I have a small question for you devs out there.
When porting a ROM, (say CM or PA or PAC etc..) on what basis do you decide the device from where you're gonna port? I mean, for example, lets take the case of my Xperia E. If I want to port a ROM to it, a ROM that is available for, say Xperia J and Xperia Tipo. Which device's ROM should I go for?
Theoretically, I should use the Tipo ROM cuz its MDPI, right? But practically, what runs on J (HDPI) has more chances of running on E (MDPI). But then, J and E have massively different DPI. But then again, what could exactly go wrong if don't resize (each and every 9.png in each and every apk) it to MDPI? I mean, does it matter?
I hope you understand my uhmm.. dilemma.
P.S : I don't mean only Xperia devices, the above example was hypothetical. I just want to know what to look for when choosing the ROM.
Regards,
KDB
Im not a rom porter, but i think u should use J as ur port rom.
Also u dont need to resize system apps, just need to resize framework thingy.
That all is just my theory. idk if its true.

Developers do not port roms. Ever!
Only copy/paste themers and the like that plague this forum with their rubbish roms do ports.
If you want to learn to compile roms then learn the correct way, compile from source. No point in learning rubbish.

Well sir... Only Those kind of rubbish guys are available for xperia E.. No great developers are there working for xE..
Except hsr0
Hope you will do something that a real developer will do for E.

@KDB223 great going bro... Well ask @lozohcum hocum about it.. He does great ports..
thank you......

I think a Tipo base would be best. A similar processor + the same screen is better than the same processor + a completely different screen.
Do some research. Find device with same base - processor, screen size, ARM arch, camera, msm base
Here is the example:
Xperia J + Huawei 8818
According to GSM Arena, the Xperia Tipo has the Qualcomm MSM7225AA chipset while the Xperia E has the Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon chipset, and the Xperia J with a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon too.
Judging by these, the Xperia J and Xperia E seem similar, but, as rightly said by @NSDCars5 , they have massive differences in resolution.
And the chipset of Tipo and E seem pretty similar to me...what do you think @lozohcum ?? (I didn't quite get what you meant by "msm base" )
Hey, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus has the exact same chipset, screen size and RAM as the E. Only the camera is slightly better (5MP with flash). Yeah, not an Xperia, but maybe we can port from that?

Why? What's wrong with Samsung?
Don't port from samsung devices. Samsung sucks and can brick your phone.
Try to port a simple rom (try with ShenduOS, it's not hard to port it) from J to E and see if it works, do the same with Tipo.
But I think Huawei 8818 is better option for E, compare it to E

I find the Huawei to me more like the J (7227A, HDPI).
Miro can also be a good base, right?
Can anybody tell me, what exactly is wrong with Samsung?

You just made that up. Pure fabrication and no truth to it at all. It's no different to porting from any other manufacturer.
Well I think @lozohcum has good porting experience and he wouldn't lie.. So there must be something.. Although I don't exactly know..
thank you......

Samsung has different Phone.apk bools (settings) which may lock your phone. (this is why I wrote tutorial about correct way of porting to prevent sim locking).
And we aren't always able to change these settings because of popular error while recompling phone.apk from various roms.

How many roms have you ported? how many have you compiled from source?
Stop your abusive way of trating other people, it's annoying that you think you're smarter and better than other people because you are not.
you are vicious.

Let the man talk abusive and offensive if he wants. Lets just ignore him. We're to good to respond to his malicous talk. Plus it's almost new year(at my country at least). Time to be joyous and forgiving.
Perhaps time to go on-topic?
Anyway, happy new year.
Hmmmm...actually porting HDPI rom to MDPI rom is quite easy...HDPI rom work fine in MDPI devices, you just have to edit/resize the app icon to fit on MDPI devices...the system UI, the framework will work find without so much editing....the main important on porting rom is the Dev files...that is what going to make your rom working properly or not...

For this, I thank you. Finally I get an explanation.
Does this mean that other manufacturers (say, LG) have same booleans as us? Just curious.

I thought S7500's was the same case as S5830's regarding the "L" thing...
In S5830L it means it's distributed in Latin America, but hardware is the same as S5830. The official CM for Galaxy Ace (cooper) is for S5830. I still have S5830L, installed CM on it and it worked. Only thing is, it changed the device name from S5830L to S5830. And also I asked that because since I live in Latin America the only Ace Plus I can get is S7500L.
Are you actually porting from Xperia instead of building?
And where can I find the S7500L kernel repository you ask?
thats change in build.prop u can make again L
and without kernel mods it may work on ur mob
So, if this ends working all, can you make one for S7500L? Or can I just use the current one one for L?

hey i said 100 times im releasing a rom based like xperia
you get me huuuh
its not cm10
cm10 later will take much time
update im taking a risk im gonna create a kernel that has posiibility to boot as well as brick
will update again in 2days
Since Mini 2 is running on the same chip, the kernel for Mini 2 is also compatible with Ace Plus. I just needs an updated defconfig.
Someone on Ace Plus do:
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
Upload the file somewhere and post the link here. I will make a defconfig so you can build kernel.
ohh thanx bro
wait for 2 days

What "official sources" do you need in order for CM10 kernel to support overclocking? (I could use my time to look for it since I'm just a useless user....)
That'd be an almost imperative feature, and if you say "make it yourself and f*** off", well, sorry for not being developers like you (registration on this site should be restricted to dev-only...); or also that's why you *are* the devs and are announcing this possible work so we are indeed allowed to expect things from you...
Or, sorry for not being A D U L T devs like you. I can't express what I think about most of adults (most, not all) here because of the forum rules......

I have a question ! Thanks !! You are the best man in the world !!
It is safe? Serves everything else except for the camera, video recording and FM radio? , Can be connected to the PC and transfer data? . How about performance, it's good? The battery it´s working good ?? How about lenguage , I´m mexican and I don´t séañ veryu good English
And the memory, it´s good ?
I doubt it, but the camera work by downloading an application from the play store?
Thanks !!
Bootloop? or just long setup time
Hi, just installed the rom from rooted stock with cwm recovery, to find myself sitting at the cyanogenmod boot animation for around 10 mins. does the system do this on first boot, have i missed a step, or have i messed installation up some other way?

Here you are.
Thanks, that link worked. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot and didn't RTFM. GSM doesn't work on the dual-sim model. If anyone knows a way to get this ROM or another kit-kat ROM working with GSM on the C1605, please let me know. In the meantime I downgraded to CM10.
Have you identified what is causing the camera bug?Is it framework or library package?
Is there any other camera app that works with cm 11?

Sorry for my bad English. I'm from the Netherlands haha.
I really do hope that someone can help me and many other L Bello users to get Cyanogenmod!

Yeah, but even so, stock ROM has this strange habit of closing my apps such as Viper for Android. Hearing music jump from crappy quality to good quality and vice versa is so annoying that I'm thinking about buying any Samsung device just to quench my disappointment.

That's the problem I sadly realized after buying this phone. Almost ZERO ROMS are released for LG. Damn you LG, your bloatware is annoying. The only nice feature would be the knock code, which does not always work.
