how to build a cyanogenmod from source for unsupported devices.All the custom rom's building instruction say that "Your device should already be running the branch of CyanogenMod you wish to build your own version of for the extract-files.sh script to function properly. If you are savvy enough to pull the files yourself off the device by examining the script, you may do that as well without flashing CyanogenMod first."
But where is the first proprietary blobs came from??
How can we get the proprietary blobs for other devices for the first time build?
I dnt understand anything...I'm trying to build a fresh cm12.1 rom for my device galaxy j5..plz guide me in ryt way if am wrong

Hi I'm interested in building ROMs for our tf300. I've tried building ROMs before both on my desire HD and this last weekend for the tf300t, but I've always run into problems: especially when I wanna build a ROM for a device that isn't officially supported.
For instance, I would like to unofficially build carbon ROM for the tf300t.
I know how to setup the computer in Linux and its all setup. I know how to repo init. I know how to repo sync.
Now for the hard part. Correct me if I'm wrong. In order to build an unofficial ROM I would need to pull the device tree and vendor tree, right, and put them into the repo that I repo synced earlier? Then I would need to update the local manifest to include those device and vendor trees?
I have several questions about it.
First, where can I get the device and vendor trees? It seems as if drgravy has some good trees, maybe I can use those?
Second, would those device and vendor trees have the 4.2 BL support or is that a different change?
Third, would I need to change the repo to build a proper kernel for the tf300t or would the device tree or vendor tree include the kernel source? Any help would be awesome.
Also in replying to this please don't just post a link. I've read a lot about the process, I just had some specific questions.
Thanks

tegra3_android_defconfig seems to be the one.
Yes, I am trying to rebuild their from source. But, when I have testing on running. There are found red splash when I click them on screen. May I know what the caused of this ?
Thanks.
Ok, The problem has resolved now .
AOSP's guide to building kernels is quite useful. I actually used it earlier today.
http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
It contains building instructions (obviously) as well as the proper defconfig for all AOSP devices.
Hello,
I recently downloaded the official AOSP source code into my machine and I want to compile it for my GT-I9300,
but before that where do I get the device blobs and properitary drivers from? Can I use CM's device tree? Are there any other device trees?
And in an addition to that how do I get the Kernel to work properly? Do I need to use the CM kernel?
A hint / tip or a link to a guide would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I can suggest you to go to xda university
I'm sure that you will find all you need for cooking your own build
Good luck
I would like to start with building my ROM from scratch. I have read a lot of tutorials and they're all the same: sync everything and then make otapackage or etc. The problem is: it is everything already preconfigured, you have just to build.
So my question is: can I use latest Sony kernel sources or M2Dev KitKat sources to build CM12 or AOSP Lollipop (generally to build higher version of Android)? Or maybe I would have to write it from scratch? I expect to get at least bootable ROM.
I can't tell that I'm going to start a real development, I just want to learn how stuff works.

Hello,
It isn't possible. You need a kernel, device tree, vendor for building CyanogenMod.

Hello,
Well you need to bring them up from scratch.
You need to extract blobs from the ROM, update the kernel to make it buildable and booting with CM, device tree from scratch.
