Emwno's Cuisine, All You Can BuildThis is a Terminal Cuisine for Linux users. If you have used dsixda's Android Kitchen, you will have an idea of how this works. This includes a bunch of scripts written by me just this morning to build an Android Kernel and a ROM such as CM10 from source through an automated process. Also to Flash boot.img to Device as well as Compile and Decompile system files. Yes more features can be added upon request. Wondering why this is called a Cuisine? Thats because like kitchens, im not going to limit this to one specific category. But keep on adding more and more for even easier Android Development
These scripts were written to help new developers or users compile their own Kernels and ROMs from source, Decompile and Compile Apks or Frameworks. Explanations are given for your understanding. More features will be added as well as more automated processes in the future to ease building even further. Please read the thread to get a hold of the directory listings to avoid confusion. More features can be added upon request. Leave you feedback here. This script is file is intended for personal and/or educational use only. It shall not be duplicated for monetary benefits or any other purpose without the permission of the developer

[Kernel Compiler]
Information about processes
Automatically grabbing Toolchain
Grabbing Kernel Source from script itself

I think all of you din not correctly undrstand situation with added new devices to CyanogenMod.
They can not support devices. Newly added devices is maintained by usual user who do a porting and regular commit to CM sources tree and not by CM team. So if CM add a GT540 to "official" devices list, they sould not support the device in future. Support should be by community of LG GT540 users.
Sorry for my Runglish.

Yeah cyanogen said himself that any rom is official as long as it comes of their git tree.

Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App
Here you go guys: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7108-lg-optimus-gt540/page__view__findpost__p__162313
if you will find the developer for gt540 then CM Team will help to him a little bit - what means: advices and separate board on the CM forum.
Mur4ik could you upload your source code to thread on CM forum and start cooperate with guys from CM team??.I understand that you spend many hours to hard (&excellent)work about your rom, but these guys could help you. Anyway this is only my request. I also know that learning programming is very hard but I promise that I will begin to learn to create, not just download and install haha and maybe someday you'll help
Best regards
The rom he making is official because it branches of their git tree.
Mark
Ah so i understand now...Cyanogen will only offer advice to Mur4it.
Anyone know if Mur4it has agreed to be a maintainer for our phone on cyanogenmod and submit his code to the gerrit review.
I like many others thought if cyanogenmod added our device they would take alot of the weight off Mur4it's great shoulders but seems not to be the case so the petition is not as important as we all thought because cyanogenmod support only means the gt540 would be added to the list.
Guyz, let's post the feature request in CM7 bug tracker and let us all star it. Would get noticed sooner.
Btw, why shouldn't we create a petition to LG as well? To add official 2.2 or 2.3 support.
Update 2: You won't get a stable build from here, just treat this as a massive development thread now. Feel free to continue your great work.
Update: I have successfully built CyanogenMod 10 for you guys. I don't know if it'll boot or not, so please provide the logcat (adb logcat) and dmesg (adb shell dmesg)
You can download UNTESTED, EXPERIMENTAL builds here:

Original post: Feel free to discuss your thoughts on developing this for this device here, I don't have this device but I did say to BigBearEvo that I'll help him if I can. I will compile this ROM from source code.
I need help with this as I don't own the device (as I just said) but will make at least one build for it. I can't even promise this'll boot.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP MORE THEN PLEASE GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE - TOUCHSCREEN TYPE, ETC IS HELPFUL. TELLING ME ITS A CERTAIN COLOUR ISNT!

The non booting kernels may have some library damage,which is associated with the screen
Second reason : in init.rc the bootclasspath must be changed it might be the link to an sense framework

Okay, I'm going to compile this and go to Judo because I can.
When I get back you might/might not see a build uploaded. If you don't then don't blame me.
but if you do then please do the following:
0) Set up ADB on your computer and backup stuff
1) Download it
2) Clear data as normal
3) Install it via Clockworkmod recovery (if possible)
4) Run the following...
adb dmesg > dmesg.txt
adb logcat > logcat.txt
at the same time to log everything your phone does.
Once this is done, please use logcat.miui.us, pastie.org or pastebin.com to report all the logs so I can read them later.
If it boots, screen cap it along with everything that's working. Please also include the recovery version you used too.

ADB not working in bootscreen, last_kmsg is useless because to enable ADB I have to enter in recovery so the file is overwritten. With device-specific package the recovery's graphic changes according to Ubuntu, and flashing a CM kernel boots the Android part (I can see CM bootanimation, but OS obviously doesn't load). Maybe the problem is in the kernel's ramdisk, I have to add something to init.rc or change BOOTCLASSPATH to boot Ubuntu?
Any updates?

I don't think the project will be succesful.As you know we even can't get a proper AOSP ROM and Cyanogens are unofficial and we should hope another OS ?
But of course I'm not hate just saying; maybe my knowledge would be false, thanks for work.

This project is just for test, the OS is based on CM kernel, so it should be boot if all is done correctly, I think that the error is in the kernel's ramdisk

Are there any realistic chances that there will ever be a Ubuntu Touch OS for this phone? I mean i certainly do not ask for a ETA. But i would love to have a Ubuntu Touch on my phone. If this is not possible then Ohhhkehhh no problem. So will there any further progress on this or not?
Finally something moves! I recompiled again with other changes, now after installing device-specific zip file and preinstalled image I get a bootloop with a black screen for 5 seconds, so kernel tries to boot OS but unfortunately I can't use ADB shell because is not working...
If any dev can/wants to help me is welcome! Two brains are better than one...

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'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

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.

From what I've looked at so far in the uploaded patch file, it doesn't seem to be too good. I was expecting to see diff patches.. from what is included in it, it seems to be partial, and out of the camera, there are only headers.
Waiting for the full source to be uploadec

mtk你还是放弃吧，很多都没有开源的，mtk提供整套方案给生产商，连生产商都没有源代码的。

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a thread to introduce both users and kernel developers to the concept of linux-stable as well as give developers some tips and a tree to either merge into their own, use as a base, or just as a reference. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!
What is it?
linux-stable is, as the name implies, the stable branch of the Linux kernel, the base of Android. The phone could not run without the Linux kernel (at least not without reworking a lot of stuff). The Android kernels are based on the longterm stable trees:
Longterm
There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.

Source: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
All Linux development happens on the master branch, which is governed by Linus Torvalds. When issues are discovered there, the fixes are applied then backported to these various stable trees for consumption. It is not uncommon for a fix to need to go back a few years.
There is a LOT more information available in the notes repo in the android-linux-stable organization if you care to learn more in-depth: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/notes
What does this mean for me?
If you are a developer, this means you should be merging these changes into your own tree. These are vetted, stable fixes to real world problems and they are being handed out for free. It does not take long to get up to date (as you can just merge this tree directly into your own or do it yourself using the tree as a reference) and once you are up to date, there is usually a release once every two weeks, give or take. I provide a rebuttal to a lot of various complaints here. If you still feel like there is a good reason not to do this, please let me know, I'll be happy to try and debate on it!
If you are a user, it means that you should be looking for and using kernels that have these fixes, as it shows the developers care for your security and stability. The current version for this device is 3.18.100 and the current version upstream is 3.18.124 so all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone and look at the kernel version to know if you are up to date.
How do I use?
If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the android-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/marlin
This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).
If you are a user, use a kernel that has the changes added in!
Getting notified about updates
There are a few ways to get notified of linux-stable updates:
The linux-kernel-announce mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel-announce
The android-linux-stable Telegram channel: https://t.me/alsupdates

Getting help
If you have any issues with getting these changes into your tree or want to ask a question, there are a few different ways to do it:
Post in this thread
Join the linux-stable support chat on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/C1UAJ1EMSX31PCFdwLnOSg
File an issue either in the android-linux-stable notes repo or the android-linux-stable repo for this device
When requesting help, please give some solid details as to what you are struggling with, as I am happy to provide assistant and clarity but not to do something for you (unless I screwed up).
3.18.88 has been merged in.
3.18.89 has been merged in.
3.18.90 has been merged in.
3.18.91 has been merged in (conflict notes).
Hi Nathan, thanks for the code - built the kernel and flashed (wasn't easy at first). All working well, will use it at a later stage when I build the ROM. BTW, I am running the factory image. Credit also to Anykernel for the zip file

Not a Dev, but totally would like to give this a try if you have a zip. On the factory image + twrp 3.2.1

Hi, No problem. There you go... Just flash in TWRP and feedback if all went ok
3.18.92 has been merged in.
Hi, thanks for the code, compiled it against linaro 6.4 (built the cross-compiler following your thread). Tested for one day. All smooth. Sharing the job for those who might be interested. BTW, flashed it directly from fastboot....
Code:
fastboot flash kernel Image.lz4-dtb
Hi, added WireGuard support.
@ nathanchance, sorry, do not mean to hijack your thread...

Running this now, so far so good! Thanks!
Definitely interested in wire guard, but currently use WindScribe and am not sure how to properly configure it.
Will try and Frankenstein a config file together tonight and report back [emoji106]
Thanks again

Hi, question. Added DSPManager to my ROM and see that it always gets killed. Can you support the idea to build the kernel with
Code:
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=n
. Will this get me the kernel permissive and any disadvantages with this? I also see that Viper4android needs a permissive kernel.
3.18.93 has been merged in.
Somebody willing to do a build of the update to flash with fastboot?
I would if I could (still learning how to build myself)
Thnx in advance.
Cheers

Was very helpful and am building right now
Credits to those guys offcourse.

If it's ok, here is my personal first ever self built kernel from source. It's 3.18.93 and flashable in fastboot (unzip the zip and then: fastboot flash kernel Image.lz4-dtb)
Offcourse thnx to @nathanchance for the source and all the work!
Cheers

Thanks for doing this, very much appreciate it! For some reason though, this prevented my phone from booting. Ended up restoring my boot partition and things are well now!
