Hi everyone, I'm trying to build CM11 for the i8190 (S3 Mini) and I'm using NovaFusion's device config from github.
The problem is, their device config uses F2FS and I can't seem to figure out how to disable it. I've tried commenting out the F2FS PRODUCT_PACKAGES in device.mk but the ROM's updater script still contains commands to mount and format system as F2FS.
I tried checking build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files but it's the default CM one (I didn't use a custom android_build repo).
Hi there,
First of all you must understand that Assist Forum isn't an helpdesk forum. Please read our sticky thread with the purpose of Assist.
Second, see bellow few guides and tutorials where you must start reading:
Getting Started: Building Android From Source
There are lots of resources throughout the XDA forum, for instance this one: [UltimateGUIDE][How-to]Create your Own Custom ROM an easy way|Android Secrets -_- and this one [ GUIDE ] How to Prepare Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr to Compile Android ROMs
Good luck

This is purely for my own learning experience..
I'd like to try compiling SlimKat (https://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest)
for my d2lte device as well as maybe adding a few features
(And yes, I know that SlimKat is already available for my device) I just want to try doing this myself...
So I know you need Linux or Mac OSX or Windows with this special program (forgot its name)
I'm using Ubuntu 14 LTS in a virtual machine
The first part I'm unsure about is which source to use. (Slim has 2 links) I know d2lte is a qcom device, but I have no idea if it uses CodeAuroraForum trees. I'm guessing yes? -Because the other link is for non qcom
If so, do I download the source from here? git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4-caf
-And are the commands Shen using here in Terminal the same for Ubuntu 14 (He's using Ubuntu 10)? http://youtu.be/H_ReU-0w4IE
Also, how would I add something like Screenrecord from ChameleonOS like Carbon did or PAC?
I'm unable to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547196
as I don't understand it...
Before all of this, I will try compiling Cyanogenmod from source just so I can get familiar with this process..
Thanks in advance for any answers I recieve!
Hi!
I suggest you ask the experts at slim. They are usually very helpful with this kind of thing.... Please try asking here..

Hi All,
I've been reading these forums for sometime now. Until now I've only been here as a user of roms not as a developer.
However, on my current project I had the requirement to get an android distribution running on a beaglebone black embedded board. As there are a lot of experienced rom developers here I would like to ask my question here.
Currently I'm successfully booting the kernel. It also seems to get to the actual homescreen. However, it seems that I'm currently in a bootloop a when I reach the homescreen. I get thrown back to the boot animation.
My guess is that there is some kind of memory issue here. More specifically the vmalloc part.
I get the following error in the dmesg when the homescreen crashes:
binder: 1804: binder_alloc_buf failed to map pages in userspace, no vma
Can anyone confirm that this is good explanation and tell me how I should adres this issue? Or maybe provide me with some other tips?
I tried to increase the vmalloc size but I'm not really able to do so. if I enter the vmalloc=512M command on the uboot it doesn't really change the size...
Thanks
Hi there,
You must read some guides and tutorials for that. Starting from:
1. This guide about how to port different ROMs to your device.
2. This guide about how to port AOSP ROMs to your device.
3. This guide about how to port a ROM to your device.
4. This guide about how to create a new ROM for your device.
5. This guide for ROM development beginners.
6. This guide in xda university for building your own android rom.
7. This guide in xda university for porting an aosp rom from source.
There are also instructions on the cyanogen mod wiki site about it.
A good place to ask if you have questions about it or need help, is Chef Central - Android. Many devs are watching this forum and can help quickly.
Good luck
Hey there,
I tried to compile a CM12.1 based ROM but ended up having a Sustem UI FC on bootup.I did try to compile the ROM with adb enabled but my device was not getting detected in the adb.So a random guy told me to add this (PRODUCT PREBUILT WEBVIEWCHROMIUM := yes ) to my device BoardConfig.mk file.Now the question is - will adding this line help me out with the SystemUI error? Also,should I use the prebuilt libwebchromium.so file or build it from source? What are the benefits if I build it from source? Do reply.
Thanks

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The purpose of XDA Assist is not to supply technical support but to point you in the right direction to get that support. I see you've posted a similar question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/build-freezes-building-t2996934/page2 That is the best place to ask your question. So I'm going to close this post.
hello everyone i m trying to make a flashable zip file for my Motorola RAZR xt910
for making a ROM i tried many ways
http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
this is just one of them i m trying to build it from the source but whenever i compiled it gives my Random error everytime and this is going on since last month
even i knw that i dont have a good config
core i3-540 3.06ghz
4gb RAM
and yes 32gb of SWAP
through out the 1 month period i actually got one zip file as an output but when i installed it gives me bootloop so it was also an waste
and i used make -j1 otapackage and the default GCC toolchain
ryt now i m confused and frustrated that why no output is coming and all the time random errors
i will attach some of the errors i got .
even i thought to change the toolchain to sabermod so that i might get an output but since cloned it in my repo after that i lost i dont knw how to make the compilation using the sabermod
1. is it true for config which i carry i need to change the toolchain?
2.or i m misguided ?
3. or my bad luck?
4. can i actually make a working zip file ever?
please help me.

I would like to develop custom roms and recoveries for the Logic X3. Unfortunately, this device is quite unknown so I can't find any drivers for it
It is currently on Android KitKat 4.4.2, and with its limited internal memory I am limited to the number of apps I can install. I have tried EVERY app/mod this forum and Google has to offer. None works.
I really would like to begin by making a custom recovery for it. Attached is a screenshot of some of its features.
Anyone who can help with this is greatly appreciated.
