CyanogenMod Port for Magic?

Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering if porting over CyanogenMod for Magic has been done before? I've seen it run on a Dream and it's really fast, and can only imagine how wonderful it'd be if it runs on a Magic .
Thanks!

I don't believe it has been done yet. I know once Cyan gets his Magic then we will be graced with his roms.

I'm really looking forward to that! Is he in the process of getting a Magic?

More than likely. It's been a bit since I talked to him on the Dream forums.

maybe we should take up a collection to get him one? A rootable one- say a 32A one
seriously though, if we at least put a bit of money towards it i wonder if he would start developing for us?

I'd be willing. Although not a whole lot since I now have a kid on the way.

Are all his tweaks in the boot image? or in the guts of the rom? I mean if they were in the guts we could hopefully just stick in a magic boot.img, add in wifi stuff and hopefully be good to go... but i suspect (and i wish i knew more about this) the kernel etc ar ein the boot image...

cyanogen rom eats battery p.p
however, i'm running on my magic a rom based on cyanogen rom, and it is great

and how do you do that?

if you want, i can upload the porting (with some mods, as language files and other fix)

oh this would be realy nice.
have you a vodafone branded magic

i would love it please mate.
Any chance of a 32A version too?
So you are not working on your ion rom anymore?
thanks heaps

I would like that!

i've no time, i work 10-12hours every day
but when i've time, i'll work on ion.
ps: i'm reuploading the rom on megaupload, because the androidiani ftp have problems .. i'm uploading also a version for 32a, but i've no idea if it works.. if you want to test it

Thanks nk02! May I know who made this port?

[how to port]inc 2 evo porting patch & tut(+3 roms)

2 METHODS OF PORTING BELOW posted by INCDOES
MANUAL
(FOLLOWING THE GUIDE BELOW)
&
INCDOES PORTING PATCH
(EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A ZIP)=much easier,should be the obvious choice for most...
USE THE METHOD THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS...
UPDATE:To avoid confusion, this thread was started before the porting patch was released...i chose to leave the MANUAL directions below posted on incdoes blog for those of us that like to know whats going on behind the scenes of the updater.script=what the patch is doing
UPDATE:
found this on twitter a bit ago...
(courtesy of incdoes)
CHECK OUT THE INCDOES INC 2 EVO PORTING PATCH
CAUTION:
This is not recommended for the ave everday user/know nothing/no time to fudge with my phone crowd...
that being said, now for the fun stuff
i take no credit for any of this other than typing(incdoes leaked most of these port bases). i am just posting links to roms i found in inc forum with the instructions for porting to evo from incs blog. just trying to initiate some more rom development. i am still trying to decide which i will be working on...but this is open source so i just put it here for evo users/devs to view and get porting

HOW TO PORT INC ROM TO EVO
-excerpt from incdoes blog-
Okay, to run an INC ROM on your EVO would be simple. There will be a few broken 'stuff' e.g. bt, wifi etc... but easy fixes!
First you will need the INC ROM you desire to run on your EVO. Now, if its an "INC Sense ROM" you will need a "EVO Sense Kernel" and if it's an AOSP ROM then you will need a AOSP kernel.
Now there will be a few things you will need to replace on the INC ROM to make it run on your EVO:
~We are going to use a sense 2.2 rom as an example~
"so grab these files from any EVO sense ROM, preferable stock 2.2 EVO"
- boot.img (for your phone to bootup)
- system/usr (for buttons)
- system/lib/hw (for lights)
- system/lib/modules (for wifi)
- system/etc/vold.stab (for sdcard readable)
- build.prop (for market and LED's fix)
please note: some prop files include different edits that can break market/data/network/LED's... but then again, easy fixes!
Now you have an INC Sense ROM and 'all the files listed above pulled from an EVO Sense rom, you will have to add/replace the files pulled from the EVO ROM into the INC ROM, sign the .zip and flash (via recovery).
Should/will bootup if its based on the same firmware i.e. 2.2 INC ROM and 2.2 EVO ROM.

Wonder if this process can be used to port nexus roms?
Probly a couple other things needed.

I had a idea, the Incredible version of the normal LiquidE ROM (not the sense hybrid) seems to have incoming calls working unlike our Evo version. What if we tried porting it using this method, anyone think that might work?

Edit: I realized the boot.img would be for a sense rom, and nexus is aosp. So i can rip the boot.img from cyanogen out and stick it in the nexus rom and it'll purr?
Or... What?

OHHH I wish I had patients!! Quite the opposite actually.....just a really busy life.....but I may try to start tonight anyway .

So im flashing a nexus rom right now, that i switched out all the stuff + threw in a cyanogen kernel.
If this thing bricks...
___________
UPDATE: It booted up, but it doesnt register any touch on the touch screen. LOL.
Hmmm maybe if.. Any ideas guys? I switch some other stuff around too. Maybe i can figure this out...
UPDATE: I flashed netarchy universal kernel and now the touch works, i cant get any signal, i dunno what stuff needs to be switch out from GSM to CDMA.
Wifi WORKS! I dont have a keyboard for some reason, so i cant enter my password to test it but it looks to be fine. And since i have no internet connection i cant get astro to install one from my SD haha.

I flashed over sky raider 3.3 final and every thing is perfect. Theres a uncommon sense patch which I also ported because I remember reading that on the hd Rom the ego didn't like the 4 signal bars. Only thing not exactly right is the camera. It doesn't have the capture button but I can take pics by holding a finger on the screen. Video is a no go due to not having the nature button. This Rom is the smoothest I've used and I'm a flash a holic so I've used them all.

So if I use the flash patch do I need to do any of the other stuff listed in the op(replacing files)?

Sweet Magnus, may have to get back to you details of what i find wrong. But i got a porject due next week for school. I have to record us BMXing this weekend. Then make an edit. If i get that sweet alone time in the eveing, i'll be sure happy to port all three and give findings.

Complete port bounty (first froyo, then gingerbread)

hey guys. I'm not sure if i can do this but i come to the community to suggest a bounty to the Developers and team wich can make a completly workable port wich is fluid and isnt a battery drain for HTC magic 32A for new radio 6.35 for Froyo cyanogen and if we are lucky upcoming Gingerbread.
For start i would be giving a 5$ to this bounty.
This bounty is not only a motivation, but a reward for those who worked so hard and made it happen so that we can have our magics working flawsly . I hope the team such as Carz sanpei capychimp and others join up to this fight together.
Anyone care to join up ?
Best regards

PS: Please insert how much you would like to donate Thanks

I would donate as well...I'm sick of the old radio. I promise myself to never try that again because of the problems one has to cope with when using that piece of ancient software.

same opinion =p

To be honest, the old radio works MUCH better in Serbia than the new one.
When I'm using the new radio and I get disconnected from the network i need to reboot, sometimes up to FIVE times for the phone to be able to connect again.

one more!
I will definitely contribute!

count me one

i will too contribute for this effort

Count Me in it would be great effort and it should be rewarded

cyan for the new radio is an easy thing in my opinion, but.. forget about gingerbread for now

some important things you should know:
- camera not working. no time to deal with it sorry ;(
- I have no idea about battery life with this. check it yourself
- do not try to install updates via rommanager (wont work even if they appear)
- do not report bugs to cyanogen forums. I am almost sure he won't support this
- you'd better download the file and host it somewhere so I can remove it from my server.
- if someone is interested in further development, please open a new thread. I really don't have time to support it..
- if you wish to donate I am not the right person, donate to cyanogen
enjoy

great so many supporters ! please insert the amount to support this Thanks

32a aosp gingerbread
I don't have a 32A device myself (ADP1) but I'm working alot with ezterry on AOSP 2.3 for dream/sapphire in this thread
Just to mention the work was done before I saw this thread so the bounty did'nt drive me to make a 32A version A few members did ask for a 32A "Alpha" rom so I did take some time to make one off the lastest nightbuild we have with a few tweaks.
Check out this post for download link. It says I cannot test it and everything but it was tested by atleast 3 persons and it's working as fine as on 32B.
It's not 100% functionnal... we are aware these things dont work :
gsensors
gps
cam recording
video playing
If some people with 32A devices can give us a hand I guess it's worth posting the links here
Happy new year !

Have you even tried it ?
The 32B 2708 Kernel version we have on the other thread is for newest radio but that requires kernel patches + SPL to work on 32B and as far as I know it doesnt requires any patches for 32A... where have you seen 32A 2708 kernels ?
I've got people running the 32A version on older and newest radio... It's just a matter of kernel to get the 32B rom to work on 32A and as I said there is no special kernel for newest radio for 32A devices........

Hi :) T-Mobile gave me this phone for free.

Hi guys im new to XDA but not new to Android development i used to have Cricket service (which sucked) and signed with T-Mobile and got this phone for free After spending all week reading all these threads i can say im one of the lucky ones since i got the good chip and good screen and rooted my phone and im running Sysnthetic_Aospx great rom btw. Any other good roms that i should try? Anywho im rooted and this isnt another "which rom is better" im actually a developer and i want to get my hands dirty and try and compile kernels any guides out there for me to start compiling and building my kernel environment?
I know my way around developing roms and wanted to know what developers develop for this device im willing to give you guys a hand if u need it or just be a tester.
Btw my name is Mr. Iffy ill try to help when i can hopefully one of the devs can help me with an Ice cream kernel to develop for this device. If someone can also tell me what devs are here i only see like 4 of them Synthetic and elginsk8r and awesome and cnote. Thanks guys hopefully i can be more of help around here.

Welcome! It's great to have another dev among us. Unfortunately, we have lost many of our devs to other devices, but a few talented ones remain. Hopefully you and the remaining devs will be able to bring a fully functional ICS Sense ROM to our little community.
Again, welcome!

Kernels are difficult, i dont really know enoguh to teach you but there are plenty of guides. It tooks me 3 hours to compile 10% of a kernel and the process failed due to one of the files. We should collarborate.

Look forward to your work

Devs wise, there is a few, like the ones you listed. You also have my; Team Inferno an another team call AndroidInsomnia (killer miui builds).

DEVS PLEASE HELP. Trying to port!

So I found a tool on XDA that allows me to put the ROM of choice to be ported and the base ROM. I'm trying to port Paranoid Android 2.00 since we don't have it, and now that we have somewhat steady CM10 nightlies I *should* be able to use it as a base. (The tool is called RomPorter)
So I went ahead and compiled a ROM, but I'm not sure if I should flash. I mean if it was this easy to port ROM's wouldn't we have ROM's just popping up everywhere? I used the HTC One X International version's PA 2.00 as the input ROM btw. I have some coding experience in Java but if it's this easy to port without any coding required why hasn't it been done yet? Just curious. I looked at the CM9 guide to porting PA and I have to make a linux portal and all those things. Basically my main question is, will this work? I don't want to flash and end up hard bricking my phone. I went and checked the build.prop, and framework and it all seemed like a hybrid of CM10 nightly and Paranoid Android 2.00 but is there something I'm missing?
Thanks a lot guys! I'm tired of just being somebody who stands on the side and waits for things to get ported or created. I'm taking a heavy load in college but I want to try and port something at least to contribute.

Using the international base could cause a brick unless you ported an evita kernel too. The international one x has a different partition layout as well.

Read read read, check, double check and triple check. When your confident its possibly bootable, sure that it is not harmful THEN flash it to your device first. Ports are always going to start with bugs. Don't expect perfection, expect a WIP. Importantly, have fun learning. Most importantly , FIRST FLASH IS ALWAYS YOURS :beer::beer:
Added People port roms all the time for themselves. Now posting one on xda and maintaining a thread with dozens-hundreds of followers is a WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY

I just want to try it but I'm afraid it'll brick. I mean what's the worst case scenario? Boot loop then restore to my nandroid? Or being stuck with a brick forever? I don't have a backup phone at the moment lol. Maybe I should invest in one.

If you flash something that overwrites hboot you're hard bricked. That's what I meant by different partition layout.

Here's a easier start for jb paranoid Android port.....dload the HTC evo 4g lte jb paranoid port rom, unzip it, delete the included boot.img, use a hox boot.img from a hox jb rom to replace it with. Zip it and flash it.(use the one XL cm10 boot.img) It will give u a bootable port of jb paranoid Android. Then like most ports, you will start fixing bugs. Camera and wifi won't work, you will need to fix those for sure. But a lot will work so start with priority bug fix#1 and keep on goin
Added: paranoid android rom I would consider the land of the brave for first time porting. U may encounter fixes to be harder than some less modified roms.

I understand now what the scare was. But when taking the Evo LTE ROM and pushing our own boot.img it'll allow me to at least get it started to see what I need to get going and fix! That's a fantastic idea. I'm going to head over there now and see what ROM's they have. I mean technically we share very similar devices internally right? I haven't looked into the Evo specs much.

make sure you pull out any radio images you find in the roms you look at.

Could I push the ones from a cm10 nightly?

No idea. Probably. Or just don't include one.

getting in contact with the developer for the Evo PA ROM. Hopefully this goes somewhere.

Don't we already have a pa rom? You've inspired me though. I'm going to look at porting roms too.

The PA ROM is still ICS, and the biggest killer is that the multi-touch fix is not incorporated because the ROM was cooked pre kernel release unfortunately. The latest update the dev was supposed to release didn't boot and I don't know what happened after that.
And do it! The more devs the better. I want some variety in this little community.

By the way, PARANOIDANDROID 2.00 is not out yet. The last OFFICIAL release is 1.992: Changelog. As for the port, I would love to port roms to our device, since it is my primary device.
I already port ROMs from the i9100 to i777(SGSII Internation to AT&T US Version), but this is a VERY simple operation. And you can use a pre-made program to port by ktoonsez called Flashaholics, but it is only for porting to the i777. I hope we eventually get that far but these 2 devices are far more similar that the One X/OneXL or Evo LTE/One XL.

Just use the latest paranoid rom with the latest cm10 boot.img. I did it a few times when I had my hox. And gunny is right. Either pull the radio or flash a hox radio after u flash ur port and u will get signal with working talk, text. 3g should work too, mms won't, streaming video will be iffy. Just run thru the major stuff, write down what's broken, prioritize it, then always make a nandroid of your previous build so u can revert back if fixes make things worse
---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
He's gonna work off a unofficial paranoidandroid jb 4.1 from the evo lte. It'll boot but there will be plenty of fixing to do. I think its for his use/learning, not sure if he plans on putting it up on forums

I don't plan on uploading it to the forums unless I get the features working. I'm off all day tomorrow so I'll probably give it a shot to see what I can do.
I also realized PA is not 2.00 after I posted that, buts its still a JB Paranoid ROM so it'll do for now while I learn.

It's really good seeing someone (who isn't a regular dev that I know of?) taking such initiative and asking the right questions and such in order to get some dev'ing underway.
Great job! :good:

Thanks! I appreciate it So I got a little ahead of myself and tried it tonight, I'm slowly following a guide and I THOUGHT I was doing everything correctly but it won't flash after "Verifying system partition size" and I got an error. This seems to be a common problem that leads to the updater script, so I'm going to take a look at it when I get up. Could just be a syntax error, or maybe I'm just building it wrong I'm kinda tired

U can always nab the updater script from cm10 hox also. Its been a while and I forgot to mention that. I had the same issue with the evo rooms and that did the trick:beer:

I tried: using the ports updater, the base, and a collaboration of the two and it still didn't go through. Maybe its something else ? I'll try it again to double check.
