Can complie CM11 and so on from source without problems, now i thought to complie AOSP but the device aren't supported anymore.
After Android 4.3 google stops the support, so just have official sources and drivers from them and from CM1X and OmniRom.
Is it possible to complie AOSP kitkat or lollipop with the sources i have?
Its interessting to know it and try it on my own...
Maybe anyone have an idea how could i made it, every hint are welcome.

Hi, may I ask somebody experienced with ROM building, if it is possible to build fully functional and stable build from AOSP sources if i have kernel sources for my device from vendor?

Hi, yes. I've compiled lollipop nexus4 from aosp in ubuntu 14.04.1 x64 in vmware.
I've downloaded the source, included the proprietary files, and compiled android, compiled with make and make otapackage to generate the zip.
After that i've rooted the device, installed twrp.
Finally, i've downloaded the source kernel and compiled to generate the .img. I've flashed this to the device with fastboot, and
yeeeeeeh perfect!!!
obviously, after this, i've downloaded the gapps and installed.
But, which version would you compile? And which device? All the sources are available and open source?
i wana make AOSP build for Huawei Ascend G6, I have only kernel sources from vendor... I suppose that kernel will work with any version of android or not?

Ok, you have the sources, very good.
mmm, i'm not sure that every kernel + android combinations work perfectly together.
For example, on my nexus4 i've kernel 3.4 and lollipop. Now, if android lollipop requires some modules/functionalities/"other magic stuff" to work properly from the kernel, and you install kernel 2.x.x without this feature, probably you'll have problems.
I mean, i'm not sure, but is only a logic hypothesis.
You can solve this problem using the latest official version of android from Huawei and your compiled kernel from Huawei sources. If this works, try to update android to another version with a custom rom. It works? Perfect!, It not works? Damn, restore the backup and use another older android version
To build android/kernel you must transform into a researcher :laugh:
Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.
Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.
Hi guys!I want to become an android developer and I know about the AOSP project,but I have not found based of android versions.I want worker on ICS ROM for galaxy pocket(GT-S5300)or cyanogenmod 9,but on a "pure"ROM,without any modification,like nexus android version,for worked on it and optimize for any devices.
1)How I can optimized an android version like Nexus devices for a specific device?
2)Where I can download the necessary for a ROM or a ROM to be optimized?
Thanks
Simply start by downloading cori's source and aosp android of your choice, then edit & merge things from source to aosp then compile.
I know that Sony has released aosp for marshmallow, but I haven't seen any builds to download. Is the rom not working? I can try compiling the code myself, but I'd like to know if the rom would be suitable for daily use.
I've only seen Sony's Concept Marshmallow for the Z3. Aside of that only the open source code is published without the proprietary drivers/binaries.
Paranoid android is an awesome custom rom.......though many of its features are closed source still a great number of features are open sourced too.....it is also caf based,so our osprey will run smoothly.......will any dev come forward and make the rom for us?
