Port Miui To Htc Desire HD
- Thread starter Matgarro
- Start date
I did some further tests (i'm not an expert, and no member give me advice ... so i try things that make sense for me, but i could be totaly wrong)
I donwloaded the lastest MUI for N1 (because N1 always has last version before others)
I extract the zip
I changed the build.prop values
into (the one found on CM for DHD)
I removed the asserts checks in the updater-script (so it will not say that i don't have the right phone ^^)
I replace the boot.img by a CM 6.1 RC2 for DHD boot.img
I deleted the /system/lib/modules and replaced it by the same directory from CM 6.1 RC2 for DHD
zip the files, signed the zip file and put it on phone
it flash ... but after a while, it give me an error 7 on write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot") (so the last part of the flash has error
)
I tried the same without replacing the kernel and modules, but the same things happens ....
if someone has ideas, i'll test it (it is almost impossible to brick an android phone ^^)

i don't think that porting a rom need a lot of programming skill..., it is more logical skill (disable commands that are not for the device, add drivers or kernel, change the scripts ..) at least for having a beginning.
I don't expect a first port to have all stuff working ....
but like i'd say, i never ported a rom...
android is free and open source, there is a great community, but for firmware stuff it is like you need to offer 500$ to receive help ....
I can understand, than some people don't want to answer every noob question. But is this a reason for not having a tutorial or at least some advices ....

I also tried porting both from the Desire Z and Evo but without success... All I did was change all the stuff in build.prop and the updater-script and I replaced the kernel + modules but it didn't even get past the HTC scrren :s
So, I got 0.12.18 running.
I took g4rb4g3 port to Desire Z from xda :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871344
I changed the boot.img and the kernel modules from CM6.1-RC2.
I copied the update-binary from the CM6.1-RC2 and patched updater-script, replacing vision by ace.
It seems to work fine but... home/menu/back/search buttons are not working... there is haptic feedback when touching them, but no action.
So, now, I am searching where the actions of these keys are set...

great news, thanks for the feedback...
i never read something about copying the update-binary, but i'm glad you tried it
did you also copy the /system/lib/modules from cyanogen to miui ?
di you also try
bluethooth
camera
a game (to be sure 3d is enabled, even if i guess it is... because Z and HD has the same GPU)
the flash
the light sensor
once again thanks for the feedback and the tips i'll try to do same

In fact, from what I have understood, update-binary is the executable who knows how to access to physical partition, so it may be the reason why it must be copied (not sure).
Here is a summary of the files I copied :
And I replaced "vision" by "ace" in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
Bluetooth, camera, 3D, flash, proximity and ligne sensors are working for me
To get sound working, I tried to copy these files from CM6.2-RC2, but did not get any sound
I will try again tomorrow to get it working ! I am sure it can !!
Here is a summary of the files I copied :
Code:
/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
/boot.img
/system/lib/modules/*
/system/usr/keychars/spade-keypad.kcm.bin
/system/usr/keylayout/spade-keypad.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/spade-keypad-v0.klBluetooth, camera, 3D, flash, proximity and ligne sensors are working for me
To get sound working, I tried to copy these files from CM6.2-RC2, but did not get any sound
Code:
/system/lib/libhtc_acoustic.so
/system/etc/firmware/*
/system/etc/A1026_CFG.csv
/system/etc/AudioBTID.csv
/system/etc/CodecDSPID.txt
/system/etc/AIC3254_REG_DualMic.csv
/system/etc/AIC3254_REG.csv
/system/etc/AdieHWCodec_WA.csv
/system/etc/AdieHWCodec.csvGood luck Alain
I am also trying to get the original N1 version of MIUI booting, as I think it would be cleaner to port from an original ROM.
I have tried to copy all the previously mentioned files from CM but I still get black screen / boot loop after the green HTC
I asked g4rb4g3 if he can provide me some hints !

I just tried to port the z firmware and indeed there was no sound and Mic.
but WiFi didn't work too I have error when enabling it
I also saw that the camera do only 5mpx pics
Maybe this came because I did not replace the firmware directory
This Rom is beautiful but a lot iphonish but I love it
I'll try further things in a couple of hours...
