[Guide] GSM To CDMA Rom Conversion

Extract the following files from a compatible CDMA Rom (meaning if your gsm rom is ICS,use files from a version of ICS that does exist on the CDMA side..Jellybean,etc)
Open the gsm rom you wish to convert in winrar and navigate to each folder listed below and drag the file listed into the folder listed. be sure to delete its counterpart example: sensors.primou.so will be deleted,sensors.primoc.so will be dragged into rom. when prompted by winrar for compression method,select store. and let it add the file to the rom.
in system/lib/hw copy:
sensors.primoc.so
in system/etc/permissions copy:
android.hardware.sensor.proximity
android.hardware.sensor.light
android.hardware.sensor.acceletometer
in system/bin copy:
sensorservice
now the above will take care of sensors that use auto rotate,etc..
now to fix mms/sms
sense based roms usually have a file in framwork-res.apk called apns.xml,its in the xml folder within framework-res.apk. Copy the file from any stock rom or cdma rom that has the proper apns.xml you need into the gsm based rom you want mms/sms to work in. I use winrar to open the framework-res and simply navigate to xml and drag the file in and select store as option for compression.
now the mms/sms fix will usually be a little different in slim,cyanogen,asop,aokp type roms..but sometimes it isnt. only way to know is check. if the apns.xml isnt in framework-res or if it is and it does not contain the appropriate settings,check system/etc in rom for a file called apns-conf.xml and replace it with one from any cdma rom that is available that matches your rom..example would be my slim conversion. i used the apns-conf.xml from aokp because slim gsm and aokp are both 4.1.2 roms. just drag it into rom with winrar using the store compression setting. sometimes,but not always you can use some of these files on roms not of the same type like for instance 4.2.2 roms MAY..may..work with some files from 4.1.2,etc..its a trial and error kind of thing. try them out and see how it boots.
edit build.prop and change default network type to 4 instead of 0(there are other changes you can make to build.prop but i cant tell whether or not they have any effect so i will skip those).
you may encounter roaming notifications in some roms you are trying to convert. i tried two miui roms that are 4.1.2 based and encountered the roaming icon in status bar even though i had working connections..couldnt figure out how to get rid of the roaming indicator. also of note,after getting the rom up and running you may see "evdo" listed as your connection in status bar. you are 3G,just that some roms call it evdo..just rename the 3G icons in systemui.apk to the names of the evdo ones and they will show as 3G again.
now for the boot.img. if you are using ics sense roms,jmz's boot.img will work,you can try out sick kernel for roms that use that on the cdma side or any other kernel on the cdma side that will match the rom you are trying to use. for instance..slim gsm to cdma uses the aokp kernel from the cdma side. be sure to add the system/lib/modules files to the rom and if the rom does not even have a modules directory,add it with appropriate files from your kernel. if you plan on sharing the newly converted rom with the public be sure to get proper permissions from all those you used source material from.
i know its not a perfect guide and rough around the edges but should get you running.

Do you think this will work the other way around?

Yes. Change the telephony line from 4 to 0 though.
Curtis, Roaming Indicator is Eri.xml in framework. Use it from a Cyanogenmod rom.

What wouldn't be working that usually does?

Well,in the case of what new info CuriousNoob gave about the eri.xml it would either be a data disconnected issue with roaming turned on even though all changes for cdma network had been applied (minus the missing eri.xml) or data working but roaming still showing as being active.

Has anyone been able to successfully convert a gsm ROM to CDMA?
If so, I am going to start on the Miui ROM for my RAZR.

PA2.9 was converted from GSM to CDMA AFAIK

I want to thank you for this guide. I've been noticing development for the cdma version of this phone has dropped off. But I'm noticing allot of roms for the gsm version. Gonna have to give this a try. Just something else phone related to piss the wife off.

lol dont pee her off to much... know where that leads... ye olde dog house!! lol. but back on topic...with some of the newer gsm roms,this guide will get you booted,mms,sms working but may need to consult with rom developer on getting your data service operating correctly even though you have properly set it in build.prop,it doesnt always work right..youll notice it being detected in rom ok but say disconnected. i need to revise this with a work around for those issues because the newer 4.1.2 gsm roms do not have module support..so even if you add the modules it just doesnt use them.

They're in kernel ramdisk for HELLBOY. It depends on where the kernel looks for them (I think).

Is this porting tutorial specific to the one V or just general gsm to cdma? I want to see ifi can do it on a sprint One rom

In general, if you have two devices that are the same with one on gsm and one on cdma,it should work fine. Its just a matter of adding appropriate changes to the rom to suit your network and use appropriate boot method specific to your device. But as with anything I suspect there might be minor device specific differences that you will have to work out for your particular device.

In porting slim CDMA back to gsm, I noticed that i had no LED fit notifications. After checking in /system/lib/hw i noticed that lights.primoc.so was there. I replaced that file with lights.primou.so from the gsm ROM and, after a reboot, i had my light back.

I used to just rename them. I don't think that worked though xD

If you did that for your re-port, then it does work.

I think I just used the ones from CM but I don't remember.

I know it's not going to be the exact same procedure but is it possible that these steps could be used to port a custom rom from another HTC phone to work on the one v? They would both be cdma roms.

So I have spent some time looking around seeing if it was possible to put a phone from boost (GSM) onto the verizon nerwork (CDMA), and I keep seeing the same thing.
They all say "impossible" or something along those lines.
Yet, if I am understanding this correctly, by following these steps I could in fact do the impossible, and enable a phone to work on a Verizon-like network?
Just asking because I want to do this to either an S3 or an S4.

[ROM][D802][5.0.2][V39A] Thank You Verizon

BEWARE: This is only for D802!
In short: extra softkeys, nice messasing (bigger text box and floating circle - contacts app has floating circle too) and music app, no lagg i.e. on YouTube like rest of LP ROMs, and of course wireless storage. Verizon gave the perfect update.
So, this is a D802 ROM fully based on V39A, which is Verizon's stock 5.0.2 firmware.
Instructions:
Recommed to use latest TWRP by blastagator
Do a full wipe
Flash ROM zip (DONT reboot phone yet): Mega - ROM
Flash signal fix right after flashing the ROM, THEN REBOOT AFTER FLASHING THIS: Mega - Signal fix
After first reboot, finish startup wizard, reboot back into recovery and flash fix for proper baseband, correct D802 info and possibly better connectivity: Mega - Fix V2
Reboot.
Add-on (optional): LG Backup (seems Verizon does not have this app installed by default) Mega - LG Backup
How to enter TWRP recovery (thanks to @marek_poland):
Power off. Press and hold vol- and power button until LG logo appears. Then release and press and hold vol+ and vol- until reset screen shows up. Press yes twice and you enter TWRP.
I have no mobile data?!
Set APN manually in settings.
I get a weird sim card icon status bar?!
Try flashing the modem from post #16.
My rear led stays on forever when I enable notification led
Either disable notification led or flash Xceed kernel. Note: flashing any other D802 will remove the floating pop up circle in messages, contacts & music app.

Reserved.

The Verizon model is supports all bands since it is a worldwide phone. There is a Official Lollipop 39A flashable version and several others (stock extreme, stock minimal, etc) over in the Verizon Dev thread.
I am NOT suggesting you flash it, but giving some info. I think techinically it will work though.

is Dori's LP kernel compatible with the verizon roms?

Vz roms have Vz Kernels, so if we flash it in D802, won't it give Bootloops?

Dont just flash stuff, you'll definetly end up in bootloop if not bricking your phone!
Either tonight or tomorrow I can try to upload this D802 ready ROM. But it will be for D802 only.
Update: After I started the upload process I remembered I forgot a few files. Did not want to re-upload so I made a small flashable zip containing those files. You will have to flash the ROM and then another zip right after. Flash both zips right after each other, don't reboot phone in-between flashes. Consider this your warning.
Update2: Everything added to OP. Maybe I will get this thread moved to D802 development section later. But I'm done for now. Enjoy.

Dorimanx lolipop kernel supported?

I am using LG G2 32 GB D 802 with Cloudy 2.2. Currenly installed this rom + Dorinmax 2.2 .Everything working perfectly.
P.S Found only problem with signal.Not weak signal.Just dropping and come again.

@Mvalev95 try to logcat the problem, perhaps we just need to replace some libraries to fix the issue, I see the awesome wireless storage button I wonder why International doesn't have all these stuff.
Hmm I see a signal fix for the rom hope that is for the signal drops but I'll check it out later,
Thankyou for the rom port

Fixed it. Flashed LPBaseBand d80230e. Here a LP Base Band D80230e

Nice that you have found the solution to the problem. I am going to miss the kitkat dropdown menu again from Og3 but I'll make a backup and test the rom.
And the OP can definitely ask an moderator to move this to the d802 forum as this stock rom is an port from the Verizon V39A to the d802 and also to prevent some "newbies/rookies" who don't read to flash it.
But ofcourse it can only be moved IF the work is from the OP and if there are proper credits in the OP
I just wonder how why are there also L01F mentions in the vs980 v39A Rom?

Cannot get through start wizard, after language select and pressed Next pop up info "Wait for activation" and stayed here. Any idea what to do?

Nice reminder. Thanks. New fix added in OP (easier to upload a 25MB file than 1.5GB+ file).
This includes:
* As Verizon is in the US, they have US as target for connectivity. Most 30B firmware outside US targets what they name COM. So, this zip changes the target from US to COM.
* Fixed baseband showing unknown in About Phone (modem now being used is from NEU Europe 30B KDZ - you can flash any modem you'd like).
* Changed L01F to D802.
Requests are welcome but don't expect big changes. I have been using this ROM for about a month now and I only share the settings I make for myself.

Completion kernel for Stock ROM

Hello guys. in this thread Mini says:" Only way to fix Wi-Fi for stock is to merge stock source into my current kernel and I really don't want to do that.. so unfortunately users will have to stay on stock kernel for stock roms."
link to her post and thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67372709&postcount=104
anyone can do it? I (I'm sure many others as well) are ready to donate.
I tried to replace some file in the "Module" folder, as well as their entire folder, but without success.

Why do you even need to do that? Just get the Wi-Fi module from a M8 ROM and replace it with yours, you're done. Don't want to do this all, flash the zip in attachment, it will do the work.

No service after custom rom flashing help??!?!

I recently, like as of last, flashed my s6 edge plus g928T with the V.5 brx s8+ port. It works amazing no problems except one. I am having trouble getting service no internet and calls go through but no audio. I read that flashing the modem(?) will fix. I just dont know were to find the modems for my specific carrrier and phone model. If anybody could provide some insight that would be amazing.
Thanks
Alex

There may be a few causes to your issue. If the rom you installed isn't specified for the T variant, then the kernel may not have the required components for the call audio to work (I had this issue myself with a LOT of roms) In this case there isn't much you can do that I know of except try another rom. If you'd like an s8 port, I got Khongloi's to work on my G928T practically flawlessly. The rom's thread can be found here and if you need clearer instructions on how to install like I did they can be found here.

Usually caused by the boot.img i tried to use a boot.img from your version 4 and it did the same thing, i then stuffed it with the system folder from the latest firmware and it fixed just fine.... I have also noticed some roms have the boot.img in a sub folder instead of the root of the rom and notice if I copy the boot.img from the sub folder to the root of the rom it fixes this issue... and like with SMOKKIE ROM you get the red letter error on first boot that the kernel in nonpermisive I believe and in that case I just used the boot.img from my builds and the system folder of your choosing then check the prop update.script and any other associated file like .config folders etc..

S20 FE missing AOD transition animation between AOD and lock screen

Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm on the XSA CSC running December security patch (OneUI 2.5) and it does not have the animation. I've also received reports that OneUI 3.0 still doesn't have the animation for some reason (from Reddit), and it seems like a strange omission to me considering the phone has the specs to be more than capable of it. If you are not sure what I mean, check this video:
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/dz36e8
(screen recording taken from Galaxy S10 on OneUI 2.0)

Is it a bug or did they decide just not to have it?

I'm using the OneUI 3.0 and don't have the animations... Samsung is kidding us with the S20 FE?

Seems like a bug to me, it doesn't make sense that they would choose not to include it as it's a fairly small thing and a whole range of devices have it including the "budget" S10e from last year.

Thats exacly my problem too. I don't think this is a bug, because it's very noticable... this was a problem in 2.5, And I am in one ui 3, and this is Still a problem.... I don't understand samsung....

Nothing new, Samsung has removed it from a couple of "lite" (or in this case, FE) variants. It can be added with root by editing a file in vendor called floating feature. Doubt Samsung would re-add it, but who knows.
Btw, I'm talking about the Note 10 Lite, it doesn't have it by default either.

I made my own little tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-galaxy-a71-working-mods.4173295/
But to jump straight into this edit in question, it's the following:
The floating_features.xml file in question can be located in system(root)/vendor/etc
Add AOD to lockscreen clock animation:
Note: This only works on OneUI 2.5, does not work on OneUI 2.1 and below for A71.
Search for the following line in floating_features:
Code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>
Add clocktransition in this line, like this:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>aodversion=7,clearcoveroff,clocktransition</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>
Save and reboot. Done, there will be an added animation from AOD to lockscreen clock.

I've looked but so far I haven't seen that it's possible. Mainly because you can't mount system/vendor as read-write without root, even with adb. I personally don't know of a way.

Hi, I just had a thought come to me, would it be possible to modify the stock firmware file that is flashed in Odin (the AP .tar file) with the edited version of floating_feature.xml, stored in vendor.img? Would this flash successfully and maintain Knox 0x0? Or would it see the slightly modified AP file as a custom binary and thus void Knox?

Your second assessment is correct, just unpacking and repacking AP detects it as custom firmware and therefore would trip Knox.

This is a very weird thing in the sense that a Galaxy M31 (which is a very low-mid range phone) has that animation enabled and also it runs OneUI Core
