[GUIDE] How to build CM12 From source for the MB886 Atrix HD

I've had some people PM me for guidance building CM12 from source from the Atrix HD. There are currently no device specific guides, so this will help those of you who want to get their hands dirty with development but don't have a place to start.
Please note that I am writing this from memory as I don't feel like wiping my build environment and setting it up again for the purpose of this tutorial. That said, this *should* be accurate, but if you hit any snags comment and we can try and sort them out.

Overview
I. Preparation
II. Installation of the required packages
III. Installing Java
IV. The sources
V. Building the ROM
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
I. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind
Time
Patience
First of all, you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit from within a VirtualBox VM.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A NORMAL USER. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
II. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
III. Installing Java
You need a version 6 Java Development Kit for building CM12.0. Usually, the SUN JDK 6 is recommended. But there is another way: you can use the OpenJDK 6. When you installed the required packages as described above, you will just need to configure your Java installation.
Check your Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
All done.
IV. The sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Cyanogenmod.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create the working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm12
$ cd ~/cm12
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.0
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished - takes some time to download the many GB of source code!
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
Initialize the environment
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
Obtain the proprietary files:
First get missing repositories for the Atrix HD by running
Code:
$ breakfast mb886
Then create a file with the name local_manifest.xml in the local_manifests directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager. Use this code
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm12/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola.git" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ cd ~/cm12/vendor/cm
$ . get-prebuilts
$ croot
And you're done!
V. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch mb886
And the building process starts. Now have patience. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older,slower machines and VMs.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm12/out/target/product/mb886
It is called cm-12-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-mb886-zip. You can flash it via CWM/PhilZ/Cyanogen Recovery as usual.
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm12
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch mb886
Compiling takes less time than it took for creating the ROM the first time because it's only building new parts while reusing old parts that haven't changed. Occasionally you might want to wipe your output directory and build completely anew. To do this:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm12
$ repo sync
$ make clean
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch mb886
Good luck!

Thank you. Great work!

Awesome work mate

How can we build aosp for atrix hd?

almost the same, just you have to download aosp source insted of cm's.. give the aosp link while initialising the repo.. google it, you will find it

I have the aosp source, but I dont think the "brakfast" and "lunch" command will work till I edit/add few files, I have added the local_manifest file, and given path to muppets repo.
Still few more things would be required. any links to read would be great help.

[Guide] Build ASOP from source with Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

First let me give you some background information before we start. I know there are guides out there but I found them all to be incomplete either missing a step here or there that is why I am posting this guide. After a lot of trial and error I tried to make the process as simple as it can be. This guide is for Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Desktop or Server version. This guide might work on other distros but I cannot guarantee it. This guide is designed to build the AOSP rom from Google source jellybean to lollipop. I highly recommend doing this on a remote server, like a vps or dedicated box. This guide is for root users if your not root then you may need to use "sudo" on many of the commands.
## Disclaimer I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device this is a guide only. I am not a master developer or linux guru if you have questions I will try to answer them best I can. ##
Most important command if your on a remote machine this will keep the process going if you get disconnected.

## Establishing a Build Environment ##
# Java Install
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade (upgrades all the packages installed on system that have updates)
apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk (Lollipop)
apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk (KitKat or older)
# Optionally, update the default Java version by running:
update-alternatives --config java
update-alternatives --config javac
# Check if JAVA is Installed
java -version
# You should see something like this depending on the version you installed.
java version "1.7.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.3) (7u91-2.6.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.91-b01, mixed mode)
# Installing required packages
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip python-networkx libswitch-perl schedtool
## Downloading the Source ##
# To install Repo:
Make sure you have a bin/ directory in your home directory and that it is included in your path:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
# Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
# Initializing a Repo client
# After installing Repo, set up your client to access the Android source repository:
# Create an empty directory to hold your working files. Give it any name you like:
mkdir WORK
cd WORK
git config --global user.email "useyourrealemail"
git config --global user.name "usearealname"
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
To check out a branch other than "master", specify it with -b. For a list of branches, see Source Code Tags and Builds.
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.1.1_r1 ( To build only Lollipop. I suggest this option for most)
## Downloading the Android Source Tree ##
# To pull down the Android source tree to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest, run
repo sync -j4
# The Android source files will be located in your working directory under their project names. This takes anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours depending on your internet connection. (Thats why I recommend building on a remote machine)
## Binaries ##
# Extracting the proprietary binaries
# Each set of binaries comes as a self-extracting script in a compressed archive. After uncompressing each archive, run the included self-extracting script from the root of the source tree, confirm that you agree to the terms of the enclosed license agreement, and the binaries and their matching makefiles will get installed in the vendor/ hierarchy of the source tree.

Im not sure you will have to search the forums or google.

AOSP built just fine for me with OpenJDK... and Google's documentation page seems to say OpenJDK is the right JDK for building under Ubuntu. So the build script seems to be incorrect. I got past the error you reported by tweaking the check.
In build/core/main.mk line 195 (the line which ends with "grep -i openjdk),)") I changed "ifneq" to "ifeq" and then it built fine for me. Probably not the right change, but it let me proceed. I was building aosp6 on Ubuntu 15.10 with java-8-openjdk-64.

I mainly got the error when building diffrent versions of 4.1.2 to 4.4.4. I never got the error when doing lollipop so I included the oracle fix just to be safe incase others incounter the same problem. Thank you for the possible fix I will be testing it out soon.

[KERNEL] {WIP} Port Lollipop 5.1 Source -> AOSP Marshmallow 6.0 [Device_a32e]

Currently Building Bootable Android 5.1 Kernel From HTC DEV Source.
(THIS IS THE STOCK 5.0.1 / RUU Version = 1.23.1550.3 CL637541 RELEASE-KEYS)
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 02:35:36 CST 2015
This has been compiled and will boot on the device.
NOTE: WI-FI IS NOW WORKING
NOTE: DT Blobs broken:Fixed by using Blobs pulled from the device.}
WORK IN PROGRESS !!
Currently HTC has not released the Kernel Source for Marshmallow 6.0.1.
Solution: Port the 5.0.1 HTC Source by merging with AOSP device/lge/bullhead-kernel
Current Status:
WORKING KERNEL NO CHANGES FROM STOCK
Will Build for other Devices upon request.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to this project would be appreciated.
I'm in the process of setting up the GIT and the project on XDA.

Setting Up To Test 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 Kernel Build
First I would like to mention that a full LINUX Development Environment is required to perform most of these tasks. If you don't have the development environment set up then please do the necessary research.
To test YOUR development environment and the HTC-DEV Kernel Source it is necessary to perform the following steps.
1 ) If you are currently running Marshmallow 6.0.1 you will need to downgrade the device to Lollipop 5.0.1 using the RUU. Please note that the Lollipop RUU is no longer available on the HTC-DEV site. Don't worry we will be going back to Marshmallow but need to test in lollipop first.
Please see the following thread for instructions on downgrading the HTC Desire 626s.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/development/metropcs-htc-626s-to-lollipop-t3460391
:good:
2) Download the Kernel Source Code from the HTC-DEV Site.
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
If you use the filter for device and select desire 626s you will see only the 626s kernel sources.
The device I have = HTC Desire 626s (a32eul) " Carrier Metro-PCS"
The Kernel Source I am using.
Device= Desire626s Carrier=HTC Region= Gen Unlock Type=CRC
Kernel Version=3.10.49 Android Version=v5.1 Size=548 MB Description=1.06.617.6

Backup the device boot.img & Unpack / Split the kernel + ramdisk + dt.img.
Now we are all on the same page. " Same Setup Fresh Install "
Lets get down to business.
I'm going to go through the steps that I use. If you plan to work along with this project I recommend that you keep the same directory structure that I have. This way all the commands I give you will work. You may wish to change the directory structure but if you do.... remember you will need to adjust the commands accordingly.
So from a brand new fresh install.
#1 install twrp recovery
#2 install supersu
#3 Open supersu on phone
#4 Make sure usb debugging is turned on ect. ect. ect.
#5 Lets get the boot.img from the device.
Connect the device to the computer
From this point forward all commands are executed in the Linux terminal shell.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Copy boot partition to the external sd card.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=sdcard2/Boot.img
Pull the boot.img to the computer.
If still in adb shell exit out.
Code:
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard2/Boot.img
#6 Setup some directories and move the boot.img into our project.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
mv Boot.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
cp ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/Boot.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
#7 We need AIK-Linux boot tools. Download them from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
Please do use these bootimg tools. You might have others but AIK-Linux unpacks and repacks the image files as "ROOT".
Using other tools or not unpacking / repacking as ROOT will cause a bootloop specifically in Marshmallow even if the boot.img is good.
Code:
mv ~/Downloads/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux
tar -xvzf ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz
rm -f ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz
mv -v ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux/* ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
rm -d ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux
Ok I know ????????
You want to know what we need the boot image for anyway !!
The a32e_defconfig file that comes with the HTC-DEV source code is not the exact configuration that HTC used when they built the kernel.
We want to start out with the same configuration RIGHT!!
Yes we do...... and after we have a verified working Kernel.......then we can start making changes.
In a nutshell /proc/config.gz will not work to pull the existing configuration. HTC did not enable that option. Lucky for us there is another way to generate the configuration file & that's reason #1 that we need the boot.img. There is another reason but we will get to that later. ( Other than having a Backup of the boot.img LOL. )
#8 Unpack the boot.img
Code:
sudo ./unpackimg.sh Boot.img
Make sure you use "sudo" it is nessessary.
The output should be
~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux$ sudo ./unpackimg.sh Boot.img

sudo cp ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/Boot.img-zImage ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/kernel

Getting Running Kernel Configuration
#1 Lets get the current running Kernel Version
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/
Code:
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'
My output is as follows.
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 02:35:36 CST 2015

Hopefully you see or know why this is important to us.
In order for our new kernel to load and not reject existing modules the version of the new kernel must match.
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269
And also the 26c2269 is the number we need,
to match the exact commit of the source code that this specific kernel was built upon.
In theory when we checkout a branch and that would be used as part of the tag.
Right now the most important thing to us is the "-perf"
And the ".-g26c2269"
We will need those soon.
Now lets get that .config / a32e_defconfig file.
Wayy back in step number 2 of the 1st post you were supposed to get the HTC-DEV Kernel source.
If you didn't it's time we need it now.
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
When you get to the HTC-DEV download page just filter by device and select desire 626s.
#1 Set Up Basic HTC-DEV Source Directory Structure
Code:
cd
mkdir ~/android
mkdir ~/android/device
mkdir ~/android/device/a32e
mkdir ~/android/device/a32e/platform
#2 Setup the Kernel Source
Code:
mv ~/Downloads/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip
unzip ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip -d ~/android/device/a32e/
rm -f ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip
cd ~/android/device/a32e/
tar -xvzf ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.tar.gz
rm ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.tar.gz
mv -v ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327/* ~/android/device/a32e/
rm -rf ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327
mv ~/android/device/a32e/platform.tar.gz ~/android/device/a32e/platform/
#3 Pull the config from the kernel
Code:
cd ~/android/device/a32e/scripts/
./extract-ikconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/Boot.img-zImage > Big-Country_defconfig
mv -f Big-Country_defconfig ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs/ORIGINAL/
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs/ORIGINAL/
Open up the Big-Country_defconfig
It is in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
Open it with G-Edit or whatever text editor you use.
Search for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=
and change it to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
Open up the main makefile. in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/Makefile
VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 10
SUBLEVEL = 49
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME = TOSSUG Baby Fish
At the top of the file change EXTRAVERSION =
EXTRAVERSION = -perf
Now lets backup the edited Big-Country_defconfig.
Code:
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
Now were cooking.

Preparing and Building the Kernel
#1 Get the GCC Toolchain
First if you have a dev environment set up you should have a repo set up.
If not go to aosp site to see how yo set up a repo.
https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
Then get the toolchain
Code:
cd
mkdir ~/android/Toolchains
mkdir ~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts
cd ~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8
Were gonna use the 4.8 toolchain.
[email protected]:~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8

#2 Initialize the Kernel Build
Go to the home path of the kernel
Code:
cd
cd ~/android/device/a32e/
Export the required variables.
Code:
export TOP=~/android/Toolchains/
export PATH=$TOP/prebuilts/arm-eabi-4.8/bin:$PATH
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts/arm-eabi-4.8/bin/arm-eabi-
Clean out any old left over stuff from previous builds.
Code:
make clean
make mrproper
Dont worry about this warning it's not a problem.

/home/bigcountry/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile:228: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `dtbs'
Initialize the configuration for our device.
Code:
make Big-Country_defconfig
This warning is also ok.

If your curious and want to see how many settings there are.
Just don't change anything for the first run.
Code:
make menuconfig
Were ready to compile
set -j to the number of cores your computer has.
Code:
make prepare
make all -j8
In about 5 min or less you will have a compiled kernel.
after you see the zimage output message
The last 2 lines output from the build.
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
Code:
make modules -j8
Then you should see:
[email protected]:~/android/device/a32e$ make modules -j8
CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
CC scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s
GEN scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h
HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o
HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 24 modules
During the build:
You will see 1 warning message for an uninitialized jump.
And 4 warning messages about relying on default adress.
Thats the broken dtb issue.
No worry for now. We will repack the boot.img with the new kernel zImage and use the original dt.img.
Good enough for this test.
Also as i mentioned we have to build the wifi module out of the tree.
We will get to that. So in this state the kernel will boot and the device functions with exception to wifi.
Remember this run is just to test the baseline system and source code.

Packing The Kernel Into Boot.img
First lets backup our kernel config files.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/.config ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/.config.old ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
Now lets copy all the modules and kernel z-image we built.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/modules
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage/kernel
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage-dtb ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
shopt -s globstar
cp **/*.ko ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/modules/
Compare the new kernel version to the original version.
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'

Repack the Boot Image.
For now we are just using the original ramdisk and original dt.img.
Later on we will make some changes and then repack.
Were just making sure things boot first.
We have to do this as root.
Code:
sudo
Copy all files needed to AIK Linux for Repacking.
Code:
sudo cp -r ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/ramdisk ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/ramdisk
sudo cp -r ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/split_img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/split_img
sudo cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/split_img/Boot.img-zImage
Repack the Boot.img.
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux
sudo ./repackimg.sh
Yaaayyyy Now we have a boot.img we can flash. (For Testing / Developing Only)
Copy the boot image to our project.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot
sudo cp -f ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/image-new.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot/image-new.img

Flashing the New Boot Image
Flash and test Boot the new Kernel
#1 Boot the phone into download mode
Connect the device to the computer
Boot into download mode using the power and volume down key after turning off the device.
Or boot to download mode using adb.
Code:
adb reboot download
#2 Flash the boot image
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot/
fastboot flash boot image-new.img

Who is Who and What is What
This is the prima/pronto wireless net driver.
/system/lib/modules/pronto/pronto_wlan.ko
We will need to get source code for this module to build it.
The Mocana Cryptographic Loadable Kernel Module
crypto_test_mod.ko.3.10

We will need to get source code from somewhere.
This I believe is a Qualcomm Module for the MSM8909 Board
core_ctl.ko
We will need to figure this one out.
This Is for large sd card support
texfat.ko
We will need to figure this one out.
So far with our extraversion and localversion settings during compile the original modules still work.
Long term we really want to be able to build theese

RE-Boot and run your new kernel and modules with a smile.

Customizing the Kernel
Changing and Customizing The Kernel

SUCCESS !! ( Build the Prima / Pronto Wlan Module)
Fix ADD the DTB Blob to the Source
reserved space

I'm so glad somone is doing this I've been wanting a new kernel for a while and I think this might help make a path to new roms

This looks great. Can't wait to see where this goes. What can I do to help?

@zixxorb
You can run through with all of this and get the kernel running on your device.
Right now im working on getting the missing modules to build.
So you can work on that to.
The modules that are generated during the compile function properly.

Ok, so I'm more of a noob to doing anything with kernels, idk what I need to do exactly. Plus I'm already on 6.0 (this is my main phone)

The Most Valuable Document Ever
This is exactly what we need to answer some questions.
Authored by Qualcomm and one of the hardest things to find.
Make sure to copy this wile you can.
It's practically Top Secret.
https://github.com/dante198406/Qual...0-NR964-4_C_MSM8909_LA_SW_User_Manual_SPD.pdf
Get it wile you can !!

Just a general update.
I have updated the modules install section.
It now includes the instructions for installing the new modules.
The modules have been tested and seem to operate without issues.

Will this work for the sprint variant?
I'm a noob so pls permit me if this question sounds foolish. All through the tutorial, it seems this kernel is for the Metro PCs. Will it work for the sprint variant of 626s?

This tutorial is based off of the Metro-Pcs version.
The HTC-DEV site has separate source code for each device carrier.
You would follow everything exactly except.
1 ) From the HTC-DEV site download the source code for your specific carrier.
For sprint download sprint.
For t-mobile download t-mobile.
Set the device filter on the website to be desire626s
and you will get this.
2 ) in the section #2 Setup the Kernel Source
There are commands for unzipping the source file.
You will need to change the filename in the command to match the filename you downloaded.
After the first untar / unpack you will need to get the kernel filename.
Change that filename in the commands as well.
3) When you edit the version info.
Open up the Big-Country_defconfig
It is in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
Open it with G-Edit or whatever text editor you use.
Search for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=
and change it to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
CHANGE
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-your device version"
You can get the version as i showed you in previous post.
4) The rest is all the same.
AS far as the kernel and modules that have been uploaded here, they are for the Metro Pcs Version. ( And Lollipop NOT Marshmallow)
I will build the others later when i finish more of this project.
ALSO YOU CAN USE THIS TUTORIAL TO BUILD THE KERNEL FOR ANY DEVICE.
Things will change here and there but generally speaking all of the steps you need to follow are the same.

TWRP Flashable BootSplash ZIP

Just a simple TWRP Flashable BootSplash Zip for example to replace the warnings when you unlocked/rooted your device.
It will open up_param.bin and repack it with the jpg,s inside the zip.
Simply replace svb_orange.jpg , logo.jpg and booting_warning.jpg with a jpg of your own choice.
Make sure the images don't exceed 500kb, and keep exact same resolution (1440x3040 24bbp)

Any custom recovery and/or firmware for the Sprint S10 5G? I'm willing to try new things on mine.

Thx, my phone bricked.

What works:
- flashing
- USB (including OTG)
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- Sound
- LCD + Touchscreen (with rotation)
- light sensor
- NFC (should work, driver loads, initialize, no NFC device to test)
What doesn't work (yet):
- camera
- 3D support (partial working, es2gears/es2tri/glmark2-es2 run but glxgears crashed)

Install guide for Ubuntu MATE 20.04.1 LTS:
Please check your tablet is grouper or tilapia by command
TWRP (adb shell) $ grep androidboot.baseband=unknown /proc/cmdline && echo grouper || echo tilapia
Checking hardware revision of grouper(E1565 or PM269) <- this is important, because I didn't have any PM269 devices, so I only supported rev. E1565
TWRP (adb shell) $ find /sys/devices/ | grep -c max776 && echo You have E1565
TWRP (adb shell) $ find /sys/devices/ | grep -c tps6591 && echo You have PM269

No, I didn't try Vivaldi armhf. I think chromium version 94 on debian bookworm/sid. It's latest now, edit repositories to bookworm, and just install chromium v94 with some packages depend or not

Thank you very much! It works on my old nexus7,amazing!! After apt upgrade,there not enough space on nexus. my nexus is 8GB.

This is my first time to use a Linux OS , I just try to learn some linux command.
after flashing Ubuntu, I download and flash Fedora. Fedora's bluetooth doesn't work well, connecting is ok, but it doesn't work well with an apple mouse and a keyboard. and there's no web brower inside.
All in all Linux is really cool. thank you!

Ah, well, you're the first report about fedora 34 xfce4. I just port for fun, i didn't know it working out of the box .Archlinux, openSUSE Leap was the same lol
By the way, try some packages to activate bluetooth service and neard service(NFC)
Connecting keyboard and mouse bluetooth, NFC checking:
bluez
bluez-utils
bluez-mgmt
bluez-btmon
bluez-hid2hci
bluez-alsa
neard
Command:
$ sudo bluetoothctl power on
$ sudo bluetoothctl
#<bluetoothctl>: scan on
#<bluetoothctl>: help
NFC:
$ sudo nfctool -d nfc0 -1 -p

- which distro is preferred for speed and stability?

/opt folder in / folder
It's meaning root, change to root by cd ..
or cd /
/opt stayed long time in GNU/Linux rootfs

Yeah. I knew where to look for the opt folder. But, it is not there for me.
