error 6 is for error in update-script
so try finding error in update-script

and error 7 is or error in build.prop

    Here you have it people , I may be wrong at some places so please excuse me :)

    Requirements :
    winzip
    any file explorer on your desktop
    2 ROMs ( one of X10 and other )

    Suggestions :
    Use ROMs from Phones like NexusOne , HTC Desire
    all phones with QSD8250 and Adreno 200

    Method:
    Just do these changes to the files and have a Port which boots up

    Delete :
    /data folder
    boot.img
    /system/etc/firmware
    /system/etc/init.d

    Copy & Paste :
    in /system/bin -

    akmd2
    am
    bmgr
    chargemon
    charger
    fix_permissions
    hci_qcomm_init
    hci_attach
    ime
    input
    monkey
    pm
    port-bridge
    qumxd
    rild
    updatemiscta
    wlanmac
    wlantool
    ramdisk.tar/.gz

    /system/etc :

    replace all files in -
    bluetooth
    dhcpcd
    wifi
    firmware

    copy the files -
    apns-conf.xml
    dbus.conf
    DualMicControl
    gps.conf
    hosts
    init* files
    media-profiles.xml
    resolv.conf
    sensors.conf
    sysctl.conf
    vold.fstab

    /system/lib folder :

    delete and replace all files in:
    /system/lib/modules
    /system/lib/hw

    copy the following files
    in /system/lib/egl :
    All EXCEPT libGLES_android.so

    copy & replace these files :
    libauth.so
    libcm.so
    libdiag.so
    libdbus.so
    libdss.so
    libdsm.so
    libgsl.so
    libgstk_exp.so
    libmiscta.so
    libmmgsdilib.so
    libmmipl.so
    libmmjpeg.so
    libnv.so
    liboem_rapi.so
    liboemcamera.so
    liboncrpc.so
    libpbmlib.so
    libqmi.so
    libqueue.so
    libril.so
    libril-qc-1.so
    libuim.so
    libwms.so
    libwmsts.so

    /system/usr/keychars -
    es209ra_keypad.kcm
    and delete the original file (example : passion_keypad.kcm OR bravo_keypad.kcm)

    /system/usr/keylayout -
    es209ra*.kl
    do the same as with.kcm

    Replace :-
    Build.prop
    META-INF folder

    Cautions :-
    Use the same version of android to port
    You will need to change the build.prop to whatever you desire
    You may need to edit the update-script

    Porting gets over here !!!!!









    WAIT I'll Complete it later

    HOW TO COMPILE CM7 ROMS FROM SOURCE

    I have written this guide only for linux Users
    Bibliography -
    1.source.android.com
    2.wiki.cyanogenmod.com

    The guide starts here :-

    Install the ADB

    Install the Android SDK.

    2.Install the Build Packages

    Install using the package manager of your choice:

    For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:

    sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

    For 64-bit only systems:

    sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib

    NOTE: gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib is no longer available for Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, but should still build without issue.

    NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:

    sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"

    This will get you all the resources you need to build your CyanogenMod ROM

    3.Create the Directories

    You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.

    To create them:

    mkdir -p ~/bin
    mkdir -p ~/android/system

    4.Install the Repository

    Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:

    curl https://github.com/spaarc/tools_repo/repo > ~/bin/repo "OR" curl https://github.com/spaarc/tools_repo/blob/master/repo > ~/bin/repo
    chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

    NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.

    Now enter the following to initialize the repository:

    cd ~/android/system/
    repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
    repo sync -j16

    5.Copy proprietary files

    NOTE: This only needs done the first time you build.

    You will need to have a Xperia X10 with a working copy of CyanogenMod install and ADB working on the computer. This script will copy the proprietary files from the device.

    Connect the device to the computer and ensure that ADB is working properly.

    cd ~/android/system/device/SEMC/es209ra/
    ./extract-files.sh

    NOTE: If some hardware isn't working, like camcorder or FM radio, you will need to find the updated prop blobs.

    6.Download RomManager

    NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.

    Download RomManager which is needed by the build:

    ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager

    7.Building CyanogenMod

    Check for updates

    First, check for updates in the source:

    cd ~/android/system/
    repo sync

    Configure Build & Compile

    Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the Xperia X10

    . build/envsetup.sh && brunch es209ra

    Install

    Copy your .zip file from ~/android/system/out/target/product/es209ra/update.cm-XXXXX-signed.zip to the root of the SD card.

    Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card.

    Flash both of these .zip files from recovery.

    HOW TO MAKE THEMES

    There are 2 types of themes you can make :-

    1.Involving systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
    2.Involving the T-mobile Theme engine

    I will begin with LEVEL (1)

    There are two ways of doing this as well :D

    1.Classic Way
    2.The spaarc's cheap way (I use this one :D)

    CLASSIC WAY

    Requirements :-
    1.A cool head :D
    2.Apk Manager 4.4 (OR any APK editor , etc )
    3.Original Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
    4.Themed Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
    OR
    4.Many .PNG Images , In order to theme

    Method :-
    1.Use apk manager to decompile the original AND Themed apk's(i.e If you have a themed one)
    2.ONLY Replace files found in /res/drawable-hdpi folder
    3.ReCompile
    4.Just replace Using RootExplorer or make a update.zip

    Spaarc's Cheap Way

    This is top secret , but i will tell it you :D

    Requirements :-
    1.Computer
    2.7-zip
    3.Original Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
    4.Themed Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
    OR
    4.Many .PNG Images , In order to theme

    Method :-
    1.Use 7-zip to extract the apk
    2.Replace files
    3.Repack as zip using 7-zip again
    4.Rename to ".apk"
    5.Replace and Enjoy
