Hello all,
I'm curious to see if anyone knows what would be required to port an Inc2 ROM over to the IncS. There are a few threads I've found that don't seem to contain much in the way of concrete information...anyone with a handy guide, or willing to put one together?

there are guides out there, but honestly some roms will port with just a few lib changes and a new prop and service jar...others require serious debugging and hours spent looking through logcats
depends on if it was a stock rom for the device or if you are trying to port a port...which porting a port isnt recommended

i have dug a little and found the files which need edditting in order to make my own rom but still really have no idea what is what and really could use a tutorial or two....Would be great if somebody could direct me in the right direction,i would love ot atleast poke a little more in developing my own rom.i have 3 linux varieties to my disposal because the one thing i read said you needed linux however i don't know what additional software,etc to download.

I've been pondering the same thing, I found the following

This appears to be everything you need to get started. Let me know what issues you have because I'm planning on taking this task on myself. Perhaps bouncing troubleshooting issues could come in handy.
Please post questions in General section.
I had a thought today while at work and wanted to try my hand at porting over the LiquidMetal rom from the Acer over to our phones. Now, I know this isn't something thats easy to do (especially if you've never done any dev work or port a rom over before, like me.), and I know that if I just wanted to get the rom to boot, I can just swap the kernel's out and the rom should at least boot.
I want to (hopefully) use jermaine151's rom over at the Droid Incred. forum as the rom to port over, but, I still havent asked him as this is still just an idea and I wanted some insight as to what Im doing to need to make this happen.
I know Im going to have to port over a lot of lib files and drivers for wifi and such, so, my question is what would I need so I can at least get this rom up and running?
Also, Im downloading the Source Code for LiquidMetal as I type this, but, I dont know which would be easier to work on, compiling from source or working on a direct port.
Any opinions on this? Any tips would be great.
EDIT: Nevermind. Someone is already working on a port over in the dev section and its bootable already.
Don't have anything to say but if you port liquid metal from acer to our G2 i will love you forever, even if it sounds gay.
Fly like a G2
Thanks. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling soon.

Hi, all. I picked up a new GSII from USCC a few days ago and I wondered what exactly has to be done to port CWM and/or roms from the E4GT to our phone. I'm hoping that the process will be fairly simple since our GSII is identical to the E4GT, excluding the WiMax radio.
Bear in mind that I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 before you give me Windows answers. But any and all help is appreciated. Your positivity could be the help I need to become a real dev.
Until you guys get a kernel source drop (Sammy's too busy violating the GPL... again...), it'll be difficult to know what is and is not actually different.
You may get lucky and it'll primarily be a kernel swap and maybe a RIL swap - but not guaranteed.
Source has dropped on Samsung site https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone under SCH-R760U. Anyone give us some help on this, I'm also willing to give some porting a go, just need a little kick in the right direction.
im just wondering if someone can help me to understand what problems would keep someone from porting roms from other varients of the htc one to the one vx. im looking around and we seem to have one person who has succesfully created working roms for this device, is there a specific issue we are running intok?
Partitions, hardware, framework all vary on the phone sure there is more to it too. I'm not that knowledgeable to really say why it be hard too
Hello, I have a SPH-L900 since 2 years ago, I did the gsm mod and it worked perfectly, already bricked it sometimes and always got it back to work but I never knew the difference between the roms of SPH-L900 and N7100. Can anyone explain me the differences and maybe if you know it, what is needed to port a rom from N7100 to SPH-L900?
well i don't have to much experience with the N7100 but I've been building a lot with t0lte/l900. The first thing ill say is its not so much about porting the rom from n7100 as it is porting it too l900.
so with that said its hard to know were to start as i don't know how much experience you have. also since you use a gsm mod do you still use l900 roms or t0lte?
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_l900
make sure you pay attention to the "Prepare the device-specific code" section
take a look at you cm.dependencies file to get a good idea of what repos your phone uses to build
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_l900/blob/cm-12.1/cm.dependencies
so back to about porting roms to the l900 as long as its a cyanogenmod based rom its probably easier to start from your respective cm repo in are case the l900 repo then to try and convert the n7100 repo.
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_l900/tree/cm-12.1
Yeah, I'm still using L900 roms but there was one rom I've seen that asked for some kind of change in the files so it would match the N7100 roms. Never tried to do that. I'm not experient at building roms, I have some experience in programming since I'm an IT student. I was asking that because I wanted to try to port some roms but the day after I posted this I managed to break the digitizer while exchanging the outer glass, so no good now. Thanks for your help ^^
