CyanogenMod Device Tree? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hello,
has anyone started developing CyanogenMod for the i9305 LTE?
I am getting that Device as I am getting that Device and if I dont like Samsung Stock Rom I want to get rid of that.
Because the Galaxy S3 i9300 Version of CyanogenMod does not work on our Phones... I dont think it is much work to get it running.

yes i have started cm10.1 dev, but i dont have my sources up on git yet,,well i dont know how to put them up on git lol

Really? When github Account and you create a Repository... you get a cheatsheet on how to push to git!
I have also some exp. on creating Device Trees for Android Devices, but I am working on a diffrent Device Projekt for now.

thanks for the input !

I have been waiting for CM on i9305 for long
really love to see it

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...

well i know its a tough job for you but as i remember before starting development for our device you told that one of your friend will donate his ace 'i' to you:-
This is from your blog---->"SO, as you probably now, we released beta 4 of CM10.1, you can download at XDA, wayland threads, but another important new is that I'm moving to another device for a couple of days, many people ask me to and one of my friends will donate me one, the galaxy ace 'i' and I don't know if that is some kind of chance but broadcomm has released the HW drivers for this device, so they can finally get CM7 working, and I will compile it so stay tuned for more info "
So cant you ask your friend to lend his to you.........
First he have to buy a device and then Ive to tell him and then he decide to borow me or not... So probably by donations will be faster and also for.me free time here

But to be frank i really really dont think enough donations will be met to buy this device.....you would really have to lend form someone or the other.....

Wont work mate, i have tried many 4.2.2 roms, it will not wok, the set_perms are different and you'll get an error installing, if you use stock cm10 perms you get bootloop, when you carry the libs over it will stay at HTC splash screen, you need to wait for it to be built from source, sorry /:

You are absolutely right!! You cannot port roms of different android versions................Only Method is to compile from source.....
okay, the port dont work, therefore need to compile from source, but I'm new to android developing under ... So I still have a lot to learn, such as how port device from source, soo for this part someone will do in my place anyway :/ I'll have to experiment to port cm10.1 on Golfu and perhaps lead to something

[Q] Wich files to edit when porting from TITAN to THEA

Hello XDA,
As all of you may know there is a 4G LTE version of the Moto G 2nd Generation, better known under the model number XT1072 and XT1079. Unfortunately almost all ROMs are created for the titan. While the titan ROMs boot just fine because of the almost exact HW, when installing those ROMS we don't get 4G and the speakers and earpeace, especially while calling, get unusable.
So instead of sitting on my butt and asking LUK to develop a 4G patch, can anyone guide me ? I know how to setup the SDK and know the theory about compiling from source but have never done it. Do we have to recompile something or can I just replace certain files with some other files from the (one and only) CM12.1 port for the THEA ?
This must be doable I think.

It's easy but I'm not going to help in dirty ports. Build roms from source instead, this is my recommendation.
If you want to learn how to build roms from source I can help you but you'll need to have Linux machine to do that.

Thanks for the reply Luk, I also think that building from source is the same. I have followed many, many guides but somehow the part where I have to point to the thea specific HW blobs fails. The extract-files.sh points to ./../../$VENDOR/msm8226-common/setup-makefiles.sh [email protected] wich I understand is the motorola folder in the WORKING_DIRECTORY. Somehow I can't find the right repo on github to point it at.
Sorry for the noobish Q... There is a first time for everything.
EDIT: I wanted to say that I think that porting from source is better, not the same.

Oh okay, I will look into that in a minute.
Now I got an issue that really got my head hurting... When I do the lunch command, my Moto G isn't in the list of devices... What Am I doing wrong ?
I have got a directory called thea in WORKING_DIRECTORY/device/moto/thea
I have got also an old thea directory (cm12.1) in WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea and WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea2
All the blobs from TheMuppits repo are in de device/moto/thea dir
All the poperiatary blobs are also in the XT907 dir...
I've done the
Code:
cd /device/moto/thea
init android-5.1.1_rx
repo sync
and let it finish without errors.
Once I get over this I will be good to go.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the knowledge !

I'm trying to build an AOSP build like yours to learn. I'm following this guide:

I guess it is similar in steps as what you described ?
Even with all the files in the correct directories when I exec the lunch command it doesn't list the moto G. See screenshot.

[DEV][G925F] CyanogenMod 12.1 Development

Hello there, it's time to get this rolling somewhere.
This is a Development-Thread. Please don't post if you aren't a developer.
What this IS
This is a Development thread, a platform for developers to discuss the development of CyanogenMod for the G925F. It's made so that we can get this working, fix up the problems - because there will be severe ones - and achieve a working official Rom at some point.
At the moment it's @OldDroid and me with help, but it would be awesome if interested devs would join in so that we can make this a team effort.
In short, it's a Dev-Thread in a dev section.
Right now it doesn't work and I'm not sure that it will work.
What this IS NOT
This is NOT a working Rom. Not even close. I can only link you to the kernel repo and soon to device and vendor, as they are almost completed for a first try.
And yes, there is no download link for the Rom. Because there isn't anything you could download yet.
This is also NOT intended as a Q&A thread. Please don't ask if your variant will be supported, I will respond by trolling. Firstand only priority is to get this running, then we'll talk about variants.
And ETA is an evil word with no meaning here. I work slowly, deal with it
Where are we currently?
Much further than a day ago
Thanks to @OldDroid, we've teamed up
All the links you want (minus the download link :angel

It's apparently not without some minor casualties, but we got it. Huge thanks to @RaymanFX, he's helping me, since I'm not that much into CM building yet and I'm also basing this project on his CM for the N910C, which's 5433 is darn similar to our 7420, so we got a pretty good base to begin with.

I think that there was a mistake in the partition sizes.. /system was declared as 4.1GB, but it's only 3.6GB. Recompiling with a new value, should be able to flash it then
Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.
But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.
Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.
If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.
We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer

The lack of drivers makes this a fun exercise almost Where's be the challenge if everything was easy...?

Good luck develop without documentation for exynos chipset.
But can you tell us more in details how porting works and what are the challenges with it.
Is it hard to develop a rom without samsung binary files and drivers? I know they are proprietary and closed soruce.
If just Samsung could be more developer friendly like Sony.
We can request source for closed binaries here, http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiryView, most likely they wont answer

I can't say what the challenges here will be, since I couldn't manage to even flash it yet - Second build is compiling since hours now. For now it's using all the proprietrary stuff we managed to grab and some additional stuff from the 5433 CM. But without booting it's hard to tell what won't work and might present a challenge ^^ From what I saw it'll be tough to just get the modem running. The hard part is to write the drivers yourself

It's interesting that you can use drivers from 5433, which is a 32bit platform. Most drivers are not compatible when you switch from 32bit to 64bit if I am right?

As a base to know how to do it, obviously we can't just use drivers for a different chipset
Updated the /system size in the BoardConfig and at least it flashes. But it doesn't want to boot for some reason yet.

If you have the 5.1.1 boot loader and are using 5.0.2 as a base. Sboot will not boot it. As a fyi. It checks Linux versions.

Both is 5.1.1 and Sboot seems to clear the boot as well, everything seems to go fine, it just doesn't boot. :/ Trying with building the kernel during the build itself instead of using a prebuilt one and see how that goes

I would personally flash an Engineering boot loader while doing this, to ensure version checking is not the issue.
