Hi! I have found some source code (device tree, vendor) for CyanogenMod for a device with almost the same specs as mine: Infinix Hot 2 & BLU Energy X 2. I am trying to port the device tree to my phone, but if I did something wrong, I don't want it to break my device, so I don't want to flash it on my device. Better safe than sorry! Anyways, I want to emulate my device on my PC to safely test it without risking my device. How can I do this? Or, is the only possible damage if I did something wrong is a bootloop? Because I can recovery from that (flash stock rom using SPFT), I just don't want a hard brick. Maybe someone could tell me if this approach with a similar device tree will even work?
Thanks!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately assist is for guiding new members around the forums only, however I do think what you are asking is possible in android studio so perhaps look in that thread/forum
Thanks for understanding

Hi guys. 2 months ago I've came into Android World deeper than before and now I'm very fascinated. I downloaded linux, all the necessary files to compile a rom but I still don't understand some things.
My device is Redmi Note 2 and I use stock MIUI 7. As we all know mtk and/or xiaomi haven't released kernel sources (6795) so developers have to think hard how to make a rom. And there are my questions. Does kernel source is really necessary? What if I compile rom successfully and then port boot.img from stock? Will it work? However developers made some roms based on LP for this device. And I read that I need device tree and vendor, which doesnt exist for redmi note 2 or I still can't use github.
Second question which I have is: does compiling for 64 bit CPU differ from compiling for 32 bit CPU (like 6592)? If yes, could you give me some tips?
Ohh I think you can understand what I wrote
Thanks in advance and please dont blame me for silly questions
If you are looking to compile roms then you picked the wrong device to do it. They are the worst with kernel source. You can't completely compile a rom but use a patch system that does most of the work.
Yes it is different. There are some Tuts around but they are few as most don't use that type of chip.
If you really want to learn to develop then I would suggest getting a different device. One that respects the copyright and gpl laws.

Thank you for your advices. I have HTC desire 310 and I found the kernel sources. I know what I'll do in my free time

To compile a rom u need kernel source, device tree and proprietary, bye
Can anyone please tell me how to make CyanogenMod ROM, as nothing is available for my device no device tree, no vendor tree, I only have my smartphone. I tried alot but I didn't found any way to make all materials required to make CyanogenMod ROM.
Device : HTC E9+

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

Where can I get them or build them from scratch, I found kernel on htc dev but can I use it make any rom

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.

Can you provide me step by step quide to do so
Hello all,
I have an old ascend mate 7 that a friend gave to me. I was wondering, are there any ROMs (custom or official) for the smartphone that contains an android version beyond 6.0?
I have the mate 7 MT7-TL10.
Thank you
Ok, so I am thinking that I will attempt to compile a version of Android that is above 6.0. However, I do have some questions:
I have already downloaded the source code. I am about to build the source for the Ascend Mate 7. Then, I found out that I might need to know the Device tree? There seems to be some conflicting information regarding this. Using google's guide, all I need to know is the code name for the device and there we go. We can compile the source! (Woot!)
On the other hand, other guides state that I need to download the device identity such as the tree, vendor, and kernel and include this in the source. (See this guide on xda website: https://forum.xda-developers.com/che...pment-t2814763) In another guide, I need to setup the jack server? (https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-16-04)
So which is it? Should I just follow Google's guide or do I really need to know the device identity? If the latter, How do I search for the device tree, vendor, and kernel? More importantly, what are these and how do they work in relation to the Android source?
Also, I believe I will need manufacturer drivers for my phone to operate the peripherals. How do I download this? This might be a stretch but can't I get those files from the Mate 7?
Does anyone know about this topic?

In short:there are same some efforts trying to get custom Roms but nothing groundbreaking yet.
I am working on the device tree right now to compile from source. Not ready yet and don't have the device in hand right now (should arrive soon) s.o. else is trying with treble images.

I thought device tree is something that was used to be leaked from Xiaomi
As far as I can see there is no device tree published by xiaomi for tucana (our device)
Only thing we have rn is kernel source.
But we can create device tree by ourself. There are some basic guides online. Rest is compare with existing device trees for similar devices and copy&paste.
for now I have downloaded k20 device tree, removed everything k20-specific (e. G. Popup Camera) and adapt further files for our device(s)
When my handset arrives (should be today) I can start unlock procedure (should take some time to get the code AFAIK), then I can unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and see if I can get my device to boot properly after flashing... Then comes troubleshooting.
Right now I am expecting maybe a halfway booting device or broken/missing functionality at best. But we will see
I hope soon
The more people help together the faster we can get some Roms ?

No group yet, but you still get an pm

I have seen this Android 9 source code. Is it helpful?
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/tucana-p-oss
I thought this model would have more support and after 4 months there is no Rom. I hope that now that the price is going down more people buy it and we have more community. Thank you for what you know and develop.

Just an incomplete kernel sources, I think is useless.
https://www.xda-developers.com/poss...-fcc-certified-snapdragon-730g-penta-cameras/
There will be a lite edition soon. The only difference on hardware is number of pixels.
If its ROM is same or almost the same to current models, we should get some progress around development.
Anything new?

Well, just tell me if you need help.
Same here, I am very tempted by the Note 10 but I am waiting for an aosp rom as many people complained about the stock miui rom
Any news or update on this? Would love to buy a Mi Note 10 as their prices have gone down but with the lack of development I'm kind of leaning towards the 9t even tho I'm worried about that front camera as some have had issues. I suspect not many are developing for this device because of the high price. Hopefully whoever said something up there about the Note 10 lite gets custom ROMs going with more devs
I'm still trying here but very short on time. We have some good progress on device tree thanks to someone else (thanks Hlcpereira).

Awesome news! Thanks :good:
I think the development goes now straight because we have MIUI Stable based on Android 10 now.
Good luck!
Hello,
I'd like to get into android ROM development. But I will need help/guidance.
I've managed to build lineageos for curtana using xiaomi kernel and malachite device tree and vendor files. Don't know it it actually works as I don't have the device
.
So as I said I'd like to learn it, but as android is big I am still kinda lost in it. I know i can create something that already is, but that is not useful to the others, so that's why I am thinking about these 2 devices xiaomi note 10 or note 10 lite as they don't have any roms yet.
So if there is anyone who will be able to help and guide me through the process of getting device tree, vendor files and using (xiaomi) kernel putting it all together, I will be more than happy to buy one of those devices and go and create and support some lineageos, aosp and or pixel experience roms.
Thanks

The problem is that there are no working trees yet. The only thing which is not working is the display. the display is just dead
