Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!
Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?
First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.
Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

As the title says, I'm looking for anyone who has the knowledge to help me in my attempt to port the CyanogenMod 3 way reboot menu to the D1 MIUI ROM.
There is a tutorial posted up at miui-dev.com: [PORT][MOD] Porting Evo 3 Way Reboot To Other Devices
But unfortunately, Bigrushdog's tutorial is riddled with incorrect line numbers and does a poor job of explaining what exactly needs to be edited for anyone that does not have a very high level of Android development knowledge. Also, the files posted on that thread have conflicting information from what his tutorial describes. And apparently, he won't, "Hold a noobs hand", as he himself has said in IRC when asked for help.
So I'm seeking a calm, patient and knowledgeable person to help me achieve a very complex mod.
I've posted this in this section since this mod can be preformed to any CM based ROM, I just happen to be asking for help to do so on the D1. If this is the wrong section for this, please fell free to move it to the correct section.
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.
Hello everyone,
Can someone please point me to a stock 4.24.651.1 rom? I need to get my phone back to stock. I rooted with unrevoked. I can only find odex or deodex (sorry if wrong) versions. I would like the original unrroted version if it is out there. Please, I have searched and just cant find what I am looking for. Even just a point in the right direction would help as I just can figure this out!!
1st wrong section
2nd you didn't look to hard
3rd - here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
I tried that and followed that video already. I cant find the stock rom that is not rooted and some of the info I found there seemed out of date with a rom that was to old to use according to my phone. Im sorry if this is the wrong section. Im not sure shere to post. I thought this would be the appropriate section since I found a lot of ROM stuff here. I would be happy to post elsewhere if I knew the right place to post.
Maybe you were looking for this?

Keep in mind, if you are rooted, you will lose it. If you install any of the 4.2 ones you wont be able to root it again until they come up with one.
YES!!! Thank you, I believe that is what I need. I really appreciate you pointing me to that site. For some of us who dont get on the threads alot it can be a bit frustrating trying to find the right info. I appreciate your help and not slamming me for asking my question.
Nobody will "slam" you for asking questions but thy will for posting in the wrong section. But it was nice for Chamala to answer your question and let you know it was the wrong section.

Also this thread in these very forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
I don't bother fighting the wrong forums, not searching, etc anymore. It's not worth the effort and XDA mods don't really care anymore, especially with the EVO becoming a budget phone.
Hello, I am new to XDA-Developers and so this isn't in the Development forum and I'm sorry for that. What I need to ask is about making a ROM. I want to make a ROM out of the AOSP Jelly Bean ROM, and port it to the Triumph:laugh:, but I don't know about compatibility issues. My question is: Do any of you guys know if the Triumph is compatible with dsixda's ROM Kitchen? It isn't on the supported devices list, but dsixda himself said that more devices might work with it, so if any of you have tried using the Kitchen I'd like your help. Thanks.
Good to see that you're motivated, but there's already a major roadblock to widespread ICS adoption on the Triumph because the camera won't work and the files needed to get it working aren't publicly available. You'll probably run into the same issues, making this project kinda dead in the water.
Good luck but the kitchen can only do so much. If you do use it, you will have to make manual edits to get things to work. But I don't think you can just port JB to our phones, especially with the kitchen. You will need to build from source, I am pretty sure. But don't let me stop you, just trying to give you a heads up. Try some things out and then ask some questions in the forums and somebody should be able to help you get on the right path.

I am going to try an experimental build on my friend's Triumph (I don't have one) and I'll post in this thread the results, and then I'll go from there.
I don't think that dsixda's kitchen works with the Motorola Triumph. I currently use it for the Galaxy S2 SGH-t989! But in the near future updates he may have add support for that device! And if you wanted to do Jelly Bean then you would have to get the android source code and build it from source! Building from source is much harder than building from port.
I really hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck with your development!
I have upgraded my Atrix 2 to 4.0.4 and have rooted it.. All i have to do is to install CWM and go for a good custom mod (Pref. Jellybean)

This belongs in Q&A not general, for future reference. I have reported this to the MODS, so they can move it.
if you're planning to flash jellybean then you need the boostrap from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19355021 , with that installed, go to dev section of the forum and d/l a custom rom and flash following steps in the op , remember always to make a backup of your current rom
sent from the gray stuff inside my skull
There are only two roms based on JB. And both have a guide to install.
Any links for some good n stable roms are appriciated.. Kindly help

So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.
Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.
Hey XDA,
I have been around for a while, gone through two phones and have had no problems rooting, flashing ROMs, etc. thanks to all of the amazing people on the site. I have come to a point though, that I am interested in learning to port ROMs (and maybe even build a ROM from AOSP, but I am taking this one step at a time). I have looked all over the Chef Central -> Android section and the Q & A section and have been unable to find a solid guide on porting ROMs from a device with different hardware than the device you want to port to. I am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere and I try to contribute as much as I can. I hope I am not inconveniencing anyone too much. If a thread already exists that can help me out, I would greatly appreciate a link, then you can close this thread.
I am only trying to port between the ATT and internation GS3s, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
The ROM I am trying to port is PA 2.99 beta8.
Thanks,
#TekGadgt

I will give it a go! Thanks. I had noticed this one, but was unsure if it would work between devices with different hardware. I see now that it does. I will work on that ASAP. One more question though, what do you do about devices with different resolutions? I noticed the guide is for devices with the same resolution.
