Question Regarding Android Source

I Have the android source code and i'm doing some mods... My question is: Do I need to add any APNs to the source... or once compiled, can I just flash and it'll auto work with t-mobile, etc... ?
You know, APNs can be configured through the UI.

what exactly are you modding
I know, but I dont want to have the end-user have to type in their APNs... I rather it be built in... So are they built in or must I add them to the source before building?
I'm modding the whole thing... like why make the menu come out of the bottom? why not the side? lol..., etc, etc... adding to BIN and some other stuff...

yea i'll need it.... just me and my java for dummies lmao
so does anyone have the answer to my APN question?
I can't tell you how to build it into the source but if you place apns-conf.xml in /system/etc then it will ues those APNs, you can even just copy one out of a current build and place it there. You may have to resign the update.zip though.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Decompile and compile boot.Img to modify ramdisk

Hello folks.
Does anyone know how to decompile and compile a kernel?
That is the only thing that stops me from developing on my port right know.
What i need to do is to edit some files in ramdisk / init.rc
Thanks in advance.
I used Kernel Kitchen once, and it worked great !

When you say decompile, you can only modify the ramdisk. There are two things inside a boot.img, zImage and ramdisk. zImage is compiled via source, where you modify, insert Governers and Schedulers and a lot more. If that's the route you ought to take, you must have Linux, toolchain, source code etc. Ramdisk on the other hand contains few to many things like init.rc where you insert for example g-recovery etc.
Up to you what you wanna do and your definition of "develop".
I need to modify some things in the init.rc

I need to decompile zImage, which I extracted from my boot.img, as the Kitchen and other popular tools does not hold any info/way to extract that, could you please help me out.
Links to the tools would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The latest release had some problems for me so if someone had already compiled it i wanted to know his impressions before starting...:angel:
Hi guys...I've just built cyanmobile from source...I created on otapackage with the associated command...I'm waiting for someone wiser than me who could stop me worrying about possible bricks...As far as i know, having chosen the right repos, if something would go wrong, it wouldn't just boot...Am i right???...Waiting for your replies...
EDIT: Installed but not booting...Trying to compile again...
Recompiled and not booting again...I have a doubt: if i git clone the device configuration, do i have to extract also proprietary files?(i think not but i'm new on this so there could be differences)...Thanks for your help...

Ok. I just removed it too. My bad adaptation from Evo LTE. Nothing too bad luckily.
Reuploading the fixed version now.

So. You're a kernel dev... Got a question for you. How do I add more CFLAGS to the makefile without it not booting or whatever? I've tried adding -O3 to the 2 places I know to put CFLAGS. Same place I put the -w so it would work with GCC 4.8

So you're allowing the integration of it? Just to be clear.
So I'm not sure why but the kernel borked again. Maybe I need to go through one flag at a time? Or maybe forgot something....?

Hey. Im having nothing but issues building it in the ROM so I was curious if you could tell me what I need to do after copying the msm8960 folder to a new place and adding in the makefile changes? Ive never built a kernel independently before but would like it to be a boot.img like normal so I can just replace the one in the ROM zip with the new one. Im sure it's pretty easy, just figured I'd ask you rather than comb through 80 guides saying different stuff lol.

Could you pm me with more info. Exact process of building, errors during build, any changes made to source, etc.
I'm gonna download your source later, together we should be able to figure this out.

I'm not seeing errors. Hell I removed everything but the -O3 spots and it still refused to boot. I dont know what the deal is....
Anytim I do ANYTHING to the kernel its dead, no matter how stupid it is.

BTW. The makefile is borked. And was curious if you knew how to build AOSP for this device? CM was pretty easy, I'd figure AOSP isn't too different. Then I can try to get Android L running once I have a working Android K to cross-reference to and make the version specific changes in device, kernel, vendor, qcom-common, and s4-common

When certain flags or 03 is added it creates a larger zImage. In order to compensate the boot.img needs needs modified, either by kernel installer or if baked in the rom hex edited. To change the ramdiskaddr.

Absolutely correct. And to elaborate on this just a bit more. Since your source building here, you can actually adjust the ramdiskadd with the scripts, considering it uses mkbootimg commands to build the boot.img.
An additional line in your devices board config, to give it a new ramdiskaddr size. Then an additional line in the build folder factory_ramdisk.mk , to handle the command for a new ramdiskaddr size should do the trick.
As for your other question about building aosp. I'm afraid that would be beyond my area of expertise. You would have significantly modify aosp code to allow for caf. It would be much harder then building cm, cause cm already has all the adjustments needed for caf devices

I read this and my eyes glaze over. But you are in good hands with these two helping you. :highfive:
Yeah I'm working on it guys. Read the integrated kernel building guide and trying that. But if I could just get it to build me the boot.IMG and get my ramdisk sizes and whatever I'm looking at where to edit it in the device/BoardConfig changed the defconfig to a custom one I made based off the original one from the working boot.IMG but changed the I/O scheduler & CPU governed defaults. Gave it a local name (UnityKernel-x.x.x) and am fighting its last issues. So if nothing else help building it independently might be the most useful now. So if nothing else I can push a new boot.img
My bad. It just says the boot partition size so I think I might be almost there

cm Bootable source (request)

Before this is flagged as duplicate thread. Or a simple link to the source code of raymanfx source code. Or even the s6 edge plus port.
If I compile just using source code. It doesn't boot, I've tried all I have that I'm limited at.. some driver error Possibly narrowed it down to it being the defconfig.
Need the missing elf file and a working defconfig. (I am trying to fix some bugs until a more suited release is made..
Thank you
@RaymanFX @Ducter
And anyone else with knowledge
