...you can build your own rom, but maybe is better leave it on Skrilax_CZ

ok so i went as far as downloading the JB source from AOSP
i have everything installed needed for the build
whats next? cause when i try to issue:
lunch full_asanti_c-userdebug
i get the following error:
build/core/product_config.mk:205: *** No matches for product "full_asanti_c". Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'full_asanti_c'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

It has to be properly ported to Photon Q first.

how?

what are the steps to do that?

That's very specific for each platform - by simply making each feature working. You can use my CM10 device / vendor repos as a base.

I believe Cyanogenmod has an article in their wiki explaining how to build for a "new" device.. Even for a device that is already in the "lunch combo" you will still run into make errors without the right GCC compiler, kernel source, and proprietary files....
EDIT: Then once you get it to compile you also gotta create a "signed zip" with some more vodo... :/

MTK6575 Based Devices Cyanogenmod

Hi Guys I Want Someone Who Can Help Me To Build CM For MTK6575 .
I Have LG Optimus L4 II E440 Its MTK6575 Based Device And I Have Source Code .
I Think It Will Work On Other Devices .
Even if you have the source code for that device, you can't just build generically for anything with that processor as even if just one part of the device is changes that part would probably cease to function. Also when it comes to building something like that I'll see what I can do once I have a fully functional computer but the source is like 40 GB so it would be a big investment already just to download it. Which version of cm?

I Think CM 10.1/10.2 Or CM 11 !
I Have Installed Lubuntu 12.04 And I Will Start Programing From There But I Dont Know From Where I Can Download The CM Build !

I made some 1.5 based rom at one point for my g1 but I remember like...none of it. Once you read up on building android you should be fine. I'll just warn you you will be working with BIG data, probably around 40gb to download.

[DEV] Porting kernel 3.10.x to d2 for Lollipop

As we know, Android Lollipop is being released soon, and it requires a kernel that is 3.10.y, which is not available for our device. I'm not great with kernels and would in no way consider myself a kernel developer, but I have applied the neccessary patches to get the kernel version up to 3.10.0, which can be found here https://github.com/frap129/android_kernel_samsung_d2. Because I'm not a kernel developer, I am looking for some help in at least getting this kernel somewhat ready before the release of 5.0, so we can all get the latest update ASAP. Any and all help is apreciated!
Does your kernel compile and boot on cm11? If it does, there shouldn't be much problems in getting it working on L.
Any news? Does it compile?

nope android 5.0 doesnt require new kernel, you could build it on 3.0.y like i am doing on my Note 2 oh and as far as i know new nexus devices are still on 3.4.y

yes, but the new Samsung tablets (at least) are being shipped with the 3.10.x kernels.. 'course they're still running kitkat at the moment, but definitely cannot wait to see if/when they get kit kat.
I'll have to report back later after I take pictures of the 'about phone' page lol [if you want proof anyway]

I know samsung does things like that (i have few other devices from them) but hey thats samsung and they are lazy so they dont want to update kernel version after device is relesed so they do this not to feel outdated on softwere side
Whoops! I read somewhere that the newly expanded SELinux permissions had some dependency on the 3.10.y kernel. Oh well, I guess Ill just test it anyways so I can brag that I have a newer kernel than anyone else if it works

That would definitely be awesome! Be sure to report back your results. I'm not an experienced ROM or kernel developer, but I'll be attempting on bringing a pure AOSP 5.0.0_r2 to my GS3. I'm not sure how successful I'll be, but my first step involved me planning on copying over our vendor repo from CM's M11 or M12 release (whenever that gets out) and trying to build Lollipop against it.

I'm very new to the AOSP build process and didn't have much luck last night getting the CM device sources to play nicely with AOSP. I'm finding it difficult to find any relevant guides on porting over the CM device trees to pure AOSP. If you or anyone else can help by explaining the process or pointing to a guide that I may have missed, I'd be grateful. Plus the more people we have collaborating on his, the better our chances of getting Lollipop on our devices.
I'm working on porting 5.0 to our phone, tweaked the device tree and got the build running but (as expected) i'm running into SEpolicy hell. The new selinux implementation in lollipop is proving to be trouble. I've just made a few more edits and the build is moving along, I'll post results shortly.
If anyone cares to help I'll walk you through what I've done so far. One thing to note is you need to adjust vendorsetup.sh to say full_d2lte-eng instead of cm_d2lte-eng and create AndroidProducts.mk that points at full_d2lte.mk (you can use the hammerhead device tree as a reference to do this)
That will get your device tree to regester properly. If you don't do the above you'll get a "no config makefile found" error when you try to select d2lte with lunch.
As far as the actual tree, you're gonna wanna grab device/samsung/d2lte, device/samsung/msm8960-common, vendor/samsung/d2lte, vendor/samsung/msm8960-common, vendor/cm, vendor/cyngn, and kernel/d2.
You'll also need a couple things from /hardware, namely hardware/samsung. There's a couple things you'll need to remove from msm8960-common in /device, I can't remember the specific file name but the error message will tell you.
Follow those instructions and you'll get where I'm at, with the build crapping out on SEpolicy

Wow, this is awesome. It sounds like you've gotten the furthest than any of us. I appreciate the instructions, but is there any chance you could push your repos to GitHub? And do you think the SELinux stuff you're running into has anything to do with our device being on the 3.4 kernel instead of 3.10?

It's not a kernel thing so much as a device tree thing. (Kitkat vs lollipop) the policy.conf (along with a few other things) in the device tree is designed for kitkat and isn't playing very nice with the 5.0 source. I'm trying to bang it out a bit by swapping a few C and header files in the build core.
As for my last build, my tweaks got me past where I was but now I'm hanging on a new set of SElinux errors.
I've been at this for less than 12 hours so given that timeframe this looks promising.
I'm trying to think of what the best way to go about this is. I could either try to adapt the tree for the new source or I could try to adapt the source for the old tree (use KitKat SElinux implementation on lollipop). The latter would have more success with root but the former is the correct way to do it (and would get us cyanogenmod 12 faster once they start nightlies, as I can push the changes to gerrit)

Again, any chance you can post your source? You don't have to try and work on it on your own. The more people that look at the progressions you made, the better our chances are at success.

Cyanogen is updating sources to lolipop right now and omni has semi working source so it will be easier to port 5.0 since we wont need to edit device tree that much

Yes but, they have a tentative deadline of dec. 1st to start pushing out the first nightlies. We likely won't be in the first wave either, since d2 is now 3 generations out of date.
I'd much rather just port aosp and have it in 2 weeks rather than wait 3 weeks to even begin work.
Side note. If/when I get this working I'm calling it PotatOS
Managed to work past my problem with SElinux for now, the build has now moved on to... another set of errors!

I'm with you on that, I'd rather have pure AOSP than buggy CM nightlies. Also interesting choice of ROM name lol. Thanks for your hard work and I'm looking forward to pulling down your repos so I can take a stab at these compile-time issues.

[ROM][11-17-2014][5.0] Unofficial CM12 Builds

First off, I just want to say I don't mean to step on anyone's toes. Thanks for all the work so far from digitalhigh, bracketslash, santod040 and everyone who has posted information about or commits to the CM12 build tree. This is not my code, all I have done is disable enough stuff to get it to build and boot. A LOT OF STUFF IS BROKEN. This is intended for developers only right now. I will try to update the builds as I can but please don't expect true nightly builds.
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way responsible for malfunctioning or bricked devices if you run this software. If you do not agree to these terms, DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Again, this is seriously broken right now.
What doesn't work:
-Almost everything
What works:
-Wifi
-Touchscreen
-Sound
Changelog:
Merged (compare to build date)
Open (not in build yet)
Installation notes:
As I have yet to find a way to easily disable NFC for the builds, you will have to remove the /system/app/Nfc to stop those force closes. I just went to TWRP, mounted system, then ran "rm -rf /system/app/Nfc" to disable NFC for now.

Thanks for info. I'll probably just wait on that one to get merged as so much is broken already. I doubt selinux will be the cause of frustration right now Also for anyone interested I made the following modifications to the cm12.0 branch to get this to build:
1) Created local_manifest.xml with muppeteers 12.0 branch
2) Commented out DotCase line in device/htc/m8/device.mk (has issues building)
3) Commented out ro.cwm.forbid_mount and ro.cwm.forbid_format lines in device/htc/m8/system.prop (too long)
4) Added missing overlay resources to main resources (copy the missing variables from build/overlay/frameworks/blah.xml to frameworks/blah.xml)
Ive been patiently waiting for cm12 on this beast

While I agree it may not get as much attention, I still think this is the proper place. Android development (not m8 android development) is more for universal android projects or new code bases or ROMs for devices that don't have their own sub forum. That being said, this is a build of already existing code so it should go into a "development" section and given that I only plan to get this working on Verizon variant (as that's what I have) I avoided posting to the generic m8 sub forum. Mods can move as they feel fit but I think it belongs here Feel free to repost any info I have here though.
I'm trying to build and I'm getting stuck on the proprietary binaries.
Specifically this:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/htc/m8/proprietary/bin/adsprpcd', needed by `/home/build/cm12/out/target/product/m8/system/bin/adsprpcd'. Stop.
Any advice?

Just make sure your local_manifest.xml file has the 12.0 muppeteers branch as shown in example on page 6 of that thread.

Hi compile ROM cm11 for a different device
Could you tell me which Java version are you using to build cm12, since you have just built cm12?
I tried to built cm12 yesterday and I got an error for Java so I installed OpenJDK7 and the it started building but I am getting a lot of non-device related error saying "internal compilation error"
I even tried removing all java version and re-installing OpenJDK7. Set alterantives too but no luck.
So please could you let me know which Java Version are you using for building cm12?
OpenJDK7 or Oracle/sun 7
Thanks

Where to start to build a new custom ROM?

Hi. I've always been curious to try to build a new aosp based ROM.
I know java but I don't know CPP... Only a bit. Anybody thinks I could start something? Even in a team, of course. Where to start?

First of all, it depends on how much you already know.
There are numerous guides on how to build another existing custom ROM. I'd start with those first to be a little familiar with how a project is handled, but you could always just look for guides for building one from scratch AOSP if you wanted to.
There are plenty of guides on the internet, and if you run into an issue, someone else has likely already asked about it and received an answer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd also be interested in learning how to manage/develop a custom rom. Let's get Team n00b started up
I´m bumping this topic though the last answer is over one month ago
Creating, managing a Custom ROM of any kind is very time consuming and some people will always expect you to release updates as fast as possible and to work for free Even if you´ve set up your developing environment ( I use Linux ), you will need a lot of patience and a hell of a PC to compile stuff without waiting too long.
If I were you I would think twice if I want to a) build a ROM for yourself only or b) also go through the pain of maintaining a thread, webspace and online support.
The Nexus forums are crowded with AOSP based ROMs and I don´t think that one thread more or less would matter. What I build for myself simply needs to be reliable without 1000x different Mods or Themes.
Since I barely have any time for this hobby anymore, I stick to a) only and even by doing so, I will also waste a lot of time since sometimes there are unforeseen consequences
Yes. That's what I ended too. It would take too much time and resources. I just stopped thinking about that (because my linux pc is very old, too) and used a good ROM.
Thanks!
Quick question
I'm trying to build M developer preview from AOSP. I'm currently syncing the repo with the command:
Code:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest.git -b android-m-preview
After this is synced I will add my device to the appropriate folder with the code:
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/hammerhead.git -b android-m-preview hammerhead
After this will I be able to compile and build?
Am I on the right track?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can just add the device specific code on the manifest (by modifying .repo/manifest/default.xml)

I didn't add my device on the manifest. I followed another guide specifically for my phone and AOSP.
Now, I'm stuck at this:
Code:
Header: out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//loc_log.h
make: *** No rule to make target `hardware/qcom/gps/utils/log_util.h', needed by `out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//log_util.h'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Header: out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//loc_cfg.h
I used the Preview binaries from Google.
Does this mean the latest blobs do not compile for M?
Edit: Found my answer here

Good news I have a working Linage OS 13 build for the lg stylo 2 Plus GSM. Thought it was bug free still has some issues though . My PC took a dump I have the sources saved on my hard drive I will have a new PC on Feb 6 and will release the Rom For Free probably with in a few days from then. As I'm almost done porting a working lineage OS 14 for the device.
I will update the device tree on Github So I can get help from other devs to trouble shoot these issues better and collaborate works. I will also include a working recovery with the Rom for free . I am doing this in my free time so please be patient .
I will keep you posted ?
Any people interested in helping let me know.

Not at the moment I had the backlight on my display burn out . had to flash the stock rom back for warranty purposes and for some reason every time I try and back up via twrp the data gets corrupted.
So the only place I have a working Rom is stored on a hard drive and I get my PC back on the 6th this month so it will be up soon.

Got the new laptop up and running building starts tommorrow.
All souces are downloaded . I will start building the device tree tonight hopefully by end of week myself and @messi2050 will have a working lineage OS build for the ph2n. I stood up all night working on the list of proprietary files need for the build.
Now comes the hard work of adding all the required blobs to get it all functional please be patient. As we are doing this in out free time. Once the device tree is all setup it will be a lot easier to port other roms to this device such as omni aokp DU and so much more. I chose a 13 build as I'm new to this and its a lot easier to port a Rom that has many components that are stable with the version.
If you appreciate our work buy us a cup of coffee. Or hit the thanks button for the Devs working on this build .
Thanks to all the xda community.
We should work on a changelog concerning drivers for cheaper models like my tmousa k550.

Custom all the way.
I am sending this to you in hopes of curing my boredom...
Montoya, how are you getting the blobs? I have root when want it, I just don't right now. I have teamoctos synced, I have all the source code for our device. I'm not much of a programmer, but let me know I can help. I have Ubuntu with all the packages for compiling.
we need all the help we can get

Good news we have the the last branch to the tree built so builds will start this week sometime. We have a lot of work ahead still so be patient.

Both you and Messi are doing amazing things. When this is done, both of you are getting a cup of java (I couldn't resist Java instead of Joe or Coffee). I downloaded the jackpotcalvindonkey thing yesterday, did the make on it, but didn't get it out.
Btw, your github shows no public repos.
Well that was quick
