Database Develop

OSA Development

Since this thread is no longer just about me trying to get lollipop running on this phone (I AM still doing that though) I decided to 'rebrand' it as a general development thread for OSA. What's OSA? It stands for Only Some Android...ok so whats that? A team name I came up with to make myself feel more important (btw we're always looking for contributors).
So instead of focusing on just lollipop I will be discussing pretty much anything and everything I am doing in regards to the Desire 510.
Original Post Below:
Hi all, I am currently working on getting lollipop working on the Desire 510. So far I had a successful compile of LiquidSmooth 5.1.1 a couple nights ago but not a successful boot. I am currently 97% done syncing the CyanogenMod 12.1 sources (5.1.1 r3) and am now using the omni twrp sources to ensure a higher compatibility for the recovery, I am hoping for a successful boot soon.
I have the virgin mobile cdma model of the device and that's what I will be targeting although I will do my best to make sure the device tree is universal. If anyone has any insight or advice I am all ears.
I am going to use this thread as a development thread until I get the required 10 posts and I get a booting rom.

im pretty sure shinrus device tree has a unified irl,its here https://github.com/shinru2004/android_device_htc_a11 ,also,did you update the kernel you were using? our kernel doesnt have support for loli,all tho rbhero has a branch in his kernel tree that he said works on loli

Im working on all that, I'm looking into using the msm8974 kernel, from what I have read it's practically identical to the 8226, I am also using the a5 (desire 816) as a template since the two devices are so similar. Little by little I am getting there, having to figure out these errors as they come.

rbhero has a modded a5 tree up if you wanna take a look at it,and just since your here..
have you gotten a error to something along the lines of:

Well the reason I posted this here is because I don't have the required ten posts yet. So I wouldn't have been able to make this thread to post anything. This is #9 and I am making progress so i will go ahead and contact a mod soon to have it moved over.

Gotcha. I didn't even know that was a rule. I was just giving you the heads up lol.

no worries. yeah you need 10 posts in order to post anything in the development subforums for the devices.
I just pm'd a mod and asked to have the thread moved to the appropriate subforum. Also I am making a LITTLE Progress, it does feel like two steps forward and one step back however. I'm confident that between those of us who are wanting it that it will happen.
Not sure if anyone is interested but I created another slack room under my account if anyone developing for the 510 wants to join and collaborate in order to (hopefully) let this device see its potential. Just pm me and i'll send you an invite.
Quickie update, I keep running in to the same set of errors and I know the answer is right in front of my face but im just not seeing it. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be missing some headers and libraries on my machine but I can't be sure.
Also I've forgotten how much I dislike working with kernels lol

whats up with the kernel? im good in that department for the most part,roms are...eh,not my specialty

I can't get any kernel to compile, I keep getting failures while making the drivers.
Currently using a pre compiled image to at least try to get the rom built, I can solve these errors, i've done it before on other devices. How's progress on your end if any?

& none,got so angry at the stupid libqdutils thing i had last night i havent even attempted anything yet,been working on setting zswap/vnswap up so we have some leeway when it comes to ram..you got github at all?

I was fighting with libcutils for about two days, stupid friggin unicode strings....but I got past that, right now it's mostly "no rule to make target" stuff which is easy enough after you go digging around to find the right file/line to edit. Right this very second though I am working on getting the mkbootimg.mk properly set up and get a recovery image cooked.

The TeamYAR TWRP doesn't, not to my knowledge. He had one built locally but he didn't send it to me. I have a CM12 kernel that he built that boots (rom is still ****) but needs default encryption disabled amongst other things.

It's kind of a "me" thing, If I am going to go thru the effort to port cyanogenmod to an unsupported device then I'll take the extra time to compile every bit, including the recovery.

[DEV] [WIP] Unofficial CM13 for the p880

Hey guys
In memory of a very dear friend who passed away yesterday, I am starting this thread and a new era for our x3.
CM has pushed their CM13 branches yesterday, which means it's time for a new project. This time, though, I will be all by myself.
Please do not expect any miracles soon, as the M sources still need to settle a bit before we can even hope for a halfway working build.
Once again, you have several ways to get in touch with me/us:
You can use this thread (but keep it development related)
We have our own IRC channel on freenode, called #p880-dev
Use our github site
PM (even though the other ways are preferable)
We are of course still open source, and you can find the repos on our github:
Device tree
Kernel
Blobs
Any help is greatly appreciated, be it pre-alpha testing, or helping with actual development and fixing bugs. Feel free to make a pull request on github, which we will most likely merge happily. If you're not that experienced in git, feel free to contact me about it.
If you want to use this sources/ROM as your base, you sure are allowed to, but please let me/us know about it before you release it and give proper credits.
That's all we're asking for.
I know you want to know the actual Status, so I try to always keep it updated in this OP:
Not working:
Most likely everything
Working:
Most likely nothing ​
Now, the most important part:
If you like our work and all the time we spent in order to get it working, feel free to buy us a coke/beer/whatever by donating a litte bit
Special thanks go to: (names in no particular order)

A quick update, CM's sources are still not compilable as they are still working on the initial bringup.
I will stay on it and see what I can do

I will pay you, just please make final ROM for 4X, with everything working as it shoud be! That would be awesome!

I will pay you too. I would like when I will be to have the final ROM fo 4x. Thanks

Make it working relibly and responsively, and I will pay you too. You deserve it!
I don't mind if it takes months to achieve it. Just make it at some point, and I'll be happy!

Can't wait !!!
ps. i'm sorry for your friend

I'm also waiting for complete bringup tried for daily driver... failed. If you need help just send me message on hangouts/mail

@laufersteppenwolf, I was hoping you could give insight regarding this current dilemma seen with CM13. http://pastebin.com/vHMRMS0E
Feel free to PM me or reach out on here. Wanting to know if you were successful getting past the problem and if so what was your solution. Your time and consideration is appreciated.

that's a CM issue and needs their fixing. Hence I did not look into it, because if I go on do my "fix" it will most likely differ from CM's fix and may then cause some later issues.
So I'm currently waiting for CM to fix it

Some days ago is builded a cm13 ZIP, but it doesnt even pass bootloader.
Here are my commits for device tree. I disabled most likely everthong what causes building errors like Audio and CameraWrapper.
Here are my commits https://github.com/lenzwagner/android_device_lge_p880/commits/cm-13.0
@laufersteppenwolf will be on IRC the next evenings. Hope you'll be there too.

@fritzcola, just got home from work, gonna check out those commits now. Thanks for posting them. ffmpeg has been a pain for me this past week trying to compile CM13 :-/. Gotta love a fresh brunch out the kitchen lol.

Just run "make clean" and "repo sync". Commits are already merged in source apart from one.
@laufersteppenwolf Can you upload the fixes to a " cm-13.0" branch?
And do you already go further than BL?

Yea, just verified I already have them in the source. Stagefright still being an issue. Need to look at gerrit and see if there is a commit on standby that may resolve my problem. codecs_utils.cpp fails to compile over at external/stagefright-plugins/utils/.

No sir I am not. For another device, forgive me if that caused any confusion. My initial post on here was with regards to ffmpeg. A hunt for an unofficial build on xda brought up a few links and so wanted to make contact with the dev(s) to see if they had the same problem and/or fix so I may compare and possibly adapt if applicable my previous outcome. As for my current issue I do not expect any answer or results from here since its completely off topic from this device. I merely shared it in response with no intention or expectations for a solution. . I did take a look at your repo and saw ffmpeg is obsolete so I removed it from my tree as well since it was most definitely causing my builds to break.

Yup looks like but for vulkan api only. I don't it'll be much problem with that. As u can see aosp 7 builds are already up for nexus5 , one plus one and few other devices which are 800 or 801 .

I hope stil working on s5 sm g900f

Can't wait for CM14, although qualcomm won't release new drivers for gpu. So I do not know, if it is worth to wait.. But our devs are geniuses, maybe the current driver packages will work, too.. But at first, I have to root my phone, what I don't like to do, because 0x1 is bad with warranty till January.. hmmmmmm... But Paranoid Android, CM14, ...

Alright guys, i got to the part where I have to sync the repo, so i pasted the link in the cm device tree github page that is in the "clone or download" dropdown (ends with .git) and i get this error in the screenshot... got any ideas?

The awesome thing yo notice in this post is network indicators. Looks like ril is working also I think its usable too. But we have to wait a lil more to get public build.

That's all I've found and that can be useful for both this Rom and others that you will develop.

Thank you, but I know how to dump logcats. I asked you if you could provide me some logcats of the rom not booting from your device and send me.
Thank you.

How does it go with progress?

Should boot if you use custom kernel and copy&replace blobs

I am giving up on trying to fix that error message. I am trying to build AOSP 6 and then try again patchtom, hopefully I won't get that error.

I know how to get miui booted, making aosp is not enough, there is changes you need to play with them like .rej files and boot.img too experienced on my old s2 plus i9105p. as I got stuck at animation boot.

MIUI ports were one of the most time-consuming ports. I'm not sure how does it look like today but I'm pretty sure it's identical to how it used to be. First you had to modify the ramdisk and then patch all java resourced and with a bit of luck you get bootable rom.
I'm really sick of seeing all those roms all based on 1 device tree which is not even fully functionall yet. People keep making "new" roms but all are actually the same, all have same list of non-working features. Just compiling different android distro with same device tree over and over.
XDA used to be place for original work and for people who put effort in their projects. Now kids keep spamming dev threads with copy&paste roms or useles threads.

Yeah. We have like 2 developers(one is a team) On this device. Haky and OpenKirin. And 6 "different" ROMs that all work the same, with the exception off the nougat FOMs, which have even more bugs.

I know man, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking in general. I know you're doing god work, despite I'm not developing anything since a long time I still read forum and follow what's happening.
Like @Vinnipinni said, 2 guys and 6 "different" roms. But all working the same.
Back in times people were more likely waiting for stable CM/AOSP before compiling bunch of other distros. Now it's just mess.
I really wish I could go back to developing for android devices, especially now when I have programming knowledge and experience.

This phone dead already?

Not even a year old and I feel like there is nothing going on with this phone not even from Motorola themselves, haven't had any updates since April 1st, and no custom roms or anything really.
I know Josh has worked very hard at getting TWRP on this phone and credit to him, just a shame the community is almost non existent

Seeing as how this phone already has TWRP, and can be rooted. I'm downloading the source code for Lineage OS 16 right now. I'll be building it for the G7 Plus when it's finished downloading. However, I'm on my laptop which isn't exactly powerful, so it will take a while.

Never has been anything going on with this device! That's why I got myself a Poco F1 for messing about with :+) (and this device is just too slow in any case)

Which is why I'm building Lineage OS for the phone. Give me about a week or 2 and I'l have lineage OS 16 working.

Thanks! I'm eager to try it out!

Check out our new G7 - River Development & Discussion Group. Most if not ALL Custom work will be released for testing : @MotoG7RiverDiscussion
In my last Group I created for the Essential PH-1 took off and is still running strong with over 500 members.
Don't forget, this device is still very new and let's say Un-Developed, but give it a little time...

Thanks! I'm waiting on the kernel to be finished. It only compiles to about 99%, then it fails. I'm waiting on someone to finish! Then I'll have lineage compiled within a day or so after they're done.

Do you have any guides for building or porting a ROM? All the ones I found are at least 3 years old.
I want to try building ROM's for the 2017 Galaxy A3 though.
