Hi i would like any information on how i would go about making an aosp kernel for a sense based phone.
the lack of support for this device has got me mad!! :crying:
im good with the linux side of things just need to know what is required to make an aosp kernel from sense source code??,
now obviously the sources are available for our phone but as i understand it its for a sense kernel only
so im going to start on an aosp rom for my phone, any advice or guidance would be appreciated
also would htc primo (v) be a good phome to port an aosp rom from

Well, i tried to port and some of the hardware works, not all.
This AOSP term to the kernel is pretty much an exageration... Mainly because PrimoU (v) runs a fully working CM9 on the sense kernel with no modifications (almost, i mean no porting or something like that).
This being said, the actually job you need to do is to find the right ramdisk configuration for it.
There are people working on this but with no experience or very little experience. Both me and anders are working on this, but i have my finals now and i will not work that hard for it, and compiling CM9 and testing it is pretty much a time-consuming job.
Well, you can start by making the enviroment ready and download the CM9 sources, hang around the irc channel and download the device tree from my github account.
hey lex just found your git while searching cms repo lol, made me smile seeing that, shame you havnt got the time right now, ill read up some more for now and see what i can do, thanks for the quick reply i appreciate your advice pal!
also would fastboot boot img be a good idea for testing
and how did you go about with the testing, eg used an aosp rom with the kernel tests or just used a logcat?
good luck with your finals btw!!
edit why has koush forked your git is he interested?

He forked my git in order to get official CWM Recovery to our device, right now it does not compile for some reason, don't know why as on the same sources mine compiles... But that will be fixed some time in the future...
--
Other than that, flashing from fastboot the boot.img does not seem to me a great ideea as i like to minimise as much as possible the use of fastboot, so, i always use flashable zips for kernels, you can download one of my kernel releases and use the zip as a template, just change the files needed in it and flash at your own pleasure.
--
As for AOSP Rom and kernel, the thing is pretty much simple, at first i tried porting ROM's and things seemed to work to some degree, but not fully functional, so i figured out that the easiest way to do this is the hard way, compiling from source, putting up a device tree and so on, in this way we can keep up with any AOSP-based ROM released or that will be realeased, but as this device didn't recieved too much atention, the device tree needs to be made almost from scratch, well, i used as a template the PrimoU device tree, and made some changes to it to fit our device, but CM9 does not really like the actual tree as all that works is...booting fine, rotation, touch-screen...and that's it, also, the interface is buggy, so not usable at all, but i didn't work on it for some time now, will resume work after the finals.
--
I am also working on a project on porting 3.4.0 kernel for Dell Streak 5, this project will also benefit the future development of the custom kernel for our device, so things are still rolling around here, but at a slower pace as i'm rather new in this field.

There is 3. Desire HD , one v also called primou and incredible s also called vivo. They all uses same screen resolution , same CPU and GPU so that is the closes you get.

Well, i got it fully built and booted with my current device repo, and anders reported he managed to get it compile only by using cyanogenmod's 7x30 common repo, i can't remember what common i used, but since he reported that, then most probably i used that too.
The kernel that will result in the flashable zip is unusable because of the ramdisk, i have a good ramdisk that get it booted so i need to update the repo when i have time with the right ramdisk so the resulting flashable .zip will work, probably.
Also, i did some changes in the flashable .zip to get some things working, so everything is pretty much WIP and i need to get past the finals to resume my work on this, so be patient and try to join IRC channels where other developers are hanging, so you can ask more experienced developers.
I'm pretty much a newbie in this field, as i didn't compile from source a fully working ROM so far.
I got working Recoveries on 2 devices for now, fully working ones so, this is pretty much what i can do, incorporate things in kernels and port recoveries from scratch.

I thought of that too. But since the DInc is a 'QSD' (1000Mhz Qualcomm Snapdragon) and the Desire HD and the Desire S are 'MSM' (Mobile Station) We can't use their ports to help us :/
Being that the DInc is a qsd8k (8650 to be exact) we'll need to keep an eye out for ports with the same processor.. Oh man I wish the old Desire could get a port of this, lol. We'd have no problem at all..

Also a working ramdisk still doesn't mean the kernel is good. The kernel may need some changes.

I'd like to try tonight if I can. I'm hoping that an HWA enabled AOSP ICS kernel works with it.
I'm uploading now. Been busy all day.
I think the only way that an HWA enabled AOSP ICS kernel will work is if we figure out which parts of the ramdisk we'll need to add to it.
I have the Ramdisk extracted and uploaded on the OP if you need it.

I'm actually stabbing in the dark as much as you. Never messed much with roms. I'm more of a troubleshooter rather than a rom/kernel chef. I find tweaks and adapt for my kernels. But I noticed there's no init.inc.rc in that ramdisk. Other than that my mind's dead so I'll have to look tomorrow/this weekend.
I apologize for the delay in posting the port link. You'll have to forgive my internet. But, I assure you that the download is as fast as I can get it with my own server that I use.
EDIT: Port is on the next page --->
Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page - This port is NOT a working port.
It will flash to the DInc and it will install properly but it does not boot. And it is obvious why, lol, because we are still missing the piece to the puzzle to make a working kernel.
I hope that this will give you what you need to get this project I started the thrust in the right direction.
As for my method thus far, I am using the zImage from and AOSP ICS port with Ramdisk parts from the One_V.

Ok guys, thanks to munjeni we've got a working ICS CM9 ROM but there are a few bugs so I will look over other devices sources and come with some ideas.

Here are our sources and here are the sources from a similar device. If you look closer you will see that this file is similar to this file, same thing applies for the other files but there is one file that is different, this one.
I'll come with an edit as soon as I find the problem.
Audio bug
Like mujeni said: " I dont know which android audio library source code to use with this rom?" but I think that these files should do the job https://github.com/cm2pico/ics_htc_pico/tree/master/libaudio or we can take the libs from HTC desire V.
WIFI
I will come with an edit as soon as I find anything
CM9 ramdisk

These are just possibilities, for the moment.
Anyone with some C++ knowledge could help, here you should find more helpful things.

So guys,I am documenting the changes required for golf for cm10 from source
1)Kang our cm10 pico device config,change pico to golfu or golf
2)Set up your vendor tree as exactly how I have done in my github,but with binaries pulled from your device
3)Add support for NFC(golf has a pn544 NFC chip,pico has squat)
4)Change vold configuration and lunfile(u guys use a ChipIdea USB controller ,we use a standard msm72k controller)
5)Change Bluetooth configuration(golf uses Texas Instruments chip,we use Broadcom one
5)Change user space firmware for atheros 6000 WiFi driver,we have a broad com one.Getting WiFi to work might be tricky,atheros is known for not documenting sources .

So guys,I am documenting the changes required for golf for cm10 from source
1)Kang our cm10 pico device config,change pico to golfu or golf
2)Set up your vendor tree as exactly how I have done in my github,but with binaries pulled from your device
3)Add support for NFC(golf has a pn544 NFC chip,pico has squat)
4)Change vold configuration and lunfile(u guys use a ChipIdea USB controller ,we use a standard msm72k controller)
5)Change Bluetooth configuration(golf uses Texas Instruments chip,we use Broadcom one
5)Change user space firmware for atheros 6000 WiFi driver,we have a broad com one.Getting WiFi to work might be tricky,atheros is known for not documenting sources .

How do you pull the binaries from our device? There is no extract-files.sh? How to change bluetooth, vold, lunfile, user space firmware, wifi? Could you please give exact steps? Sorry to bother you, it's just your steps aren't very detailed, at least for me.
Hi, as you know lexmazter and anders are working on the cm9 project, iv offered my help with the project, as i see it this device has poor support, so im giving in and lending a hand anybody who is willing to help, preferably with some dev skills is welcome, im personally quite new to this so please have some patience, this might take more time than we all hope!
Update:
ive been struggling with the boot.img thats compiled with the build
device is booting to cyanogen bootloader screen, finally made a working device tree from htc saga.
will be logcatting for a while : )
update 2:
phone finally boots to ui!
more fixing todo yet
issue with cache dalvik cache is causing a lot of the problems
will be fixed tonight
Reserved
Please be patient with me, as iv got a family and work at night so my time is a little limited as is lex and anders
Finally got a full build of cm 9, had to set
Board_uses_qcom_audio_resetall :=false in boardconfig common.mk in msm7x30 just to get it to compile
Ive added for now a stub
Board uses generic audio = true
so no audio in this build yet
Any advice?
We could do with tester, wouldnt trust the kernel so id advise fastboot run the zimage maybe?

Sweet Jesus! Someone help this man, I had almost given up hope for this device. Props to you brother for giving it a go.
Trust me im trying to im gonna release an huge update on the AIO tool in the weekend. To night i am going to work on cm9 again i will be on the irc chat then
Ok sounds good, it looks like well have to rewrite some files to get it working, do you have an idea why it fails on line 576 msm resetall? ill be on runny-dev tonight, some people had sucsess changing gcc and g++ to older vers, so i tried gcc4.4, didnt help, others also had sucsess with different msm-7x30-common files.

The thing is that we could use the already built htc-acoustic.so lib, everything that we use prebuilt will go into the vendor tree.
That being said, considering that we build CM9 over already ICS for our device, we just need to find the right libs we need and the wrong ones to be compiled or kanged from primou.
Other than that, wait to get past my exams and i'll be back in business
audio
so do we declare that in runnymede-vendor-blobs.mk,? i was under the impression that the libaudioalsa.so would be slighty different to cm, would it work, so pull it to out/target ?
edit
just found this in vendor blobs
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/htc/runnymede/proprietary/lib/libaudioalsa.sobj/lib/libaudioalsa.so
# Audio Blobs
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/htc/runnymede/proprietary/lib/libaudioalsa.so:/system/lib/libaudioalsa.so \
first off i cant find reference to libaudioalsa.so vendor-blobs.mk in any other cm based tree
second i cant understand why it would be called twice to different locations?

First of all, the vendor blobs are files already built and i just edited the runnymede-vendor-blobs.mk to suit our device, that file could also be compiled, and, you can try to comment the first file and see what happens.
As far as i know the 2 are there because, the first is copied ad compilation and the second is copied in the respective folder for the flashable zip.
Also, i'm on irc, you can find me there for more details.
im compiling now with some changes see if it gets past the error
ok fixed the audio error, still need a working ramdsik, wheres lexmazter lol??
Just sharing some usefull links here :
Cyanogenmod porting intro
Envsetup help
Dealing with build errors
Building basic
integrated kernel building
Now the status is that we can compile a cm9 without compiler stopping, but no boot or anything. So i am just sharing some usefull infos to read and to understand what is happining when compiling
CM9 boot.img and modules + RomManager.apk file
^^ONLY TO USE IN CM9 ROMS NOTHING ELSE^^
oh and the boot.img should work, it boots my cm9 port just fine with wifi and so on and it also reads the camera driver , just stops at audio but that is rom related.
Come on, lets get this thing up and going
---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------
also, i think to make it more easy for us all, we need to put vendor , device tree and common files to github so we can compare if something works for one of us
First you will need to edit .repo inside the vendor folder and device tree folder and common folder, or else it is trying to push it to where you have pulled it from then after that use the link
pushing to github

Just remeber to name the repo correct : like this for device tree:

Hey there I cant Post in dev section so i will do it here. I installed your cm9 port anders. Runs pretty good. Found 2 more bugs you did not mention in op post. Flashlight app force closes and GPS does not work at all. Keep up the good work and sry if this is in the wrong thread.

Here is my port thus far:
X Disclaimor - Rom does not boot meaning this is not working yet X
I think since sense 4 was obtainable I'd like to think Sense 3.6 is too.
Now, i'd like to ask for a little help if anyone is available.
Plus, I know developers because I am one; we have an insatiable palette for a good project.
I've discovered two things that have made me feel like i'm stuck:
4/12/2013
1) I am not sure what else I can remove from the system dir to decrease the size to what is needed ~ 272524902.4 bytes (259.9Mb)
The Roms system dir is ~274083573.9bytes (261.4Mb); I basically need to know what else I can get rid of that equal up to 1558671.5 bytes (1.5Mb)
Here's the catch- I already took out the weather from media and apps and have symlinked them from the data partition.
2) I am not sure if I have correctly made the kernel.
I have a boot.img from the sense 3.6 rom i used to port. And I added the bootclasspath from the base kernel.
I also have renamed the proper files that needed to be renamed with inc.
Update: 4/13/2013
I've shrunk the system/usr dir down and now the port is under the size limit.
I have also tinkered with the boot.img more. Can someone check it to make sure that I have done is okay..
`Link in my sig:
First thing check how we did it before using symlinks to make some of the files physically on data but linked to system.

So far I've symlinked system/media/weather to data/system.weather and the system/app dir to data/system.app.
This is what i'm using:
symlink("/data/system.app", "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/data/system.app");
symlink("/data/system.weather", "/system/media/weather");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/data/system.weather");
Do you think i could do the same with the system/vendor dir?
Edit: Don't need to worry now that the current port's system partition,which is now uploading, will be under the size limit.

We need to see how PureMotive got it booting on Sense 4. My brain's rusty on that project as it died a while ago and I am not sure how he got it to boot. I also need dedication to work on Sense after the superiority of AOSP on an aging device let alone ICS Sense. I don't know if I will have time to dedicate now that I'm working more on the Galaxy Nexus and a CM 10.1 ROM.

Yeah. Exactly. My brain is rusty too. I probably should try to find that Rom we worked on and see what the kernel looks like.
But don't worry about that, I think ppl like seeing devs even conversing together lol.

This is just a thought but couldent you for now pull the puremotive boot.img until you can build a patched kernel that you can push to the zip

How about the latest evervolv ICS release. That's what pure pulled from I believe.
@zachf714:
I will look also. If I find any, i'll upload them to the working folder i created for the project.
And if you guys find any, link me here and i'll download and do the same thing.
@tiny4579:
On the Luxe Rom we worked.. I don't have any of the files anymore. Do you happen to have a rom.zip of the project?
@project Community:
I've uploaded the Rom I used to port with to the dev host - droid in working folder.
I'm about to upload the other Rom I used.
Both the base and port rom I used to make the WIP are uploaded now.

Not until I just forked it and yeah you did
Damn. Wish I wasn't in bed already.
I'd compile pures git and see if his kernel does anything with the WIP.
My kid gets on the bus at 7:50a (est) and will Dev a bit before I get going for the day.
But if someone tries before then let us know the outcome.
I'm transferring over two versions of the WIP now.
One with the boot.img from pure's git injected into it.
And another that is redesigned to look like how pure had it. Also, I merged my bin, lib and xbin.
Also using the boot.img from pure.
Testing in a minute or so and i'll report back with the outcome.
(Off topic ~ Today's my 4 year anniversary being at xda )
Edit: Yeah, they both didn't work. I'm uploading v0_3 now so you guys can take a look at what I did.

Right now, imo, I'm thinking it's a lib problem from my recent logcat.
I'll hop on in a few minutes and take another logcat and upload it.
