[Q] How to compile Android

Hi
I've got Galaxy3 over a one year. I'm flashing and changing the roms a lot. And now i'd like to know how to compile/port roms to our device. I've got Ubuntu on my notebook but no knowlege..
I'd like to help Icsforg or other devs and also do something for other users.
So can someone give me some advice where can i get knowlege for doing this ?

But its no piece of cake...marcellusbe,apollo and others are genius people trying to get stuff work...
All the best. Hope G3 gets a good developer in you

It's a long way to be like our fantastic devs, but everyone must had to start sometime
So thanks

[Q] Help..

Can anyone provide some information on how to port roms from the SII to this considering they have the same hardware so newbs (like myself) can try to help with the roms for this phone? Maybe an expierenced developer with time can help us with porting the roms? Thank You in advance.

Well I'm sure there's a lot of guides on porting out on the web. But probably not specific to the blaze. There has been some ports done by erikmm although they are not completely functional, if you don't need camera take a look at them I'm not so sure if they can be daily drivers yet. Have you tried out darkknight rom though? I'm completely satisfied with it. I would suggest it to anyone with the blaze.

I totally agree with you on the darkside rom... One of the best roms available. But Wouldn't it be cool if anyone with free time started to port roms from SII to this phone??

[Q] 2 roms questions

Hi, sorry if this thread is short, but i have two question blowing my mind.
1: Why don't whe have a 4.0.4 Cyanogenmod Rom?
2: And can we have a stock 4.1.2 rom? I mean, with motoblur, not cyanogenmod or that kinda variants
I know that motorola isn't collaborating with its upgrades. But, there is any chance?

First of all the boot loader is locked that means no custom kernel that means no proper CM builds, still there is an unofficial CM ROM in the development section take a look at it. And don't forget the funda "search before you post"..

You don't get me at all. I know that there's 3 roms of 4.1.2 CM.
And this was my comment about that, but no ones answers me:
I know that is hard, and i really really really apreciate the work that they're doing.
But, we have 3 roms of cyanogenmod, and the 3 roms have the same bugs.
I repeat. I know, they can't spend the whole free-time that you have working in the creation of the rom. But, why don't you team up and make a unique functional rom.
Or, am i missing something, and for the moment we can't have a functional rom because of motorola or whatever?
I repeat again, sorry if i'm bothering someone, but i ask this from my ignorance.

Then learn how to build your own freaking ROM, and why even start a NEW thread with this junk, it all fits in the CM Q&A thread.
These types of threads are not cool to your dev team. We all work very hard to bring the stuff that we do, to you guys, for free.
If you do not like the bugs in the CM based roms that we have then do not use them and stick to stock and stop basically complaining about it, or do some reading and learn about the process and see why we have these issues, we have all posted about it so many times now it is not even funny.
I saw your post before and chose to ignore it, but now that you have posted a new thread like this, I just had to reply.
--EDIT--
And to answer the questions you put in the first post here:
1) because the source for CM10 with 4.0.4 is not out anymore
2) because motorola will not release a 4.1 or 4.2 stock ROM and kernel, so we can not port that, even our 4.1 and 4.2 CM based roms are still really 4.0.4 because we still have the 4.0.4 version of the kernel underneath.
Again all this has been spelled out too many times now and some reading and searching could have gotten your answers.

I already said this, but, i do not want you to get mad.
If you can't response a single question without freaking out, then, don't answer.
I just gave an opinion, like i said, from my ignorance.

I am not mad BTW, I am just tired of people not doing their own research. You are more than welcome to do some reading on compiling Cyanogenmod, so that you understand what we are up against. Also try searching for compiling cyanogenmod on locked bootloaders.
We (all the A2 devs), have answered these same questions so many times now, it is not even funny. It seems that as of late people have gotten more and more lazy in here, and we just keep hashing the same crap over and over again.
You say it is from your own ignorance, but you do not have to be ignorant, just use the search function or do some reading on your own and find what you need. And I do not want to hear excuses or complaints about the search function, I use it all the time, all you have to do is play with the wording until you find what you want. Also note other devs did not answer your original query either, for probably the same reason, not to put words in their mouth's either.

Also I hate to tell you but most of your devs do "team up" and we work together on our IRC chat room to do dev work, but again reading around the forms would have also told you that as well, as we talk about it quite often.

I think only PA is 4.1.2 so far.. the others are 4.1.1, I think
And Jim's right, I also saw your post in the PA thread and started to reply, but discarded it because I felt I was sounding too mean.. let me try again:
I can say from my personal experience and (relatively low) skill level - it's a mess trying to get all the pieces in place to compile a working ROM from source code for our phone - specifically, the vendor and device files..
I know at least a few A2 devs are working to straighten things out for Edison directly - and a few others working on other Motos with similar hardware and locked bootloaders, which benefits us all.
It's probably safe to say that our phone is in the early stages of true ROM development (as opposed to derivative pseudo-roms and ports) - there is still a lot of work to be done to get something truly stable.
Again, please be patient, or learn and contribute... don't stir the pot.

[Q] How to check custom ROM compatibility?

How can I check if a custom ROM is compatible with my phone?
Is it only compatible on a certain phone?
I have a Cherry Mobile Burst, And sadly I can't find a custom ROM for my unit. So I'm asking if there are other custom ROM that I can use??
Thanks!!! :crying:

The only real way is to make sure it specifically states that it IS for your device. If you cannot find one for your device, then you can try to develop one. Even the identical chipset will have different hardware that make the ROMs incompatible.
If it does not say "This ROM is for XXX device" then don't flash it, that's my advice.

I doubt it because there is a lot of work that goes into developing a ROM, like hours and hours, so usually phones that not many people have don't really get it, because why develop for a phone that 20 people own when you can develop for one that thousands or millions of people own.
Keep looking, there may a custom ROM out there, does your phone go by another name? Like an actual model number?

There are no developers that own that device, if they did then there would be ROMs for it.
There is no point in asking or waiting for developers to make ROMs for this device because it will never happen.
You've got a low end device that no one is interested in developing for, you'll have to learn to do it yourself if you want ROMs, that's the only way you'll get ROMS for this device.

can saomeone give me a link of a website or a blog that has wiko u feel lite MT6735 custom roms in it? I just find it difficult to find a custom rom for my phone. Thank you!

I need a custom ROM for Wiko robby2 i'm not found it who can help me pleas?

I have an Galaxy A50 sm-a505w carrier:XAC, and Bricked my phone by trying to download an incompatible custom ROM,, now that I have recovered, I want to install a custom ROM to used with root. Any custom ROM would be appreciated but I am willing to download Corvus. I will be grateful for any sort of help. ROM name and version with link will be appreciable!!! Thanks in advance!!!

CUstom ROM

no custom rom available? sucks

However, what makes KangVIP.

sucks
+1 on sucks :/
Hope soon some good devs will make us happy. The stock UI often gets crappy and slow, needs reboot.

Hello Guys,
I'm also very dissapointed about the availability of custom roms.
I'm not a rom developer but I have some programming skills (websites etc) maybe we can do something with other members to bake or own custom ROM instead of waiting for a developer with a Mate 7.
Who like my idea? Just want to check it.

Do not question. As it is difficult to implement. Is little information on the structure. The Chinese forums can it not look at the cards. Have the contact already tried, unfortunately no answer.
