This script comes with instructions for each step, It is the MIUI auto-porter modified for general use with CM10 based roms.
It will say a bunch of stuff about MIUI on the splash-screen at the start, Ignore it.
Any Rom that uses CM10 as a base can be ported to this device using this script.
Download: Auto-porter

I know It's not a new rom update but I figured you folks would like it better, to test it out go to AvatarRoms site or some other CM10 based rom and try your hand at porting!
Some roms will have TW framework or other things like this and that must be taken care of manually, so for more complex ports you will need a good understanding of how to port and diff and xml editing and so on; but for very basic things or to create a quick port to assess what kind of potential work would need to be done, how compatible your device is with a base; this is a good place to start.

Hello
We can port any rom based on CM10 with this ? Like Paranoid Rom ??

Try to and it wll prob work

I have already tried this with CM10 epinter for base and Paranoid for AT&T One X because they are the same architecture and screen size ( 1280*720 )
But they don't start, i see the log but i don't understand anything ^^'
I retry and i give you feedback
Thanks for your work

im trying that right now the cm10 and pana will tell you if it works its 2.70 so dont think it has pie but hey whatever

Sometimes the foreign rom is just not compatible as a base, you will see results as you experiment and find which phones are most 'similar' to yours

If anyone has successfully ported a rom with auto-porter that boots and is somewhat functional or functional, then please post and share the details here. I personally do not know how to port a rom, or make a rom etc., But I am willing to learn how to use the auto-porter in this thread if someone is willing to point me in the right direction. Like which base to use, and what modifications need to be done and so on...

the tmobile s3 is based from the same chipset, should try there to see

[ROM][NOT BOOTING]Slim Bean 4.2.2 4X HD

Hey guys!
Because there aren't very many ROMs for our 4X HD, I decided to port Slim Bean from HOX! There are no problems flashing this ROM but anyhow it doesn't boot. I would really like to give you my logcat, but taking a logcat didn't work, too. Maybe there are some developers, who can help? I would really like to see Slim Bean on 4X!
DOWNLOAD:

If you have ideas, how to fix boot problems, please tell me what I have to do, or reupload a fixed version!!

Thanks for trying, hopefully someone can help you fix it

I've got bootloop on my Paranoid 3.X for our LG.
It booted once when I copied nearly all files from HOX rom ( of course aprat form kernel, vendor and some others) but it was unstable and stuff. I'll relase it in a week when it's working. My advice to you is to start from copying nearly all files form HOX rom ( it's so similiar to our LG) and gradually replace needed files from CM 10.1 to fix bugs, make wifi work and stuff.
I had succesfully booted paranoid but it was not usable, had FC's all the time. And when I ported it using standard file copy scheme it gave me bootloop. I'll try to find this sweet spot and will relase it.
Keep up your work, any new roms are aprecciated.

Well, how about compiling, not porting?

One thing I have seen before is people port a ROM for quickness then build it from source while we enjoy the port. Nothing wrong with porting if its a good ROM and its done properly, would do one myself if I knew how
Sent from my rooted P880

Now that my 64 bit Arch machine is working flawless maybe I'll start digging into compiling stuff from source But I will probably fail hard (baaasiiic C/C++ knowledge) let's hope not. But I don't see any sense in making people compile from source instead of porting. If they could do this they would ! But not everyone is a real dev , so be happy with ports they provide us !

Hey nice that more people care about our device! I know it's a little bit OT but I tried to port paranoid from hox to 4X and it also hangs at boot up (bootanimation is shown) ...
I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232773
There had been no errors in cwm while installing!
I wiped data /cache partion /dalvik cache and format system before flashing....
maybe someone can help me/us

Sorry,
we can't tell you much about it. We need the ROM to check if you made a mistake.
From which device did you ported it? Does it has the same screen?
If not, then you need to resize every APK in the ROM or take a Paranoid ROM from a device which has the same screen.

I know, but my internet is slow, now it finished uploading! Here is the Link: https://www.box.com/files/0/f/839004648/1/f_7762315260
It's portet from HOX (same resolution also xhdpi) and it's paranoid 3.10! Both Roms are 4.2.2 (it's first cm nightly release for 4X as Base!)
HOX has also same cpu and gpu as 4X (tegra3) and so I guessed that it would be the best device to port from!
I tried to logcat while bootup, but adb don't recognize 4X HD (adb drivers uninstalled and reinstalled again!)
I wiped data factory reset /cache partion /dalvik cache and format system before flashing and data /cache after flashing...
No errors in cwm while installing...
I also tried point 8 from tutorial to copy libandroid_runtime.so to base rom and I tried to copy libandroid_servers.so and
libmedia_jni.so to base rom (thanks to tobixdev), but nothing helped - same: stuck at boot!
hope somebody can find the fault and fix it !

cm/pa building/discussion & plans.

hello all, I've just picked up a razr i as a temp standin while my xperia Z is away under warranty repair.
(it was cheap enough to keep too play with afterwards)
is there any reason why no-one has started on CM /PA yet? I've looked through all the posts and can't see anything remotely like a real custom rom..
I'm happy to start working on this (will probably leave it till my Z is back in use though), but would like to get a decent team together to work on it, rather than do it on my own, which is what I've done in the past for a few devices and burnt myself out!
if you're interested then let me know
DO NOT POST
Code:
+1
and me
or
let me beta test !
I want people with a more technical bent than a lot of the users on here to get involved.
for those people, is there anything I'm missing that would stop us building for this?
we have kernel source, and omars kernel looks fairly decent basepoint looking at his git, and some source from motorola that looks sloppily put together.
we can flash with fastboot, and even using blobs it doesn't look too arduous to get at least a 4.1 based build going, so am I missing something?
I'm pretty open on how I work, but I don't tolerate people demanding stuff, or expecting perfection, this will be a W.I.P for a very long time (especially if done on my own).

As far as i know, the problem is on intel processor libs... That's what i've read somewhere around here

Aosp and cm build with some modifications. The phone boots, but in a boot loop on my build. Haven't solved that and will not solve it I think. I have some skills in building, modifying and debugging, but not enough... To get it working. Give it a shot, we can help everyone to get past some certane problems we already solved.

hello the problem is that no source AOSP (Cyanogen or AOKP) have x86 libraries and formats, visit www.androidx86.org
if you need a beta tester let me know
The app also must be compatible with x86

The problem I faced was that at the moment of booting it kept restarting netd -- which is odd seeing how the Kernel iptables/ipchains and net configuration is the same on Motorola's one. [info]
I even tried adding and compiling extra modules on the Kernel without much luck -- and it was not the typical ramdisk *.rc files fix here.

Hmm I presumed that with the amount of x86 development boards about there would be a load more work on bringing cm across.
I'll start to have a look at it in depth in the next couple of weeks.

Harder cause it's not only based on cm10 it's alto different port

For MiUi 4.0 there was the possibility to make a stock based Miui Rom,
There even was one for our Razr i, even though it wasn't very popular.
Is this possibility gone with v5 or is there any other reason not to?

v4 is different, cause all the porting guides are adapted for it, plus there's miuiv4.1 for razr which is easily portable i guess, but v5 is a whole different matter cause it's based on cm

I will be very happy if anyone port miui 4.1 for our razr, i used it before, on my old phone
If anybody dev could do it i think many ppl will be happy as i.

I got Intel's AOSP Android (4.1.2) to build and then made some binary blob overlays on top. It show the Motorola animation logo on the Phone and then it starts flickering -- I have yet to plug adb to it, but I need to go to sleep soon.
Experimental File, adb enabled at boot: RazRi_AOSP_A001.zip [Flashes boot animation, this is using Motorola's *.prop files, which shouldn't be]
Experimental File, adb enabled at boot: RazRi_AOSP_A002.zip [Have not tried this one, this has safe cflags and default build.prop]

Q: Anyone with two phones who knows what to experiment with? I put the instructions to build on the github readme at the moment.

[Q] Is there any Kitkat X86 Phone out there?

Hi there,
I am on my way porting kitkat to our beloved Razr I. There is not much progress so far, as I started from a mostly fresh product environment a lot of work has to be done with much time consuming testing (The build system is really slow and not everything can be tested without rebuilding the rom).
A bit of a showstopper seems to be the precompiled binaries we need. They are compiled against some JellyBean Android system libraries and are not compatible. Instead of adding to the Kitkat-Libs I really would like to use vendor blobs compiled against Kitkat... Does anybody know of a firmware image of any X86-atom 4.4 Phone?
Development thread and github sources will be published within the next few days - but I still need 9 more posts to get access to that board

Hey there, maybe. . . can help this one?
H t t p: //software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-atom-x86-image-for-android-4-4-kitkat-installation-instructions-manually
Its no Image of a phone but for developing in emulation-environment

Maybe its more practical to get fixed the things for 4.2.2 first?
Enviado desde mi XT890 mediante Tapatalk

Agree. As I know there is no single x86 phone with KitKat. It would be great if we could have 4.4 but I don't know if there is chance for it - not yet.
Cyanogenmod could give our phone new live, even with Android 4.2. It would be great if anyone with proper knowledge and abilities could help in building and resolving bugs in 4.2 build.

I am also disappointed a bit. I came from Milestone 2, which is older, but still under development, even though it rests in 'legacy devices' forum. But existing ROMs for Droid 3 are fast and stable - i.e. Minimoto which I'm using now. No KitKat? Yeah, but who cares for KitKat?

I would love to see a 4.4.4 rom for the droid 3 or a 5.0 rom. I will gladly test.
