Porting MIUI - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, pardon me if this is in the wrong section.
I've been doing some research, and I'd like to try to port MIUI to the Nexus 7.
I've found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499411
I'm not a complete newcomer, but I haven't built a rom since my days of owning a G1. I've already got an could anyone possibly point me in the direction of any tools or guides that may help me? I've already got the Android-SDK, so don't tell me to get that.
In the meantime, I'm going to try to build one myself. Wish me luck, and I'll post any results I may have!

Origignal German Tmobile rom needed or way to backup it.

Hey guys you really need to help me on this.
I wanted to update my athena to wm6. Unfortunatly i didnt run the unlocker before and now i can´t even do a hard resest.
But i can go in booloader mode. People adviced me run the unlocker but the athena isent recogniced by the unlocker. So i cant do this either. Except you can say to me what went wrong?
So i think the only thing to rescue my ameo is to get the original tmobile german rom so that i dont get the wrong vender id error.
If somebody of you can supply me with that it would be awesome. If not is there a way to make an installer or backup of the german rom. Because i have a friend who has a working ameo. But he is no geek. So the complex cant be to complex.
Plz help me my ameo is not running for days and i want to use it again.
You're going in the right direction by starting a new thread here. However, people with the skills may not be reading this forum. May I suggest that you post this question also on a forum more likely to be read by people who knows how to do this as well?
I was thinking maybe here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259 since your question is relevant to all phones, not just Ameo.
Also, all the ROM cooks must know. May be PM them will give you better chance of getting help?
There is this very clever guy by the name of dark simpson who started this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311909
I also suggest that you read this thread to get a feel of his area of expertise. I read only a few posts in the thread so far not think he definitely knows a tool that you can use to extract your ROM. Read this thread to see if your question is already answered. Else may be you could PM him to give you pointers on how to solve your problem.
Good luck, and I hope you get it working soon.
thank you that helps i will check the thread.
See the next post
This article is more directly relevant for your problem.

He outlined 9 steps there. The first step could be ignored as it deals with installing Olipro's unlocker.
Step 2 to 8 deals with backing up the ROM. Some steps pertains to optimizing the size of the bin file and is not really needed, but I guess there is no harm still. All the tools you need are there too. Step 9 is to flash the WM5 rom created by step 2 to 8.
After that, you could install Olipro's unlocker then flash to PK 3.0.
The author of this thread, Paul, looks like a nice and helpful guy. I suggest that you read his articleon how to back up ROM carefully. It's on a different device,but I think the principle is the same. Once you have understood the step, get him to help you to adapt the procedure for Ameo.
Hope that helps you.

thank you that looks quit complicated, i dont know if i can convice the friend to install a lot of apps on his device, he is more like a bussines partner but perhaps i find somebody on the net, who will do it for me and i can supply them with the guide.
What do you think in which forum im most likly to find somebody with the original german tmobile rom?
If you read the link carefully, you'll see that there is no need to install anything on your friend's unit. It will only do a read. Not write involved. Anyway, the most likely forum where people have that ROM is here.
Anyone still on Tmobile WM5 (german) able to help?
hey i carefully read the thread and even i don´t understand it fully. Its not that easy to do. I don´t think he can do it. This is procedure for experts. Anybody must have the original rom here.
ok thanks for your help. I found the solution in a german forum. For everybody needing the german rom go to http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?p=964813#post964813

[WIKI] Backing up ROM steps ain't cool

Hi guys,
I'm trying to learn how to back up my phones ROM from the WIKI cos I'm a n00b but the guide in there ain't as simple or straightforward as it makes out to be.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078601&postcount=4
Step 4 is wrong or there are some pre-requisites to this guide missing.
Sorry to post new thread but I tried to use the WIKI for what I need and it ain't cutting it.
Can anyone please help me out by updating the WIKI or giving better instructions on how to do this?
Cheers.
So no-one knows how to backup a ROM?
I thought this was the place where HTC experts hang out?
All the steps are correct ... please try again.
No they're not correct ... where are the steps about adding the itsutils.dll to the device? I had to look at another forum (as in different to xda-developers) to find that out, plus step 4 would also make sense if it said "pdocread -l" instead of "itsutils -l".
What is the point of making a WIKI if it aint compatible for n00bs?
Back to the drawing board boys ....

[Q] Building my own CyanogenMOD ROM

Well, it's all in the title and I'm sure it has been asked but I'd like it to be more HD2-specific.
Can someone point me to a blog, xda thread or wiki that explains how to cook your own CM rom ? HD2 related or something that would do.
I know a lot of threads that tells you where to start and what to do...but not much explaining the process all the way through, in order to understand it.
Any help on this ?
Thanks !
Well nothing ?
its been less than 24 hours
google is problem your best option or sending a message to one of the actual devs and waiting for a reply
Yeah I already contacted one...
Don't get me wrong: I've done some research but it's hard to encounter a step-by-step guide or a real bible.
Thanks.
yeah it is difficult to find the info, there are kitchens available but they dont really give you information on how to write the scripts etc which i think comes down to just having the knowledge of where to start and what to look for to modify/hack
Exactly. Wiki's tend to tell you "type this in terminal" but why I should do it, that they don't say. Of course, they can't explain every specitif command but at least the ones really related to the cooking rom process...

Alternative to 4.3

hello and let me first apologize if this is yet another post on another ROM.
I have a nexus4, and after the last update for 4.3 is battery time really been bad, even after a reset.
so I could use a little help around the CyanogenMod.
I think there are so many different versions of CyanogenMod.
if there is a kind soul who could help me find what I need (the right link), I will be overjoyed.
my phone is not rooted yet, it must be right? so lacking I also help to find a guide.
someone who can help find what I need?
best regards
setfire.
having a good day.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179 this should clear up any questions about unlocking the bootloader,rooting etc
This is also a ROM I would recommend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2385619
I would also suggest spending some time reading in the forums as most questions will of already been answered,plenty of solid information to be found,
All the best

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why do you need installation instructions? It's the same as any other ROM. Custom recovery, factory reset, install ROM, install gapps. Reboot
#stayparanoid
because sir,
it reassures people who have never done it before....a small example...i am 43 years old and until feb of this year i had never used an android device,then one day my brother came over and gave me one and voila i was introduced to android and have never looked back..my point being...there are new people discovering android every single day...we are labeled....NOOBS...by the community...and for good reason,we know little if nothing about the devices we own...but as you....and maybe many people all over the globe were once also NOOBS you can understand that a friendly bit of info..like installation instructions...can go a very long way to helping people feel better about what they are doing...and save everyone who has to help them out,(when they maybe mess it up),wasting their time when i am sure they could/will have better things to do...capeesh...
There are tutorials EVERYWHERE. Xda, YouTube, blogs. This is not ROM specific. Why do we need to rehash the same things that are already published out there? Use the info that is already there. No need for us to rewrite it. Flashing Roms requires learning the lingo, the proper tools, and the willingness to learn how to recover from failure. This website contains more knowledge than you can imagine on these things. The onus is on you to learn what others have already provided.

Questions before buy Oppo 7
Hi
I love the paranoid rom, thanks a lot!!!
I have figured out that many questions is answered in change log, but as a not so experienced user i hope the community will answer me in this thread, by prose or by links, thanks!
Before i buy oppo 7 i like to ask a few questions.
- is headset play, paus, skip volume etc part of PA rom; when the screen is on, and off?
- support PA install apps on sd card, or can it move apps to sd card?
- what steps is recommended before i root and before i change rom to PA? Do i need to take some backup of important info? This question is due to possibility to restore phone to "original"
