[q] att htc pure help

Hello everybody! I am new here, i just signed up yesterday and this website only lets me post in this general area. Here is the background: I have an ATT HTC PURE phone that I am not using. I want to try and install android on this phone but I do not know how and what to use. Can someone please guide me in regards to this issue? I want to be able to use the phone as an internet device for home use with my home wifi. Any or all help is appreciated! Thank you to everyone who helps!

Have a read here.
I do not think the system has been perfected so read the latest posts to see what bugs there are.
Also may be other ROMs available in the Android section.

[Q] How to build/port roms onto our device (Galaxy Exhibit 4g/Exhibit II 4g)

Hey everybody, I've seen numerous threads in general about porting, in general, but what about building a rom specifically for our device, what would that take? I've seen the android "kitchen" post on building roms, but the exhibit II isn't supported. I have also noticed that almost all our roms are ported from other devices. Is there any particular reason for that?
Are there any threads here about that, since I haven't found any?
And if not, could any of you guys help me learn.
I have a computer with 6gigs ram, i5 2nd Gen, and a giganormous hard drive, dual booting win7 and Ubuntu 12.10, but well, I need help learning all of this stuff.
Thank You, in advance.
EDIT: Mods, please move this thread to the correct section

first off this should be in q&a
but here ya go anyway http://www.kernel-xp.net/index.php/en/guide/25-android/32-compilare-cm10
dont limit your searches to xda google is your best friend

Thank you, please pardon my noobiness, but thank you for that Info, I'll definitely remember it.

You may post this in dev section so that devs can help u

If you're looking for help before even looking at logcat - then trying to help you is pointless. You need to read and learn a lot first. Seems like you didn't even read the 2nd post in the guide you've linked.

Look...My first thing is I need someone to teach me this...This tutorial is extremely simple and I don't think this will work... It says this tutorial is for armv6 to v7 and this Is v7 to armv7 and this is of 2012 and I am porting a 4.4.4 rom..Yes I will agree I didn't use a logcat.. But I don't even think this is gonna work out.
That's Why I am asking for help..Help me to learn...

You don't need someone to teach you this, because you won't find anyone that will want to do it. It takes A LOT of time to teach someone, time that nobody will invest. Thus - start by relying only on yourself. Read, read and read some more. And I'll write it again, if the first time it didn't go through: without looking at logcat nobody can help you, and you won't be able to help yourself. Now use some Google, read what logcat does, what causes bootloops, make 2+2 in your head, and do the rest. If you find the error - you might be able to fix it, if you don't know what I'm talking about and don't want to read - forget about porting or doing anything. And anyway, porting ROMs would probably be the last thing to do for anyone trying to get a grip on ROMs, because it's usually too complex for a beginner when the physical HW isn't very much alike.
And if you're writing armv6, v7 and arm7v as 3 different instruction sets - then I already think I've wasted 5 min on writing this message for nothing. Search and read about things before you showcase ignorance.

Here you go.

Built AOSP extended, sort of works. Someone give me a clue?

I posted in the main Android forum for help, but it's so busy there! I figured I may get some help in a more relevant device community. To avoid reposts, here is the original thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-build-source-failed-make-otapackage-t3831440
Big thanks to Psy_Man, I used his device tree and kernel to build.
If anyone wants to try my build it's here (use opengapps nano, stock seems to crash the setup wizard, probably because it removes webview). Everything seems to work but I have no clue how to fix anything so don't bother sending me logcats

Maybe (very probably) I missed something but in your thread asking for help you say the problem is build doesn't complete, error at 99%, but then you do have a build that I think (from what some guys say in telegram) boots and all. So what do you need the help for exactly?
On the other hand I always found help posting my problems in the complete android rom development source to end thread, the one with like 900 pages and going....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763

you should post on development section, if you want to keep updating the ROM, many people will try your ROM and help to test it and maybe will help for the solutions too.

I am a complete Linux noob, I have literally never used a compiler before in my life. Yes my build works and boots (which I am amazed at because it's my first try) but I need help in understanding why one way worked and the other way didn't. Thanks for the tip about the development guide

I would post there, need to get my post count up first :laugh:

I made another test build after setting up my own github account, this time no compile errors at all, and I got an xxx-UNOFFICIAL.zip this time like I'm supposed to! Who knows why it didn't work the first time, but i'm (very) slowly getting the hang of this

Have made a build that works properly now, will make a dev page as soon as i'm allowed. if anyone wants to try it out it's here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SQGaI4U0KeQQKJwq6EyRsa2VQph91oHA
