Hi
I follow a tutorial to build a rom, but i blocked at the step to find device tree.
In this step https://github.com/AOSB/android
So i would like to know if someone who as already built a rom, what branch tree i have to tap.
thanks in advance !

By "custom" you mean based on stock roms or AOSP-derived?

both
depending on what an developer wants to build
What will the impact of this project be on areas that have been problems for aosp projects such as hardware drivers ?

1 kernel to rule them all means that 1 hal fixed in 1 device works on all devices
1 patch merged in kernel to fix something fixes same problem on all devices

I hope I'm not presumptuous or wrong: will it come with CWM and/or TWRP recovery versions?
Many thanks.

this is just source code so depends on developers on what android fork is used

Unless I'm mistaken, the sony source doesn't work with pure AOSP. All AOSP or derivatives roms use the CM android_kernel_sony_msm8974pro or forks of it.
My question is thus the following: is this kernel source compatible with AOSP or like "kernel-copyleft", only with stock rom derivatives?
My custom kernel works on the latter, but I need to use the "msm8974pro" trees for pure AOSP.
Unless I'm missing something?

Can't boot
@jerpelea I've compiled AOSP Lollipop and it boots fine. I've compiled the kernel from 3.5.2.2 branch of the unified kernel source and successfully made zImage. I've combined the zImage with the resulting dtb and the ramdisk from the AOSP build. I can't get the device to boot for some reason. It's stuck at the Sony boot logo. Did I miss a step ? I've searched online but couldn't get enough help about this.
Tried the same with Kitkat too but same result. Doesn't go past the sony boot logo.
UPDATE
Got it to work The command line argument in the guide provided has android boot device as qcom whereas the one compiled during AOSP has it as "shinano" Took me 1 build to understand this Back to work again
hi All
Busy weeks ....months ...
Progress so far
- unified 3.4 kernel is stable for daily use and community tweaking
As some of you have already seen we have started work on comunity 3.10 unified kernel
This kernel is not finished and not stable but is an invitation for developers to joyn, test and improve a kernel built "by community for community"

build guide has been updated for easy reading

hi all
kernel 3.10 is progressing nice
it can soon be used on SONY AOSP Project
master branch on devices uses 3.10 kernel
l-mr0 branch uses 3.4 kernel

hi all
3.10 is progressing nice
at this point can be used for L MR1 and shows good battery savings
more enhancements and bugfixes will come soon

Hi @jerpelea, which of the branches should be used for the 3.10 kernel?
I ll be appreciated that the unified kernel can support d6563.
Hello,
I want to make ROMs for the SP in LBL.
But I don't know how i can take a github or a repo like Bagyusz to build my own rom.
I take the CM12 source to build it.
Sorry for this noob question but i really want to contribute of the future of the SP and learn about build custom roms.
Thanks
@Furrydaus @MrSteve555 @neXus PRIME
I download the source of CM on my computer, but to do a build for LBL i have to download the manifest of MrSteve555 Github and apply patches, how can i do that ?
Thanks for your response !

Im posting a guide soon. Its coming in 1 hour
Can anyone upload the AOSP device tree for sprout to compile AOSP based ROM?
I'd like to build a proper Chroma ROM (the one currently built doesn't have supersu built in, no bootanimation, etc)
I cannot seem to build with CM's device tree, I've been messing with it all around to no avail
Thanks.

I hope this discussion help you have a look at it. And this too http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29077612/build-aosp-rom-with-cyanogenmod-device-files
Thanks, I finally figured out everything, AOSP doesn't do inline kernel building like CM so I need to make sure Android.mk exists on the kernel folder. That exactly what my problem is.
Happy to help...i hope we see numbsr of quality aosp builds from you.Aosp roms on this device has been a bit buggy uptill now.Best luck buddy.
Hello, guys I am planning to compile a 6.0.1 ROM from source but I cannot find CM13 Device tree.. I found kernel source of CM13 but not device tree
I hope somebody will provide me github link of CM13 Device tree of Sprout4.
