My friend just search through that thread, I'm sure someone has any error you will have. BTW the answer is copy meta-inf over from base rom. Best of luck

OK man you are getting there. Do you have adb setup? This is a very useful tool. What you do is plug in the phone and type adb logcat and look for the 'E' or error or 'F' for fatal this normally will give a good indicator to what you are missing.
Edit: I don't want to mess you up because those instructions are good but if you go to YouTube and search how to port a ROM . the first two videos are helpful. The lengths are like 16 and 4. Watch the 4 first and you might receive some insight into your problem.

Will this work because I read on one of the comments in youtube (the 4 min video I think) that it can't be used to port paranoid..
I'm trying to port PAC by the way..

It is entirely possible that it won't work that specific way because often framework and jars need to be decompiled. However you can probably use it as a good jumping off point to see if you did things correctly the first time. You can use it to mix tutorials and see if you can get it going. Porting takes some work and I am personally not a fan, although that's probably because my ported ROMs I've made aren't that good.

[MOD] Phone calls on CM10.1 / AOKP 4.2.2

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum.
Many people got phone calls on stock ICS, then changed to 4.2.2 and lost it
But while seeking the forum, I GOT IT AT LAST!!
Although, it has a bug, which is when u receive a call and slide the call button, as soon as u press it it says "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped working", but it might work perfectly on other ROMS
I tested it on Infamous ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220912
Here it is :
Format System (No data wipe required if ur reflashing same rom)
Install ROM, Gapps, and the file attached
Fix permissions (just incase)
Dont reboot untill u do all of that, as in dont reboot in the middle of the procedure.
There u have it
Please tell me if it worked
EDIT : works perfect on infamous 1.7.2, just extract the zip file, paste all the files in their place, and keep the phone.apk untouched (keep the original phone.apk Cruz it works)
P.S : i really appreciate Khomsn for making the CM10.1 build with phone calls, but that build is REALLY laggy.
Thank you everyone.
P.P.S : u have to flash i9103DXLP2 modem (has to be that number specifically) really important to do, link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40754968&postcount=15 (thanks John Kester )

I'm on 4.2.1 CyanogenMod version 10.1 20121229-UNOFFICIAL-p4 by D2dyno and i'm trying flash (MOD) Phone calls on CM10.1/AOKP 4.2.2
and Fully working.After flash I'm trying calling and then trying stoping by touch end call working good then trying receive calling notification sounded and working good.thank you

I can make a call and stoping with push end when i'm tryng calling, on my tab sounded a ringer and working fine for receive call. everything is working fine to me.

Thanks for the effort, but this isnt working for me. I cant even get the phone apk to show anywhere. Im not even sure ifi t installs one. If there is another installation method that isnt mentioned here but that I need to do please refer me to that. Otherwise after flashign th one file above and fixing permissions I get no phone apk to even test this. Im on the infamous rom as well.

Umm... i just installed the phone.apk from Khomsn's thread as a normal apk and that seemed to fix my problem.
Otherwise. Just push the phone.apk in /system/app/ and fix permissions (i dont think fixing permissions is neccesary but i just do it incase)

Yea, Ive done that a few times and I cant get phone.apk to show in the apps list after install.

Consider installing gapps that contains a phone apk after which you flash the phone fix above. Your tab should make calls flawlessly but know that the speaker is set to off by default so you have to activate it when making a call.

Ok thanks for the reply I do need a link to the GAPPS with a phone apk though , unless of course the GAPPS for the tab 10.1 comes with it but why would it. If Im wrong please let me know.
EDIT: Ok so my bad, looks like I need a 3g tab and I have a wifi tab. Thanks for the help nevertheless.

Do search for gapp of 20121212, it contains a phone apk. Gapps for custom roms often contain the apk.

i think it's the META-INF that's the issue.
i'll try to put them in another zip and reply.
BTW: i've got a build of infamous aokp with phonecalls "without the need to do anything" but i think im gonna need permission to upload it.
But for the time-being, i think installing the phone.apk like a normal app will work "iv'e tried it out of curiosity and it actually installed )
but i still don't know why com.android.phone keeps FCing after opening mobile data in settings or when answering a call. Anybody got any tips.

Im not sure how relevant it is anymore but this is the bootlooping one that I got this morning https://www.dropbox.com/s/0xselzb81kfvjiw/Sense4-PreAlpha-0.1.zip

It's using the show pointer and has a dialer issue.
I wanna get past this "Unfortunately, Dialer has stopped." issue before I upload.

I also assume wifi is broken

Might be apn related. Push apns.conf and eri.xml from the Inc's framework-res.apk into this rom. Also make sure you're using all the ril files for the Inc. Take a backup of your build in case you screw up. It looks like wifi is broken from the logcat. How about sound? I'm kind of anxious to work on it. With a nearly fully working desire build we got an easier port.

From the logcat can you see what is putting it there ... I think it may be dialer crashing and the signal being broken

I just made a few changes to support the format and mount commands in TWRP and uploaded the update-binary that should work on this ROM. I removed the symlinking of the hosts file as there was nothing in /data for the hosts file.

Also, I noticed the following are for the wrong device, /system/usr/icu, /system/usr/idc, /system/usr/keylayout, and /system/usr/keychars.
I updated those and the touchscreen works normally.

Yup. This was ported from the One. So expected to not work. But shouldn't be difficult to fix that.

Thanks a lot for what all of you did to getting MIUI on the Xperia Z !
I will be following this thread to give you feedback.
On the other thread, i mentioned my data network didn't work, forget that. I check my access point and it work perfectly now.
But i was really surprised when i wanted to go to my clockworkmod and i saw a "Teamwin mod"-thing... It's not very kind to do some thing we didn't want...
Somebody have a *.zip to get back my old clockworkmod ? Thanks
The MIUI V5 Rom work very well. Unfortunately, there is the SD Card problem who cause a lot of ForceClose. But i'm sure you will get it work.
Keep the good work guys !

Forget our Droid DNA port cause that ruined my phone (Sony are replacing it). I'll talk later on Hangouts in more depth cause I had a Sense 5.0 ROM that booted (stuck on the boot screen just like the original versions of yours and my MIUI builds, However Android being Android, ADB won't work...)

[VIDEO] How To Flash Android 4.4 To Your Nexus 4

Hey everyone, me again! So with Android 4.4 out for the Nexus 4, I thought some folks might need a little help installing it, or maybe just need a visual aid to help. So I made a How To video. Hopefully it helps some people :fingers-crossed: If it does, maybe hit that "Thanks" button?

I have an easy root fix for once you update to 4.4 if you have Mac
I modified the Root.Nexus.4.zip file for Mac on here, updated it to CWM 6.0.4.3 image, and SuperSU 1.65 image. Just unzip, and run the Root.Nexus.4 terminal shell script with the N4 in fastboot with USB connected to the Mac, I think you can use a similar script for PC and prob need USB drivers if you don't have them already. Hope this helps
I'm unable to post a link on here since I'm a newb, PM if you want the link to the zip

Thanks
Another build available here : http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-kitkat-nexus-4-nexus-7-download-unofficially-313352/.
Flashed this in CWM, everything, including root is absolutely fine. (I flashed SuperSu 1.65 zip). But for the proper google experience, have to wait for the factory images.
The lockscreen widgets functionality (except for the camera widget) seems to have been removed, can anyone find that option anywhere?
Edit: Lockscreen widgets can be enabled in Settings->Security.
