Ok so.... Im attempting to port my 1st "successful" Rom(previous failed attempts dont count) ,but Im having trouble editing build.prop and making the updater-script. Im more concerned about the build.prop to get Rom to boot. I was able to use APKManager/tools Windows kit to automatically create update-script and convert to updater-script as needed for CWM Recovery, but still need help with build.prop. As the guide from XDA member "Peteragent" says that Sony Ericsson users must use common sense when editing build.prop, which I apparently do not have.lol. Im using This guide here. I am trying a Gingerbread Rom as practice and not to post until I choose new roms. I will upload both the port and base's build.props if anyone is kind enough to explain what to change and help me to get Rom to boot. This is both build.propsHERE. Thanks so much in advance:victory:
Well you don't need to edit anything, pick build.prop of any ROM & test.
Feel free to Post your Port

So should I just use Logcat to fix any build.prop?

can anyone tell me how to add this to any rom ? i have seen these options in quite a few roms, but don't know what i need to be able to achieve this.
thanx
I'm interested as well. I saw the thread with the mod the other day before cooking my ROM and lost it. Haven't found it yet.
You can find a flashable version of it here :

in second post.
I use it in almost all ROM's I test.
android.policy.jar
ah thanx guys.
btw does anyone know which and what *.smali file you need to edit to achieve the above result ? i would rather do it myself to my own classes.dex than using the virusrom one. (unless i absolutely have too)

I use HTC Android kitchen and cygwin

i dont know about update script. plsssss HELPPP
U have to make a thread in general sec
Use CWM or another updater-script.
this question is about developing a new rom. IMO its ok to post here.
@dineshlives: did you use dsixdia kitchen? if yes, you should modify the script. the script generated by dsixdia doesn't work for SGY. if you only have minor modification (without custom kernel or a2sd) you may check hybrid's or myss's script. if you use custom kernel or a2sd. you may see bazz's, or repencis's. those two last is harder to use and may not work. but both hybrid's or myss's works fine without any modification as long as you don't touch /system/bin and /system/xbin.
HELP

What you have to do (keeping in mind that you are new) is take boot.img of some other rom.

1. kernel. use the one from cm7 for a rom based on cm7, a custom kernel for stock roms for a stock based rom
2 build.prop edit any device names to gt-s5660 except the fingerprint parse release..... copy and paste that piece into the build.prop from a gio rom, its also in the guide
3 change updaterscripts asserts device checking, format and mount values and delete permissions that dont excist
4 dont do this if you dont know how to port.
5 never post any rom before testing yourself. we dont want devices getting bricked by stupid people that call themselve a developer

The problem with this is, he was following a tutorial to learn how to port
Anyway, I think Voetbalremco covered everything. Try to start with port from ace or something, those are prolly the most easy to port.
Also, you can always port a rom which has been ported before. That way you can compare your own port with the working port and check if you're doing it right.

porting from ace is nothing, just copy some folders and editing a bit of "text" files..

Thats why its easy to start with
if that goes wrong already, you know you arent ready for porting yet
also, that whole tutorial is based on copying/pasting and editing "text"files
Yep, most important: test by yourself, and ask it when u don't understand something, that's how you learn the most

All ports need to be either edited framework to match your Device or replaced framework to match your Device.
When you have done this, you can call it a Pure Port.

hello all,
I want to make my own custom rom based on the stock 2.3.6.
I've read some tutorials about that but I don't get any informations on how to get a base to work with (a flashable zip with all the rom's files?).
So do I have to flash a original rom to my gio and then backup all the files with some software or something else?
I can try to compile it if it's really necessary but I would be glad if I can avoid it.
I don't want to start with a existing all customised rom like enhanced236, I would like to start from a fresh and clean rom and then share it with the gio communty.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I found something about dsixda.
I'm on the right track?
thanks.
on the right track, but just a note: dsixdsa kitchen is made for HTC, and its a tool, you wont really learn much from it, and it may not be fully compitable
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
If you don't want to build from source your gonna have to know how to edit apks n Smali. Your gonna need apktool, smali, & baksmali.
If you want base it off the stock rom just flash the stock rom n make a backup in recovery. You'll need the system folder from that backup.

Can some one explain me clearely how to get a flashable stock rom zip or give me a link to some good tutorial working for the Gio?
sorry but I can't find something clear about all that.
I've spent a day trying to figure out how to do that but I was not able to make a single working zip
dsixda clearly doesn't work for the gio or I'm missing something.
I only need someone to put me on good track to start. I'm only loosing time trying and testing a lot of not so complete tutorial.
thanks a lot

Why do you need to zip align every time.Need to zipalign an app only once.
anyways here is the script.
Unzip it and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it executable permissions. Look at the permissions of the other script and make this one the same.
For V6 supercharge ... look into the V6 supercharg post for guide.
There are lots of ROM creating Guides. Just search in XDA forums and you will get plenty.
What you dont understand is that its not so simple to follow a guide to make your own rom, because then its not really yours. Start off with getting someones else's rom and doing little mods to it. Just think: what would make the rom better? Say for example yopu might do some speed improvements, then maybe beats audio, then maybe some android 4.2 apps, etc. Once you have enough new things then you can make your own thread.
PS: googling stuff always helps

Then what are stock based roms? Look at UHD, sparta charge, x gamer, acroniam, jelly sandwhich. They're just stock that's been modded, tweaked and rooted.
But they´re still defferent to a stock rom with some mods of the modding section.
U cant pick 5 mods and call it a new custom rom.
Check out the ROM "cyano bean" its a entirely different ROM to cm10 yet look at my quote:

Hi, this is a ROM heavily based on the work of FXP
I wanted to share the ROM I put together for my own personal use (so I didn't have to flash lots of individual things) and wanted to share it with the community, as it is a very fast ROM (no thanks to me)
So to start with I am no developer, I have not made any of the things included in this ROM apart from adding a few tweaks to the build.prop
I merely compiled lots of different things and put them into this in the hope people in the community will enjoy

Thanks for the zip align! Though doesn't it require a file in system -> bin?
