Attn: Dev's - Porting your ROM to the D2 made easy

[kejar31]

OK guys I am posting the files I needed to port my 2.3.340 based ROM, GummyJAR, to the D2..

This should work for any 320/340 DX ROM really.

Now with my ROM I also had to include the AOSP keyboard as the Gingerbread one doesn't work right on the D2.. Also make sure to to redue your build.prop edits as this update comes with a build.prop


Here is an update.zip with all the needed files





Please if you like my work donate as I would like to buy other phones to build other ROMS

Thank you! Shouldn't be long now... many more DX themes will fill the forum. Great work! Got your PM btw... I'll let you know what I figure out as far as theming.

so all you do is flash your DX rom of choice, then update.zip this over it?

I may be wrong, but my understanding was that this is for the ROM devs to easily make there DX ROM work with the D2.

i figured that but since its in update.zip form i was wondering why it was titled that?

I wondered same thing.. so you're not alone on that.

If you have a DX based rom that is based on 2.3.320 or 2.3.340 and it boots to the D2 and has issues with the keyboard, camera, and music playback...

yes you can simply boot into recovery and install this update and it should fix it.

Is it possible to insert these files before flashing? would that be easier?

 

[kejar31]

Sure you can

 

[wmnomore]

will it need to be rezipped?

 

[Azurikai]

will it need to be rezipped?

yeah you'd have to rezip it and sign it.

 

[wmnomore]

Guess I'll have to look into how to do that.
In looking at a dx rom and your porting files, there are some differences and i cannot just replace files. In meta folder, there is an update-script and in dx rom there is an updater-script. same thing?

 

[wmnomore]

what about cert and manifest files? replacable?

 

[bookie]

How exactly do you go about signing it?

Just take the files from my update and past them over the top of the files in the rom you are trying to port within that rims zip usinf 7zip or winrar.. no need to unzip the rom nor resign it
