And this is for porting roms from equivalent ldpi devices!!
Set up dsixda kitchen first ! To set up follow these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Then open kitchen using cygwin or linux! Put the base rom and the rom you wanna port in original update folder!
1.Then type 0 and enter!
2.Then 19 ie. Porting Tools
3.Choose a then enter!
4.Choose the base rom !
5.Then choose the rom you wanna port!
6.It'll take some time!
7. " Now type 99 ie. build rom from working folder " !
8. The built rom will be in output_zip!
9. Now flash ur ported rom through cwm!
10. Enjoy!
And I forgot to tell a thing that camera wont work unless you replace the lib folder in system/lib ..
And for a complete pictorial guide check here : http://www.mediafire.com/?t4eet10vst13f5l
Way do I mean by equivalent? Way abut mdpi
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
mdpi is a little complicated... you need to decompile many apks and resize the resources.
the lcd density needs to be adjusted.
in short, it takes a lot more hardwork.

notice: i've tested this on XXKPM and XXKPQ not sure if this same file works on other roms.
WARNING:
-you need to be rooted and deodexed, and incase of anything goes wrong always take a backup of your system.
-these patches will only work for rom's i linked each patch to, if you change the theme or add new mod's it will mess up your device.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1-download the fololwing the file corresponding to your rom.
2-copy the file you've downloaded in your phone's external_sd
3-go to CWM boot and choose install zip from sdcard
4-choose the file you copied and press ok and you're done!
P.S: first boot will take long time but after that it gets normal

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks a lot man, that really helped!!!
Thats amazing work...if it works on custom roms also then it will be awsome. It will really help people.
Atleast this helps, Had a few members ask me about this on how to get arabic support. Also a suggestion would be not to use it on XXKPM since you may end up flashing often,
Any screen shots please........

its not hard to make new ones for custom roms, that's if they edit the framework and all, else it will work.

As the title speaks, here is a guide on porting roms.
For porting roms from mini,
1.download the rom (obviously)
2.Extract the rom through winrar
3.Go to system folder
4.Go to system/lib/modules. Delete everything there and replace with the ones for our device.
5.Then go to system/lib/hw. delete everything there and replace with yours.
( The "/hw" directory as you can see contains the files which control the sensors and lights such as GPS and the accelerometer. )
6. Then for the soft keys and hard keys to work, go to system/usr/keychars and system/usr/keylayout and replace with yours
7. Now go to system/etc. Then delete these items and replace with the ones meant for our device.
- vold.fstab
- /wifi
- /ppp
If u are porting cm7 from mini, use the boot.img of any cm7 rom here. eg. Vishwanath patil's cm7 boot.img .
For ace,
Do the above things , then resize framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and other apk's like dialertabactivity.apk, phone.apk!
For other devices, (other manufacturers)
(Eg. Cm7)
Extract the cm7 meant for our rom. Then delete app and framework folder. Then go to the rom u wanna port. Copy framework and app folder. And paste it in the cm7 made for our device.
For porting kernels,
unpack the boot.img of the rom u wanna port. Open init.rc and copy the things after bootpath.
repack ur ramdisk!
For camera to work on the ported roms, replace these wid urs,
libarccamera.so
libcamera.so
libcameraservice.so
libcamera_client.so
libCaMotion.so
liboemcamera.so
libseccamera.so
libseccameraadaptor.so
Note: Camera will work, but replace the camera.apk from our device to the ported one for 5 megapixels!
And plz dont spam the development section with ports
Use it for your personal use!
Enjoy Porting!

Sir will this method work if i port Sam Galaxy Y Rom?
I've now had to edit two posts because of bad language and personally attacking another member. Needless to say, that is a violation of the rules and has no place in a thread discussing the porting of ROMs.
If you have any issues you want to discuss, PM me rather than cluttering up threads with nonsense. Thanks all for your cooperation.

THIS is the orginal rom's link.
Replace camera libs with fit's stock ones.
Replace HW libs
Replace PPP,wifi and vold.fstab from etc folder
MAIN PART: Resize the frameworks,systemui,dialer,phone, launcher,maybe something more too..
You have to resize every single png present in there!
Then change kernel from fit and you are done.
Read Feras's guide to port roms..its perfect for porting from ace,mini,gio to fit.
Bdw adityaf and Raj joshi are already trying to port it.

Guide to set up apktool (use apk multi tool for more functionality and easier GUI )
Things you will need: 7ZIP (or other compression tool), An unzipped rom and Notepad++
1. Download the Mod or Theme you wish to add and open it with 7ZIP.
2. Drag all of the folders/files EXCEPT Meta-INF into your rom's folder (copy and replace all of the files that have the same name)
3. In your Mod/Theme, open the updater script with Notepad++ (located in META-INF/com/google/android)
4. Copy all of the text in the Mods updater script and then paste it at the bottom of your rom's updater scipt (they're both in the same location).
5. Save it.
6. Done
I hope this guide will help save some time and enhance your roms (Also, please make sure to ask permission for the work you use!) :good:
