FAQs
>Why is it giving errors while compiling zImage for Xperia devices????
Answer : You need to add the various makefile and defconfig fixes for the toolchain to work properly
Please refer to this excellent thread by doomlord for various fixes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447310
>TA partition and EFS partition backup doesn't work properly
Answer : Please remember to specify the memory block correctly. If you still get an error then please tell me the error so that i can check if the error is from the tool's end
>How to add a toolchain????
Answer : Add it under android_toolchains folder in your home directory
Open the tool and navigate to toolchain_selector script under scripts folder
Add the toolchain name and the correct path as given there in the following format
toolchain_name[the number after the last toolchain name]=
toolchain_path[the number after the last toolchain path] =
>How to clean your kernel or Cyanogenmod work directory?
Answer ; Navigate to the kernel or Cyanogenmod work directory and type in Terminal : make clean
I will incorporate this in the next release
>Download toolchains or update tool doesnt work
Answer : make sure you have the git package installed. You can install from the tool itself under GIT tools

I'm sorry @Dark Wraith, but is this not another nail in the coffin that was a developer's community? I'm not cheapening the hard work you've obviously put in creating this tool, it's an achievement for sure but to what end? I know this toolkit argument has been had many times before (and someone has to say it first here), but how does this actually help anyone learn the basics? Xda is full of people who just want the results without the work and surely this only encourages more of the same?

No need to apologize.You have every right to criticize. In my defense i would say that when i wanted to make a kernel..i used championswimmer's kernel tools..i used dxdia's kitchen to work on Roms but that doesnt mean i took a shortcut..i used a toolkit out there to get started. I still had to learn stuff to make changes to a kernel/Rom and i was intrigued by the idea of how the tool was working. And while studying Dxdia's sources i actually came to know about a lot more than i would have done myself. many people want to know how to build a kernel and then they get discouraged if they feel its tough..yes..there will be people who will use it as a shortcut..but there will also be people who would start kernel building because a tool is out there to help them or atleast get them started.
p.s.Sorry for no punctuation marks..comma doesnt work on my laptop...:silly:

actually i learnt alot by viewing the content of tools, viewing it in raw format and learning how things work.
it encouaged me to find a way to make a kitchen for windows users and noobs.
so i guess im the perfect example

You have every right to express your opinion, but that being said, your post makes you sound like a real elitist, one who's upset that his elevated place in the exclusive club is about to be disrupted by those "filthy ruffians" who didn't earn their developer's chops by clawing their way up from the gutter. In my opinion, anything that brings in more developers to the community is a good thing. Sure, there are going to be plenty who use this tool as a shortcut to doing any hard work, but there are going to be those who use it as a starting point to further their knowledge of ROM building and modifying. Everyone needs a place to start, after all, but implying they'll never be "one of the boys" without beating their head bloody against a desk isn't at all helpful. Dark Wraith should be commended for creating a tool that will help bring new blood into the community.

That's one side of the argument, if you re-read the first several pages of @championswimmer's kernel kitchen thread you'll be reminded just how strongly some people feel about this... I'm not in either camp by the way.
My point is that xda is not what it was, if we continue to post toolkits here it will only dilute the pool of serious development further. You just have to dive into an official CM Dev thread (N4 is a good example) at any point and browse, say, 25 pages to see exactly what I'm talking about...
For every one person that takes your tool, pulls it to bits to figure out how it works and goes on to do their own original work and contribute back, I feel sure that there'd be many more that just go ahead without any real understanding of what they're doing, expecting you and I to bail them out when it goes wrong... I hope that's overly cynical but, ironically, from evidence I don't think that is.
Your toolkit might have a place, and again all credit to you for putting it together. Personally I believe it's more hand holding (even more so than ROM or kernel kitchen) which ultimately helps no one.

no bro..its not about support. Cm11 can run on ur device and you can build for it provided that you have the kernel source of your device available..For officially supported devices you will have the kernel source in cyanogenmod repository. For a device with no kernel source you cannot build cyanogenmod. What you are talking about is cyanogenmod porting to an unsupported device. Take a look around in cyanogenmod's wiki. I might add porting options in the tool in future but atm you can build only for offcially supported devices

Looks like Cellular part doesn't work. Reboot on setup screen, and endless searching when looking for providers.
Am wondering if this has an apns-conf.xml?
Baseband isn't installed?
Never mind, apns-conf is included.
Also notice it only has 2 and 3g capability, even if it worked. No LTE
Screen rotation doesn't work and gets stuck in portrait mode when Hangouts opened.
Wifi drops out and will not auto-connect (sporadic)
Camera Forces closes
GPS doesn't work (locations doesn't work with wifi either)
Seems these issues are also on the Z2 Phone.

Unfortunately no builds for Castor Windy (SGP 511/512) yet
Also, a bit more info in the OP would be appreciated, such as what works and what doesn't.

Ive also noted on the downloads page there are 2 download files with the same file name. However, when zip opened, the file image sizes are different.
Are they indeed 2 different builds? After redownloading, it is indeed so. Pity there isn't a date before downloading. (I know why)
Oh yes, one more thing. Adfly needs to go. It's fair enough I paid for the premium speed, but the adfly is against the rules.

Soft brick......

Hi there,
Any chance to see a 4.4 AOSP for the Z2 tablet ?
I'd like to use XPosed but that can't be done in LOL I think...
I know that there is a CM 11 for the Z2 Tablet... but some features I'd like to get on my Tablet using Gravity Box won't work as the things are modded by CM (i.e. : the QuickSettings)
AOSP exists for the Z2 Phone... why not for the Tablet ?
If needed, I have a running Linux VM to build it myself... but have not been really succesful so far
Regards.

are there any AOSP, not cm12 prebuild images?
ok, found them, i can see 2 caster with the same date, which is the castor windy?

There is no version for Castor_Windy yet...

a lot of changed including telephony this week
please test on as many netrworks and report back
new roms are released

Why still no castor_windy?

new builds coming
changes
-wifi fixed on z1,z1c,zUltra
-full device encryption
-panel detection M2,E3,T3,T2U
not implemented yet
-camera
Known bugs
-video playback in full screen is broken
-GPS on 8974
please post any bug you find so that we can fix them

This is CyanogenMod 12.1 built straight from source with Code Review
cherry-picks and my own custom device trees and kernel.
CDMA carrier setup:
The following only needs to be done once to allow init to properly setup your carrier specific system properties.
This will set ro.boot.carrier to your specific carrier identifier and will persist through future flashes of this ROM.
Code:
From the bootloader issue the following commands depending on your carrier:
'fastboot oem config carrier verizon' (Verizon)
'fastboot oem config carrier pageplus' (Page Plus)
'fastboot oem config carrier reliance' (Reliance Mobile)
'fastboot oem config carrier sprint' (Boost Mobile)

Nice man ... Will be giving this a shot. Do you have a bug tracker set up or do you want logs and reports posted here?

Yummy. Also trying this out for sure.

Feel free to post logs / bugs here. Mainly have time to build after work on weekdays. On the weekends is when I can actually work on fixing things.
For device specific things just post the bugs / logs here. For CM specific bugs I would use JIRA and post a link to the bug here. (More helpful/useful to the CM team to make an actual JIRA bug report.)

3 WORDS: STABLE AS ****!
thanks for the rom, this will forsure be my daily driver. only little problem is the no service icon (xt1031) but data is working. soft reboot fixes it though!

Can anyone please comment on the speed of this ROM since it is Linaro based? The other 5.1 ROMs on my phone are pretty responsive, but if even more speed can be gained with our limited hardware, that will be great.

@CodyF86,
Having a problem with the download link. Rom starts downloading but does not download the whole 251mb. Only partial download. Tried about ten times but still same result. Tried with a different browser but same result.
Edit: Nevermind. Downloaded the rom from my phone and copied it from download folder on phone to internal storage.

Hello there @CodyF86 ! Thanks for you work! One little request. Do you think you will be able to add a mirror or upload your work to another claudbased storage? Like MEGA or Mediafire or AndroidFileHost or whichever you want. This one you are using is insanely unstable for me. It gets interrupted every 5 minutes. I'll be really glad if you could change it or add other(s).
Cheers.

I'll upload to Google drive starting tonight also. Driving home from work, will do another one.

Thank you very much! And sorry for bothering you with this. I really want to test your ROM since al Linaro builds seem gone from this forum. Thanks again. Drive safe
Cheers.

New build posted. Main link is to Google drive now.
Some more ARM assembly fun if you look under the kernel source commits.
Will fix the signal indicator so you don't have to do a soft reboot for it to work this weekend. Need to go through the soak test build.prop and compare a few other things...just need time this weekend.

thanks for both: new link and new build Can I dirty flash it over the build before? Just installed the first release lol
Cheers.

I've been dirty flashing; should be good to go.

Update: yes, this ROM is very fast indeed! Thanks for sharing.

This ROM is very fast! Especially for a CM ROM (which in my experience have gotten horribly slow over the last few versions) I haven't experienced nearly as many redraws, stutters, freezes or any other general unpleasantness. Good job @CodyF86

Same here. great work! Not as many customizable like other 5.1 based out there, but is enough fast and stable. Thanks.

just wondering what recovery you are using and do partitions need changed from stock?

What models are supported?

@CodyF86
thanks for your work!
I've a strange bug on last cm...every time i reboot time and data change and the year switch to 2025. I've read its time_daemon related bug...can you control? I've this issue with last cm12 builds

CWM 6.0.5.1 I think 6.0.4.7 is the last one posted on CMs website, I'll post the latest one in the OP tonight, but they're basically the same. Nothing needs to be changed from stock.

Weird, I haven't noticed that, but tbh I haven't actually payed attention to what year my phone shows / I don't even have it set up to show me I'll have to look and see if mine does it also.
Will do another one tonight / it's the weekend can play around with it get some things done now.

Device tree, vendor files.

Hi, I'm currently trying to build AOSP for our device from source however I cannot figure out how to add device support, I've followed so many guides on editing the local_manifests.XML but I can't seem to get it to work.
Can any of our devs explain to me how to build AOSP with the addition of our device support? I'm not entirely worried about kernel ATM as our source was released so I will build that.
I just can't for the life of me add device support properly.. Could anyone link me to a guide or some other stuff to read? Google is very unhelpful when googling Linux related issues.
Edit - to clear up any confusion bottom line as of right now I basically need to know how to implement the device tree we already do have (several github links, mainly cm based) into my AOSP source.
Would I just technically copy the files into Google's already created device/vendor/ folders?
https://source.android.com/source/add-device.html using this link as reference. May be very bland.

Try building CyanogenMod instead. They have device specific instructions!

Fair enough. I imagine as he posted this 6 months ago, he has been successful in his attempts!

[KERNEL][HAVOC-OS-2.2 - 2.4]Coconut Kernel with Nethunter Support[HolyDragon Source]

Coconut Kernel for HAVOC OS - With Nethunter Support
Code:
***I'm not responsible for any problems that might occur flashing this kernel or what you do with the kernel support***
This kernel is tested on HAVOC OS 2.2 - 2.4 PIE. This is built from HolyDragon Source with added nethunter support/USB Wifi Adapter Drivers and monitor mode/packet injection
The kernel should also work on every ROM that Holydragon kernel supports.
Requirements
Oxygen OS 5.0.8 firmware is required. The wifi adapter wont work on older firmwares. Those who are using Havoc OS would most probably be on 5.0.8 firmware so this is just a remainder for others and/or anyone who have trouble making this work.
How to install
Make sure that you are rooted with magisk/supersu/any superuser
Download kernel from attachment and flash in TWRP Recovery
Reboot and download any terminal app like Termux
Plugin the USB Wifi card and open Termux
Type the command su
Then type ifconfig wlan1 up
This is how you can test whether it works or not
The kernel works fine with Nethunter as well as other chroot applications like Linux Deploy.
Note:- This kernel does not need any module to be inserted as all wifi drivers are compiled inline. So no need to insmod/modprobe

Thanks sir, this weekend, I test and i say you if I have a problem, but surely not, at this moment it is the kernel that I have but without the controller. I want to learn to compile the kernel on my own so that, in case HolyAngel updates the kernel, it dosn't depend on your work.

Stock oos pie source isn't available yet man. I can build pie version from holydragon sources. I'll compile one when stock sources arw available too.

This can only mean 2 things:
1) you've merely taken holydragon kernel source and renamed it as your own or
2) you're actually breaking the GPL here by not releasing your changes
So which one is it?
And this leaves me no doubt that the second is very likely the case:
Note:- This kernel does not need any module to be inserted as all wifi drivers are compiled inline. So no need to insmod/modprobe

@Fredricks
It would be more than appreciated if you could add support for HID brother. Thanks:crying:

I dont want to break any gpl.. the thing is that all my changes are local. Im not used to github. This kernel and all others i posted werr just for my own use. I have been using @ZaneZam kernel for oneplus3. But the Oreo kernel wasnt working fine. Thats the reason i tried to compile one my own. I shared it with a friend of mine some time ago and he insisted that i should post it so that others may also benefit. The kernel i posted doesn't have tonnes of feature list because i mostly stick to stock. I just added the wifi drivers and was using them. My friend asked me to add support for DriveDroid and i just did that. I don't know much about git and didnt have time to learn.
If this is against the rules then maybe ill post the source later. Im currently out of town.
for now if you want to know what changes i did,
1. Prepare the kernel for standalone build (except holydragon kernel)
2. Added just the wifi drivers mentioned in the nethunter wiki. I didnt add support for usb Bluetooth or sdr.
3. Added support for DriveDroid from official post in xda making changes to adapt the code to 3.18 kernel.
4. Added a fancy name to the kernel.
5. Published it.
