So we can port 2.3.5. and 2.3.7 roms, correct?

[XMasterNinni]

Correct.

[Coffer52]

Wow, cool!

[hugobosslives]

cheers man. will definitely have a look in into this when i have some time

[razzmataz1478]

I'm going to give it a go when I've finished downloading from a site that virgin have already blocked on windows.

What kernel does it use?

Edited by razzmataz1478, 02 May 2012 - 06:25 PM.

[XMasterNinni]

It depends on which ROM you use as base...

The tool changes the whole boot.img, so, if you port a 2.3.5 ROM it uses the Stock Kernel.

I'll add some tips on how to get things working after porting in post #3 later...

Ah...

If you have a Skate, put the Blade ROM into Skate/port_rom.

Let the base_rom folder as it is.

And read the readme first, there's an importanant note!

[razzmataz1478]

I have no luck wth this so far, it just keeps creating a zip with a boot.img and a system placeholder

[XMasterNinni]

Did you first start the tool, then extract the ROM you want to port to Skate/port_rom and finally continue?

[sacat]

hello all
sorry fom my english

i don't have any experience but i would try :
i have an original rom from a zte blade s which support eap-sim protocol. If i port this rom into a zte skate, could eap sim protocol be enabled in skate rom?

I guess this is the right way to go about doing it?

[XMasterNinni]

Yes
