Yeah, the ICS styled version is still in alpha. A pity, that there are only a few functions implented yet...

[Dazzozo]

Are you planning on adding a 4.0.4 option? I wouldn't mind contributing to it.

[XMasterNinni]

Definitely. I'm planning to support more (mainly 800x480) devices too!

@Daz

You've got a server, do you?
Would it be possible to upload the base_roms for Method A onto it, as my Dropbox is pretty much used...

Yeah, sounds good.

[XMasterNinni]

Great, can you upload the ROMs mentioned in download_2.3.5 and download_2.3.7? And correct the links afterwards?

[Dazzozo]

Done.

[XMasterNinni]

Cheers!

I'll take Skate and Blade for 4.0.4 support, alright? You can upload lalit's ColdFusionX builds, as I'll use them. Can you take the Crescent?

Furthermore, I'm looking into supporting armv7 devices too. G300?

Hello,
I want to use this tool to port a Skate rom to Crescent but; Ubuntu won't dual boot on my laptop (I just get the purple screen of death followed by a blank black screen and I can't access any menus of any type, all I do is reboot back to Windows 7) and I am completely lost with Cygwin so I gave up.

Can you tell me what to do step by step?

Thanks

Hi Curtis, So do you have cygwin installed? how did these instructions go?

1) Install "Cygwin". Visit the xda page of dsixda's Android Kitchen to get more info on that. Mine is at C:\cygwin
2) Extract the portingtool archive to Cygwin/home/your_user_name.
3) Start Cygwin
4) Type "cd portingtool" without the ""!     (or whatever the portingtool folder you extracted was called,i just change it to 'portingtool' for ease)
5) Type "./portingtool.sh" without the ""!   (The .sh was missing fom one of the readme, maybe you have that one, i know i did )

Now you should be in the porting tool.
Choose option 1-menu, then method A, now choose our device C, now choose A (android2,3,5, same as skatie).
Now we have to extract the ROM we want to port into the port rom folder (C:\cygwin\home\yourname\portingtool\port_rom).

Now hit 'a' to start downloading the base rom.

That should be it. It should say your zip is here /portrom/port.zip.  Unfortunately i get an error and it doesnt download when i use cygwin but when i use ubuntu it works fine..

now you just have to be brave and flash it...

Hi xmaster, I seem to be still having this issue with cygwin, all seems to work fine on ubuntu. I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong..

Would be awesome if Blade II supports gets added.

[Dazzozo]

If you're willing to write the support for it, sure.

If it's not too difficult then I'm willing to do that.

[XMasterNinni]

Hi sui785!

Blade II would be awesome, yes! Do you have small Bash/Shell script skills and do you know how to use github?

Nope and nope, but always willing to learn. I dont have any Linux system though(only Mac and Windows)

[XMasterNinni]

Hi Daz, could you take over Jelly Bean support for the Crescent? Have a look at my latest commit!

Hi all, I think I've got cygwin working a little better! I've just run the latest blade mokee through and had these errors:

Tried to set up Cygwin again. Managed to install it etc but now what do I do?

I added the kitchen folder to my home directory but I get an error due to my directory having a space in the name, so I follow the instructions and move kitchen to home but then Cygwin doesn't load how it should so my commands don't work.

Any ideas?

[CurtisAndroidSF2]

Got everything set up in the end, made a new user account specifically for Android development so everything is sorted. I have a problem though. for some reason when I try to port a CM7 based ROM (Using Method A) it just constantly downloads the base ROM over and over again and gives an error but the error flashes off too quickly for me to get a chance to read it. So I have to use Method B but whenever I use that method the ported ROMs fail to install due to a problem that apparently has something to do with the build.prop (Going by what CWM says in the error message).

Any ideas?

Thanks
