[Q] Question about ROM building. - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have some questions about building ROM.
I'm new to all these stuffs but I'm kinda used to porting ROMs. I'm trying to build SlimRom for my MTK device. My question is where do I get a guide on how to build a ROM from source code or MTK devices. Or anyone out there ready to help?
Thank you.

I haven't done it before but i'm a pretty expert at porting apps and theming stuff so i can try building a cyanogenmod rom for this device
but all i need is some testers.
My dad has this phone and it's very laggy so i know why people want a custom ROM
P.S.:My dad won't allow me to root his phone
so i need some testers and some more developers will start my work next month stay tuned and pm me if you want to join hands!
yes Bro I Am Ready For Testing Your Rom Just Build It

Thanks for help. If you build your ROM, I'll test it on my S7390 - I should only change model number in build.prop and some info in updater-script. S7390 is just the same as S7392 - the only difference is the fact S7392 has 2 sim card slots - that's why its name is duos.
PS. I'm counting on you, I think you can do it!
i am up with testing and developing
I want to test your ROM as soon as you have it

[Completed] Creating a kernel source for Karbonn Titanium S5 Plus (MT6582)

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:
[GUIDE] Build Your Own Android Kernel{Easiest and Fastest Way] [Using The NDK]
[TUTORIAL][VIDEO]Build your own Android kernel
I suggest reading a couple of the relevant kernel tutorials found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android
Good luck

[Completed] Looking for a guide on custom roms or for porting roms.

I own OPT. I am currently setting up to build CM for OPT using sources from few awesome devs who have finally made a bootable CM13.
Right now i am looking for a guide which can show me how to build other custom roms using those CM sources or other available sources.
Like if i want to build slim rom. There is no slimrom source based on marshmallow. So a guide regarding this.
I tried searching but all guides that i found were on how to build roms which were already available.

[Q] Building first ROM from AOSP non Nexus, a couple of questions

Hi all,
I want to build my first rom. I'm a software developer (Java and Web), but my Linux knowledge is somewhat intermediate.
I have a Moto G4 Plus laying around. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Downloaded the AOSP source from Google for android-7.0.0_r15 (Nougat)
2. Found the Kernel Source for the Moto G4 Plus (Nougat)
I'm stuck at adding the device's kernel source to the AOSP source. How do I combine the two?
Here's the link for the kernel source: https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-NPJS25.93-14-10
I've tried looking this up online but the results are very limited.
As far as I understand this kernel source provides everything I need to make the ROM compatible with my device, right?
Could someone point me to the right direction?
Much appreciated.
