compiling error kernel

hi guys....i've downloaded the last kernel sources of franciscofranco 2.35.10 kernel....i've added the sippolo's workaround and then increase the HZ value of the kernel(set at 500) for my custom rom.....after i've done
Code:
make thunderg-perf_defconfig
make zImage -j4
it stuck at this error
Code:

i don't understand why......i think it is a lib problem.....but seems that all libraries are imported!!!can anyone help me??? thnx in advice

Which toolchain?

.35 kernel have new GPIO library, you should code sippolo's workaround into new driver, do not replace whole file.

nothing franco....i've only added sippolo's workaround for base to port acer liquid multitouch fix and set kernel to 500hz i've worked only on mcs6000_ts......but it stuck at this error i don't know why!!! i think it is a library problem....something that is missing...but i don't know what are the libraries that i must install if it is this the problem!(

You downloaded the latest sources? Because I haven't compiled it, I just merged the patches, I might have forgot to apply something. In this case it says it misses the swapper_space reference.
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/mm/swap_state.c#L40
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/mm.h#L771
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/swap.h#L319
Add the swapper_space code to those files and compile again.

yes franco i've downloaded latest sources! thanks now i'm going to add it and then try!

franco the swapper_space code that you posted is already there in the three files((

I dunno, I have to leave now, I'll look at it later.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there ain't a problem with the kernel, I just compiled it without any modification, just like it is in the sources and it compiles fine. Try to make clean and make distclean, then compile again.

[GUIDE][LINUX][MIUI] MIUI PatchROM -- BUILD YOUR OWN MIUI ROM

take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483332
as of me, am on a awfully slow network to start with and my stupid brother 4matted both of my systems. this nd did away with by linux build environment. not possible for me to download everything to start over. even downloading virtual box will take me two days let alone downloading the maverick

I have a question, are we going to see an official MIUI ROM or do we have to wait someone to port it?

I know, it is a veeery noobish question, but how do i get a zipball? I dont get the first step already I already set up Ubuntu, but now I guess, I need your help, then I'll try to build it
-edit-
Do I only need to push download and then download as zip?

Could anyone help me out with the makefile? cause when I follow the steps and after typing: make zipfile
It start doing some stuff, but then aborts and gives out this

visit the link from linux (even if it's a VM) and push d/l. its a github repo.
setting up sdk on linux has loads of videos in youtube. then follow the instructions.

Yeah, as you can see from the post below, I already made one more step, and also brought it to start, because i just didnt extract the java sdk correctly... but as I read the java error, I thought I might look in there. But can you help me with the makefile? Is it all correct?

OK, I guess I made any fault while decompiling the .jar files. Can anyone provide the decompiled files, that are needed? See in link in the first post. And check if my makefile is correct pls

I have similar [error 1], but i use custom rom based on 20a (deodex)...
Decompiling and compiling *.jar is not detects errors and runs fine ... I don't have idea to fix it ... read many forums but the solutions have not found...
Code:
Cannot run program "aapt"
likely a problem in this

Check out the APKTool folder. Maybe there is no aapt file in it. If so, just download apktool again and extract it there.

For aapt error
If i read that guide carefuly ,
you need to make path and add the tool folder in your path.

[DEV][HOW-TO] Enable CRT-OFF and CRT-ON in S3 Stock ROMs

Use everything here on your own risk and hit THANKS BUTTON if you like my work!
General Information:
As you propably know, till now there is no CRT-off MOD out for the S3. This is because only changing the value of config_animateScreenLights from true to false in framework-res.apk is not working anymore!
Together with Tungstwenty and rovo89 we faced out, that the problem are some missing commands in the /system/framework/services.jar
After comparing files from S2 and S3 Tungstwenty could help me to find the right position to edit files and with a litte bit of testing we found the right commands to enable the CRT-off-effect!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tungstwenty said:
Let me clarify what is required in order to have the CRT effects working:
A patched library that properly (i.e. no flicker, etc.) provides the effects --> see attached flashable zip's or use Tweakbox
Code changes on the ROM in order to properly trigger the effect(s), which the library will then respond to those triggers --> look at the how-to or use Tweakbox
Item no. 1 is the one that I worked on and for which a fully working library was now provided.
The 2nd part can be done in 2 different ways - either patching the S3's ROM to properly enable the CRT-On and/or CRT-Off effects, OR do some hooking on the existing methods in the ROM and without changing that code, override the flags (i.e., the way Tweakbox does it).
It's this 2nd aspect that you guys need to address somehow. I worked with rovo89 on Tweakbox and not only does it bundle with the library, it also does the code changes in memory to make it work (topic no. 2).
But sphinx02 had already provided that, initially, after some discussion on what needed to be patched on the S3 ROM.
So, in order to have it working you have 2 ways:
Either use Tweakbox and make use of its configuration options to enable only CRT-Off, only CRT-On, or whatever you fancy.
Ask for someone (such as sphinx02) that has an S3, to keep up with existing ROMs (it will need to be changed separately for every one), and provide patched apk's on top of the existing ones so that it enables the effect triggers I mentioned. This will also need to take into account whether you prefer both effects on, only CRT-Off, etc.
I hope this is a bit more clear now, if not just let me know.

HOW-TO make the Code Changes:
This is what have to be done:
First of all decompile classes of services.jar (I won't provide any information to this, there are many tutorials out there how to use the smali tools!)
Than in com/android/server/PowerManagerService.smali we have to make the method nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V callable from inner classes. To do that, we have to add the following after the last access$XXXX method:
Code:
.method static synthetic access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V
.registers 2
.parameter "x0"
.parameter "x1"
.prologue
.line 110
invoke-direct {p0, p1}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)V
return-void
.end method
Than we have to add some commands to the file com/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState.smali to trigger the CRT-off-effect. For that add the red part between :cond_38 and iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/a.... like this (its around line 400 in code):
Code:
.line 2679
.restart local v3 #turningOff:Z
:cond_38
[COLOR="Red"] iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;
const/16 v3, 0x11 # CRT-On and CRT-Off
#calls: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->nativeStartSurfaceFlingerAnimation(I)
invoke-static {v4, v3}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$9000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;I)V[/COLOR]
iget-object v4, p0, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;->this$0:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;
#getter for: Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->mScreenBrightness:Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;
invoke-static {v4}, Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;->access$6000(Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService;)Lcom/android/server/PowerManagerService$BrightnessState;
move-result-object v4
If you want to have only CRT-OFF, you can replace
Code:
const/16 v3, 0x11 # CRT-On and CRT-Off
with this:
Code:
const/16 v3, 0x10 # CRT-Off only
Finally recompile the file, put it on your phone and you can see the CRT-Off effect on your S3!

Tungstwenty said:
Hi,
I worked on the porting of the patch to S3 and despite not having one myself, I'm pretty confident that the binary rovo89 and myself included in the latest Tweakbox should work on an S3.
Could any of you guys try it out?
What to do:
Install the newest Xposed framework from here. Open the Installer app, press Install/Update and reboot.
Install the Tweakbox mod from here. Open it and enable the CRT effects in the appropriate section. You can also enable any other tweaks you like, to check if they also work for the S3 (most of them should)
Go back to the Xposed Installer app, activate the Tweakbox mod (2nd tab), then in the libraries section select "libsurfaceflinger.so" and use the I9300 version. Tick the "Replace in test-mode only" option and back in the 1st tab do a soft / test reboot.
If everything goes well and the effects work as expected, you can go back to the installer app and untick "test-mode only" so the lib is overridden on every boot.
Note that except for the app_process system file which is installed by the framework (creating a backup file, and which should have no practical effects until any mods are enabled later), all other replacements such as the surfaceflinger lib do not change anything in /system but are rather performed by loading the files from an alternate path.
I'd appreciate your feed back especially for the CRT effect, but also the other existing Tweakbox options.
Thanks!

Or use in addition to the changes in services.jar the attached flashable zip's to overwrite libsurfaceflinger.so with the corrected one by Tungstwenty or me, XXAL for (XXALE8,XXALF2,XXALF6) and XXBL for (XXBLFB,XXBLG1,...)

Notes:
- This is a development thread so please discuss only things that interest for further development
- First part of the development has been discussed in this Thread of S2-forums
- As on the S2 after the CRT-off-effect sometimes the screen flickers --> fixed by Tungstwenty
- For some reason, it works without setting config_animateScreenLights from true to false in framework-res.apk
- I hope Tungstwenty and rovo89 can help us again to edit the libsurfaceflinger.so to avoid that it flickers after the CRT-off-effect

The flicker issue and the lack of CRT-On effect are *exactly* the same issues that are present on the S2 lib as well.
It has been fixed there, but changing ARM code without the sources is a very tedious process and that requires a fair amount of testing till it eventually works.
Without having access to an S3 it's very hard to do this or even explain what needs to be done
On top of that, I have other pending stuff I need to work on so you shouldn't expect a fix very soon, sorry.

Ok, I see the problematic.. But perhaps you can give me the original and the modified files from the s2 so I can compare the 2 files and perhaps see by myself what is changed! And as I never changed anything in .so files perhaps you can tell me additionally how you have edited them!
I'm willing to try around again and to play with bytecode or so on, but I think I need a little input from you!
You mentioned the tool objdump, so I think I have to become familiar with this tool, am I right?

Ok then, I'll give you the starting pointers so you can have a look at what lies ahead
The S2 patched file with ON and OFF both working correctly, with no flickers, is in this post.
The S2 original file is attached here.
Do a binary compare to see the changed bytes and their offsets.
To have a look at the code, you need to have the NDK installed.
Run "objdump -x libsurfaceflinger.so" to see the decompiled ARM code.
And have fun trying to understand that

Is it not possible to build an own, additional library file with the crt-off functions? Sources for that are out there! Just copy together and build an .so file. Than in the Java-Code we are including this new native code and simply calling the function from this new / additional lib-file? What do you think about that?

Looks like someone needs to do this again...

I don't think that's a viable option. rovo already tried that with existing sources, I think, and the resulting library did not work on sammy's rom.
As for creating a separate library with only those functions, I also don't think that's possible as everything related with screen rendering (state, buffers, etc.) is on this lib and therefore a separate one would not have any of that info.

Hi,
I worked on the porting of the patch to S3 and despite not having one myself, I'm pretty confident that the binary rovo89 and myself included in the latest Tweakbox should work on an S3.
Could any of you guys try it out?
What to do:
Install the newest Xposed framework from here. Open the Installer app, press Install/Update and reboot.
Install the Tweakbox mod from here. Open it and enable the CRT effects in the appropriate section. You can also enable any other tweaks you like, to check if they also work for the S3 (most of them should)
Go back to the Xposed Installer app, activate the Tweakbox mod (2nd tab), then in the libraries section select "libsurfaceflinger.so" and use the I9300 version. Tick the "Replace in test-mode only" option and back in the 1st tab do a soft / test reboot.
If everything goes well and the effects work as expected, you can go back to the installer app and untick "test-mode only" so the lib is overridden on every boot.
Note that except for the app_process system file which is installed by the framework (creating a backup file, and which should have no practical effects until any mods are enabled later), all other replacements such as the surfaceflinger lib do not change anything in /system but are rather performed by loading the files from an alternate path.
I'd appreciate your feed back especially for the CRT effect, but also the other existing Tweakbox options.
Thanks!

Now I try, thank you..
And CRT on is possible?

Yes. If everything is working as I expect, the new things vs your current situation are:
- No more flickering issues when CRT-Off
- Now also includes CRT-On
- Can detect device orientation and do a "vertical" CRT effect instead of horizontal
All these are optional and can be turned on/off in the Tweakbox preferences.

I tried.
CRT OFF has the same problem, CRT On is not visible, but I had to place also a jar file?
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------
I must add that I'm on checkromevo hd and I've already inserted a mod to see crt off, I don't know if this can help.
Other mods in tweakbox work.

Mmm, did you follow the steps I mentioned before, i.e. enabling the lib replacement in test mode and doing a soft reboot?
You should end up with a library on /vendor/lib (ramfs) and it should get loaded on startup instead of the one in /system/lib. Can you check with a file browser if the file under /vendor/lib does exist?
Also, could you open a terminal, run "set" and check if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is "/vendor/lib:/system/lib", as in S2?

I've rebooted totally, what do you mean for soft reboot?

Can you open the Xposed Installer app and post a screenshot of each of the 3 tabs? "Framework", "Modules" and "Libraries" (in this last one, scroll to the bottom to display the "libsurfaceflinger.so" entry so it's visible in the picture)

Can you send me the modded libsurfaceflinger.so so I can test it directly?
Maybe a downloadlink via pm...

I have sphinx mod for CRT, so If I deselect CRT off on tweakbox, it is shown the same.

Would you mind just taking it from the Tweakbox package, and in the process also checking if the on-the-fly replacement is working for you?

Your lib settings are ok, so if you do a soft reboot (pressing the button on the app), it should come back with a libsurfaceflinger.so file in /vendor/lib. It's won't happen, though, if you do a "normal" reboot.
It isn't happening to you? Could it be that the soft reboot tries to load the new lib, fails, and immediately does a hard/normal reboot - did you notice anything that could point to this?

Error installing framework

I've been banging my head against the wall on this one. With 4.2.2 I could install the framework, decompile, change, recompile an apk without issue.
With 4.4, I am getting this error when I try and install the framework:

Am I just being stupid? Has anyone been able to install the 4.4 framework?
Thanks.
Environment:
Win7
official framework-res.apk from stock att motox 4.4
apktool.jar v 1.5.2

Well, I got it to work.
FWIW I used apktool_2.0.0b7.jar in linux. Worked without issue.
(It didn't work in windows.)

Just to say that I had the same issue. I took the framework-res.apk from another custom rom and it works on Windows 7 64 bits.
Bad installation with CM11 based rom (Beanstalk)
Good installation with an AOSP based rom (Pure Speed X)

I have apktool 2 beta however I wasn't able to install the framework-res.apk from CM11 based ROMs.
No problem with AOSP 4.4 based ROMs though...
BTW the apktool 2 beta creates other folders during the decompilation like "Original".

i'm curious, how'd you recompile? i just got my dev edition today and my first goal was to pull framework-res and remove the wifi tether entitlement check. decompile and making the edit was easy, but on recompile i got the following error:
invalid resource directory name: /xxx/framework-res/res/values-mcc310-mnc-1

if i remove the last dash (i.e. change to values-mcc310-mnc1), it works...but i still get a warning on recompile:

i pushed the new framework to the phone and so far, it seems to work...but does anyone have any idea what's up with the errors? is it something that will cause any issues? is there a way to resolve it and get a clean decompile/recompile? i've tried using both beta7 and beta8 (which came from the apktool thread, i guess it's not publicly available yet?)

To recompile I actually use the old apktool.jar.
Apktool beta 2 enables me to only decompile CM11 stuff.

with the old apktool i get even more errors, and they're not as concise. i guess i should also reiterate this is completely stock, the only things i've done to the phone so far is update to 4.4, unlock bootloader, install twrp and root. other than that, the phone is completely stock.
can you (or anyone, really) tell me if changing that directory name and/or the translation warning i get are going to cause issues? if so (even if not), is there a good way to resolve them?

[GUIDE] UPDATED!!! [MOD] How to make Call Log Limit practically Unlimited

Well this Guide with all its spelling mistakes somehow made it to portal
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For Developers: If you are planning to compile your ROM, and want to use this mod, then read This Post
Background Story:
I was missing the CyberShot Camera too much and found Google Camera has been ported to JB And I also wanted to try the Moded LifeLog app, which somehow was not working on my Pacman Rom.
These were the reasons I Decided to come back to JB Stock Base. I had a previous Nandroid Backup of Lovin's Z2 ROM for XV. I took all my Call-Log and SMS Backups and also took backup of some apps that I used. Then I restored the NAND Backup today.
after that I started restoring the apps+data. Everything was fine.
After few hours of using, As I always do, I took the periodic backup of my Call Logs again. That's when I noticed, the previous Logs were 700+ and now after making some calls, it came down to 500. after Some test, I found out, this is not problem of Backup software.
A little Google search revealed Android has a default call log limit set to 500 Calls.
I searched for Xposed Mod for this, found TrimNot. But it showed error. Most probably, it is only for KK. Then I thought why not MOD it myself?
That's how it all started...
The research & work procedure:
I first thought, OK, I need to find where the Calls are stored. After passing some time with Google, I found, the Logs are stored in a SQlite3 Database, in
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
There is no limit in this database storage. So, the limit must be in the code.
After another couple of hours, I found that Android checks if the contacts has reached 500 then removes the older. Searching with
Call Log Android
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in android API reference, where I found some leads on my research.
"public class CallLog" which is under "android.provider.CallLog"
Something told me, to look for this class, in the actual source code. But that's almost 30 GB and I don't have time. from some prior Java knowledge I knew, all class have their own source file, with the same name, So the name would be "CallLog.java"
Now I searched Google, with it and found exactly what I was looking for. The search took me to a Git page android/platform_frameworks_base
And here I found this code.
Java:
private static void removeExpiredEntries(Context context) {
final ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver();
resolver.delete(CONTENT_URI, "_id IN " +
"(SELECT _id FROM calls ORDER BY " + DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER
+ " LIMIT -1 OFFSET 500)", null);
}
The file is located in
Code:
platform_frameworks_base/core/java/android/provider/CallLog.java
and from the name I guessed, this should be inside framework files. Then I went into action. I first tried to de-compile the framework-res.apk file. I used Advanced APKTool by BDFreak
Using the windows search tool, I searched for "call log". I found nothing. Then I tried to de-compile "framework.jar". For this, I followed guide by Rizal Lovins - [Share Latest Apktool 4.2.2/Guide/Tutorial/] How to Decompile/Compile/Sign Apk/Jar
after the de-compiling was Done, I found there is a "android/provider" folder. Yes, it look similar to "platform_frameworks_base/core/java/android/provider/CallLog.java"
So, here should be the files. And I found Two files
Code:
CallLog$Calls.smali
CallLog.smali
I opened both with Notepad++,
CallLog.smali gave me noting.
But after a careful search, I found the exact query inside the ]CallLog$Calls.smali file.
I found this line -
Code:
const-string v2, "_id IN (SELECT _id FROM calls ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT -1 OFFSET 500)"
I just changed 500 to 100000 and I knew my task was done.
I then recompiled the framework.jar and took backup of my original framework.jar (took Nandroid backup ), replaced the original with my modified JAR file. Set the permission rw-r-r or 644. Then rebooted my phone.
Testing:
After the phone started, I made a call, then took backup of the Call Log with Call Log Backup Restore it showed 501.
This means my task is done.
Then I thought, why not share the whole experience today in XDA. So I started Writing this Guide.
F.A.Q.
Why I need more than 500 Call Log ?
- Well I work in Billing Department of a GSM Phone Exchange/Gateway. I periodically cross check my phone Call Logs with the Exchange SoftSwitch Data. Except for that, It's just fun to try something new.
Why this guide has no steps or required steps?
- Because, if anything I missed, those will be added later in the FAQ, from the comments.
Is this tested on any device?
-Yes,
My # Xperia V with LOVINS X™ Z2 ROM 9.2.A.2.5
# Xperia V NeoWave™ ROM
# Xperia TX OmniRom
# Xperia TX (unknown ROM )
# Xperia Z2 (unknown ROM )
# Xperia P Stock ROM
#Xperia P JB based Enigma v7.2 ROM
#CyanogenMod 11 M11 and M12
Can this work on my T/TX/TL/Z/Z1 etc. etc.
- Theoretically it should work on any Device and any ROM. But, practically, I don't know, why don't you try yourself and let me know
I'm newbie, can you provide me more simple guide?
- Well I'm a Newbie myself Just take a Nandroid Backup and start the process. What can go wrong? At most you'll have to restore the backup.
Go to every link and read those too. And Don't forget to Thank those people who provided the Tools and Guides.
Still If you don't understand my guide, read it twice, if it doesn't work read again.
Ha Ha Ha kidding. Here you go A Simple guide
Update:
If you are planning to compile your ROM, and want to use this mod, then read This Post
I switched to NeoWave™ ROM and just as usual applied my MOD. Restored 800+ Call Log from Backup. Now I find another limitation. It's in the Dialer. In the KitKat Call History, there is a Statistics option. Here it always shows
TOTAL: 500 Calls,....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So Now I'm digging the sources again to make the stats go higher.
Update: The issue was caused because, after sometimes (any call), the call history automatically turned to 500. Because the framework.jar was odexed and i guess, odex file had the old value set again. And for the NeoWave I used android MultiTool, it showed one error while compiling, Unsigned Short value exceeds, I didn't notice that. My bad. Now I have done the Mod again with Apktool (Lovins shared one) and removed the odex file and then Everything seems fine. Even the Statistics Shows, TOATAL: 1203 Calls, ....

Tested on OmniRom and works as expected. I've used an Xposed module before which does the same thing, but it's always nice to find new ways to implement things without having to use Xposed.

But, I am giving the Simple steps. I would be very happy if you can do it yourself.
I am assuming you already have Notepad++ or Similar text editing tool and know how to pull files from /system
Step 1: Download APKTool of your choice. I used Advanced APKTool by BDFreak
Step 2: Decompile your framework.jar. For this, I followed guide by Rizal Lovins - [Share Latest Apktool 4.2.2/Guide/Tutorial/] How to Decompile/Compile/Sign Apk/Jar
Step 3: Open the CallLog.smali file and any other files that starts with CallLog ( like in my case CallLog$Calls.smali ) in Notepad++ or any other Text Editor.
Step 4: search for "SELECT _id FROM calls ORDER BY" or similar lines. You will find LIMIT -1 OFFSET 500 change 500 with any number you want.
Step 5: Save the modified file smali, and recompile the jar file.
Step 6: Just to be safe, take a NANDROID backup.
Step 7: Take a backup of the original framework.jar, delete it from system and push the modified framework.jar to System and change permission to rw-r-r or 644. Reboot.
Step 8: test

WOW, you really did it. Sorry I was in training my juniors at office, didn't reply earlier.
You can use es explorer, or if you have adb, then you can use some shell commands. I can give you the commands, if you haven't done it already.
It should work. Let me check and mod a it for you.
Edit: Sorry, I don't have the framework2.jar. ant the ROM is too big for downloading now at office. But for Samsung device, I guess the re-compile process needs a bit working. you need to recompile the file, then open it in 7zip or WinRAR replace the AndroidManifest file with the file of the original, (then sign it then zipalign it not sure for jar file though). Then push it to the system.

I double checked it. Again extracted the framework.jar and decompliled it.The string of 100000 is there. But this thing is not working. I don't know why.
Can I share you the framework2.jar with you?

I will modify it and upload it for you. But I guess I will need the framework-res.apk with it. if there is any. But, I'm going home now, I'll update you by 11pm.
