[Q] I want to build CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 myself. Help!

Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

"Devs Not Interested...."
I don't know whether some people are still talking about this device.
I thought everybody started throwing it and getting his newer one.

I've got a working CWM. Looking forward to porting a newer version.
I've got my hands on a working cwm (somehow it did) for b5330. Now looking forward to porting CWM 6 from cm source. I just have too slow bandwidth for cm source syncing. So let's see how it goes.

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!

FINALLY!
ported

I always support you sir!

I'm currently working on it. It still does not support audio/bluetooth/wifi/phone/usb nothing. It just supports full touch n can run games. You can't use it for calls/internet! I just sideloaded few apk files via adb. So it ran them smoothly. N don't call me sir please. I hate formalities.. just chill

But they have a download link for Pixel on their website: https://copperhead.co/android/downloads
Is it because they say: "available via purchase soon"?

You need a login to download it. I assume you only get a login after purchasing a license from them.

If they are selling security and the OS I dou t that they allow anyone to build their software. If you can build from their sources I dou t it includes any of their additional software and is pro ably just bare android

I tried to build it two times. The first built with no errors but the files weren't in zip format and I couldn't figure how to flash them. My second failed because I still need to get by build environment set up again. I just re-installed Linux a few days. I just switched to Linux Mint permanently a few weeks ago from Windows so I've been dealing with the transition. I have the source downloaded so I'll be tinkering with that when I have time. Hopefully something good will happen in a few days on my end. Till then this thread needs to be moved to the Q&A section. I'm glad you threw the question out there and hopefully others will join the party.

My guess is that they don't mind private builds. However, I would doubt they would be okay with a build being posted in a forum like this. Also, from reading their website it appears when you pay, you're getting the support of the devs directly as well as their updates pushed directly to your phone without having to do new builds like you will without a license. I could be slightly off but I think that was the gist of it.

Same here. I used to build ROMs for Samsung and AOSP is pretty foreign to me but I am learning. It's quite a bit for me between real life, a new OS and AOSP. It's cool though, my 40+ year old brain was getting a bit stale.... Anyway I tried again today for a few hours and made some progress. I successfully compiled a generic build but when I try sailfish I get a user error and it tells me to change user. Seeing that the official build isn't available for purchase I think they blocked the build process some way. I can compile Pure Nexus no problem so it's not my set up, probably their directions. But on the other hand it could be on my end. Either way I'll still be looking into it.

Is there a way to compile this os with gapps already built in for personal use. After building and flashing it on my phone I found the lack of certain Google services very annoying. Flashing gapps after installing the os didn't work. Also if you're on T-Mobile no data connection unless you change settings in apn, I wonder if flashing stock vendor img would help with that.

[DEV] Work in progress LineageOS 16.0 for Nubia Z18 NX606J

Hey,
over the last few weeks I've used my Christmas vacation to start working on the Z18 again. However since work is coming up again soon, I won't have that much time (and nerves) for working on this properly until the end of summer probably.
That's why I want to share my codebase with you, so maybe someone can pick up where I left off (and really, it's nothing big I did. I merely set up the device tree and made it compile more or less. It doesn't boot because of avb and I'm not aware of any way around that)
The device tree can be found here. It's still using a prebuilt kernel but I'll work on fixing the kernel source to a compileable state next.
If anyone wants to get involved, help or pick this up, feel free to do so. The community and I are always happy for help.
Explanations of what the next steps would be can be found below.
Again, do not install this unless you want to softbrick! It's not useable at all and will currently fail at boot verification!!

So what's next?
Fixing avb2.0: This isn't an easy task. How I understand, it either needs the official keys or I failed at signing the build with test keys from LineageOS. Either way this is the first step and top priority so the device boots again at least
EDIT: It seems that https://github.com/rockchip-linux/tools/tree/master/linux/Linux_SecurityAVB might be of some use (given that youyim123, the guy who also did the TWRP for Z18 starred this project). However I don't speak Chinese and putting my device in the hands of Google Translate is risky.. so anyone willing to translate, I'm open for DMs or anything
EDIT2: avb is working, so we can move on to breaking our system now (yay)

Hi, Its a long time i am waiting for a suitable rom to be installed in my Nubia Z18. Can you tell me when this rom can get out? Your effort is highly appreciated.

Sorry but I can't give you any ETA on this. I'm working on it in my little free time and I'm not even sure what I'm really doing with this. The source is all on the GitHub repo I linked in the OP though, so if you're hesitant and want to get a working ROM, just get involved. It's really not that hard, all it requires is time, patience and lots of googling for weird error messages and further features you want to implement.
You can mostly follow the guide here https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/build just replace the bacon command with nx606j-eng and you're good to go and build this yourself. Maybe you can figure out avb since I can't do it by myself, so any help is appreciated.

Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your reply. Last day i tried to push a TWRP from here TWRP installed, but failed to install any gaapps. although process said success.

Yeah, that thread, if most of the development threads on the Z18 so far, was made by me. I also mentioned in post #3 that flashing Gapps doesn't seem to be working and I was trying to ask the GApps team for help. I never got an answer though, so I stopped looking into this and instead focused my effort on providing a working Lineage build for everyone. The result of that is this thread here

Hey curtisy, are u building lineage OS forZ18 right now?
im chinese and can help to test this rom if need tester, I've a Z18 on hand rite now and still finding a solution to solve the "GAPP" problem
try to flash GAPP package but no luck!
hope the Lineage can release soon for testing~tks!

I'm not building it right now. As I said, the project is pretty much on standby for anyone to take it where I left it but I'm still working on it sometimes and try to get it to work. The big issue is that the Z18 uses avb2 which I'm not sure how to bypass and which is also why the Lineage I built will not boot correctly. I don't want to seem rude saying this over and over again, but rather than testing, it would help if I had some more people to get involved. Just download the source and follow the instructions I mentioned in post#4. Progress will be much faster if there was a team behind this and not only one guy who doesn't know what he's doing most of the time. Also getting support in the Lineage IRC is tedious because I can't be online 24/7, so having some more people nag about avb2 there would also be of huge help.
And when there finally is something to test, not only will you be satisfied by your own achievement, but you can also be the initial tester since you built the ROM yourself.
PS: The Gapps issue is probably because of avb2 as well, however I'm not too sure about that

OK I understand your situation, probably not as many ppl own this phone at all...there are many ppl doing developement in Oneplus 6 which I actually own that phone, the Z18 is actually my fd, therefore I cannot keep the phone long...just wonder if there have more ppl involve to this...the "avb2" I'll check to see if anyone on the net doing this, haha! the only solution is more developer involve to this phone!

As a quick update for everyone here as well because the discussion has somewhat shifted to the TWRP thread I worked around avb now. I also have a system.img but it's not working as of yet. If you want to get stuck in a boot loop, feel free to ask here and I'll attach the files in the OP for you to try and modify. Without building from source, there's probably not that much you can do though.

Thanks! Going to try that later but out of curiosity, isn't the reason this phone doesn't have google services out of the box that it wasn't certified by google? If so it's not treble compatible either right? Or am I missing something?

An uncertified device can be freely Treble compatible, so it's really worth to try. Remember to join the Telegram chat of phh-treble if you happen to need some quicker response.

Alright, I tried and I don't think it's working. I get stuck in a bootloop again which repeats every few seconds.
Since I got Lineage compiled, wouldn't it be a better idea to just get that working and be done with it?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hello curtisy, I wish you good luck with your work on the Nubia Z18. I'd love to help you, but unfortunately I have no skills at android developing. Anyway... in case you will get LineageOS to run, I'd be very happy to post an instruction for the installation on my website chinahandys.net. Liebe Grüße, Joscha

Booting non-GSI will only be tougher :/ Capture deep level logs and inspect that. If you need help, join a phh-treble chat somewhere.

Yeah that's actually the same point I stopped at with Lineage. Got it to boot to the Nubia logo, captured logs and I can see some weird errors. But getting replies on IRC is a pain, especially if I can only be online for 2hrs a day. That's why I had hoped someone would pick this up but to no avail. Guess I'll have to look into it again and experiment.
Thanks for your help so far! If there's any more tips you want to share, I'm always open for them

Hey, sure thing I actually know the site well and got the idea of getting a Z18 from your site. In case you know anyone that might be able to help with logs or anything, I'm always open for suggestions and help.
As a general rule of thumb, so far the process isn't exactly easy because it requires proprietary software. The issue is with boot verification, so to get around that, I rooted my phone with some Chinese Windows application (still trying to reverse that to get the actual keys..) then I could start flashing. The process is tedious though as every failure means reflashing the original rom as well as running the root tool again. I'll try to make it simpler and cross platform once the rom actually works. But it's still a long way to that point.

Question Xiaomi 13 GSI

Hi! Has anyone tried to flash a GSI rom on Xiaomi 13? If yes how does it work?
Thanks in advance

Currently there is no GSI working on this model AFAIK. Wait for device specific ports instead.

EDIT: This is not true. See the replies below.

Have you tried any of these? Does it works on Xiaomi 13? Thank you in advance

Nope, I don't install gsi rom on my devices.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1/2 ARM64(V9) - X86.
GSI on Xiaomi 12 Pro
after testing several Treble GSis, I finally found CherishOS. Most of them are not booting, or other issues (no mobile data, only calling, settings are crashing,....). Save your time and choose CherishOS. How I flashed it: 1. clean flash...

They may have others with less bugs or updates.

As written above, do research on devices with the same soc, One plus, Samsung etc.
There are surely some with little or no bug.

Thank you!

I am using Project elixir for almost 2 weeks now. So far so good.
I suggest you dont flash it but instead usi it via DSU. Autobrightness is not working, fingerprint too. There are gcam ports wich are also compatible with our device. Battery life is better than miui. Even adding a card to google wallet works fine, until a reboot.

Sorry but what do you mean with "use it via DSU"? What does DSU mean? Is there a tutorial for it? Thank you in advance!

You shouldve just used google to understand better. But basically its a subsystem method wich was implemented to allow a/b partition devices to be able to run gsis' for testing purposes, without the need of flashing and deleting the original os. Think of it as dualboot for android. The only thing is that if you're using it via dev settings, you dont have the choice of selecting what to boot, but your device will directly download google's official gsi (wich is not very functional and its ugly).
Thats why you just need to download the DSU Sideloader app from PlayStore. The app will do everything with a gsi of your choice if you follow the instructions.
The only thing wich is mandatory is that the BL of your device must be unlocked in order to use dsu.
There are videos on YT showing this. If you want to try the gsi I mentioned, download it from their website.

No problem, I dont mind explaining, but there are pretty detailed articles, wich may enlighten you better than I can do it. Anyways, if/when you try it you'll really understand how much MIUI is ruining the experience of that pretty device. I was thinking about selling it 3 days after i got it, only because of that deprecated UI with stupid restrictions. I'm really glad i searched and tried stuff. Good luck!
