Sorry in advance if this should be in Q&A (mod please move if inappropriate) but my question has to do with development so....
Anyway.. was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any guides or helpful threads that would help teach me how to port a rom. I am wanting to start to learn how to make custom ROMS and figured this would be a good place to start as the heavy lifting has already been done by the real devs...
Specifically looking to port lets say a nexus S rom for use with the NS4g for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like so much good is coming from the Nexus S section, that I would like to help bring it to the 4g side.

Yes, I know. Me too as well, but there's no guides on porting or I just can't find any. If anyone knows any guides on porting, point us fellows in that direction. thanks!
Man... kinda sux... no one can help at all?
First, this belongs in Q & A, hence no answer , second, it should be pretty easy, nandroid, switch out rild, and rils, make correct edits to build prop, and a kernel for ns4g and you should be good to go.
Are there any guides out there that perhaps detail this process a little bit, I would like to start porting some ns roms over to ns4g. I followed the steps provided by the previous post, and got most everything booting for the new miui rom with ICS however the wifi still doesn't work and it will not allow me to flash a different kernel as afterwards it refuses to boot. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi everyone. I just got stuck in the moto bootloop. in a panic i downloaded the first sbf i could find for defy+. now it is the chinese rom. no market, no blur, anything like that. can't get the market to work. I need to find the stock Australian Telstra sbf or any sbf that is close enough that will run as normal with market etc. If anyone could help I would greatly appretiate it. Desperate as this is a mate's phone and I was attempting to help him out with getting rid of all the bloatware on it.

here you go mate: http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:defy
hope this will help you find what you need...if you don't mind losing ability to go back to froyo or bright buttons you might also consider flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385868 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
cheers
If you want less blur apps try blur based rom's like motoginger II:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389726
If you want NO blur go for CM7
You can always use baseband switcher if data doesn't work.
But why post this in dev section???
THANK YOU!
Hi there thanks so much for the quick replies. Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I panicked and thought this would be the best place as it has to do with roms. Typical noob I am. Please if admin could relocate this post to the correct section that would be great. Ended up fixing my mates phone before he realised what happened. Note to self: do not assume that if it works on defy it will also work on defy+; research first don't know what I would do without the xda site/forum. Saved me on many occasions.
I had recently flashed the latest cm 11 snapshot M9 on my galaxy note 2 (n7100) everything's good but i get slow 3G connection speed. I had chosen prefferd network to 3G but it doesn't help. And sometimes it comes only (h) and sometimes (h+). When it comes only (h) its slow at that time. So somebody can tell me how to put that permenantly to (h+). I had no problem using my 3G in stock ROM but in this ROM its very difficult. Plz help me.
Regards,
Shivank

Hello team XDA, I currently using android 4.4.4. I have a problem with tied notification and ringtones volume setting.
I found that in custom ROM or using xposed, I can split noticaiton and ringtones volume setting. but I want to learn how to add that mod manually (maybe by modding system.ui or framework.res) to separate/unlink notification and ringtones volume setting. but so far my googling and searching hasn't give me the answer. maybe my keyword is wrong. perhaps your team can help me to the right path.
Thank you very much for your attention, time and future help.
Hi,
We need your device details to point you in the right direction for help.
Usually it's not an option in stock roms, so you may need to create a mod yourself, or use a close to stock Rom that has the option already.

ah, yes so sorry. I forgot to mention it. currently I'm using LG Google Nexus 4, running on android kitkat 4.4.4.
Yes I've been using some custom rom, but stock rooted rom suits me more. well hopefully I can mod it myself manually without 3rd party apps.
thanks
I see you know where your device section is then.
Good luck, and thread closed.

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.
Regards.
EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

About the play services thing, you can't do anything except flashing a custom ROM without gapps (if you wanna uninstall play services). About the problem you mentioned that you cannot root or install custom ROM, what exactly is the issue? Please exaggerate the problem. Good luck!

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.
Thanks

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

I have many questions with this bootloader. I'm new to this things. Sorry. Btw I have the J700F J7(2015) model.
1. Is there any way to know if my phone is in locked bootloader or unlocked?
2. I'm planning to install the Pixel Experience rom and I've read that i must unlock the bootloader first. I know that I must be from stock rom. Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.
Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow

How hard would it be to port a ROM built for the J700 F/H/M to the J700T?
