Hello. I am interested in building my own ROM. I have some computer knowledge, but I want to know, what tools and files do I need for creating one. So maybe someone can guide me or point me to a tutorials. I basically just want to try some things.
Is there a way to brick my phone by using a custom ROM?
Also, what is android 2.3.5? Google's latest is Android 2.3.3 .
Android Latest stable release
Tablets: 3.2 (Honeycomb)
Phones: 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) / 25 July 2011; 38 days ago
Latest Android release is 2.3.5 for phones
good new, should be more like you.
Latest android for smartphones is 2.3.5.
Regarding advices to build a new rom, nothing better than to speak to those that already did and have the knowledge (stcokwell, DZO, FFranco, Knzo, etc)
Search the posts of each rom and speak with respective developers.
Good luck and I waiting for your rom to test it
I'm interested too, but it requires more knowledge about linux. Kernels and so on.
So i'm thinkin is better to build kernels, there is sources, there is websites with how to and so o.. rom is more complex.
I'm bringing this thread up now.
I am currently downloading CyanogenMod's source, because of what I've read android.git.kernel.org is down. My first idea was to do a proper scene port of the latest Android. But well, this has better documentation anyway. So, I haven't got the source yet to browse, but is there a way to make a general build and if I understand correctly, it creates me a system.img? How to make it flashable by recovery? And if it fails to start, can I still get to the recovery? And about kernel, this has to be modified too, right?
And for last, if anyone has a good Android source code browsing/modifying e-book/video/whatever, can I have it?
-e-
I found that CyanogenMod can automatically make a signed .zip and on normal Android AOSP I can make it with "make otapackage". Is that right?
Any good read?

Hi all
So now that CM do Nightlys for the I9100, I would love to get the NFC part working on our lovely I9100P with this ROM.
I have done alot of searching through XDA regarding this but alot of it is old and not relevant to 4.4.2 (I think)
So I was thinking we can use this thread (MODS: close it if you do not think this deserves a thread) to collect info regarding the NFC part on our i9100P running 4.4.2 and how we can get it up and running 100% (reading tags and soo on) with CM 11 Nightly.
What i have tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407808 (long shot but just had to test it)
and
With jthatch12's patch from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822447 I do get the NFC settings but it just will not read any tags. (working on that in that thread)
So If anyone else want to help let me know and share what you know here. :good:

Before you cherry pick you must be able to build ROMs from source. I assume you haven't built before. Building is a moderately difficult process. You may search on Google regarding tutorials for building roms from source (ignore the tutorials teaching you how to use an android kitchen). After you have downloaded the source code you can start buildin and cherry picking. Regarding how to download and stuff you can start from here -

Hello all.
Like the title says, I am trying to compile my first kernel.
I really like the CM11 i9505 nightly kernel, but it would be amazing in my world if it also had voltage/overclock/and gov additions.
It is my understanding that if I compile the kernel myself adding these features would be easy as they mostly exist in a single file that I could copy from similar kernels.
I have been trying to build my first build environment, but it seems that I am failing in amazing ways by trying to follow the CM guides on the their wiki. :crying:
I have an i3 dell 6420 laptop with Ubuntu (installed and functional) that I am dedicating to this effort, but I seem to need spoon feeding on this first attempt.
Does any one have a good step by step guide that I could follow for building the CM11 kernel?
Failing that does anyone have the time to chat in a live state on a weekend or late evening to help build this?
Of course if someone has a CM11 nightly kernel with the added features, I wouldn't object to using that and not reinventing the wheel.
Wrong section,
Ask a forum moderator (any one) to move your thread to the developer only section(of this subfroum)[emoji6]

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.

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!
