[All In One Guide for Dummies] Porting ROMs/Building CM7 from Source/Themes |80% Done

---

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 !!!!!

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

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

CLASSIC WAY

Requirements :-
1.A cool head
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

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

T-MOBILE THEME CHOOSER

Follow this AWESOME guide
I don't have the time or patience of rewritting it in my cheeky tongue

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.
