[HELP], how to port rom?

[ericlin]

I ever customized several wizard roms, but regarding porting ROM, I'm a newbie.

Let's think about two scenarios:
1. If I got an AKU 3.x ROM of other phone, i.e., a ROM of Artemis
2. If I got a WM6 ROM of other phone which version is newer than any current known ROMs, i.e., a Hermes WM6 ROM

If I want to port the ROM to run on a wizard, what are the most important files, modules, drivers or something like XIP section we need to port? are there any different steps when porting within those two scenarios? Will somebody make a brief introduction or write a tutorial here?

Bepe, mUn, Faria and other talent guys, I know you're expert on this, please show me your hands and help on this, thank you.

I am too learning this ... seems pretty tricky if not near impossible without proper XIP section. Meaning that if you want to port WM6 to a device that didn't had a WM6 it's impossible ... or very close to that.

Take this as an example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1243434&postcount=172

Not the actual files, those are device specific (xip.bin for example) but a little guide.
