cm/pa building/discussion & plans. - RAZR i Android Development

hello all, I've just picked up a razr i as a temp standin while my xperia Z is away under warranty repair.
(it was cheap enough to keep too play with afterwards)
is there any reason why no-one has started on CM /PA yet? I've looked through all the posts and can't see anything remotely like a real custom rom..
I'm happy to start working on this (will probably leave it till my Z is back in use though), but would like to get a decent team together to work on it, rather than do it on my own, which is what I've done in the past for a few devices and burnt myself out!
if you're interested then let me know
DO NOT POST
Code:
+1
and me
or
let me beta test !
I want people with a more technical bent than a lot of the users on here to get involved.
for those people, is there anything I'm missing that would stop us building for this?
we have kernel source, and omars kernel looks fairly decent basepoint looking at his git, and some source from motorola that looks sloppily put together.
we can flash with fastboot, and even using blobs it doesn't look too arduous to get at least a 4.1 based build going, so am I missing something?
I'm pretty open on how I work, but I don't tolerate people demanding stuff, or expecting perfection, this will be a W.I.P for a very long time (especially if done on my own).

As far as i know, the problem is on intel processor libs... That's what i've read somewhere around here

Aosp and cm build with some modifications. The phone boots, but in a boot loop on my build. Haven't solved that and will not solve it I think. I have some skills in building, modifying and debugging, but not enough... To get it working. Give it a shot, we can help everyone to get past some certane problems we already solved.

hello the problem is that no source AOSP (Cyanogen or AOKP) have x86 libraries and formats, visit www.androidx86.org
if you need a beta tester let me know
The app also must be compatible with x86

The problem I faced was that at the moment of booting it kept restarting netd -- which is odd seeing how the Kernel iptables/ipchains and net configuration is the same on Motorola's one. [info]
I even tried adding and compiling extra modules on the Kernel without much luck -- and it was not the typical ramdisk *.rc files fix here.

Hmm I presumed that with the amount of x86 development boards about there would be a load more work on bringing cm across.
I'll start to have a look at it in depth in the next couple of weeks.

Harder cause it's not only based on cm10 it's alto different port

For MiUi 4.0 there was the possibility to make a stock based Miui Rom,
There even was one for our Razr i, even though it wasn't very popular.
Is this possibility gone with v5 or is there any other reason not to?

v4 is different, cause all the porting guides are adapted for it, plus there's miuiv4.1 for razr which is easily portable i guess, but v5 is a whole different matter cause it's based on cm

I will be very happy if anyone port miui 4.1 for our razr, i used it before, on my old phone
If anybody dev could do it i think many ppl will be happy as i.

I got Intel's AOSP Android (4.1.2) to build and then made some binary blob overlays on top. It show the Motorola animation logo on the Phone and then it starts flickering -- I have yet to plug adb to it, but I need to go to sleep soon.
Experimental File, adb enabled at boot: RazRi_AOSP_A001.zip [Flashes boot animation, this is using Motorola's *.prop files, which shouldn't be]
Experimental File, adb enabled at boot: RazRi_AOSP_A002.zip [Have not tried this one, this has safe cflags and default build.prop]
Source: https://github.com/oxavelar/android_device_motorola_intel_smi
Q: Anyone with two phones who knows what to experiment with? I put the instructions to build on the github readme at the moment.

[CM] CyanogenMod 10 KANG for the Xperia T [NEW]

This is a CM 10 KANG for the Sony Xperia T.
Thanks to:
CM team - codeworkx, Kali- and freexperia especially - they've done pretty much everything up till this point - hopefully I, personally, will be helping out a bit more when I have time. Right now the only thing I have done is compile and release.
This is an unofficial kang of their work.
Download - http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/roms/mint/cm/cm-10-20121002-UNOFFICIAL-mint.zip
GApps - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
Installation:
Install CWM from my other thread
Flash the zip in CWM
Flash GApps
If this is the first time you have installed CWM then copy the boot.img from inside this ROM's zip and flash it with fastboot
Reboot and enjoy
Working:
Phone functions
Mobile data
WiFi
Partially working:
Graphics - still glitchy in places
Not working:
Camera
Assume everything else - more works than what I've said though
Edit - never mind

When there are codeworkx, kali- and fxp working on it
And when fxp has already made a thread for it, what's the need for this thread????
And this is not development in the remotest sense
Let the real cm10 devs maintain the real thread
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yes freexperia has made a thread. However on that thread there are no instructions on flash process, no working/not working list and the download link is unclear.
While this rom right now is based completely on their work I the future I will be using my own configs and sources.
This is basically an unofficial KANG of their work, be nice for that to be included in OP

I have updated the OP and the title to do the above

Wow guys. Its seems that things work differently around here than other devices I have had in the past that I have developed for. I didnt know that KANGS were frowned upon.
I hope I have not annoyed anyone by releasing this KANG and apologise if I have done so.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
Its not that, it's just that freexperia haven't even released their first build yet and already someone is kanging, no harm in kanging, just everyone from the Xperia phones has huge respect for them and how much effort they have and are putting in,
I guess it looked like the thread was an attempt of a 1st release AOSP based rom, no harm meant its just how we are
If the KANG was of something different like paranoid or AOKP (which champ has already done) then no one would mind...

I understand. I too have huge respect for them and have used their work in the past on non Sony devices.
I might do what you suggested and work on paranoid android.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
I see no issue with doing this as long as everyone knows it's unofficial. Over on the S2 (which I own) forums there are a number of unofficial CM kangs like this and they're left to carry on as they are. You've given credit's but maybe worth adding also a link to the source so it's clear where you're building from as it's not your source. Once official CM10 is released it'll be over on the Original Development so they'll both be kept separately anyway.
Thanks
AvRS
Hey,
No offense here
I am full OK with Kanging our sources, but please do not release a version (this one is ok but future ones), until we released the very fist one. For now mint is not marked as stable we want to publish soon but it is "unfair" to release our stuff before we decided to go public with it in a good manner. Also for stability it would be nicer to wait for our first version
For future i am really looking forward to see some of your (and other developers) work to contribute back to CM project
Best Regards
Bin4ry
I'm cool with that. I have helped out the CM project in the past and would love to and intend doing so in the future.

[DEV][WIP] Porting & Booting Custom Rom via 2nd-Init

Code:
Disclaimer
**This isn't a ROM/anything you can download and install
**This Development Thread for Developer to have their idea's and sharing to get thing working
**I don't own a LG OPTIMUS 4X HD nor do i going to have $$ spent on it (I am not rich)
**I have bad experience with LG phone on the past
**I don't guaranteeing things working for you as i work on this on my free time & what's ETA?=SH1T
**How about a team? It's good if their's people lending a hand but i'm not into a team
As all O4XHD user should have encountering problem encountering Locked Bootloader which halt all the development here.
LG are ignoring user request for unlocking the bootloader for user therefore a effort have carried out to unlocked BL
I looked on a Tegra 3 Beast that doesn't even have any Custom Rom at all (I am shocked) therefore i might tried carry out some
development but as i would said it's slow and don't expect much because i don't own any device to test nor i'm a good developer
With BL Locked we need to do some workaround for the device.
Now starting to collecting data and required info for working on the device.
I need to focus my ongoing project for other device therefore don't expect thing will be done fast as i developing this for a phone i don't own.
What Can You Do?
[*]Post Link Regarding Info Might Be Useful
[*]Share some developer/workaround info
[*]Need some tester (Checkout the requirement)
[*]No ETA's & Trolling (Development Area)
[*]Can help by donating me (maybe getting device for me if thing work)
More to add.
Reserved #2
+1 happy to test have been using custom ROMs for years now. I have been looking to use HTC one x cm9 ROM as a port but I don't really have enough knowledge and have got as far as modifying build prop and kernel but not sure if it will get any where because of boot loader. Good luck sounds like you have more experience than me.

i know i can do nothing but a little support and a thank for you
I saw from another thread, that you already found the leaked bootloader.Because I'm entirely inexperienced with the Android ecosystem (and Linux in general), I can't offer much of help, but I'm willing to be a beta-tester if you cook up something!
There was some work to get CM9 running on the device using 2nd-Init. Im going to look into 2nd-init a bit more, and try booting a htc one x CM9 on this which might only just work.
I suppose you already found these?

Same goes here.
I am trying 2nd-init and as i don't have this device i can't progress.
Still looking in holes that can get us something.
CWM isn't complete as it doesn't really complete flashable(maybe)
but thanks for other for the link.
Any 2nd-init related thread are required to study more better on 2nd-init function.

Looks like you're abit too late bud. We had a fund raiser to give the money to a dev to work on the phone. Its already been claimed by kholk and I "think" that he's doing what he can. Its just your luck you didn't contact us first. If I'm not wrong, about 500-600 euros was given to kholk

Yeah, but kholk is working on unlocking the bootloader. He might not succeed, so it's great if more devs are interested and have a look at 2nd-init (which works quite well on older Motorola devices, such as Milestone and Defy).

I will look on it but then it doesn't mean a smooth progress.
Just helping here.
some hints to get resolved.
bootup "wallpaper" binary is started by lg.early.rc which checks for DRM binaries are where they should be in /system/lib and /vendor/lib folder, which normally would exclude any option for refreshing those at bootup.
bootup init files replace and removed if you use 2nd-init and it will reload the same binaries and you might get locked up, if its not cleaned.
modem binaries: they require some authentication it seems to get enabled, i did not find out what triggers it but using logcat -b radio did not help much on my OneX build.
wifi: LG have already compiled the kernel with the wifi driver built-in, which Means the libhardware_legacy, needs to skip the stage to insmod the wifi driver, it can be tricky or you need a workaround reloading the BTHID kernel module, to get around it.
for the wallpaper binary, you can always run it from Shell checking if you touched or removed liblgdrm or libdrmframework files, as it will Lock bootup, but thats only if you got the device in your hands, otherwise testers need to prepare to use the original kdz files and reflash Again, spending alot of time on nothing
using Mount -obind to get around replacing the files needed is the trick to replace lib supposed to be in /system/lib at bootup, using "ln -s" to point to a different bind'd folder when you actually can do it (from like a vold wrapper or so)
thats all hints i can come up with for now.
talked to some guys whom done 2nd Init.
They said aren't impossible but i am not sure they can help on this project.
I can't do much,don't have O4X for testing as well.
this the part of updates here
i do not believe anyone can do much without the o4x remote, especially when playing with 2nd-init and bypassing security and trying to improve.
it will probably die before it starts getting to boot
initially i seemed to be the only one getting a custom modded port working on o4x and i needed the device to get that far and as you said previously you will not ask for another contributed device, so it might just stop with our premodded recoveries by 2nd-init and maybe be leaked cm10 i did in another thread. (although not worth much)

Create a rom with a second init is the best option?A new rom ICS installed via cmw with the same kernel...
create a vanilla version (,a clean version,stile Nexus),for example a v10H, deodexed, without Lg programs and useless programs. I Believe the users like it a clean version, fast ,and powerful.
Would be interested in a stripped and tweaked version of stock, vanilla style ics. If it's do able?

Trying to port CM10

Hey guys,
I plan to port CM10 to this device. I have heard about several problems related to the Intel CPU including Moto libs, drivers, etc.). Anyone who tried that already, can you please report your exeriences here?
I guess a good starting point would be to rebuild several libs, trying to run the CM Framework "on top" of the Moto "baserom". Can still follow my point? Sorry, I don't speak enough English to explain my plan more detailed..
Did Moto already release Rom sources? As I heard the kernel source was released so Matt was able to unpack the kernel, am I right?
Thanks in advance!!
Kernel sources
Moto already released the kernel sources. You can find the in github
http://sourceforge.net/projects/razr-i.motorola/files/razr-i/
As far as i know, devs had been tryng to use the sources, but there's always build problems.
Although, i dont know anybody that have tried with the 9.8.2I-50_SMI-26 kernel, supposedly of Jelly Bean.
I cant help you much more, im not a dev ):
i wish u could bring Cyanogenmod to the Razr i.....theres not much i can help with, but i wish you luck!!
By the title, I tought it really was a CM10 ROM ready to be downloaded... oh well, i'll keep searching...

Hello !
Bought a razr i few days ago to replace my old Xperia x10 that I'll keep to continue dev cm10 and other stuffs on it...
Think I'll be able to port cm10 on razr but it'll take time....started working on razr JB rom. The whole framework needs to be modded and maybe the kernel ramdisk...then it'll be a "simple" port with "cm look "
But... If razr i device sources can be available then a real cm10 build from sources could be done.

Just a few news about cm10 compiling ...
Had a little free time and managed to download sources from motorola, implement them in cm10 sources ... and fixing few errors ...
Started a build with Motorola instructions ...
Facing few problem with toolchain that are different for x86 ... didn't had time to go further .
Will post again later to tell you about progress ... if there are some

AW: Trying to port CM10
Tof37 said:
Hello !
Bought a razr i few days ago to replace my old Xperia x10 that I'll keep to continue dev cm10 and other stuffs on it...
Think I'll be able to port cm10 on razr but it'll take time....started working on razr JB rom. The whole framework needs to be modded and maybe the kernel ramdisk...then it'll be a "simple" port with "cm look "
But... If razr i device sources can be available then a real cm10 build from sources could be done.
Read things have been already done for that by turl1
Let's see

Am I right? You want theme the stock rom that it looks like CM10? That is not a port and no CM10. There chooser won't work then and some other stuff too.
I think we should try working together to bring this project up to work. What do you think?

Just a few news about cm10 compiling ...
Had a little free time and managed to download sources from motorola, implement them in cm10 sources ... and fixing few errors ...
Started a build with Motorola instructions ...
Facing few problem with toolchain that are different for x86 ... didn't had time to go further .
Will post again later to tell you about progress ... if there are some

Good news! Usual tool chain won't work with Intel architecture... But I guess it could work with gcc/normal make by just editing the makefiles - if you want to build the whole rom it should be OK with some modifications. What do you think about working together?

Hello!
Yes with gcc/normal make it works with cm roms I use brunch command which works too
Took turl1's repo as base for the device and build environnement is ok.
Now it needs Motorola stuffs... The build stopped cause there are no include yet.
Will update my repo with what I've done so that we could work together
And yes building from sources is the best way to get better things

[ROM/MOD][WIP]CM for locked BL

Hello guys
First, big fat disclamier:
THIS IS NOT WORKING. Please don't try this for fun, only if you're willing to put in some time to help me get this fixed.
@djolivier and @letama worked out a way to get CM10 running on Xperia S with locked bootloader, loosely based on the work @atis112 did for Xperia U.
For the past couple of days I've been trying to port it to our beloved T.
It does sort of boot but there is nothing on screen. Logcat is working however and so is adb shell (though no su) so we have some way of debugging.
At the moment there is a working recovery (CWM 6.0.4.6 for locked BL by @davidmarco), enter it by pressing vol+ when the led is blue (it will turn green, then red). Here you will have an su shell and you can get dmesg and /proc/last_kmsg.
Please read the thread by djolivier to get an idea of how it works. In the last couple of pages you will find everything I have tried so far and some insightful answers from letama.
So the main thing now is to hunt down which are the libs/drivers we need.
I will try to get some more info into this thread asap but first I wanted to get it up so those of you who think they can help can get going.

This includes the .489 stock kernel, which is probably the best for compatibility.

I think someone starting this off is a great idea, when i have some free time i'll try to offer you some help mate.
But need to get up to speed with it all from djolivier's thread before anything else. But i'm happy to offer some help when i can, if that be testing, or general de-bugging.
This is awesome.keep up Timn8r

How about asking letama for help? He was the one getting this to work on Xperia S..
By the way, really appreciate you doing this.. Was already waiting for someone to try this on our devices!
When it boots up I will try to flash the 30p to 25i patch and see if it works!

Letama already helped me a lot over in the other thread, getting it up to this point. But now we need to find some very device specific stuff, that's best left to the people who actually have the device to test and debug. My time is limited this week and I don't have a need for this since mine is unlocked, it's just for the sport, so I figured, let's get some other people in on the action

now im not too sure of this so i maybe completely wrong so please correct me if i am but im sure i read somewhere that the CM kernel drivers and STOCK kernel drivers differ in some way or another ..... again i repeat im not certain on this but if this is the case then certain things in the rom may need redirecting to the STOCK drivers rather than CM drivers as they done exist? ..... if i am right i wouldn't have a clue where to start to be honest but obviously you cant change the drivers in the kernel because then it wouldn't work on LB ..... perhaps ask rimmer for some help or advice as he ported MIUI to stock?

Yes that's just about right. We cannot change the drivers in the kernel but what we can do, and what I've been trying to do, is trying to match the drivers in the rom with the kernel, i.e. swapping out CM drivers for drivers from the stock .489 firmware. But there are quite a lot, that's why we need more people trying, testing, debugging. We could go another way, namely build new CM from source to match the kernel but that's beyond me I'm afraid.
letama said:
There is no easy way to solve that I'm afraid. You can try to play with dlls (check this for a list), but it has big chances to fail. The proper way to do that is to get fxp repo, patch hal to match stock kernel and recompile cm.

i know less than you and stuck on windows 8.1 which makes it even harder for me to do anything to help .... i hope that this can get up and running ..... providing you can get screen and touch working its more than enough proof of concept of what can be achieved and if enough different devices get going this way then maybe just maybe teams like CM will revert back from thier custom kernel (which i dont like) and start using stock kernels in builds (we can all dream right?)
Any updates on this? I can help as a beta tester or help with building on my pc.

Not much going on on my end. I've been running on the leaked stock 4.3 for the last few days. I did have a little go on using the kernel from that rom to boot CM10.2 but I've not made much progress, seems that SELinux is throwing a spanner in the works.
If anyone wants to have a go, here's what you can do. Get the stock .489 here.
We should try swapping out .so in /system/lib/hw one at a time. You can do this by booting to CWM, mount /system and adb push, chmod 0644 the file and reboot. Get a logcat, reboot to CWM and get dmesg and last_kmsg
Code:
adb logcat > logcat
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg
adb shell dmesg > dmesg
Lather, rinse, repeat. It is a slow and tedious process, so the more the merrier

I replaced hwcomposer.msm8960.so, that seems yo have fixed it. Also tried a couple of others that didn't work: gralloc.msm8960.so (can't start), copybit.msm8960.so (brought back the camera probs). Still no screen.
Most prominent spam now is
Code:
smd_pkt_open: DATA5_CNTL open failed -19
I also noticed this in logcat
Code:
I/clearpad_fwloader( 681): hanlde_arg: option = [default]
I/clearpad_fwloader( 681): hanlde_arg: saved.module_id = [0x32]
E/clearpad_fwloader( 681): read_sysfs: Unable to open /sys/devices/virtual/input/mice/name
E/clearpad_fwloader( 681): read_sysfs: Unable to open fwfamily
That is the touchscreen. There is indeed no /sys/devices/virtual/input/mice/name. I'm not sure if it is related to the no video issue but it's a problem nonetheless.

Seems a bit of a dead end. Our stock kernel just seems to be to different from the stock kernel.
No-one else seems to want to pitch in and try some stuff out.
Might have another go with 4.3 when the official Sony's finally out.
it might be a stupid idea but why dont we swap out every .so file from the miui rom witch works with the stock kernel?
like i mentioned before
Why don't we try to do what they did with the moto defy/bravo and run a 2nd init. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...9ICIDA&usg=AFQjCNHMzrlHTlHC4EjfkhTkZxavJbEJow

If you had read the other thread, you would have known that I've already tried a lot of .so's from stock firmware but nog all of them work. This is the hard part, finding the ones that work.

Well the first part, the hijacking, is exactly what does mod is doing. With regards to the 2nd-init program, I'm not sure that init itself is the problem. The "only" problem we have is finding drivers/libs that are compatible with both CM and stock kernel. But I could be off though. If someone wants to build us a 2nd-init go right ahead
Wow just came back to the T forums to see how things were going and I see this! Hopefully Tim can port it I'm sure he can
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
I honestly don't think 2nd init would make a big difference, as TiMiN8R has already stated, the problems are the drivers. You can now either ask FXP to use drivers from the Sony 4.3 Stock kernel or do it yourself...
Good luck on this, you'll surely make it.

got the source codes?
I'm thinking about doing the same with Z1, wouldn't mind take a look at your work
If you asked me: here are the sources.

[Q] Is there any Kitkat X86 Phone out there?

Hi there,
I am on my way porting kitkat to our beloved Razr I. There is not much progress so far, as I started from a mostly fresh product environment a lot of work has to be done with much time consuming testing (The build system is really slow and not everything can be tested without rebuilding the rom).
A bit of a showstopper seems to be the precompiled binaries we need. They are compiled against some JellyBean Android system libraries and are not compatible. Instead of adding to the Kitkat-Libs I really would like to use vendor blobs compiled against Kitkat... Does anybody know of a firmware image of any X86-atom 4.4 Phone?
Development thread and github sources will be published within the next few days - but I still need 9 more posts to get access to that board
Hey there, maybe. . . can help this one?
H t t p: //software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-atom-x86-image-for-android-4-4-kitkat-installation-instructions-manually
Its no Image of a phone but for developing in emulation-environment
Maybe its more practical to get fixed the things for 4.2.2 first?
Enviado desde mi XT890 mediante Tapatalk
Agree. As I know there is no single x86 phone with KitKat. It would be great if we could have 4.4 but I don't know if there is chance for it - not yet.
Cyanogenmod could give our phone new live, even with Android 4.2. It would be great if anyone with proper knowledge and abilities could help in building and resolving bugs in 4.2 build.
