8- How to port a ROM for the Liquid

Hey guys,I decided to write this little and simple guide for you to help you experimenting the "simplest" part of the work of a developer,the porting. Porting consists of making a ROM designed for another device (e.g Nexus One,Desire,ecc.) run on Liquid. It's not so easy but if you follow this steps you'll be ready for a first boot:

1- Unzip the ROM you want to port
2- Unzip a Liquid ROM, I suggest MIUI
3- In the other ROM you have to replace/add these files (take them from MIUI):

boot.img in the root folder
in system/bin ---> the 3 "yamaha" files
in system/etc ---> the entire "wifi" folder,
in system/etc/firmware ---> the yamato.xxx files 
in system/etc ---> vold.conf and/or vold.fstab
in system/lib ---> libaudio.so,libms3c.so,libsensor_yamaha.so
in system/lib/egl ---> all the adreno files and the egl.cfg file
in system/lib/hw ---> all the files
in system/usr ---> "keychars" and "keylayout" folders 

in the build.prop file placed in /system you have to replace these lines:


from ro.product.board=x to ro.product.board=salsa

from ro.board.platform=x to ro.board.platform=qsd8k

and add the ro.hw_version=1

This should be fine for a first boot
