advanced setup and/or accidentally closed the terminal before the build finishes, run the cleanup script. This will unmount everything that might be mounted and delete all folders that are made during the process.
DOWNLOADS:
If you're too lazy or just want a quick link:
Main "Android porting" folder
Updates
Input, testers, bugs, and tweaks to the scripts are appreciated!
FAQ:
Why does my system.sqsh not work?
Most likely cause is that you're not using the correct version of squashfs-tools. You'll have to find version 3.X for the distro you're using. Version 4.X will NOT work!!!
When I try to boot a system.sqsh I just made I keep getting something about android power wake locks. WTF?
You're probably trying to port an eclair or cyan ROM. These don't work at the current state. Hopefully soon I'll get these working.
Will update more when they arise.
CHANGELOG:
11-27-09:
-Created a cleanup script in case the terminal is closed during the build process.
-Bug fixes in Donut and Hero scripts
11-24-09:
-Added an Apps folder for apk's you want built into the system.
-Bug fixes in scripts
11-22-09:
-Combined everything needed into a zip file
-WAY easier to setup
11-20-09:
-Added feedback to make more user friendly
-Append time to system.sqsh

For some reason I cannot use -a in the genext2fs command. Had to remove that..
One of the Donut is working. Couldnt get the Cyanogen build working . Struggling with hero build also.
Will try again in the next couple of days and post results.

Make sure you use the genext2fs that I referenced.
That one works with -a and might take care of some issues. try that and see if it works.
Updated script to now move system to a Hero or Donut folder.
Working on the cyanogen build now...
EDIT: Here's a cyanogen script that gets it to boot, but sits at a black screen. I haven't had much time to test it so it might boot further than that if you leave it. If somebody wants to test this out or tweak it in some way go for it.
It uses the donut.sqsh in the Android folder so you shouldn't have to do anything with it except make it executable.
EDIT 2: Still working on cyan builds... that script didn't work.
great job i like to see stuff like this to motivate people!!! also note this will work with any donut or hero build from the sapphire forum

Good point, forgot to mention that. Updated first post.
I'm hoping it will help people start to learn to tweak system's. But I have a slight feeling wer're going to start seeing a lot of "MLIGN/DWANG/etc's Android Rom" threads from random people.
Hi
Was able to port the DWANGs build using your script. Thanks a lot for making life this simple. Howev3er, hero build is still not working. Tried your genesxt2fs. Is it possible to get the links to correct base hero version to use? I tried magic and normal version. It keeps giving me black screen and doesnt completely boot. I think the base hero version is not the right one i am using
Thanks
OK, I think I figured out the problem. The apps folders weren't copying over from the data folder to the system folder correctly. Testing now, and will update first post with new scripts.
EDIT: Finally got the Hero builds working correctly. You should still be able to use any hero.sqsh.

Hi
was able to get the hero ported and a few things worked
1. Calls
2. SMS
3. Wifi (getting ips)
4. Working with partition rootfs (speed quite great with this)
Not working
1. Camera
2. GPS
I am using he ION build to build the hero roms (based on the inputs of Zen). May be I need to use another hero rom for the camera to work? I recommend that the links to the recommended build to be used as template (donut, hero...) be updated on the first thread to make it easy for others to have a single starting platform

If using a hero.sqsh doesnt fix the problem it sounds like it might be the rootfs (probably not copying over correctly). Ill take a look at it when I get home and update the first post with hero/donut.sqsh's.
Im also thinking about combing the 2 into just one script and youll be able to just type which build you want when you run it. What do you think? Or is the 2 seperate scripts more convenient?

Personally i prefer the separate scripts mainly because each requires a different base templates. However if you prefer to combine them may be have sub-folders within the main so that the work happen for each port within the sub-folder.
Few suggestions if you like (please ignore if not correct.. being a non-programmer of linux I can be a bit off )
1. Let the folder names be requested at start and use them
2. If possible to put in a log of the run to check if there were issue or not (because i use double-click to run the script sometimes there is a problem that i face if i dont watch the window. for now i have put some waits to check the errors. Had this issue while testing to port one)
If I can help (except on coding as I dont know it.. generally change the script just enough to work... )
Queries/questions
1. Is there a way to test the build on the comp itslef rather than to keep booting on the phone (takes a lot of time and the phone is not usable all that time...)
Thanks for all the work

I'll try to make the script more user friendly with prompts if something doesn't happen correctly. And also work on naming folders.
But first I want to figure out the camera/gps issues...
There isn't a way to boot it on the comp that I know of. I'll upload blank data.img's for each build so that they'll boot faster but other than that I think moving to SD Card and booting is the only way. But once all these bugs get sorted out, you won't have to do it as often!
EDIT: Which folders would you like to name? Just where the system.sqsh gets stored?

Android folder... but its not a big deal as one can easily change it while startign the script
Seems to have gone unnoticed here!
To run Ubuntu on Android/Samsung you need to create an img file using my post, you can also use two of my start and stop scripts from here start stop.
Step 1:
Lets begin by preparing our device by create an folder on android, connect your phone to your computer and do:
Code:
1
sudo adb shell
2
cd /sdcard
3
mkdir ubuntu
4
exit
Step 2:
Now you can upload the img file and if you like you can also upload my start and stop scripts.
Code:
1
sudo adb push ubuntu.img /sdcard/ubuntu
2
sudo adb push startA_ubuntu.sh /sdcard/ubuntu
3
sudo adb push stopA_ubuntu.sh /sdcard/ubuntu
Step 3:
Now that you have done all the prep work you can use your ubuntu by doing:
Code:
1
su
2
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
3
sh startA_ubuntu.sh ubuntu.img
Step 4:
To exit just run:
Code:
1
exit
2
sh stopA_ubuntu.sh
That’s it, no more no less

Could you please post your ubuntu img file to a file sharing site.
I am never able to create the image. It always fails when i try to build the image.
If you want, I can host it on my server for no cost if you dont have space on your server.

LOL, I thought so! But maybe with a lightweight wm like xfce or openbox...
Maybe just opening X with no wm but FireFox open... for *true* flash support (like full Facebook and games and everything)!If it boots fast enough...
But does it reboot and is there a boot manager or what?

In case anyone skips it, the link at the bottom of the OP shows a youtube clip of it running. I like how it runs on top of android (vnc to localhost).
Anyways, if anyone does this, I would appreciate feedback on flash in web browser (thinks of Mozilla firefox ) My concern are hardware functions like wifi.
I will try to install firefox on it and see if it can run flash. You are using androids network so you have internet using your mobile connection, so wifi should also work.

I wish samsung would just release froyo already. Atm, i hate doing anything major on my phone, knowing that it will all have to be redone.
It won't be able to run flash. Why? Flash is closed source! Adobe has to release a binary for linux ARM, and adobe has not released a binary, and adobe will not release a binary.
That is why flash is bad, and the sooner it dies, the better.

that's what I was afraid of, oh well.
So the only reason to install this is to use programs made for arm versions of linux.... where are they? I tried googling for some arm linux applications and didn't find any website with a consolidated list.

Does the 3g connection work? I cant ping or apt-get update ~
Someone got a working gui?
Telephony isn't supported, mainly an OS issue. What you're running is a desktop OS it simply isn't designed for phone things such as sms or calling.

Just kidding, I also think that maybe power-management and things like that are not implemented, right? Maybe just "simple" 3G connectivity could be enough...

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEL MAC & LINUX:
Note: Mac and Linux users may be prompted to enter administrative password, as adb server requires sudo permissions to start.
No drivers required.
Extract the zip file.
Put the run.sh inside the directory you just extracted.
Open Terminal. Use the cd command to get to the directory. If you extracted inside the Downloads folder, it would be easy in Terminal as so:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/epic.aio.v2.01
Now give permissions and run it:
Code:
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh

It works, but its pretty rough. The screen flickers, and sometimes the navigation is kinda iffy. But backup/restore works and you can flash .zips.. and that's whats important. This should get polished in the next week or so
How did you guys get it to work? Whenever I run that run.bat, it gives me a massive list of "ping is not a recongized command" and "Tab is not a recognized command" and finally ends up doing nothing
I moved the extracted directory to the root of my drive, and it actually made a bit of a difference, as the batch file went a bit further. But still, it ended up doing nothing...
Any ideas?

If you don't know how to run a batch file in Windows, then you might want to consider switching to a Mac
Noobnl has packaged this into a one-click method... you just extract the folder into your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder and double click run.bat while your phone is connected to USB with USB debugging enabled.
If you still can't figure it out, then you should just give up pal

Can some post a clean nandroid backup?
Thank you for your efforts!
I am a noob in flashing or compiling custom roms though (locked bootloader on my only other android device, the Motorola Milestone).
I have read that this allows us to inject a nandroid backup into the rom, but would like to know more. What are the benefits of this recovery? What can it be used for? Can i for example flash a stock android build onto my Tab?
Thanks in advance for some helpful, non flamer answers...
Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
Worked with no problems on my SGC with Rogers ROM.
I actually used NinjaMorph to package the modified resources.arsc into framework-res.apk, but I assume the original method will work too.

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.
Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here
The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).
For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)
adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there

What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.
When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.
It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<
I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Attached to this post is a CWM update with CRT Screen OFF and battery icon with percent for ROGERS ROM. I'm not sure this will work on AT&T ROM.
Make a backup before applying this update so you can restore if you end up stuck on SAMSUNG logo on boot.
Apologies to the author of the battery mod - I couldn't find his post to link to here...

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.
Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.
Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

I changed a bit the CWM mod. Hopefully this one will work. Make a backup of your current ROM - I'm not sure if this mod is compatible with OsiMood.

CRT Screen Mod -- Works with Rom manager..
Addition
Default Battery Indicator Changed.. Shows Percentage in steps of 5%..
Anyone having problems powering off and crashing GO Launcher? (then run through media scanner, etc..)
Could you remove the battery mod? I don't like it compared to OSiMood battery >_>
Finally, sorry for demanding so much, could you also put CRT on and ICS animations here?
Sorry!!!!!
Having serious problems turning off. This then affects my underclock.
Hey guys
As you might know, many people want to enable SMS & MMS on their tablet.
Unfortunately, until now someone needed to manually edit your framework-res.apk
But not anymore!
I made a script that will do it automatically on any framework!
3 Steps for noobs (fully-automatic version):
1) Download it (v1.2 for noobs)
2) Connect your device to pc (usb-debugging enabled)
3) Extract and run LAUNCH THIS
4 Steps for smart people (semi-automatic version):
1) Download it (v1.2)
2) Extract & put YOUR framework-res.apk in the same folder
3) Run LAUNCH THIS
4) Push the SmSframework-res.apk to your device (don't ask how, i will also make a version for really noobish people, which will pull and push your framework automatically)
-----------------
CHANGELOG:
2012-03-02: Made script more clear to understand, added auto-reboot on noob version
-----------------
NOTICE:
Dear noob-version users, currently the script does not mount the system partition automatically as R/W, if you got such an error, please use Root explorer to mount the system as R/W
P.S. Dear Americans, most carriers block SMS in the US
I'll wait for the (version for really noobish people, which will pull and push your framework automatically) 'cause I'm a lil lazy right now LOL.
I will do backup, and give it a try! I'll be back to let you know how it went, Thanks.

Arrow [MOD][SCRIPT] Auto SMS-MMS Enabler for Tablets (Any ROM!)Arrow
Ok,
Ran the LAUNCH script - got to the point where it was going to enable the SMS, then error "Sms Enabled"
- Access denied no such file or application found."
C:/Sms-Mms enabler/edit.exe not a valid win32 application
But everything else on the script ran but with errors. I think the problem file is the "edit.exe"
After REBOOT - have to redo the Google Login, and Exchange Service for other Mail.
Afterwords checked System/framework folder .... both files were there. (framework-res.apk and SmSframework-res.apk.
I hope you get it working, because this would be awesome!
Works with stock or only customs? Tks

Or you could have both versions the 32-bit (for those running in WINXP) and 64-bit application (for those running WIN7) that way, everybody is covered.

A new framework always wipes google accounts, idk why
also i did not test on 3.2
I will look in to it, i'll keep you posted
.
Im using EOS 1.0.0 ICS with my MZ601.
I generated the new SmSframework-res.apk,and pushed it as framework-res.apk
There is no stock sms application so i installed Gosms pro from market, and the sms feature works pretty fine with it
however my original framework-res.apk was 7.98 MB in file size, whereas the new generated Smsframework-res.apk is 4.46 MB
Why is this difference in file size ?? Is anything stripped from the framework-res ?
