[Q] Wich files to edit when porting from TITAN to THEA

Hello XDA,
As all of you may know there is a 4G LTE version of the Moto G 2nd Generation, better known under the model number XT1072 and XT1079. Unfortunately almost all ROMs are created for the titan. While the titan ROMs boot just fine because of the almost exact HW, when installing those ROMS we don't get 4G and the speakers and earpeace, especially while calling, get unusable.
So instead of sitting on my butt and asking LUK to develop a 4G patch, can anyone guide me ? I know how to setup the SDK and know the theory about compiling from source but have never done it. Do we have to recompile something or can I just replace certain files with some other files from the (one and only) CM12.1 port for the THEA ?
This must be doable I think.

It's easy but I'm not going to help in dirty ports. Build roms from source instead, this is my recommendation.
If you want to learn how to build roms from source I can help you but you'll need to have Linux machine to do that.

Thanks for the reply Luk, I also think that building from source is the same. I have followed many, many guides but somehow the part where I have to point to the thea specific HW blobs fails. The extract-files.sh points to ./../../$VENDOR/msm8226-common/setup-makefiles.sh [email protected] wich I understand is the motorola folder in the WORKING_DIRECTORY. Somehow I can't find the right repo on github to point it at.
Sorry for the noobish Q... There is a first time for everything.
EDIT: I wanted to say that I think that porting from source is better, not the same.

I was really confused and got the CM12 branch instead the first time. Lol now I feel like a noob haha (wich I am when it comes to developing).
Will post here if I have any Questions/errors (that google can't help me with).

Oh okay, I will look into that in a minute.
Now I got an issue that really got my head hurting... When I do the lunch command, my Moto G isn't in the list of devices... What Am I doing wrong ?
I have got a directory called thea in WORKING_DIRECTORY/device/moto/thea
I have got also an old thea directory (cm12.1) in WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea and WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea2
All the blobs from TheMuppits repo are in de device/moto/thea dir
All the poperiatary blobs are also in the XT907 dir...
I've done the
Code:
cd /device/moto/thea
init android-5.1.1_rx
repo sync
and let it finish without errors.
Once I get over this I will be good to go.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the knowledge !

If you're building CM then all you have to do is to get vendor, do envsetup.sh and just brunch thea.

I'm trying to build an AOSP build like yours to learn. I'm following this guide:

I guess it is similar in steps as what you described ?
Even with all the files in the correct directories when I exec the lunch command it doesn't list the moto G. See screenshot.

Building straight AOSP isn't worth time. Bringing up the RIL and even getting it to boot would be bit painful.
On the other side there's CM which is based on AOSP+CAF and it's much easier to work on.
BTW drop me mail so we can talk more.

Aren't all MSM8939 (Snapdragon 615/616) and MSM8916 (Snapdragon 410) almost generic devices? So in theory you can get a ROM from a different device to boot but not all sensors/components will work, particularly the camera, which supposedly has laser autofocus. The ZE500KL has almost the same specs as the Android One G2 phones (Snapdragon 410 with 5" screen) being sold in various countries. Maybe that's why the bootloader is still locked? Asus doesn't want users flashing ROMs from other devices.

Now that we have an (unofficial) unlock method, there's a chance... While I'm still here, I'm trying to compile cm12.1 for this device, but I keep running into problems.

i can't ensure unofficial unlock method is really work, or just skip signature validation.
if you still work on, it's good.
please note, LuK1337 had tried to build cm13 , and it still can't boot on ZE500KL.
you can check his repo on github.

What is the reason behind ASUS not releasing Bootloader Unlocker for this particular device? It seems strange with Zf 5 & 6 and almost all variants of Zf2 having Official Bootloader Unlocker tool this one having no Official BL Unlocker Tool. Any specific reason that anyone knows?

I checked the github repos. From what I see, it's supposed to be a 64 bit build, right? If the 64 bit build does not boot, it might be worth the try to make a 32 bit build.

cm Bootable source (request)

Before this is flagged as duplicate thread. Or a simple link to the source code of raymanfx source code. Or even the s6 edge plus port.
If I compile just using source code. It doesn't boot, I've tried all I have that I'm limited at.. some driver error Possibly narrowed it down to it being the defconfig.
Need the missing elf file and a working defconfig. (I am trying to fix some bugs until a more suited release is made..
Thank you

Trying to build Halium for tab 2

So I'm trying to get halium working for tab 2 (we can get ubuntu touch and maybe even plasma mobile with help of it) and I get this error
Code:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.o: In function `merge_fdt_bootargs':
atags_to_fdt.c:(.text+0x20c): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
atags_to_fdt.c:(.text+0x210): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
It seems to be a toolchain error any help?

"It would appear that the -mstack-protector-guard option is only for backwards compatibility with how the stack protector worked in the past. In the past the canary was in a global variable. Later it was switched to TLS. It would appear that the operating system / libc you use either removed or never had support for the global variable canary, so only TLS works.
Don't touch the -mstack-protector-guard option and everything should work. The default should be fine when you use -fstack-protector-all."
"Provide __stack_chk_guard with a random value in c file, avoid using regular values like all zero's or FF's because the stack can easily get these values during any memory operation. Wiki on providing magic number implementation. This __stack_chk_guard will be placed at the top and bottom of the stack, which will be checked during every stack access. Any change in the value implies a corrupted stack and returns with error providing the stack protection.
unsigned long __stack_chk_guard;
void __stack_chk_guard_setup(void)
{
__stack_chk_guard = 0xBAAAAAAD;//provide some magic numbers
}
void __stack_chk_fail(void)
{
/* Error message */
}// will be called when guard variable is corrupted "
"There are two ways to remove this error: 1. From the compiler option disable(comment out) the "stack guard".
Define __stack_chk_guard in you c file.
When you define __stack_chk_guard make sure you provide random value to it. For providing random value you need to pass as an argument to the random function.
For any further detail you can refer to the compiler manual."
"For those that get this error in bare metal software development with a custom linker script, make sure to pass the option -nostdlib option:
gcc -nostdlib
since Ubuntu 16.04 for example enables the stack protection by default on the compiler. man gcc says:
NOTE: In Ubuntu 14.10 and later versions, -fstack-protector-strong is enabled by default for C, C++, ObjC, ObjC++, if none of -fno-stack-protector, -nostdlib, nor -ffreestanding are found.
-fno-stack-protector also solved it for me, but you should likely tell your poor compiler that you are doing baremetal stuff to prevent other such problems.
I'm guessing this is because the feature relies on symbols which are normally defined if a linker script is not given? But TODO I found no mention of those symbols by dumping the default linker script with:
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wl,-verbose main.c
so I'm not sure.
I grepped GCC 6.4.0 source code and it suggests that the symbol comes from libgcc2.c at gcc/doc/tm.texi:
The default version of this hook creates a variable called @samp{__stack_chk_guard}, which is normally defined in @file{libgcc2.c}."

So it means even if I install it, it can't be operated. Why some things are way too difficult for tab 2 ?? I mean miui7, sfos, treble, Oreo and now haloum are ported to other devices too that are mostly similar to ours but running them on tab 2 is a bit more difficult.

Haha I think Pulsar was referring to Xiaomi's github page where there would be like 10 posts a day asking for Spes kernel

tap2wake also works on PixelExperience, FWIW.
EDIT: board_id.h is present in the same directory, not in include/. \
I've tried compiling the kernel from Xiaomi's sources and stumbled across an error about a missing header file:
Code:
drivers/misc/st21nfc.c:43:22: fatal error: board_id.h: No such file or directory
#include <board_id.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:338: drivers/misc/st21nfc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:642: drivers/misc] Error 2
This file board_id.h does not exist in the include/ folder. Perhaps Xiaomi uploaded incomplete sources?

yes

Much easier to compile this kernel using Clang rather than GCC. Still getting used to it, it's been a good while since my last kernel compile, haha.
Does anyone know how to build a new boot image by hand? I have a working boot.img for PixelExperience and I'd like to replace the kernel with one that I built for testing, but I'm not sure if I should still use mkbootimg like with older Android devices as this is the first time I'll be dealing with a device that uses dtb/dtbo files. Any insights would be welcome.

Not an expert here. What exactly are the benefits of this? What does it mean for custom ROM development?

For one, it is theoretically easier to keep the device up to date without having to wait for Xiaomi's updates. Some changes that come with Android's monthly security patches are made to the kernel, for example, and having the kernel source code means we can apply those patches faster than if we were to wait for updated kernel builds from Xiaomi.
Some ROMs like LineageOS also require kernels to be built from source (i.e., not prebuilt) for a device to be granted official status.

Hello,
Can someone guide me on how to install that kernel on redmi note 11 (Pixel Experience custom os)
Already installed twrp 3.7.0 but gives me some errors all the time like Invalid zip file format!.
I download it as zip from github and put it in twrp folder and install it from there.
Thanks in advance

There's nothing to flash here. Only the link to the kernel source. There's still some work to do for a flashable kernel (compiling eg). Also there are drivers missing in the source it seems. What you tried was flashing the uncompiled kernel source package i guess and that.. doesn't work

Oh ok,I though it was finished already.
