[REQUEST]Developers Needed for CM Development - General Topics

Hi all,
We need Developers to build CM for Micromax A110...it has a forum on XDA....and we've got open source device tree:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324246
Please, it's a request to all the developers on XDA to help us port CM to our device...
Me and all other users will provide all the support we can...
Eagerly waiting for a Reply...

I will help for our community

Can you confirm CM9 and CM 10 require similar specs?
Then we can use the source tree used there to edit this MMX one accordingly...
Since varun.chitre has stopped we have to get this done by ourselves....

Guys with out the full kernel source which the OEM refuses to provide your not gonna get very far. And the source for the MTK chip is not the full source. We are in talks now about what to do with these forums as they break our gpl rules.

The version you stated uses the same thunderzap kernel by vatun.chitre[most part of it]..and it will work without much problem because cm9 is based on 4.0.4 and thunderzap is based on mmxa110 4.0.4 kernel sources which was released by mmx at the first place....and we still do not know if they will release JB kernel sources or not…so I am not sure if cm10 works will go the same way as of the cm9....I will try to compare the two kernels later today though......

Guys for now we should first CM 9 booting with the sources available. Then we should think of CM 10.I m learning these things now, so I can contribute something valuable

CM9 is not a problem, IMO. I think If someone just starts it it can be completed within a week[atleast boot].. Because everything is available.[ kernel source + CM sources + device tree]. But CM10 requires 4.2 kernel sources which has not been released while CM9 requires 4.0.4 kernel[source code available publicly + thunderzap is based on 4.0.4 kernel, so no need to do much work on kernel.]
EDIT:
A110 Device tree : https://github.com/varunchitre15/android_device_a110
Thunderzap[based on 4.0.4 kernel sources] : https://github.com/varunchitre15/thunderzap_canvas_2
and CM9 sources links : you can get from their website...
4.0.4 Similar Stock Kernel : https://github.com/aquila-dev/wiko_s9081_stock_kernel
Now what I found yesterday is WIKO Cink-King JB kernel sources : https://github.com/wiko-sources/cink-king
So, I now think that If we do some progress we can correctly boot CM10 by using the JB kernel to edit and get a custom kernel for a110...I am not very sure...This is what I think...If anyone can advice, It would be great...

fyi - those build DO NOT REQUIRE any Custom Kernel. i switched zImage in the CM9 boot.img and worked like a charm. we`ll need to get those mediatek propietary sources working. im working on a CM9 myself, does not get further than our french friends here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246892 .

I have no idea on this part...because, till today I thought kernel customizations are needed to run cm. So we can use the cink-king sources + device tree a110 for this. I really have no idea...

me neither xD does not have such coding skillz yet. for this build, on this point, it isn`t necessary. maybe you cant use e.g. TUN/TAP when not compiled in the kernel, but basic features should work.

I'm one of those frenchies that try to make it work. As you saw we made it boot actually without that much problem, but before saying it works there's a lot of work.
I'd like to explain one small thing here since it seems people or thinking that because Cyanogen released the sources, we can get something working on any device. THIS IS WRONG. Even if we have a kernel sources or a "device tree"
Cyanogen includes some vendor sources, like Qualcomm for exemple. This why you'll get some things like
Code:
BOARD_USES_QCOM_HARDWARE := true
COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_HARDWARE -DBINDER_COMPAT -DANCIENT_GL
COMMON_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DQCOM_LEGACY_OMX
in your "device tree" configuration.
Then take a look at the stuff that are in android_hardware_* there's some source code for qcom, some for samsung some for texas instrument and strangely nothing regarding mediatek. Those files are important otherwise we need to use the binaries already compiled to make them work.
Looking at the assembly code from the actual wiko-peax running under ICS, some modifications have bee done on hwcomposer. So we can't use directly the provided headers that are inside cyanogen sources since they are not the one used by mediatek. Mediatek hwcomposer for instance uses a mmumapper that nobody else uses.
I didn't look deeply at the JB binaries from mediatek, but I don't think that they like miraculously decided to switch and be directly compatible with the AOSP sources, so here there's a lot of work to do on the sources themselves.
This is why we're trying to work on CM9 since some partial sources have been leaked about an actual device running ICS. Thoses sources are much more modified then the one that goes with the binaries we have, but can be start point.

Can anyone guide me to a tutorial or any helping information for building AOSP for 8160?
I have found links for Nexus devices and don't know what to modify for our 8160.
Trying to learn how to do that but so far i managed to compile something for nexus (don't know if it's only kernel or complete rom).
So please, if anyone can help with some useful links i would appreciate it.
Thanks.
P.S. If i manage to build a working ROM i will gladly share it.

Call Maclaw, he is a doctor of ACE, with his track record he able to build Final ICS AOSP and CM 9, and now he builds JB AOSP for S3 Mini.....
did you know? S3 Mini and Ace 2 generally not much different.

I thought that you already asked Maclaw?

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39585258&postcount=1778
Maclaw selected SIII Mini, not ACE II for next project as you can read on his blog. Also saying that "S3 Mini and Ace 2 generally not much different" is like saying that SIII and Galaxy Note 10.1 are not much different. They have the same SOC and thats all.
Yet different enough. Even if they look similar, there are other differences that don't make porting such and easy task.
Still, publishing the sources for this handset is a great step forward. I, for one, cannot wait to flash a custom rom.

No u can't because we dont have the kernel sources for jb.
Somebody needs to make mmx understand what does Gpl stands for and by not releasing the kernel sources they are violating the gpl licensing terms.

LG SU 760 Android 4.4 kitkat CM11

Can someone port Kitkat to O3D devices
because i saw nexus S has it already :crying:
U can give it a try?
Sent from my 3D phone.
You guys can use the p760 files and modify it according to your old cm builds. E.g. change the kernel defconfig and some ROM features (like partition size and stuff). I think it can be done with quite ease. Just go ahead and check mateo1111's repos. But I guess you guys are about as screwed as we are... OMAP simply lacks support for KitKat and without a working and updated 3.4 kernel, as the Galaxy Nexus devs try to build, you ll never have a really stable and acceptable stable ROM...
But hey, why not try it anyway? All you need is Ubuntu, a bit of time, the skill to read and a whoooooole lot of patience

it wont work(easily) by just porting..it has to be vendor specific files from CM to make the framework boot..i have compiled my own CM Rom(for Nexus4) before and its much easy to build than port.. i am eagerly waiting for summer for the AOSP project to start..
Even we are waiting for your AOSP based ROM!
The major thing that we are missing for our device is CM...if we get CM then our device will be excellant...
Sent from my HTC X920e using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
CM can come if someone builds CM from source.
Start from kernel porting is correct way. As two devices are similar, after replacing kernel to the one that runs on your device, it will boot. Without working kernel you cannot debug with logcat.

i'd be better building it ground up to make sure everything is fine..kernel is easy to setup..the vendor and device files are the PITA..since this is a unsupported device and the next closest base is the Droid DNA..

I guess problem is something else. The device source where we are trying to port from might be of different configuration. So we need to choose a device which has similar specifications like us. Lets hope for the best.
