Hello devs! im trying to port a rom from the infuse, the zeus rom.i do not have permissions from the dev of the rom to port it so its only for personal use and for any one who can help port the rom. Unless dman the dev asks me to release publicly for the device. I googled how to do it follow step by step instructions and tried a few different base roms but i cant get it to boot(stays on i9000 screen) Ive tried to figure oet how to modify the updater script and whatnot but im kinda new to coding(I think this is where my problem is is in the script). right now its a learning process for me, I got a pretty good learning curve so i can catch on really quick. I really like the rom so i relly want to do it. I already sent dman a message asking for his expertice cause he built it so we might also get his help with the project. any help is great and you will be mentioned if it ever goes public.
Thanks!
bump cause i really want to use this rom

Unfortunately that guide won't help here - what he's looking for is a guide to making a device vendor tree when one isn't available.

The easiest way to start a device tree would be to follow this guide: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device
Just remember this won't give you a full device tree. Another way would be to start with a device tree for a device similar to yours and change all the neccasary stuff to your device. By following that guide you could compare
Sorry if this isn't 100% accurate, I'm really tired

Hello all. I've been searching for devs which own Butterfly S but cant find it anywhere, so i'm asking around XDAto get some answers. I want to port/make an AOSP/CM/GPE (KK or Lollipop) ROM for BS, and want someone to help. I dont know anything about it, and I'm willing to pay to someone to do so. I just want an AOSP look on BS with everything working or at least someone to guide me through the process. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks
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
As the subject entails, I've searched quite a bit but not really any straight forward answers. The other thread said it has the same chipset as 815. I just was hoping someone had some experience with Lineage (or any other custom rom/os) on this device or upgrading to a newer android? I just don't wanna brick it if possible. Please anyone with info let me know my options! It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
