Since this has been asked a few times
Multi windows support is not in by default
You need to cherry-pick this to include it in your build
https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/53/
thank you,
I added it into my p5110 build, i'll let you know if it works well.
edit:: working well
I won't lie, I plan to build Omni today as my first-ever Android build. It may go hilariously badly, it may go wonderfully. Is it in the command line that I cherry-pick that piece of code? The rest I think I can figure out myself. Thanks in advance.

You probably will want to do a "repo start" first, otherwise your commit will be clobbered on sync.
e.g. from the root of the source tree:
Code:
repo start work frameworks/base

Thank you both. Very helpful. It's wonderful receiving help from the developers, especially since this will be my first build

you tried this mate?
Code:
git fetch [url]https://gerrit.omnirom.org/android_frameworks_base[/url] refs/changes/53/53/19 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
before that u must be inside ~/android/omni/frameworks/base if i im rigth, u get there by
Code:
cd ~/android/omni/frameworks/base
someone correct me if im wrong pls.

Exactly as copied and pated from the cherrypick itself, yep.
I was, however, in ~/android/omni/.repo/projects/frameworks/base, though. Now I got it fixed and inserted. thanks!
on my way to being a ROM hacker/compiler, then later developer
EDIT: Will the sources for this rescync automatically when I repo sync, or will I have to also re-cherry pickk this every few days?

If you do a "repo start" before cherry-picking, repo will try to automatically rebase when syncing. It will not sync newer patchsets though.
thanks, very useful.
just to know, why isn't it yet merged ?

Because it still has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out?
Unfortunately, since Omni went public, we've had a ton of device support stuff to work with people on, so the more difficult items have temporarily stalled.

sadly i would say.
BBQ was a great timing but people went crazy on omni, which is a good and a bad thing ^^
i've built omni for my device, with the commit, and it's nice, but currently, it's nearly strictly an AOSP, which is a bit frustrating
keep the hard work, courage to all the omni dev !

Yeah, I would've liked to have polished things a bit more - but the BABBQ was an opportunity we didn't want to miss.
yep,
anyway, great work. what you guys need now is to keep that alive, and to limit the time spent on bringing devices, better enhance the rom.
Rom builders will join the effort for all the rom stuff, especially as it's really easy (i've bring my device in a dozen of minutes, from a CM branch. needs polishing but works)
Does anyone have the last patch set for multiwindow the 4.3 branch? It seems like the past two weeks worth of patches were lost after the Gerrit server hard drive failure, and I just got my first build done yesterday so I'm not sure what I can cherry pick to test out multiwindow. The last comment remaining seems to imply that the last patch set was broken.

Are you cherry picking back to 4.3 or doing a 4.4 build? Let us know how it goes! I just set up a build this weekend for my N8013 but Gerrit was down so I couldn't get multiwindow, and when it came back the Gerrit ticket was missing two weeks worth of patches as I mentioned so I was feeling like it would be risky to try to apply it.

and money for server(am before salary).. my laptop is too weak..
instructions:
1 read how to make build enviroment
2 read readme from their github https://github.com/SOKP/platform_manifest
3 clone or dwnld sources from official cm p880 device and kernel kk trees + themuppets vendor sources and place them properly
4 change boardconfig.mk p800.mk cm.mk and eventually cm.dependencies just like other ppl was making in other roms (commits named like : liquidify, slimify or namelessify omnify blahblah)
5 compile
6 test
7 maybe profit.

I think its possible. JBQ responded with positive answer on google groups. Please have a look.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/repo-discuss/yUslU8J76Rs
Code:
You can re-run repo init in your existing client. You can skip the -u parameter to use the same server, and just specify -b.
You can make a local copy of your client first, so that you can have both a kitkat and a lollipop client.

I'm having problem dual boot so can run ububtu on virtual application by running IOS file??
*EDIT* This thread is now based upon the work by @fattire and @slayher, who got it up on the 910T. For that phone see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/unoffcial-cm-12-0-t-mobile-note-4-t2964887
This thread is for dev's interested to help out porting CM12 to our device. I've researched for info regarding CM ports and good information is actually quit scarce. A dev might post something like 'hmm stuck at boot anim' and then the next day 'got it, booting now !' without explaining what he did to solve it. I want to change that, so this thread can serve as a guide for other first time porters too (this is also my first porting project), documenting every step as in much detail as possible.
For ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...official-cm-12-0-910f-note-4-trltexx-t2987412
Please use this thread for R&D/development ONLY !!!
Ok, I'm really starting from scratch and never done any phone ROM porting. I've just made a new virtual disk running ubuntu and am currently downloading the CM12 repo. I figured, how to get even started here. I figured that the goals we need to attain in this order:
1) compile the kernel samsung supplied
2) make sure we can boot into kernel
3) get ADB up and running
4) get CM12 starting up, even the bootanim alone would be a nice goal to reach
5) Booting into homescreen
6) Fixing all stuff like modem, wifi etc etc etc
Anyway, I'm currently downloading CM12 sources as we speak ...
This is by the way a link I found very useful: http://www.androidenea.com/2009/08/init-process-and-initrc.html It describes the Android init process, cause I was wondering, how to even start all this ? How to get from kernel to CM booting: that's where init.rc should come into play of course
Good luck this is a long project. I build carbonrom for another phone where everything for cm was allready fixed. I would start with a phone that allready has support to learn how the process goes. You can brick your phone and it's a process of trail and error... But I hope you manage good luck!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean ? If the phone already has support, then what's there to port ? Or do you mean building CM itself ? That I've done quite a few times already, did quite a bit of work on the i9500, fixing RILD issue's, kernel issue's and other stuff.
soo...maybe m wrong (has been a while snce ive ported) but im goin to drop a few lines anyhow......
porting is very different from source building.....the only reason you would need to dl the cm sources would be to compile the rom using sources...and right now the note 4 has none we would need device,kernel,common,vendor sources for that....so... we cant source build right now only port....sp what we need to do is research which device officially or unofficially that has cm with same specs as the note4 things like screen size, board, things of that nature....and would highly recommend using the same carrier as well.....but once we have that info....dl that phones cm rom zip....dl one of our phones rom zips.....now for the fun....ill lay out a way i did it maybe is the same still ...
place both cm zip and note 4 zip on desktop..
create a new folder call it new
drag all files from the cm zip into the new
open the new and open the note 4 zip have them side by side
now your going to drag pretty much all folders/files from the note 4 system folder into the new sytsem folder one folder at a time excluding:
app,priv-app,etc,fonts,media,framework,xbin (im probably forgetting one or two but has been a long time)
now the fun begins....time to edit some xmls and trial and error on pretty much everything until it is working right
you are also going to want to change out the kernel and have to edit the updater-script in the meta-inf....
im positive im forgetting a few things but this is pretty much what i can remember......from off the top of my head...some of the guides ill link in a bit will go into greater detail and explain things more in depth
a few links ive had bookmarked that will help ya

Great addition to the thread ! Hmm I haven't done any porting myself. I figured once we have a kernel up (compiling it should be easy), then what's stopping us from booting CM ? I mean of course RILD won't work if we don't have a JNI (or what's it called on ART, ANI ? ) interface to the modem. Of course we won't have NFC, internet, telephony, all that. But merely booting a graphical interface that should be doable with Nexus 6 source code, right ? I mean all we need is SoC sources so we have cpu & graphics working, right ? So That was what I had in mind myself but your approach actually is quite the same now I think of it
Thread is moved to general AGAIN. Hehe. Starting a development thread ON XDA and have it in the developer section seems harder than porting CM12 Anyway I guess it doesn't matter in which section it is, as long as n00bs and trolls stay out and we can focus on development only.
Anyway, downloading kernel sources as we speak ...
BTW, here is Nexus 6 source code: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-nexus-6-factory-images/
Going to down that right now too ...
Ok, building kernel as we speak. I just installed the arm-eabi-4.7 toolchain, like this:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.7/
And then edited the makefile and issued the 3 commands all as specified in README_Kernel.txt from the Samsung Kernel. So far so good
And yes, as expected, build breaks:
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs_test.c:25:19: fatal error: ../sd.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [drivers/scsi/ufs/ufs_test.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/ufs] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Hehe, Samsung wouldn't be Samsung if they would supply a kernel that actually builds from the start Going to investigate ...
Actually that seems like an easy fix, just linked the file correctly
And a new break:
In file included from drivers/gud/MobiCoreDriver/logging.c:21:0:
drivers/gud/MobiCoreDriver/main.h:24:22: fatal error: platform.h: No such file or directory
I'd say it's looking for the file in platforms/MSM8960_SURF_STD, going to link it correctly ...
And building again ...
n file included from drivers/video/msm/mdss/mdss_mdp_trace.h:255:0,
from drivers/video/msm/mdss/mdss_mdp.c:61:
include/trace/define_trace.h:79:43: fatal error: ./mdss_mdp_trace.h: No such file or directory
Include should point to kernel includes, fixing it again
And building again ...
Code:
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
LZO arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzo.o
LD arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
Kernel ready Of course that was the easy part, hehe, but still, progress. Tomorrow going to start with the difficult part, getting CM up
I've ported before but only tw where it was mainly framework edits. Never worked with cm before but like the op I'm keen to learn. If i can help at all just let me know, I use linux mint myself rather than Ubuntu but they're very similar
So, just downloaded Nexus 6 sources. It seems that directory /device/moto/shamu contains the device hardware stuff we need ! Going to research some more today ...
*EDIT* also mind the propietary-blobs.txt in that directory. I'm still waiting for my Note 4 myself (hopefully friday), but this needs to be compared with the files on the device, cause if they exist, they will be blobs of course and we need them.
Hello XDA,
As all of you may know there is a 4G LTE version of the Moto G 2nd Generation, better known under the model number XT1072 and XT1079. Unfortunately almost all ROMs are created for the titan. While the titan ROMs boot just fine because of the almost exact HW, when installing those ROMS we don't get 4G and the speakers and earpeace, especially while calling, get unusable.
So instead of sitting on my butt and asking LUK to develop a 4G patch, can anyone guide me ? I know how to setup the SDK and know the theory about compiling from source but have never done it. Do we have to recompile something or can I just replace certain files with some other files from the (one and only) CM12.1 port for the THEA ?
This must be doable I think.

Hello XDA,
As all of you may know there is a 4G LTE version of the Moto G 2nd Generation, better known under the model number XT1072 and XT1079. Unfortunately almost all ROMs are created for the titan. While the titan ROMs boot just fine because of the almost exact HW, when installing those ROMS we don't get 4G and the speakers and earpeace, especially while calling, get unusable.

It's easy but I'm not going to help in dirty ports. Build roms from source instead, this is my recommendation.
If you want to learn how to build roms from source I can help you but you'll need to have Linux machine to do that.

Thanks for the reply Luk, I also think that building from source is the same. I have followed many, many guides but somehow the part where I have to point to the thea specific HW blobs fails. The extract-files.sh points to ./../../$VENDOR/msm8226-common/setup-makefiles.sh [email protected] wich I understand is the motorola folder in the WORKING_DIRECTORY. Somehow I can't find the right repo on github to point it at.
Sorry for the noobish Q... There is a first time for everything.
EDIT: I wanted to say that I think that porting from source is better, not the same.

You could use blobs from TheMuppets instead: https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola

Thanks !!
I was really confused and got the CM12 branch instead the first time. Lol now I feel like a noob haha (wich I am when it comes to developing).
Will post here if I have any Questions/errors (that google can't help me with).
:good:

Also don't use git clone manually, make your local_manifests xml instead.

Oh okay, I will look into that in a minute.
Now I got an issue that really got my head hurting... When I do the lunch command, my Moto G isn't in the list of devices... What Am I doing wrong ?
I have got a directory called thea in WORKING_DIRECTORY/device/moto/thea
I have got also an old thea directory (cm12.1) in WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea and WORKING_DIRECTORY/thea2
All the blobs from TheMuppits repo are in de device/moto/thea dir
All the poperiatary blobs are also in the XT907 dir...
I've done the
Code:
cd /device/moto/thea
init android-5.1.1_rx
repo sync
and let it finish without errors.
Once I get over this I will be good to go.
Oh, and thanks for sharing the knowledge !

Your directories are bit off, it should be looking like this.
CM/device/motorola/msm8226-common
CM/device/motorola/thea
CM/device/qcom/sepolicy
CM/device/qcom/common
CM/kernel/mototola/msm8226
CM/vendor/motorola
Don't forget about rest of CM source :3

If you're building CM then all you have to do is to get vendor, do envsetup.sh and just brunch thea.

I'm trying to build an AOSP build like yours to learn. I'm following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tutorial-compile-lollipop-ubuntu-t2929410
I guess it is similar in steps as what you described ?
Even with all the files in the correct directories when I exec the lunch command it doesn't list the moto G. See screenshot.

You won't get clean AOSP to build, also u messed up directories as you put vendor in device.
If you have hangouts you can add me ( https://plus.google.com/108108436166506337243 ) so I could help you live.
