When they said there is no source code, that means the manufacturer or your service provider has not released the source code to the public, that means there won't be any custom ROMs for you until they release the source code, they might not ever release your source code to the public. You are wasting your time looking for a ROM.

Hi,
Im new with android develoopment so please bear with a n00b. can someone guide me how to build ics rom using the source provided by samsung..
I have downloaded the original android ics source and samsung's source.. I can build the android source but I dont know how to plug in the samsung code. Unfrotunately, sammy's documentation is insufficient probably about 10 lines, just says to overwrite the android source and do a make. But when I run make I get errors...
I've been looking at the forums most of them build from the cm10 source, but I want to build using the original. Figured I would learn more if I tried to build it from the actual sources..
Appreciate any help. If I learn, I would definitely pay it forward by contributing whatever I can to the community..
Thanks
You need to post this in the Galaxy Note phone section.
Wrong section. 1) Dev sections are for builds and modifications. 2) wrong device thread. This is for the galaxy note 10.1 tablet.

Wrong forum and building pure AOSP for Samsung non-Nexus devices is impossible, too many framework changes needed. Android userspace is Apache licensed so this is unfortunately legal.

Please post in the correct section.
Hello everyone,
I've heard people saying it was not possible to develop ROMs for Lenovo phones due to lack of source code.
Today while visiting the support site I see that Source code for several phones like P700i(MTK6577),S660(MTK 6582m),A7-30 Tablet(MT8382 ) are present at the lenovo website.
LINK:http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en
Just enter the name of your phone model in the search bar to check if source code is available.
Hope to see some ROMs coming soon.:good:
thnx mate
hey thnx buddy....you saved d day...
Downloading now and will check source files.
Okay I hope this would help in ROM development

Is this the required source code or something is missing?

Sorry, but I can't really answer your question since I'm not a developer. I'm only enthusiastic about android and right now am learning how to build from source so don't get your hopes up.
Looks like they have the sources for my A369i too.
probably I'm going to buy a lenovo s660, hoping to have good news from ROM developers
any news?
pls help
hello

you have to compiled that in linux, if u want to make a custom kernel/recovery/ROM then merge or patch it with custom source code. u can find the tutorial here in xda
download link been removed !
Provide a downloading link. Pls
Below link gives access to open source code for lenovo vibe x3 (x3a40). Can you please make custom rom for my device please?

Sorry mate. I'm sure devs are working on it. But the link you provided is solely for kernel only. There are many device specific codes required to start off with the custom firmware. Guess we'll have to wait at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Can you please educate me on the device specific codes that are required for a custom rom?

Well to say the truth, I do not know how to put it in words. You see it's the codes that are published by vendors for the device, and some by developer themselves. It contains some proprietary codes mostly in "*.mk" files, some "*.c" files and so on. Device codes can be cloned from similar devices like for our device, we could clone Nexus 5X's source codes for CyanogenMod or for similar ROMs. But still vendor codes for the device is mandatory to get a working device with fewer flaws. And device codes, maybe devs are working on it. We need to be patient until someone comes up...

Custom ROM sources require that the stock source code be made available to the public by the manufacturer/carrier of the device. If the stock source code for a specific device has not been made available to the public, developers can not create custom ROM source code for that specific device. Developers use the stock source code to create the custom ROM source code and then ROMs are built using the custom source they created. I think that is the answer you were really looking for. You want to know how the source code itself that the ROMs are built from is created. You aren't asking about the fruit that comes from the tree, you are asking where the tree that bears the fruit comes from. Am I right?
The only way to get custom ROMs on devices that do not have stock source code made available is to port custom ROMs from a similar device with the same architecture that does have available source code and custom ROMs made for it.

I answered the question. If you specifically want to know how developers convert stock source code into custom ROM source code, you probably will not find that answer here. Most of the people here work with the stuff that the LineageOS team creates from stock source code after the custom ROM source code has been created, they are not part of the process involved in creating the custom source code. It is like being a construction worker, the construction worker does not create the material that he uses to build a house, someone else creates the materials and then he uses what they created to build a house. Google and the LineageOS team create the material, the developers here use what they created to build the ROMs here.
You should try going to github or the LineageOS website to ask your question.

So hello xda I'm atoore I wana know something please if you can answer me, I would be grateful. I developed a miui official and a source code with a kernel 7 years ago but I didn't post in xda because of family problems. If you can locate my source code inside the internet with the kernel, please let me know. The miui official inside the internet with multi upload website that I used to upload it is not original. The original miui official is inside a Samsung galaxy s2 located in Tukwilla washington. What I wana know is this, if you can find the source code for me plus the download link for the miui official inside the internet, please post it here in this thread. Thank you for reading....
