Problems Porting X10 ROM to G1

So the guys over in the X10 Forum got the system dump from the X10 posted

I'm working on porting bits of it to my G1 as a side project/learning experiment. I'm using Cyanogen's latest release as a base and I got some various parts moved over, but I'm getting the error "E:Can't find update script" when flashing, even though I have the script at META-INF\com\google\android\update-script. It's unmodified from Cyan's base.
Is there something I need to add to the update-script to include the parts from the X10 system dump I added?

is your meta-inf folder intact? there should be other files in there besides the com folder.

Yup, heres the structure:
META-INF
-com
--google
---android
----update-script
-CERT.RSA
-CERT.SF
-MANIFEST.MF

i had some errors like this... try changing the name of your update.zip

I managed to port it over, but it was just a themed 1.6, couldn't get any of the X10 apps to work (do you have to do something differently with the .odex files?) It booted fine though.
I can send you my update-script if that will help at all?

Thanks for the reply, the original file name was x10-test-1-signed.zip, I changed it to test.signed.zip and it did the same thing. I also tried update.zip with the same result.

Hey Meltus, that would be helpful, then i can compare the 2 and see what im missing.

also: if you leave the odex files out, the system will create them automatically, that might help?

ah i'll try that, thanks.
Here's the update-script file i'm using. [attached, remove .txt] I nicked it from some ROM, can't remember which lol (sorry )
Also, does anyone know how to change the resolution? It is SERIOUSLY messed up lol.

I thought it was in the build prop? I didnt see it in there though. not in the one i have anyway.

actually, i bet if you changed this line in the build prop:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
it would probably help

I tried your update-script and I got the same err :/

Not sure why it's not finding the file. Try redoing the folder layout.

I tried rebuilding, no go. would you mind sending me what you have? maybe we can get that working?

Well, my update.zip doesn't do anything atm. (gonna deodex all the files first and see if that works) but it flashes. It only works if you fastboot all the .img's first and then flash the update.zip though.

I often found that you don't ZIP the main folder you keep your data, system and other folders in, but the ones inside it. You select all of them, ZIP and name it "update". Then sign. Try using this method.

What are you using the zip the archive? Try using 7-zip? Sounds like Android doesn't know how to unzip your zip file.

ill try it lol i just need a guide or something

just replace them in the apk with the ones you want (same name), then build a install zip, sign it, and push via adb or install via RA

in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)

how would i open and edit the files?

with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.
beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.
what ROM and addons are you using anyway?

here's a metamoprh zip that will change to 3g icons, and nothing else.

hey man thanks!!
but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?

thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?

it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.
and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph

thankx guys I got it working

no problem

I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help

Woww, this is nice, I will try it myself Cute GUI TOO THANKS DEV

Tools like this are always welcome, thank you.
Just one request, the title is deceiving, could you change "Boot" to "Splash" or "Startup".

Quick bump for the updates. Hopefully this will help people out.
mind you this program install everything in the /system/media directory and gives it 755 permissions.

nice work as always amoa

Nice work thank you

Or name it boot anime configuration tool

glad to see you're still around amoamare. awesome stuff..
i remember you back from the mobile-files(R.I.P) days.
i had no interest in bothering to change my boot animation but since this is now so easy.. i'm thinking.. "why not!"

tried this but did not work no idea why great tool

I've seen a few boot animations, but, is there a repository of them somewhere?

I tried to unpack the rar file using androzip but it failed...how exactly do I set this up?
***EDIT*** Just saw it had exe files...i guess this needs to be done via cpu...any tips?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Works just fine, but I have a question.
This doesn't change the boot up animation of the Sprint logo, how do you actually do that?

Good Job man, this is a really useful application. I can change boots sleeping, in a coma, but this is sick for those who cannot do it themselves yet. Keep up the good work. devs like you are what makes xda awesome​

Well thanks guys, I just seen that it was on the main page. Yes i will include a way for you to be able to have a silent start up.
Basically just a check box that says "Silent Animation" or something.
Im up for any suggestions on this as well. I will be updating this again in the next few days until then. Here is a screen shot of my current project
This is for cricKet specifically, this particular one is not for release.
This is a screen shot of how the one that will be released will look like.
Basically where it says "Install CKT ROM" will just say "Install ROM" and you wont have "Provision Phone"
This program is designed to help you "Root", "Nand Unlock", Install "Recovery" and Push a "ROM" to your SDCard while further more giving you instructions along the way.
Of course its not for you "Advanced" users who can do this. It's for anyone looking to modify there phone but dont quit understand all the adb cmds.
BTW This is just a idea that I might release it. I haven't thought entirely if i should....
O and about the thread title, i cant change it haha so if a mod wants to change it to something more suitable thats fine.

lol, dont do it, ur tool would make it all too easy!
j/k, great job man as always

[Tools][Windows]

Hey all.
Have been doing Android dev for a short time, but Windows dev for a while.
I wrote myself two little .bat (batch) files for making a couple things quicker for me. These are crude little batches, nothing complicated here.
The first is LogcatBat, which is a little batch file for viewing logcat on your PC using the ADB binaries.
The second is ShellBat, which opens up an Android shell terminal on your PC connected to your phone through ADB as well.
Now, as stated before, THESE FILES ARE CRUDE. There isn't any support for them, and if you use them you do so at your OWN RISK. This is pretty simple stuff, but it can be used for HARM IF YOU'RE STUPID...
...So, don't be.
Now, you have to right click and save these files as .bat files - just clicking the links will generate the text of the batch commands. Also keep in mind these two files assume that your android directory is at C:\android-sdk-windows\tools. If they are not, email me, and tell me the location of your ADB folder so I can remake the file for you. Or, you can edit them yourself (this is Open Source, of course :wink:.
LogcatBat
ShellBat

Well I guess that it will help a handful of noobs out there.
Most of the script (I'd say about 98%) is ascii art.

LOL I had to throw in a little "sumpin' sumpin'" more than what I used it for daily.
And it's TARGETED towards noobs, because I am one myself.

Also, those who download this PLEASE comment/reply to this to let me know how you like, dislike, or just what's up!

You might include instructions for customizing the directory structure, ex mine is c:\android and I have modded my path var to include the location of adb and fastboot.
Sorry, I should have continued reading. Still instructions and maybe how to set up path might be useful.

Cool to see more batch scripts, i love em as u can tell from my signature. They're so simple yet so powerful. Heres a tip to improve em, u can use errorlevel's to check if adb is in the $path. If its not in the path u cud perhaps ask for user-input to the directory where his/her sdk directory is and "cd" to that before executing commands.
Let me know if u need any help, im no pro but ive been working with them for a while now. Refer to my apk manager script, the top few lines are where i check if java/adb are installed on ur system.

Actually I used your script and found that I don't have Java installed. But when I installed the latest 1.6 JDK, they still can't detect it! May I know why?

If u can go to command prompt and type
java -version
if u see command not found, then java is not in ur path. If u do find it however, im intrigued as to why apk manager is complaining, in any case ignore the complaint.
Fyi, redirect any issues to its thread on the g1 forums, i dont wanna hijack this thread/easier to manage 1 thread instead of 2.

Features
All the standard MIUI features
Known Issues
- Unknown!
Instructions
1. Download the rom, kernel, and gapps to your sdcard.
2. Make sure you are in recovery mode with a custom recovery.
3. Full Wipe!
4. Flash the rom
5. Flash the kernel.
6. Reboot.
Download
MIUI: 2.4.20 RC2
Kernel: Ezgb Kernel

Misc. Notes
This is MDPI based, and I followed procedure properly so everything should work here, but if anything is broken please let me know.
Also take note that DL'd themes do not work unless modified for MDPI use
Important
On first boot things may look garbled, after a reboot everything should be fine.
There may appear to be errors on install but everything should straighten out after a reboot.

What is the best gapps to use with this ROM and where can I get them from?

looks like gapps are packed with the rom so dont flash any separately

Everything is working as intended?

As of right now I am getting stuck on the green mytouch screen. The checksum of my downloads are correct. I know the problem isn't the kernal as I have used it before.

This has enough DLs for me to ask If your bootloop problem is isolated or not, is anyone else experiencing this?

wont install on a g1, tried two downloads (md5 for both 5F48EAFF996F2FA6BC7CC1F9195F7AA4) if you want to confirm
i dont have time to trouble shoot right now but at first the error appears to be missing a ringtone (romancingTheTone.ogg) and install is aborted, havent tried to adding it to test but someone else did (has only a couple of posts so he pm'd me as he cant post in this thread) and said the same. he tried replacing the file and then got another error that wouldnt let him flash, certinstaller error i think, but dont know why that would cause it not to instal. ill test tomorrow when i have more free time just giving you a heads up

Would that work on 32A devices with old radio?

This is my first time doing an MDPI MIUI port, It's strange for it to not work but I will compile a new build soonish

Ok, Uploaded RC2 and stripped the rom of potential breaks, so here goes folks!

anyone actually tested this?

The first was non-functioning due to services and Framework, the second should probably work fine but If not I'll have to go the diffing route.
Either way I can for sure get this to be functional but I need feedback :s

Second Copy is smashed as well, It looks like I'm going to have to mess with code I'll have a new and hopefully proper build this time!

I hope you get this fixed! I love MIUI!
Just one thought; check system parition size, it may need to be bigger as MIUI is fairly big rom
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app

Okay my G1 stay alone without work and I preform test of yours rom. But my feedback is negative.
1. You have missing ogg melody and instillation was aborted because zip dont match with signature. I was able to install when disable signature verification. Thansk frankey
2. The rom dont boot. I try with RA/CWM recovery result was same. Are you sure this rom dont have need from custom MTD ??? My Logcat

From that logcat, audioflinger is dying. It isn't opening the files /system/etc/AudioPara_TMA.csv and /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv
Check to see if those are there. If not, get them then try.
Also, second post of my roms thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31653323. If you use stuff I compiled, it states that you should at least send me a pm about using my work.
And the name is tvall. that's a lowercase "t".
Edit: still haven't downloaded yet. Just looking at file size, looks almost certainly like its too large for stock partition sizes. Try slimming it up, or moving some apps to /data, or just using custom mtd

i flashed it thru RA but it wont flash

just downloaded and looked. this rom is ~140mb. the /system partition on the g1 is 90mb. see the problem? trying to slim it up. got it down to 120mb by removing livewalpapers and apps that we are not allowed to distribute (including gapps isnt allowed). still have to free up ~30mb for this to be even usable. youll probably just have to use custom mtd.
edit:
have not tested this. /system size is 88mb, so no gapps yet. http://www.mediafire.com/?i3bsba3sgbf4e49. it may or may not boot. i have not tested. i just fixed the first obvious major issue with this rom, thats all.

Including gapps isn't allowed? Since when I use miui with them merged into the ROM
Take custom mtd up to 120 and then delete anything else we really don't need? Slim down ring tones to maybe 3 or 4
Good luck dude!
