I need help porting a rom. I'm wondering if its even possible, really. But if it is, I can't do it. I have tried numerous tutorials in the forums as well as multiple other sites, and have been working on this port for a couple days now. Don't call me crazy, but I'm trying to port a stock/rooted ics rom from the att galaxy note. I like the way it looks, and would love to have it on my device. Or at least the option to. So, my question is, would someone be willing to work with me one on one in porting this or porting it for me. I could donate when I get a job. Thanks in advance.

You can check my guide to port ROMs:

If Galaxy Note uses another CPU, it is not possible. Nexus S is ARMv7

The note is armv7 as well. I will certainly try your guide, though.

I can not for the life of me get my port to start flashing. I keep getting installation aborted with no error code. The first two times I was using cm9 rc2 as base, and the third time I used stock ICS as base. Still getting confused on the build.prop and updater-script. If you could give me more information on that or possibly do that part for me I would greatly appreciate it. I would of course do the rest myself. Thanks.

ive been working on this off and on for a while, and ive finally managed to get SlimICS to boot!!!
unfortunatly there are many major bugs...the biggest one: Launchers are not working so i cant test any apps
the status bar is working and i managed to enter settings through the status bar and was able to connect to my wifi network, however i can not actually test the internet as i can not access any apps
now that i have it booting though i will be devoting alot more time to it...and it looks like theROMinator and i may be working together on this one so hopefully we should have a stableish version up soon!
well. nobody tryed before because we didn't have any kernel that supported ics.. i don't know if jt's or entropy source kernels will work...

I heard its pretty easy to port aosp roms. This shows it lol. I may try it myself if it is reported working, makes getting aokp and others a lot easier.
That would be great. I am running slim on my captivate and really like it.

Its definatly not as easy as it sounded...first they wernt flashing at all, i manged to get them to flash...but now it sends me to a boot loop. I tried to read the logcat to see what was causing the bootloop and to my suprise...logcat isnt working!!!! Ill definatly put more time into this though, i am determined to get it to at least boot up!!!! No ETA though, this is the first time ive ever ported a rom...maybe i shouldve ported some gingerbread roms before i tried porting ics...

A lot of ics roms are beginning to pop up...and Ive gotten slim ics to flash however it bootloops. But I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is and after I pick up my sister from school I'll get back to working on it...if I'm right on what's causing the bootloops then we may have another ics rom coming our way

mg, I made a build of SlimICS, however. I had bootloops too. Let's collaborate on this.

i got it out of the bootloops!!!! but alot of stuff need fixing...i used the following guide to get it to where it is right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630237
wifi is connecting though cant really test it as the launcher that came with slim (ZEAM) isnt working) so i cant access any apps...i can get to setting through the status bar though and was able to connect to my wifi
gonna reboot and do some logcats and see if i can figure out whats going on
if you want, i can upload what i have and pm you a link if you want...get two guys working on the bugs at the same time
If you can get BT audio to work I am all up for helping with testing. Just need it because of local laws.

unfortunatly this is being ported using entropys latest CM9( build so whatever doesnt work on that will not work on here...)
i doubt i could even come close to fixing bluetooth...but once this gets more stable i may look into it...but once again the chances of me getting bluetooth are very poor, pretty much impossible...even our best devs have been unable to get bluetooth to work :/
Are you guys building from source?

@Nun No, just base porting.
@mg Hmm, did you use the 3.6base or essentials download as a base?

i used both! what i did was this:
got entropys latest cm9, deleted the app, media, fonts, framework folders
then i replaced the deleted ones with the ones in the 3.6 base
i then took the i9000 3.6 essentials and instead of copying the folders i copied the files to the apropriate folders
i then flashed itthe reason it was bootlooping earlier was because it was missing the libandroid_runtime.so
the problem with the launcher is there is still some stuff from the /lib directory needed...flashed one with all the .so from lib and launcher shwed up however touch screen wasnt working...so now to go those logcats and see which lib i need
I am not new to flashing roms on to my tab 2(gt-p3113) and in my search for the coolest most stable and fastest roms but as I searched around I could on find 2 developers CM I tryed there JB from but I don't like it kinda buggy after going through it then I looked again and I found that AOKP made a few roms for my device I am currently running there JB rom and I is OK but I dont like JB that much so now I come here to look and the same roms popped up but in older versions(and current) I want a completely custom rom like blu kuban( for epic 4g touch) thank you for any help

try saying all that again, but this time use your words. in english use punctuation marks as well.
Why is it so hard to get some good help on here most people are ass holes and the ones that give good advice no one even listens to them I did research I know most roms for my devices and I know how to flash I just wanted a rom that isn't JB based and to be custom

I am loving this paranoidkangdroid ROM and I wish there was another developer working on it. The current one is busy with other roms and whatnot so would really appreciate someone helping out and fixing some bugs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028248
and for those looking for new roms try it out. Only major problem right now is cant answer phone call with stock app due to dpi issue. I just downloaded an app from app store only to answer calls. Other than that, I think I would run this for a while. luv it.
You could run pacman and avoid that issue. It has all the kangs mixed.

naw i already ran pacman but this rom has some or more features i like more than pac man. Im willing to use an aftermarket phone app just to continue use this rom. you should try it out. and plz help!!
I have the note 2 with hellybean running on it. It's also cwm and cyanogen.
Now...I know so little about all if this. Keep that in mind as you read.
I went to install paranoid android a while back and somehow in the process I wound up with what appeared to be cyanogen as the OS on my phone. I didn't keep it long because I wanted to try out paranoid android.
I can't seem to get back to that.
So cyanogen mod, that's not a ROM? Is it firmware? A kernel?
Can I just get rid of hellybean and just run cyanogen? Because for the two minutes I was running it, looked pretty sweet.
Please jump on in and give me the scoop. Perry

Cyanogen Mod is a Rom And it uses its own kennel Some roms are based on cyanogen If you want to use pure cyanogen go to the official site n download it :thumbup:

Hey,
I am jumping the gun a bit but I was going to be getting involved in building custom roms for the S5 (once SS is available.) I figure I might as well start now and if we never get SS (I'm sure we will in due time) at least I will have started with getting experience.
I've searched the internet and found some great guides to building custom roms. I am not a total noob but am new to building roms.
I would like if you all could help me out and point me in a good direction on xda or the web for rom building information so I can give it a go!
Also, I would like it if you guys would comment as to what you look for in a custom rom (stock touchwiz of course) so I can begin researching different mods as well!
I know I look for a good theme with themed apks, adblock hosts, bloat removed, call recording mods etc..
Thanks for helping me out!

I'd like to mention I like roms that don't have apps that are built in and won't update at the play store.
Thanks all who have sent info so far! Im at work but I plan on setting up my build environment when I get home and taking the dive!
I'm thinking of using linux which I heard is better than Windows 7.. That sound about right?

My best advice is to google everything you don't positively know. Also look to use git for comparing apks. Git and meld are a great combo.

By the way there are already aosp roms being built for this device. Check out the unified development sub forum. Those roms should be able to run on this variant. hope this gives you some insight on the people to talk to if you run into issues.

Except that unless your device is a DevEd right now, you won't be able to as we have no SS or any way to add a rom...

also to add what kprice said.. without an unlocked bootloader SS will only be able to flash roms compatible with the kernel/bootloader we have which would mean only stock based roms.. other than that, if this ever changes id love to work on aosp roms!
