Help with extracting proprietary blobs - Marshmallow ROM dev - Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
I wanted to see if I could port a vanilla version of Android Marshmallow to the 626, but I first need to extract the proprietary blobs from the current ROM to produce a new version of vendor.img that will work with the vanilla source code.
I found a guide on how to do this that is specific to the HTC M8, and I was wondering if any of you more seasoned developers could tell me whether or not the procedure was the same for our phones.
I would have posted this in the developers forum, but thanks to forum rules, I can't because my post count has not exceeded some arbitrary, secret amount. (Great rule! /s)
If someone could point me in the right direction for extracting the blobs, I'll get to work on producing a Marshmallow-based ROM for our phones. (This would be my first ROM development, so any help is greatly appreciated! )

[dsixda's kitchen]
This is the best kitchen I have found out. (To have rooted ROM, w/o any bloatwares, bash, de-odexing, and many more options)
You need to modify the updater-script file to a greater extent before using custom ROM developed by this kitchen, otherwise there is a possibility to brick your phone.
Though I have found out the correct parameters or changes to this and could build a custom ROM of my own. (fully functional ), but please allow me some time because creating a new thread takes a lot of time. Such that there are no loopholes and nobody should suffer any losses from the tutorial.
Since currently I have a huge office work load, I will post a tutorial soon as I had mentioned before in some other thread.

Hey Napstar! I have ported Galaxy Mini CM ROM to my Galaxy Y. I have zipped the folder after replacing Kernel and editing several files but when i try to flash it from my stock recovery I get errors like:
assert failed: write_rawimage("/temp/boot.img" ,"boot")
E:Error in /temp/sideload/package.zip
(Status7)
I think something is wrong with the MANIFEST-INF folder in zipped rom.
Can you tell me how to make a new MANIFEST-INF folder for my ROM.

Development guides/tips/knowledge

This thread is about development, for any other guides you should look here
Hey guys, our beloved phone hasn't got so many developers. So we should encourage the users to do something with their free time, let's call it development.(I an one of them too )
So the idea is: if anyone has some knowledge maybe he will want to share with us. For example: I will do some research and if I am lucky, I will find some guides for beginners in development.
After a while we can even make a document with everything that was posted here.
Useful links:
1) http://stackoverflow.com/ //there you go, you can ask everything about development there but don't forget to come here and share what you have found
2) https://github.com/munjeni/android_device_htc_golfu //ICS CM9 sources for our phone thank you munjeni, for your work
Basic things: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Doc:_Building_Basics
You might have heard the word "git", here is a short explication from Cyanogen
How to port
*here is a nice guide for ROMS
Note: You can port from almost any device but you can try devices similar to our device like LG P500, HTC Explorer, Samsung Galaxy Ace,HTC Wildfire S, Samsung Galaxy Gio etc
*here or here is how you can port any theme to any build
!Compiling things on a virtual machine isn't that good.

Please remember that aircombat has already written some guides for the device. So this'll purely need to be a development based thread.

[HELP] Porting MIUIv7 to HTC Desire 510 64bit

Hello everyone.
Now that I've got your attention, let's get down to business.
I am trying to port MIUIv7 KitKat to our device. I'm using the MIUI PatchROM to accomplish this goal. After I made the first patch I got a dozen rejects files written in smali code. I easily fixed them. But when I run the patch again to see If I got everything right I got a lot more of those rejects (a little over one hundred). What I'm trying to say is, I need professional help. I would really like to see MIUI on our devices. So please, if there are any devs or programmers out there that are familiar with reject files, smali code, etc. and are willing to help out on this project. Feel free to PM me or post on this thread. I think that this will be a huge step for our device if we can accomplish it.
Cheers,
Denny

I'm having problems with kernel development

Hello everyone, I'll start by introducing myself before presenting my questions and information that I think is necessary to recognize the situation. My name is Flavia. I'm a not very experienced and self-taught developer, I've never used xda and this is my first time doing a POST, I come here to ask for help for the developers, be it a beginner or an experiment, I've been trying to compile the kernel for Moto e5 (Nora) and I have had problems during compilation. I'm pretty sure it's due to lack of kernel drivers, camera drivers and f2fs format support, I can not say for sure, because I'm feeling a bit intimidated by this community, but based on the mistakes I can claim to be that. I would like you to help me solve the problems so we can evolve as a community and group.

Kernel already exists on Motorola Mobility Github, why do you need kernel? https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/oreo-8.0.0-release-nr
The only problem we have on Nora is the lack of Vendor files. Vendor takes alot of times since you have to type in every vendor file by file. Maybe when @CodyF86 releases the vendor files for Play, we will hopefully have it work on Nora. And with @MotoJunkie01 banned i don't think we will see any more progress since he actually works at Moto Mobility. Kinda sad that the people at XDA banned him..

Oreo rom for gt-i9305

Oreo Rom and kernel for gt-i9305 is going to release soon........
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Code:
Model=GT-I9305 [user=4613083]@rodman01[/user]
main dev working on our device GT-I9305 for Oreo 15 version
@thanks him...
@pandeyshreedhar: I've monitored you now for weeks asking the same question in nearly or even all available ROM development threads for the i9305, and you've never received any reply except by @rodman01. And here I tried to tell you that development for the i9305 halted and that nobody develops or intends to develop an Oreo based ROM for the i9305. I guess it's really time just to believe me.
The only alternative I recognise is that you teach yourself how to "bake" a ROM and to develop an Oreo based one for the i9305 by yourself. I'm very sorry not to provide better news.

For example you can find sources here: https://github.com/ComicoTeam/LineageOS-N7100. Within this manifests are more links to github repos which are "busy" or currently active for smdk4412 and/or i9300/n7100 devices.

@rodman01 !ok, thanks for your message
the thanks button is our best friend and usually its not needed to quote and to mention. I am getting 2 notifications and emails if someone is doing like that. And this caused by such an important post like the previous I know I can edit my preferences, but ...

OK SIR YOUR ARE GREAT DEVELOPERS.................................................
@rodman01 can you find any post that help to develop rom. I am try many time but not found. I also want learn education about how to create and develops roms, if it is possible and easy to develop roms otherwise not try any methods
oh mate, again quoted and mentioned, thanks for that and not pressed the thanks button. :good: (may I ask how old you are?).
btw: I am far away being a developer, as I stated more then one time.
Anyways: there are a lot of threads here on xda with general informations how to build a rom. Also "uncle google" is your friend. Then read, read, and again: read and prepare your pc with the needed sw and developer equipment. Once this is done, download sources, which will be around 10-15GB. With this finished you can start a build if you have the right device sources too. For i9305, I would suggest to start with default lineageos 14.1 repos, because as far as I remember those are working "right out of the box". Once this is done and build finished successfully and it is working on your device, you can start to port the i9100, i9300 and/or N7100 device, and kernel as well as vendor bloobs / changes to oreo for the i9305. Remember that modem, partition layout, kernel settings and a view other things differ from i9305 to the other mentioned devices.
Will say: that if you manage to get the developed changes from the above devices to the i9305, more work has to be done. I already posted months ago, that I successfully build an oreo version for our device, but sim detection and ril never worked with this builds. Also not after a lot of efforts from my side. But again I am no developer and I only tried things which I found for other devices.

My personal impression: Any ROM development for the i9305 came to a complete halt as it was already quite often called in the respective fora.
For me personally another indication: Even @benkxda closed his thread "Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE - ROMs, Kernels, MODs, Recoveries, Theme" on 2019-03-29.

Bro! Not any rom is update and develop
