Just go read nearly all the general stuff toppic is what i do when i have a new phone. Today i got a second gio that needs fixing and a update.. For fun i start with the general toppic. Than i progress the other thopic's. Put some time in it to understand stuff.
See if you can backup the phone system and root the phone. Next a new recovery and a new rom. The info is all in this part of the gio forum.
thanks but I wanted to ask about making rom's from source I already have root,cwm recovery and a custom rom. I just want to know what shoud I do to understad how to make rom's from sorce.But still thanks.

building a rom from source is simple
you only need to setup the source directorys and sync some stuff the let the automated compile progress hapen and done
everyone can do this
but modifying java and xml
c++ c etc
is mostly on source
if you take like stock rom and smali modify its gonna be bit harder because of no source
but alsomore fun

i dont get why do rom devs choose older firmwares as their base rather than thexlatiest one available at the time they decided to make a rom? even compleatly new roms use old firmwares.....
lol misspelled question -.-

It depends on the dev. Devs like pratyush dont own this phone so they make a rom with whatever stock rom they get. The dev of hybrid uses latest firmwares because he owns that phone. But there are also some devs who used the cooked roms as their base, modify them and upload it for example evanlocked

Any developer for this?

I read about a nice tut for porting JoyOS and LewaOS, but the probleme here is to have a good baserom.
Preferable Cyanogenmod. But my CM build wont boot last time I tried it, so I have no base to try it. By the way I'm not thinking about myself as an android developer, so maybe some other guy knows more about it or can do it with another base.
Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible to port sense ui from htc to xperia s.
I've read many threads about porting and also porting sense. Found this guide on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707177
But i had some issues. I tried CM9.1 as Base and one v rom as port rom (extracted ruu and copyed over some folders)
-> didn't boot... i had no problems while flashing... but then there just came a stock android bootscreen logo but nothing happend.
I wasn't sure about which device would fit the best for porting and how to get started the best.
Would be nice to get some help!
Thanks!
You want only the UI or the whole Sense?
Full sense!
I know its hard to do it but i really like sense!
And i think its worth it

Indeed it is really hard. You'd have to get a dev that would want to have such a big job...
Which devs do we have for xperia s?
And who would do this?^^
Do you have xperience with porting Roms?

There aren't many, mostly none wants to do it and I don't have experience. I can't badly change a png myself without my phone almost exploding.

Thats Bad/ sad.
I know sense is very complex
I would try to do it myself for the beginning but i dont have much experience.. all i need would be some information on how to get started and which device would make 'sense' to port sense from.
But i also know i can't do it alone. Sadly I dont have the knowledge.

I think the Sensation HD would be a good choice. I don't know if it has the latest Sense, but it is the closest HTC device to ours (basically, it is the same thing with different design and UI)
Alright..
For porting, do i have to use a stock Rom or can i also try to port a custom Rom of the HTC sensation or would that make it harder?
And if i use a stock Rom, do i have to extract the Rom from a ruu or are there other ways to get stock Rom?

I think any custom Sense should do.
Sorry, don't know anymore
Would be amazing to make this possible !
Okay but thanks

you could just google for "htc sensation hd stock rom", there are so many sources serving the stock roms.
Of this is really that simple everyone would do it,but unfortunatly it's not :/
I know that there are many sources but i've never seen a stock rom as zip file .
You always have to download ruu and then extract firmware and kernel files..
But at least it is not the Problem to get a stock Rom

I think i can help you here
If you were stuck at bootscreen, then replace the android_servers.so in system/lib of the ported rom with the android_servers.so file of original rom(i.e. rom made for xperia s)
Let me know if its working or not and if possible can you send me a link of your ported rom..

I can help with testing, as long as you send me it after December 11th.

Firstly, This should go in the questions sub forum, that's what its there for. Secondly, FXP has a working build for the Xperia Play. So you could use there ROM as a base. Compile everything normally and CM10 should and when you build your ROM should work with CM10 ROMs. If not, you either heavily modified the ROM and you most likely will need a custom ROM(Unlikley) or you made a mistake. Reply if you need links to the got source. Happy building! :beer:

Oh OK! Didn't see the .1. Yes get it from source and try to port? You might have to make some kernel adjustments. I recommend trying to port a similar device or ROM using 4.2. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Glad to see someone actually noticed 4.2

Seems that with the actual sources they put on github you can't achieve that,we need either fxp to push their source or to debug it ourselves, I just made a build this morning but it doesn't go past the kernel logo, and can't seem to be able to logcat, the strange thing is that adb doesn't recognize the phone but I was able to use flashtool to reboot it in flashmode via adb, any suggestions?

You may be able to port the Arc release while using a 4.1.2 kernel.

You need to make sure you use roms from same resolution mobiles and both are armv7( xperia play is armv7). Also make sure to edit the right files and build prop correctly.
