Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry to say it, but you'll have the same problems as with the 2.1 porting...: the drivers for the camera, sensors, FM radio, etc....

you are brave!
i hope you will be a winner
Guys, I'm confident that we can at least look at the source of 1.6 Tattoo regarding the camera and port it to the new Kernel...I won't stop researching until a decent ROM is created by all of us!
First I will download the source code of the tattoo ROM, then I will build a VM featuring Ubuntu and get all necessary dev-tools to decently start programming that son of a b****!

I belive in you!...You can do it!
If there is source code for HTC's 1.6 camera drivers, then it should be easy to port those drivers for 2.1 or 2.2, even if the Android has changed. It's more easy than reverse engineering binary drivers, no?
We just don't have a man who can (or want) to do it.
I have a problem...I wanted to unpack the boot.img file, but unfortunately the structure of this update.zip seems to differ a lot from the normal update packages...this one seems to patch most files, which unfortunately means that there's no way to start this thing up on our Tattoo's, or am I wrong?

If you flash the original Nexus One 2.1 rom, and the nexus one recovery image, then you should be able to flash this...
Yeah, but I don't think the Nexus One recovery image will work on my phone...this smells like bricking the phone hard
use the modaco one. but i can't find a way to not flash the radio.img . i remove it from update-script but the i can't get rid off the syntax error can't figure out why.
I hope you ALL will be winner

I know this sounds stupid, but did u resign the zip file after deleting radio.img or did u just deleted the img file from the zip and update-script? I'll resign it and then check - anything else I have to pay attention to? I saw again a patchfile for the recovery image, I hope it does not brick my good Amon_RA one...
/Edit: doesn't the update-script normally need an update-binary?

thanks for the info...will try to flash the update package when my tattoo is charged..

			
				
yeah i did resign . i don't think it's a radio idea to flash it with the radio.img but you know if you just delete resign and flash it won't work cause it is going to look for the file and poof installation aborted . i think i figured out the syntax error .I'll flash when is my tattoo is charged too always out of battery

[Q] [Request]Pdroid for Official CyanogenMod

Hello,
i would really appreciate if someone could make a PDroid-Patch for our official CyanogenMod.
There are several Tools out there and i tried each of them, with no success... The framework.jar in those output files always seems very small. I guess that is the reason i always get stuck on the boot Logo.
The tools i tried are:
PDroid Patcher v1.32 Beta 0.321 for Windows | You can find it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
AutoPatcher Windows cygwin Version | You can find AutoPatcher here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408
PDroid Patcher v1.31 | You can find it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24521813&postcount=1164
Out of cuirosity and lack of other options i tried a few patches from yagyas thread over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526326&highlight=pdroid
Of course with no success, they are all meant for other Versions.
So if anyone has already managed to get this working or got any other tips and hints for me, i would be very happy.
Thanks in advance
Wooaarr
Why dont you request in PDroid thread in dev section?
However....
I will take a look!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Solved
It took me a while, but i got it working...
I just attached the flashable zip, in case someone else was looking for this.

I searched every forum thoroughly but didn't found a proper and working solution for Xperia devices
I am trying to make a custom ROM from stock using dsixda kitchen
I used stock 12.1.A.201 as the base ROM

Data
META-INF
system
boot.img
check_data_app

My new Updater-Script
There's a HUGE difference in creating boot animations and creating a ROM.
Don't expect to teach yourself how to make a ROM in just a few days.
It takes, weeks, months, years...
If you're mainly planning to make some exterior changes, which I think you're currently doing, I would focus on making complete themes and not ROMs.
People are not waiting for a ROM which is already available but that looks somewhat different and maybe has some extra or removed apps.
Regarding your problem, I will not be able to help you since I don't have that kind of knowledge.
Anyway, good luck!

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I know that it's not easy to create ROM and also it takes a lot of time. I am ready to give it a shot
I am just making some small changes just for my sake I'll be using this ROM personally for my own use I know that there are a thousand times better ROM's than mine
Anyway glad you considered my probelm.
Bootloop can be cause by:
- Wrong permissions
- Corrupt installation
It is nice if you collect either the last_ksmg or logcat when bootlooping. (if possible)

Share me the .zip you have created perhaps I can take a small look

Thanks for the reply
Can you please have a look at my new updater-script and tell me what is wrong?
I will surely try to get logcat but before that if you can just analyze this updater-script and pinpoint the mistakes it'll make my work a lot easier.
Thanks in advance :good:
Sent me the entire .zip file instead (but start with updater-script)
~~Regards

Sure thing I'll
I am compressing it to maxium extent using KGB archiver and it'll become around 10~20 mb only
It's still compressing so it'll take some time before it reaches it's max compression.
I'll surely send you asap
