[GUIDE]Port Any ROM to HTC Tattoo(Maybe any other phone too)

In this Guide I Will teach you How to Port (almost) Any ROM to our HTC Tattoo (might work with every Phone)
Note:
The ROM which you are porting from will be referred to at PORT
The ROM to which you will make changes will be referred to as BASE
1. Delete system/app from the BASE and add the system/app from PORT to the BASE
2. Open system/bin in both and add the extra files from PORT to BASE (TIP : Easy way would be copy all the files from BASE to PORT , delete the ones in BASE and copy the ones in PORT)
3. Open system/etc in both...dont touch the folders in both...add the extra other files from PORT to BASE(PS : again the tip in step two can be used here )
4. Delete system/framework in BASE and add the system/framework from PORT To BASE
5. Open system/lib in both....add the extra .so files from PORT to BASE (PS : Use the tip from step two)
6. Delete system/media from BASE and add from system/media from PORT to BASE
7. Now open system/xbin in both...add the extra files from PORT to BASE (PS : Use the tip from step two)
8. Make Changes to build.prop and rename the .zip of BASE
9. Best of luck
REMEMBER at the end of this the BASE will be the ROM you are making!!!!
Also Remember try to use a PORT which has a screen resolution close to your device so that you dont have to resize.
Also this will not guarantee a fully functional build..though sometimes if you are in luck you may get a fully functional one

can please elaborate a little more about the build prop and its changes.
It want to try this thing for my own use and I had seen your CM7 modded with i style look and I need to port that on my wildfire.
So I understand everything but the build prop. where should I get that

Hi tanmay.sharma
It depends on the ROM
still , I'll give u examples
1. Porting say MIUI with CM7 as base
Change these lines
ro.build.version.incremental=eng.jenkins.20120615.144321
ro.config.ringtone=Playa.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=regulus.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=Alarm_Beep_03.ogg
ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7.2.0
TO
ro.build.version.incremental=Release 2.1
ro.config.ringtone=MI.ogg
ro.config.notification_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=GoodMorning.ogg
ro.modversion=Click MIUIv3
2. If porting another device rom, like i ported SEMC rom from X10 MINI
You will have to change these lines to the device u porting from like in this case X10 Mini
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.name=E10i_1254-2716
ro.product.device=E10i
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
and add more extra manufacturer lines!!!
Hope it helps
if more help needed feel free to ask!

Nope ..no shell needed ...gets the zips of both the rooms on your comp ...unpack using your favourite file manager (eg. WinRAR) ...do all the steps and repack..transfer to your phone.. flash it on your phone ..cross your fingers
Remember.. this doesn't always guarantee a perfect port.. there maybe some bugs!!

[TUT] [TEMPLATE] Creating Optimus Black ROM with AROMA Installer

CAUTION! This AROMA tut and template is for ROM Devs and Cooks only.
I have been getting requests from my fellow devs for AROMA configurations for Optimus Black P 970.
I hope this will jump start all ROMs here to adopt AROMA.
So here it is for all ROM devs and ROM cooks who want to use AROMA in their ROM.
I attached the AROMA template to be used. This is compatible with our OB Black. This is from Marvel v 9. I tried to explain the aroma script one by one in order for it to be understandable to anyone.
Ofcouse, lets give credit to amarullz for this wonderfull AROMA installer made available to all android devs.
What you need:
1. PC / Mac.
2. Your ready ROM for building/cooking.
3. Notepad++
4. Your modified aroma script from my attached template script.
Steps:
1. Of course, download the attached file.
2. Extract the folder META-INF in any folder.
3. Go to your ready to cook ROM, go to META-INF\com\google\android\ and copy the updater-scipt and the update-binary files to any folder of your choice.
4. Rename the update-binary to update-binary-installer
5. Delete the folder META-INF folder in your ROM.
6. Copy the whole folder from step 2, to the root directory of your ROM.
7. Copy the 2 files from steps 3 and 4, to the folder META-INF\com\google\android\ from step 6.
8. Then, go to META-INF\com\google\android\ and open the aroma-config file using Notepad++
9. There you will find the aroma script that I specially made for OB Black, every script is explained that if you want to change it, you can.
10. Build/Cook your ROM.
11. Flash the .zip file in CWM Recovery.
12. Congratz to your first AROMA installer ROM.
Enjoy!

thank you very much!
good tutorial

Great contribution... You have saved me a lot of work when I decide to adopt AROMA on my stuff...
Regards!

We can discuss OB AROMA specifics here. Just post your questions and I will try to give answers.

As of the latest version. Audio playing is not supported. I can ask in the AROMA tread, if this can be supported in the future. This can be a good addition.

Will it work on any ICS?
Will this mod work on any ICS ROM Like This ROM? Also where exactly in the system folder we have to put this file in I guess its should go inside /system/framework. Correct me if I'm wrong

I think it wont work for the rom which you specified..[i am not sure]..
yea directly if you paste it in framework folder...previous framework of rom will be replaced which makes phone not to boot[reason:as permissions are not set correctly]..
so first paste it in System folder,change permissions and then move apk to framework folder.. reboot enjoy..
Press Thanks if i helped you..

It'll work..but it'll contain tw files in it...it is a bad idea to paste directly....create a flashable package, nd flash it via recovery. naresh why don't you create flashable zip for it? Btw i am using 18dip...it is good too.
