[DEV] LeWaOS Port

[estabien]

So this is what I've done so far and it still won't boot:

- I did what Gannon said and replaced the media, app, and framework folder + libandroidruntime.so
- I edited the SystemUI.apk to work for our phones (which at first I thought was what was holding it back)

What next? I'm still new to this and any help would be appreciated...

NOW I AM WORKING WITH MY FABULOUS STOCK ROM. I am uploading what I have so far as I speak.

Now for anyone willing to help... Link to what I have so far. But remember that if you try to flash it as is it will NOT work... this is for dev purposes only.

I found this for the Optimus V/heroc and fell in love with it (or the screenshots at least). I've tried porting but I've always gotten bootloop because we have no CM9 or ICS to use as a base.

Would there be any way to port this completely (working themes, etc.)

Sent from me to the Internet to you...

You don't need an ICS port, LeWa for the OV runs on GB, in fact it's version 2.3.7

OMG.

Then I could port it! I'd just have to change the apps folder, media folder, and a few others right? But the last time that I did that it didn't work, but maybe it was because I was using Gelato?

I can try with Mobster ROM...

EDIT: I think I might know the problem, and that problem has to do with systemUI.apk...

I found the problem. Editing the SystemUI.apk as I speak.

I wouldn't know what the issue is, not even sure hot to patch systemUI.apk but you'd be doing me the greatest favor if you actually ported LeWa, that is by far my favorite custom rom.

Just curious, how did you find the issue?

Re: Porting LeWa OS to the Slider?

Yeah. I know that at least part of the reason is the Signal Bars because they're set up differently than they are on the OS. after I rename them I'm going to test it...

I can't believe I didn't think to check before.

EDIT: I found it by using apk manager to look at the images inside et voila- they're not named properly because LG used different names for them. But the good thing is that from experience the only thing I have to change are the signal bars

Re: Porting LeWa OS to the Slider?

Yeah. As soon as it boots and works fine (which it should) I will be posting it.

I'm really excited too. If it doesn't work... I'll be disappointed but I'll still work on it.

EDIT: Just flashed and am booting... I'll keep y'all updated.

EDIT 2: It didn't boot but I'm going to try to change the libandroidruntime.so thing... maybe that'll do it...

EDIT 3: If anyone wants to check out the non-working zip I can post it...

What you mentioned in your second edit might be the issue, I remember Gannon left it out the one time he tried porting LeWa to the Slider not too long ago. On a side note did you overwrite the old build.prop with the LeWa one or did you add all of the needed info onto the existing build.prop file of the stock rom?

I kept the build.prop as is... I'll compare the two now.

Okay, so it's still not booting even despite changing the libandroidruntime.so to the one from the original OV port (as the one that he told me to add isn't available anymore.)

EDIT: what should I change in the build.prop?

I don't exactly remember, Gannon may be able to point you in the right direction. The files may still be in the old LeWa posts. I'm gonna check to see if I still have the libandroidruntime.so he posted.

OMG YES THANKS.

I would still have it but I had to restore my computer and I found my old SD card with more memory and now I can't find the old one.

xD I'll pm him if this doesn't work this time.

EDIT: and if you still have the full ROM that he attempted to port to the slider (with the libandroidruntime.so), would you mind uploading it? I really think that the problem with Gannon's was the SystemUI.apk which I could replace.

The last place I haven't checked was my drobox account, let's hope it's there.

Edit: couldn't find it, I'm gonna ask him if the files still exist or what he did to get his results with the port.

I should be thanking you even more, I believe you're onto something and I'd be happy to support you in whatever way I can. I'm sorry I can't find the files, I'm gonna have to ask again or try looking harder this time.

It's okay.

I'll just PM Gannon about the situation and see if he still has the ROM that he tried to make but bootlooped- I remember it getting past the LG screen which this one isn't doing, so I think that would be our best bet.
