You know , even low end PCs can do the job sometimes , I remember , I tried to build AOSP Extended for my Nextbit Robin with a laptop , my config was :
• 2Gigs of Ram
• Intel Core 2 Duo
• An old Intel graphic card
• Running a 32-bit Linux
I successfully cloned the source , and I start building , but it failed because I needed 64-bit Libraries.
So give it a try , it will take time but it may work.

Getting into rom development?

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask the following question(s).
Background: I've got experience in programming Java, C#, Python and I've messed around other programming languages before.
I'd like to get into the entire ROM building / compiling / 'cooking' scene but I am clueless as where I could start. I've a Zuk Z2(plus) with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 3.1.0-3 installed.
Rom: AOSPExtended V4.4
Kernel: DarkMoon Experimental 178
Mod(s): shox_Audio_Mod V1.4
Gapps: Opengapps micro
Root: Magisk V13.2
I've been testing lots of roms recently, and now I am getting interested in (as mentioned above) compiling my own roms and maybe even port a rom myself? I'd start out with testing on my Zuk Z2(plus) since I can recover this device from any kind of software-brick. The main reason I'd like to mess around in this scene is because I've got an older tablet laying around with a MTK SOC, but with android 4.4.4 and I'd like to be able to update this
Tablet I'd like to upgrade (eventually): Cube T9 (currently only supports android 4.4.4)
I'd like to create a ROM based on one of these tablets: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BOBARRY-10-inch-screen-for-T109-only-a-screen/32801822243.html
It might be completely fake hardware specs, I only hope that the SOC and the android version are correct (Maybe someone can confirm this for me)?
It's the only other tablet I've found running the MT8752 SOC and an android version higher then 4.x.x.
Any idea's tips or places where I could start best? I am open to all suggestions so please comment below

Hey mate,
I certainly can help you out in regards to rooting,
Firstly have you ever rooted a device before & which model 5044 do you have the 5044T 5044D or 5044Y, if your device is Optus X spirit from optus it will be 5044T,
With roms unfortunately there may not be one available for your device due to how new these are if you have 5044Y User154 has CRdroid which is android 7.1.2 im currently trying to release it for the 5044T but there is a null imei problem so im halted
Im also tryingto build LOS16 for these but im not sure if its going to work or not,
You wont find any rom from anywhere for this phone unfortunately due to how new they are myself & user154 have only just really kicked off the development for these with me Building the first working TWRP and philz touch for these and user 154 building the first working custom rom for the 5044Y variant,
Over time others will contribute to developing of the 5044 and things will get rolling,
And apologies for the late reply

Ill have AOSP 7.1.2 custom rom up in a week or less hopefully for the Optus X spirit,
It will come with default Trebuchet Launcher from LineageOS 14.1, if you want nova launcher on it just download it from the google play store when i release it,
Front camera needs fixing now and thats it so wont be far away,
This post originally also did have a rooting guide attached to it but i removed it as was taking up alot of space so what ill do when i get some free time is type one out in a .txt file zip it up and upload the link here so you can just download it and read instructions.

Asking for guidance regarding custom roms for my device

Hello there,
I own a "Symphony i90".
OS : Android 7.0 | Mediatek MT6735 | Ram : 1 Gig | Kernel : 3.18.35
The chip is 64bit but the official firmware is 32bit.
I want to install a custom rom as i'll use microg instead of google. Manually debloating has mostly left me with either a soft-bricked phone or some gapps remaining which tend to crash a lot.
So far i've looked all over google to look for the right rom to port but i never found one with matching requirements (architecture or kernel, etc)
I looked into some facebook groups which did have some possibly compatible roms but they lead to dead links when trying to download. On top of that, they have been inactive for about a year or two.
I hope i can recieve some help, i'd be very grateful. Thanks
