Hello,
Could somebody give me links, initial instructions or an overview of how to adapt the crDroid custom rom to be able to install also on the Teclast t40 pro ?
Or in other words... Which changes should be made (and a general how-to) to that rom once obtained its source code, to add support for a new device, in this case that tablet ?
I am a software developer in .NET with some linux experience also, and this could give me the opportunity to learn something big'n new...
Thanks in advance !
It's so sad that nobody can give me a hand on this; At least a general intro. Ok, I will forget about it and I'll change my little goals in life to something more useful and productive.
Have a nice day.
Hello try this

Because I saw some requests for a build guide for crDroid (ROM with many added features based on CM) I decided to make one. Please report if it worked. If you have errors I will try my best to resolve them. Please read everything carefully...

Thanks
I hope you are very successful in this process.

Hi,
I'm following the Nexus S Android Development for 6 month now and Rom and Kernel flashing is a a real addiction for me (I flash everyday).
And, since the beginning i want to create my own Rom.
At first, I want to build one from another one (Cyanogen or another).
So, If someone can give me tutos, tools, tips and advices, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks to everybody, waiting for your help.

Hey you know i find myself sharing this exact interest as you. Let's collaborate and learn this Create A ROM Project
Notice to see the motivation to create a new ROM.
How good are your Linux skills? If you want to do it all properly I suggest you try and build your own AOSP ROM first (from the Adroid Open Source Project).
This is the place where Google publishes the Android source code files. Actually the site is fantatic and guides you through the entire process, but it does require you to understand the basics of the maketools in Linux.
Once you've been able to compile the source, you'll actually have a perfect stock ROM version of Android. Then, you can start doing advanced things to it. Add a different Kernel, add apps, install tweak scripts etc etc etc, the options are endless.

Good luck and have fun, because it is

Thank you again.

Hi All,
I've been reading these forums for sometime now. Until now I've only been here as a user of roms not as a developer.
However, on my current project I had the requirement to get an android distribution running on a beaglebone black embedded board. As there are a lot of experienced rom developers here I would like to ask my question here.
Currently I'm successfully booting the kernel. It also seems to get to the actual homescreen. However, it seems that I'm currently in a bootloop a when I reach the homescreen. I get thrown back to the boot animation.
My guess is that there is some kind of memory issue here. More specifically the vmalloc part.
I get the following error in the dmesg when the homescreen crashes:
binder: 1804: binder_alloc_buf failed to map pages in userspace, no vma
Can anyone confirm that this is good explanation and tell me how I should adres this issue? Or maybe provide me with some other tips?
I tried to increase the vmalloc size but I'm not really able to do so. if I enter the vmalloc=512M command on the uboot it doesn't really change the size...
Thanks
Hi there,
You must read some guides and tutorials for that. Starting from:
1. This guide about how to port different ROMs to your device.
2. This guide about how to port AOSP ROMs to your device.
3. This guide about how to port a ROM to your device.
4. This guide about how to create a new ROM for your device.
5. This guide for ROM development beginners.
6. This guide in xda university for building your own android rom.
7. This guide in xda university for porting an aosp rom from source.
There are also instructions on the cyanogen mod wiki site about it.
A good place to ask if you have questions about it or need help, is Chef Central - Android. Many devs are watching this forum and can help quickly.
Good luck
How could I be able to build/port bugless Android 7 (Nougat) for MT65xx based devices (Specifically MT6582 device "Mine is Infinix Hot X507")? I am looking for building/porting a bugless Lineage OS/Resurrection Remix/AOSP/... latest release ROMs for my MT6582 device. I've no experience in building/porting Android ROMs. My question could be what are the topics/guides I need to learn from in order to have the skills of the person who is able to build/port a bugless Nougat version for my device?
It doesn't matter the topics/guides are for porting/building (also is it easy/hard), however the more convenient approach for me is the one by which I could have a bugless fully device-compatible ROM at the end.
I have good programming knowledge base and dealing with command line software. Also I will start learning Linux Kernel in few weeks after my exams.
I need your valuable help and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Research/Outcomes till now:
■ I have read a little about porting. I understood that first I need a to-be-Port-ed ROM of another phone having the same CPU. I have found one here, but unfortunately it has some bugs. The publisher says that this version is unstable and needs someone to build it for MT6582. I'm looking for being able to have the skills to be that person .

First of all, chances are high you won't get a fully bugless one at the very first boot.there will be device specific files that causes minor bugs which you can only find and fix after the ROM boots successfully. This should be your primary objective,there are lot of guides for porting mediatek devices you can follow guides for marshmallow ROMs as its similar.
But i must it will be easier trying a marshmallow or lollipop roms first if youre new,anyway I wish you Good luck:good:
- Now to the ROM (trust me I know all about it)
It is based on 3.10.103 kernel so first you have to build one for your device. basic things like data aren't working in this beta release.
The publisher says he needs someone to build it for mt6582? Well,**** .
Building ROMs/kernels aren't easy but I'll tell you what is though ,stealing someone's days of work, put it in your blog without even giving some credits,this youtuber may not know about it so...I'm not gonna do anything about it
Will this build be fixed? It was ditched because of the above mentioned problem but I/other devs may release another stable build for our device(lenovo a5000) but it may or may not be available to the public
Edit :it's out now
Hello, I am very new to everything. My knowledge is basically limited to using Linux. Could someone tell me where I can find the documentation of how to build TWRP and LineageOS for an unknown phone.
Or tell me what the general process is.
I cannot understand anything, when trying to understand I feel like being faced to a wall and not understanding how the hell it works.
Thanks in advance,
Snow

Good morning, I have a Samsung Galaxy s5, I would like to change the ROM for carbonROM cr-9.0 (if I am not mistaken, it is the latest version), I currently have lineageOS 18.1, the problem is that there is currently no updated carbonROM support for my device So, I would like to know how I can adapt a ROM to be compatible with my device, I understand that it is something that requires work, but I want to know the steps that I should follow to be able to adapt a ROM, things to keep in mind, that programs to use, useful links, all the information you can give me, I would greatly appreciate it.

You would have to build your own ROM using a mixture of the updated Lineage 18.1 ROM or the Lineage source code that it was built from and the carbonROM ROM or the carbonROM source code that was used to build your current carbonROM.
If you don't know how to build from source, you will have to try porting the carbonROM by mixing elements of the carbonROM and the LineageOS ROM. There are guides available that give a "rough" outline of how to port Samsung ROMs.
You can find guides and videos by doing a Google search for:
"How to port Samsung custom ROMs"
That should find some results but none of them are complete 100% start to finish guaranteed to work. It will require doing some research, reading, asking questions when you run into roadblocks along with a lot of trial and error testing and fixing mistakes along the way until you get a working generally bug free ROM.
All in all, you're probably better off just using the LineageOS 18.1 that you currently have.
