Why did you made a new thread?

Hello
first: I want to release this public, but to start I decided to share it with some known guys
I'm into android for a while right now, and tried many things.
A few examples:
theming
build from kitchen
adb
build from source
To do these things, you need to do some steps. If you don't know what they are, or how you should do 'em, then you're in the right place
I teached myself (and my father teached me) some bash scripting.
ATM, I use it for resizing images.
I'll upload a screen tomorrow, together with more detailed specs.
For now, it's an easter egg for you to find out
FEATURES:
DOWNLOAD:
HOWTO:
Remember, many features will come later.
You kids have fun.

You're welcome, I had the problem first also
It uses a package called "imagemagick" and a few others, with a nice combination of commands
And don't say thanks only, also thank me

Good work!
Il have to try it asap...!
Updated first post, updated app, updated link.
It's now a direct link, just give it a shot!
And from now on, if people are not grateful (but they don't have to thank me) OR do not give comment on how I could improve it, I will keep this private and for my friends only.
Nice tool!
Will take a look at it and if I have some more ideas to include, I will let you know ; )

You might wanna release this in the General Android Development section where more people will be interested, since here there are quite few who are new to developing on android and there are more full-fledged developers who basically dont use such tools... releasing this in the general development section will encourage more newbies who are fairly new to editing apps n stuff or building an environment... this tool is great, but you need to make it public to get the 'actual' response u want...
Anyway, all the best for this tool, sadly now i dont have my pc, jus an old crappy netbook which is jus nuff fo browsing... shall try this in march after my final exams...

Thank you also, and you Arjen also.
I will release it there, and also in Android Chef Central. There will more people be intersted, I know.
But for now, I think you people would be nicer to me iwth suggesting idea's, just becuase some of you may know me
Anyways, after someone made a suggestion and I was able to include it and include cpfr, I will release it there
OK, done. included some more things.
I think I will be trying to PORT APK MULTI-TOOL to Linux
Should not be too hard. I'll include it in my script when it's done and submit it to the DEV to publish it.
But I want you to make a request, just to keep myself busy!
Is there ANYTHING that takes you too long, seems too hard for you, or something you want to automate?
If not, I'll continue with building from source.
Please comment within 3 days

Maybe, automate the setting up of build environment for various versions of android...
So it would be like just start ur tool, go into the menu, select the build environment for the version your gonna build and it all does it by itself...
Downloading/installing packages etc..
I havent tested your tool so dunno if u have already included it in your tool...
Also, you might wanna create a directory of different types of custom roms and their github source codes link... like for example, cyanogenmod, omfgb, omgb, oxygen, aokp, codename android and so on...
So i open your tool, select the source i wanna download and it will do it...
Just my 2 cents...

Wait, this tool isnt just for O1...!
Its should me made for every phone out there... so maybe you should add the official sources and not ported sources... cuz if you start including port sources, it will be too much hassle trying to keep the source links updated, sometimes they change, too many ports for every available android device etc...
Also, u will b flooded with requests to add this source, add that source..
Do it like:
CyanogenMod- full official source from CM, github.com/cyanogenmod
Oxygen- full official source by oxygen team, (i dont remember the links)
AOSP
AOKP
CodeNameAndroid
OMGB
OMFGB
Etc etc
Add the official repo's n not ports...
It will help in keeping the sources more update as the official teams work more on their sources than individual porters do on their own sources...

well i know its a tough job for you but as i remember before starting development for our device you told that one of your friend will donate his ace 'i' to you:-
This is from your blog---->"SO, as you probably now, we released beta 4 of CM10.1, you can download at XDA, wayland threads, but another important new is that I'm moving to another device for a couple of days, many people ask me to and one of my friends will donate me one, the galaxy ace 'i' and I don't know if that is some kind of chance but broadcomm has released the HW drivers for this device, so they can finally get CM7 working, and I will compile it so stay tuned for more info "
So cant you ask your friend to lend his to you.........
First he have to buy a device and then Ive to tell him and then he decide to borow me or not... So probably by donations will be faster and also for.me free time here

Link will be provided as soon as possible :angel:
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
And Varun Chitre is also a great dev u can ask anyone and all of them will help u
About the mirror i dont think it is possible cuz most of the people(Dev) Live in india or other places where the Internet connection is slow u can use an extension for firefox i will link it to you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/
ANd please try not to post cuz if u see ur post it say """"555 Posts"""" Lucky number
U can PM Me Thnx
I will ask devs to mirror it
yes buddy mirroring is needed....the downloading speed is so less that my downld has failed more than 4 tiimes..
Alps Patch file
Here is the link to patch file @cybojenix http://d-h.st/BAg
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.

MediaTek driver sourcecode (want custom ROMs? read this!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50146816
No complete source, nothing to accomplish.
*EDIT* This thread is now based upon the work by @fattire and @slayher, who got it up on the 910T. For that phone see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/unoffcial-cm-12-0-t-mobile-note-4-t2964887
This thread is for dev's interested to help out porting CM12 to our device. I've researched for info regarding CM ports and good information is actually quit scarce. A dev might post something like 'hmm stuck at boot anim' and then the next day 'got it, booting now !' without explaining what he did to solve it. I want to change that, so this thread can serve as a guide for other first time porters too (this is also my first porting project), documenting every step as in much detail as possible.
For ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...official-cm-12-0-910f-note-4-trltexx-t2987412
Please use this thread for R&D/development ONLY !!!
Ok, I'm really starting from scratch and never done any phone ROM porting. I've just made a new virtual disk running ubuntu and am currently downloading the CM12 repo. I figured, how to get even started here. I figured that the goals we need to attain in this order:
1) compile the kernel samsung supplied
2) make sure we can boot into kernel
3) get ADB up and running
4) get CM12 starting up, even the bootanim alone would be a nice goal to reach
5) Booting into homescreen
6) Fixing all stuff like modem, wifi etc etc etc
Anyway, I'm currently downloading CM12 sources as we speak ...
This is by the way a link I found very useful: http://www.androidenea.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html It describes the Android init process, cause I was wondering, how to even start all this ? How to get from kernel to CM booting: that's where init.rc should come into play of course
Good luck this is a long project. I build carbonrom for another phone where everything for cm was allready fixed. I would start with a phone that allready has support to learn how the process goes. You can brick your phone and it's a process of trail and error... But I hope you manage good luck!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean ? If the phone already has support, then what's there to port ? Or do you mean building CM itself ? That I've done quite a few times already, did quite a bit of work on the i9500, fixing RILD issue's, kernel issue's and other stuff.
soo...maybe m wrong (has been a while snce ive ported) but im goin to drop a few lines anyhow......
porting is very different from source building.....the only reason you would need to dl the cm sources would be to compile the rom using sources...and right now the note 4 has none we would need device,kernel,common,vendor sources for that....so... we cant source build right now only port....sp what we need to do is research which device officially or unofficially that has cm with same specs as the note4 things like screen size, board, things of that nature....and would highly recommend using the same carrier as well.....but once we have that info....dl that phones cm rom zip....dl one of our phones rom zips.....now for the fun....ill lay out a way i did it maybe is the same still ...
place both cm zip and note 4 zip on desktop..
create a new folder call it new
drag all files from the cm zip into the new
open the new and open the note 4 zip have them side by side
now your going to drag pretty much all folders/files from the note 4 system folder into the new sytsem folder one folder at a time excluding:
app,priv-app,etc,fonts,media,framework,xbin (im probably forgetting one or two but has been a long time)
now the fun begins....time to edit some xmls and trial and error on pretty much everything until it is working right
you are also going to want to change out the kernel and have to edit the updater-script in the meta-inf....
im positive im forgetting a few things but this is pretty much what i can remember......from off the top of my head...some of the guides ill link in a bit will go into greater detail and explain things more in depth
a few links ive had bookmarked that will help ya

Threads regarding R&D belong in development, so I guess it really belongs here. Even more so cause if it's moved to general, tons of n00bs will join in and destroy the thread. please keep this developers only.
Anyway thanks to see you join in Spleef, much appreciated !! Still setting up my environment myself ...

soo...maybe m wrong (has been a while snce ive ported) but im goin to drop a few lines anyhow......
porting is very different from source building.....the only reason you would need to dl the cm sources would be to compile the rom using sources...and right now the note 4 has none we would need device,kernel,common,vendor sources for that....so... we cant source build right now only port....sp what we need to do is research which device officially or unofficially that has cm with same specs as the note4 things like screen size, board, things of that nature....and would highly recommend using the same carrier as well.....but once we have that info....dl that phones cm rom zip....dl one of our phones rom zips.....now for the fun....ill lay out a way i did it maybe is the same still ...
place both cm zip and note 4 zip on desktop..
create a new folder call it new
drag all files from the cm zip into the new
open the new and open the note 4 zip have them side by side
now your going to drag pretty much all folders/files from the note 4 system folder into the new sytsem folder one folder at a time excluding:
app,priv-app,etc,fonts,media,framework,xbin (im probably forgetting one or two but has been a long time)
now the fun begins....time to edit some xmls and trial and error on pretty much everything until it is working right
you are also going to want to change out the kernel and have to edit the updater-script in the meta-inf....
im positive im forgetting a few things but this is pretty much what i can remember......from off the top of my head...some of the guides ill link in a bit will go into greater detail and explain things more in depth
a few links ive had bookmarked that will help ya

all of these links in one way or another have helped me during my porting phase hope they do the same for you ...like ive said before im more of a source builder so thats what imgoing to be trying to do is getting a working tree... but if you need help just hit me up ill do what i can

Great addition to the thread ! Hmm I haven't done any porting myself. I figured once we have a kernel up (compiling it should be easy), then what's stopping us from booting CM ? I mean of course RILD won't work if we don't have a JNI (or what's it called on ART, ANI ? ) interface to the modem. Of course we won't have NFC, internet, telephony, all that. But merely booting a graphical interface that should be doable with Nexus 6 source code, right ? I mean all we need is SoC sources so we have cpu & graphics working, right ? So That was what I had in mind myself but your approach actually is quite the same now I think of it
Thread is moved to general AGAIN. Hehe. Starting a development thread ON XDA and have it in the developer section seems harder than porting CM12 Anyway I guess it doesn't matter in which section it is, as long as n00bs and trolls stay out and we can focus on development only.
Anyway, downloading kernel sources as we speak ...
BTW, here is Nexus 6 source code: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-nexus-6-factory-images/
Going to down that right now too ...
Ok, building kernel as we speak. I just installed the arm-eabi-4.7 toolchain, like this:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.7/
And then edited the makefile and issued the 3 commands all as specified in README_Kernel.txt from the Samsung Kernel. So far so good
And yes, as expected, build breaks:
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs_test.c:25:19: fatal error: ../sd.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs_test.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/ufs] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Hehe, Samsung wouldn't be Samsung if they would supply a kernel that actually builds from the start Going to investigate ...
Actually that seems like an easy fix, just linked the file correctly
And a new break:
In file included from drivers/gud/MobiCoreDriver/logging.c:21:0:
drivers/gud/MobiCoreDriver/main.h:24:22: fatal error: platform.h: No such file or directory
I'd say it's looking for the file in platforms/MSM8960_SURF_STD, going to link it correctly ...
And building again ...
n file included from drivers/video/msm/mdss/mdss_mdp_trace.h:255:0,
from drivers/video/msm/mdss/mdss_mdp.c:61:
include/trace/define_trace.h:79:43: fatal error: ./mdss_mdp_trace.h: No such file or directory
Include should point to kernel includes, fixing it again
And building again ...
Code:
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
LZO arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo.o
LD arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
Kernel ready Of course that was the easy part, hehe, but still, progress. Tomorrow going to start with the difficult part, getting CM up
I've ported before but only tw where it was mainly framework edits. Never worked with cm before but like the op I'm keen to learn. If i can help at all just let me know, I use linux mint myself rather than Ubuntu but they're very similar
So, just downloaded Nexus 6 sources. It seems that directory /device/moto/shamu contains the device hardware stuff we need ! Going to research some more today ...
*EDIT* also mind the propietary-blobs.txt in that directory. I'm still waiting for my Note 4 myself (hopefully friday), but this needs to be compared with the files on the device, cause if they exist, they will be blobs of course and we need them.
I am planning on building a custom rom, I would want CyanogenMod 14.1, or other custom rom, but I need a small team to develop it, to get the best result possible. I think it would be fun and maybe even do some great work.
But, I have some requirements:
1. Know big part of linux(ubuntu) commands
2. Know english or my home language, I hope you see at my profile from what country I am if you talk my home language just give me a PM. But I'm happy with both of them.
3. Have a computer(lol) and maybe 2,3,4 or more GB of ram and 100GB of storage for developing
4.Have a P8 Lite to test the progress of the rom.
Please do not make hate or fun or fun of me just because this thread sounds funny.

I know, but more teams= more progress; more roms
You better join their team

, Would be better, but I'm not still at their "skill" level. I know how to build a rom from source, but I do not use my own source code, I often use XePeleato's source, I need to learn how to build device tree, blobs, etc.

Then create a topic in Development and post your progress as soon as you've done anything. The community tells you if it works or not, but building for this device without experience is not that easy. I wish you the best of luck, but only using XePeleato source and adding nothing won't help at all. If you think you can fix something, just commit to their github. But you won't find a developing team over here. I would try to learn myself, but I don't have a PC that's able to do anything. Try to build things yourself, commit to their github and try to help the OpenKirin team. There nothing else to do here for you, if you're inexperienced.

Just to joke a little : with only 2GB RAM & 100GB storage, you'll be able to build the whole source code of Android MM or N, in a few days
Now really, you need at least 16GB DDR3/4 and minimum 200GB storage ( preferably SSD ) , because you need to set ccache to 50GB or maybe 100GB ! If you have only 100GB and setting ccache to 50GB, with only 50GB storage free - you'll never be able to build the whole source code !

+1, i have i7-4770k @ stock, 6gb of ram and 140gb of samsung ssd allowed to virtual machine. And first build takes about 2hr30min
I know little about Linux, but I heard that developers can use Google Cloud.

That is what I'm going to do in the next days, I need to research a lot for now and if I (god help) succeed I'll let you know.

:laugh: :laugh: I know I exaggerated, but I just use 8GB of ddr2 and a 250GB HDD, repo sync takes approximately 2 hours and building the rom somewhere like 3:45-4:30 hours
This sounds like april fools! Dude that doesn't know anything wants to spear a dev team? Maybe this is hi620softs other account? :silly::silly:
