Dev N8013 WIP

I need help from some of you 8000 developers.
Im trying to deodex and zipalign a stock rom for my 8013 in dsixda kitchen.
Im able to deodex and make a rom. i zipalign and convert updater script to edify and sign it.
But it fails from error 0 everytime

Oh man I am like 1-2 days out for my N8013 and will be all over helping out.
Launched from Hot Rod running AOKP JB!!

Sweet ya i got dsixda kitchen working properly and im able to deodex and zipalign and then sign but i get error 0 no matter what i try. .. According to cwm thats related to updater script... I tried the older script version and edify and verified no errors and no go on flashing... Maybe something in the script isnt right for samsung. .. Ie. That kitchen is mainly for htc. .
Id love to put a rom together with you. Your theming is nice on my a500
Also figured id ask the n8000 guys what they are cooking roms with since im having errors
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I would assume that the 8000 and 8013 have the same partitions as far as boot,system and most all that. I would verify the script that the kitchen is making with a know good script for a N8000 ROM. Verify mount points and all that jazz. Would bet there is an error on how the kitchen in building the updater-script.

Thanks for the heads up. Dont have wifi in my new place till tomorrow, trying to dl a 700mb rom over hotspot sucks when im being throttled. .. Will try to compare tonight at my moms. .

dsixda doesn't recognize the N80xx... I can't remember if it has I9300 support, but you need to place the model number as an empty file in one of the directories (forget which one...)
For example, look for GT-I9100... The same directory MIGHT work for N80xx/I9300 as I think the kernel and system partitions are the same, but not sure.

Ya i compared a script from an n8000 rom and the kitchen one was way off....

I think that unless it properly "recognizes" a devices from one of its supported categories, it defaults to assuming an original GalaxyS device...

Moved To Q&A​
Please dont post questions in the dev section​

How is it a question. its a dev wip for 8013 thread. ..

Did you ever figure out how to get the mount points correct? If so, did you correctly get edify_defs set up or manually edit the update script?

Rom with spell checker?

I just got this phone yesterday to discover that the stock rom (rooted) doesn't have the red line show up under a misspelled word. I had this on my evo 4g running cm9 or 10.
Does anyone know of a rom, or roms, that would have this feature.

Or would anyone know of a way to add this feature to the stock ics rom?

never really paid attention to this.
id think this might be a keyboard feature more than a rom feature, no?

I installed LantinIME.apk from a rom I extracted for the evo. The keyboard worked but still no spell checker. Did you happen to notice if any of the roms you've flashed had this feature, preferably an ICS rom?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I also think this is a keyboard feature. Try installing one of the different keyboards from the play store.

I'm using swift 3, no red lines on touchwiz, however my galaxy player 5.0 running cm9 w/swift 3 has it (did not on touchwiz). I assume this is a rom feature.

I have been trying to ilfigure this out for a while. I haven't been able to get it to work with any of the roms. Someone said CM10 might do it but haven't tried.

Edit:
This is a better start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832126 the changes could be diffed from the stock rom

Would you happen to know if that would work with the stock rom (rooted) for Verizon?
I just got the phone and even though I've been doing a ton of reading, I'm still a noob when it comes to the s3. And the last thing I want to do is mess anything up. Atlest with the evo 4g I didn't have to worry about different carriers and what not.

The changes made should work. So basically if you compared the changes of this to their stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825272 and then applied the same changes to our stock rom, it would work. BUT their files as is will not work.
Basically, it would probably take about 15 minutes for someone to do if they knew what they were doing. I however don't have 15 minutes to spend on this so I can't help right now lol.

so what I would do is download their stock deodex and extract the files that are included in the mod.
Then, decompile the .jars and apks that were modded and the stock version
Run winmerge on them to see exactly what they changed
Then make those exact changes to our stock deodex rom. So you will need to decompile 3 sets of files and recompile 1 set.

I got apktool installed and decompiled framework.jar where it creates a folder called smali. The problem is, I can't view any of the contents from within it. If I go to properties it states contents "nothing" yet shows free space as being 66.7 GB. So I know that there's something in there, I'm just not allowed to view the contents. I read somewhere that you need a text editor?
I did all this on a Linux machine (Mint 13.) I'm gonna try it on a windows PC next just to see what happens.
Edit: I found out that by changing .jar to .apk and then decompiling it allowed me to view the contents. Now I'm sitting at trying to open the TextView.smali. lol
Edit 2: for some reason it's not working for the JellyWiz rom. It's still not showing the contents from within the samli folder.

[Q] AOKP Build Errors

Hey All,
I'm trying to build AOKP. After running the command "mka bacon -j5" I am getting the following error.
Code:
build/core/base_rules.mk:133: *** hardware/ril/libril: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libril already defined by device/htc/msm8960-common/libril. Stop.
I've tried navigating to the base_rules.mk file to see if there was anything in there to edit but could not find anything related to hardware/ril/libril. Did a quick search on google and on XDA for the error but not getting any results back. Thanks for the help.

Navigate to hardware/ril. And delete the entire libril file... What are you trying to make 4.1 or 4.2?
Base_rules.mk is not the error its a code.. where it failed is after that.. In your case it says you've go two seperate files trying to make one thing.. You need to get rid of one.. Since msm8960 is for the device your building for you need to off the other one.. That won't be your only error building for an in supported device takes a lot of patience.. Good luck..

I am trying to build 4.2. I basically used the method that klin posted to build Baked, however, tweaked everything for AOKP instead. (used intervigilium's repository instead of klin's, etc.) Should I have gone about it another way. Do you still recommend deleting the hardware/ril folder?

[WIP][PORT] Blade v4.6.0 - Android 4.1.1, Sense 4+

Blade v4.6.0​
This is a ROM port from the HTC EVO One X by theDroidfanatic. You can see the original thread HERE.
As of today, 1-31-2013, this is NOT flashable!!! The updater script is still set up for the One X.
The reason I'm releasing this is because my Shift is down until my new flex cable comes in and I can't test anything so I'm asking for help. So far I've been through the majority of the ROM and I feel confident I've made a good start.
The ROMs I've used for parts are JellyBelly v6: Ultimate Edition and StockMod. I've also referenced Legendary-Infamous, MikRunny, and newRUNNY to see how they're put together as well.
I started by modifying Strapped365's JB Kernel in JellyBelly using this [GUIDE] How to port sense to non-HTC devices. Then using various other guides here on XDA, I've been modifying the port ROM to work on our device. I can put together a change log later after work. Now where I am at with this at the moment is the updater script. I've been through the rest of the ROM and think I have a good start but I haven't done anything in the META-INF folder. I am still reading up on how to write my own updater script but I'm not capable yet so those who want to help, this is my immediate need. In the past I was able to get a sense 4.0 One V port to boot on the Shift using an AOSP updater script but I think it may be necessary to write a new one so this will load right. I am a little unsure about the build.prop edits I've made going from GSM to CDMA so that needs to be double checked.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thank you very much theDroidfanatic for your incredible work and permission to release this.

Change log
2/01/2013:
There is still A LOT of work to be done for this to boot.
Using JellyBelly v6 Ultimate, Changed the kernel using THIS and THIS.
I moved several apks from system/app to data/app to get the system folder down to 423MB
Changed the bootanimation
Changed the system lib modules by adding, overwriting files from base
Changed the system/lib/hw by adding, overwriting files from base
Replaced system/usr/keychars and system/usr/keylayout with system/usr/keychars and system/usr/keylayout from base
Went into system/etc and replaced vold.fstab, /wifi and /ppp with the ones from base
I'm not sure what to do with the Framework folder yet so I left it alone
Edited the build.prop

Also Reserved...

good luck with this, itd be great to see a functioning sense 4+ rom

Sweetness. I'd like to be a tester when you fix the update script.

Ok I've been trying to figure out how to move forward with this and all I can figure is to start fresh using my ego 4g. Fortunately, JellyBelly Ultimate is on the evo already. Thanks bilgeryan. If I can get it to work that way, surely we can port it to the shift. If any one wants to digin and do whatever your creativity leads you to do then by all means do it. I'd like this to be a community effort as much as possible. Especially "sense" I'm not a dev. There's A LOT I don't know.

[Q] Herc JB Rom on I727 autorotate issue

Same issue as ICS. Running the Herc t989 rom on the i727. I've tried replacing files and I still cant get it to work (replaced the matching file names from the ICS fix).
The autorotate fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592170&highlight=rotation+fix fixed me on ICS. Reading his post again, it sounds like a fix that is more than just a driver change. Anyone have a solution? I tried the search and a flood of nothing for Jellybean.

Also copy over sensor libs and hardware.so and hardware_legacy.so. It works fine that way. I just pull them from our CM10.1.

You rock, I'll try that tonight. I tried pulling from the stock i727 image and it didnt work. Totally didnt think about pulling the drivers from CM10

Tried copying sensorservice libakm and libsensorservice. (used the latest snapshot). Booted to the samsung screen and hangs.
Replaced the files back and it boots.
I re-read your post and forgot to copy libhardware.so. I'll try that again including the libhardware.so and update later.

Which sensor libs should I pull? I pulled the hardware legacy and hardware.so and the sensor.default.so from /hw still sticks at loading screen.

lib/hw/sensors.default.so and sensor.goldfish.so
EDIT: Are you packaging one of our kernels with it? If not that's your issue.

That is probably it.
This is out of curiosity, with 4.0.4 I did not have to flash the matching kernel. (I was running t989 with the t989 kernel with the mod installed). I would think the kernel is just calling the modules... is that not a correct assumption?

Work has kept me from finishing up. So far I replaced all the files from the original mod and the hardware and legacy modules and autorotate still doesnt work.
In the old day the final piece always was flash another kernel, up until I did the mod I originally posted. It didnt require a kernel flash. I'm really trying to figure out the secret to why there is the disconnect between flashing vs not flashing the kernel.
BTW: It makes sense to flash the kernel as well, so no dispute there. I'll download the stock JB Kernel for the 727 and try it to see. I'm just worried about my wificalling. It has a few modules that are loaded in the 989 kernel if I recall correctly.
