You want to port the stock ROM, CM, AOSP and MIUI to the Nexus 5 even though it already has it?
No idea what you're asking.

MIUI v6 is still in its infancy stages and is still being worked on. When its ready, it'll be available.
As what others have said, we have a difficult time understanding what you want. Usually on XDA, you can't request someone to port a particular ROM, especially when those ROMs are already existent on the N5.

What I'm really asking for is a up to update porting guide all of the ones here are out dated.
If you know of one that is up to update let know were it is.

They're not outdated though? Cm nightlies are being released every night. A port is when one particular subject doesn't exist but exists for another device (or whatever it may be) to have it for your device.
A port isn't needed because it exists already.
Cm nightlies are released every night.
No one uses a bare bone aosp build. All roms use aosp as a base regardless.
Miui is relatively new and is still in beta.

I think he's trying to say that he found a rom that he likes that is being built for a different device. He needs a guide to help him take that rom and port it to the nexus 5 so he can use it.
His example is MIUIv6, it's not developed specifically for this device so he'd like to try to port it using an updated 'How-to' porting guide.

[Q] Google Now for Froyo/Gingerbread

While ICS users enjoy Google Now, Why not make a port for the legacy Gingerbread and Froyo users? It isnt that hard, is it? This is XDA, come on guys!

There's no need for that mate. There are many stupid questions here, but calling someone stupid is just not necessary.
Wouldnt it need NFC as well?
My bad thinking of wallet...
Unfortunately Honeycomb and below is "dead" development, people are focused on doing more on ICS than anything.
When Eclair rolled out, development stopped on Cupcake and Donut, and now its quite hard to imagine someone still working on those old versions of Android. Well, looks like GB, HC, and Froyo is in that boat.
I suggest you get a new phone. (I need one too. I'm still stuck on gingerbread)

There was a Jellybean port to ARM6 devices tested on Galaxy Gio by some guy, Im sure we can make a Google Now port.
Well coming from a jelly beaned phone, you do need an arm7 and unfortunately, your phone doesn't have one. You can try porting it but it will come out with bugs.

OptimusLove,
This might make you feel better:

I think you would still need to get ICS on your device, but at least your ARM6 is being shown a little love.
I'm still holding out on a gingerbread port of it, though.
How to install Google Now on my rooted Tmobile Galaxy S2 ?
I'm having a T-mobile rooted Galaxy S2 running ICS custom ROM (Jedi Mind Trick V4). I wanted to install Google Now and I hope that is possible in my device. Can someone send me the link, where to look for it ?

I believe Google Now is JellyBean specific. However, it's up to the devs to have it in a flashable zip or apk format for ICS devices.

Yes, I agree Google Now is specifically for JB. But trying to find out if anyone has ported it to use with ICS.

Ewww...that's disgusting.
But as many people feel, I do not feel that someone will actually take the time to figure out how to do it. Do remember that the framework is VERY different. But I am not losing hope that someone....someone...will take the time and get this working. ICS is not as fast as GB on my phone. However, GNow is enough of a reason for my to flash ICS to my phone every few days.
(OG Evo 4G running Decks ICS - 7.09.12 build flashed with GNow)
So GNow is a ploy to get ppl to just buy new phones, that have ICS or better?
Well that's how I see it, the majority of ppl use gingerbread, why not cater to them gooooooooogle?? Its A shame they keep creating new os's like every year or so when phones last so much longer then that.
Offline dictation should of been available back back well there never should of been a connection dependent voice(voice search, dictation, voice anything from google) or w/e.

bump
Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 v2.8 was a daily driver with nearly zero faults (ir blaster wasn't working, but I didn't try any other kernels) on S4.
LS 4.4.2 was fairly buggy a month ago or so, just like any other 4.4.2 aosp rom (since most of them are based on CM anyway.)
Did they ever get to squash all of the bugs in the LS 4.4.2?

I'm testing a build from a few days ago and it's really solid. Latest build is fully functional minus the camera, which I believe isn't because of an issue, but because data took priority over camera as is to be expected, and is being addressed as we speak.
I can assure you they're hard at work constantly, but I'm not at liberty to provide an ETA for an initial stable build, so please don't ask. All I can say is that progress is faster than I anticipated, and AOSP, let alone LS is amazing on this device. Anything else, I'll say what I can so they can focus on developing further.
Has anyone tested the 4/16 Nightly?
EDIT: I tried to flash with TWRP 2.7.0.2 and get a Updater Script error, is it only working on CWM?
Can anyone answer my above question?

ROMs....

Hello Guys,
I made this thread to ask if anyone needs any rom or kernel which has a dead link. I have a 40gig folder which is full of stuff for the glacier, and since my glacier doesn't work properly, I was gonna delete it. I kept it though for now in case anyone needs anything from it.
I also have some unofficial roms ...(coughsoulsensecough).. lol.
Interested to see what that's all about, if u know what I mean (cough, nudge, cough) lol

The links should still be up for the recent roms, if you can find a dead link I'll upload it
I would love to see what you have in your stash. I was just given this device, and there's not much current development happening. I've heard of a certain Rom *cough* that I haven't been able to find, and I would also like the scoop on what kernels are out there. Almost every Rom I try, I keep running into the same issues. IE: lag and graphic glitches.

[DEV-ONLY] Android L Port

Hi guys,
First I must begin by saying that I am not a developer. However, using this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008) thread, I have managed to "port" Android L to the One, though I have no clue if it even boots. There are a few problems that need to be discussed:
1) AOSP ROMs are around 400 mb? This one is 900+ mb.
2) When I was zipping the ROM, I saw Prism.apk was also in it, and a heck lot of other HTC related things.
3) Will the current kernel for KitKat work smoothly on L?
Anyway, this is my first step to being a potential developer and hope you all get excited for this. I do have one request though, if I can get a few devs to work with me on this, we can get to new heights on our One.
You can download the zip I created here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4JA1Kc3xlxiZUw2XzNzM1NKMVU/edit?usp=sharing
DISCLAIMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED.
Thanks in advance,
the playa!
Can you attach the Build.prop file?
If you're going to post it at least try it yourself first man, this could brick everyone's device.

Did you miss the [Dev-Only] in the title? Every flash on your device could brick it if you aren't careful, nothing unique with this build. If you don't want to risk it, don't flash. Simple as that.

But as far as I remember, I did not do anything to it. The base ROM that I used was a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM and the port ROM I used was the system dump from Android L, if that helps.

Okay fine, all I'm saying is there's already a thread on this in the general section so its almost pointless to post something else if it hasn't even been tested or is just like the other. There's already work being done on this...

Im not a dev just a general user but I don't think we should be creating these types of threads if you don't know what you're doing. Let the real devs do their work if it was as easy as following a copy/pasting port guide every device would already have a l build. Just be patient and eventually a nice dev will maybe make some magic happen for us.

This ROM will not work, period. The reason is because you did not follow step 1 of the guide which states quite clearly:
"Take any clean CM9, AOSP, CM7, CM10, CM11 ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM."
Now, don't know about you but I do not think a stock deodexed Sense 6 ROM counts as any of those mentioned in step 1... that is why you are seeing HTC things in the ROM.

no man, you can not do this because we have not a base for L! so it should be ported compiling source and fixing bug and issues...is not a thing that you find in a guide
estabien said:
I think your best bet would be to download the Nexus 5 sources and then do some "patchwork" with HTC One libs and whatnot, when needed. The good thing is that they are both at the same resolution and have similar specs.
And after you're done with that, you should be able to build with a couple of adjustments to various build-related things.
EDIT: Also, there will probably be issues with kernels? so you'll have to work through that also.

You can't be patching and copy/pasting libs. No zip modding when it comes to porting big base changes
You'll need to decompile and redo your ramdisk etc. And like jonny said you can't be using sense and gpe parts

Android L Keyboard in Play Store
I just wanted to note that there's a third-party application "Android L Keyboard" by Shen Le in the Play Store which I've been using on the latest CM11 nightlies that works great.
I understand that's not the point of this project but I just wanted to make sure other users are aware. Also, it's kind of scary to have to trust that a keyboard from the Play Store isn't logging and reporting your keystrokes but that's another issue entirely... anyways I added a screenshot, good luck with the project!
:good:
Thread has been closed at OP's request,
Many thanks,
