[Cook]Porting Section XIP - Windows Mobile ® Standard - All Device

Hi All
I create new Thread - Porting Section XIP
to help understand the structure of porting the kernel
all questions, please ask in this topic
------------------------------------------------------
Step: 1
If you have extract xip (file - xip.bin)
Create two folders:
-Old_XIP
-New_XIP
*Copy files from Porting_Kernel_Tools.zip to: Old_XIP and New_XIP
*Copy xip.bin, from your device to Old_XIP
*Copy xip.bin, from another device to New_XIP
In both two folders using XiPPort.exe, extract the files xip.bin - create OUT Directory and Packages
Sample Location Directory:
Old_XIP:
Old_XIP/OUT/FILES/
Old_XIP/OUT/MODULES/
Old_XIP/Packages/FILES/MSXIPKernel
Old_XIP/Packages/FILES/MSXIPKernelLTK
Old_XIP/Packages/FILES/OEMXIPKERNEL
New_XIP:
New_XIP/OUT/FILES/
New_XIP/OUT/MODULES/
New_XIP/Packages/FILES/MSXIPKernel
New_XIP/Packages/FILES/MSXIPKernelLTK
New_XIP/Packages/FILES/OEMXIPKERNEL
*If you have, the more directories in Old_XIP, they must remain
Step: 2
Now you must replace files in New_XIP/OUT from Old_XIP/Packages:
PARTHDR.txt
ROMHDR.txt
FILES/OEMXIPKERNEL
MODULES/OEMXIPKERNEL
*If you have, the more directories in Old_XIP, you must to replace
*Remember - you must to replace the file imgfs.dll
Step: 3
Run program "XIPAddrTools.exe", click "Sel Work Folder" and select folder New_XIP
Now we have to change the following addresses, so that there was no red line, between modules
Step: 4
In the step, you must only packing new xip

You must moved a file, not basic, preferably from OEMXIPKERNEL, to OEM(OS Image)

is it possible just to port 6.5 kernel to official 6.0 ?

possible

Script updates HTC_IME.apk and changes alternative symbol on "f" (currency symbol).
You can change it to every symbol you like to have. Updatefiles put "€" -symbol on keyboard.
What is to do?
Download & extract zip-file
If you´d like to have "€"-Symbol on keyboard and your language settings have no proper files (or you are german):
Goto 5.
If you´d like to have "€"-Symbol on keyboard and your language settings have proper files:
Zip-file contains proper qwerty_COUNTRYCODE.xml and land_qwerty_COUNTRYCODE.xml in CountryFiles folder. Search your ones and change this line in both files:
Code:
<key codes="0x0066" label="f" topLabel="[COLOR="Red"][B]€[/B][/COLOR]" popupCharacters="@string/alternates_for_f_lower" accentType="3" alignIndex="0" xt9idx="13" />
copy files to \UpdateKeyboard\res\xml-hdpi\*.*
Goto 5
If you´d like to have "MySymbol"-Symbol on keyboard change \values\strings.xml in folder UpdateKeyboard\res\values and change
Code:
<string name="alternates_for_f_lower">[COLOR="Red"][B]MySymbol[/B][/COLOR]</string>
Do the same with above specified line in land_qwerty.xml and qwerty.xml in \UpdateKeyboard\res\xml-hdpi\*.* Or edit proper settings files like in 3.
run tiwili_ws.bat
Strings.xml is for "what happens while pressing".
Files in xml-hdpi are for the right look.
As always: I´m not responsible for any damage etc. If you want to go back run recovery.bat.

[DEV][LINUX] CM9 Build Script

Hey all,
First I would like to say this is not my work this is based off Nicandris's CM from scratch script (forum here).
This bash/sh script builds CM9 from source and is only to be used once the build environment and sources have been downloaded correctly. So far I have only tested this with my Galaxy Nexus on Mint 12 but it should work with other devices and on other distros.
Instructions:
1. Download the provided zip and extract it, then place "build.sh" in the "~/bin" directory (/home/user/bin).
2. Then open up "build.sh" using a text editor like gedit and edit the variables to suit your environment, EXAMPLE :
Code:
#Variables Start
#Enter Device Vendor Here eg "moto" or "samsung"
vendor="samsung"
#Enter Device Name Here eg "maguro" or "toro"
device="maguro"
#Enter Build Source Here (Usually "/home/user/android)"
source="/home/kstarz/android"
#Enter Folder Where You Want Builds To Be Stored eg "/home/user/Desktop/Builds"
build_location="/home/kstarz/Desktop/Builds"
#Enter Source For AndroidSDK eg "/home/user/androidsdk"
sdk_source="/home/kstarz/Programs/androidsdk"
#Enter Location Where The Build Will Be Sent To On Your Device
push_to_phone="/sdcard/Download"
#Enter Your Name/Nickname (For Modversion)
nick="kstars"
#Variables End
3. Then open up a terminal and give the file permission to be executed as a program:
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/build.sh
4. Close that terminal and open up a new one then enter the code below to start the script.
Code:
build.sh
The rest is up to you

Boot Control is an Android app that toggles the active boot slot.
Notes
It uses the same HIDL interface as bootctl to read the data and make the change.
Credits
@badabing2003 for the idea and for testing the many builds of both the app and bootctl

Why such a drastic difference between SC and APK?

The size of the source code has basically zero bearing on the size of the APK. As for why the APK is so large, I can sum that up with a link to one line in the app's build.gradle file.
The longer explanation is R8 breaks HIDL for some reason. I tried a variety of ProGuard rules with no luck. If I build it with Soong instead of Gradle it works fine, but it can't be installed on older devices. I may have been able to find a workaround for the latter issue, but it's much more convenient to build it with Gradle. Beyond that, the Soong build had issues with the Java HIDL interface, so I had to make a C++ library for HIDL and use JNI to interface with that, making the whole thing a bit more complex.
The broken minified Gradle build is ~8mb and the limited Soong build is ~14mb.

@capntrips
On p6, you need to disable verity (but not verification) in vbmeta on both slots to get Boot Control to switch slots without getting a corruption message.
Can the tool be modified to perform this task?
