Porting Vibrant Roms To SGS4G
***EDITED FROM A GTALK WITH DR. HONK***
ALL CREDIT GOES TO DR. HONK FOR TEACHING ME AND FOR KRYLON360 FOR TEACHING DR. HONK!!!
THANKS FOR LETTING ME POST THIS AND FOR YOUR PATIENCE!!!
OK, Well CWM is now final and it's time to start PORTING!!!
***Most Vibrant roms are 2.2, so you will be downgrading your OS.
Also, if it's a i9k port, it might require more work. (button mapping, etc.)***
TOOLS
1. Install Android SDK
2. Download Smali.jar & baksmali.jar from http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. Both files will have version numbers on the end. take those off.
4. Place both files in /tools directory in sdk.
5. Download Beyond Compare.
6. Download 7 zip.
7. Download A FLASHABLE SGS4G ROM.
8. Download the Vibrant Rom you wish to Port.
9. Download Ammend2Edify (somewhere on XDA)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: To DECOMPILE (FROM /TOOLS) "java - jar baksmali.jar -o directory_out/ classes.dex" To COMPILE (FROM /TOOLS) "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar source_directory/ -o New_Classes.dex"
1.)Okay, so there are four files that need to be edited. They are framework.jar, services.jar, Settings.apk and android_policy.jar.
2.)Using 7-zip, you need to extract the classes.dex from each file mentioned, for both the rom you want to port and the flashable SGS4g Rom you are comparing it to. This has to be done, since the vibrant and sgs4g have totally swapped partitions.
3.)Extract one at a time. Place classes.dex into /tools, Decompile to directory_out. ( i.e, if using KD1 flashable and extracting framework.jar, then name directory_out KD1_framework)
4.)Once you have extracted & decompiled the classes.dex from each of the four files, Open Beyond Compare.
5.)Load the two directoies you want to compare and hit the compare button. select binary.
6.)Look for anything with storage information. Either STORAGE info .. or anything for /sdcard. Here's the problem ... internal storage and external storage. those are swapped.
7.) you replace that part .. and only that part.
Example:
on framework.jar .. you want to look at Android\os\Environment.smali
everything there need to be swapped, from /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/sd/external_sd
and vice versa
Same goes with Landroid/os/Environment;->INTERNAL_STORAGE_DIRECTORY .. that needs to be Landroid/os/Environment;->EXTERNAL_STORAGE_DIRECTORY
8.)You will see a lot of differences .. ignore any line differences. ALL YOU NEED IS STORAGE.
9.)There might not be differences in every file, depending on the rom to be ported with the exception of settings.apk. USB Mounting will not work if not edited properly!
10.)Once edited, go back into command prompt and compile. the new_classes.dex will appear in the /tools category.
11.)Open the Vibrant Rom in 7 zip and go back to the location of the classes.dex file you extracted. delete it and copy over the new_classes.dex. rename it to classes.dex. you'll get a prompt from 7 zip that the archive has changed. accept to update the archive.
12.)Repeat this proces for each classes.dex edited.
so that's the jar and apk files!
WI-FI:
1.)You will need to copy over /system/etc/wifi from sgs4g ROM to the new port ROM.
2.)Then you also need to copy several files ... /system/bin/wpa*../system/bin/wifi* ../system/bin/*ril* .. /system/lib/*ril*
3.)Then you also need to copy over /system/etc/vold*
CHANGING THE MODEM & KERNEL.
1.)Open the Vibrant Rom in 7 Zip and Delete ZImage(kernel) and Modem.bin
2.)Open the SGS4G Rom and Copy over Modem.bin & Zimage.
3.)Thank Krylon360 for catching my brain farts.
AMMEND2EDIFY:
Most Roms you'll find for the vibrant are using ammend scripting. Download the Program & the updated phone database for it from XDA and follow the OP instructions to get it set up.
That's it! FLASH AWAY!!!

haha all good man, just messin with ya. in a good mood today.
ack.. you forgot the biggest part..
you will need to swap the kernel and modem from the vibrant rom you are porting with the SGS4g kernel and modem.
So for example,,
you are porting Bionix, you will want to take the KD1 kernel and modem (or Bali kernel for the SGS4G) and overwrite the ones that are in the Bionix zip
Dude this is great. Now I just need a computer to try and port some roms. Thank you guys

can you add to your post, that most Vibrant roms are 2.2, so they will be downgrading their OS.
Also, if it's a i9k port, it might require more work.
thanks again! edited.
Downloading the newest SDK right now.
Got another 2 hours just sitting around at my desk here at work while everyone else has left to enjoy their long weekends...might as well be productive with something I am actually interested in....
Going to try to port Bionix

This is STILL fantastic for sgs4g potential development to ramp up and get started. It really can't be overstated. I'm sure now we will soon have native roms built from scratch as well. There are a hell of alot of sgs4gs out there and all owners starving for mods lol. Heck I expect to see a native 4g rom ported to vibrants and i9ks.

So does that mean CM7 love for SGS4G? And we'd be missing 4g on any vibrant rom we port wouldn't we?

You will have to ask Team Douche or over on the official cyanogen site about their intentions regarding sgs4g. I can tell you this--it wouldn't happen without a working cwm. So my guess is yes we will see CM at some point.
Regarding 4g... we will still have 4g. Ports won't affect that. No worries in that regard, our phones will still be fast as hell on the net.

These are tweaks to improve the smoothness and performance of the phone

Nope wont download on the phone.
1st link starts but fails
2nd has about 100 redirects then stops and says too many redirects.
Please just post it at the normal places.
Or cant u juat attach it here?
Also.. How about listing what kernels should work instead waiting for people to smoke their phones.
Example... Does the stock 2.3.4 kernel that most people are on work? - i am going to say no because you say it requies Ext4 and 2.3.4 is not that right?
Ext 4 is really only used on AOSP correct? Cyanogen stuff
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
edit -
just d/l on a pc ok. - i really hate the way these phones dont download **** properly.
All stock roms are rfs voodoo fixes that and re formats to EXT4. cyanogenmod uses EXT4 and something else i think, i dunno im still pretty nooby
Would also second what kernels work for stock rooted GB eh09? IS there an voodoo kernel out yet? Didnt source just hit yesterday? If so you guys are blazin

we dont have a voodoo kernel yet and im not sure if our stock lernel supports the init'd yet but it should soon...and yes...source dropped for us!!!
if you guys have no init.d support yet thats fine, just push the following files manually
/system/bin
/system/lib
dont push the rest till you have what you need
but the other tweaks should still improve your phone

Try reading what I said and maybe you'll understand.
Giventhatcm7 is the only thing this will work for i think you need to clearly state this in the title or the first line of the thread.
Unlessi read wrong this is for gingerbread and cm7 is the only rom/kernel to have the requirements he has layed out.
Also, how about adding the correct flashable zip to your first post for those who are not on a cm7 based gingerbread rom.
That way we dont have to fuk our devices by trying manual pishes that dont always work.
Just a suggestionas i would love to have this on the uscc stock 2.3.4 gingerbread since that is all thats available and it seems like the mez is dead on xda

Its not just for GB you need a kernel that supports init.d for onr of the tweaks the others will work no matter what
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I'm still wondering why you referred to yourself in third person.
which kernel?
is this kernel supported, and is this the proper file system... I believe I am running ext4 with cyanogen 7?
2.6.35.7-gf63f6d6
And when you say "clean out init.d", do you mean delete the files in /ext/init.d before applying these tweaks?
Thanks in advance

no need to wipe your init.d folder simply go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
and pick up the u.s.a.sv6 tweak its remade no need to worry about init.d folder
quick question... why is u.s.a.s significantly smaller?

Why do people care about voodoo? It's not "coming" any time soon. The entire idea of voodoo lagfix is to convert the filesystem to ext4 which is faster than the stock format. That makes things run smoother, faster, etc. than stock. Now on gingerbread we have a completely different filesystem called MTD which is even better than ext4; thus if we ever got a voodoo lagfix kernel it would be downgrading our phones.
-Download the latest Cyanogenmod 9 for the Samsung Epic 4G and extract it to a folder called MIUI-port. Also extract a second copy to a folder named EPIC-CM-UNMODDED
-Download the latest MIUI for the Samsung Fascinate and keep it open in a file manager
-Delete the folders ‘/system/framework/’ and ‘/system/app/’ from your MIUI-port folder you made.
-Copy the folders ‘/system/framework/’, ‘/system/media/’ and ‘/system/app/’ from the Samsung Fascinate MIUI that you downloaded into your MIUI-port folder. If asked, overwrite.
-Copy the files ‘/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so’, ‘/system/lib/liblbesec.so’, and ‘/system/lib/content-types.properties’ from the Samsung Fascinate MIUI into the MIUI-port rom.
-Copy the file ‘/system/xbin/invoke-as’ from the Samsung Fascinate MIUI into the MIUI-port rom.
-Copy the files ‘/system/etc/telocation.db’ and ‘/system/etc/yellowpage.db’ from the Samsung Fascinate MIUI into the MIUI-port rom.
-Replace ‘/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script’ in MIUI-port with this one: http://goo.gl/9UhXR
-Open ‘/system/build.prop’ from MIUI-port in Notepad ++ and change the
Code:
following ro.build.id=MIUI
ro.build.display.id=MIUI
ro.build.version.incremental=2.x.x //version
ro.config.ringtone=MI.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=GoodMorning.ogg
ro.config.sms_received_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.sms_delivered_sound=MessageComplete.ogg
-De-compile the MIUI ‘/system/framework/android.policy.jar’ and open ‘\smali\com\android\internal\poli cy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smali’ then try reversing the variables 0x* near ‘.line 1094’ and ‘.line 1096’. For example, make 0x1 0x0 and 0x0 0x1.
-In the same file, mess around with stuff using this as a reference to fix the software keyboard: http://goo.gl/9UhXR
-Recompile android.policy.jar and replace it with the one in ‘/system/framework/’ in MIUI-port
-De-compile /system/framework/framework.jar and copy all files from com->android->telephony->cdma->sms from CM9.
-De-compile /system/framework/framework.jar and copy all files from com->google->mms from CM9. Then swap the mms_config.xml located in /xml from the one found in CM9(I am going to be messing around with the MMS.)
Decompile /system/framework/framework.jar on both CM9 and MIUI. Then go into com\android\internal\telephony\cdma and swap CdmaDataConnectionTracker.smali from CM9 to MIUI.
-Next go to folder com\android\internal\os and find ZygoteInit.smali. Swap from CM9 to MIUI. **Still getting ZygoteInit errors.
-Zip up the MIUI-port folder and flash!!

That would work if anyone has an installer for it. I don't have a current working version, since I made loads of modifications to it which no longer makes a bootable rom.
Currently working on getting the MIUI Builder to work with V4 and also the guide to porting gingerbread MIUI.
Edit (1:36 AM CST): Ugh... quitting for the night, there's a lot involved in writing the guide. I have a chunk there, but there's crucial parts still missing. Time to relax and do some gaming.

Like the title says I'm working on building a ROM of my own. I am new to this but am not stupid. I've looked around the forums and have bookmarked quite a few threads that will help me. My question is, how would I go about putting a custom CWM flashing screen in? Like on Eman..and ZTR where it says Collective, and flashing modem, etc. etc. And if anyone can point me to a better "ROMS for dummies thread that would be great Thanks for any help

For camera I believe you will also need to pull the camera firmware apk too-so you need to put the modded camera.apk and camera firmware.apk in your from (both can be obtained from any of bigfaus roms
For epm you need more than just the settings apk, you also need to replace the frameworks that come with epm (policy.jar, framework-res.apk, and framework-res.jar) I believe that's all you need
As always, if you choose to upload your rom for others be sure to give credit-bigfau for camera, and I'm assuming you got epm from dman so dman for epm
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Also for battery mods (and other stuff too) a great place to go is a website called UOT kitchen-just choose your battery mod then upload your frameworks and it will place the modded battery in there for you, then replace your old frameworks with the new ones from uot kitchen
*do this after you have epm set up and running...unless you plan on doing it manually using dmans how to guide*

This is all Darkierawr's work putting this together. He asked me to release it if I have time as he does not. So I tested both files by Odining back to stock, rooted and flashed the BML then the MTD version from there. If you see Darkie around make sure to hit a thanks for him.
The MTD version will convert you from BML also and that is a big thanks to Toadlife for his conversion script.
So this is a flashable of the odexed full stock prerooted of the FC19 leak. Big thanks to Whosdaman for getting the tar for us.
The FC19 modem is here: http://d-h.st/eU1
For Odin installation of modem - Odin 1.85: http://d-h.st/i1Q
This was rooted with shadowkernel so thanks to Bbelos!
The FC19 leak had the Sprint Connections Optimizer conspicuously missing so was this a backup plan? Who knows. Check it out if you like.

Coming from Odin of FC09 on BML this has all stock boot ani and sound. The MTD kernel used has the flashing Android waiting for you to stick in bootani and sound of choice. As for deodexed...easily done with Xultimate or deodexed tool of choice. If there is a big demand for the stock deodexed FC19 leak I will do it for you guys. I think Sleeper also posted a deodexing and odexing tool.
YAYYYYYYY

A quick google will get you better answers but odexed means each apk in app folder and each jar file in framework folder is coupled with an odex file making it more difficult to theme or mod. Deodexed combines needed info into the apk files as well as in classes.dex. Then just the apk or jar file can be modded.

So any chance of getting a deodexed version?? appreciate all the help just dont want to screw it up trying to change to odexed version.. haven't tried that yet.

The only thing deodexed is used for is theming and modding.
If you're not going to be doing either of those flashing this should be fine.
How do we strip out the Sprint bloatware? Once it's rooted, can it just be uninstalled? Or will it come out with one of the uninstaller apps?
I think it's time to try something stock again- as much as I like ThunderHawk4, I'd really like my data to work correctly by itself all the time.
I have a personal [unproven] theory that different phones react differently to different ROM/kernel combinations. My first EPIC definitely played better with a greater variety than my current refurb. Maybe STOCK is easiest for some?

Titanium backup can uninstall system apps. You can also delete them out of system\app directory with 7zip before installing.

Is there another tool besides Xultimate to deodex? For reasons too boring to explain here, I can't use Xultimate.

What does it look like?
i was hesitant to flash this due to the 2.0 / 2.1 bug of flashing first...
but decided to take the plunge.
so far so good.
passed the work test

Alot of people have been asking me how i ported Slim ICS, soooo...i made a tutorial on how i port AOSP ICS roms...this is a general tutorial that should be just enough to get the port to boot. your port will not be flawless and it will probably have some major bugs that need fixing which are usually fixed by libs.
This should work with all AOSP ICS roms except those formated in a MTD file system (MTD is not supported by the infuse)...but for best compatibilty use a similar phone like the galaxy s...also before porting if you plan on uploading it you must get permission first!!! Dont make the same mistake i made with slim...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loFHhYf0ca4
Guide:
***DISCLAIMER***
i am not responsible to any damdge caused to your phone by following this tutorial, you are doing this at your own risk. Before beginning you can not be afraid to mess with system file, to experiment, to get boot loops or even completely destroy your phone-for the infuse this is highly unlikely
if you fear bootloops or bricking a phone than you should not follow this tutorial
this guide should work for all phones and all AOSP roms, however every rom is different so some may require extra steps which you will be on your own for...this should be enough to get you to boot up though.
***END OF DISCLAIMER***
if you have any questions please feel free to comment bellow, dont message me on youtube i probably wont answer...if you do comment i may or may not help you, but maybe somebody else will. i have a busy life, and am constantly busy with the infuse and can not spend the time to address everyones issues...but by commenting maybe some one will help.
TOOLS/PROGRAMS NEEDED:
1) 7zip or other archive program
2) text editor, for windows i would use notepad++
STEPS:
1) download CM9 for your device or other AOSP based ics rom ***This is your base rom, you will use this to replace files in the rom you want to port***
What ever firmware your base is is the firmware you will be able to port...EX: 4.0.4 base=4.0.4 port
***for this tut i will be using CM9 4.0.4 for the infuse found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844 ***
2) download rom you want ported ***it can be from any phone, but for best compatibilty/least amount of bugs use a rom from a similar device, since i have an infuse i will use a Galaxy S ICS rom"
3) open up the CM9 or whatever base rom you are using with 7zip (dont extract it just view the archive...for 7zip right click rom, go to 7zip option and choose view archive)
4) delete the following folders in the system folder: app, framework, media, and fonts
5) open up the rom you want to port and use the app, framework, media, and fonts folder to replace the ones you just deleted in the cm9 base
6) copy libandroid_runtime.so *located in /system/lib/* from the rom you want to port into the cm9 base (you are replacing the one already in there) keep a copy of the one in CM9...if it doesnt boot up put the CM9 one back in
OPTIONAL/NOT NEEDED to make the rom run
a) go to build.prop and change the name of the rom
b) change the name of the CM9 base zip to whatever you are porting
7) place the rom on your sd card and flash...if you get bootloops do a logcat
If your rom is unresponsive/not working right you may need to replace some stuff in the /system/lib/ with stuff from the rom you are porting (just compare the rom you are porting with cm9 and whenever you see something missing in the CM9 base or dif size switch it over BUT keep a backup of the unresponsive one that booted...this part is all trial and error) i can not help you with this part...you are on your own, but feel free to comment and i may try and help or someone else may try and help
Also logcats will help in diagnosing problems...
please dont pm me for help, comment on this thread and if i have time i will try and help...or someone else will. im really busy, im a junior in highschool, so i have homework monday-friday, not to mention that my 92 year old great aunt is moving in with us as she can no longer take care of her self alone so i will be busy taken her to appointments and what not.
If i could i would help each and every one of you guys...but i just dont have the time to help everyone so if we can restrict the questions and answers to here hopefully we can limit the amount of questions asked.
Saved for Q&As...
just in case...
Thank you very much MG for your hardwork and dedication. This guide will actually help and inspire many of us to bring ICS flavours on Infuse. :thumbup:
Only a HS junior? My god what was I doing when I was your age? Definitely not porting Android roms.

I was going through the files and if I just put the apk in the system/app it would be alright?
