Will this release really help our HD2's properly run HWA on ICS Roms? I'm asking because I'm not a developer and was hoping to get a more technical answer from someone who is more tech savy Plus I read on a post from texasice that they were not going to be of much help because they've been out for months :/
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23702261&postcount=2871
I hope they do help cos I would really like ICS running properly on the HD2, but for me it isn't suitable for daily use. However if these haven't helped at all yet (assuming the leak was legit) then I don't see what they could do
firstly, libs has latest version (build at 09mar 2012 )
secondly, libs - not all that is need. sdk - that powerful tool! now there is libs+sdk in public - so you could integrate lib into rom and... yes, it will take a time for rework source code, but this libs is not useful - it just need to rewrite quite a lot of android source.
Hello Everyone!!!!
As the title states I am trying to build my first ROM from source, I am wanting to build a PAC-Man variant for our phone (AT&T S4).
I am currently installing Xubuntu 13.04 x64 on a old Pentium D (2.4 ghz with 2GB of RAM) and I am reading over this post while it is installing.
I am also reading over this thread as well. I assume I can try to build a CM 10.1 build first, LOKI it, then get it working then add the stuff in for PAC-man after that, but I am not sure. I was wanting to know if any ROM developers can point me in the right direction for learning how to compile ROM's from source. I know the typical rule here is to search, search, and if lost SEARCH MORE but I feel that I am missing knowledge on what to search for in the first place.
I hope to spend the next few days on this little project and if all works well I will attempt to maintain a Dev thread with updates every few days to a week.
Thanks for any information you all can provide and I appreciate any guidance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798056 this forum gave me a lot on insight when I started building my own rom. Hope it helps, best of luck to you!
I figured out how to install the SDK, and start building things, Its currently building the release right now, lets hope it doesn't blow up
EDIT: Would anyone be willing to try it if I feel its good enough to test?

I'll try it out! I was going to build it, but I don't have enough hard drive space with my BeanStalk repo set up
sometime back this was posted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63556533&postcount=135
unfortunately moonbutt closed his thread just when I and another member posted boot image etc on the board..understand he may have moved on to better things
not knowledgeable here but appreciate if someone can take this up or redirect this to some dev who can make a rooted kernel since the source has been published
thanks
SM-T237P
Would love to root my 5.1.1 tab , so I too would be begging for another developer to step in to fill this need. I need a kernel with UVC video support.
OKAY so now I know my posts were getting deleted when I asked for T235 kernel root

yesterday or may have been on Sat night, on the T533 thread I tried to catch moonbutt's attention by pointing to the T235 source (when apparently he was saying the T533 had no source but was addressing that kernel) and now that post has gone like on his closed thread (just when it seemed he was taking an interest thanking me for providing boot.img and other files)
anyway...need some dev who can volunteer to work on this and at least someone who would respond yes or no (deleting posts maybe to avoid a side conversation)
I pulled the source started to look it up and looked up on how to modify kernel..looked doable to a point but this is from a total novice (all i know is to mod some apk, compile/re-compile but no building stuff)

mac,
i had your post removed because it was interfering in H's thread. I tried with this device a little while ago but testers seem to think they are at liberty to not follow instruction, or just change their minds mid-stream like they haven't just wasted my time and resources. . The upside would be if you have the source and the setup to compile it and thereby test your own work then, i can absolutely run you through what you need to do, The tricky part is knowing which tools you need for the packing/unpacking of the ramdisk.
If this is a qcom/msm device you will need AIK which is the best solution.
If this is a marvell variant you will need ketut's degas bootimg toolkit which is the best solution.
You need [likely] to apply the patch mentioned in my thread to security/selinux/selinuxfs.c
Be aware that samsung's source releases are usually incredibly sloppy and the defconfigs for devices are usually somewhat off, missing config settings.
Check for sdcardfs xattrs, virtual xattrs, etc . you need to make sure those are selected in order for your internal and external storage to mount.
Find the correct defconfig for your device and post it as a zipped attachment. or check my thread and look at my sources on git, specifically the commit history [msm devices mostly] to get an idea of what you need. You can get a linux os running in a virtual machine and compile just fine as long as you have all the pre-requisites installed. The getting started link in my signature is a rough/general guide to help get you up and running.
m
ps, my thread is just locked, not closed, i was getting too many OT/non-dev postings. I open it when/if i have something new and then close it again.
thanks moonbutt74...totally understand...appreciate the links in your signature and other resources...will start looking into it (long long journey but gotta try)

mac,
no prob, recommended step 1, get your linux distro set up, stongly recoommend kali/debian 2.0, either in vm or better as 2nd os in a dual boot scenario.

I've decided to give compiling on my own a try, and what I've come up with is available for download here: https://ufile.io/tojwq
I have not tested it myself, so I do not know if it even boots up properly. I am planning on testing it next weekend (too busy this weekend with final exams coming up). Given that I have no idea if this is going to work, I would discourage anyone from switching to this without first taking a backup of their existing image.
Please not another unofficial build!
The source is not ready for this. You'll have bluetooth problems.
Thread closed - this is not Development.
Hey all you Sharp 306sh users!
I love this phone and decided to start a ROM port to Oreo 8.0.0!
To date here's what i got
1. Device tree built
2. ASOP stock rom built successfully
Here's what I need to get done next
1. Access bootloader to flash images
2. Test for vendor blobs needed so I can make the vendor tree (if required)
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am just getting my feet we in this process, this is a great phone and I would love to see it updated.
Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this project!
Edit 8/6/2018: Device tree is on Github,
https://github.com/RobertCC18/sharp-306sh-rom
More to come once kernel is built!
Edit 10/12/2018:
I am uploading the first test build so I can get some help with the debug. THIS ROM IS GETS STUCK AT THE SHARP BOOT LOGO AND IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION DEVICES!!!!
That being said, any help and logs that you can send are greatly appreciated.
This zip can be flashed through TWRP, check the downloads section

Great! I´ve got a 306SH model, i can be a tester... waiting for your first zip :highfive:
Awesome.
I tried this exact same thing before, but gave up soon after I couldn't diagnose what stopped my device from booting with my custom ROMs, as I could never find the logs.
It looks like you're making more headway than me, so I'd love to test it, or even just help out.
Keep on going! A GitHub would be great progress.
Update 7-4-18
Update - 7/24/2018
Recompiling Kernel with debug drivers included - current compiled kernel missing RAM Console support
Github repo coming soon!
Great! Always wanted a custom room on this phone. I can test it and try it out too
Good progress.
Make sure to keep us updated, once you have a GitHub repo, development should speed up.
I'm sure there are a few techies with this phone that would love to contribute to your ROM, myself included.
By the way, you said ASOP instead of AOSP in the original post.

Thanks, whoops on the typo!
Been busy with work but hoping to upload device tree, kernel base and current build, waiting for kernel to finish building with RAM console drivers.
Update 8/6/2018
Github Created
https://github.com/RobertCC18/sharp-306sh-rom
Device tree is added, kernel coming soon!
About accessing the bootloader to flash images, I believe we've done this before.
Tewilove, the man behind rooting the 306SH managed to access it, and made a custom one to flash, if I do remember correctly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/aquos-crystal/general/temp-root-306sh-t3129456
Worth a look.
No development in a while. We all hope you're still there.
I visited the Github and just found it to be text files and folders. Could you possibly post the WIP kernel or other vendor blobs on there,
so we have at least a basis to begin work on?
Thanks,
This is an amazing idea. My 306SH is rooted and ready for action.

Yes I am still here and working on this, just haven't had much time lately. I will try to get the kernel and vendor blobs up within the next few days
Been waiting for a custom ROM for this phone. I'm ready to test it
Any update on the development of the ROM??????
Any progress?

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the delay in development but I hit a major snag with the kernel build and am still working on overcoming it. The needed defconfig is missing so I found one that should get us close, at the very least it should allow us to see the RAM debug messages on boot failure.
Also, my internet has been to slow to upload the kernel to github but I have an upgrade and should be able to get it uploaded within the next couple days.
Please share any information that you find regarding this phone here on XDA and beyond, any info you can provide will help me get this up and running faster!
Hey, how's everything going? Any luck?
What's up with it?
Hey All,
Sorry for the delayed responses, this phone seems to be a lost cause. But I am not a quitter lol!
I am hopeing to get back into the swing if things here in the next few weeks and will post more updates and files here shortly
Current problems:
No debugging enabled
Kernel needs patched to support Android 6+
We wish you the best of luck!
