Ok. I just removed it too. My bad adaptation from Evo LTE. Nothing too bad luckily.
Reuploading the fixed version now.

So. You're a kernel dev... Got a question for you. How do I add more CFLAGS to the makefile without it not booting or whatever? I've tried adding -O3 to the 2 places I know to put CFLAGS. Same place I put the -w so it would work with GCC 4.8

So you're allowing the integration of it? Just to be clear.

So I'm not sure why but the kernel borked again. Maybe I need to go through one flag at a time? Or maybe forgot something....?

Hey. Im having nothing but issues building it in the ROM so I was curious if you could tell me what I need to do after copying the msm8960 folder to a new place and adding in the makefile changes? Ive never built a kernel independently before but would like it to be a boot.img like normal so I can just replace the one in the ROM zip with the new one. Im sure it's pretty easy, just figured I'd ask you rather than comb through 80 guides saying different stuff lol.

Could you pm me with more info. Exact process of building, errors during build, any changes made to source, etc.
I'm gonna download your source later, together we should be able to figure this out.

I'm not seeing errors. Hell I removed everything but the -O3 spots and it still refused to boot. I dont know what the deal is....
Anytim I do ANYTHING to the kernel its dead, no matter how stupid it is.

BTW. The makefile is borked. And was curious if you knew how to build AOSP for this device? CM was pretty easy, I'd figure AOSP isn't too different. Then I can try to get Android L running once I have a working Android K to cross-reference to and make the version specific changes in device, kernel, vendor, qcom-common, and s4-common

When certain flags or 03 is added it creates a larger zImage. In order to compensate the boot.img needs needs modified, either by kernel installer or if baked in the rom hex edited. To change the ramdiskaddr.

Absolutely correct. And to elaborate on this just a bit more. Since your source building here, you can actually adjust the ramdiskadd with the scripts, considering it uses mkbootimg commands to build the boot.img.
An additional line in your devices board config, to give it a new ramdiskaddr size. Then an additional line in the build folder factory_ramdisk.mk , to handle the command for a new ramdiskaddr size should do the trick.
As for your other question about building aosp. I'm afraid that would be beyond my area of expertise. You would have significantly modify aosp code to allow for caf. It would be much harder then building cm, cause cm already has all the adjustments needed for caf devices

I read this and my eyes glaze over. But you are in good hands with these two helping you. :highfive:

Yeah I'm working on it guys. Read the integrated kernel building guide and trying that. But if I could just get it to build me the boot.IMG and get my ramdisk sizes and whatever I'm looking at where to edit it in the device/BoardConfig changed the defconfig to a custom one I made based off the original one from the working boot.IMG but changed the I/O scheduler & CPU governed defaults. Gave it a local name (UnityKernel-x.x.x) and am fighting its last issues. So if nothing else help building it independently might be the most useful now. So if nothing else I can push a new boot.img

My bad. It just says the boot partition size so I think I might be almost there

Porting CM12

Hi! I'm currently making a somewhat desperate attempt at porting cm12 to the d950. I know some basic things, I once tried to make a custom kernel. I have the device and vendor trees set up, with the cm12 source and the files from the flex source, and I've been making some changes. Can anyone help point me in some direction from here?

Okay, so now I need to run extract-files.sh, only problem is it doesn't exist. and from my understanding, I have to already be running cm12 to do this, which obviously is not possible. Can anyone help me get the proprietary blobs?

You're better off looking at the g2 proprietary blobs as when I was trying I had the most success with them on CM11, its a good starting point

So should I take those, then make changes to suit the flex?

Yeah, its a good place to start, but it won't suddenly make it compile, it helped sort a couple of issues once we'd got it compiling in the first place....

Try msg playfulgod and see if he will point you in the right direction

Alright, I've got something that looks pretty good going, but I can't do anything without a working kernel. And as I don't know much about kernels, could Someone possibly try to make one for cm12? Also, I have the blobs from my boyfriend's g2, and I've made a lot of changes, but I might need a little more guidance. Any help is appreciated.

Do you have coding experience though thats the question.
Either Build a dummy kernel or modify the original kernel from cm11 roms that your device has and built it alongside the system images.
CyanogenMod doesnt allow Building of only the system.
Youll need to modify the following:
Kernel Source
Device Trees
Vendor Files
A good way to look at what is required for a cm12 bringup is to check other similar devices with the same architecture and compare the changes and the sources you have on your pc.

I took programming classes, and there were a few units on android.

So I just forked the blobs from playfulgods repo, and I've made a lot of changes to tbe devices folder, as well as 'POSSIBLY' do something good as for a kernel, but I doubt that will work. How does one build the kernel to test it? Using linux btw. I have all of the dependencies and everything, could someone explain breakfast/brunch/lunch?

The device tree repos found in lg-devs github are the correct ones just change kernel source to our stock kernel and edit z.mk and verndor files can be extracted with the ./extract-fikes.sh script . But our kernel needs to be updated a little which i am working on mostly caf header need to be added to include/Linux for media and display. I trued using msm8974 kernel but our kernel has specific blobs we use which is easier to use stock kernel.

[Q] Wich files to edit when porting from TITAN to THEA

Hello XDA,
As all of you may know there is a 4G LTE version of the Moto G 2nd Generation, better known under the model number XT1072 and XT1079. Unfortunately almost all ROMs are created for the titan. While the titan ROMs boot just fine because of the almost exact HW, when installing those ROMS we don't get 4G and the speakers and earpeace, especially while calling, get unusable.
So instead of sitting on my butt and asking LUK to develop a 4G patch, can anyone guide me ? I know how to setup the SDK and know the theory about compiling from source but have never done it. Do we have to recompile something or can I just replace certain files with some other files from the (one and only) CM12.1 port for the THEA ?
This must be doable I think.

It's easy but I'm not going to help in dirty ports. Build roms from source instead, this is my recommendation.
If you want to learn how to build roms from source I can help you but you'll need to have Linux machine to do that.

Thanks for the reply Luk, I also think that building from source is the same. I have followed many, many guides but somehow the part where I have to point to the thea specific HW blobs fails. The extract-files.sh points to ./../../$VENDOR/msm8226-common/setup-makefiles.sh [email protected] wich I understand is the motorola folder in the WORKING_DIRECTORY. Somehow I can't find the right repo on github to point it at.
Sorry for the noobish Q... There is a first time for everything.
EDIT: I wanted to say that I think that porting from source is better, not the same.

Even with all the files in the correct directories when I exec the lunch command it doesn't list the moto G. See screenshot.

[KERNEL][NOT WORKING] Kernel Compilation Project

Since OnePlus 8 got LineageOS, I figure it's time for us to do the same. But first we should do some kernel compilation.
I've compiled the kernel successfully but it is NOT booting, this is for people who know more than me for these newer chipset which they can get the kernel message.
Here's the official kernel source i forked: https://github.com/TipzTeam/android_kernel_xiaomi_sm8250
Here's a link to the compiles of the kernel:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=314140
Good luck!

I've just compiled the kernel for the LMI (POCO F2 Pro) and it's 13.3mb image.gz-dtb file.
I have the same issue it doesn't boot, complied without errors.
I first did the compressed image, it's 13.3mb, next I did the uncompressed image and it's 37mb

Custom Roms/LineageOS on SM-T505

Hello, everyone.
I noticed, there are many custom roms, but not that many for the SM-T505. Is it because it's newly released, or are there other reasons?

Yes, this is a new device and many people are probably waiting for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals to grab one. I just grabbed one for $150 on Amazon, a steal compared to something like a Fire tablet IMO. This is a low-end tablet, so there won't be as much focus on it as say a flagship phone. But thankfully it's already been unlocked and rooted, so the next step will be to get TWRP on it, and then custom ROM development can start to pick up on it. Don't expect any updates before the end of the year for custom ROMs though, it will likely take time to have TWRP up and running on it, but I am hopeful that we will see good things on this tablet in 2021

Without kernel sources it won't happen. See https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t505 and https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t500.
You can request them on that page. I did it a few times but no response so far.

Just got an answer from Samsung, but don't get to excited. It was just an automated answer, that they received my inquiry. So stay tuned...

https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=t500 gives you a 514mb file with kernel and vencor files.
Maybe both 505 and 500 are similiar enough to get you started

Sources are available: https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t500
They include a toolchain in kernel tree, broken KConfigs and a lot of junk. I will try to clean a bit a mess and update a lean kernel tree to github

Will you also do a diff against the upstream version so we can see what they changed?

Sure, but I'm going to remove the toolchain from the kernel tree since the beginning. It takes About 1GB alone and I don't want to have it on git refs because it will still take a lot of space even if removed.
The rest of changes will be available on github.

It's been a long time, since i took up building custom roms and forgot about it for a while... if the kernel is cleansed from all the BS no one needs, that would be awesome.

There are a lot of small changes to comments and changes of 2 characters in a line. Wonder if they backported stuff there.

Kernel of the SM-T505 was just released...
If this is of any relevance, the download is 'just' 200MB... i wonder why.

The Platform Archive is mostly identical, just a few text files with notes and copyright were missing.
The Kernel Package as well, just small changes to netfilter and
a new defconfig file.
Defconfig for both devices also is more or less the same
gta4lwifi_eur_open_defconfig is missing one line compared to gta4l_eur_open_defconfig
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_FREECESS=y
Guess the difference comes from the toolchain mentioned above.

@paziusss
How far have you come?
Would be great if we had something clean to start a twrp and easier rooting

Sorry, I have a very bad internet connection (uplink it is ~50-100KiB/s)
I created the repo a month ago: https://github.com/pazos/android_kernel_samsung_gta4lwifi
,tried to push and failed. Never tried again until now, but it is still failing.
So, if somebody is nice enough to dump the contents of the SM-T500 kernel in a github repo, I can fork and submit the patches without having to upload the whole thing myself.

Thank you! It helped.
I had to apply the patch manually, so everything is in a single commit, but should be easy for others to understand what each chunk of code does.

Just realized I didn't upload the Platform folder contents. It's uploading as we speak

I really have to ask, can i use this to build a custom rom for the SM-T505 as well?
