Hello
first: I want to release this public, but to start I decided to share it with some known guys
I'm into android for a while right now, and tried many things.
A few examples:
theming
build from kitchen
adb
build from source
To do these things, you need to do some steps. If you don't know what they are, or how you should do 'em, then you're in the right place
I teached myself (and my father teached me) some bash scripting.
ATM, I use it for resizing images.
I'll upload a screen tomorrow, together with more detailed specs.
For now, it's an easter egg for you to find out

DOWNLOAD:
HOWTO:
Remember, many features will come later.
You kids have fun.

You're welcome, I had the problem first also
It uses a package called "imagemagick" and a few others, with a nice combination of commands
And don't say thanks only, also thank me

Good work!
Il have to try it asap...!
Updated first post, updated app, updated link.
It's now a direct link, just give it a shot!
And from now on, if people are not grateful (but they don't have to thank me) OR do not give comment on how I could improve it, I will keep this private and for my friends only.
Nice tool!
Will take a look at it and if I have some more ideas to include, I will let you know ; )

You might wanna release this in the General Android Development section where more people will be interested, since here there are quite few who are new to developing on android and there are more full-fledged developers who basically dont use such tools... releasing this in the general development section will encourage more newbies who are fairly new to editing apps n stuff or building an environment... this tool is great, but you need to make it public to get the 'actual' response u want...
Anyway, all the best for this tool, sadly now i dont have my pc, jus an old crappy netbook which is jus nuff fo browsing... shall try this in march after my final exams...

Thank you also, and you Arjen also.
I will release it there, and also in Android Chef Central. There will more people be intersted, I know.
But for now, I think you people would be nicer to me iwth suggesting idea's, just becuase some of you may know me
Anyways, after someone made a suggestion and I was able to include it and include cpfr, I will release it there
OK, done. included some more things.
I think I will be trying to PORT APK MULTI-TOOL to Linux
Should not be too hard. I'll include it in my script when it's done and submit it to the DEV to publish it.
But I want you to make a request, just to keep myself busy!
Is there ANYTHING that takes you too long, seems too hard for you, or something you want to automate?
If not, I'll continue with building from source.
Please comment within 3 days

Maybe, automate the setting up of build environment for various versions of android...
So it would be like just start ur tool, go into the menu, select the build environment for the version your gonna build and it all does it by itself...
Downloading/installing packages etc..
I havent tested your tool so dunno if u have already included it in your tool...
Also, you might wanna create a directory of different types of custom roms and their github source codes link... like for example, cyanogenmod, omfgb, omgb, oxygen, aokp, codename android and so on...
So i open your tool, select the source i wanna download and it will do it...
Just my 2 cents...

Wait, this tool isnt just for O1...!
Its should me made for every phone out there... so maybe you should add the official sources and not ported sources... cuz if you start including port sources, it will be too much hassle trying to keep the source links updated, sometimes they change, too many ports for every available android device etc...
Also, u will b flooded with requests to add this source, add that source..
Do it like:
CyanogenMod- full official source from CM, github.com/cyanogenmod
Oxygen- full official source by oxygen team, (i dont remember the links)
AOSP
AOKP
CodeNameAndroid
OMGB
OMFGB
Etc etc
Add the official repo's n not ports...
It will help in keeping the sources more update as the official teams work more on their sources than individual porters do on their own sources...

There is an awesome (non-root might i add) app for those who don't like your info being shared with anybody called PDroid that can be found here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056
Among its huge feature arsenal is the ability to block app's from seeing your IMED, SIM details, sms/mms, etc. It consumes no battery life at all and is very customizable. the only downside is that you must make a patch for each device and each ROM. i took the liberty of making said patch for the Ba2tF CM7 ROM and have posted the CWM-flashable zips for your enjoyment. all you have to do is boot into CWM and flash. if for some reason you don't want your phone to be awesome you can flash the "restore" zip and the original files will be back.
I am not responsible for literally a single thing you do with these files. have fun.
If you found this helpful or just enjoyable to read the thanks button is somewhere down to the right.. but whatever you do, don't hold down shift while you press it!
UPDATE: PDroid is not yet compatible with ICS/CM9 but the dev is actively working on supporting this, so sit tight and i will update the OP when he does so.
Since it works on Ba2tf, would it also work on weekly/nightly builds?
It is very rom specific, i wouldnt use my zip for Ba2tF with that rom.

It does work just fine on Neutrino ROM which is based on the weekly builds.
I have created patches for Dorians Redpill, Ba2tf, Neutrino GT/GT+ will also be creating one for EE shortly. I will post the patches for the API for PDroid shortly.
BTW this privacy app is awesome! You just need Linux to create a API patch for your phone.
EDIT: I had to create a new post to add the attachments..... kept failing every time I tried to add here. See post below.
Below are the API patches required to run PDroid for the specific ROMs. RESTORE patch included to remove the patch if it doesn't work. lol Don't hold me responsible if they don't work or if something funky happens..... but it worked for every ROM I have tested it on.
Keep in mind you don't need to be rooted to run the app, but you need to be rooted to run the patch.
EDIT: Also remember if your ROM ever gets updated odds are you will have to create a new patch for the newest version.
I got a PM from the dev today who had some good news.. Previously the patch maker was only available for Linux..
The good news is that you now can make a patch for your ROM yourself. Check out the PDroid patcher for Windows in the PDroid thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19570091. Or download it directly: http://goo.gl/oztqS.

Thanks for the info.
Setting up to try my hand at rom devel soon; once cm9 is a bit more stable ill build from git. Have compiled source for "true" linux but not android.
Since I'm making it security centric, this could be a nice addition. Will be researching further.

I have been using LBE Privacy Guard, which revokes these permissions and more on an app-by-app basis. It's not ROM specific but a little time-consuming setting up rules for each app.

If you look on his original post (the developer's), you will see that there is a bug in the windows autopatcher. So yes...I do need Linux.

I can't thank you enough for the patch n1ckr0th. I've been using droidwall and an app called permissions to stop other apps from sending my data out. Now it's up to me who sees my real data. I understand that a lot of companies make their livings on advertisements and the like, but why do they have to know about and acquire my personal data for me to play a game or run a process that allows me to work more effectively. It's issues like this that make me want to learn how to code for android and write some great apps that won't steal everything on your device that it can see. Hmm, actually that's a good idea. Thanks again.

Hi There we have found complete sources of our phone Micromax A110 MTK 6577
We were hoping if any one Awsum Dev could compile an omni rom for our Beloved Phone here is the link to the sources http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ACPRk#dir/path=%2F8377%E8%BD%AF%E4%BB%B6%E5%8C%85
If u want u can contact our devs u can contact @[email protected] and @khan_frd2002 and also our kernel dev @varun.chitre15
And for compiling there is this guide http://wenku.baidu.com/link?url=GlZC...3XdjfuZXcip5zm
I hope i will receive Positive results and replies
Thnx

Link will be provided as soon as possible :angel:
I'm a contributor there. I'm just curious as to what parts they change. seeing as mtk devices are dirt cheap here, I might consider getting some to work on if their sources aren't desperately bad
edit:
compilation doesn't take long. getting to the stage of getting a working compilation may take a while though
ps can the file labelled "alps patch" be uploaded first please. thanks
Thnx
@cybojenix Thnx for ur interest in our Phone one developer @[email protected] is already working on cm 10.2
And Varun Chitre is also a great dev u can ask anyone and all of them will help u
About the mirror i dont think it is possible cuz most of the people(Dev) Live in india or other places where the Internet connection is slow u can use an extension for firefox i will link it to you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/

U can PM Me Thnx
I will ask devs to mirror it
yes buddy mirroring is needed....the downloading speed is so less that my downld has failed more than 4 tiimes..
Alps Patch file
Here is the link to patch file @cybojenix http://d-h.st/BAg
Leeching that to take a look.
Since none of us have a 6577 device, someone else will have to do the bringup work, but it would be interesting to see how much commonality there is between 6577 and 6589.
Unfortunately the problem is MTK's sources are a disorganized mess, and in many cases, their HALs are just wrappers around a blob. The source we have for R819 is for 4.2 - while xplodwild got 4.3 partially booting on R819, so far, the display drivers just crash on boot on 4.4.

Good day lads,
Disclaimer:
Code:
I don't know if you noticed a thread in the Q&A section that was closed by Matt. While I respect Matt's decision to close it, I find it a very relevant topic... The future of LineageOS for the P9 Lite. Please note that I do respect meticulous' wishes to charge for his work because I know how time consuming it is I wish to firmly express that I do not condone this mentality when it comes to Linux based operating systems.
I decided to make this thread with my little Dev knowledge in order to attract more devs who's willing to put in work on a stable device tree for free in spirit of community and for all to enjoy.
I do not have the Lineage source code at the moment but I will start downloading soon, I do know that I will need help and I encourage more devs/beginners to lend a hand for the benefit of us all.
Please, to begin, post links to relevant tarballs/links/downloads for development purposes, device tree and kernels, anything you've worked on so perhaps we can all work together.
Cheers

Hmmm... The fact that building android ROMs is time consuming is not a good enough reason to request money for OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Yes, LineageOS and android in general are open source, so that's an infraction.
About the collective effort, that's a good idea, but there are no sources from Huawei right now. You need to wait for the Nougat sources if Huawei really gives a dime about releasing them. From that point, it is easier to develop and get stuff working. Until then, good luck working without sources and experimenting stuff. Not to mention that there's no official TWRP as well, and TWRPs posted here on XDA for our devices have specific requirements to get them flashed on your device.

Why do you need to come here with negativity? I don't support meticulous but he can do what he wants with the device sources he took the time to build, heck, he doesn't need to release those sources so I don't know what you're talking about, firstly. Secondly, a device tree can be built, Q.E.D we as a community can work on it together, if they release it we'll just have it much easier.
Note also; I've asked for relevant input and help from the community.
Thanks for your time though.

This disussions are undesired here. I know a board where you can discuss that. If you want, feel free to have a look at it. This little Board is very pleased about every enlivenment. Opened a thread over there.
Well, developers do not grow on trees. I guess there are not enough devs here who have the P9 Lite device.
However I like the intention of the thread author. For that reason please try to discuss in a human way.
In the end: I am vers interested in learning how to build custom roms but I can't find a way how to learn it. Does anyone have some good advice?
Updated kernel
Hello everyone, I've recently been working on updating the Honor 5c kernel to 3.10.105 and so far it seems to be working fine on my P9lite, LineageOS 14.1. It's based purely on stock, with one or two commits borrowed from Meticulus' kernel repo, so it compiles without errors.
Since this is a new account, I can't link my repo directly, you can find it on my github profile, Avsky.
I'll be making my own additions to master branch, while stocklike branch will contain only fixes and kernel updates.
If somebody would like to test them, you can get the boot image from releases tab on github. Stock kernel hasn't been tested, mind you, always keep a backup!
Also depending on how much time I have, I might get started on bringing OmniROM to our device (I'm really missing it). I'm just a college student though, so it might never see the light of day, any help is much appreciated.

Since this is a new account, I can't link my repo directly, you can find it on my github profile, Avsky.
I'll be making my own additions to master branch, while stocklike branch will contain only fixes and kernel updates.
If somebody would like to test them, you can get the boot image from releases tab on github. Stock kernel hasn't been tested, mind you, always keep a backup!
Also depending on how much time I have, I might get started on bringing OmniROM to our device (I'm really missing it). I'm just a college student though, so it might never see the light of day, any help is much appreciated.

Hello, I tried your kernel on AOSPA MM but I couldn't get the proper unpacked zImage. I got only 9.7 MB gzip which contains the 22 MB Image but I couldn't extract it.
Could you provide the zImage?

Strange, I can extract it without problem using abootimg. Anyway, zImage now included on releases page.

That zImage looks like the same I got from unpack. For some reason it won't boot when I repack it with my ramdisk.

I repacked and uploaded my image with ramdisk from your latest AOSPA, could you try it? Sizes varied a bit, I've used my abootimg config with SELinux changed to permissive, as that is the case in your image.
EDIT: I'm uploading extracted zImage as well.

Yeah of course it works :silly:. Looks like my boot-packing skills are pretty low. Good job :fingers-crossed:

Glad to hear it! Your images seem to be using uncompressed zImages, while in stock ROMs they're gzipped, seems like unintentional change somewhere in your build process.

Yeah you're right. I just checked it and I am copying Image instead of Image.gz. Seems like it's only a 'cosmetic' issue because it runs anyways.
Great news guys, my sources now compile with latest Linaro toolchain. The kernel actually barely needed any fixes, but I'm not releasing anything prebuilt yet, since I have no idea what impact on stability my hacks might have.

Well, developers do not grow on trees. I guess there are not enough devs here who have the P9 Lite device.
However I like the intention of the thread author. For that reason please try to discuss in a human way.
In the end: I am vers interested in learning how to build custom roms but I can't find a way how to learn it. Does anyone have some good advice?

Perhaps reading through GitHub commits, checking the code and see whether or not you're really interested. If you're using a Linux distribution which I strongly advise, learn bash scripts first - it's easy and self explanatory and from there you will get basics of directories and calling up files.
Goodluck

Holy ****, finally. I cant try it out for my self cause i need to leave to malta tomorrow but i can try it later
MIUI Rom, finally!!!!
I hope they fix the bug as soon as possible
Again, the ROM is NOT bootable, I need logcats from you to fix the problem, hopefully.
So don't expect this to boot.
Thanks for understanding!
Try to take a look here Logcats
I hope to have helped

That's all I've found and that can be useful for both this Rom and others that you will develop.
Thank you, but I know how to dump logcats. I asked you if you could provide me some logcats of the rom not booting from your device and send me.
Thank you.

And if you would copy libGLES_mali.so to /system/lib64/egl?
Would it work?
Thank you for your logcats. I will see what I can do.
How does it go with progress?
Should boot if you use custom kernel and copy&replace blobs
I am giving up on trying to fix that error message. I am trying to build AOSP 6 and then try again patchtom, hopefully I won't get that error.
I know how to get miui booted, making aosp is not enough, there is changes you need to play with them like .rej files and boot.img too experienced on my old s2 plus i9105p. as I got stuck at animation boot.

MIUI ports were one of the most time-consuming ports. I'm not sure how does it look like today but I'm pretty sure it's identical to how it used to be. First you had to modify the ramdisk and then patch all java resourced and with a bit of luck you get bootable rom.
I'm really sick of seeing all those roms all based on 1 device tree which is not even fully functionall yet. People keep making "new" roms but all are actually the same, all have same list of non-working features. Just compiling different android distro with same device tree over and over.
XDA used to be place for original work and for people who put effort in their projects. Now kids keep spamming dev threads with copy&paste roms or useles threads.

Yeah. We have like 2 developers(one is a team) On this device. Haky and OpenKirin. And 6 "different" ROMs that all work the same, with the exception off the nougat FOMs, which have even more bugs.

I know man, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking in general. I know you're doing god work, despite I'm not developing anything since a long time I still read forum and follow what's happening.
Like @Vinnipinni said, 2 guys and 6 "different" roms. But all working the same.
Back in times people were more likely waiting for stable CM/AOSP before compiling bunch of other distros. Now it's just mess.
I really wish I could go back to developing for android devices, especially now when I have programming knowledge and experience.
Discontinued.
Awaiting for thread deletion.
Thanks...Nice work after your miui 5 ROM
Help please..
Need someone who can risk his device by testing this ROM......
Happy holi.....

I agree this message is a bit long but it is worth reading.
- Thanks, but sorry. Even if I give you the links and even if spend your precious time you would only be able to fix the error 7.
- Actually I've already fixed that(or know what's the issue atleast). There are files that are missing from the directories that are listed in the updater script. They cannot be deleted as the original base ROM I compiled was from UA(unlegacy android) that are based on the newer sources.
- Some files that are required for MIUI are also missing.
- Boot.img is incomplete. Which will result in bootloop even if I upload the error 7 fixed ROM.
- I am giving my board exams that are one of the biggest exams in India. And I cannot afford to score less in these.
- All I need is a older base ROM ,CyanogenMod 11 made around may of 2016. And also it must support init.d because the port ROM requires that.
- I've taken permissions from the maker of the port ROM. He has allowed me to proceed.
- All I need is permission from Android-Andi, as only he has older CM ROMs.
- I cannot compile because older sources are not available or maybe I am not known to them
Hope you understand. Thank you.
P.S. - Android-Andi if you read this please reply. You are the only one who can help me(by providing me permissions to use your ROM as a base).
With best regards,

Have you seen this CM 11? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/rom-cm-11-0-galaxy-tab-2-t3737392
Just made last month by @Deltadroid
Links are removed because *the ROM is not complete yet*.
Thanks, but I need to confirm a few things before I could use a ROM(includes init.d support and a bunch of other things). Also, it is very important that deltadroid provide me permission to use his ROM.
Thank you!
Regards,
KG
-----_edit_--------
I just saw deltadroid's thread, the title clearly says that the ROM is for p3110. I want to make a unified one. I need a ROM made with unified device tree.
If I do port, it will only work on p3110 and maybe on every 7" device. I don't want do this.
Sorry, but yeah thanks!
Just wait till 3 april 2018. Most probably I will upload.
Edit 2
Or I must say it an update. 75 percent of the work is done. Somehow I managed to get a base ROM(only I know how). Only build.prop editing and Updater script editing work left(these are the most difficult BTW).
Update coming soon. Stay tuned.
I've updated the links. I've uploaded the new ROM. I've done with porting(i guess). I've used a lot of time.
Flash and review!

No wonder the ROM doesn't work.... Security patch is in a wrong format.
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2080-17-March"
It should be, "ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-01"
or,
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-05"
And this, hardly doubt this will work, but idk.
"ro.build.date.utc=999999999999"
Mistakes....................
EDIT**** Build id should be the app id: example lets say the id is 678, on build.prop, it would say 678.
you have, "ro.build.id=KUNAL"

You, sir, definitely have a lot to offer. I am afraid that this is not the actual problem. By now, I surely understand the importance of logs. Would be very helpful if someone could arrange me them.
And about your post it seemed really rude, raw, insulting and manipulating to me. But however, helpful. It makes it really hard to continue developing for a 6 years old Tab, with hardware that has nothing to offer in 2018. At least, I am trying.
Since, this was an Alpha build(because I moved sources) these problems are sure to arise. I did the same(build.prop things) with my kinda successful ROM MIUI 5(see it in the 7" forums).
I guess you haven't tasted port ROMs yet. They are hard to build. Alike your compiling ones, you have source, type some commands, turn your computer on for about 5 hours, when done upload it.
I am sure you must have did trail and error (in chemistry and math) porting ROMs is just the same. I am sure, that as a developer, you must know what logs actually mean.
But whatever, thank you for you review(insult I guess).

Sorry, I won't give permissions after different people used my ROMs as base in the past without permissions. Hope there is a learning affect....
Since i love OpenSource: Sources are available on every official GitHub (slim, Omni, Lineage, UA) and up to date (note: I wouldn't have to do this, I could keep all device trees private but I am updating them for everyone - always). You'll have to compile your own base ROM to use for such port ROMs (I am not a fan of).
