this method has not been tested but by this method i was sucessfull in porting HTC SENSE 2.1
and please dont quote entire post

req=

>basic cmd skills

method

1=first copy the system.img from C:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-10\images
to original update folder in sygwin

2=now copy boot.img from your nanadroid backup or rom to same folder

3=now use kitchen to setup a working folder

4=in advanced menu selsect porting tools and selsect w to open boot.img

5=in boot.img folder open ramdisk and look for init.rc file of size <20kb of size open it and delete the line bootclasspath

replace it with this one
export BOOTCLASSPATH /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar

and save

6=now in ramdisk folder open default.prop

and change it to below lines


ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

7=now build boot.img

8=now hit 99 and a zip file will be created in output
copy to sd card
reboot recovery
wipe data and format system
flash this in your phone

9=reboot
if it boots up you will have gb ...but gsm and everything else wont work but can be fixed only if it boots up

FAQ

1=IT ISNT BOOTING
A=copy the attached ramdisk and replace the one in boot.img by openeing it and build it then build the rom again and flash

@Sam
Everything is ready, including repo sync.
Source is of 2.73GB.
My speed is of 15Kbps, i m ready to keep it for weeks but the super issue is power supply.
Everyday 1 and 1/2 hours of loadsheding is there and my UPS lasts hardly half hour.
What to do?????????
I am really frustrated by these MSEB electricity suppliers?
any way to do it quickly except increasing bandwidth which i m not getting frm any of my frnd.

 

[samrox144]

Don't worry it won't take weeks and keep it after load shedding so that power doesn't go again but due to your low speed there maybe failure of download of src

 

[varun.chitre15]

but i know it is not possible in 24hours i.e downloading 2.73gb in 24 hrs at 15kbps...its impossible

 

[samrox144]

It is but Google servers are very powerful and at night they may give you some good speeds... or why don't you use a 3g trick so that you get atleast 200lb speed

 

[varun.chitre15]

Even if they give me highest speed but how much TATA is gonna gimme?? not more than 15Kbps
Which trick r u talking abt?

 

[samrox144]

Why is that I'm Tata I get 1mbs do this just activate a 3g plan of 11 rs and see keep balance below 9rs when you activate 3g plan

 

[varun.chitre15]

Will it work in Maharashtra?

 

[samrox144]

Try it but keep balance below 10 and in maharastra aircel 3g trick is working that is unlimited 3g

 

[varun.chitre15]

can u mention the tata docomo trick(sorry we r moving off the subject pls reply in the sticky thread provided by insane_subro )

I'm using a 800 VA UPS for my entire home (only lights and fan, no power plug) with a 100 AH tubular battery. so power cuts are not affecting me as long as they are within 10 hours.

u can give me links to that,I will download n make rar files of 100mb or 300mb whatever u prefer n upload it to my mediafire account.then u can download it easily.no worry of powercuts too.but I will b able to do this on Monday only.

Thanks for ur help mastermind but it has no links and has to be downloaded from Ubuntu itself.

 

[mastermind1024]

I have got ubuntu too but it sounds like we have to get that using terminal via repo.tell me if anything i can do.from monday i will be free for almost a week.

 

[varun.chitre15]

do u have 50GB space??
then why don't u start building gingerbread.
We all are here to help you.
yes you are right, everything is using terminal only

 

[mastermind1024]

I don't have 50gb in my hdd but I have portable hdd of 1 tb..is this ok?

 

[varun.chitre15]

yes it is ok AFAIK
@sam
external 1TB HDD is OK?

 

[samrox144]

I don't have 50gb in my hdd but I have portable hdd of 1 tb..is this ok?

i will clear this you dont need 50gb space 30gb is enough and that is you make only one build and should have atleast 3ghz cpu speed
you have a portable hdd why dont you move everything to that and repartition your system
and last for gb you need a 64bit pc if you have 32bit then use it in virtual box then you can compile even ICS in 32bit

 

[mastermind1024]

Hmmm...my lappy capable of 64bit system but i m using 32bit but cpu is intel pentium dual core 1.60ghz...i think i will have to wait for my new lappy coming this feb(i5) but it's a long wait then.

 

[samrox144]

with 1.6ghz your compile will take atleast 8hours and with i5 processor it will take 45minutes
and virtual box is best if it is a 32bit system
