I'm waiting for 2.2 on tattoo.
Developers pls help the Tattoo user.
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

This is a work i continue as popdog123 is very busy, so i think we shall do our best and let him work on his work, or whatever hes doing,
See The 2 Reserved, comments to get latest info!
Hello!
Ok so this is an attempt to port MIUI to LGP500. We are trying this because porting on the Galaxy 3 (LDPI armv6) was a success and i'm sure it will work on our device too.
This is what we're using so far: MIUI for Milestone, Desire & Overflow ROM
So far this has been done:
ADB now working
Merged framework.jar from base rom with MIUI one
Replaced all apks with miui except LatinIME.apk which seems to give an error on boot
Use libs, bin and xbin from base rom
Merged permissions
[Update 9.07.2011 - 17:48 GMT+3 DST]
Now using framework from CM7
Libs, and bins from CM7
Boot.img still from Overflow (CM7 Boot.img stops adb on boot after a while - so using Overflow for developing for now)
Replaced many smali files in framework but errors keep popping up - I think framework is pretty screwed up now and must be redone (again)
No more nasty error on boot (with stack dump and stuff...)
No need for logcat now because errors come from framework
[Update 11.07.2011 - 15:32 GMT+3 DST]
MIUI boots up and we have graphics BUT
It only boots up to some error dialogs that say some processes force closed with "Close" and "Report to MIUI"
Gapps, Provision, and StatusBar force close so they need work
Removed ContactsProvider.apk and CalendarProvider.apk
[Update 14.07.2011 - 10:58 GMT+3 DST]
Fixed framework.jar - no more errors seem to come from it
New zip not made on mac so no low memory errors
New problem that might fix the apps: All apps look for their classes.dex in /cache/dalvik-cache but only system classes are there. The app classes are created in /data/cache/dalvik-cache
All apps are back because the errors don't come from them
[Update 28.07.2011 - 18:53 GMT+3 DST]
Added dalvik-cache to /cache script
New zip with init.d script and updated framework
Need to fix dead code in framework
Need new kernel
Need MDPI apks
Need libs that don't make the apks crash
Latest flashable zip:
http://www.multiupload.com/VNM8QTDBZ3 [Updated 28.07.2011] Thank you 4silvertooth
10/14/2011
Replaced all Apk's (Now using latest MIUI 1.10.07 (STABLE)
Replaceed Android Policy (With Milestone's)
Replaced Services (With Milestone's)
still boots up, only FC was keyboard
(DOES NOT BOOT! DON'T FLASH IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!) Sorry... i had to put this in big red letters because apparently people didn't see it well...
If you would like to help go ahead. Download the rom or make your own one if you don't like our development and give input. But most of all don't try to bring us down with "this can't be done" stuff. It can be done and it was done for another armv6 device. We need to get apps and framework to work and rom to boot. Libs and bins will come after...
This being said i would like to thank these people for their work so far and for making me get off my ass and do something useful:
4silvertooth
jazux
DJoptimus-One
Also i would like to thank overflow for his rom. It's the base for our miui so far.
!
Special Thanks to!
Popdog123
For starting the port and to get it to even boot,
Thanks To!
4silvertooth (teaching me on how to)
jazux (telling me what to do)
DJoptimus-One (yeah he made stuffs also as i dont know)
For helping to get this port to work,
TO DO:
See the difference in this files:
android.policy.jar
services.jar
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
(as we only looked at framework.jar we)
we got no progress, but now we can do get it!
(Akash.gupta made the launcher work on galaxy 3, and on the port of MIUI)
Nothing is impossible we need to see what we are missing
and try to edit and recompile and test on our phone,
Whats the status so far ? I mean actually where have we reached ? What things aren't working ?

Im sorry, but with your non-working roms u r the one whos spamming the entire dev section of P500.
First you start to "porting" ROMS to our P500, then, when u fail, start a new thread involving a "supercrazyamazing rom with extra-cheese", and only was a themed rom, but hey, no rom, because u cant figure it to enable sd-mount and show us screenshot of your fail (sorry, rom). Then u take others ppl work (like dr.notors) and continues as ur work? sorry m8 but im not spamming either threatening u with the mods. I dont even know why ur threads are still open.

again thats not spam, and i quited the rom and i do not have time,
The ihero is partly working, and SD-Card mounted,
Doktor notor's rom is not stolen i said i do a topic for it, as people may not go to his forum,
Please do read before posting man And why some threads is still open and not closed or deleted is because I or anyoneelse exept mod can close it (or administrator's) so i have tried close some topics with no luck, so what you can do is ask mod to do that for me ?
Well it would be great if you work on a single port and make it a complete success rom.
As dj said team envy is all there to help you out but we need a fully working rom as all the thread remains incomplete.
Well lets port miui :d

yeah i thought that to, after some researches and questions i noticed that we only worked on framework.jar but we forgot 2 other files aswell
A quick tip from my side :- consider andy for the launcher. Remember his rom that was removed RC4.1 or something. He has always used a launcher actually and fully modified by HIM, and also with his upcoming legendary rom, he is doing the same with the launcher. All around the devs in O1 section, andy is the best in this field. You should ask him
I am 100% sure he will help and will take out some time for you.
JUST ONE RULE SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHILE THIS :- BE PATIENT

your 100 thanks clicked.
ANDY:
as i see in the logcat, it seems that there are mixed libraries from miui and LG proprietary libs.
this cant work, because many apps are crashing at boot time because of missing functions for layout.
at first, remove the fu** LG drmserver - no one but LG need this.
second, try the surfaceflinger, surfaceflinger_client, libpixelflinger and liblayout from another rom,
these from LG rom cant work here - miui has patched many libraries, so these installed
cant work properly.

ROOT
DO IT YOURSELF
FOLLOW THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL by wagstuff13
Wanna make your own rooted software? It's quite simple, due to navossoc! Thanks for this guide and the tool.
[TOOL] Lg Extract Tool
Follow the guide, and first extract the kdz file into a cab file. Extract this cab file, then you ll get a v00y.wbd file and a LGP970.dll. 00 represents your SW version, e.g. 10 or 20 and y stands for a letter like B,N,...
So you e.g. get a file called v20N.wdb file.
Then again open the programm in cmd and extract the wdb file (see in the link above). Be sure it is in the same folder as the lgextract.exe file, or add the patch of the file. Copying it to the same folder is the easier solution
Now you ll get a new folder and in it a few bin files and one fls file.
First cd ti the new bin folder.
You need to add up all the files with this command:
copy /b "LGP970_AP
[*].bin" "LGP970_AP.bin"
Now you have a flashable bin and fls file for Smartflashtool.
If you wanna root it, you need Ubuntu or another linux distribution, which supports the dd command.
Then follow THIS
It's really easy, so dont ask for rooted software anymore, but make it on your own.
To flash and actually root the SW, you need to follow THIS guide, from Step 2 on, and it will be perfectly rooted and you can be sure, that noone patched anything else in your software, cause you made it on your own
Now you can link to this post directly, if anyone is asking for ANY rooted version
There already is an updated tool, which does the unpacking and injecting CWM automatically. I am sorry, but I dont have time, to update the post, so here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
Here you can get every kdz firmware, you need: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
More more detailed information will be found here
Catching a logcat:
Whenever you QQ (cry) around because anything doesnt work, every dev can only guess, what s your problem. If you wanna provide the necessary information to him, give him a logcat and he will be happy and fix the bug you are getting.
Ricardo Cerqueira once posted this pic about this topic
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So here is what you need to do, before you report the next bug/error to your dev.
1. Download QtADB from HERE (Find their HP here: http://qtadb.wordpress.com/)
2. Extract it to some place you wanna have it.
3. Now Open QtADB.exe
4. Connect your phone in debug mode
5. Click logcat on the left side (it's the last one)
6. Now Reproduce the problem, that you have, like force closes or other stuff.
7. Maybe reproduce it a second time
8. Push ctrl+A to mark all the lines
9. Right click it and choose, export selected to file
10. Save it to a place, where you can refind it.
11. Upload it somewhere (e.g. mediafire.com)
12. Post in the corresponding thread and give them a description of the error, so they know, what they need to look for and the link to the uploaded logcat.
This will improve a lot of ROMs around here, cause everyone uses it, but hardly anyone (including myself) can contribute to cooking/deving. So do us all the favour, that if you experiance an error and it's cause by the ROM and not a buggy installation, make a logcat and post it to the threads of the devs
Here is how it typically looks (Zeus ROM v4.02 + LG kernel without dimming light):

Added ADB package, from my PC, which is needed from QtADB... See attachments
More detailed information to come here, like governors and schedulers, ...
This is going to be a big NOOB how to, since I read the same questions OVER AND OVER again! If anyone then asks a question, that is already answered here, just redirect them here and close/delete their thread.
I am sorry for not having updated this in a long time, but there is simply stuff, that seems more important to me, than Android
Important Terms:
NooB: My own definition: A person who is new to a subject and knows hardly anything about it. And since you read this, you seem to be one of them Since I am reading and thinking this in this moment, I am, too
CWM: Clock Work Mod (Recovery Menu)
SFT: Smartflashtool
B2C: Lg Mobile Update Tool
ADB: a command prompt, which is very power- and usefull. Instead, you can also use THIS(credits to achyut)
SoD: Screen of Death, which means, that your phone is frozen, and you can't do anything at all. Often combined, with a heating up, of the device.
su/SU: Can have two meanings, either the the Superuser rights, that permit programms/apps root privileges, or superuser binaries (a part of the Superuser app).
UV: Undervolting, which means setting a lower voltage to your CPU/GPU
--> Saves battery, may cause instability.
OC: Overclocking, means setting higher speed to your CPU/GPU
-->Higher speed, but mostly also higher battery drain, or instability.
Nandroid: A backup of the whole system, made with CWM, can be restored within minutes.
OTA: Over The Air, Update via Wifi/network, I suggest you not do use it.
FC: Force Close, error with apps, which forces them to be closed.
chmod: Set permissions to a file. E.g. make it read/writeable.
Lets start with ROMs/kernels:
ROM is practicly the whole Operating System of your android device. It includes all software needed, plus a kernel.
Then there are kernels, which mostly tweak some stuff, in order to save battery, provide more speed, provide stuff like OC(overlocking) and UV(undervolting).
A modified kernel is not a whole ROM! It only is additionally to a ROM, in order to tweak it
A kernel is the HEART of a ROM. (Thanks to gabwerkz) Also see here: Kernel

What's the best ROM for you:
If you wonder what's the best ROM for you go to: Best ROM for Optimus Black
Or go here: Best ROM for Optimus Black
I gave some information to the ROMs here, and which MIGHT fit you best, just try them.
Root:
Why would u want it?
Cause this gives you something like admin privileges in windows.
This allows you to modify/add, delete,... files, that ususally are protected.
It also allows you to install ClockWorkMod, which in turn allows you to flash custom ROMs, which we all like so much, because of their smoothness, battery saving possibilities, OCing, UVing, and so on
ROOT ON Froyo (2.2.x, v10x)
For the v10x Versions (Froyo, Android 2.2.x), BlackJack should work in most cases, find it here:
[STARTER] Upgrade Kit 3.6 | Apps 1.9 | Root, Flash, Unbrick, Tuts...
Also find a CWM installer in this package, or download ROM Manager from android market and install CWM (ClockWorkMod) from there.
CWM gives you the possibility, to boot to a special kind of OS, that allows you to delete data, mount system, data,... And most important flash .zip files.
If a version cant be rooted by using Blackjack, try SOC (SuperOneClick).
If this still doesnt work, leave a comment, of your version and a link or description, of how to root it.
You also might wanna try UnlockRoot.
ROOT FOR Gingerbread (V20x, 2.3.x)
For v20x(GB, Android 2.3.x): ROOT V20x
see v20a UAE: ROOT v20a (made by myself, hope it works)
see v20S: ROOT v20sYou can download a pre-rooted V20s here. Follow the link HERE
If you still are unable to root it, discuss it here: [Q] How to root P970 Gingerbread V20N
OR here: LGE P970 V20* GB Rooting

To flash and actually root the SW, you need to follow THIS guide, from Step 2 on, and it will be perfectly rooted and you can be sure, that noone patched anything else in your software, cause you made it on your own
There already is an updated tool, which does the unpacking and injecting CWM automatically. I am sorry, but I dont have time, to update the post, so here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
Here you can get every kdz firmware, you need: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
Root on ICS:
It's really simple. Download: THANKS TO ILKO for the clean installer.
Install, run, reboot your phone and your done
Please do not try to install CWM on ICS. You'll get a security error and will have to unbrick your device!
If you already have ICS stock on your phone, there is a simply procedure, that will allow you to get CWM again, but you'll have to install a new ROM via Smartflashtool.
1. You need a V20 ROM, that has been patched with CWM, like THIS ONE.
2. You need Smartflashtool
3. Download Superuser.zip from here: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and put it on your SD card.
4. Unpack the V20S patched .7z file
5. Flash the .bin file using SFT
6. Your phone will reboot to recovery
7. Do a factory reset and if you wanna stick with a rooted v20S, just flash the superuser.zip and reboot. If you already want to install a custom ROM, just put that on your sd card and flash it (see how to install a custom ROM).
8. Reboot and enjoy your new ROM
The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well
How to install Custom ROM's
First of all, you need a rooted phone already. See above, how to do it
Then you need to install CWM (Clock Work Mod), you can do this e.g. by downloading ROM Manager, install it, open it
and find Install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Hit it, wait some seconds and click LGE optimus Black. Wait again, till the file has been downloaded and installed and your all set Now you can reboot into Recovery, with the second option. It says, what it does: Reboot to recovery
Now grab the ROM you desire the most and download the zip. Plug your phone to the PC (via USB) open up the folder of your SD card, and copy the file you downloaded in there. Dont copy it into a subfolder, since it will only be harder to find.
Now go back to ROM Manager and click reboot recovery, or if you have adb installed, just type reboot recovery in a terminal on your pc.
You are in recovery menu now.
First of all do a nandroid backup (explained on top). To do so, go to Backup and Restore, then Backup and wait.
It will now make a complete backup of the whole system, settings, and so on.
If something goes wrong during the installation of the new ROM, you can simply revert back to the state you had before.
Your ready to install the new ROM now.
Now it depends, on if you only update a ROM, like CM, or if you install a completely new ROM.
If you install a new ROM, do a full wipe. This means, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats and go back. now select install zip from SD card. Then choose zip from sdcard and then select the file you downloaded.
Wait till all is set up and enjoy your new ROM
If you only update a ROM, follow the instructions given in the thread about the ROM.
What to do if the Update failed?
Well it depends on how much you failed, what u had installed before and if Huexxx Recovery fix was applied.
First scenario:
Huexxx's patch was applied in the ROM before.
This enables to boot to recovery by repeatedly pushing a hard key, like volume- or g-key directly after you start the phone.
Push em fast, while the softkeys are flashing(turn on and off). As soon as they stop flashing, you will be in recovery and can either restore a backup, or install another zip file.
Second scenario:
CWM is still enterable via adb.
You first of all need to download and "install" ADB.
Best will be, to simply extract the files to C: and also rename the new folder to a short term like "ADB" without "".
Then open the command prompt, navigate to the folder of adb: e.g.
Code:
C:
cd ADB
cd adb
Now you should be in the adb folder, where you can find adb.exe and some other files.
If not, check out, how it is called and navigate there in another way.
"cd" means change directory, so if you didnt rename it to ADB, but e.g. ADB-sdk, type cd ADB-sdk instead.
Ok, now simply type adb reboot recovery and wait.
Now your phone should restart to Recovery Mode.
But watch out, if you do this with a working ROM, and forgot to install CWM, you will get a factory reset!
Third scenario:
None of the above worked. Then you have no chance, but to to use the unbricking method below. Then root your device, install CWM and you can have a new try
Unbricking:
Your Phone doesnt boot anmore or only shows the LG screen contantly!
If your phone is stuck in bootloop, have a look in here: SMARTFLASHTOOL
You can download the patched V20s from ABOVE or take the v10a from here
Flash with R&D Tool:
The upper is the easier and faster solution, but if you really need R&D Testtool, because Smartflash didnt help, grab R&D tool HERE(it's in the package), and then follow THIS guide
You can also use the latter method, if you wanna return your phone on warranty. But I would make a Factory reset afterwards anyway. And don't forget to remove all files from your SD card as well, since this could show them as well, that the phone might have been rooted.
Themes And Apps
Themes are modifications to the look of your UI (UserInterface). This gives your Operating System a different Look.
There are a lot of things, you need to pay attention to.
For example there are ODEXED = easier on space, tougher on tweaking and ram usage (just a short explanation)
and Deodexed = easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space
Find more information on this HERE
Now you need to know, if your ROM is odexed, or deodexed. You mostly find information on this directly in the thread of the ROM you are using (see above).
If you know what kind of ROM you are using, go to the Themes link above and choose whatever you like. There is almost always written, for which specific ROM this was made (e.g. Zeus ROM, Stock GB, stock Froyo,...) And mostly, if you need a odexed or deodexed Version of a ROM, or not.
It's pretty much like odexed files also work on deodexed Software, but not the other way around. (NOT ALWAYS)
Then you encounter bugs like missing statusbar, display bugs, glitches, ...
So check if the theme you are willing to try will REALLY work for your device.
If you wanna make your own Themes, check out UOT KITCHEN Or these two threads: HERE AND HERE Credits to gabwerkz and Huexxx.

Just a correction. Kernel is not an addition, it is the heart of a ROM. May it be stock or modified.
Insert "A modified kernel" at the beginning without modifying your sentence.

Can you tell me, why anyone with a rooted phone would want it? I mean, sending it back to the provider for repair or similar is a reason, I can understand, but what are other reasons? Idk if it's enough to flash it with smartflash and afterward go to hidden menu and do a factory reset, but I guess this should work fine
Any suggestions on this? Or maybe the R&D tool and workaround?
This is not a Q&A thread
Do not post questions in this thread, they will be reported and deleted.

The means to unroot isn't in the first post, and the OP is discussing this issue with him so - don't post unnecessary chides, it is a legitimate question, posted before I warned that this isn't a Q&A thread. Hopefully the answer will be included in the OP, as it is something that will be asked - over and over again .

You have helped me out quite a few times earlier and now I thank you for the "real thing": being generous enough to go through the trouble of making things easier to everyone else. That takes patience and a really good deal of generosity. And maturity above everything else.
When I began working with IT by 1981 I was nice to my peers. Then I became more and more technical and efficient at my job, and harder and harder at my peers and everyone else.
In return (despite all my capacity) I only drew drawbacks. My career sank. I had to start it all over again, with a different drive. ;-)
Today IT is just a hobby, and it's encouraging to see that at least a few of the most gifted people are showing that gift and contempt are not always bound to each other! :-D
Attitudes like yours, although they don't warrant you (1) a $300K/Y job, they DO warrant you (2) a very, very nice feeling that is hard to describe (albeit I suspect that you already know it) and (3) raise the suspicion that there's really a God and that (4) we are really above the rest of the animal kinds. I hope you get all four.
Congratulations and just forgive me for the last kitsch words

Thank you very much, for such an encouraging post I like and appreciate it very much. But there is one thing, that I can't stop wondering about, how could I help you out already? I mean you should probably know more bout IT and programming and stuff than me... Just curious Anyway, I like to help ppl out a lot. I also do this in real life a lot, but the problem is, that a lot of ppl dont pay you back at all. Just using one's knowledge/money/whatever and not giving back anything, or even ignoring advices and stuff is something I hate the most! Just like some of the Noobs here. I have nothing against questions and there never will be a stupid one, so dont stop asking, it is an important part in life. But I hate the ignorant noobs, that dont even try to use the search, dont look around in the forum, are simply too lazy, to look around but simply create their own threads, with questions, or information, that can already be found here. And mostly you can't only find it once, but already several times, because of them.
So dont stop asking, but use search first, pls... I'm also still a noob, so I also gotta ask a lot of questions, and this will never stop, until I either throw away all the IT around me, a solar storm makes it impossible for us to use any kind of IT, or I am dead
So to all the others here, share your knowledge with the ones, who also would like to have it. I also know, that it is time consuming, but trust me, giving, will mostly/always be warranted in any way later. I believe in karma and who gives good, will receive good. So maybe one day, when you dont have time/dont wanna mod anymore, but still wanna use good modded software, you need someone else to do it for you and who could do this better, but a person, that learned from you? So I never will stop supporting this community as long, as I got some time.
And I also know, I was writing a lot now and better stop now
Just one last thing, keep me posted, if we need some information added, so it can be found more easily, as long as it can be explained in a way, even I will understand

It depends on the time frame.
I know a lot of old-school stuff that is still valid, but when it comes to Android I'm a complete moron. Got my OB by Oct 2011 and I'm still trying to leave the craddle. BTW this OB is my first SP, and I wanted to take the most out of it.
Yes I need help, and XDA is BY FAR the best Android site I've seen in the net.

For some time I used to post frequently at ABXZone (used to be a more populated community) under the same nickname and believed EXACTLY the same thing. I don't post so often these days, since my kids keep me busy enough. But as I said, when it comes to Android phones I'm still a complete moron, so in some way I'm being paid back here for that I did there.

This is meant to help ppl who start out with android. Not list every single topic in here I think this is a bit too advanced for noobs.

I've found that very useful. Been able to get every AOSP/CM based ROM to boot by editing the updater-script to match the correct partition.
Has anybody noticed that photos taken with the front facing camera on CM sometimes have green distortion? That was the only bug I've found. Unfortunately, that flared up my phone OCD enough to go back to the 4.3 leak.
Thanks for putting this thread together, OP!

Here's the ROM I was messing with. I used the "old firmware" because it was the newest one when I first looked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349369
I've attached my modded updater script. (You will have to remove the .txt extension. Wouldn't let me upload without it.) All I had to do was edit which /dev/block the script mounts before it copies stuff over. If I recall correctly, I only had to change the dev it flashes the boot.img to.

I think this might be fixed in the newest CM nightly. I've took about 20 selfies with the front facing camera and haven't had distortion at all. Before I'd get it every 3 or 4 photos.
Edit: Disregard the above. The problem is back, but I'm thinking it might be the 4.3 camera zip I've been using. Hmmmmmmm......
I think I jumped the gun a bit on rooting my I9505G right when I got it. I've never successfully rooted it, but I managed to get on the 4.3 ROM with a few quirks here and there. My ultimate goal is to get Paranoid Android with halo running, but I'll have to dedicate a day to the whole process. I'll be keeping track of this thread.

Here's the ROM I was messing with. I used the "old firmware" because it was the newest one when I first looked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349369
I've attached my modded updater script. (You will have to remove the .txt extension. Wouldn't let me upload without it.) All I had to do was edit which /dev/block the script mounts before it copies stuff over. If I recall correctly, I only had to change the dev it flashes the boot.img to.

Great work Illogic I wonder why TW will not display I tried as well but I did not get as far as you mine fails during the installation.
Also did you see my post on getting Cygwin to set device mount points that in itself will speed things up

I haven't used Cygwin before. I'll take a look at it today.
Also going to mess around with TW a little more. Maybe we just need some libs from the stock 9505g rom or something.
Update: I'm afraid I may have mislead you earlier. It appears that you need more than just the updated update-script in order to get touchwiz to boot. You also need a kernel from one of the 4.3 leaks. Here's the one I've been using. (Attached) Not only does it boot, but the soft keys work and you can hear the sound effects of the lock screen. I'm very close.

Wow Illogic your close bro thanks for your hard work the libs does sound like it would cause the display problem I'm gonna play around with this too. All I did was unpack stock 4.3 and zip and deo the files with root. The problem I am having is that I am still learning U-scripts and so I cannot get anything to flash. I get failed on 0p21 even though its changed. Maybe I can pm you what I did later and get your feedback cuz your miles ahead of me

I've merged libs from the leaked 4.3 build into the TW ROM without overwriting anything. Didn't seem to change anything. At this point, I'm playing with magic I don't understand so not sure how much farther I'm going to get.
Would really like figure out which files in the system are responsible for the display. Perhaps we need to overwrite those files. Google is failing me so far.

Tada! :victory:
The error message goes away. Right now, the web browser force closes... that might be because of the ROM I was modifying. What I did was use the 4.2.2 kernel that shipped with the google play phones. That booted AND activated the display.

I agree this message is a bit long but it is worth reading.
- Thanks, but sorry. Even if I give you the links and even if spend your precious time you would only be able to fix the error 7.
- Actually I've already fixed that(or know what's the issue atleast). There are files that are missing from the directories that are listed in the updater script. They cannot be deleted as the original base ROM I compiled was from UA(unlegacy android) that are based on the newer sources.
- Some files that are required for MIUI are also missing.
- Boot.img is incomplete. Which will result in bootloop even if I upload the error 7 fixed ROM.
- I am giving my board exams that are one of the biggest exams in India. And I cannot afford to score less in these.
- All I need is a older base ROM ,CyanogenMod 11 made around may of 2016. And also it must support init.d because the port ROM requires that.
- I've taken permissions from the maker of the port ROM. He has allowed me to proceed.
- All I need is permission from Android-Andi, as only he has older CM ROMs.
- I cannot compile because older sources are not available or maybe I am not known to them
Hope you understand. Thank you.
P.S. - Android-Andi if you read this please reply. You are the only one who can help me(by providing me permissions to use your ROM as a base).
With best regards,

Have you seen this CM 11? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/rom-cm-11-0-galaxy-tab-2-t3737392
Just made last month by @Deltadroid
Links are removed because *the ROM is not complete yet*.
Thanks, but I need to confirm a few things before I could use a ROM(includes init.d support and a bunch of other things). Also, it is very important that deltadroid provide me permission to use his ROM.
Thank you!
Regards,
KG
-----_edit_--------
I just saw deltadroid's thread, the title clearly says that the ROM is for p3110. I want to make a unified one. I need a ROM made with unified device tree.
If I do port, it will only work on p3110 and maybe on every 7" device. I don't want do this.
Sorry, but yeah thanks!
Just wait till 3 april 2018. Most probably I will upload.
Edit 2
Or I must say it an update. 75 percent of the work is done. Somehow I managed to get a base ROM(only I know how). Only build.prop editing and Updater script editing work left(these are the most difficult BTW).
Update coming soon. Stay tuned.
I've updated the links. I've uploaded the new ROM. I've done with porting(i guess). I've used a lot of time.
Flash and review!

No wonder the ROM doesn't work.... Security patch is in a wrong format.
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2080-17-March"
It should be, "ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-01"
or,
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-05"
And this, hardly doubt this will work, but idk.
"ro.build.date.utc=999999999999"
Mistakes....................
EDIT**** Build id should be the app id: example lets say the id is 678, on build.prop, it would say 678.
you have, "ro.build.id=KUNAL"

You, sir, definitely have a lot to offer. I am afraid that this is not the actual problem. By now, I surely understand the importance of logs. Would be very helpful if someone could arrange me them.
And about your post it seemed really rude, raw, insulting and manipulating to me. But however, helpful. It makes it really hard to continue developing for a 6 years old Tab, with hardware that has nothing to offer in 2018. At least, I am trying.
Since, this was an Alpha build(because I moved sources) these problems are sure to arise. I did the same(build.prop things) with my kinda successful ROM MIUI 5(see it in the 7" forums).
I guess you haven't tasted port ROMs yet. They are hard to build. Alike your compiling ones, you have source, type some commands, turn your computer on for about 5 hours, when done upload it.
I am sure you must have did trail and error (in chemistry and math) porting ROMs is just the same. I am sure, that as a developer, you must know what logs actually mean.
But whatever, thank you for you review(insult I guess).

Sorry, I won't give permissions after different people used my ROMs as base in the past without permissions. Hope there is a learning affect....
Since i love OpenSource: Sources are available on every official GitHub (slim, Omni, Lineage, UA) and up to date (note: I wouldn't have to do this, I could keep all device trees private but I am updating them for everyone - always). You'll have to compile your own base ROM to use for such port ROMs (I am not a fan of).
