porting roms - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok im bored and google and watched video clips about porting roms...I want to learn how to but all i've found was about kitkat or older roms and the same doesnt apply...I want to try and port euphoria-os but I have no idea how to begin..I was hoping a dev could lead me to a great tutorial they would recommend...thanks...

Well first thing is....have you contacted the original dev of that ROM and asked for permission. If you consult with him/her. They might be able to guide you as you try to get that specific ROM to the M8...

ROMs being ported
---------------------------
ROMs cancelled
[ROM] Blackberry OS6 v1
Reason: unable to port (will upload file here so others can try to fix)
Ports done
--------------------------
If you like this please leave a thanks
Better not make this useless ......
Port a rom you want, and share with others
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Bump :/
As you can read in the first post I couldn't port the blackberry rom
As VoetbalRemco already said,
Its better to do ports YOU want and share them with us.
otherwise ports will get sloppy cuz you just want to get them done, and well, i like to be surprised
BTW, I see you havent port any ROM yet (or is that part just to keep track of completed REQUEST roms?)
But, make sure you are able to port a rom before you take requests, makes requests faster

MIUI ROM for my Desire

Hi Folks,
sneaking around all the Forums and Threads about HTC-Desire I came to the conclusion that I urgently need a new ROM on my smartphone. OK, to be honest, it is more-or-less because off this permanent message that my memory is running low.
So I started to gain knowledge about 'root', 'S-Off', 'HBoot', 'Recovery' and all that stuff. It took a while by I managed to 'root' my Desire without any issue.
Bye the way I learned a complete new language and had to jump between several threads to understand all these abbreviations.
Now I struggle with myself as I am not able to decide on which ROM to choose. My favorites are MIUI and Oxygen. But, what confuses me most are the different versions of each ROM. Yes, I read all the threads of most every single ROM but that made the decision not easier.
Is there someone around who can provide some experience with MIUI and/or Oxygen ROMs.
What I really looking for is a nice looking, state-of-the-art, stable and fast ROM as I am not of that kind to flash updates every day.
Did I ever mentioned that my grandchild is laughing at me, so please help me proof that even someone not familiar with all that new stuff will be able to flash a new ROM.
Cheers !!
My suggestion for MIUI is this one:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
It's stock version from MIUI England, without many modifications. You can also check out on MIUI Germany site.
In my signature you have something I made that's based on CM7 with just a few mods.
I'm using the MIUI ROM too, the response I get is way faster than the stock HTC rom. Although it's a shame that development stopped at GB (I really want the scrollable widget in ICS), but some of the guys here are working on ICS/JB ports, might jump onto one of those when they mature.

Need help with in Deodexed stock rom

Hey guys im trying to deodexed my stock rom and maybe make roms but im stock on deodexed. Im getting all kinds of errors with ultimaxe. Is that how you do it? Im looking for a guide on doing this for samsung devices like this one and on ics but cant seem to have luck. All i see is ultimaxe but like i said im having problems. Or is it possible that you can make me a stock rom with deodexed?
So nobody knows!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18625670
You want something like this?
Yeah that it thank you buddy. Although im trying to put my knowlage more further by learning how to develop roms but the first step is deodexed and I was stuck. This ^^ would make a good start
So nobody is interesting on having a stock deodexed rom? I've been trying to do mine and I'm having problems with XUltimate although the test pass so I have everything I need but It get error on option 3!
I can't speak for everyone but I'm past stock anything and if you look hard enough its probably been done a few times. I'm sure if you go hang out on the IRC channels you will find lots of ppl doing it or willing to help. I can say this, after some things that have happened here over the past few weeks you are going to have a hard time getting ppl to flash your first ROM build. I would find someone to team up with, a known dev, and work with them. After a pro can vouch for you life will get a lot easier for you. I could be wrong and won't go in to details about the past issues. But I would go that route.
I am no dev and have no interest in building a ROM but if I did that's what I would do.
Good luck, hope you do very well and maybe one day I will be flashing your builds.
Thank you for your answer. Yeah I am very aware of JalStudio BS. It just that I would like a good stock rom with tweaks and themed. Heck not even Gnow works because its not deodexed. I've been an android user since the vibrant and have a lot of knowledge on android. I till now learning all of this stuff about making roms and stuff. It seems easy but when you get an error and you know you have everything that you need you just lost like me. XUltimate goes good but when its time to deodexed it gives me an error on every .odex file. Something about bootclass whatever. I gonna do what you said contact a few devs and use IRC. P. S I cant wait till xda-university comes out. That should give a lot of information. It might be a long time my friend when you see roms ported by me. Because first I want to use it as a personal use and then maybe release it.

[Q] Need help to learn porting

i am trying to port this Slimkat rom from moto G but no success. I am just learning to port so help will be appreciated.
I am using mokee as base rom. After i boot, it shows mi logo and then stucked at slimkat logo.
I tried changing Bootclasspath but it directly goes to fastboot. Any change in boot.img is directly taking me to fastboot. Please help me to learn porting.
If anyone had ported any rom then please tell me what base rom you used and link for port rom.
Thanks in advance
SlimKat doesn't support msim, so it will be hard to get RIL working!
Many of members here asking for porting help..there you can ask your question instead of posting new thread...anyways take cynogen ROM as base then try...but next time try to search before posting thread... keep xda clean..
With the kernel source released the days of porting are over guys. There is no longer a need for ports. Just use the source available to used things from source. There will be alot of work that needs to be done but I'm sure you guys can handle it.

Steps to port AOSP?

I'm not a newbie but still not a 'developer' I barely made ROMs. I'm willing to give my time to port cyanogenmod or at least an AOSP that can base to the rest of the AOSP roms. What are the steps mainly?
M8 is actually very similar with our device, what are the modifications needed to make the base rom from M8 work?

I too asked @xxooperminixx same qsn about porting m8 CM ROM to our eye......
But she told that it also might need SSD and takes more time...
I love everything about my Desire EYE except its lack for ROMs. I had Galaxy S3 before it which is an old device from 2012 yet it has every ROM you can imagine to date! It has Cyanogenmod MM since MONTHS. @xXminiWHOOPERxX is an awesome developer, she gives much of her time and effort to port ROMs to our device, but she can't have all of the development alone. That's too much on a single person. If she can teach both of us how to port from M8 AOSP ROMs and post kernels for Sense and GPE roms to complete her guide the device now has at least three developers working on the device.
I'd love to learn porting Roms and test them as well.
She posted a pretty straightforward guide on porting from m8 to desire eye. Even though it's meant for sense roms, it might be of help. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-eye/general/guide-porting-htc-msm8974-devices-t3416014
