Hi All.
I am Abhisek and I am trying to build CyanogenMod from source for our Micromax A70.
Micromax A70 is quite popular in India as a budget phone, but this device is stuck with Froyo. No more updates from Micromax as well as no kernel source from Micromax. So I am trying to build CyanogenMod from source for Micromax A70.
I am choosing CyanogenMod over AOSP as CyanogenMod supports more devices and have many patches over AOSP. So building CyanogenMod will be easier than AOSP. If successful, I will port a Oxygen/AOSP build.
I was about to give up hope until I found out how to enable ADB on Micromax A70. So I have successfully enabled ADB & obtained the system dumps. Now I can start on this project.
Current Status:
1. ADB is working perfectly.
2. System dump obtained.
3. Hardware info obtained.
4. Firmwares obtained.
5. CyanogenMod sources download in progress.
6. Currently creating the device & vendor folders.
I will keep the progress updated here. Lets hope for best.
P.S. Mods if this thread is inappropriate or in wrong forum, please do the needful. Couldn't find a better place to post this.

I will provide the adb tutorial in case anyone is interested ( that is how I got the system dump ). All credits go to mastermind1024 of androidforums.com. It's not my work, so if you have to thank, thank him. He is the one did all the adb working stuff. You can read the original post Here.
Update:
mastermind1024 is here on XDA. You can see the tutorial Here.
For me, I have to manually run /sbin/adbd from Android terminal emulator to get a working adb connection. You also have to give permission for adbd in SuperUser. FYI I use ubuntu.
If you need the boot.img & recovery.img You can follow the tutorial Here

you mean this rom is under development? I don't have a70 just asking. And you are on right place. Also microsoft needed to open kernel source.

You meant Micromax right
Yes the ROM is under development. The repo sync is taking forever. I have a pathetic BSNL BB Connection here.

sorry yes i mean micromax. and best for your rom. i think it's first 2.3 a70 rom?
Good!
How much % is the sync complete?
Moreover who are u on androidforums?

I have same userid abhis3k. Sync seems to be complete at 70%, I can only see the directory size, Fetching projects is showing 89%

Yes AFAIK if I succeed, this will first GB ROM for A70.
------------ edit -------------
I have tried to run ADB with root permissions. It works, but somehow adb remout does not work.
P.S.: I found the problem, the system was already r/w.
I would say NO bcoz i m from a secret team and we had ported GB to A70 and touch doesn't work in any of the Ports
Moreover u will wonder that touch doesn't work in Android 1.5,1.6 which i had ported from HTC G1 also it doesn't work in 2.1 which i ported from Micromax A60
So we need to build ROM from source which u r doing. Moreover that is not enough because as soon as sync completes then we need to enable touch drivers in BoardConfig.mk

Great!! I had no idea A70 had a GB port. If you can share the details It would be easier to compile for A70.

Sure I will check it out. It will speed up the development.

This seems like a binary port using kitchen. Right?
Binary port?
Its ported using kitchen which involves replacement of kernel.
And when sync completes, inform us here,a we will make two roms.
One with unchanged boardconfig.mk and second with modded boardconfig.mk
Sent from my Micromax_A70 using Tapatalk
Replacement of kernel includes replacing binary files including so ko and firmware files. Which are all binary. Only recompile includes a output which is not binary replacement.
Download is still at 93%. I will come back when its finished.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
I am also at 91% since a week..i am getting fatal errors on sync now n then..project downloads upto abt 86%(abt 650mb) n then I get error...i had to do all again..still no luck.i wish i can finish it tonight.we (me,varun,akshay) eager to lunch rom from cm source as we have hope that changing boardconfig will give us working touch.let's see.
extract-files.sh
I have completed sync & also made extract-files.sh
I want others to examine & complete it if I have missed something.

@mastermind I have checked the file. Seems so good so far. I hope my sync will also complete by tonight. I am going crazy with these BSNL broadband problems
Have you started the build? Let me know the boardconfig.

the script doesnt have adb pull for the binary akmd2.without which sensors wont work .
and in a70 there is also a file called Focal touch.kcm and this is used by the kernel at boot i checked in dmesg .
so add this two files two ..
akmd2
focaltouch.kcm [from usr/keychars]
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

Where is the method? How to port or create from existing tree?
The simple method can be done by all and it's no way useful and its not explainable
If you are new to this quit it let other devs make use if it
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

I dont' know if there's a custom kernel for this device. But you can download the source code form here https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/opensource to compile it and add features by yourself.

To compile a kernel from source you can follow this tutorial.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/ultimate-guide-compile-android-kernel-t2871276
There are more threads, this is an example.
The build number in your screenshot (5_180) tells the number of the kernel version you need to download (i want think so ), in this case is the Nokia3_V5.180.tar.bz2 file.

With having a linux environment you can build a kernel from source reading the guides. Adding features is more difficult because the main reason: this device has mediatek SoC.
