I tried copying the files over manually on m-deejays clockworkmod Gingerbread using Root Explorer. Now any GPS test or GPS status app I try just force closes

Specify the directory?

[REQ] can anyone port this wp7 rom to wildfire

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458227
the above link is from galaxy ace.....
i think most of us think 2 try wp7......
so plzz if anyone can help......

This ROM isn't WP7, it's just "themed" and by themed I mean it has apps that look like WP7 installed.
Just download the ROM and extract the .apk files that have something to do with the WP7 looks and install them?

i saw a similar version for the galaxy mini which is themed as well but may aswell try it or fun

i know that it is just themed but i don't know how to port a rom...
and how to make changes in framework...

[GUIDE]Port Nexus s roms to sgs devices

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 expand...
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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..

[Q] Difference Between Toro/Maguro Roms

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.

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\lib\lib_gsd4t.so
\system\vendor\etc\sirfgps.conf
\system\vendor\firmware\bcm4330.hcd

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.
