[Q] A little help

Hey guys,may I know "In order to make a build for your device, you will need a suitably device configuration. Often these are included within the main source download, or are obtained through a method documented by the developers of the ROM." <<<<<where can I get this?

Should be the source code, i guess.

Kernel source code?

I think so.

Where can I find proprietary binaries?

Kernel Source code can be found at www.htcdev.com
After it is released.

And the binaries are located in the source code?I'm asking all this questions because I'm in the midst of developing.And to further understand so that it would be easier for me.

I'm no kernel dev, so i can't answer more than this.

It's ok.

closed source bootloaders

ok , have searched on the www with nothing that explains to me (or simple enuff for me to understand ).
question : can anyone tell me why bootloaders are closed source ?
AND this damn carrier radio thats tied/locked/ to firmware/OS.? probably getting my terms mixed up. maybe someone can figure out what i'm asking.
any explanations/links/thoughts are most appreciated.

I think it is like with all other proprietary things, the creators don´t want to give they´re rivals
the things they have made for free.

Not all bootloader are closed source.
Chinese's QCOM phones have CAF bootloader with minimum changes.
For example show custom bootloader based on CAF sources: http://github.com/jsr-d10/android_bootable_bootloader_lk
Main menu this bootloader: http://cs5-2.4pda.to/7971817.jpg

Will there be a Custom Rom?

Does anyone know about this topic?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-10/how-to/custom-development-t4018813
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 ?

If you have a group for this, would you pm?

No group yet, but you still get an pm
Anyone willing to collaborate is welcome to pm me as well

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?

Please look at the existing topics first, before opening another topic!

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!

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.

sir there seems to be multiple files...which one should i download.?.?. I am really new to this...
and I will be very grateful if you can point to any tutorials or blog posts on how to modify kernels coz i cant seem to find any...

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.

Poco support flashing custom rom

I Got this reply from their Twitter account
Me : Does unlocking the phone’s bootloader void the manufacturer’s warranty of poco M2 Pro.When can we expect the kernel source release
Ans : Hi, flashing the ROM will not void the warranty for POCO, as we allow flashing custom ROMs on the device. The only thing to take care of here is that the modded ROM doesn't alter the CPU clock speed or hardware of the device and no damage must be caused to the underlying software.

they released kernel sources silenty...there is LOS 17..1 booted by a dev...check the tg grp
