Hi Friends,
I am having Micromax A75, which is MT6573 having Armv6 running on 2.3.6 Android.
As this handset is not supported by Cyanogen, but i want to create a custom ROM for this handset.
I have downloded around 26GB of cyanigen source code repo and 600MB of kernel source.
I have build the kernel successfully. but i dont know what to do next.
1. From where to get running ramdisk? and to pack it with my zImage
2. After Step above, How to port cyanogenmod on my handset.
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
Firstly,apologies if this is not the right section.
We all know that android source code is available.So my question is how can I build the source code and install on any device?For example if I have an old device for which updates are not available.Can we just flash it with any android stock rom?Not talking about custom rom.
Can we take the source from github and just build and flash on our device?Because android is hardware independent? Like we can install ubuntu on any system?
Hi, may I ask somebody experienced with ROM building, if it is possible to build fully functional and stable build from AOSP sources if i have kernel sources for my device from vendor?

Hi, yes. I've compiled lollipop nexus4 from aosp in ubuntu 14.04.1 x64 in vmware.
I've downloaded the source, included the proprietary files, and compiled android, compiled with make and make otapackage to generate the zip.
After that i've rooted the device, installed twrp.
Finally, i've downloaded the source kernel and compiled to generate the .img. I've flashed this to the device with fastboot, and
yeeeeeeh perfect!!!
obviously, after this, i've downloaded the gapps and installed.
But, which version would you compile? And which device? All the sources are available and open source?
i wana make AOSP build for Huawei Ascend G6, I have only kernel sources from vendor... I suppose that kernel will work with any version of android or not?

Ok, you have the sources, very good.
mmm, i'm not sure that every kernel + android combinations work perfectly together.
For example, on my nexus4 i've kernel 3.4 and lollipop. Now, if android lollipop requires some modules/functionalities/"other magic stuff" to work properly from the kernel, and you install kernel 2.x.x without this feature, probably you'll have problems.
I mean, i'm not sure, but is only a logic hypothesis.
You can solve this problem using the latest official version of android from Huawei and your compiled kernel from Huawei sources. If this works, try to update android to another version with a custom rom. It works? Perfect!, It not works? Damn, restore the backup and use another older android version
To build android/kernel you must transform into a researcher :laugh:
Anyone here can u tell me how to create source code of a new device as my device is INFOCUS M680, kernel source.
I have used another device as same board to create source of my device but the kernel source is different. So anyone can tell me how to create kernel source and device tree.
My kernel version is 3.18.19+
U can't "create" kernel sources... If the manufacturer provides the sources, then u can use that and make modifications to it to boot AOSP based roms
Hello
I want to make a custon rom for my device, I have its kernel modified for my requirement, but I don't know how to add it to the aosp before building the OS.
Any help guys ?
