[Q] MIUI , what if ...

Hi guys
I would appreciate if someone [dev] can give me some answers on this ...
Now that we have full CWM , thanks to the devs [@gtg465x]
How about following instructions to flash lastest MIUI for Galaxy S I9000 , using the actual installation guide > http://j.mp/iZSjlh , and try this ROM on the Infuse
Is the Galaxy S I9000 the closest phone [specs] we can have to try this ?
Some step(s) in that guide to be replaced or skipped ?
Worth to try it?
Would it work ?
Would I brick the phone?
I if brick it , would I still be able to un-brick using ODIN [back to factory]
TIA

Would be very interested in this as well, but not enough to try bricking my phone .

I wouldn't try it.
Just because the partition layout of the original Galaxy S is the same as our device, it does not mean the kernel is compatible.
The current roms are all based on the stock kernel and do not change any of the core of how the device works. We still have TouchWiz built in and won't be changing that until we have custom kernel built and working on this device.
On the other hand, we can flash back to stock with Odin, so you won't completely fubar your phone if you try.

Your right about kernel compatibility , so 1st step not using speedmod kernel [used @ guide]
But I would like to know if the native MIUI kernel used @ the galaxy S is like a "modded kernel" they used to port that rom .. or if its a kind of "universal kernel" ?? . I dont know if Im making myself clear

If the partition layout changes, cannot promise Odin will fix it. Pit, boot.bin and sbl.bin pulled from a phone to flash will most likely cause a hard brick. We need a leaked one-click, or some very crazy testers willing to brick phones left and right to test that. I don't recommend it.

Not a problem. When a new phone comes out....here's what happens:
1. Root
2. SBF/ODIN
3. CWM recovery
4. Psuedo ROMs based on stock.
5. Source Code drops.
6. Custom kernels (w/CWM built in)
7. Ports for MIUI/CM7/Sense/etc.
In 3 weeks, the community as a whole has completely done steps 1-5. (Usually takes a couple of months).
Next big focus has to be custom kernels. I helped out with some of the initial stuff for CM7 on Captivate before I bought an Atrix, then the Infuse. I'm going to be doing alot of reading and trying to learn alot more about git. Then I will be able to look into kernels. Team Whiskey had some guys working on a kernel with CWM + VooDoo lagfix written up...but I havent heard anything in a few days. So....be patient, its coming! .

Very interesting info , thanks for sharing , didn't know the order of these steps to follow ..
We are closer then ! cool , cant wait to run MIUI @ Infuse

Like others said, we will need a custom kernel for MIUI. However, the Infuse is very similar to the original Galaxy S. I bet it would be really easy to port 2.2.1 Galaxy S ROMs. They would probably boot right up and work fine if you just remove the kernel from them and swap out a few files (ril, camera libs, key layouts).

Hey I have one theme in mind, can you give me the details of these files?
(Wait do themes even mess with these files?)
Key layouts I got...
Camera libs? where are those located?
ril? what is that and where?
Thanks much appreciated.

I'm used to HTC devices so I can't tell you the exact names of the ril and camera libs on a Samsung device without looking, but they will be in /system/lib. You may also have to swap a few files in /system/etc. Just takes research and then trial and error. I suggest grabbing a GS 2.2.1 ROM, removing the kernal (and modem if that's included) (will have to remove corresponding parts of updater-script as well), and then flashing. Adb logcat will help you to debug and fix issues from there.

Hell id donate an InFuSe to a miui dev that would make it happen!
I run miui on my Desire HD and wont use anything else, ever...
Sent from my SAMSUNG InFuSe using XDA Premium App

Once we get kernel source and a working CM7 build for it, my team is able to port MIUI to it
Well... once we get a device that is
We have been looking for a new device to port MIUI to. If there is enough demand for the Infuse 4G we'll pick one up.
If you guys manage to get it ported we'll create a device forum for you and host your roms, etc. If you need porting help/advice, or just want to talk about MIUI, join our IRC channel #miui-us on Freenode (details in my signature) and look for someone with a + in front of their name (those are the developers).
Anyway, hope to see you guys running MIUI soon!

Now this is what im talking about. If you guys have stuff to test ill snag it up and try it. Cant write but I can install it and test for ya. Not really scared to brick it. Plus its insured. Anyway good luck cant wait for it!!!

Are there any good guides/articles to learning how to create custom roms and whatnot?
I'm a software developer and while I've never done anything related to kernals/operating systems normally I'm able to pick up stuff quick and I think learning about stuff like this for Android phones would be awesome. I just really have no idea where to start at.

Would you or one of the other devs be willing to post an intro guide or something in order to help get more developers here?
I know you guys are probably busy working on your roms as well as work/school/doing other things, but it probably wouldn't take too long to make a short intro to help us get started. That way we could hopefully get some more devs around here.
I've been reading others guides and posts about it and I could probably do at least a little work from the start based on what they say is involved in making a rom, but the biggest problem for me is not knowing how to get going. It seems like you need an android kitchen to do a lot of the work but all of the kitchens look like they are phone specific so I don't want to try using one if those on the infuse. Maybe they aren't, but info like that to help us get our feet wet would be extremely helpful.

Seems like you need to do a lot of research before you're ready to do anything with your phone. I would start with going to your specific devices thread and read all the stickies, guides and info that you can get your hands on. Then you might be ready to start into your device.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to get you to realize what it takes to mod your device. And keep in mind that only you are responsible for your device, so understanding everything before you start is the best practice.

Do we really need forum here?

Guys wat is this...????for discussing official updates and stocks things do we really need a forum for us????
Wat crappy locks will this phone has and let we break those bricks first then will build all....
Things that developed for xperia L so far....
No proper Cwm recovery like other phones
No proper tweaked custom rom
No cm roms
No easy flushable mods
Only experts will use customization and if other tries will landup in bootloader or some error which is because of we didn't have basic things for customization properly...
Still people are fighting for official updates and scolding Sony...
Come on guys we really have to work hard to get things....
Please devs working on this try to get the basic things first because only experts can flash and install things now and that is the situation here...
We need proper Cwm recovery and nandroid backup, flash method first (should be simple like on other phones)
Guys this is my suggestion and I worked hard and got basic things to work properly for grand quattro and those guys are enjoying my roms and ports, tweaks etc which is lack here since so many months....so considering basic things first will improve the development of Xl otherwise we will stuck here itself...
So please discuss the flaws so far wat we have and how to get those...
This thread is for guys who really put their ideas forward for development on xperia L...thanks for reading this and dont just read this.
Sent from my C2104 using Tapatalk 2

Guys please don't make this thread to die and everybody should post their ideas here....and all words are important here and now for development of Xl....
Leave on begging for 4.3 updates and make it beautiful on wat we have...thus is wat every phone users are doing there and lacks here.

From what i read,we need proper kernel for CM.Now devs wait for sony to release 4.2 kernel sources and then they will port it to CAF base kernel.After that we will have CM and all the development will start,like porting miui and ubuntu touch.
Don't know what you mean for CWM and what expert things are needed to flash some .zip's,but I'm using vengeance kernel and all work correct. If you mean CWM for locket bootloader,then you need to know that they try to make it,but there is an bug in kernel and CWM is unusable for LB.

Is that custom recovery fully working like nandroid backup etc?
Is there any way that I can flash Cwm recovery easily after I unlock the bootloader...No this is wat we have to concentrate....people who are new to Sony will always brick their phones on flashing these due to complicate procedure...so first it should made easy for every one.

Don't know for nandroid backup (but I'm sure its working),will test it for you tonight and report.
Sony phones don't have stock recovery and we need to include it in kernel ramdisk(or for LB in system).So all the custom kernels got CWM recovery buildin.And on your question "Yes" after you unlock your phone you just need to download custom kernel that you like and flash it on your phone.Then when the phone start you only need to press volume down key and you will go to CWM(you know what to do after that ).
How i see you are new to sony,so i will tell you how to flash a custom kernel.
You got two ways:
Manual with fastboot
And Flashtool(recommended for new users)
First way you will need fastboot drivers(there are some .zip's that include only fastboot drivers other way is to install all the SDK)
On windows you will need to open command prompt and need to navigate to fastboot drivers,like "cd C:\fastboot".You will need to paste boot.img in the folder with the drivers (C:\fastboot).Then you only need to tipe in command prompt this "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and in 2-3 seconds flash will finish.
Second way with flashtool is simpler and for that i recommend it.
Download and install flashtool,then go to C:\Flashtool\Drivert and install drivers that you need(if you dont have them).After that just open flashtool,click on the "thunder" icon and chose "Fastboot mode".Then click on "Select kernel to flash" find your kernel and click "ok".After 2-3 seconds you will see the log that tells you flash was Successful.

I think that this is against the XDA rules...

At least research a little before you start posting such rants. We do not have the level of devs that can produce the stuff on their own(like S2's devs wrote drivers from scratch after Samsung denied to go open source with Exynos), I didn't expect anything when buying Xperia L, I've been in big communities like Galaxy S2, owned it for a year. And we bought Sony's phone, we have to be reliant on them to provide sources, 4.2.2's first build is just out, I don't think Sony will release kernel sources until they release a bug-free build, and the Devs who're up for CM wouldn't want to develop CM10 just to please you for a week or two then start CM10.1 when Sony releases kernel sources.
And it's not hard to unlock a bootloader and install Kernels. This is my first sony device, I know how easy it is in Samsungs, and Samsung attracts a lot of customers in India, more than Sony, so the development has to be more, you can't compare the development of two devices. This is just a pathetic thread. It just shows that you *expect* the devs here to work for said phone, let me tell you, this is a free society, it's upto devs whether they want to work or not.
We have forums because there were numerous requests in the new forum for device thread (Or whatever it is called). You bought the phone, that is it. It isn't the responsibility of the devs here to provide you with the goods you want to see.
And please, write in proper coherent English, it's flashing not flushing. Sony's all devices have locked bootloader, should've researched before buying.

Then why don't you develop something. Stop complaining and do something. It will make us and you happy.
Btw. we have fully working CWM and custom rom. Don't get what is your problem.

Complaining and whining about what your phone does or does not do is NOT WHAT XDA IS ABOUT.
Good advise has been given.

Can we get <this> for the XL? (CM for Locked Bootloaders)

This thread explains everything. Is it possible to use this workaround to get CM11 working for us without unlocking the bootloader? (Even though Rachit Rawat, [NUT] and dj2tusk have found another workaround.

If someone can do that, it will be fantastic! :victory:
Unfortunately I can't unlock bootloader of my xperia l, and if this is possible then it's the only way for me to have cyanogenmod! :fingers-crossed:

They found a way to get CWM on the phone, but not running custom ROM's with a locked bootloader, so if this could be adapted, it would be cool, but their work has nothing to do with this.

Hey.
The trick is really simple. We load cm ramdisk by patching any script which is executed by init. For example /system/bin/nfc_check.
However there's one catch. Since we can't change the core zimage, the stock zimage should be compatible with cm android version. 4.1.2 = cm10 in case of Xperia S. Thus it is safe to assume that cm10.1 can be booted on L. Only thing we've to worry about are the graphic drivers. Infact, Sony 8255 device kernels could run stock, cm9, cm10, cm10.1. Android sdk version was determined by busybox GREP and ramdisk was loaded accordingly.
I'll let you know when I chalk out my plans.

E-Ceros One Smartphone Stock Rom

I found the following site with links to the stock firmware for the E-Ceros One smartphone. Not too sure if it actually works though, too scared to mess up my phone. However if it is the correct rom then we could use this to start developing custom roms for this phone.:good:
The website is as follows:
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2014/07/download-e-ceros-one-android-422-jelly.html
***UPDATE***
It would seem that the Ulefone and the E-Ceros one are the same other than the ram. Also this phone already has a kitkat update so might be a worthwhile start for developing a custom rom for this phone.
Still a noob so going to try start rom development and learn as I go.
***UPDATE***
See Post #100 for Kitkat rom for E-Ceros.

Yeah got this phone . Has anyone updated it to kit kat.

It can be easily rooted with vroot. So a recovery would be great too to flash a custom ROM if someone could put one together, it would be amazing !

I used MTKDroidTools to load clockworkmod recovery onto mine. Now busy extracting the stock rom and then I'm going to try develop kitkat for it. Hopefully I can get it right.

Very good and cwm loaded OK with that? How did you root? Your working on a ROM wish you all the best with it !

I used V-root to root, but this didnt satisfy MTKDroidTools, so I used the root function in MTKDroidTools to root it. CWM loads perfectly and works well. Can make backups etc without a hassle, only the CWM app doesn't recognise the device and so you need to tell it you manually loaded it. Thanks! Gonna need it, will be my first rom I'm working on so lets hope it goes well. Will probably just port the stock rom to someother already developed rom.

Thanks for that info and good luck

Haha yeah, although dunno if I did something wrong or if there's not much different cause I couldn't see any changes after installing it. Used one of those programs on the forums which helps you port roms. Or maybe I just installed it wrong Either way, looking more into it now. lol

Sure keep trying is all you can do !

Yup. And I have a working rom!!! Running MIUI now, seems stable. Will test run it for a little longer and then put up the ROM
Thanks to helloansuman from en.miui.com for his great guide. This will hopefully help me to port more roms. Anyways, lets hope the rom is polished.:good::good:

MIUI is ok, not my first choice of rom but it was the easiest. I'd rather have paranoid android rom or CM. But since it is my first rom port I'm feeling rather chuffed with myself. Now to try port something more serious.

Not knocking your work at all its a thousand times more than I have done. Congrats
