New Cyanogen ROM, differences for Hero CDMA?

I'm new to Android but not new to Linux and wondering what is necessary to get these ROMs (and others) working on the CDMA Hero. What are the major differences, proprietary drivers? Kernel modules?
New Cyanogen ROM, just released
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
In other words, what's stopping us from running these ROM's right along with G1/Dream users?

I'm curious also... would love to try his roms...

Since Android 1.6 was supposed to add CDMA support I would think they should work as well as 2.0 unless the developers have taken the cdma support out of the code in their roms to shrink the size to fit on the G1's.
If I had a Hero I would be giving it a try most likely. I might try picking one up this week since Best Buy has them down to $99. I just wish it had a keyboard.

I'll try when I get home from work.
On a side note, even if this rom doesn't work, I should be able to boot into the recovery rom no matter what... riiiiiiight?

Correct! The recovery image isn't touched by normal ROMS typically.

I'm tempted. Can this be applied right over the MoDaCo ROM?

I have tried a couple things with these. I tried flashing it outright. Wouldnt get past the initial htc boot screen. So I replaced the kernel in the boot.img of Cyans rom with ours, that still didnt work. Then I tried replacing the entire boot.img and still no boot working. I think Donut uses the 2.6.29 kernel or whatever it is. Ours is .27 so I think we would need to recompile the .29 kernel and pray our drivers work with it. Please, someone else try it too and see if they can get it working. I would love you forever if you could. If not, we will just have to wait until HTC gets us Eclair.

Thanks
Thanks for trying this, chuckhriczko and others.
I'm mainly coming at this from the pure Linux point of view: shouldn't these ROM's run anywhere (barring proprietary bits)? Shouldn't we be able to "share and share alike" between platforms, Hero/Dream/G1/whatever? If there is a chip architecture difference, fine then we need a recompiled kernel. Obviously there is also the question of firmware, but that's a given on all phones.
Otherwise, shouldn't these ROM's be fairly universal? Or if they are not, I'd like to know what makes ROM building such a unique endeavor for each phone.

I believe it's mostly the proprietary drivers for some of the hardware as well as needing a kernel recompile...once HTC releases the CDMA kernel, I'm sure we'll see a lot more (that or some genius will reverse engineer it...either way!)
The other thing to consider is that most of these ROMs are based on something...they take what's existing and tweak the heck out of it (I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of ROMs can trace their roots back to an official vendor image at some point).
I'm actually trying to setup a build environment and poke around but I'm starting from ground zero on the mobile platform side of things so I wouldn't hold out for me (and finding a Java 1.5 runtime is surprisingly hard these days ).
I'm noticing that we're seeing more and more ROM's pop up (primarily gutted ROMs focussed on eeking more speed as opposed to MoDaCo who went for more features).

What OS are you using? If your using a Debian based linux then you can get it from the Debian Lenny repositories. One word about this though, it killed my existing Java 1.6 so I had to reinstall it when I needed it. Otherwise that works.
And yeah, we are primarily doing gutted roms because that is all we know up to this point. It is very difficult to find help from those who know all about recompiling a kernel and things like that. Like I said, I couldnt get Cyanogen to even boot on my phone but obviously, it should at the very least do that. But only one dev on these forums ever helped me with my CDMA roms and that was Mlign from the Dream forums. Everyone else (understandably busy) ignored me. Im not saying anything bad about them but it's just harder for people to learn. Patience will give us what we desire though.

vendor tree for cyanogen heroc
im a noob and dont know how to build it but its here:

yes haha i want cyanogen on my hero lol

BeanStalk port worked! Waiting for Scott's permission to post in dev section

I used this rom on my Samsung infuse and it would be awesome if a dev could port it to the s4!
If you look on the original thread in the infuse forums you can see step by step instructions on how to port it.
I tries to do it, but don't know how to do step 6.
It turns out I was able to do it on my own!

That rom is AOSP-based. So why don't you just try one of the other AOSP-based roms around here, such as AOKP or SlimBean?

I am currently running Task's AOKP and it is really nice (i found it better than Slim on the s4), but BeanStalk has more features.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to get BeanStalk ported.
Thanks for the reply!

It's not really easy whatsoever to port a Rom that is for a different device especially if the resolution is different for the other Phone.

I am unfamiliar with porting, so it is good to know it's not an easy task.
Thanks for your answer!

That's where source comes in handy...it eliminates a lot of those issues, really all we need is xxhdpi (we should be able to cherrypick that from cm when needed) to be added into aosp and then source porting should be a breeze for the most part - if you know how to build from source that is...actually building a custom aosp rom like scotts, that's a different story
Zip porting is where resolution and all that stuff makes it hard/not possible
Just look at cm...its available on nearly every device...why? Because its got its source up. Basically all you need to do is add in all the correct hardware source, kernel sources, device sources and proprietary files and your good...not saying its easy, as you do need to figure out what you need to add in, as well as edit a few files...but its definitely not really hard (although some of those errors you run into do make you want to throw your computer out a window)
-I guess it is a little hard, but for the most part its pretty much the same for any source port...trial and error your way through errors until it builds
Anyways, I'm sure someone will get around to it...I was gonna try and compile pure aosp...but my dev environment needs to be updated before I can start compiling again (been months since I compiled anything)
If it can be ported to the galaxy s3, than it can be ported to the galaxy s4 (I'm not saying the two are similar, but both are completely different from the Samsung infuse)

Wow this was some great info!
I've never built from source, but I'm going to give it a try with TMO's cm 10 for the s4. Just to get a grip on dev'ing.
Thanks.
EDIT: Actually, it looks like cyanogenmod has the galaxy s4 AT&T github repo up to date. I may just try to build using that source.

Please keep in mind, in order to build from source you must have linux...actually I think Mac works too...but windows won't
Follow the link in my signature, its full of a bunch of tutorials, somewhere close to the top should be a thread called compile jb from ubuntu or something like that...follow that thread to get you started and get you build environment set up
-it is very confusing at first especially if your new to linux, bit once you get going it gets easier
Anyways, good luck!!! The great thing about porting from source is it gets your feet wet, gets you used to the basics with source...and eventually you can get experimental and start creating your own source roms...also, it is kinda addicting lol, for a while I was compiling non stop...I went from a flashaholic to a compileaholic lol...now, I'm neither due to my busy schedule but summer is just around the corner for me so that should change

Just wanted to check in and let you all know that I successfully built cm10 for the galaxy s4! Used the source from the official branch. It's a pretty neat feeling knowing that I built the rom from source (and it's really neat seeing my name in the build date ) :victory:
I'm going to be contacting scott to see if he can help me build his rom. I already synced his repo on my computer, so I'm hoping the rest won't be too hard. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks @mg2195 for the help! :highfive:

I did it!
I am running the latest version of BeanStalk on my s4!!!!
I will make a new thread in the dev section as soon as I get permission. This rom is awesome!

Felt like this deserved some attention

As johnny drama would say.... VICTORYYYYYY!!

ubuntu

So, I have decided to compile and get ubuntu running on our devices. I have the TMO Note 4.
If anyone has a donor device, or can give me some pointers I want to get all this running nicely.
No goal is unobtainable.

I will like to see this if we can get dual boot [emoji14]

and what about miui 6? there is recently released miui 6 patchrom. Do you know miui? I am asking you this because we are two and we want to port it but we have weak knowledge. Maybe you can help us
and this is how miui 6 look like
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34895&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=no
and there are some of thousands official themes for miui
http://en.miui.com/thread-112322-1-1.html

First of all i don`t think it`s nice of you to come in here and state there's no real custom roms out there for the Note 4, there's a lot of movement in the threads and developers work their butt off providing the latest and the best experience for the device. That said, let`s say i`m willing to give you a N910F donor device for development purpose, what have you got to show for it? Being a newbie ( at least your XDA account shows it ) there doesn`t seem much that shows anything worth to mention.
You sure this ain`t a cheap way of getting yourself a Note 4?

if you already have a TMO n4, why would you need a donor device?
and if dual boot works it's even easier to try it all
but porting Ubuntu does sound like a fun project, maybe you can use cm12 stuff to speed up the porting :fingers-crossed:
and i would love to help but i have no idea about porting and i'm already busy with n4 and s6 edge development
good luck though! :good:

My Apologies

My apologies, you are correct about custom roms. What I meant is we don't have MIUI, Firefox, etc. Yeah skinned versions of Android, yet some people like them.
I want to do something no one else has done, and bring something to the table.

That's all I have now is my ubuntu laptop.
What I found out is ubuntu touch is based on cm10.1.
They don't have 3g/4g/let working for some systems.
I am reading about how to compile. Hensel why I need a donor device, just in case I super brick. Bricking out my only phine would suck.
I haven't figured out how to pm, so if anyone can talk to me like via Skype, and help me learn. PLEASE!

Ladies and Gentleman,
John here, I have spent at least 5 days trying to port windows 10 to the Note 4, (turns out its not possible) windows 10 requires secure boot and bypassing this is a pain in the ass, so I've given up.... it is 5/12/2017 and I've arrived very late to this thread but I got my note 4 out of the drawer and decided to turn it into a portable Linux pc, I spent 4 weeks porting Ubuntu to the note 2 in 2015 and dropped the project because there was many issues getting all the drivers to work but so far porting Ubuntu to the note 4 is working well but it needs quite a bit of glitches to be fixed, im trying to get the 4G gsm module to work and the sound but soon this will be working great and I will share my finished product.

It's crazy to me i couldn't find one single guide or post about how to build a kernel with the phone you want to run it on. Seems like it should be easy ha. I have have tried termux, gnu-root, cc-tools, kbox3,........you name it and I have a TB of it ha. So all rambling aside, just let me know what or if you need anything

Not at all, Ubuntu isn't sizing things properly and it's almost impossible to use the touchscreen to click buttons, can only be used with a mouse, just getting otg to work was a pain to plug in a mouse, there's some options In Ubuntu for resizing but they don't help that much.

Hmm. Well maybe resizing everything could be an acceptable approach but if windows and android have different "skins" maybe we could make a custom gnome launcher that works better with the small screen, but as far as the drivers and the kernel, is it stable, and what model have you compiled it for?

if you finished your project, i'd love to try it on my device.

Hey bro. Any progress? i just ran across a kde plasma active installer for nexus 7 that uses multirom to flash linux to ext sd. Would it maybe be possible to adapt the script to our device being that we have EFIDroid and Multisystem?

I've been working on porting Halium (needs for Ubuntu touch now) to my device, I haven't gotten the graphics to work yet but with the work I've got done so far we could get the graphics working then get other OSes that support Halium working (I.e. plasma os, sailfish, and possibly even post market os) if your still trying to get this working let me know and I'll contribute what I can to help, I still DD my n910p cause I like the form factor of my note 4, hate the glitchy issues that sprint forced into its software though. I have gotten Ubuntu to boot to a headless system setup, but that's not useful for what my end game is, its just a step in the right direction.

Update on the current dev status.

thanks to xc-racer99, humberos, and the beautiful vmware.... no wait, f#ck you vmware.
In the coming days, there will be builds of omnirom 5.1 coming out. I just finished my windows 10 install and I'm deciding how to setup my build OS for the future.

dude please don't send me a fassy lol
im a teenager and my parents would get worried
and yea the fascinate was always a kickass little music player device, but i'm not the biggest audiophile in the world and Qualcomm's DAC does the trick for me just as well as the Wolfson dac in the fascinate did. lol

were you part of the lollipop port for the fassy? or are you just a close bystander?

aries kernel and aries-common was already updated. the only work that needed to be done was to bringup the device tree. i provided the files to xc racer and helped him with partitions. then i tested the build and showed him what needed to be fixed. he is responsible for the bringup, i'm responsible for debugging, and humberos did the kernel. several people did aries-common. i'm now going to be the maintainer for this device. and will be responsible for improving performance, compatibility, and doing bug fixes. the kernel still needs a lot of work.
EDIT: and hhp was my tester and will remain so.

New to everything here
Hello everyone, I am new to this website as well as flashing and ROMs. Could someone help me get started on how to flash this lollipop onto a Samsung Mesmerize? (US Cellular version of Fascinate)

1) Update recovery to newest TWRP or CWM Touch.
2) Reboot to recovery
3) Factory reset
4) Wipe cache/dalvik cache
5) Install CM12.1 (for your device)(dont reboot when done)
6) Install GAPPS (for your version it's open gapps 5.1, google it)
7) Reboot when finished.
8) Wait for 1st boot to finish.
9) Enjoy!
Edit: This is assuming you have already downloaded all necessary files and have them copied to your SD Card.

thanks to xc-racer99, humberos, and the beautiful vmware.... no wait, f#ck you vmware.
In the coming days, there will be builds of omnirom 5.1 coming out. I just finished my windows 10 install and I'm deciding how to setup my build OS for the future.

Cya guys. For early testing, harass hhp

My fascinate is my best dev device I have! My only other dev device is my LG Lucid, but it is very buggy and I can't get binary blobs or even compile for it. My other devices have locked bootloaders, that's no fun.
FYI, Ubuntu 14.04 with LXDE desktop environment is probably the best dev environment, because Unity just takes too much power!

screw off with that. i have arch on my p4 box. i'll let you see my kernel later hehe. ubuntu even with lxde would make me puke. i sont even have a mouse plugged in. tty1
p.s. windows 10 pro makes me happy. uefi bios updater. alpha drivers for everything. all 'paid' version software. vmware ws pro puts out enough power for me to make every now and then builds ok. i grew up on xp.
as you can tell though, im a rolling release type of guy. anything less is unacceptable.

Sailfish OS porting

This is not a request to get, rather wanting information on how possible it would be.
Would it be possible to port Sailfish with what has been open sourced for the OP5? Also, would anyone be interested if I made the resulting build available to all? I'd likely make it available regardless.

Would love to see this ported to the op5.

of course.
me to

I think it would be difficult until SFOS is based on LOS14. Right now the latest SFOS is based on CM13. There isn't an Android 6.0 kernel for the OP5...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hybris-14.1 is out there, so porting may be possible

I will port Sailfish OS on Oneplus 5 as soon as I buy the device I don't see a problem in using the 7.x or 8.x kernel, can get it to boot with those also

Have you made any attempts at porting SFOS for the OnePlus 5?

I'm currently attempting to port SFOS for the OP5. I'm encountering some problems at the moments (bootloops, no GUI).

I've made an installable zip of SFOS 2.1.3.7 for the OnePlus 5... however, the current issue is that I cannot telnet into the device via USB to figure out where it's failing since kernel 4.4 needs some usb fix for mainline kernel testing. See http://www.merproject.org/logs/#sailfishos-porters/#sailfishos-porters.2017-11-19.log.html for the conversation regarding "usb gadget"
---------------------------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------------------------------
22Nov17 - I found a solution to the kernel 4.4 usb_gadget issue (https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_USB_device_networking) I am now able to telnet into my OnePlus 5 with the Mer Boat Loader running. Hopefully more progress will follow.

07Dec17 - New Update. I now have UI/touch input working on the OnePlus 5. Now the rest of the debugging begins.

Good news!

Man, I forget to actually get on XDA, and someone steps up to fill the shoes I haven't been able to fill, made me remember why I like this community.

08Dec17 Update
Some more pictures of SFOS running on the OP5. I would classify this as a pre-alpha build. I will try to work out all of the bugs as soon as I can.
What Works:
GUI
Touch input
Vibration (somewhat)
What Doesnt work:
Cellular/wlan/bluetooth
Sound
Camera
Most likely other key functions...

Excellent!

This thread deserves more attention. As far as all the basic functions are working, I will switch to SFOS as my new daily driver. Thanks for your time and work :victory:

I'm working diligently to get this more stable. I won't post it until it has basic cell/wifi working. All thanks goes to my wife who gets annoyed when I'm constantly working on this project. Haha

Thanks for your hard work!

Good stance to take, mate! You have a far better chance of getting it up working than I do with most of my programming knowledge being limited to bash scripting. If you need a second pair of eyes on the code, though, I'm up for at least trying to understand it.

Could be worth looking into halium , there's porting work happening for the OP5. Sailfish os could potentially run on top of it.

I dont know how far along Halium is for the OP5. I've been trying to get ahold of MarioGrip for a few weeks now. I was able to get the UI started with the help of mal, guhl, zhxt, and many others. Check my work on github (www.github.com/xreactx) if you or anyone else wants to see where i may be wrong. My next step is to try and get the wifi to work, then cellular.

What is so especially at Sailfish OS ?
