I'm just trying to port original Paranoid Android. No it wont be the newest version. No I'm not building it from source. Yes its built of the unofficial CM10 most of us use. But if I want to learn how to do all that shit. Gotta start somewhere. I've gotten it to successfully flash, and load, bootloop though, working on it...
 
it would probably be easier to build it from source should you have the means to do so. turning cm10 into paranoid android is gonna be a huge task if you want it done right

if you are gonna continue with this mission though, dont replace everything at once, replace one thing at a time, take one file, toss it in there, see if it boots up, then move onto the next, dont touch the boot.img, youll need the cm10 one, and dont replace device specific things, the hw folder in the lib directory for instance

also most of the things youll need to change are gonna be in the framework directory and the app directory, some of the etc directory but not all of it, start with framework and app and work your way up those are gonna be the layout and default programs

all thats done and transfered. I got the bootscreen to load and run, but after like 20 seconds, just the spot where the little mans located goes white.
I'm pretty sure its gotta be a screen resoution dpi thing.

Folder by folder, file by file, is exactly the way im doing this.
its all a build.prop issue. And I know it.
 
The framework is set up. Switching out the CM apps, with PA is done. eg. Paranoid Preferences. Default apps too.

Right now I'm running my repo sync with git. And getting the google source.
So yeah....its going to be awhile.
 
lol yea syncing takes a minute. but youre replacing one file, trying it, then replacing another, trying it? and also itd probably require manually opening up alot of the framework files kuz there are things in there that will be device specific. i doubt the build.prop has anything to do with it honestly

like i said your best bet is to build from source. that way itll custom make everything it needs to the problem with that is youll have to adjust some things like the boardconfig most likely but if you give us logs from the builds we might be able to figure it out if you cant figure it out yourself that is

Im totally cool with both of those situations going on. I'm just trying to bang my head against the wall right now figuring this crap out. When I get to a real wall though I'll reach out.
 
That works, we're here if you need us but theres plenty of resources around the net that can help too and alot of times things can be self explanitory once you get the general concepts. If you hit a wall and just need a shove in the right direction we can do that too. Teach you to find the answer instead of giving it to you
 
ive said it before and ill say it again, i firmly believe that if you give a man a fish it will only help him in the moment, teaching a man to fish will help them for the rest of their life. thats why i was hesitant to release my original auto installer for cwm but in the end it just solved so many issues and saved us all alot of time and trouble
