This is the simplest aswell the fastest way to port android roms to your device.
Note: This is For Same Resolution Mobiles and You can use this Method to port roms From armv6 to armv7 devices but I dont know about the method used to port roms from armv7 to armv6 devices.
What you will NEED!
1. Base Rom (The rom for your phone. CUSTOM ROM not the STOCK ROM)
2. Port Rom (The rom you want to port to your device)
Lets get Porting:
1. Take any clean CM9, AOSP, CM7, CM10, CM11 ROM which is running on your device as Base ROM.
2. Also download the the rom that you want to PORT.

7. In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values.
Quote:
ro.config.ringtone=

For HTC Devices:

Quote:
Decompile framework-res.apk
Go to \framework-res\res\values\bools.xml and change change <bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">true</bool> to false
2. To Fix Graphichal issues:
Quote:
Decompile framework.jar
Change these files with your base

SystemProperties
smali\smali\android\view

IF YOU ARE HAVING BOOTLOOP THEN COPY THESE LIB FILES TO BASE ROM FROM PORT ROM:
Quote:
libandroid_runtime.so
libandroid_servers.so
libmedia_jni.so
IF YOUR BASE ROM HAS ISSUES LIKE CAMERA ISSUE THAN YOUR PORTED ROM TOO WILL HAVE ISSUES.
Thats it your rom is now ported. After you get the .zip file you can boot into recovery and flash it. (If your ported rom does not have google apps then you will manually need to install the gapps.zip package)
*I personally recommend recoveries like Clockworkmod or TWRP or Philz. Any other would do but custom recovery and phone root is necessary!
You can also use ROM PORTER to port your roms with one or two clicks! here is the tut for that too:
1. You must have installed Notepad++
Then follow these instructions:
Quote:
1.Download the attached zip archieve
2.Extract it
3.Run Port.bat
4.Follow the instructions
