Building a new kernel need some info - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys i am building a new kernel for you Note users based on the official source that samsung Dropped..i have the source and tools the problem is can someone point me on how to include the recovery as i do not own the device and would like to share some love on this device..else i will just build it without the recovery..
your replies will be much appreciated as this will be step forward for you to have a new kernel..this will be a blind build since i do not own the device i DID own it but never fiddled with it since the device was prone to bricking..

I hope you are aware of the brick bug.

yes i am aware of that and it seems the newer ones are now safe from brick bug..but still its never late just to be cautious..

just finished building 1 kernel image..hope i did it right..
note: Always do a backup before borking your device..
test zimage
also i need a clean ramdisk for STOCK TW roms..as i am just using the Revived Hydracore kernel ramdisk..it might not boot as i what i am seeing it..but nonetheless just try if it boots up..

Sorry, but that's kind of a joke: you want to build a kernel for the Note, but you do not have one. And you do not know how to include recovery. And you want to be cautious.
You really expect that a member with a Note would risk his device testing this?
Maybe you should start to build a kernel for a device you own yourself.

i used the remaining Hydracore remnants for ramdisk and in my inspection i did found a recovery included..nevertheless it seems to be safe as i am reading his deve post before i dived in..
i own an S3 and i built my own kernel for it..based on the Update 7 sources the same goes for my S3 mini(i do not own the device but since sources are available then why not build 1)..also i am not obliging everyone to help..if it boots up then good for you as i can upload the source and for your devs to start spinning things..much more or less its a good start..
you can always ODIN in the stock boot image..if things come worse..also do not blame me since this was the problem with samsung to begin with..
edit1: ok so for those who are interested to help me you can PM me as i want to try the lower exynos platform..this is just weird as the kernel format is in zimage instead of a normal boot.img file..this is just for those who are brave and knows the way around stuff with N7000..

If things come worse you'll make a new "Angelom Kernel". No risk for you - because you can't brick your device.
But in the end each tester has to decide if he wants to test your "blind build".

Unless Vibranturk knows how to compile kernels, he is of no use right now. Sorry, I would take a go at it, I just don't have any Linux installed right now and don't wanna DL the source to build the kernel. You have to build a modified kernel for the Phone to boot, you can try flashing Glitch after you the flash the ROM and reboot.

If all goes well then you could see a kernel soon. I just need to see what the dude from the I9000 Forums did to make it boot

[Q] [Kernel] Building my own kernel

Hey guys i just started to develop for android. I already have a linux (Ubuntu) machine and the kernel source from samsung. I know how to build the kernel too. But now my question is: Can i test the kernel without flashing it to my device? I dont want to damage anything

k, Thanks
ppl, correct me if im wrong, but I think its easiest if you flash only the system partition.
but again, i wouldnt do it unless im sure that the bootloader is expected to work with that ROM. best is to recompile the ROM you're using yourself and see if the Kernel name changes under About Phone

I want to test my own KERNEL not a custom ROM. If you flash a corrupted kernel you can hardbrick your device with ease. Imagine you develop ur own kernel, flashed it and youre device just turned into useless piece of electronic. Terrible.

Please include your kernel in this thread to make it clearer
You have to use this updater-script for flash cm7. If you don't use this one, the phone will get bricked. http://pastebin.com/htJ8NYTs
For use this updater-script you have to put in the first root of the zip two files: bmlunlock and busybox.
Remember to add the boot.img of hells fusion kernel at second post!
P.S. OP I think that you have to give credits to biel!
Soft Brick. Tried with hell lock flashable zip, softbrick with flashlight with 2 seconds. Now tried with the kernel you provided, stuck on the SGAi bootlogo. Any solution? You said it worked on someone else's device... How did he install? From stock or another rom?
EDIT: Now will try with the updater script you said, @Lopicl.00 . What attachment are you talking about?

Well, I don't know which is the point of this thread. You are building my sources. You are making my ROM. Why create another thread? You don't have the device, me neither, but I started that project from 0. Why instead of making your CM7 you don't help us? Why don't you make a pull request? Do we need to talk with testers, which are the same for the both of us, to just test the same ROM!? If we want to have something big, we should focus on one CM and not building various CM7. I don't know which is the point of this, and I don't know what were you thinking. In your github there is 0 changes on my device tree. I committed all my changes during the last month and you used my work to build your own, and then it seems that your ROM is better than mine, because I don't release mid-done ROM's. I want to give the best expierence to all the users.
Also, I committed all the changes to help people understand on what I'm working. Many users asked me if I was really working on it, as I did not commit anything to github, but I was. And what happens if I commit? other users use my work to build their ROM's? I think that's not the way to go.
And what about a simple credit to the real author of this ROM? as your signature says: Send me device tree and I'll build the ROM. Why? To be more famous using other people's work? I don't get the point of anything here...
Oh, btw, where are the permissions to do that?
Thanks, Biel.

Ok I am also starting the device tree from scratch. Is that alright?
I will suspend the current build and post a new one tomorrow which will based on my device trees.
About credits? I didnt even complete writing this thread..
About changes thing? I have made changes at my end which are not committed becuz I dont wanna put untested changes on github.
Sorry If I offended someone but I had no real intentions of doing that..
and btw.. I mean somehting else from my sign.. I want to help other device owners to get new roms to their device. Though it contradicts to this build.

Can I take cm10.1's 07/07 kernel and flash it via CWM?

I heard that cm10.1's 07/07 kernel has no whitescreens. I am using a newer version of cm10.1 . Can I flash 07/07 kernel on its own via CWM? If yes, how can I make it flashable? Thanks in advance.

I mean, there should be a stable ROM with everything working. Maybe not the latest release but it would be stable. I know all ROMs are stable for your phone since you don't have WS or mount problem, but there's no rom for my phone that won't malfunction.

Holy **** dude, your attitude. Everybody in this forum loves you cuz you're the only developer this ****ty phone has but you keep acting like a douche, throwing a tandrum to whoever dares to mention WS or sd card mount problem or even something that has been stated before. We are noobs, we're trying to learn, this place's like a school to us. XDA ain't your own business, we're members of XDA as well. Did I even ask you to do something for me? Did I even post to your github or anything like this? No, cuz I know that douchebags like you better leave 'em alone.

Sorry, but you have clearly misunderstood the whole point of XDA. Most of the developers here (including me) do this as a hobby. I make this ROM for myself and then I share with anyone else. I am not going to do something, in this case fix bugs I have never experienced nor can reproduce, just because something is not working on your device. Douches are people who constantly spam and whine about things. Use GB and be happy.

Ok kiddo
You know, you should really take a chill pill....TheWisp is trying to do something for free here..i don't think you really understand the "free" part...myself, i couldn't spare the time to learn to develop for Android, much less fix bugs and try to create a stable rom without up-to-date blobs ( which by the way is really harder than simply porting cm to a certain device which already has jb or a variation of it)...if you really want something 100% stable go for stock (tough good luck with random crashes)..if you want something 97% stable go for cm10 or cm10.1 (i find 30/06/2013 cm10.1 to be one of the smoothest and stable of all the cm10.1 builds), and if you want something 95% stable go for cm11(the one i have right now)...you should really stop complaining, and instead of being part of the problem, start learning to develop and be a part of the solution (if developing is for you). Peace!

Lollipop for the Optimus 2x

Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!

Could you please share your sources.
TheMysteryouse said:
Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.
Im ready for

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.
