Calling on nexus devs, themers, please read

As some of you know a friend and team member parabola from acs is a java developer and he wrote an app called the acs updater. Now the app is from acs but the intention is for any dev to showcase their work. If you would like to have your work included in the app please visit here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174964
And choose submit theme, app, rom, kernel etc to make it publicly available.
This app downloads the mod and flashes it for you.

Yes it checks for the build info you shouldn't see my rom but you should see my themes. It should identify you as crespo when you start it

Very similar so far the dev just got started. Its actually building into something that will keep people that use our work in the loop and provide a simple means of flashing. The thing its since we don't store the rom itself there no reason to not let any dev post work.
Sent from my crespo4g using Tapatalk

Nice and good idea but i guess it would be very hard to maintain( no offence intended).
Only checking the build prop is okay for roms but will be problematic concerning kernel and themes.

why is that? I'm not saying you wrong I'm not seeing why not
Sent from my crespo4g using Tapatalk

Interesting idea, does it do a proper flash for things? I heard somewhere that RM doesn't flash properly for certain things (cant remember what exactly).
Was there a reason to develop your own updater? I'm tempted to use it for my stuff though.

So far I've flashed the themes and rom. The original idea was he was building a in house updater to package all of acs's work. A central location to have it all but recently he decided to add in anyone who wanted to be included.

Oh ok. Would you have any idea what the Extended Commands requirement is? Or an example? I always wondered how stuff was sent by RM.

How do i deodex a rom

Im running stock odex eh06
how do i deodex it? im bored with the look but am completely satisfied with performance. Been running it since leak and dont wanna flash the deodexed one in android development because of all the problems reported.
Is it as simple as deleting the .odex files? i delete them always when a new rom comes out. Ill be a real happy camper if its that simple
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

No... You have to decompile the .odex files with baksmali.jar and then recompile them with smali.jar and then put them inside the aplication/jar... Search on google how to deodex a rom using baksmali... And one of the first ones should be a sdx wiki that tells you everything to do... Make sure you use the latest baksmali.jar and smali.jar whick i think is 1.2.8

why do you use breakfast at all?
pac gets build with the build-pac.sh you dont need to run anything at all
sorry if i missed something :>

I dont know, i just started, im a noobie so i dont understand too much about it, I tough I would need to use breakfast a select my device codename to make it work, and about what you just answered, I'm completely lost lol

PAC rom imho is the easierst rom to build from source.
have a look at
https://github.com/PAC-man/pacman#getting-started
basically you have to
init a repo
sync the repo
run build-pac.sh
thats it.
make sure you have all needed programs installed for this but you should be able to find tutorials of which software you need to build android on ubuntu.

But what about the device codename? Don't need it at all?

have a look at the link i posted.
yes you need the device codename
if your device codename is ks01lte then you have to run:
build-pac.sh ks01lte
but please read the tutorial i posted, its <30 lines of text and explains ~99.9% of the build process

Thank you, if i still having trouble ill PM you

I'm almost positive that is not supported by pac yet.
If it is supported by CM it shouldnt be a problem, iirc the script will get the needed files by cm.
If there is only an unofficial build of cm you can add the device like it is explained in the tutorial i posted.
so i think you are just hours / days away of your i9506 port of PAC.
if you've done everything correct you can be the maintainer of this rom, and then it will get official supported in nightlies ....

i just did a test run:
http://jenkins.pac-rom.com/job/volletest/device=ks01lte,label=volletest/71/console
so its not working out of the box and there seems to be no official supprt by cm yet.
you will have to add the device manually, for this the tutorial will help you.
have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590142, thats an unofficial port of cm that might help you.
i haven't done this yet so i cant help you anymore sorry... but is is possible and you'll learn something by doing it. you can drop a message in the g+ community, maybe some out there can give you a hand...

Thanks, you already help me a lot dude

[Calling All Developers] CyanogenMod 11 BringUp for HTC Desire 816

Hello All,
I have been working CyanogenMod bring up for Desire 816 since a few weeks now. Currently, I have prepared the device tree and the vendor tree that I guess should be enough to get it booted(Or bootloop atleast ), except one thing -
> I'm having troubles implementing dt.img in the device tree to use with kernel/recovery and I did used the flag to use the dtb but, when I tested it with recovery, it got stuck on "Entering Recovery" screen for a few seconds and then rebooting and I'm pretty sure that it'd be a single silly mistake stopping from it to boot. And if recovery boots, theb most probably kernel boots(Using a prebuilt one) amd therefore increasing the chances for the ROM to boot!
EDIT - We are using prebuilts but we got recovery to boot. Here are the latest trees - https://github.com/desire816-dev

Great... Im no developer but..... Thanks for ur efforts.. And all the best for further development...

Not sure, but I think you are using the wrong recovery fstab style. This is the cm 10.1 style, not cm 11
It needs to looks somewhat more like this
You don't have the kernel source, right?

This is the fstab that my boardconfig links to - https://github.com/v-superuser/android_device_htc_a5dwg/blob/cm-11.0/rootdir/etc/fstab.qcom

My mistake.
Try tearing apart your current recovery and check for differences.

Make sure you have the correct offsets for the ramdisk and devtree image

Sorry for a late reply but, ramdisk offset and other stuff is right. Must be something else. Wondering why @kinghunki doesn't shares his trees.

IDK, I flashed recovery, it got stuck on Entering Recovery, rebooted, and I pulled the last_kmsg just after it rebooted to system.

Okay then it seems that the kernel never booted far enough to initialize the ram console. I'd double check your devtree offsets.

There's no kernel source yet. Here's the stock boot.img http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358558515 !

you don't have any devtree offset, that's your problem
should be:

[DEV] Custom kernel info

https://mega.co.nz/#!gUQR1YCa!40Jek-QVjYMWc5AEt5hPeh0S-48kMxv7lOVl1xXhBZw
here is a flashable kernel, nothing has been done to it except compile from stock sources. no i wont make any changes, i dont plan on doing a custom kernel for a phone i dont even know what it looks like. this is purely so that people who actually have teh phone can learn on how to make a kernel. if you decide to flash this make sure to do a backup first as it has different modules for wifi etc.
source can be found at https://mega.co.nz/#!URh0HJyT!41SiQTCPO_wkd13wVd4l-36bRJoT5yeUms70uduGGBM i used the ML4 tar.

ok so you guys have a prima wifi chip that had its source excluded from the kernel source, as well as a few other things. trying to merge in some of the stuff and see if i can get the modules to compile.
