also, try the quick port steps, because sometimes permissions won't let the rom boot

I wonder if is a good idea to leave framework storage_list.xml on base as it is and not use the one from port ROM?
Reason I ask is if the ROM I'm porting have some difference in hardware. Before I mess with it I ask just in case. Lol
Thanks as I successfully ported a nexus 5 aosp ROM into a smaller device like razor HD. The only thing is that is 50-50 as for some it boots perfect but for others get stuck on bootloop

Any ideas?
True is I need to decompile/compile/sign as I do for any port anyway to make some edits to it but was wondering if this can work as the processor speed are different by a ton
Any ideas?

well without changing that xml, the rom will still boot, but if there is no internal storage then you need to change it to the base roms

Yeah, if your got the windows 7 drivers I would install it, but if not install ubuntu 13.10, its way better than 10.04 with more support

54Many users have had trouble porting Roms due to Google's new file System optimizations and Setup. Here I will show you how too, this guide works 9.5/10 times:highfive:
Your base Rom MUST Be Cyanogenmod, this guide is also known to work on AOSP Android 4.4, You can NOT Port different android versions!!! Also, Devices need to be the same resolution! Also You can NOT port CM Based roms with AOSP as a base! You can NOT port CM based roms with AOKP. Same goes for vice verse!
Also, YOU CANNOT USE STOCK AS A BASE OR PORT STOCK ROMS!
Before we get Started, you need:- Winrar - For extracting and building zips
- Notepad ++ - For editing scripts
- Tiny bit of experience with the Android File System
- 20 minutes of your Life
- A Desktop (Windows/Linux/Mac - Works on all!)
- A Brain
Lets Clear Up Some Fog:
Q. What Is Base Rom?
A. The Rom which Is developed and working for YOUR Device.
Q. What is Port Rom?
A. The Rom that you want to port to your Device.
Q. What Roms Can I port?
A. Any Cyanogenmod Based Roms, and AOSP based You cannot port AOSP to CM Based roms with this guide. For AOSP you can only port AOSP based roms, same goes for AOKP.
Q. What about Hybrid Roms? Can I port those?
A.Yes and No. Before you port Hybrid Roms, read the threads carefully. Hybrid Roms are based on one Rom with "cherrypicks" of others. Find out what it is based on. If it is based on CM with cherrypick from aosp, slimrom,etc. than use CM as base rom If it is based on AOSP with cherrypicks of CM than use AOSP a base rom.

33Fixing a Bootloop:
Your Port should take less than 5-8 minutes to boot. When the screen dims during boot logo, your Rom has successfully boot:highfive: But If your waiting for like 15 minutes, and boot logo is still going, YOU HAVE A BOOTLOOP. Luckily, the fix is easy!

7If you are having trouble with this Guide, I have another method I call the Quick Port Test.This saved me alot of time and energy to get ports booting. All you have to do is:
- Follow Steps 1-7 and Skip the rest
- Now do Step 16 and Flash
Thats it! It takes less than 10 minutes! If you have Bootloop trouble Follow all the setps in Section 2.33
