Hello,
I have decided to try building Android from source for one of my phones using this guide:
https://source.android.com/source/requirements.html
I am at the step where i need to add the proprietary binaries for my phone,
but i´m unable to find them. I have looked everywhere. The phone in question is a Lenovo K30-T.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the binaries?

Thanks for the answer, but i can't find lenovo vendor files, should i use Quallcom's instead?
In the Quallcom directory there are files for the SOC of the phone, but will they also work with things like the digitizer or buttons?

Hello,
No qcom binaries are different thing altogether.
If you have CM for your device, ask the developer to show you the vendor he is using.
Or you can generate blobs from stock firmware.

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.

Hi, i don't know where/how to find the proprietary vendor files for ZUK Z2(normal) AKA z2131 but I've found on github the ones for Z2 PRO(z121) and so i was wondering if they might be the same because they have also the same soc?
These are the two:
https://github.com/hiikezoe/android_device_zuk_z2121
and
https://github.com/Mr-Bubble/android_device_zuk_z2121
They're so different, which one i have to use?
I need those because i was trying to port from source RR rom for my ZUK Z2, and not build it on a already-made cyanogenmod.
I'm new to this, thanks. And I'm not sure if this is even the right section, if not please move.

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.

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.

Can you provide me step by step quide to do so
I am creating a new android device and want to create a kernel for it, how can I create it? Almost every guide and tutorial suggests to download a kernel source from the device's developer site for the particular device, but what if I want to create a new one?And how can I do it?

First, you need to decide exactly which hardware components to use, then find out which Linux kernel drivers those components require. How the kernel is built and what it contains depends on the hardware in the device.
Really, it would be better to ask this question somewhere else other than XDA, XDA deals with custom development and modifying existing stock firmwares, not with building source code for a device from scratch.
