Hello!
Im currently trying to build a vannila froyo 2.2 rom from the source! How do i flash the images when im ready? Is there something like fastboot on the g1 or htc magic?

I haven't had the time to try to build myself, but wouldn't you be better off starting with the Samsung open source for your carrier/model rather than trying to figure out all the changes you'd need to make to get AOSP to run on the Tab?

Erhh - Samsung open source only contains the kernel. You need the rest of Android, which is what the AOSP is for!

Don't know about the others, but the one for the SCH-I800 on VZW is not just the kernel. All of the things like the custom notification bar/settings for white and black levels, et cetera, go well beyond vanilla android in the Tab. I haven't gone through the platform.tar, but it has notices about stuff for, TouchWiz, et cetera (now whether it can actually run as built directly from what they've made available all bets are off, I know a direct compile of the kernel code didn't work for me, but I haven't had time to do more than a simple straight attempt to build and may have screwed something simple up). It's around 85MB for the DJ11 code for Verizon.
Edit: I'd understand if you needed most of it from AOSP though for a full build, and stand corrected.
And how do i flash the created system.img and data.img? The kernel will be in the zImage format as im going to build the kernel from samsung's opensource files!

You don't. Samsung uses different partition layout and formats.
Use the Samsung tar files to overlay over AOSP as described in their readme file.
Ah ok! Thank you
from Readme file:
How to build:
< Kernel >
1. Unzip SPH-P100_Kernel.tar.
( You can find SPH-P100_Kernel.tar in the same directory with this README.txt . )
2. Refer another "README.txt" in the tar file to build the kernel source code.
< Platform >
* NOTICE *
Galaxy Tab is launched in many countries, including Europe and North Amarica.
S/W is almost the same but there are some differences between the European version(GT-P1000) and the US Sprint version(SPH-P100).
The open source codes to be open here are only the differences.
1. Get Android open source code:
: version info - Android froyo 2.2 (android-cts-2.2_r2)
( Download site : http://source.android.com )
2. Get GT-P1000 open source code
: GT-P1000_OpenSource.zip
( Download site : http://opensource.samsung.com )
Unzip it, then you will see the file GT-P1000_Platform.tar.bz2 which includes the platform source code.
3. Overwrite GT-P1000 Platform OpenSource to the Android open source.
4. Get SPH-P100 open source code:
: SPH-P100_OpenSource.zip
( Download site : http://opensource.samsung.com , version info : DJ14 )
5. Overwrite SPH-P100_Platform_DJ14 OpenSource to the Android + GT-P1000(European) Platform open source code.
6. Overwrite the Platform source code that comes from the Sprint version(SPH-P100_Platform_DJ30).
7. Do "make"

If I understand correct. (for the kernel at least) You could just take a package like monks then swap out the zImage and *.ko files for the samsung ones. resign the zip. Then flash it from the clockworkmod recovery.
I believe we need repo init -b android-cts-2.2_r2 ... and overlay the Samsung tar contents on top of it.
I've basically decided to try porting for learning purposes. At this moment I have a flash-able zip in idle until I get my phone this Friday.
So, with all the issues and controversies surrounding the Nexus 4 -- many of which are software related -- I decided that porting Jellybean 4.1.2 would be fitting. I need advice and critique from an experienced Rom Porter before I go ahead and flash my creation. I will detail my activities below but please PM me or reply here with your requests for files that may indicate the integrity of my port (build.prop for example).

Welcome to Kernel build guide.
WITH THIS METHOD YOU WILL GET installable zip for your kernel.
My english is not best but i think you all will understand this guide . I write this guide because i dont own S4 Mini anymore and unfortunally i cant build kernels or roms anymore for s4 mini.
this is my kernel build method. you will have everything (tools) for build a kernel for s4 mini device. if you have questions, then ask it here. this kernel method is working only aosp based kernel (not tested for tw kernel but it may also work but you need ramdisk of tw kernel)
be sure you have packages installed for build something like this, or edit or clone a github source. look at cm kernel build guides.
1. Download build-s4-mini-kernel.zip [here]
extract it to root of your user directory (my is /home/proxuser/)
2. We need toolchain 4.7.4 by Christopher83 original thread [here]
download
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-linaro_4.7.4-2013.07-build_2013_07_12.tar.bz2
extract arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-linaro_4.7.4-2013.07 folder to toolchains folder (home/yourusername/toolchains) and name it linaro_4.7.4
Download Build scripts from my source here
download:
- abooteur_3g.img
- abooteur_lte.img
- build_all.sh
- build_eur_3g.sh
- build_eur_lte.sh
- build_master.sh
- mkbootfs
- mkbootimg
and put them to your kernel folder "root folder of your kernel".
if you want clone a kernel source: example CyanogenMod's cm-10.2 kernel then
open Terminal, and be in user root folder /home/yourusername (just open terminal and your there)
Code:
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_msm8930-common.git -b cm-10.2
if you want clone my Kartal kernel then
Code:
git clone https://github.com/proxuser/kartal.git -b master
it will named "if you cloned cyanogenmod kernel android_kernel_samsung_msm8930-common" if you clone my kernel then it will named "kartal"
you can rename kernel folder, its not problem.
if you want change of kernel name(example kartal), then go yourkernel/arch/arm/configs/kartal_defconfig and edit CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-Kartal" change only "Kartal" for your kernel's name. if you want change defconfig example "kartal_defconfig" to "yourkernel_defconfig" then you need change it in build_master.sh too that it builds with your config file.
if you downloaded your kernel source and your build tools are there then lets start
Open terminal
type
Code:
cd yourkernelfolder
for build both phones i9195 & i9190
Code:
./build_all.sh
if it denies access for build_all.sh then type
Code:
chmod 777 build_all.sh
you can give all files access with this command.
for build i9195
Code:
./build_eur_lte.sh
for build i9190
Code:
./build_eur_3g.sh
finally it will start building. it will done within 4-5 min. depend your pc speed.
after it builds succesfully, your kernel will be in your /home/yourusername/Packages/ folder
IF YOU WANT add new changes from CM or other kernel to your kernel
then open Terminal
cd yourkernelfolder
git remote add CyanogenMod https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_msm8930-common.git
git fetch CyanogenMod
this will fetch CyanogenMod kernel changes but it will not apply to your kernel. you will add changes step by step yourself. copy commits SHA from CyanogenMod kernel and
open Terminal
Code:
git cherry-pick 2108e6c3109ae126590a81876145a1f17d6771b5
if you get success on pick a commit then you will get a message like this
Code:
[email protected]:~/kernel$ git cherry-pick a41564437a0eb910d0347d274456f3f0116c3c77

if you get an error like this
Code:
[email protected]:~/kernel$ git cherry-pick 63ee35463ea3ec5d4e8f2c60ad0f70abd8463733
error: could not apply 63ee354... ARM: 7809/1: perf: fix event validation for software group leaders
hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
thats mean it is not applied to your files. just type "git status" to see what files are not modified.
then type: git reset --hard for go to your last commit.
this will make changes of error commit back.
Work always with git because with this way you can save a lot your changes and you can restore anything anytime.

I really appreciate these posts! :good:
wonderful. thank you very much :good:
Srry wrong topik..
I have built your kernel successfully, but after flashing the .zip the device is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S4mini" Bootscreen.
I tested it with the this two roms:
- cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-serranoltexx
- CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20131026-1327-serranoltexx
Do you have any idea why it's not working?
Edit: I used arcos source and it is working fine now
@junkyde
Can't get the stock kartal kernel to build.
What for OS are you running in your virtual box? ubuntu? 86x or 64x?
Did you install any other buildtools?
there isn't a stock kartal kernel. kartal kernel is aosp. I am using Linux Mint 15 in a 64bit version on Virtual Box.
Ps: I had also my troubles with ubuntu x86 and x64, thats why I switched.

Got it working under Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
Had some troubles because mkboofs and mkbootimg could not be found.
After installing : "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" everything was fine
Now I will try to compile the 10,1 kernel from source, lets see how that goes..

Yes I know, that this is required, when you are working with a 64bit system. But I couldn't get this installed in Ubuntu. On Mint everything worked fine. But I am glad you made it
@junkyde
After some trial and error I've succesfully compiled the cm 10.1 kernel.
Can you give me any direction on how to compile the custom liblights?
Do I need to download the full cm 10.1 source?
I used proxusers tutorial on how to build carbon rom. Downloaded full rom, modified lights.c and compiled whole rom.
Can someone build a kernel for the i257m
It would be nice if there was some kernel mods for this. especially just a near stock one with insecure root permissions.
The source is out if anyone was wondering

What do you mean by this? Add changes that cm has done after you last downloaded them or changes you want to do to customize the kernel?

What does this means and where do you get that ID? I would think that after fetching the changes from the source it will have been added to all the files you have already downloaded. Thanks for the tutorial!

junkyde here you don't mention lights.c, aren't they needed for 10.1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49958578&postcount=215
yes you need custom liblights for BLN, but since I have compiled them already, you can use the one from inside the .zip of my kernel.

And if I go there I indeed can't find the zImage, where can I get it?
PS: Used the characters "..." to denote abridgment of the compilation verbose printout.
Forgot to add, I'm downloaded the cyanogenmod kernel from build 10.1 since that's the cyanogenmod version I use and for the one I need to make this mod, could this be the cause of the problem? Googling it seems that the kernel version you use may need a specific toolchain version.

I think it doesn't matter, I used the same for different roms and it worked. Source is as I said the lights.c file inside of the rom.

I'm not using kartal but the one downloaded from cm. Thought the instructions were generic and the script took into account wether you had downloaded the kernel from cm or kartal :/, I did go inside the directory with all the defconfig files, how do I know which one should I point it to on cm-10.1 kernel?
Regarding the lights.c then I just have to include that library on the same directory you put it in your kernel AND add the changes you pointed to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49958578&postcount=215 and I would be set?
Thanks!
Hi all.
I have successfully flashed PsychoGame's CyanogenMod 7 ROM for GT-s5360 together with its kernel.
Now i would like to make some changes in the source code of CM7 and to build it from source. Unfortunately i have spent already 4 days without success.
Those are the steps that i did:
1. I have downloaded CM7 source code from git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
2. I have cloned PsychoGame's totoro device code into /devices/samsubg/totoro
3. i have connected my device via USB and run the script extract-files.sh which successfully extracted all files.
4. during the building i realized that the above script extract all essential files (like camera related), so i cloned PsychoGame's vendor directory from github.com/PsychoGame/android_vendor_samsung_totoro.git
5. now i realized that the file cyanogem_totoro.mk in the directory vendor/cyanogen/products is missing. where i can find a suitable file?
i have found somewhere such file and succeeded to build an ROM, unfortunately CWM does't let me to flash it because the assert command checks that the current device in "totoro" but it fails. i have tried to open the zip file of the ROM and to delete the assert command but CWM still can''t flash the new ROM.
can somebody please help me with some guild about how PsychoGame built his last vertion of CM - CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 5 Release
Thank you very much!
Use percys source code - It has more fixes

I am trying to build a custom kernel for my redmi 2 running on Nexus Experience. I found there kernel source at their github page in nx_kernel_xiaomi_msm8916 . It's the only kernel referring to XIAOMI so I think it is the right one.
I am really new to kernel building. I read some tutorials on the web and tried building one for the stock miui rom but it didn't work out.
So before I start re-building the kernel for Nexus Experience I had some questions. I wanted to add the support for external wifi adapters based on RTL8188CUS. I found the option to enable it. My question is that , By just enabling that feature will my phone just start supporting the adapter out of the box or do I have to add some Modules to it.
And the last question, After I compile the kernel I get this zImage file. I put this file in the anyKernel.zip but I found that I also have to add the wlan.ko file and I couldn't find it....
I really need some help here.
