[ROMS][KK][From Source] Sonic ROM [SOKP] & [PORTED] XenonHD & BeanStalk

OmarEinea · Mar 30, 2014

Hello Everyone!!

So here is a new ROM I compiled yesterday, it does have a lot of features and it is called SONIC OPEN KANG PROJECT
I didn't open a new thread for it because I'm not gonna be updating it unless many users encourage me to do so...

Anyway I thought I should share it with you guys, for who ever wanna test it

Here is this ROM's features:

Hello Guys,
Since our lovely Z1C is relatively new, it doesn't have many CM based ROMs, so I thought why not porting some

from the closest phone to ours (which is obviously Xperia Z1).

So I'll be presenting five ports for five ROMs as mentioned in the title, but I'm gonna start with a simple guide for how to port the ROM yourselves

All you have to do to port a CM11 based ROM from Z1 is:

Download the Z1 ROM and extract it wherever you want
Open META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with any text editor and remove first five lines (assert)
Download This for old builds, and This for new builds, then unzip it
Copy and replace "boot.img" from the previous zip to your Z1 ROM
Copy and replace "modules" folder to system\lib\modules in your Z1 ROM
Open system/build.prop with any text editor and change this value:

Code:

# Graphics
ro.sf.lcd_density=480

to become:

Code:

# Graphics
ro.sf.lcd_density=320

that is it, although there are optional things you may do before compressing the ported ROM:

In system/build.prop search for honami and replace them with amami
And then search for C6903 and replace them with D5503
Also you may wonna add "Compact" here:

ro.product.model=Xperia Z1 Compact

Click to expand...

Click to collapse
You may also open META-INF\com\android\metadata and do the same replaces
Resign the ROM.zip after compressing it

Important Notes:

DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
You must be running KK ROM before flashing these ROMs down below
This method won't work on Slimkat, although you can grab it from Here
All bugs in these ROMs are related to the original ROM not issues caused by posting
Fell free to report any bugs you face though, and I'll enlist them in known issues
PacMan ROM and MoKee ROM are officially supported, so there is no need to port them

Instructions for all ROMs down below:

Copy the zip to your device
Reboot into recovery
Backup of your system (optional)
Do a factory reset and format [/system]
Flash the Zip

Great work!

I wonder if you would do Slimrom also, it is a mainstream ROM with many innovations that other ROMs have copied.

[edit] Duh I just read your comment about slimkat. That'll learn me to read OPs properly...

xhizors · Mar 31, 2014

wow, this looks good, i think ill try MoKee, just one question, is everything working ?

Just flash rom and some gapps ?

actually, just today; @akshaybz has opened a thread for slimkat (not ported, compiled) here:

[ROM][4.4.2][KOT49H] SlimKat - Amami [Build 4][Alpha][UNOFFICIAL]

Enjoy

Well I didn't test everything, but the ROM was flawless, wifi is OK
Yes just flash rom and some gapps, try it and give a nice feedback

Might be a dumb question, but will updating them through the rom settings mess anything up?

I don't expect updates to appear in the ROM's settings, but if they do,
yes updating that way should mess up a lot, it should make a bootloop.

anyway if you see an update for the ROM you're using, just tell me and I'll port the new release right away

I been building ROMs on linux trying and testing build from source..Im new to it and the device has been a long time HTC user. So guess all are from Z1 with afew changes you posted similar to the stock port way. I built a few roms so apart from the one I'm supporting. Carbon and PAC ROM has shown

Thread Updated

Ported MoKee 2014-03-31 Release
Ported Carbon 2014-04-01 (Build 2)
Also updated kernel in OP and in these two builds to 3.4.0 CM11 gb37510f From FXP313

And how exactly is the quality in CM11, I can't seem to find a definitive answer in either CM thread?

Any updates on the roms btw?

Cheers! :good:

I don't know how to describe its quality, I think the best way to know is by trying

Yeah it's been a week, so here are the Updates of this week:

Updated Carbon ROM to build 4 (2014-04-09)
Updated MoKee ROM to build 2014-04-04 (its kernel was updated to FXP314)

Added XenonHD ROM latest release build 5 [2014-04-02] (download link in second post)

it is very customizable (can't describe it enough)
you can check more info about it in its main thread

about the kernel update, it seems like FXP team have messed up thier kernel a little
so when I tried it on Carbon and XenonHD I got some sort of bootloop,
but it worked fine on MoKee, so MoKee is the only ROM that has FXP314 kernel,
I don't recommended anyone to use it for porting so I didn't upload it

Actually the problem is not much with the latest kernel, but rather with the ROMs:
Recently there was a huge changeset merged in CM tree, among other things it took in kernel a lot of CAF code\blobs from 4.4 Sony sources, and Xperia CM ROM was rebased on this CAF kernel.
It means, that the ROMs based on CM must be rebuild using latest sources, otherwise they'll have a bootloop with the new CAF kernel =)

Huh, Thanks for the info bro,
seems like I should read more very now and then to know this kind of stuff.

unfortunately yes, if you want to flash a custom kernel, you have to have an unlocked bootloader (and that is required to flash custom ROM)
