Hi Friends,
I am having Micromax A75, which is MT6573 having Armv6 running on 2.3.6 Android.
As this handset is not supported by Cyanogen, but i want to create a custom ROM for this handset.
I have downloded around 26GB of cyanigen source code repo and 600MB of kernel source.
I have build the kernel successfully. but i dont know what to do next.
1. From where to get running ramdisk? and to pack it with my zImage
2. After Step above, How to port cyanogenmod on my handset.
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi experts,
I'm new to building Android ROM. So please correct me if anything doesn't make sense
I have a device that's currently running Android 4.2.2 (Amlogic 8726-mx). I have all necessary source code including uboot, kernel, 4.2.2 source.
I have two questions
Can I use the existing kernel, uboot source code and merge with the Android 4.4.x source code from google?
If yes, is it just simply replacing the "system" folder and then run make command to build? If not, can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thank you all in advanced
I want to compile ROM for my Alcatel MTK6577.I synced repo JB and I don't know where the put Alcatel source into JB source ?
I, on behalf of the owners of the Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus device, based on the Mediatek MT6582 chipset, need some help in building a kernel source (not a kernel from source) for this device. I have a few fully working custom ROMs, a Github Account, some forked repositories of other devices having the same chipset but minorly-different hardware, and some time. What do I have to do to get to building a kernel source for this device?
It is a dual-sim device, based on the Mediatek MT6582 SoC, having a prebuilt kernel version 3.4.5, with no kernel sources even for its clone, running Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 . @superdragonpt had created some new kernels for some devices(eg. the Wiko Darkmoon, MT6582, he created a new kernel source and a new kernel) having no previous kernel sources, how can I do the same for my device?
The Android One devices (Indian) are based on the same chipset, and have the same features. But, the difference is that they have a smaller 5MP rear camera and a locked bootloader, while ours has a 8MP rear camera and an unlocked bootloader. Can their sources be used for my device?
Also, after creating a Kernel source, how can I create an AOSP source for this device? Please help me out with this.
Hi there,
All things about your device is in this thread:
[ROMs and Recoveries] Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus/ S5 + - All Things And Dev.
Take a close look there and see if you find an answer there.
Good luck
I know, I started that thread.
It contains many Roms for my device, but there are no updates for them because it does not have a kernel source. There are no new kernels for the device because a kernel source was not released by the company. So, I asked it here.
I forked the kernel source from another device having the same soc, but I wanted to know how to create one specifically for my device.
One more thing. How do you build a kernel from a kernel source? Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
You can learn more about kernel development here:

I suggest reading a couple of the relevant kernel tutorials found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android
Good luck

Hello XDA Developers
I Wanted To Ask about something confusing
Now To Build An AOSP ROM You Need The Source Code OF The Phone
What I Wanted To Know What's The Difference Between Device Tree And Vendor
And Last Thing If My Phone Running Kernel 3.4.67 Can I Change It To Be Like 3.10.72 (If There's A Source Available )
Sorry For Asking But I Haven't Seen How The Source Looks Like And Thanks In Advance :good::laugh:
