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

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...

Most likely because I was trying to patch the stock 64 bit. But you have the CM, RaptorROM that are more vanilla like. If you are lucky you should be getting less rejects then me. :highfive:

That was really not all that great of an instruction on how to get started with rom building because for 1 unless you have a really super fast computer trying to do that in a VMWARE is going to take forever because the first compile and build takes hours upon hours I'm not kidding when I said you needed to download the entire CyanogenMod or AOSP source code and apparently from all the changes people have made its up over 13GB which is huge mind you the first build is going to give quite a few errors which you'll need to fix by going into your github and making changes to the specific file that needs changing and then repo sync or just change it on your local computer first then push it to github.. You did fork the device tree to your own github right? Then you have to download the device tree source to your local pc in order to even begin building anything. They also need to be in the correct spot by the way or the build is gonna throw an error that it can't find / or so and so doesn't exist.. By the way the 3 device tree files you're gonna need are "Device, Vendor and Kernel.."..

Yes, everything you said is correct. I was only giving him a starting point. I know that porting, in this case patching, is a lot more easier than building, if done properly. If he wants to build and to learn a lot of stuff I personally advice him to follow your advice.
But in the end it's up to him. At least now he has two starting points. :highfive:

That's true, 2 starting points is better than none.. I don't necessarily like "patching" others work because you never really know how they made it or if it has problems which is why I just start from scratch.

Yes starting from scratch was initially what i wanted but i looked around on XDA university for a week and that helped get me to learn about setting up Vm, installing android sdk through terminal ETC and repo init repo sync, downloading repositories and other source codes.....BUT my thing is wanting to learn how patch errors and need more on hands experience for setting up build environment

Huawei P9 Lite devs

Good day lads,
Disclaimer:
Code:
I don't know if you noticed a thread in the Q&A section that was closed by Matt. While I respect Matt's decision to close it, I find it a very relevant topic... The future of LineageOS for the P9 Lite. Please note that I do respect meticulous' wishes to charge for his work because I know how time consuming it is I wish to firmly express that I do not condone this mentality when it comes to Linux based operating systems.
I decided to make this thread with my little Dev knowledge in order to attract more devs who's willing to put in work on a stable device tree for free in spirit of community and for all to enjoy.
I do not have the Lineage source code at the moment but I will start downloading soon, I do know that I will need help and I encourage more devs/beginners to lend a hand for the benefit of us all.
Please, to begin, post links to relevant tarballs/links/downloads for development purposes, device tree and kernels, anything you've worked on so perhaps we can all work together.
Cheers

Hmmm... The fact that building android ROMs is time consuming is not a good enough reason to request money for OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Yes, LineageOS and android in general are open source, so that's an infraction.
About the collective effort, that's a good idea, but there are no sources from Huawei right now. You need to wait for the Nougat sources if Huawei really gives a dime about releasing them. From that point, it is easier to develop and get stuff working. Until then, good luck working without sources and experimenting stuff. Not to mention that there's no official TWRP as well, and TWRPs posted here on XDA for our devices have specific requirements to get them flashed on your device.

Why do you need to come here with negativity? I don't support meticulous but he can do what he wants with the device sources he took the time to build, heck, he doesn't need to release those sources so I don't know what you're talking about, firstly. Secondly, a device tree can be built, Q.E.D we as a community can work on it together, if they release it we'll just have it much easier.
Note also; I've asked for relevant input and help from the community.
Thanks for your time though.
EDIT: P.S Professional Flasher, have you ever built a ROM before? Because that's my target here, finding people who knows how to fix error and put the tree together

This disussions are undesired here. I know a board where you can discuss that. If you want, feel free to have a look at it. This little Board is very pleased about every enlivenment. Opened a thread over there.

Well, developers do not grow on trees. I guess there are not enough devs here who have the P9 Lite device.
However I like the intention of the thread author. For that reason please try to discuss in a human way.
In the end: I am vers interested in learning how to build custom roms but I can't find a way how to learn it. Does anyone have some good advice?

Updated kernel
Hello everyone, I've recently been working on updating the Honor 5c kernel to 3.10.105 and so far it seems to be working fine on my P9lite, LineageOS 14.1. It's based purely on stock, with one or two commits borrowed from Meticulus' kernel repo, so it compiles without errors.
Since this is a new account, I can't link my repo directly, you can find it on my github profile, Avsky.
I'll be making my own additions to master branch, while stocklike branch will contain only fixes and kernel updates.
If somebody would like to test them, you can get the boot image from releases tab on github. Stock kernel hasn't been tested, mind you, always keep a backup!
Also depending on how much time I have, I might get started on bringing OmniROM to our device (I'm really missing it). I'm just a college student though, so it might never see the light of day, any help is much appreciated.

Glad to hear it! Your images seem to be using uncompressed zImages, while in stock ROMs they're gzipped, seems like unintentional change somewhere in your build process.

Yeah you're right. I just checked it and I am copying Image instead of Image.gz. Seems like it's only a 'cosmetic' issue because it runs anyways.

Great news guys, my sources now compile with latest Linaro toolchain. The kernel actually barely needed any fixes, but I'm not releasing anything prebuilt yet, since I have no idea what impact on stability my hacks might have.

Perhaps reading through GitHub commits, checking the code and see whether or not you're really interested. If you're using a Linux distribution which I strongly advise, learn bash scripts first - it's easy and self explanatory and from there you will get basics of directories and calling up files.
Goodluck

honestly edit the respitory because so far they dont work i have made few files but keep in mind i literally borrowed them all from the perseus device tree since our device is pretty much identical apart from battery, if you do wanna make changes please know what your doing because i have no clue lol , and hopefully we can get this to boot ONLY edit files in the lineage path because the other paths need to be untouched okay thank you

Sorry guys I can't lie I think it's a complete mess I will be building a device tree for this device I just need A LOT of time and then I will try building some ROMs for this device reason why it will take so long is because I am learning myself and this will be the first time I am doing it hope it goes successfully for me

Hi guys! I've being making ROMs for the original Mi Mix and decided to take the plunge and get a Mix 3 5G. I've built up these skeleton trees and made LineageOS, but I haven't received my new device yet so I can't test it. It's horribly unoptimised and still has a lot of bloat from unnecessary drivers (hence the 1gb size) and I have no idea if this will even boot but here is the initial build if anyone is brave enough to install it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WOsXzgpdA8qTP6QWHi1gNW131dqgdDIC
This is an engineering build to help track down bugs so ADB debugging is enabled as standard. Any logs would be appreciated.

This is an engineering build to help track down bugs so ADB debugging is enabled as standard. Any logs would be appreciated.

I didn't realise that I didn't have link sharing on, should be ok to download now. I haven't uploaded my tree to GitHub yet, but once I do it will be available at https://github.com/Inkypen79/device_xiaomi_andromeda

Don't get too excited yet lol. This LineageOS build is pie, once I know that's stable then I can move to ten. I brought up the original Mi Mix to ten so I have an idea of what's required.

Lmao I realized when it said 16.0 aha that's fine tho still a lot more progress than me

I keep getting this error when trying to flash...the suggestion was to update twrp but 3.3.1-0 is the only one we have available ....
E: String resource 'zip_compatible_err' not found.
Using default value
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Any suggestions?

i think its my fault lemme just factory reset my phone install stock and see what happens. Yep our twrp is broken as after install it bricks whole device , and I know this isn't from the ROM because basically twrp bricked my phone from reloading to fastboot, it's very broken , but no one has been able to test that out because there hasn't been much to flash recently. Therefore @Inkypen will build some twrps for me to try and flash and see if his builds do work , fingers crossed they will

Sure there's a group chat where more info is posted there...updates etc https://t.me/mimix3_5G

I also have a mi mix 3 5g on the way, will be happy to test once i get it, thx alot for you work!

So far I have built a working version of Orange Fox recovery. Still waiting for my device to arrive, then some real work can start
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261670861

I should be getting my Mix 3 5G this week, the parcel is allegedly with my local post office already. I'd love to help out to get LineageOS working on it. I have minimum experience having flashed custom ROMs onto my current phone (Mi Max helium) as well as that of my Mrs (Mi 6 sagit), but I'd love to get more involved if possible. I don't need it to be my daily driver immediately, so I just need enough confidence in what we'll be doing here so as not to turn it into an expensive, cute brick The chassis being ceramic, it's already half way there right off the bat, but let's not get any closer please

Please generate LineageOS android 10 from Mi Mix Andromeda

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.

Interesting... is it just me or is there no button to start an inquiry?
EDIT: Found it... just posted an Inquiry.

Watching!! I just bought the T500.

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.

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