ROM Porting Rules for Xperia Play - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.. I want to start porting some ROMS for our Xperia PLay
can anyone please let me know what rules do I need to follow..
I mean.. can we only port from armv6 to armv6 or armv7 also ??
can we port HTC One 4.1.2 to Xperia Play ?? Can we take the AOKP or CM10 as our base ROM .. and all other info that you may help me with.. thanks alot

Well we have a Qualcomm snapdragon s2 processor I believe its a msm8255 and adreno 205, so with that in mind the best bet on porting would be from devices with these specs and also same screen resolution.....and well if you wanna go from scratch and build a ROM then yea any ROM that is open source you can build from ( I.e. cyanogen mod, aokp, slim bean etc) I also believe our CPU architecture is armv7 and I do not believe that it is backwards compatible to armv6 and the HTC one has a Qualcomm snapdragon 600 processor with adreno 320 GPU so unless you plan to do ALOT of moding to a ROM from it I doubt your going to get it to boot

we need to find devices that have the same cpu at least for porting a rom
and gou is very important too

and its possible to port armv6 roms to armv7.

galaxy s+ has the nearest specs

Xperia Play have Snapdragon S2 SOC. You can check on wikipedia wich devices have similar hardware (look under MSM8255).

I don't know if galaxy s will work because its REALLY IMPORTANT screen resolution is the same of that the device your porting from has a bigger screen resolution.

[REQUEST FOR DEV] Fast browsing on a i9000

Hi everyone
I saw how the Xperia 2011 are ultra fast at SunSpider (3141 ms for Xperia Ray at 1 GHz). Our galaxy S(not overclocked) reach 5600-5700 and 4000 at 1.4 ghz. After my first test, it is not possible to use the library on Ray Xperia Galaxy S (I expected, but we can always dream). I therefore appeal to you to change the library of Xperia and port on the Galaxy S (and maybe other phones). I will put online library of galaxy S version JVU and the library of Xperia Ray.
Sorry for my English i'm french...
So what is your request - to "port" this libs over to our phone to (maybe) reach a higher score at browsing?
I don't understand your point (I understand it but what's the effort?)

[Q] Is Tegra 3 as well support by CM as OMAP?

I want to buy a phone that has proper CM10.1 support. The SGS2 Exynos chip has very poor support and CM does not even want to develop it anymore because of Samsung's lack of support. CM10.1 is very laggy. The OMAP version on the other hand is well supported by CM10.1.
Is the Tegra 3 the same as the Exynos or is it well supported?

Calling developers to Port Jb/kk/lp to s duos

S Duos 3 is released . Our s duos has fair hardware but it does not have any latest Android os . It's still running on the laggy ICS which is almost outdated . We had some kk port attempts but none of it was good (buggy versions ) . I created this thread to wake up every one to make it possible. Now I am calling all developers for doing this . If we can make an open source base rom , then it's better for each developers to mod it and rebrand to their own names . But it is possible only if have a strong base . Anyway I am gonna mention some developers who did already given contributions to s duos .
@cheatman
@Mohitash @husen4u @SilverDragon24
@abhi922 @gkostas @v_superuser
@charles1111
I know I missed some of them . But they're also welcomed to make a port .

Let me tell u that CM11(KK) is there for the S7562. The stuff that don't work on it are Camera, Bluetooth and Cell Signalling.

I know that . But , that project is completely abandoned now . That's why I am bringing the devs here .

Lets have a look at the specs of the S7562
CPU: 1 GHz Single Core
RAM: 768 MB
Usable Memory: about 1.8 GB
Price: 16k INR
Now lets look at the Moto E
CPU: 1.2 Ghz Dual Core
RAM: 1 GB
Usable Memory: 2.3 GB
Price: 7k INR
Now do you see why the phone the S7562 CM project was abandoned?

Google says KitKat will work on lower end devices (especially 512 mb ram ) .
Have a look at this too..
Celkon a35k campus
Ram : 256
ROM : 512
It is also on 4.4.2
http://m.gsmarena.com/celkon_a35k-6451.php
Anyway , I am pretty sure that s duos has the minimum requirements compared to other devices .

I know it does but we have more advanced devices at affordable prices..... Things start becoming obsolete in these situations.

Noo . I don't think so ..
If everyone can buy new devices for getting new softwares or os , then please tell me what is the need of XDA and those of respected developers? Still no one can buy new android devices weakly to get updated
We can no more change the hardwares , then why can't we think about changing the software?
( i saw that in your sig. you are using your SilverNexus rom and CM11 at the same time . It shows how much you like it ).
Anyway I am going to continue my works ... It is very bad to see devs are not interested
Its not about software, its about hardware. ant by the way I use my S Duos as an MP3 Player with CM11 and like an old nokia phone just for calling and sms on SilverNexus.

Is possible to port worse TW lollipop to S4 Mini ?

Samsung says memory limitations. hmm, why a3 2015 has lollipop ? A3 HAS 1GB RAM. 2 cores not has problems to run lollipop.
Why I'm say worse ? Samsung's all devices, only S4 mini and s3 neo has Snapgragon 400. but s3 neo has 720p display, s4 mini has 540p display.
Yea, great developer edit s3 neo lollipop port rom to had compatible qHD display. but s3 neo has cortex a7, s4 mini has krait 300
But I don't know who is succesfully ported 5.1 to s3 neo. note 3 neo has 720p but has exynos ???
Next device is A3 2015 but it has 64-bit cpu. blablabla...
Possible ?

i'm unable to understand devs here in s4 mini section , they dont even try , and not even respond when its about it !
there must be a way to do it , do you know any turo on how to port lollipop to kitkat devices ?
Maybe the only way to do that will be creating from cm sources with an existing ROM with another skin. Time ago, when I got my galaxy ace I tried a ROM that was a jellybean port, that was far from TW 2.X look and feel.

the system of the Samsung TouchWiz and wonderful it would be really nice if by cm code could pull off a 6.0 tw must recreate a kernel using cm code and the operative part of a s5 32bit taking just enough like the Samsung app panel tiles the dialer contacts the settings panel the music player and the gallery would be fantastic removing the fingerprint sensor and all the other things that a stock s4 not has a beautiful rom would come and certainly turned better than KitKat well optimized with marshmallow

you can not take the base of s5 and developing an area compatible with our new cyanogen mod comes out when you do not take the google code and spread to most of the devices can not do the same with TouchWiz from a new kernel
