[HELP]Getting ICS like task switcher to work with CM 7.2

Hi guys,
Yesterday I came across this which amazed me and forced me to try it for our wildfire.But as I am a noob,I failed to get it to work.Sometimes I got errors while compiling and when I successfully compiled framework-res.apk,I got stuck in a bootloop.
That guide is for samsung galaxy Y,HERE is the guide for other devices.
I was wondering if someone could step in try to get it to work for us?
It would be a great mod for us to have on GB roms,to make it look more like ICS.
I'm attaching stock xml files which need to be edited,just in case.

Some questions regarding updating my device via source code of old android version

Hi all, I am trying to update my device GT-S7562 (galaxy s duos).
I have rooted it, downloaded android sdk (and latest system images via sdk manager).
I also downloaded the source code (GT-S7562_ICS_Opensource_Update1.zip) from opensource . samsung . com.
I also have (android-ndk-r7-linux-x86.tar.bz2) ...
I just want to update the device to 4.3 (from 4.0.4) .. and I am too confused right now.
Please help..
Another things.
1)this site www . sammobile . com /firmwares/ has many firmwares for my mobile. I already downloaded the source from opensource . samsung . com . Are they different from what I have? Do I need them. Also if I need, there are many files for my country(india). How do I know which one I should use.
2) is stock recovery sufficient when I build the update or I have to use CWM.
Thanks in advance.:cyclops:

It is possible to root this phone via chimera tool... I tried it, but unfortunately the program won't launch on my computer because of some stupid virus... Right now i am trying to port a rom for it.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13 for T211

Well, I'm here again. I create this thread for better manager with both CM12.1 and 13. I need to hear many devs here and not devs.
The first question is, you think is possible to build CM12.1 for T211 ?
The second question, What the error you got when you try to build it ?
In my opinion is possible, but very hard, I don't try yet for 2 reason: First is my CPU limitation, it can't supports OS x64, (if you think I'm lie, You can check my laptop to get 100% assurance). The second reason is the new Run Time Machine ART, on lollipop and marshmallow, touchwiz on 4.4.2 is not compatible with art and obvious I will need the source code KK to build it....
If I begin to build I will need any person here can make all work on computer, I will try to help and give my best. To build cyanogenmod, we need to use x64 ubuntu.
I can't make this work alone, especially for Tab 3 T211 with the different hardware.... I need a help.
I don't put the T210, because I don't have this device. So I can make rom with total stability.... but I think is not to hard if I made CM12.1 for T211 to port it on T210, the difference between is call parts....
I think it is good idea that all will work together on the development for this Device.
But without gr8nole s help we will have no chance ,he has stoped the work on CM11 .

How to port Oreo 8.1 ROMs?

I have a Moto Z Play and I want to port some ROMs from Redmi Note 4 which is having the same SoC. The problems I'm getting are:-
1. Device not booting after flashing rom, something is wrong with boot.img porting, there is no updated guide on how to port oreo boot.img, porting with other methods doesn't seem to work.
2. Brotli files can be extracted with a number of steps but the problem is with repacking, I didn't find any guide on how to do this. At last, I just kept the system.new.dat as it as and changed updater-script with the same name but it didn't work and I got "Error 7" in twrp all the time. Is there any way to get back to the conventional way of having a "system" folder in rom zip?
3. In all previous version of Android we need to replace some system files but I didn't find any help for oreo.
If anyone knows how to port roms for oreo please let me know. At some point, after trying too hard I thought it's better to compile one but that requires a fast internet and an 8 core system at least, porting is the only thing I can do using my laptop.
