Jellybean Porting Thread

This thread is to assist porting of Android 4.1 (Jellybean) to ICS devices
A good base ROM for porting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Ramdisk diff
This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device. Some notes that are not shown in the diff are that /sbin/adbd and init changed -- These are both binaries so they need to be manually taken from the jb ramdisk.

I think I might just start from scratch again and use this to make a new first version.I hope this can help me get a booting version for the Sensation, but I make no promises. What I have so far is just bootlooping. Thanks for your work and the post......

Edited: Nvm I got it. I'm dumb.

The main thing you have to edit is the init.rc, but you may need to edit other things as well. I still have not found the right combinations of edits for my port to boot, Anyway use something like WinMerge to compare the files from the ramdisk of your base ROM with the ramdisk of the SDK. You can also edit the files while you have them in WinMerge.

Thank you so much, I will definitely try using that tool, and that gives me a direction to try towards.
cheers!

Ok guys i feel like im getting closer. The exact error im getting is,
Could not find method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled, referenced from method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.<init>
Anyone have any ideas? I know that settings is crashing but i don't know what to do about it. Here is the full logcat http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065069/

Is the whole pastebin is to replace everything in init.rc? Or some of it?

That means that it can not find com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled that is referenced in the init of the ramdisk. So you need to look at the init of the ramdisk and see where it is looking for that file and then place that file where it is suppose to be.
Also I finally got my port booting but it does not get passed the bootanimation and I got the adb working, yay.

[SOLVED]Can't change boot animation

Currently using stock. Ddle1
Rooted
In newer firmwares sammy is using .qmg format so we are not able to change banimation
By using banimation fix by Deathnotice01 we can change it bt after applying that I can't change my bootanimation
When I flash or replace and reboot my phone
It starts showing animation but phone doesn't boot

the working part is only bootanim and samsungani..you can delete the others. It will be better if you edit the updater script since the original one might messed up your system. Sadly, thats not enough to make your bootanimation work. You have to make sure that you have correct setting for desc.txt in the bootanimation zip file. If you could tell me the content of that file i might could help you.

[Solved] How to tweak the proximity sensor?

Im on stock froyo and rooted.
I was using Kirillos roms before and the proximity sensor was working fine. Now with the stock rom it works, but when i make a call, and when i finish the call the screen stays off for a 3-4 seconds and i cant end the call coz i dont see anything on the screen. Is there some file that i can modify so the sensor is more responsive or to change some time values?

Open /system/build.prop via any root explorer in your galaxy 3, search for mot.proximity.delay and change its value to 150 so it should look like this:
mot.proximity.delay=150
save and reboot. Enjoy!

Just add that line to the end of build.prop.
And you must leave last line of build.prop empty.

I'm doing something wrong, or this just doesnt work for me.. I added the line at the end of the file, one line empty, and its still the same. I must wait for the other side to hung up coz my screen remains black. Its very annoying.
I thing i must flash some custom rom with the tweaks included. But on the custom roms the remote control apps like logmein and teamviewer dont work(kirillios).
Here is the build.prop in the attachment so you can see am i doing it right?

I did it!
With the help of rkoby13 So big thanks to him. rkoby13's words:
just try to extract build.prop from one of my rom version....i think v 2.5 will be the best and open build.prop and then copy Hercolubus tweaks to your build.prop.....set permissions and reboot....now it should be all fine..

[HOWTO] Access build.prop without root!

Hello all, Here I present a tutorial on how to access build.prop without root!
If you havent already, Download ES File Explorer.
After installation, open it.
You are most likely to be landed on mnt/sdcard.
Click "Favorites".
Click the "/" with the phone icon.
After getting there, find the "system" folder.
Look for a file called "build.prop"
If prompted, open with any text file editor you have.
VOILA! You have now accessed the build.prop without root!
Press Thanks if I helped.

thanks a lot bro
i find it as a nice tip
i never knew of this feature thanks a lot

Im not gonna try this as i already have root and access to build.prop. But im gonna go ahead and say it wont work. Sure you can get to the build.prop location and file but will it even open? Its in /system and unless you have access to /system (root) then how are you going to open any files unless the system allows it? Going through files and seeing them is one thing. Opening and editing them is another.
That's right, I'm the premium potaytoman and i seek the TROOOOOF! Problem?

Without rooting you wont be able to save in build.prop. you need to be rooted for saving the desired value.

Do not be hurt, but at least this could be a joke of the week

At least you seemed clever enough to try. But like someone above me said. You have to be rooted to edit it and save it. Sure you can do whatever at first but if you cant save then then nothing will change.

Hi all, I know that this is not a question related to Sexynogen Rom, but I hope you could help me.
The problem is: I need to create an init.d script that erase the entire content of a folder on boot of the phone so I'll explain you what I did... Maybe someone can explain me where I'm wrong.
I've created a .sh file with this simple string
Code:
rm -rf /sdcard/splitter/*
I've called this file elimina.sh and put it inside /data/ with 777 permissions (rwx-rwx-rwx)
So I've created a file with no extension with this lines
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
run_program("/data/elimina.sh", "");
I've put it inside init.d folder with rwx-rx-rx permissions but when I restart the phone, the files inside the folder are still there.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

Thank you very much for your interest in my stupid vicissitude.
I've solved with Script Manager from Play Store, but I'll try to explain you what was my problem.
I've installed an app that create an unnecessary folder that grew size at each utilization of it, so, to avoid that this folder became too big (and my /sdcard/ became full), I've tought that maybe with an init.d script I should delete all the files inside this folder on boot.
So I tried to write a simple script but it doesn't work, so I've decided to use Script Manager (like @ktulu84 suggested to me).
If you can help me so I have not to use Script Manager it would be great, otherwise I'll continue to use that app.

I found it at your main thread of sexynogen

battery life is not rom dependent. memorize it.
if someone calling himself romdev done his job right battery life will be = stock firmware.
if he screwed up it will bee draining, lagging, restarting and so on.
nothing can be done aside of not using data connection/wifi setting brighteness to low and cpu to consrvative and downlclocking it.
but that could be done on stock firmware also, like such with no firmware alteration, standby drain
