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

2.Then 19 ie. Porting Tools
3.Choose a then enter!
4.Choose the base rom !
5.Then choose the rom you wanna port!

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

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.

In framework-res.apk in system/framework folder
it will be in res/drawable-ldpi folder
In case you don't know to decompile an apk..just open it using winrar and navigate to that picture and extract it..
I know there are many Guides out there but most of them don't work for Pico!
so i decided to make one myself...
Things you will need installed on your PC
Notepad++
Winzip/Winrar
Q) What device should i port from?
A)These Devices are the Best!
Xperia S
HTC Sensation
HTC Sensation XL
HTC Desire
HTC Desire HD
Feel Free to try other devices
Base ROM and PORT ROM
Base ROM is what is Developed For Pico
Port ROM is what ROM you want to port for pico
Note: If you are porting a CM(PORT) which is ICS the BASE should Be cm9... same for JB
Now Let's start Porting!
Extract the BASE ROM to a Folder named Base
Extract the PORT ROM to a Folder named Port
Open Base ROM and go to system folder
DELETE "app,fonts,framework,media"
Open Port ROM and go to system folder
COPY "app,fonts,framework,media"
and paste it in System folder of the Base ROM
Open Port ROM and go to etc folder
Open Permissions Folder copy everything EXCEPT handheld_core_hardware.xml and platform
and paste it in the etc folder of the BASE ROM
Open Base ROM and go to system/etc/init.d folder
DELETE all files except 00banner
Open Port ROM and go to system/etc/init.d Folder
COPY everything Except 00banner
and paste it in the init.d folder of the BASE ROM
Now open build.prop And edit
ro.build.display.id=add what you want here
ro.modversion=add what you want here
Now open build.prop of PORT ROM and find
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
COPY there 3 lines and replace them in the BASE ROM's build.prop
Now Open updater-script
scroll down and find the lines starting with set_perm (there will be lots of them!)
Copy only those lines From PORT ROM's updater-script to BASE ROM's updater-script
If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORT rom than copy them to your base rom system folder.
Open updater-script from PORT ROM and copy all the set_perm lines and replace them with the lines in BASE ROM
To prevent bootloop copy
libandroid_runtime.so
libandroid_servers.so
libmedia_jni.so
from system/lib in PORT ROM and REPLACE it with the files in system/lib of BASE ROM
Now ZIP the ROM and flash it
If you have a error read second and third post
Thanks
Status error 7 : Remove some apk's from system/app
NOTE: Zip should be below 145 MB to flash!!
Set_perm error : check recovery log and you will get your answer I'm serious
symlinks failed error : clean install ROM - wipe dalvik cache**
reserved
Good
Well done.. good work

Personally.. Porting for me is :
Code:
adb logcat
Sad there is no mention of it.
Ps : Unpacked ROM should be less than 235 mb.. Zip size may vary.. but ultimately unpacked size is what we care about..
There is no particular method afaik. All "methods" fail at some point or the other. Nothing is foolproof.
Anywho :good:
Explain
How this guide is different from
Rishabhraj and dance off guide of porting rom ???
No disrespect intended !!!!!

I have made my new Custom Rom for Sony Xperia C but its base is "Xperia-Z-Ized","Dark Xperia Z2", "ME Rom" roms. I have edited a lot inside their compilation and have created a new rom having their all special properties and Also i have added many features inside it from my side. Can someone please tell me how can i change the Rom Name as displayed inside Settings>>>About Phone.

Also i tried to edit this file using "notepad ++" but after placing this kind of edited apk Settings is not opening in my Rom. please tell me how can i change Rom Name

you can't edit any files inside apk by using 7zip. to edit you have decompile the apk's.
use Advance apk tool which is made for xperia. Search on xda u will find it
That Worked
Thank you "Xenon1978" for helping me. The way was successful and I have changed the ROM NAME.... Yipeee thank you once again.
[Guide] Porting UI Apks
This is a small tutorial showing about porting UI Apps (Theming)
Necessary tools
-Apktool
-Copy-Paste Knowledge
-Root Explorer
-A little respect
Its very easy no need of development skills...
So lets start
Porting SystemUI.apk
Of a rom to another..
At first decompile ur Stock Systemui.apk and custom Systemui.apk which u wanna port.
Now find the folder in custom SystemUI.apk name "res" then open it and search for "drawable-hdpi" open it and you will see a lot of png image replace all them to your stock systemui.apk! If you find any xml file then don't copy them. Then recompile the modded stock SystemUI.apk and replace with original one by root explorer..
Porting framework-res.apk
Your device must be of the same resolution with the custom framework-res device (ex: qhd>qhd) .... If not then u may face dpi bugs.
decompile both stock and custom framework-res.apk.. Same as before find "res" open and find "drawable-hdpi" copy all the png to ur stock framework.. don't copy any xmls.. and recompile the modded stock framework-res.apk and replace with ur original by root explorer..
