SO now that the source for ICS is out I have a question. Please excuse my ignorance as I am still trying to learn a few things.
The main question is if a kernel can be made for the note directly from the source and then the current modem files be flashed to it to make it work or do we have to wait for Samsung to release a version built of the source with custom drivers. I guess I am just not sure if the source contains drivers for some hardware or if it is all custom added on top of the rom.
I hope Tytung doesn't mind me posting this up but I just wanted to inform everyone that he has just released his Kernel source for ICS so devs can help on the development for the fellow HD2. From his post:
tytung said:
As promised, I have uploaded my latest ICS kernel source to the GitHub website.
https://github.com/tytung/android_kernel_htcleo-2.6.32-ics
I changed the kernel name to ics_htcleo_r1, a neutral name.
If anyone really want to help improve this ics kernel, please fix/add the following features first and consider sending me a git pull request.
Full Hardware Acceleration.
Proper hardware encoder for camcorder to record the smooth video.
More compatible touchscreen driver for ICS to fix pinch-to-zoom issue.
Proper VPN driver for ICS.
I uploaded my kernel source to the git mainly for the collaborative development.
In other words, don't add small stuff based on this kernel and then release a new kernel with your own name.
Thank you for your cooperation!

If any devs could help the further development of this Kernel that would mean a lot to the HD2 community Please give all your thanks to Tytung for all his hard work
Good job
Thank you tytung !
Hey there!
Are there any devs that want to built KitKat from source for our find5?
Thanks in advance.
I believe all 3rd party roms for Find 5 will upgrade to 4.4. At least the active ones who keep getting updates.

As soon as aosp Master branch is being updated to kitkat, cfxe will go for it hopefully it will come soon so we can get started
A side node: omni rom uses branch :android-4-4_r1 , whats diffrent from master branch is , that is the first release, and master branch is the dev branch. If we use 4-4_r1 99% sure nothing is being merged to aosp, but when we use master branch , changes is being merged to aosp sources.

Okay Guys,
I am working hard to bring up Cyanogenmod to our beloved moto g.
But i am a bit Noobish in this field.
I have been reading guides and following the process.
So far I have setup the build environment and synced the latest repo from CM sources.
Now, further most imp step is Vendor, Kernal and Device tree.
I have found this so far, by searching this forum only,
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/kitkat-4.4.4-release-titan
Now, reading further some guides, they say kernel and device tree will require some modification to work with CM12, but i couldnt find about this modification.
so I request all developers to guide me on this.
We can surely do this together. :fingers-crossed:

I love your initiative! Unfortunately I'm not a developer...
Send from my XT1068 using Tapatalk.
nice work mate.... developers are needed urgently....
Why do you think developers will find you and this thread? It works the other way. You need to find developers and ask for help. I suggest you start here and here
I keep my fingers crossed for the success of the project :highfive:
Yes, I am reading all possible guides given by the developers.
By that only i have reach this far.
But for device tree and kernel, device specific modifications are necessary, and I really need help of some one who has actually done this before.
If this is successful , we can have an alpha build of CM 12 , in 3-4 days.
@ N.K.V.
ok i will help you with this..
first we need to set up device tree and vendor trees....
there is 2 ways to do this
first:- get a official motorola stock lollipop update for your phone.
(unfortunately it not yet released for all variants)
examine the similar device trees like falcon or htc a5 (desire 816) of lg l90 or sony m2 or sony e3
compare the kernel sources of falcon and titan (these are kitkat sources so may be in future motorola will release updated lollipop kernel source)
there are various major differences.
set up a basic device tree from falcon with msm8226 common of cm repos.
take vendor blob list from falcon
adapt it for titan
extract vendor blob from phone.
compile the rom
second:- from existing 4.4.4 rom
repo sync kernel from github
make changes to falcon and msm8226 device tree to adapt titan
extract vendor blobs with falcon list
compile
problem with second approach is that you have to make many changes to kernel and other things
but if we get official moto update of lollipop with kernel source then it will be little easier...
still if you are going to compile and want to make a cm12 from 4.4.4 i am with you ...i will set up device trees and other trees to set up things in motion.....
and then we can change vendor blobs and kernel to lollipop when it get released...

okay guys,
let's keep this thread clean for developers.
you can always hit like to appreciate
UPDATE: @k2wl is working on kernel and device tree, it will take him some days.
@k2wl and N.K.V.
Thx for your time and work :good:
I wait for the right Software on xt1068!
I have a little bit of knowledge and i can learn really fast, if you guys need help, you can count on me
which model will this be for? (please say xt1064)

Doesn't matter. It will be for all variants!
absolutely brilliant, i wish i knew a lick of programming so that i could help get this done faster (i'm tired of seeing a SU update in play store and not being able to use it because it sends my G into a bootloop)
Thanks man, lollipop official update have a bug while playing music via bluetooth when screen is lock, can you fix it on this rom?
Ha ha...Let's make the ROM first..
Bug fixing in Second task.
Now that lollipop soak has started in India....i think Work should go fast. :beer:
Waiting for it. Please keep updated though!
I'm interested in helping with this.

Nice intitiative...but i think making device tree and vendor for this device will not be tht easy....still hope for best
Hello Folk,
i am Going to build custom roms for le 2 (x526) . But as of core requirement to build any custom rom , first i need 3 source codes which are
1)Kernel Sources (I have that)
2)Device tree sources (Hoping for someone to build this)
3)Vendor Tree sources (Again, we dont have that too)
So if you are serious about custom roms them support me and Ask for any experienced developer to Get these two Tree sources .

This mobile contains snapdragon 652, which is rare currently in devices. So i don't think anyone has bring up device tree for this device. I am looking to purchase this device and then do some stuff for it, let's see if i bought it.
