Hey
Id like to (also as a learning expirence) to make my own ROM completely from ASOP.
Is there a simple guide or something similar? Ive read the Android source code site but its a bit to "stretched out". A noob guide would be nice.
Thanks.

A standard link would have been nice....
http://howto.ccroms.net/
The problem with this guide is that its based on a specific device. A global generic one would be nice.
Thanks for the link anyways.

There are guides on CM website but you have to modify it for the pyramid. Im looking at it now but I think there are some things still marked as private therefore we cant get them yet and cant get a complete build of it yet.

well then how would i go about doing this building directly from the AOSP source? im syncing the repo for that right now.. what else would i need to do to build towards our device?
AOSP doesn't even have support for 7x30, let alone 8x60. A lot of stuff goes into CM that users can't see in order to make the devices compatible.
Ok, so ICS has been publicly released, just wondering if anyone knows if any devs are planning on using it in a rom soon?
Also if any dev reads this, I have two Inspires, and if you need a tester I would be your man for any ICS project.

We already have threads on this subject. Please re-search and you will find them.
I got your 10 char right here

OK well sense you didn't want to search let me drop a little knowledge on you. With ICS android will no longer be able to run on any device as is. It will need proprietary drivers for the device from the OEM or open source replacement drivers that have been modded to work for each device. So it is this simple. We wait for a device to get ICS so we can get working HTC drivers. (Hope the device is close to the inspire or it won't work) or we wait for open source drivers. The soonest we will see an ICS rom will be in about 2 months when CM plans to release its first ICS roms.
Please search before opening a new thread.

Could someone start posting MIUI to the GTab2 7"? Or if no one wants to, can someone tell me everything I would need and where to start to learn how to port and compile ROMs so that I can start attempting this stuff?
yey me too!

There is still any dev for janice? :silly:
As some of u know, Google is going to release Android Go based on 8.0/8.1 which should work fine on 0,5GB devices, maybe second life for janice?
Official site
I think Janice still have some devs on, there was someone working on a 7.1 ROM, maybe we can have hope

8.0 first , then you can dream more :cyclops::cyclops:

Go is 8.0 based so idk if it's any sense to build Oreo when we know that it won't be stable xD
A Bad Guy said:
I thought it is 8.1 , isnt it ?

Probably yes, 8.0/8.1 are same OS with small differences

I didn't think you had a S Advance too.
A Bad Guy said:
I had one before , around 2012-2013. At that time there is less rom to use

Too bad, I'm looking for an active dev, but they continue to say they need the device...
so now I'm looking for someone who does have it but doesn't use it.

This device chip is absolutely same ( and brother phone ) to ace 2 . I suggest you to give the device to ace 2 (chrome) dev...

It's still my primary phone, so I can't.
But I'm available to make a small donation of 10 euro.
Unfortunately I don't think it's enough, so I invite anyone to post here if you agree with this idea (or the idea to give your S Advance).

I used it just around 2012-2013 , why dont i use it now ?
It was sold in 2014
I just participate in this thread as old user

I understand, don't worry. :good:
I am disposed to take part in the collect, considering how much as now an s advance costs, wouldn't be so hard to get quickly the money and with very little effort for all.
I think that is a good idea and can really give a new life to our device.
Obviously a spare s advance of a willing and generous user would be the best thing we can hope in, but seems really hard to happen, however, my hope isn't died yet
Maybe on weekend i'll look into what changes are needed to run atleast nougat on it (from source), if this'll work then we'll think about Oreo xD

If you're really interested, I'd suggest to look at the Oreo rom of Chrono:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3678722
and to look at the Chrono Kernel (compatible with janice but with some bugs):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tom-kernel-t2793420/post74179403#post74179403
Ace II has the same chip of S Advance (with some code differences) and the dev is very helpful to explain how it works.
Two guys in the same project would be better than one guy on a single project.
As far as I know @sm_adil doesn't reply to any PM and Epirex is busy on his Moto phone.

Yes I agree two or more dev contributing to the same project will be good!!
However if you consider me as fully fledged dev you're wrong I'm more of web developer than android or java. I did build couple of kernel's for testing my skills but than again they were not so stable and I didn't had time to debug it!!
So yeah if get the time I do want to build a ROM for Janice :fingers-crossed:
I've got a Janice right here that I don't use. I'm actually looking right now for a way to root it and install whatever superior than the Gingerbread ROM it currently has, but the point is that it's available for testing purposes. Btw, is it possible to leave a phone number here?

@Cambapo
I've just sent you a PM, we can discuss there all the shipping details.
EDIT:
Please let us know as soon as possible.

Hi Isaak,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance. I have been looking if anyone developing Android Go support for it. Found your post on the thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/android-t3714953/page2
I want to learn how roms are built and I would like to support in developing Android Go rom for S Advance, if possible. Can you please guide me where I can start?
As per my experience, I have built a modified linux kernel with some modified device drivers and was able to boot it with a debian root filesystem on Freescale SabreLite board. But never built an android rom earlier.
Thanks
Srinivas

You could start from one of these tutorials:
https://nathanpfry.com/category/android/
I'm not good at compiling, I tried it and didn't like it. So I can't help you more than that.
For this reason, with the help of some xda users, I have donated a S Advance to @ChronoMonochrome.
Currently he's actively developing a new kernel and a new rom in this section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/development
I think we could expect more roms with higher android versions, so your feedback is important.
