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
Compare build.prop and update binary & scripts for cwm flashing

Percys github is

I haven’t compiled a Cyanogen rom before
If you would like to contribute to the building of Cyanogen roms the best person to talk to is percy

can please somebody explain how to build only Percys ROM without the kernel?
thank you
Hi all.
Can somebody please give a small guide for how to build percy's CM7 ROM from source?
which directories in the CM7 i should replace? does the process of building is the same as with official ports?
Thank you!
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.

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

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.

Hey guys, today after a long time i came back around to this subforum to see if there are any news for my yoga 2 380f but all i found were closed threads?! wtf happened?
after so many months of waiting one could finally unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery - but now even the posts in these threads are empty.... why?
I am in the mids of gathering all the files that I did manage to get before they were removed. My tab is 1050f. Have all the stuff somewhere fore it

New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 1050 soon !
Hello !
Was CLOSED because not respected XDA rules about GPL !
Almost all work here on XDA require open source code ... he preferred to erase everything he did here instead to provide source code
About TWRP :
A recovery image does contain a Linux kernel which is under GPLv2, and the TWRP source code is under GPLv3 (see the license header in https://github.com/omnirom/android_b...d-6.0/twrp.cpp)

On the other hand, tomorrow I'll provide a new TWRP 2.8.7.0 UI 6.0 for Yoga Tablet 2 1050 !
I already managed to fix kernel issue on Stock Lenovo Kernel Android L .
I already pushed all my work on my github : twrp-yt2 for TWRP 2.8.7.0 and also for kernel ! I'll update kernel very soon , because right now is stock one .
Also in a short time I'll try to make a cm-13.0 for our device .
Best regards !

Can I ask what device you are using as a Base or are you building a vendor folder from scratch
Thanks for your work. Looks like you have implemented pixel finger, I will try this later

Yes, was started from scratch... should be OK for all YT2.
Also pixelflinger for _X86 are implemented, twrp works fine. ... and sure will work on stock Lenovo kernel for Android L.
Best regards.
I take it you will solve the vendor blobs as you build to find them out?
I have twrp 3.0.0-0 source so will try with that.
You said the kernel is solved? It will build if I sync your github? Have you built a kernel yet? If so what toolchain are you using? I couldn't get it to build as it could find my toolchain.
From the branch 5.1 on your github, it won't work with cm13 source?
Again thanks for your work matey

Kernel and also twrp must be compiled along with cm-12.1.
As I already said , my kernel source cannot be compiled ...( Lenovo do not provide a complete one ), but I'll update today later in order to fix all Lenovo issues.
Best regards.
New TWRP 2.8.7.0 for YT2 - 1050 ! Source code already available !
I'm here to question the device owner. There are few sources around about this device. They are raw and they are as common always experimental. Does anyone need them?
Furthermore, I can sum up here any sources I or other get to find about this device or its periphery.
If you are eager to Void your Warranty please Mind and Acknowledge that every modification only affects you and your contract and noone else.

Very good thing, I'm trying to build a CM13 rom from sources and I'm not sure if I have all required sources. For now I have, kernel sources with some "vendor" files from Sony and I found all build parameters like offsets/adresses and correct cmdline (no thanks to Sony because never released or mentioned them), the device tree dumped from my device, and I will dump the vendor tree too.
Now I need the defconfig for CM (very not sure if the stock one will work) , and some files like the boardconfig and some config files. I'm using the Elephone P9000 sources for sample, almost the same device (hardware side) and source files.
If I have some time I will try to upload files to git but I never tried before (sync only)...

Don't need to hesitate. I'll try to put the directions I've gathered here up today so it is done.
I finished to upload my files to Github:
https://github.com/rrvuhpg
You will find the device, kernel and vendor files to build CM13 for F3112/F3116. For now it will not work, it's just to share and help. I successfully built and booted the Cyanogen recovery with the kernel from sources, the doors for porting new roms are open?? :fingers-crossed:
My next step is to finish the device tree, verify the vendor tree and build the rom

Can you publish some brief preview?
Need to say the sources I had just seem to be down, so can't share them.
Through which Program are these to flash? If you're that far I can hold a look at it and may join in your development.
Verification of the Vendor Files is something I was not very good at it, not even a yolk I managed.

For now the only preview I can publish are the CM13 boot and recovery "as is", I'm not sure if it can help but I will release them if someone want to port others MTK Roms on XA. ( Never booted any ported rom with the stock kernel, stuck at Sony logo)
Flashing is easy: the recovery with fastboot and Rom/boot in a single flashable zip on the SD.
The kernel sources are coming from 33.2.B.2.95 open source archive from Sony but built from the lastest CM13 and Google git sources.
The vendor tree from 33.2.B.2.93 dumped from my phone, only common files with the P9000 are on my git for now.
The device tree from P9000 sources (from @Deepflex git) but seem OK.
CM13 have Android 6.0.1, I don't know if the security patch is the last one but August for sure.
I'm not so far from a finished build (not mean fully bootable), for now I successfully build a full CM13 for the Elephone P9000 (the twin of the XA, I'm using it as base). It mean my "kitchen" is working Now I'm trying to identify the last proprietary files from all others stock/cm13 libs, modify make files and cross my fingers it will fully build without errors.
You can join me no problem all people are welcome because I can't do all alone

good work , but I am noob to create rom with kitchen .. only zip edit I know
Yesterday I successfully built CM13 for XA from sources
But news are not good, the CM recovery is fully working as expected but the rom is stuck just after the Sony logo (Mediatek screen with "loading...") like on my previous attempts to port other roms. The kernel built from CM kitchen do the same... I will upload my git and my rom to see if someone have an idea on the problem. Now I will focus on the "vendor" files, but I'm not sure if it's the real problem. Can it be a locked preloader/kernel or something like that?
EDIT: I think the boot problem is related to the defconfig file from Sony kernel sources, I will try to change some settings. (the door for adding kernel features :good

Thank you for your work on our phone, it's very cool.
I would have helped if i could develop myself. If you need help get in touch with me i know some great devs who could maybe help you
any news @rrvuhpg ?
Yes I have some news but I want to create a dedicated thread for the CM13 project with updates, explanations and downloads to avoid off topic here. I am on holiday on next week and I will have time to work on it and give explanations. For now I'm stuck on boot because of Sony extra settings in the boot process, it's the first time I see a bootstrap and TA partition mount on a MTK device. If you know a dev for helping me passing the Sony part in the boot init it can be great :angel:
Other thing, I updated my git with parts of the update made by @Deepflex on the P9000 sources and my recent changes.
