porting ST17/SK17/WT19 to mini ST15i or vice versa

[iONEx]

I see in a lot of threads ppl asking to port ROM's.

So instead of asking and waiting, you can do it yourself actually.

It's nothing more than replacing/overwriting files&folders.

This is what worked for me. I'm no expert, I figured this on my own. So it

may or may not be all correct. Feel free to correct me, I'm happy to learn




These are folder/files you have to copy from mini ROM to ROM you're porting:

in /etc replace:

sensors.conf
hw_config.sh
pre_hw_config.sh

in /etc/firmware delete .hex files and copy your own.

in /usr replace:

keychars folder
keylayout folder

[it's for hard and soft keys]


in /system/lib replace:

/hw folder

[contains the files which control the sensors and lights such as GPS and

the accelerometer]


>>>build.prop<<<

You have to change ALL SK17, ST17, WT19 entries to ST15i. Or the other way around ofc.

It's best to have a mini build.prop side by side and just do some copy/pasting

I hope this will be helpful

ppp, wifi and vold.fstab isn't need to replace.
From the firmware folder, you need just to delete the hex file/s, and copy your own.
And the last thing you need to edit the build.prop /ex: all SK17 lines to ST15/

Is there any other files to have to replace for the Mini Pro?

Mini Pro needs the keyboard-config folder in /system/usr
And almost forgot, mini pro has another /*mini,active and lww has the same*/ cam flash file in GB /system/usr/semc/camera.

What do you mean by the "hex" files? Also, in the build.prop (for example porting from LWW to Mini Pro) do I have to edit every single ST15 to SK17?

Mini Pro needs the keyboard-config folder in /system/usr
And almost forgot, mini pro has another /*mini,active and lww has the same*/ cam flash file in GB /system/usr/semc/camera/.

What do you mean by "/*mini,active and lww the same*/"??

yep... I forgot to add build.prop completely. I copy/pasted this in (a hurry obviously) from my post elsewhere.
That's also why I've wrote to replace ppp, wifi, vold.fstab

Thanx for your heads up!

Mini, active and lww has LM3560_00_flash, the mini pro has LM3561_00_flash.

The hex files are:
Mini: touch_smultron_sony.hex
Mini Pro: touch_mango_hitachi.hex, touch_mango_seiko.hex, touch_mango_sony_type1.hex, touch_mango_sony_type2.hex
Active: touch_satsuma_hitachi.hex
Lww: touch_coconut_tpk.hex
In /system/etc/firmware

I have done everything you guys had said
Now, if I flashed the ported ROM (That I did), it should work, right?
Obviously there are going to be problems but everything should be okay and no brick phone?
Thanks
