Hi,
First of all, I know this belongs to the Development forum, but the server won't let me post there until I get first 10 posts somewhere else...
Anyway, I'm trying to compile my own ROM from Google's repository for the first time (2.3.4), so I have a bit of a trouble finding where things belong. There are some really helpful HOWTOs here, but there's one thing I can't figure out and that's the Superuser app. ChainsDD (the author) apparently recently split the GitHub repository into two (one for the actual su and one for the Superuser apk). Could someone explain to me how to get it working? It would really help me to get some proper first kick, so that I could solve next problems myself.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi folks
It's my first question, and you will immediately remark that I'm a noob.
But I searched more then a day, but I can't find the answer here, or anywhere on the web..
Every thread where, Chainfire post his su+bb+CWM5 roms, there are only direct download links. But how I can find the newest one for my firmware?
I never saw a complete list of all his roms, where I can choose the actual one (like on sammobile).
If I take this for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784&highlight=aut i can find on the first page the rom "CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip" which I like to take because I'm from switzerland. But KKA is a bit old. Actually i have installed N7000OXXLA1. So how can I be sure that there isn't a newer CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT from chainfire for me. If I take the link from CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip which is http://download.chainfire.eu/68/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip I have no chance the search for a other, never one like CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_L... . And to search in all threats with over 100 posts just to see if there is a newer as the one I already found is a pain in the ...
So how did you guys do it?
And if I can't find a chainfire rom for my actual firmware, do I have to downgrade first to KKA install the CF rom, apply the zergrush exploid, install mobile odin pro an then install N7000OXXLA1 again? If I do it that way I will not loose CWM recovery no?
Thanks for anyone who can give me a hint.
Kind regards.

Not even one reply ?
Was it such a stupit question?
I have one thread per device model I support ...
Once CF-Root thread for SG Note, one CF-Root thread for SGS2, etc
If the kernel isn't listed in that thread, it doesn't exist *unless* I've made a full ROM download, which I very rarely do, and would have it's own thread.
There's no special list, the thread *is* the list.
its all listed in CF's thread. Check 2nd and 3rd posts, you will find LA1 kernel.
Morning guys
Thanks for your answers.
So I'll have a closer look to those threads. Last time I tried to use the search function (only in the specific thread), but with the pattern searched I didn't get a result. Maybe I did something wrong, but I tried with patterns which are written in the thread for sure, because I found the later on while reading page by page.
Anyway, thanks for your work chainfire!
Kind regards.

hi all, me again.
I was wondering where I could find a ABSOLUTE NOOB FRIENDLY beginner guide to XDA. Where words as Kernel, Rom, Recovery, Root etc are all explained. What it is etc.
It's for a friend who just started joining XDA, but It seems i can't find a proper thread for him And it's strange cause I found a thread once like that when I started but know I don't find a proper one.
Anyone knows where exactly?
I posted in the main Android forum for help, but it's so busy there! I figured I may get some help in a more relevant device community. To avoid reposts, here is the original thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-build-source-failed-make-otapackage-t3831440
Big thanks to Psy_Man, I used his device tree and kernel to build.
If anyone wants to try my build it's here (use opengapps nano, stock seems to crash the setup wizard, probably because it removes webview). Everything seems to work but I have no clue how to fix anything so don't bother sending me logcats

Maybe (very probably) I missed something but in your thread asking for help you say the problem is build doesn't complete, error at 99%, but then you do have a build that I think (from what some guys say in telegram) boots and all. So what do you need the help for exactly?
On the other hand I always found help posting my problems in the complete android rom development source to end thread, the one with like 900 pages and going....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
you should post on development section, if you want to keep updating the ROM, many people will try your ROM and help to test it and maybe will help for the solutions too.

I am a complete Linux noob, I have literally never used a compiler before in my life. Yes my build works and boots (which I am amazed at because it's my first try) but I need help in understanding why one way worked and the other way didn't. Thanks for the tip about the development guide

I would post there, need to get my post count up first :laugh:
I made another test build after setting up my own github account, this time no compile errors at all, and I got an xxx-UNOFFICIAL.zip this time like I'm supposed to! Who knows why it didn't work the first time, but i'm (very) slowly getting the hang of this
Have made a build that works properly now, will make a dev page as soon as i'm allowed. if anyone wants to try it out it's here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SQGaI4U0KeQQKJwq6EyRsa2VQph91oHA
Hey guys i'm new to XDA honestly and i wanna root my accent speed X2
is Magisk any useful
Otherwise Is there any method to root it beside kingroot because it seem to not work
Thanks in advance
Welcome to XDA.
There's not a lot of information to be found for that device, but if it's anything close to stock Android you should be able to use one of the two installation methods, as documented here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
If you run into any kind of trouble along the way, you might be able to find some information here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk
If you need further info on other details, both the XDA search feature and your search engine if choice are great tools, as most things probably have been covered before. Of course, if you can't get things up and running, asking for help on the forums is always an option. Just make sure to ask in the right places so you don't postout of topic. For general Android stuff there are several forums available, as an example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck.
Thank you didgeridoohan for help you know that i'm new and don't know proper places to ask for anything tho imma go post a thread in the right place Thank you very much
No worries. If you have Magisk questions you are of course always welcome to post here in the Magisk forum.
And please do share if you get things running.

I don't really understand what kind of help you want.
If you need help with flash Magisk, you need to provide more information.
What kind of you phone you have.
Is your bootloader unlock and so on.
Look up your device form here on XDA and read thru some threads and hopefully they will lead you in the right direction.
@eslam.essa.2011 Your Github issue was marked as solved, but it won't be available to you until there's been another release (unless you use the artifact built at the commit time, but those might be highly unstable). At the time of your post here there hadn't been any new releases, but now Canary 23016 in out and you can test if your issue is actually solved.
