[Xt51]

Well here you go guys. Baseless Ports for the Optimus F6.

Thanks to Johnnyl1111 for the idea and help for multiple things to get this working!!
As well to Hroark For his CM11. You rock man!!
New thanks to Bard for showing me the biggest and most newbish mistake i've been making all this time..thanks man!

Disclaimer: You guys know the deal. So Don't come whining to me if your phone starts a bonfire and sacrifices your cat(or phone). I am not responsible for any damages done to your phone(morphing into a mechanical monster, etc, etc)

[If coming from different rom/stock]
1.)Boot into TWRP or CWM which ever one you have
2.)Factory Reset
3.)Flash Hroarks CM11 4.4.4
3.)Boot into the rom
4.)after you have everything set up, boot back into recovery and flash one of the bottom baseless ports. (No Need to Factory Reset)
5.) Reboot
6.) Enjoy!

[If coming from CM11 4.4.4]
1.) Just flash one of the baseless ports over the rom
2.)reboot
3.)Enjoy

No factory reset is needed before flashing baseless port!!

I'll add more as time progresses

is the touchwiz rom what i think it is? like samsung touchwiz?

 

[Hus]

Thanks for the work! Are these in a way themes or completely different ROM? I.e. do these ROMs fix any issues in latest CM11 beta or same issues?

Thank you for this!!! Will try out the TouchWiz Rom now.
What stage is this in?

Edit: Installation Aborted - Status 7

Really? What about the carbon rom? I think i know the problem. New upload tomorrow

BTW this is in beta stage. Still working on them. Adding new stuff etc, etc..

Also can you tell me the steps you took to flash it?

Yeah pretty much

Its pretty much just adding features and a new way to look at your phone. And not that I know of...

cant cuz it dnt wrk

 

[ksjd0414]

Lol dagger

 

[Xt51]

Followed all your steps, tried with different versions of CM11 (BETA 3 and 4.)

Really anxious to see TouchWiz on this phone.

Update OP Links.

Should work now..I fixed the updater script which was causing error 7 on flashing.

Im not very good at updater scripts so explains why it failed

 

[Xt51]

Installation aborted.
Edit: Logcat says the same as before. "Can't partition non-vfat: /external_sd (vfat)"

Omg....are you serious? Lol OK ima take down the links...expect an update either tomorrow or day after

 

[Xt51]

No problem, PM me if you need any testing and such.

Third times the charm!!!

Links are up, and ready to flash!

 

[Xt51]

Won't boot. Gives LG screen, then black screen with LED flashing.
After like 30 seconds it goes into recovery.

Hmmm..I've never encountered anything like that before...I'll check to see what's wrong. I think it has to do with touchwiz...have you tried flashing the other one? Carbon ROM?

BTW can you show me a log cat for that?

 

[David344]

Will these work with hroark13's KK 4.4.2.

I tried both, got recovery loop in both. Installed as your instructions stated.
@Xt51 I had looked at your original upload for CarbonRomT1.zip and noticed A few things:
The recovery log showed "set_perm: some changes failed".
Within that zips' system/ect/permissions there were no individual files that updater-script could change.
There was some .so files in cm11 though. So to give the installation some resources I copied over hroarks updater-script into that CarbonRomT1.zip which at least got the boot animation to show, but it still did A recovery loop.
I thought the next step should be to add the set_perm lines from your CarbonRomT1.zip updater-script to the set_perm section in hroarks updater-script. I have not tried that yet. Nor have I checked your latest zips but I plan to.
Do you have this F6 phone? I can look at recovery log again and upload it if you need.
Just letting you know that the boot animation showed with what I did in hope that would make sense and help you.

Thanks for the info! And currently no I don't...using my moms phone to make it and she doesn't like me using her phone. So I can't really test these fixes out. I'll see if I cab make some changes today and upload it today.

After trying to flash your TouchWiz ZIP it recovery loops me, so I KDZ to 12b root with towelroot and run the TWRP APK to flash it back then I went to recovery did a complete wipe and flashed the lastest CM11 and GAPPS but it does the same recovery loop... I can't flash anything

same thing happend to me Just flash the CM11-4.4.4 not the gaaps Do the set up.
Then boot into recovery again then flash any of the ports.
GAAPS are not compatible our CMrom is 4.4.4 already so it has the lates gaaps. if u need any of the new dailyrun tools ( calendar,gallery,browse,vending(market) GMSsettting,calculater,etc)
check this site Download Google Apps (GAPPS) for Android 4.4.x Kitkat (Updated)
For chrome G+,Hangout,Search,maps,Ytube, etc they willl update eventually.

What happened to this

Its difficult to get this to work. I keep getting bootloops...I finally managed to buy this phone a week ago so I can't test before I put them up. We'll see in the future how far this gets.
