I agree this message is a bit long but it is worth reading.
- Thanks, but sorry. Even if I give you the links and even if spend your precious time you would only be able to fix the error 7.
- Actually I've already fixed that(or know what's the issue atleast). There are files that are missing from the directories that are listed in the updater script. They cannot be deleted as the original base ROM I compiled was from UA(unlegacy android) that are based on the newer sources.
- Some files that are required for MIUI are also missing.
- Boot.img is incomplete. Which will result in bootloop even if I upload the error 7 fixed ROM.
- I am giving my board exams that are one of the biggest exams in India. And I cannot afford to score less in these.
- All I need is a older base ROM ,CyanogenMod 11 made around may of 2016. And also it must support init.d because the port ROM requires that.
- I've taken permissions from the maker of the port ROM. He has allowed me to proceed.
- All I need is permission from Android-Andi, as only he has older CM ROMs.
- I cannot compile because older sources are not available or maybe I am not known to them
Hope you understand. Thank you.
P.S. - Android-Andi if you read this please reply. You are the only one who can help me(by providing me permissions to use your ROM as a base).
With best regards,
Kunal Gautam

Have you seen this CM 11? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/rom-cm-11-0-galaxy-tab-2-t3737392
Just made last month by @Deltadroid

Links are removed because *the ROM is not complete yet*.
Thanks, but I need to confirm a few things before I could use a ROM(includes init.d support and a bunch of other things). Also, it is very important that deltadroid provide me permission to use his ROM.
Thank you!
Regards,
KG
-----_edit_--------
I just saw deltadroid's thread, the title clearly says that the ROM is for p3110. I want to make a unified one. I need a ROM made with unified device tree.
If I do port, it will only work on p3110 and maybe on every 7" device. I don't want do this.
Sorry, but yeah thanks!
Just wait till 3 april 2018. Most probably I will upload.
Edit 2
Or I must say it an update. 75 percent of the work is done. Somehow I managed to get a base ROM(only I know how). Only build.prop editing and Updater script editing work left(these are the most difficult BTW).
Update coming soon. Stay tuned.

I've updated the links. I've uploaded the new ROM. I've done with porting(i guess). I've used a lot of time.
Flash and review!

No wonder the ROM doesn't work.... Security patch is in a wrong format.
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2080-17-March"
It should be, "ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-01"
or,
"ro.build.version.security_patch=2018-03-05"
And this, hardly doubt this will work, but idk.
"ro.build.date.utc=999999999999"
Mistakes....................
EDIT**** Build id should be the app id: example lets say the id is 678, on build.prop, it would say 678.
you have, "ro.build.id=KUNAL"

You, sir, definitely have a lot to offer. I am afraid that this is not the actual problem. By now, I surely understand the importance of logs. Would be very helpful if someone could arrange me them.
And about your post it seemed really rude, raw, insulting and manipulating to me. But however, helpful. It makes it really hard to continue developing for a 6 years old Tab, with hardware that has nothing to offer in 2018. At least, I am trying.
Since, this was an Alpha build(because I moved sources) these problems are sure to arise. I did the same(build.prop things) with my kinda successful ROM MIUI 5(see it in the 7" forums).
I guess you haven't tasted port ROMs yet. They are hard to build. Alike your compiling ones, you have source, type some commands, turn your computer on for about 5 hours, when done upload it.
I am sure you must have did trail and error (in chemistry and math) porting ROMs is just the same. I am sure, that as a developer, you must know what logs actually mean.
But whatever, thank you for you review(insult I guess).

Sorry, I won't give permissions after different people used my ROMs as base in the past without permissions. Hope there is a learning affect....
Since i love OpenSource: Sources are available on every official GitHub (slim, Omni, Lineage, UA) and up to date (note: I wouldn't have to do this, I could keep all device trees private but I am updating them for everyone - always). You'll have to compile your own base ROM to use for such port ROMs (I am not a fan of).

OSA Development

Since this thread is no longer just about me trying to get lollipop running on this phone (I AM still doing that though) I decided to 'rebrand' it as a general development thread for OSA. What's OSA? It stands for Only Some Android...ok so whats that? A team name I came up with to make myself feel more important (btw we're always looking for contributors).
So instead of focusing on just lollipop I will be discussing pretty much anything and everything I am doing in regards to the Desire 510.
Original Post Below:
Hi all, I am currently working on getting lollipop working on the Desire 510. So far I had a successful compile of LiquidSmooth 5.1.1 a couple nights ago but not a successful boot. I am currently 97% done syncing the CyanogenMod 12.1 sources (5.1.1 r3) and am now using the omni twrp sources to ensure a higher compatibility for the recovery, I am hoping for a successful boot soon.
I have the virgin mobile cdma model of the device and that's what I will be targeting although I will do my best to make sure the device tree is universal. If anyone has any insight or advice I am all ears.
I am going to use this thread as a development thread until I get the required 10 posts and I get a booting rom.

im pretty sure shinrus device tree has a unified irl,its here https://github.com/shinru2004/android_device_htc_a11 ,also,did you update the kernel you were using? our kernel doesnt have support for loli,all tho rbhero has a branch in his kernel tree that he said works on loli

Im working on all that, I'm looking into using the msm8974 kernel, from what I have read it's practically identical to the 8226, I am also using the a5 (desire 816) as a template since the two devices are so similar. Little by little I am getting there, having to figure out these errors as they come.

Gotcha. I didn't even know that was a rule. I was just giving you the heads up lol.
no worries. yeah you need 10 posts in order to post anything in the development subforums for the devices.
I just pm'd a mod and asked to have the thread moved to the appropriate subforum. Also I am making a LITTLE Progress, it does feel like two steps forward and one step back however. I'm confident that between those of us who are wanting it that it will happen.
Not sure if anyone is interested but I created another slack room under my account if anyone developing for the 510 wants to join and collaborate in order to (hopefully) let this device see its potential. Just pm me and i'll send you an invite.
Quickie update, I keep running in to the same set of errors and I know the answer is right in front of my face but im just not seeing it. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be missing some headers and libraries on my machine but I can't be sure.
Also I've forgotten how much I dislike working with kernels lol

whats up with the kernel? im good in that department for the most part,roms are...eh,not my specialty
I can't get any kernel to compile, I keep getting failures while making the drivers.
Currently using a pre compiled image to at least try to get the rom built, I can solve these errors, i've done it before on other devices. How's progress on your end if any?

& none,got so angry at the stupid libqdutils thing i had last night i havent even attempted anything yet,been working on setting zswap/vnswap up so we have some leeway when it comes to ram..you got github at all?
I was fighting with libcutils for about two days, stupid friggin unicode strings....but I got past that, right now it's mostly "no rule to make target" stuff which is easy enough after you go digging around to find the right file/line to edit. Right this very second though I am working on getting the mkbootimg.mk properly set up and get a recovery image cooked.

The TeamYAR TWRP doesn't, not to my knowledge. He had one built locally but he didn't send it to me. I have a CM12 kernel that he built that boots (rom is still ****) but needs default encryption disabled amongst other things.

It's kind of a "me" thing, If I am going to go thru the effort to port cyanogenmod to an unsupported device then I'll take the extra time to compile every bit, including the recovery.

[DISCUSSION] Nougat AOSP for ZE500KL ?

I was thinking: since we have an unlocked bootloader and custom roms, how hard would be to port AOSP Nougat?
There is any tecnical difficulty, like kernel version, that can block us?
Not much, I would imagine.
As far as I can tell, it'd just take a dev that's interested in putting in the effort.
Yes, this counts as my "yes, please" vote for Z00T.
I am votting with yes
I was thinking about do a try and compile it straight away, but i fear i'm not experienced enough to make something bootable
I don't think that the kernel or other thing will block it, but we got a custom ROM so late and I don't think we'll have a CM14 very soon
Cm14 should be prettt easy since we have cm 13, the point is that right now is not worth it because it's still in early stage, so a fully fledged cm13 would be more usefull.
AOSP is another talk because it's so barebone

Umm, thanks for your thoughts about trying to bring N, it seem you got the answer yourself
from what i look at Z00L/T source, other than some fix and caf one, they could bring N to L/T with some borrowed libs. And looking from our source, I still found some line with L/T on it, so, yes, dev may bring N to this device, just hope that libs going to work with this devices.
But as you said, a fully fledged cm13 would be useful, using RR build for 3 days, and got the problem as they says. Plus, for me, front camera isn't working (called arclib or something, front camera effect when using asus camera, it's working fine with other camera because they didn't load that lib). Constant lag when using GPS other than "gps only" (might RR only problem). etc..
Either way, I hope that you could join the team (or, is he a one man army?) maintaining this device, fixing things come first, upgrade when everything is fine. At least "ok".
I don't know about AOSP, but many say choose CM because of CM broad compatibility layer. If that's true, then AOSP might slightly harder...
or... not really.

Interesting, I'm not developer but I think this is possibke, Android 7.0 supports S410, maybe CM14 will better than AOSP.

Waiting for some USEFUL news.
Today I try to compile it, but do not know if I aim, because I'm not a developer and I have no experience, but I try the same, stay connected, sorry for my bad english
I can't download the sources because it me give an errore i can't compile a ROM,sorry
Still waiting for news.
I tried to compile it myself, I downloaded all the sources, but since the Z00ED / RD is not officially supported by CyanogenMod, and then the repository and everything else must be manually added, I tried but I get error during compilation. Now we must wait for some developer is able to have time to complete it, because basically if you have created for the Z00L / Z00T do not see why you can not fill because they have the same processor. Sorry for my bad English

Huawei P9 Lite devs

Good day lads,
Disclaimer:
Code:
I don't know if you noticed a thread in the Q&A section that was closed by Matt. While I respect Matt's decision to close it, I find it a very relevant topic... The future of LineageOS for the P9 Lite. Please note that I do respect meticulous' wishes to charge for his work because I know how time consuming it is I wish to firmly express that I do not condone this mentality when it comes to Linux based operating systems.
I decided to make this thread with my little Dev knowledge in order to attract more devs who's willing to put in work on a stable device tree for free in spirit of community and for all to enjoy.
I do not have the Lineage source code at the moment but I will start downloading soon, I do know that I will need help and I encourage more devs/beginners to lend a hand for the benefit of us all.
Please, to begin, post links to relevant tarballs/links/downloads for development purposes, device tree and kernels, anything you've worked on so perhaps we can all work together.
Cheers

Hmmm... The fact that building android ROMs is time consuming is not a good enough reason to request money for OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Yes, LineageOS and android in general are open source, so that's an infraction.
About the collective effort, that's a good idea, but there are no sources from Huawei right now. You need to wait for the Nougat sources if Huawei really gives a dime about releasing them. From that point, it is easier to develop and get stuff working. Until then, good luck working without sources and experimenting stuff. Not to mention that there's no official TWRP as well, and TWRPs posted here on XDA for our devices have specific requirements to get them flashed on your device.

Why do you need to come here with negativity? I don't support meticulous but he can do what he wants with the device sources he took the time to build, heck, he doesn't need to release those sources so I don't know what you're talking about, firstly. Secondly, a device tree can be built, Q.E.D we as a community can work on it together, if they release it we'll just have it much easier.
Note also; I've asked for relevant input and help from the community.
Thanks for your time though.
EDIT: P.S Professional Flasher, have you ever built a ROM before? Because that's my target here, finding people who knows how to fix error and put the tree together

Hmmm... The fact that building android ROMs is time consuming is not a good enough reason to request money for OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Yes, LineageOS and android in general are open source, so that's an infraction.
About the collective effort, that's a good idea, but there are no sources from Huawei right now. You need to wait for the Nougat sources if Huawei really gives a dime about releasing them. From that point, it is easier to develop and get stuff working. Until then, good luck working without sources and experimenting stuff. Not to mention that there's no official TWRP as well, and TWRPs posted here on XDA for our devices have specific requirements to get them flashed on your device.

Just finish already. If you want to discuss all that situation just create some g+ group or telegram for this.
XDA dev thread is not for that king of discussion.
Also it should be in QA SECTION.
You start xda dev thread when you have something made already. Not just with idea.

This disussions are undesired here. I know a board where you can discuss that. If you want, feel free to have a look at it. This little Board is very pleased about every enlivenment. Opened a thread over there.
Well, developers do not grow on trees. I guess there are not enough devs here who have the P9 Lite device.
However I like the intention of the thread author. For that reason please try to discuss in a human way.
In the end: I am vers interested in learning how to build custom roms but I can't find a way how to learn it. Does anyone have some good advice?
Updated kernel
Hello everyone, I've recently been working on updating the Honor 5c kernel to 3.10.105 and so far it seems to be working fine on my P9lite, LineageOS 14.1. It's based purely on stock, with one or two commits borrowed from Meticulus' kernel repo, so it compiles without errors.
Since this is a new account, I can't link my repo directly, you can find it on my github profile, Avsky.
I'll be making my own additions to master branch, while stocklike branch will contain only fixes and kernel updates.
If somebody would like to test them, you can get the boot image from releases tab on github. Stock kernel hasn't been tested, mind you, always keep a backup!
Also depending on how much time I have, I might get started on bringing OmniROM to our device (I'm really missing it). I'm just a college student though, so it might never see the light of day, any help is much appreciated.

Hello, I tried your kernel on AOSPA MM but I couldn't get the proper unpacked zImage. I got only 9.7 MB gzip which contains the 22 MB Image but I couldn't extract it.
Could you provide the zImage?

That zImage looks like the same I got from unpack. For some reason it won't boot when I repack it with my ramdisk.

I repacked and uploaded my image with ramdisk from your latest AOSPA, could you try it? Sizes varied a bit, I've used my abootimg config with SELinux changed to permissive, as that is the case in your image.
EDIT: I'm uploading extracted zImage as well.

Glad to hear it! Your images seem to be using uncompressed zImages, while in stock ROMs they're gzipped, seems like unintentional change somewhere in your build process.

Yeah you're right. I just checked it and I am copying Image instead of Image.gz. Seems like it's only a 'cosmetic' issue because it runs anyways.
Great news guys, my sources now compile with latest Linaro toolchain. The kernel actually barely needed any fixes, but I'm not releasing anything prebuilt yet, since I have no idea what impact on stability my hacks might have.

Perhaps reading through GitHub commits, checking the code and see whether or not you're really interested. If you're using a Linux distribution which I strongly advise, learn bash scripts first - it's easy and self explanatory and from there you will get basics of directories and calling up files.
Goodluck

[ABANDONED] MIUI 8 For Huawei P8Lite ALE-L21

--FOR MORE INFO AND NEWS ALWAYS CHECK MY LAST REPLY!--
Thanks for understanding!
PROJECT IS ABANDONED.
Regards,
Holy ****, finally. I cant try it out for my self cause i need to leave to malta tomorrow but i can try it later
MIUI Rom, finally!!!!
I hope they fix the bug as soon as possible
Again, the ROM is NOT bootable, I need logcats from you to fix the problem, hopefully.
So don't expect this to boot.
Thanks for understanding!
Try to take a look here Logcats
I hope to have helped

That's all I've found and that can be useful for both this Rom and others that you will develop.
Thank you, but I know how to dump logcats. I asked you if you could provide me some logcats of the rom not booting from your device and send me.
Thank you.

The ROM is compiled, but it doesn't boot and me and @AymenDe7 need logcats.
I will provide a download link, but just in google drive so not much downloads will be allowed. Bootable version (if) will be released on androidfilehost.

And if you would copy libGLES_mali.so to /system/lib64/egl?
Would it work?
Thank you for your logcats. I will see what I can do.
How does it go with progress?
Should boot if you use custom kernel and copy&replace blobs
I am giving up on trying to fix that error message. I am trying to build AOSP 6 and then try again patchtom, hopefully I won't get that error.
I know how to get miui booted, making aosp is not enough, there is changes you need to play with them like .rej files and boot.img too experienced on my old s2 plus i9105p. as I got stuck at animation boot.

MIUI ports were one of the most time-consuming ports. I'm not sure how does it look like today but I'm pretty sure it's identical to how it used to be. First you had to modify the ramdisk and then patch all java resourced and with a bit of luck you get bootable rom.
I'm really sick of seeing all those roms all based on 1 device tree which is not even fully functionall yet. People keep making "new" roms but all are actually the same, all have same list of non-working features. Just compiling different android distro with same device tree over and over.
XDA used to be place for original work and for people who put effort in their projects. Now kids keep spamming dev threads with copy&paste roms or useles threads.

Yeah. We have like 2 developers(one is a team) On this device. Haky and OpenKirin. And 6 "different" ROMs that all work the same, with the exception off the nougat FOMs, which have even more bugs.

I know man, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking in general. I know you're doing god work, despite I'm not developing anything since a long time I still read forum and follow what's happening.
Like @Vinnipinni said, 2 guys and 6 "different" roms. But all working the same.
Back in times people were more likely waiting for stable CM/AOSP before compiling bunch of other distros. Now it's just mess.
I really wish I could go back to developing for android devices, especially now when I have programming knowledge and experience.

Custom Roms/LineageOS on SM-T505

Hello, everyone.
I noticed, there are many custom roms, but not that many for the SM-T505. Is it because it's newly released, or are there other reasons?
Yes, this is a new device and many people are probably waiting for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals to grab one. I just grabbed one for $150 on Amazon, a steal compared to something like a Fire tablet IMO. This is a low-end tablet, so there won't be as much focus on it as say a flagship phone. But thankfully it's already been unlocked and rooted, so the next step will be to get TWRP on it, and then custom ROM development can start to pick up on it. Don't expect any updates before the end of the year for custom ROMs though, it will likely take time to have TWRP up and running on it, but I am hopeful that we will see good things on this tablet in 2021
Without kernel sources it won't happen. See https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t505 and https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t500.
You can request them on that page. I did it a few times but no response so far.

Just got an answer from Samsung, but don't get to excited. It was just an automated answer, that they received my inquiry. So stay tuned...
https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=t500 gives you a 514mb file with kernel and vencor files.
Maybe both 505 and 500 are similiar enough to get you started
Sources are available: https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=sm-t500
They include a toolchain in kernel tree, broken KConfigs and a lot of junk. I will try to clean a bit a mess and update a lean kernel tree to github

Sure, but I'm going to remove the toolchain from the kernel tree since the beginning. It takes About 1GB alone and I don't want to have it on git refs because it will still take a lot of space even if removed.
The rest of changes will be available on github.

It's been a long time, since i took up building custom roms and forgot about it for a while... if the kernel is cleansed from all the BS no one needs, that would be awesome.
There are a lot of small changes to comments and changes of 2 characters in a line. Wonder if they backported stuff there.
Kernel of the SM-T505 was just released...
If this is of any relevance, the download is 'just' 200MB... i wonder why.
The Platform Archive is mostly identical, just a few text files with notes and copyright were missing.
The Kernel Package as well, just small changes to netfilter and
a new defconfig file.
Defconfig for both devices also is more or less the same
gta4lwifi_eur_open_defconfig is missing one line compared to gta4l_eur_open_defconfig
CONFIG_SAMSUNG_FREECESS=y
Guess the difference comes from the toolchain mentioned above.
@paziusss
How far have you come?
Would be great if we had something clean to start a twrp and easier rooting

Sorry, I have a very bad internet connection (uplink it is ~50-100KiB/s)
I created the repo a month ago: https://github.com/pazos/android_kernel_samsung_gta4lwifi
,tried to push and failed. Never tried again until now, but it is still failing.
So, if somebody is nice enough to dump the contents of the SM-T500 kernel in a github repo, I can fork and submit the patches without having to upload the whole thing myself.

I had to apply the patch manually, so everything is in a single commit, but should be easy for others to understand what each chunk of code does.
