Well i will share my knowladge to you people, two years of learning stuff about android....
If this guide dont help you (0,01 possibilities) LOGCAT YOUR BUILD!! I WILL TRY TO HELP
Tools needed /by saranhai/:
7zip (alternative to winrar, doesn't matter which you choose to use)
Notepad++ (highly recommend if you're on windows)
Android SDK/ADB (MUST HAVE, for troubleshooting and such)
dsixda kitchen (could come in handy)
First to port an ics rom you need winrar.
This are the steps:
grab an ics rom like cm9 or aokp to take the libs and hw folders
Never unzip the rom.
1-from cm9/aokp copy all outside system, i mean boot.img mtd etc..... and past it over the rom you are porting (nexus s rom)
2-enter system/app and remove torch.apk, crespoparts.apk and replace camera.apk with aokp camera.
3-enter system bin and replace this files with aokp/cm9 ones
*dhcpcd
*bluetoothd
*vold
*wpa_client
*wpa_supplicant
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4-enter system etc and replace this files with aokp/cm9 ones
*bluetooth folder
*dhcpcd folder
*Apnconf.xml
*wifi
*vold.fstab
*vold.conf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5-Then we go to the libs, enter system/lib and replace:
*HW folders
*modules folders
*egl folders
*libril.so
*libsec-ril.so
*libreference-ril.so
*libsec-ril-client.so
*libbluedroid.so
*libbluetooth.so
*libbluetoothhd.so
*lib_cameraclient.so
*libcameraservice.so
*libhardware_legncy.so (very important to wifi to work) hell this caused me problems
*libEGL
*libgles (the 3 files)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
--------------replace usr and vendor folders-------------------
And last edit build.prop, well first check if it boots then you change this and add this.
edit this:
ro.product.model=GT-I9000
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I9000
ro.product.device=GT-I9000
ADD THIS TO SIGNAL TO WORK!!
additional build propieties
ro.telephony.ril_class=SamsungRIL
ro.telephony.ril.v3
=icccardstatus,datacall,signalstrength,facilitylock
mobiledata.interfaces=pdp0,eth0,gprs,ppp0
ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.adb.qemud=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADVANCED USERS ONLY (dont ask me how) :
for working external sd (emcc) you need to decompile/recompile framework-res.apk
you need to change this:
xml/storage_xml with other storage xml from aokp or cm9

Click to collapse
I´m not responsible for bricked devices (this shouldnt brick it) but i dont want anyone crying because i will laugh at you, it works for me..
Libs functions
Lib:
*Libhardware_legancy.so (makes wifi works)
*all libs with ril: DATA and SIGNAL
*LibEGL, modules, hw: hw aceleration, lights,etc...
*Libgles (Gpu and cpu)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
etc:
*apns-conf.xml (all related to apn and services)
*dchcpd,vold.ftsab,vold.conf: internal sd
*wifi,bluetooth: wifi bluetooth lol

someone correct me if im wrong but im preaty sure what im writing...
Thanks for this thread. It should give many new possibilities!
amazing guide thx for sharing
Things i would add:
7zip (alternative to winrar, doesn't matter which you choose to use)
Notepad++ (highly recommend if you're on windows, used to edit build.prop and other text files)
Android SDK/ADB (MUST HAVE, for troubleshooting and such)
dsixda kitchen (could come in handy)
I will add more if i think of any
EDIT: Forgot this...
If you are experiencing issues booting up, here's how to get a logcat so you can figure out what's wrong:
connect phone to computer
open up command prompt
navigate to your android sdk tools folder i.e C:/androidsdk/platform-tools (ADB MUST BE SET UP BEFOREHAND)
type in:
Code:
adb logcat
watch as a whole bunch of text scroll by, don't bother reading it right now, do it later.
If you want to stop the logcat, just disconnect phone from computer.

oh, haha i dont think there is another way rather than using your device as a lab rat.... lmao
I give you an unbrickeable guide, if you dont forget to swapp the boot.img and hw and modules folder you wont brick it since recovery is on the kernel, so you can restore or do what you want, if you flash a nexus s kernel (as example you forgot to remove it) you will soft brick it

im ok thanks for asking !! i moved to the galaxy nexus thats why im not posting much lol, im playing with the baby!
to the point, you should try, it wont harm, but if you do try, dont port aosp, they need special coding in framework or something similar and you will get a nice dark screen on booting, well if its cyanogenmod or aokp then yes it should work..

I think that's very basic that they check it .
I'm more curious about other things that are not so obvious while testing:
volume keys while sleeping, battery usage, g-sensor, correct behavior of the audio jack (audio switches to jack instead of speaker), etc...
'gsm long text > 160 chars' issues can't have anything to do with the kernel used as I see it. That's something of the messaging app and / or the radio RIL used.
Hmm, new kernel to play with... might be the push I needed to try building my own android stuff to learn
Am I missing something with regards to the wlan module sources? Didn't see them so far...
Or am I being stupid (highly likely)

Do you have the latest commit? I believe initially there were some missing files. I know when I grabbed the source the first time i had wlan drive compile issues
I applied this to both cronos rom and to superhero rom and both got really sluggish after installing it (I used the boot.img posted among the first posts).
YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS TO WORK!!!
ORIGINAL
Here is the post copied from the OP...
These are the current instructions and download:
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2.) Rename the "signed_velvet-voicereco.apk" that you downloaded (link below) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3.) Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4.) Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1.) Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak

Everything works as advertised on stock, not sure about any other roms.
used the 2nd method. regular search is odd, because it will come up with a blank screen for your results and then if you touch it and scroll the results will show up. also kinetic scrolling doesn't work on it.
also it won't let me select a favorite sports team, for some reason.

Screenshots:
Video from original thread, so not on Xperia S but Galaxy Nexus.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tested working on FXP145 and newer. Older should probably work too, but I'm not sure about that. (CM10 and Xperia S, of course)
Please report if it works and any bug you run in to! And you might want to backup the files modded by this mod (services.jar, framework-res.apk, framework2.jar, framework.jar and android.policy.jar which are all in the system/framework/ folder) in case you want to get back to the original lockscreen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download:
Here.
Warning! Somebody reported to me the mod isn't working properly on FXP149. Somebody else reported it working though, so I guess it should be fine. You probably want to backup your files for the sake of safety though.
Install instructions:
1. Save the zip to your phone's memory.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Go to "Install from zip" -> "Install from sdcard" and select the zip file.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
5 . Reboot device and enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big thanks to:
evilisto for making the patch needed for this mod!
The FXP team(Bin4ry, Defer, Kali, Jerpelea) for making this beatiful rom!
Been waiting for this and it works great. Only thing is that when you unlock it the time doesn't dissappear straight away, but this is so minor I don't really care. Thanks a lot!

The framework is different. Give him the PA 2.55 framework-res.apk (and maybe a few other files, I don't remember what is used) so he can apply over it.
I am just waiting for FXP to fix the problems on their kernel which was causing problems on dual boot to update my PA to the next version, so consider it, @OP, a request for the future.

Yes I know about that first one, but as you can see in the video, it's in the original mod too. So I don't think I can do anything about it. Will look into the source though.
That second thing looks interesting, because here it shows up every time, even though sometimes barely visible. Are you sure it really isn't there sometimes?

Sadly enough that won't work, because the patch (from the original mod) isn't done to the compiled (framework-res.apk, framework.jar etc...) files, but to the source code. Then I compile it and pick out the files needed, pack them up in a zip file, and deliver them to you .

Yeah I was already thinking about that, but I don't know for sure if it will work. Since this patch is made for CM10, I think it might break some things specific to PA. I'll download the PA source and try it out when I have some spare time

Hello,
I am learning about rom development, and want some information about porting a rom from one version of the Nexus to another. There are a couple roms that are on the GSM Nexus that I would like to see on the Verizon Nexus. Where can I find documentation on what the differences are between the same rom running on both versions of the phone? Is this just the binaries found on the Google Developer page, or is there more that would be required for porting from maguro to toro?
There's more to it. There's some lib files that might be needed in order for some stuff to work properly. But its real easy tho. Make sure the ROM u want to port is the same android version. So for example u want to port a 4.2.1 ROM make sure your base ROM is also a 4.2.1 like cm 10.1. Then u just copy some files from one ROM to another. So u go into your ROM that u want to port and u open it with 7zip go to system folder and copy app fonts framework and media folder and copy them to your base ROM. Then u go into the lib folder and copy libandroid_runtime.so and paste that into system lib folder of your base. Then it should work. That would be the basic way of doing it. As far as building from source I can't help u there lol. Good luck.

Ok, how do I know which lib files I need? Is there somewhere I can go that says this file does this, this file does that? For example if the camera doesnt work, or if sound doesnt work, how do I know which files are needed for those?
Also, why copy the app fonts framework and the media folder?

Because the framework folder has all the mods from the ROM. As far as camera u don't have to worry about that since they are both the same phone. The only lib file u need to change is the one I mentioned. That's the one that usually will give u a problem booting up. But that's what I was told u need to change and it works.

Is there a place that documents what all of these files do? I am trying to go a couple levels deeper than just "Do it because it works". I am hoping to find a place that will explain why, so I can track down bugs when they pop up.

I see. I'm not to that level yet. Try Google search or maybe even YouTube see if u find something. I do know u will need knowledge on how to use adb so u can do logcats when errors occur. Good luck man.

Alright, I got the rom to boot, but I am not getting any signal or wifi. What files do I need to get these working? I want specifics, not copy over all files in a single folder, because I dont want to lose any of the customization already in the rom.
I once ported a version of minco to Toro before there was an official version. I figured out which files to swap by comparing file by file two roms - one maguro one Toro. Any file that was divergent file size got swapped except systemui.apk and frameworkres.apk. I used two bugless beast roms as a base. It worked perfectly.

Hello,
I am learning about rom development, and want some information about porting a rom from one version of the Nexus to another. There are a couple roms that are on the GSM Nexus that I would like to see on the Verizon Nexus. Where can I find documentation on what the differences are between the same rom running on both versions of the phone? Is this just the binaries found on the Google Developer page, or is there more that would be required for porting from maguro to toro?

There are hardly any differences. I looked at it a lot when the jelly bean developer preview was released for gsm devices and I 'ported' it for toro. I had a list of the differences, but apparently lost it. I want to say that there are only 10-15 differences. The way I found out what the main differences were was by comparing the same build of CM for toro and maguro using Beyond Compare using a binary comparison. Some files may be different, but if you compare the bits directly...you can sometimes see it's only a build date/time and not a real difference.
edit 1 - To try to answer some of your questions, try libsec-ril_lte.so and libsecril-client.so (and the apn stuff listed below) for signal AND bcmdhd.cal and bcm4330.hcd for wifi. For camera, I think I remember fRom being needed. For GPS, you'll want sirfgps.conf, gps.omap4.so, gps.conf, and lib_gsd4t.so from toro.
edit 2 - Ahhh, I found a post where I listed the difference between maguro and toro that I found (it may not be all inclusive, but it should give you a good start!). These were from the CM roms, so toro factory images have a couple more things like MyVerizon.apk, VerizonSSO.apk, VZWBackupAssistant.apk, and libmotricity.so (needed for VerizonSSO.apk).
Code:
\system\app\BIP.apk
\system\app\RTN.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNLib.apk
\system\app\VZWAPNService.apk
\system\etc\gps.conf
\system\etc\permissions\android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.vzwapnlib.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.lte.xml
\system\etc\permissions\com.vzw.hardware.ehrpd.xml
\system\etc\wifi\bcmdhd.cal
\system\etc\apns-conf.xml
\system\etc\NOTICE.html.gz
\system\lib\hw\gps.omap4.so
\system\lib\lib_gsd4t.so
\system\vendor\etc\sirfgps.conf
\system\vendor\firmware\bcm4330.hcd
\system\vendor\lib\libsec-ril_lte.so
Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I do have one more question. How is a power menu (hold power button to get reboot, recovery, hotboot, etc..) added to a rom?

You have to modify the android policy jar in framework from code. There is a modded jar in the apps and themes forum, or you could try and lift the file or of your favorite custom ROM, like cyanogenmod.

Glad to see you have some initiative! If you want the .smali edits for the advanced power menu, I have attached a .zip containing the comparison of the mod for my 4.2.1 stock AOSP rom. You need to add the 3 GlobalActions$11xx.smali files (in the attached .zip) to \smali\com\android\internal\policy\impl when you decompile your android.policy.jar with apktool. The 2 .pdf's show the smali edits to the 2 files that need modified. There are just a few lines added/changed. The changes for GlobalActions.smali are on page 19 of the .pdf. If you need a working apktool for 4.2.1, you can get one the I compiled using paulobrein's patch HERE.
I'm glad to see people helping a fellow who whats to turn user-to-dev.

These are great! :highfive:
Quite some time since I last tried my hands on apk modding...will try now and post up :silly:
I found those for cm10.1 but there want a lot of editing and im pretty boring to do them..they are easy thought exept if your trying to edit a lot of custom rom like slim like me that having alot of extra code!!it will be easier on pure cm10.1
I am gonna try it on the latest Paranoid Android Alpha..
Setting up my dev tools again
Would be nice to have them as flashable zip

I don't think there are major changes in framework since then..it should work
It will take me some time coz I am going back to development after an year and my last droid was kinda different from a Nexus
Lot has changed since then, new fancy tools and all
I will try my best and report back ASAP

^^ what this poster said
Status update:
So, I spent past couple of hours trying to port the recent apps mod to the PA and CM but it didn't work out :crying:
I was able to do the changes and compile the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but when I flash the zip, the SystemUI just keeps crashing on the boot..
"SystemUI has stopped working."
I was using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187184
Well, this guide has some problems..
It says:
/res/layout-port/status_bar_recent_item.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no such folder "layout-port" in res..
Then I checked OPs mod which he supposedly created using the same guide...I decompiled his SystemUI.apk but guess what...there wan't any "layout-port" either...
Then I thought that I should change that in the "layout" folder itself...(and later I found out that the OP has done the same)
But still..no gain Force Closes everytime
There was one more problem that there wasn't any id "android:id="@id/recents_clear" in the ids.xml..but I solved that problem.
I can upload the zip which force closes if anyone wants to test stuff too

1. Yep, it is CM10 guide and the person who wrote this used the same to apply mod on CM10.1...
2. Yep I know it's portrait that's why I have mentioned that I already tried changing in the single folder...
I then tried to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241739
Still SystemUI crashed..which means that something's wrong in the compilation method...I was using Virtous Studio

The think is that in layout and layout_land you need to remove the whole code and paste his...the thing is that if you compare the 2 codes you can see that alot of change in recents code but you remove alot of code existing..im pretty sure thats causing the FC's i try with a guide for 10.1 and i still have this problem...systemui refuse to load even when the phone reboots properly..so maybe if we exclude the fact that we can copy and paste...the code there is old and cm has added a lot of stuff in it after that...so we need someone who knows to check the code and apply it to a newest version of cm...
and remember those guides are for cm if your trying to do it on a PA or SLIM or anyother heavy tweaked rom you will mess a hell lot more things!
