[Q] I want to build CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 myself. Help!

Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

I don't know whether some people are still talking about this device.
I thought everybody started throwing it and getting his newer one.

I've got a working CWM. Looking forward to porting a newer version.
I've got my hands on a working cwm (somehow it did) for b5330. Now looking forward to porting CWM 6 from cm source. I just have too slow bandwidth for cm source syncing. So let's see how it goes.

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!

FINALLY!
ported

I always support you sir!

I'm currently working on it. It still does not support audio/bluetooth/wifi/phone/usb nothing. It just supports full touch n can run games. You can't use it for calls/internet! I just sideloaded few apk files via adb. So it ran them smoothly. N don't call me sir please. I hate formalities.. just chill

Sure ask whatever you need. But I suggest you do thorough research n a lot of forum searching before you ask anything. I've been digging for 1 year collecting info n learning things.

Why there's no official CyanogenMod support for us?

I was wondering why not to get official CyanogenMod for our devices in this forum?
is there any official request to apply? or what does it require?

I hope so much someone can port this ROM

IIRC, locerra was in contact with the teamhacksung mainainers. The P68x0 wasn't officially supported due to some problems with the wireless drivers. I don't know if that's an issue anymore, or if someone could apply to maintain the P68x0. However, the teamhacksung is not active anymore: no Exynos devices are being actively maintained. That will hinder future development.

Device popularity also take place when they choose which device to support. Tab 7.7 was under Apple lawsuit claimed due to it design (as claimed by Apple) which made it sales was going down compared to earlier and later Samsung Tab. Just my 2 cents.

OP please read the Forum Rules on posting this does not belong in the Development Threads....Moved here.

I think Exyons chip-set devices is still officially supported
refer to this thread for N7000, which shares a very common hardware, and they are officially supported with CM10.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796217
I think it's all about popularity, and availability of maintainers reasons.

We still need developer to port it for us as we cannot straight away flash that ROM. Since there is no official CM maintainer interested in P6800, so no official support for us.

We can donate to him so he can buy one.
I will ask someone for the amount of money to buy one

When can we expect marshmallow (android 6.0) for oneplus one devices?

i couldn't find a similar thread or question asked about this. Does anyone know the ETA of marshmallow's availability (CM13 maybe) ?

You can search the development and original development sections. Below is a Marshmallow ROM. AOSParadox team is also working on one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...nt/experimental-homemade-android-6-0-t3225725
It is pretty much AOSP though.

It's generally never advised to ask for ETAs hence why you don't see threads like yours. Just wait patiently for the devs to bring up the source and implement features. If you're in a hurry learn to code and do it yourself
NB: I pressed thanx by mistake.

This^. Marshmallow will be here when it gets here. Until then.............
Thread closed

Has all development for CM 13 for taoshan been stopped?

Olivier has closed the thread and removed all files.
Does anyone know what the current status of development of CM 13 for taoshan is?
I'm not sure whether this is the right subforum for this kind of question.
Not looking to break any rules or piss Olivier off, just genuinely curious about the future of development for taoshan.

Olivier closed cm13 thread besause of some people don't know what they should do. I think cm13 is still being developed and until a really stable build is done, the thread will be opened again . Hope those people posted link of beta builds know what they did and will never do that again.

Actually, official CM13 development is still ongoing, so I don't know what you started there.

ROM requests are not allowed. Also, if you want someone to build a ROM for you then you'll have to PM some developers here and ask them if they would be willing but you'll have to be willing buy another device like yours and donate that device to the developer. If you can't donate a device then you are wasting your time asking for a ROM.
If you can't or won't donate a device then you'll have to learn how to build ROMs for yourself. There are many guides for building your own ROM all over the Internet and there are many members here that have made their own recoveries and ROMs because their device was not supported by any developers.

As I'm in the same position with this phone I'm considering creating my own basic ROM for it. Although I'm good at IT in general I'm not a programmer or developer or Android expert so I'll need to ask one or two of my friends to help me with the compiling and makefile aspects of the task (according to a Youtube video).
My question is how much time my friends would need to put aside for this (as long as I do the downloading and use my PC to do all the compiling work).
I don't even want to ask them if it will take hours of their time.

dude it is not problem for me

Hours would be an understatement, more like days weeks or even months to iron out all the kinks.
