Hi, may I ask somebody experienced with ROM building, if it is possible to build fully functional and stable build from AOSP sources if i have kernel sources for my device from vendor?

Hi, yes. I've compiled lollipop nexus4 from aosp in ubuntu 14.04.1 x64 in vmware.
I've downloaded the source, included the proprietary files, and compiled android, compiled with make and make otapackage to generate the zip.
After that i've rooted the device, installed twrp.
Finally, i've downloaded the source kernel and compiled to generate the .img. I've flashed this to the device with fastboot, and
yeeeeeeh perfect!!!
obviously, after this, i've downloaded the gapps and installed.
But, which version would you compile? And which device? All the sources are available and open source?
i wana make AOSP build for Huawei Ascend G6, I have only kernel sources from vendor... I suppose that kernel will work with any version of android or not?

Ok, you have the sources, very good.
mmm, i'm not sure that every kernel + android combinations work perfectly together.
For example, on my nexus4 i've kernel 3.4 and lollipop. Now, if android lollipop requires some modules/functionalities/"other magic stuff" to work properly from the kernel, and you install kernel 2.x.x without this feature, probably you'll have problems.
I mean, i'm not sure, but is only a logic hypothesis.
You can solve this problem using the latest official version of android from Huawei and your compiled kernel from Huawei sources. If this works, try to update android to another version with a custom rom. It works? Perfect!, It not works? Damn, restore the backup and use another older android version
To build android/kernel you must transform into a researcher :laugh:
I'm newbie and I've successfully compiled the default cyanogenmod kernel. My next step is to upgrade the kernel from version 3.4.67 to 3.4.106. I read about linux kernel patching but all my attempts to patch the kernel failed.
Can someone please let me know how can I patch the kernel from version 67 all the way to 106?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm on OmniROM 4.4.4 with Franco r63.
I want to apply this patch: https://github.com/pelya/android-keyboard-gadget
but I can't seem to find any way to download the r63 release source.
I should mention that I'm new to compiling android kernels (but I have compiled regular linux kernels back to 2.0.x versions)
Thanks.
hi! does anyone here using android 10 with 4.14 kernel here? i'm stuck on 4.9. i really want to try out 4.14 because 4.9 kernel is problematic on aosp 10. i tried to follow sony's guidelines to build aosp 10 kernel 4.14 based but i got errors at the end.
thanks
I am currently trying to compile the kernel from official source... Worked so far. But what is the audio kernel? How to compile / include in kernel? I am finding zero information on it on Google.
