Porting a rom

I want to know if anyone out there knows how to port a rom from the Samsung vibrant. The rom is called simply galaxy v2.7.2, it is a very fast rom. Here is the link:http://www.multiupload.com/PJIZ8D3PT6
Please reply back ASAP and thank you in advance

not sure if its the same rom or not but there already is a simply galaxy for the captivate, you would have to see who makes each rom
Its not to difficult to get one to work but it breaks a few features between the two phones i think

Thank you but I don't think the rom your talking about is completely stable. Plus the rom that I posted was constantly updated. Please if you can port, then let me know. Or can you find someone who can.

why dont you port it?
coming from a vibrant, all you need is to swap the kernel and the modem.....and edit the build.prop
easy stuff

I really don't know how to port it, can you just please do it.

'porting' it would require you to download the rom zip
open rom zip with 7zip (do not extract)
open up a kernel zip that you want to use (must match 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 to corresponding rom version)
drag n drop zImage from the kernel zip into the updates folder in the rom zip
do the same thing with modem.bin file from a modem zip
if you want the phone to be recognized as an sgh-i897 you need to open up /system/build.prop with notepad (i use notepad++ for everything on windows boxes) and make all references to T959 say i897

[HOW TO][Windows] Manually Deodex For Holiday ICS

This is mod for ODEXED ICS based ROMs. When using the Dsxida's kitchen, there was a slight problem. so I made some modifications to AutoDEOTool
Manually Deodexing :
to decompil an odex file you needs the BOOTCLASSPATH..
It is a list in specific order of some framework .jar files..
It is different in function of the APKs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
1.Place the JARs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_framework".
Otherwise, place deodexed framework JARs into the directory "deodexed_JAR".
2.Place the APKs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_app".
3. To deodex framework files
-For non standard odex however a specific bootclass path must be defined..
-select to 6
place the bootclass path for framework
Code:
core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:widget.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:filterfw.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:wimax.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar
4.To deodex APKs files for at&t vivid
-select to 4
place the bootclass path for APKs files
Code:
am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:apache-xml.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:bu.jar:com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.cequint.platform.jar:com.discretix.drm.api.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.google.android.media.effects.jar:com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:com.htc.htcSceneManager.jar:com.htc.lockscreen.fusion.jar:com.htc.sunny2.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.qik.enabler.jar:com.scalado.caps.jar:com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:filterfw.jar:framework.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:javax.obex.jar:modemwarmup.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:services.jar:svc.jar:widget.jar:wimax.jar
4.To deodex APKs files for velocity
-select to 4
place the bootclass path for APKs files
Code:
am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:apache-xml.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:bu.jar:com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.discretix.drm.api.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:com.google.android.media.effects.jar:com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:com.htc.android.rosie.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:com.htc.fusion.fx.jar:com.htc.htcSceneManager.jar:com.htc.lockscreen.fusion.jar:com.htc.sunny2.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar:com.scalado.caps.jar:com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:filterfw.jar:framework.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:javax.obex.jar:modemwarmup.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:services.jar:svc.jar:widget.jar:wimax.jar

This manual was written in order to develop more easy deodexed rom..
if you want to getting the pure deodexed ROM, You need to have a separate build process..

So i would need to re build my entire rom?

Maybe It will be.. This manual is written for people who want to build custom Rom..

I tried pushing the files back to the phone and it caused alot of problems so im guessing that i would have to learn how to build roms then. lol

I wish someone would just deodex the stock ics. I know wildchild has a deo version but its also stripped of a lot of the stock goodies the Rom comes with

thats a bit above my skill level i dont wanna risk effing something up im not a dev in any way shape or form

I'm working on getting a stock, rooted de-odexed ROM up tonight if I can.
EDIT: Uploading now. I'll be starting a new thread. Also, I don't want to take anything away from bananacakes here. His tutorial is very good and if you plan on building anything ROM-related, you should get familiar with the process.

[devq] dev question

Guys, i am gonna make a ROM
So, i need majority suggestions.
Here is what i suggest. Please counter-suggest me.
AndroidOS v1.6
Features:
iOS Like(Everything. Inclu. Notifications center)
Undervolt to 600MHz
RAM consumption(MAX 100MB, which means you have 378MB Free)
Undefeatable battery life
V6 Supercharged
3G Optimized.
KICKEDASSED Kernel
If you want to know why I choose 1.6, it is due to its lightness.

Donut? You seem to start on the harder side buddy. What I can suggest before making leaps and bounds is create a ROM on sources that are available. I am not here to discourage you, but you should know what you are trying to make. People who started cooking/deving here (including me) learned from simple things first.
My question to you is have you made a bootable personal ROM regardless of version or make? I am no dev, but I can suggest...
1. Start learning to deodex.
2. Start learning creating/cooking your personal ROM. (CM7/V20stock)
3. If you successfully created your own ROM, start installing Linux and learn to compile.
4. Share the ROM and ask for opinion.

Noob!! You can use a virtual box; and doesn't matter if you have windows 8, 7, vista or xp, you can still partition a HD and multiboot. As time goes by, every post you do makes you look even more noob.

Windows can't. Tools can.
But what if your PC is really incompatible? Use VMs.

I better liked your idea of porting ios.
Im also waiting for new threads where you start porting beos and amiga os and others. I would love to run dungeon master nativly.
Also remember: before you have anything done create new thread in dev section - let the people know that you are not sleeping.
And before starting actual development someone should make cool logo and boot animation - without those things every project will fail.

[Q]Dialer pad theme changing ?

Hi there, i want to know if someone can teach me how to change my dialer pad. i seen a post about that but it was not explained in detail.
it said in the post that in order to change the theme i need to find phone.apk and open with 7zip and change file in 2 of the folders there.
can one of the themers here help in this ? explain a bit more, point me to the right place?
another question about it, if i take the phone and contacts apk's from JB and replace them with those that are in IZS or Marvel v11 will it work? will it change the dialer looks with no prolems ?
thanks
Sol

I dont know for sure, since i dont theme myself, but I think you cant simply use, since it probably has got dependencies in framework and other files. If you integrate those somehow, it might work but CMIIW

BTW what is CMIIW ? Is it the full abbreviation of CM?

Boot image

Is there any way I can get the android boot image installed on 2.0 so I can install it on 1.5? I tried to find where the boot image is stored on my 1.5 phone, but have not yet found it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That is in the kernel...
You must change it in the kernel source, and then compile the kernel. Cam posted a tool a while back somewhere on the AOIP thread. You need a linux distro though
