Hey Guyzzz...... I am Here to provide you the Guide on How to port Lollipop ROMs and MarshMallow ROMs on any Device

New Year Gift For You Guyz​

First Guide on XDA to port ROMs above 5.0.2 (Qualcomm Processor)​

Code:

KEEP THESE POINTS IN MIND
               
                This guide wont make you a full fledged dev.
                It teaches you the basics of porting ROMS. 
                If anything happens to your device I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for IT ! try it on your own risk !

Some Basic things u need to Know before Porting

Code:

The rom which you want to port for your device is named here as [B]PORT[/B] 
The rom which is already working for your device is called here as [B]BASE[/B]

Download Some Necessary Files From this Post​

1st extract ur base cm,aosp,etc rom on one folder
2nd extract ur Port rom in one folder

Now you can see

Step 1:​

Ubuntu guide
Now we need to decompress .dat to ext4 img

Open terminal and

Now enter this command

Code:

./sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img

By running this command u can see a system.img

Step 2 :​

decompress ext4 img to output folder

Now we will mount system.img

Enter this command

Code:

sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img output/

Now go to output folder and now u can see all folder and apk like a KitKat rom

Now do the same with port rom

Step 3:​

Now we will port

Delete some folders from base

Code:

base/system/app
base/system/fonts
base/system/framework
base/system/media
base/system/priv-app

and paste from port

Code:

port/system/priv-app
port/system/app 
port/system/fonts 
port/system/framework 
port/system/media

Now copy some important permissions and init.d files

Code:

port/system/etc/permissions
platform.xml
handheld_core_hardware.xml
handheld_hardware.xml

to base /base/system/etc/permissions

now go to port/system/etc/init.d
and copy

Code:

00banner

to base/system/etc/init.d

Now open the build.prop of both ROMS. Replace the values infront of following
lines in base from port
change frm port to base

Code:

ro.build.id=
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.version.release=
ro.product.model=
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=

base/system/build.prop
port/system/build.prop

Edit meta inf
Now go to metainf/com/google/android
And open updater-script with notepad++
And u can add

Code:

ui_print (" ur text");

and save it


Now we need to again compress rom

Now enter this command

Code:

./make_ext4fs -T 0 -S file_contexts -l 1073741824 -a system system_new.img output/

Now u can see ur system_new.img

Step 4:​

now we need to compress it back to .dat

Now enter command

Code:

./rimg2sdat my_new_system.img

Now u can see system.new.dat

Now just zip the ROM and flash
