[Q] Searching source tree for Galaxy Core Duos GT-I8262 (arubaslim)

Hey guys!
I've been seaching now for some time in order to find a ready-to-build source tree for my GT-I8262. I found several entries on github but unfortunately I got compilation errors for all of them. The most promising one was the approach of ankur850 which he explained himself here.
In order to get rid of some of the errors, I changed the following points in the .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml:
Inserted remove-project in order to resolve the conflict with the existing repository by Cyanogenmod.
Changed the path kernel/samsung/arubaslim to kernel/samsung/msm7x27a
Removed the revision attribute for those repositories having a later branch (since I tried to build cm-11.0)
resulting in the following xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="ankur850/android_device_samsung_arubaslim" path="device/samsung/arubaslim" remote="github" />
<project name="ankur850/android_vendor_qcom_msm7x27a" path="vendor/qcom/msm7x27a" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project name="ankur850/android_device_qcom_msm7x27a" path="device/qcom/msm7x27a" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project name="ankur850/android_vendor_samsung_arubaslim" path="vendor/samsung/arubaslim" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project name="ankur850/android_hardware_qcom_display-legacy" path="hardware/qcom/display-legacy" remote="github" revision="jellybean-mr2" />
<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_audio-caf" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project name="ankur850/android_hardware_qcom_audio-caf" path="hardware/qcom/audio-caf" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project name="ankur850/android_kernel_samsung_msm7x27a" path="kernel/samsung/msm7x27a" remote="github" />
</manifest>
When compiling (brunch arubaslim), I get the following error - which seems to be related to the repository:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `frameworks/base/data/etc/com.stericsson.hardware.fm.receiver.xml', needed by `~/android/system/out/target/product/arubaslim/system/etc/permissions/com.stericsson.hardware.fm.receiver.xml'. Stop.
I would appreciate very much if someone could point a working CM11 (if possible CM12) source tree out to me (or even help me to build with this one).
@admin: If a forum moderator/admin happens to be reading this, I would appreciate very much if you could integrate an overview for source trees like you did for ROMs and kernels.
Many thanks!

There is no com.stericsson.hardware.fm.receiver.xml
In framework/base/data/etc as I recall. Check again if its not there than there is no rule to make it.

Thanks for your quick reply!
I searched the whole android repository using grep -r com.stericsson.hardware.fm.receiver.xml device hardware kernel vendor and could only find an entry in device/samsung/arubaslim/device_arubaslim.mk. What should I do now? Should I just comment this line and try to run over it? Will this cause reduced functionality?

Maybe it's not needed at all or it's proprietary file from stock but I doubt that.
All you need is proper packages.

You might be right. This section of the repository has been changed between cm-10.2 and cm-11.0, so that this file doesn't exist anymore. As grep -r com.stericsson.hardware.fm.receiver frameworks doesn't return any results, I suppose that this file has become obsolete. Because of that - I don't like to say this - I think the maintainer has abandoned his repository during the port to CM11.
Do you know if there is a more up-to-date repository for this device? I can't believe that the uploaded CM12 builds just pop out of nowhere...

CM11.0 github repo for Amazon ariel

There is a working TWRP version, so no need to replicate CWM !!!
Instead, what would add most value is if somebody managed to disable checking for signed bootloader/kernel. Basically, somebody would have to comb through TEE1/UBOOT binaries, and figure out how to disable signatures. There is no good way to debug it though, a tiny issue with the code may brick the device.

i have an idea build safestrap recovery for fire hd 7 to get cm 11 working not a cwm recovery
Edit: i cant try to build safestrap cuz there is no source code of it

Trouble with local_manifest

Hey guys. I'm trying to compile AOSP for our device, but I keep running into problems. I try to add the local manifest but I keep getting an error. The error is:
HTML:
fatal: error parsing manifest /home/iacevedo/aosp/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml: duplicate attribute: line 7, column 61
My manifest his this:
HTML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github"
fetch="https://github.com/" />
<project path="Cyanogenmod/android_device_motorola_quark" path="devices/motorola/quark" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1"/>
<project path="Cyanogenmod/android_kernel_motorola_apq8084" path="kernel/motorola/quark" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1" />
<project path="bhb27/proprietary_vendor_motorola" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" revision="RR-12/12-LP" />
</manifest>
I have limited knowledge in compiling so if someone can help me it would be very appreciated.
Edit: Forgot error. Sorry. Also updated manifest to have github as remote and added proprietary files.

what source is that?
your file is wrong, It should be...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_apq8084" path="kernel/motorola/apq8084" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1" />
</manifest>
the vendor for Motorola device is TheMuppets that is the stable one, you can use my but I change too much and in some point in time I may let a nonfunctional tree on my git plus I may delete/change the name of that branch any day, but TheMuppets will never do that because that is the one used by CM server to build and is 100% stable.
you do not put device tree on the manifest that is personal, you must have your one make changes and publish that to your one github, some source is not compatible with CM that is way I ask the source...
If the source is not CM base it will require a lot of dev skills because you will need to change almost all the device tree to make it work, as the only device tree that exist today is CM.

Thanks, I don't get that error anymore! The sources were just some I had found from around the forum. I'm going to switch to a Ubuntu based distro because I'm having some errors with my Java. Any you recommend?

I use google recommendation... Ubuntu 14.04 64bits.
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
if you need let me know I like to see more ROM for quark... :good:

Ok so I'm working on this on my free time, in between two jobs. On the manifest, I don't need the device tree? Or do I have to build that myself?

you can but only if the source is 100% CM compatible and if you don't plan to make the ROM with your taste, CM is vary basic there is a lot to add or remove from it, plus most source are not 100% compatible they need changes to the device tree to make it work, to know if you need to change you can try and have a error or you look for other devices tree that use that source and look for the changes that they make to work almost all device tree start by forking CM tree.
so you fork CM tree, clone to your machine make the changes and publish it to your github account, just search github basic tings clone commit etc, you will find all the command and things related, XDA and google have it all just search.

[Resolved] Error while syncing repo with a custom local_manifest.xml

Hey guys,
I'm somewhat new to building a custom ROM for Cyanogenmod, and I'm a bit lost right now...
Ok, so my problem is, I created a local_manifests.xml to pull in some repos for my device, which is not listed in the Cyanogenmod website, but I'm getting a "cannot fetch" error.
Since it's my first time working with the local_manifests.xml file, I thought it might be a problem in it. Maybe I did something wrong there.
This is what I came up with:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/sony/sonyxperiadev" name="sonyxperiadev/device-sony-seagull" remote="github"/>
<project path="vendor/sony/sonyxperiadev" name="sonyxperiadev/device-sony-common" remote="github"/>
<project path="kernel/sony/sonyxperiadev" name="sonyxperiadev/kernel" remote="github"/>
</manifest>
I got the repositories links from the FreeXperia Blog. (I can't post the link, or the repos link because I'm a new user, sorry!)
I'm trying to build a custom ROM for a Xperia T3 (D5106).
ANY help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!

Well... That's embarrassing. I just forgot to specify the revision on the xml file.
