[Aosp]How To Port For Dummies - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Here is a quick guide that is PRETTY reliable by ET4G
-------------------------------
This for now is for aosp/ maybe touchwiz.......
-------------------------------
First things first
Find a Base From and The From you want to port......
----------------------------
Make sure these devices are extremely similar or else you have to do framework edits/resizing and other stuff
So if you want to port use something close for the epic
Like international sgs2
------------------------------
Next.....
Go into system of from you plan to port......
And take the
System/apps
System/framework
System/fonts
And system/media
And replace the same files in the base from for those......
SO AGAIN MOVE THOSE FILES FROM PORT TO THE BASE
----------------------------
Next .......
Go into xbin and replace su
----------------------------
Next.......
Go into libs and replace
libandroid_runtime.so
*****Also make sure you dont mismatch your libraries....easiest way to make an unstable rom(they must be built to match eachother)****
----------------------------
After that......
Go into build prop with Linux or windows if using windows get the program notepad++
Change the
ro.build.id
ro.build.display.id
ro. build.incremental
All to that of the port....
-----------------------------
Now go into updater script in
Meta-inf/Google/android
Nothing really has to be changed for now.......
If you would like to make it fancy
U can go into notepad++
And edit it
For example
Add a line in front of the first and type
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Whatever you want");
ui_print("");
ui_print("like your username");
ui_print("");
ui_print("info on the rom");
ui_print("");
ui_print("whatever");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
Just make sure you don't write anywhere you want or replace something..........
Will result in status 6 or 7 error in cwm
--------------------------
Now zip up that file and flash.......
If the phone doesn't go past boot animation
Connect to PC while in animation
.......
Make sure you have adb and type
adb logcat d> logcat.txt
And a txt file will save to where sdk is located
-------------------------
If it says there is a lib missing in Debug
Just replace FROM PORTED AS WELL.....
--------------------------
And your good to go
-------------------------
Guys I'm open to questions Just Ask
PM or In this Thread

Mismatching libraries is the number one way to make an unstable ROM.
Always make sure your libraries are built to match each other.

No changes to kernel? Would i used a kernel for this device and i should be fine?

Would it be possible to port a SGS3 Touchwiz ROM? I would love to give that a try.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

hey guys
1. the base kernel should be fine
you shouldnt have to edit the ramdisk in aosp ports
2. this is a porting guide for aosp
Touchwiz maybe different porting steps but its always worth a try be careful

[BOOTANIMATION][14.05.2011] TechBoot v1.0 | Simple and Clean!

Simple and Clean Technical Bootanimation
I was getting sick and tired of the default "S", so I created a new bootanimation with a clean and simple concept while still stylish and technical. I call it "TechBoot" and I wanted to share it with the community.
Information about the animation:
I used several different programs to create the animation. For graphics and mock-ups the program used was Adobe Photoshop. For motion and effects I used Adobe After Effects. These programs made it easy to compose a High Quality animation. The bootanimations are in a zip archive format and are compatible with any kernel that supports "bootanimation.zip".
*Feedback is much appreciated and suggestions to future releases will be met by gratitude.
Changelog:
Version 1.0 | [14.05.2011]
Initial Release
Two variations
Three resolutions for the first variation
Only "bootanimation.zip" supplied
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
I take no responsibility for anything that you do to your phone!
Method 1: (Recommended)
Download any "bootanimation.zip"
Move zip to sdcard
Enter any rooted file manager (ex. Root Explorer)
Navigate either to "/system/media", "/data/local" or kernel specific bootanimation location
Backup any previous "bootanimation.zip"
Navigate to downloaded "bootanimation.zip"
Copy to either "/system/media", "/data/local" or kernel specific bootanimation location (might need to be remounted RW)

They ate just PNG images. Either convert video into frames or create your own animation. After effects is good.

Do u know if its a universal script or meant for evo or meant for a different phone. Pretty much which forum did u get it from. Cause from the looks of it u don't have the directories that its looking for.
Also some scripts don't get rum by the user. It gets put in init.d folder and runs on its own at boot.

DEV help needed boot.img/assert failed

hi guys,
im running into problems.
after using kitchen and signing my rom etc, I try to flash it but it says:
Code:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot" android
I saw many people have this problem, and some say coverting to edify works.
however edify is not supported by newer recoveries.
any devs faced this problem and know how to fix??
Nope. Never had this problem. Just download Phiexz's or Delanoiter's kernel and look at the updater-script. Just copy the boot.img part

Yes you can still use your boot.img
In the updater-script look for the process where it's flash the kernel / boot.img

Yes you need Notepad++.
Select all your text and go to Edit > EOL Conversion > UNIX Format
And if you want to see the hidden format look at the picture below. It should say LF for UNIX and CR LF for Windows

You can erase unneeded spaces if you want to but it's not necessary.

Hmmm... I really don't use kitchen that much because it's really annoying getting the Rom to boot up. Plus it's not specifically for Gio. So I don't know lol

Q: After flashing font my status bar have problems what should I do?
A: Flash the same font again and format cache.
If you guys want new fonts just pm me the new font and I will add it.
Nice work!
And if i want back the original fonts I would have to reflash my current rom without wiping right?
Nicely done!

Thanks man for helping me out to get this working on the One XL. Really appreciate your help.
Can you do this for me? Beware that the attached one is mainly Arabic with the default English in it.

Could you please add the F04 Hero Light font (from UOT Kitchen)?

Sorry for my question, but this has to be installed from recovery?? and how can i choose the font that i want to flash???

Not working on the newest viper rom for the Rez. Says installed successfully but no change.
Rocking my Rez on TapaTalk
For those who have tried to use it on JB but couldn't get it to work, here's the fix:
Just extract the installer, replace Line 1 (mount system partition) in updater-script with the one found in the updater-script of a flashable compatible with your ROM. I used the below with my Galaxy Nexus but yours might read differently so be careful otherwise it won't work.
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/system");
and add:
Code:
unmount("/system");
to the end of the script, and re-zip the installer. That's all.
For those who want to use JB fonts, just extract them from /system/fonts of a JB ROM and overwrite the content of the /fonts/Roboto folder and re-zip. I'm too lazy to see if I could add a new one w/o de-compiling Aroma so consider it a workaround instead.
thanks
thank you

Files will be downloaded to /mnt/sdcard/download folder. You need to rename them to bootanimation.zip (if required) and copy it to /data/local ...then it shows up on boot.
