Hi,
because I don't have permission for writing in nook color development thread - I will post it here:
PDROID patch files for the Mirage Kang build 05272012
can be downloaded here:
working patch CWMzip:

Do you mind me asking which patcher you used?
(Not that the effectiveness of the files you posted depend on it, I am just curious.)

Hi mateorod,
1st of all, thank You for your great support in the xda forums! AND for your PDroid app!!!
(BTW, I've sent a review of your product to a local radio station in berlin, gemany - they discussed safety-issues of Android device/software in a technical report.)
PDROID patcher 1.32 failed for this...
PDROID patcher 1.31/Win7 did the job.

P.S. I'm looking for a solution to implement the patches in a Custom ICS ROM 'VegaCream' for Advent-Vega tablets and clones. It has a squashfs r/o system-file in the CWM-zip because of small RAMspace, that I can unsquash/resquash on PC side...
Any ideas?
Thanx
Depends how "custom" it is, you know?
If it is mostly based off of CM9, AOKP or AOSP with tweaks and mods, then you can for sure do a build patch. You might even have a chance with the ICS auto-patcher, depending on the degree of derivation from source.
The build patches are on post 1 and the auto-patcher is post 4
I see you have Win 7, but since you're dealing with squashfs, do you have cygwin or something? I don't know if windows handles squashfs, but the ICS auto-patcher is just Linux right now. And of course, to patch anything on a PC, let alone build, you'll need Linux as well.
The auto-patcher's Gingerbread patches were actually made from Mirage, so if you want 1.3.2, you could use this patcher for sure.
Let me know how it goes, would you?

Whoa...maybe you edited this as I was responding, or maybe I just missed it the first time...
Just an FYI, I don't have what you'd really call a product. I work somewhat extensively with a bunch of other people's software, making it available to devices or OS's they aren't otherwise. That's really it.
Svyat is PDroid's dev, me and pastime1971 just ported it to ICS and made the patcher.
Hi,
thanx for the response.
The squashfs thing I will work out on a mac - squashfs tools are working under mac osx...
Will have a look for the possibilities today evening.
The Berlin radio station RBB 88.8 will publish a small review about Pdroid and patcher on coming saturday. They/we have researched all informations about svyat's app and yours patches. If I get a handout of the RBB publisher's article, I will post it here.

Well, how about that. Glad to see the interest.
If you have a link to the ROM, I could run it through a patcher for you, although no promises, sight unseen, that it'll work.
I have been using custom roms on my Nexus 6 for a while now, but really want to try to develop my own. I have some programming experience, but would like to know if anyone has any guides on how to get started. I would mainly like it to be for my personal use, with only the features I need. I would like it to be AOSP based too. If anyone could offer any help it would be much appreciated.
Learn to build AOSP for your phone first, and how to use git, then go from there.

Thanks. I am installing ubuntu right now.
The hardest part is troubleshooting a build failure. You can find step-by-step instructions on the internet, but going through logs and troubleshooting is a PITA. You have to start somewhere and going through the troubleshooting process will give you loads of experience. I've seen people progress very fast once they get their feet wet. Good luck :good:

Many of us prefer Linux Mint. Close to Windows and stable. There are many good tuts for building from source. Look for tuts from Scrosler, FHEM and Syko. They all enter twined and and do tuts for N6.

I dual boot Mint and Win 10. No problems even after upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10.

FHEM also has a tut I think for building your own GIT.

I went from Ubuntu to Mint. I think I prefer Ubuntu. In fact Mint makes me want to buy a new laptop and stick windows on it.

Using to build roms and kernels we found Mint to be more stable. Been running it for months. Had to rebuild Ubuntu every few days. Lol

Never had an issue building on Ubuntu at all. Built on many versions since Gingerbread. I never set mint up as a build environment. Mint is basically Ubuntu anyway so they should build identically. But I find Mint unstable in everyday use. Particularly the use of browsers

Yes, I've had since then. However, this is all github'ed, compile tested, and ready for forking.

Indeed, I recommend folks clone this:
https://github.com/jcadduono/android_kernel_zte_msm8996/commits/stock-6.0
It's merged into CAF and allows future CAF merges without any issues. I updated it just the other day. Very clean kernel from ZTE, I've been really impressed.
From my stock-6.0 branch you can just run ./build.sh to compile a Image.gz and ./dtbgen.sh is automatically run after build to create a dtb.img.
I dont recommend using Image.gz-dtb as dtb building was not correctly set up by ZTE and I haven't bothered fixing it. Separated dtb.img works great though.
DEFCONFIG=zte_defconfig
DEVICE_DEFCONFIG=device_ailsa_ii
Otherwise you can use opensource-caf branch which is pure ZTE with no build modifications or scripts from me.
As for flashing kernels you build, check out LazyFlasher installer at:
https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher
It will dynamically replace kernel image and dtb, and has a folder to put patch shell scripts. dm verity and forced encryption disabling already included as an example. Supports LZ4, Gzip, Bzip2, and LZO so far. Readme has more info. Avoids the need to constantly update ramdisks, and other branches have examples of things like SuperSU policy mod.
Hey guys, I am a developer thinking of buying this great cell phone. I've never tried to develop kernels or ROMs but I would love to learn and contribute to this community.
How could be the easiest way to learn and to start working in things related with this phone?
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for all the info!
@TeutonJon78 Maybe it would be beneficial to add these infos to the OP?
So...now we have two competing TWRP/device tree setups. @jcadduono and @Unjustified Dev it might make sense to keep them similar as make sure there aren't competing versions running around and making support harder.
Edit: I also updated the title of the thread to reference a more generic change -- just listing all known github resources.

Well first of all you need the cellphone but it is heavily back-ordered, you can pre-order it now and you might or might not get it on 09/09/16.
I pre-ordered a month ago so I'll get my Gray Axon 7 on monday 08/22/16 (already have the tracking number), I would be willing to sacrifice it (selling it to you) if you want it, for the full price of course ($400 plus shipping). No means to sell anything, I'm not here to sell phones BUT if it is for a developer I'll do it and sacrifice a couple more weeks of wait time. All for the team.

Hey thanks Recon Freak. Are you going to start developing for this phone? Who are the developers that want to be involved porting CM for the Axon 7.
It would be great to have a master dev on porting ROMs and lp him with the process. Otherwise are there any devs interested on porting CM to this phone?
Thanks.

Can't wait for CM14, although qualcomm won't release new drivers for gpu. So I do not know, if it is worth to wait.. But our devs are geniuses, maybe the current driver packages will work, too..

Cool, yeah I found the generic Linux Kernel 4.0 description right there on the readme page. That does not tell me what is special about this kernel. I am not going to read through every single file on github to find out what is special about this kernel. It seems that nothing is special at all, or else the developer would want to make it quite clear what stands his work apart from the rest of the pile.
