Hey guys, I have a question for you wise devs, it comes with a bit of a background story. Basically favorite ROM dropped support for my phone, now they only support the i9000, I have an i897. I am going to try to port. I want to be ready for a worst case scenario: say I screwed up the port, framework is incompatible, what would happen? Are the two phones similar enough that I could still get to download mode, or is a hard brick certain?
Fyi: I am using a guide from a trusted source i found here on xda, I can post link if you want thanks greatly appreciated

If u port something. Please port 4.1 jelly bean b5 gnex stock rom of elitemovil
Well if you didn't port it properly you might get some apps that will Force Close and that also your soft keys might not work properly etc....
Also there is not risk of getting hard brick.
P.S.: If you're porting a ROM, please port it for your self only!

Great thanks! Yeah no way am I putting anybody's phone at risk haha, I just want to get to know the porting process and the folks at darkyrom are completely ok with me trying and so I'm gonna give it a shot, again thank you! Question though: if I get good enough at it and can provide updates and support and the devs at darkyrom are ok with it, how do I go about making the port public? Are there people's permissions I need? Thanks again=)

I dont want to sound discouraging, but why does CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROM dont have any rainbow? cant we use CM7 Kernel(Kang's version)
coz Kernel is reason to rainbow I think.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your Efforts..
keep it up!!

1.It's because we don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
2. CM7 kernels don't work
I'm confused why people are reposting the EDT ROM with basically nothing changed. Users can uninstall and install app themselves. Same goes for Kernels and Modems. None of the original bugs are solved really so I'm confused why this is the second such ROM out today.
I understand it's a great learning experience but from a user standpoint it does not contribute much. I would love when the dev uses the things he/she learned from this to make something.
PS: hayn_pryde46, this is not directed at you nor is this negative. I am very glad you decided to get into the dev game and hope you will become good at it. I'm just unsure your learning experience should be posted as a complete ROM.
why did you port this if it has like NO difference between mine? i mean seriously dude not cool.
Thank you for the previous two posts. I recently got a thread closed because I stated that the dev section is getting polluted with too many roms, which are all the same with minor changes. Im glad im not the only one

ALL he did was download my rom, and re-upload it with some more apps and a different modem/kernel. NOTHING MORE.
Yeah sorry most 98% files are new from xwjvb I just used the rom as base deleted all the files but their init.d tweaks added new build.prop and modem and kernel got mtp sync to work and maybe debugging and original music player remember reboot problems with whitehawks rom, in which he changed it to miui apk

Literally just came to post the exact thing. It seems to be a trend lately, to the point that it's getting ridiculous. The bugs that exist are pretty big, so how about we either work on those, or sit back and wait for other, more advanced devs to fix them before we start "porting" and call it our work.
I assume you don't have the ability to fix the existing bugs, so that alone should stop you when you go to open a thread for a new ROM that you know you don't have the ability to improve yourself.
I mean, then what? Someone is going to work really hard and eventually fix something, you're going to copy/paste it and call it an update? Just relax on these "ports" for now, they're not needed at this stage of 2.3.3 for the Vibrant.
so you DIDN'T tweak it as it says in your post. You give me NO credit even though you downloaded my rom (which has at least some BIG differences to whitehawks) and just replaced the files that determine the build number added a different kernel/modem and pass it off as your COMPLETE own work. Mine at least fixes some bugs his old rom had (battery drainage, made 3D gaming less sucky). Like cmon dude.

Interesting. More information please? Perhaps the developer was doing something contrary to xda rules? Not sure you will get a straight answer on this one though as I would have expected them to lock and rename the thread if they felt the need to justify or explain the cause. By deleting it though, well I get from that anyway, that they would be happy to never speak of it again.

hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone could help.
the droid incredible 2 got a cm10 build of jellybean and everything works except camcorder.
here is the official thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779986
Mate that poll is like the ones we see on TV!!
Totally one sided, no way is anyone gonna say they don't want Jellybean or anything new for tat matter for our phones
Ill try porting this!
EDIT: Grrr Seems like I need to install Ubuntu or Linux, sorry cant do that.
OK, I'll stick it through the kitchen and see what happens. I'm no dev though so I can't guarantee the results or fix anything if it doesn't work... I'm actually a bit scared to even apply the results in case it bricks it but what the hell!
Cooked it and it didn't work. All I did was put it through the porting tools in the Kitchen though so someone better than me might have more luck doing it manually perhaps. Anyway, end of the road for my meagre abilities...

JB ROMs
Hi,
in the Development forum you can already find 2 ROMs that are based on JB, namely Slim Bean and Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10. First failed to install for me (rebootet while flashing) [EDIT: I was in fact doing it wrong, works for me now, thanks to b-eock], second had data issues, which can supposedly solved by turning Flight Mode on and off.
CM10V7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783064
Slim Bean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795770
Guides are linked in the posts.
You have to flash it twice -_- dont make him think something is wrong with the rom... It has to do with the new kernel and partition layout.

Well, at least that fails for me, unfortunately I can't yet post in the developer board.
However CM10V7 is kind of working for me. To get mobile data connection I had to turn on Flight Mode and Turn it off again. Unfortunately Wechat (formerly Weixin) stopped working, don't know who is to blame in that matter.

Ask and you shall receive. Here's my write up and supplement to the instructions on the ROMs' forums.

Also remember to do a wipe the first time you flash and the second time if it reboots during the initial flash. I made that mistake and had major issues. On the first boot everything that tried to load force closed. It was a simple fix though just went in wiped and re-flashed.
that reminds me, is there necessarily a huge benefit to upgrading OS?
or if not jellybean if someone can also point me towards an OS that runs better than gingerbread o:
I haven't tried anything but Slim Bean as far as jelly bean ROMs go but if you are looking for a good stable build I would stay away from jelly bean for the time being. I say that because its a new OS and hasn't had all the bugs worked out yet at least as far as I've read.
There are several ICS ROMs out there that are available. If you look through the development forums you'll find more than you can read through. The few that I've tried have all been better than gingerbread.

With the EU bug lurking around in the ICS roms, I'd steer clear of ICS on your Cappy until a fix is found, otherwise you risk a potentially permanent nerf of your phone's internal memory. Just sayin'
