[REF] Howto port NAND to NativeSD | Step-by-Step

@c1cl0n
you should use root user to make the new initrd.gz otherwise some weird problem will happen.
and change the Nand ROM to NativeSD if you based on the Nand ROM's init.rc
some contents in the file should be commented. (mount xxx )

Of course, if linux request root access, to make it, need to do it
I'm pointed this in guide:
If Linux talks about permissions, like Access Denied!, change your username to root by command:

c1cl0n@ubuntu:~$ sudo su
c1cl0n@root:~$ _[/COLOR][/B]

Thank you for your great work boxmax!
Could you please share the tytung 14 version to try it?

This is simple script to autoconvert initrd.gz in linux
- Put it some foler your initrd.gz file and this script
- Run terminal & execute commands:

~$ sudo su
~$ chmod +x ./repack
~$ gedit ./repack

- Change name of your port folder in this line:

cat ./init | sed s/ROMFOLDER/MYPORT/ > ../init

example:

cat ./init | sed s/ROMFOLDER/CM9/ > ../init

- Save changes & execute script:

./repack

hi c1cl0n
i am converted ics nand rom to native sd rom boot perfect
one problem no network
i have attached logcat
any idea
thanks

c1cl0n · Sep 26, 2012

Hi pvkanjiyani
I don't understand too many logcat errors, but some one, like "Unknown permission" may point to your META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
Verify original permissions (from NAND updater-script) with your
About network, I think you forgot to change kernel files (zImage and/or system\lib\modules)

Hi guys... Just trying to port a nand rom
Query - is it required that the zImage and kernel modules be used from the NativeSD rom? Is there any change in the zImage / kernel for NATIVESD roms compared to nand roms?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Does any one has made the initrd.tz and install.sh script for PA1.5b by Xolygraph ?

If YES, could you please share ?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your work (I already clicked the thanks button

)

There is a typo in the STEP 3
Where it says:

Now create temporary work folder, if it wasn't exist by command:
Quote:
c1cl0n@ubuntu:~$ md myport

Should be:

NativeSD to SD

I am searching for a utility like the portadroid which we were using to port the NAND ROMs to SD ROM
is it possible to fined one to do so from NativeSD to SD

This explanation may be used of nand to nativesd with nilfs. correct

I was trying to change the init in the initrd.gz file but its encrypted how could i change it sow i can change the rom name? Or must i change the locations in the init.rz? sow the rom will boot the correct one.

Get the v2 template (example.zip) from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31110719&postcount=2

And HypoTurtle's Patcher (and nativesd.sh.txt) from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953428 and put the extracted NativeSD folder into the extracted template folder (alongside other folders). Edit; rename nativesd.sh.txt to nativesd.sh and put in nativesd folder.

Put your nand ROM's (nand) zImage and initrd.gz in template's kernel/boot and kernel/bootSD (you will overwrite the initrd.gz later), put both in both.

Edit; Put the cert and manifest files from ROM's META_INF folder to the same directory in template's META_INF folder, and also any other folders (eg META_INF/com/android folder) if present should be copied over too.

When editing scripts, use Notepad++

Put the lines

Code:

package_extract_dir("NativeSD", "/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/nativesd.sh");
run_program("/tmp/nativesd.sh");

in template's (meta-inf/com/google/android) updater script before package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); in the SD-Ext install section.

And copy symlinks and permissions from your new ROMs updater script to template's updater script in the relevant section below SD-Ext install.

Edit template's aroma config with details of the ROM you are porting.

And put the nand initrd.gz in NativeSD folder

And put correct unique ROM_NAME in install.sh

Put the system folder from new ROM to template folder (delete any apps2SD APK from system/apps and from system/etc/init.d scripts)

Edit; At this point, if your rom does not support ppp (ie a magldr rom), then put the files from here into their respective folders in system. (When installing, the aroma option to chose rmnet or ppp depends on the ppp files being present ie if ppp is chosen-nothing happens, if rmnet is chosen-the ppp files are deleted)

Re-zip template contents and rename the zip to whatever

Flash using your favourite sd recovery

After flashing, you should have 2 extra .gz files in NativeSD folder, rename one of them to initrd.gz (overwrite) and see if it boots. if not, then try the other.

If it boots copy the initrd.gz from NativeSD to NativeSD/whetever-rom_name-you-chose and overwrite the one there, so that you can boot it after trying another ROM.

If you are posting the ROM, delete NativeSD folder from your template folder and remember to put a copy of your edited initrd.gz in kernel/bootSD.

Hope I haven't missed anything

Thanks to HypoTurtle, Xylograph, Securecrt, marco.palumbi, aroma ppl and others.

Edit; Different nand ROMs use aroma installer to install apps and options, you may have to play around with the aroma scripts to get these to work. Also, some ROMs have a data folder, you can add a line in updater script to install it.

Code:

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

after "package_extract_dir("system", "/system");"
