(DEV) Cyanogen Mod Development

I am aware that there hasn't been much talk about porting over the lovely CM to our DHD's and i have decided to create this thread as a 'one-stop-shop' for all CM related info to our DHD's. If a dev comes forward and states they would like to start porting over CM that would be awesome, (and yes i would do it myself but im 17 have A2's and therefore don't have the time or resources)! I plan to keep this thread regularly updated and i hope that some advancements are made in this area. Feel free to brainstorm, make suggestions etc in the thread but please try to keep on topic.
Thanks

Is there any Development coming soon from you or someone else on this thread? If not..I will move it to General since there is no ROM, software or actual development going on.
Please PM me.

i beleive the cyanogen mod team will release for this device.
they uploaded a kernel based on the ace and tweaks for the vision added to it so it was 1 kernel fits all.
so its clear intentions are to produce roms for both. but first we need custom recovery.
if you want link i will try provide

Yes I was aware cyanogen used the Ace kernel for his vision 'bacon bits' but i was under the impression this was done purely due to us having a later kernel version. As i understand cyanogen has a G2 and hasnt really mentioned the DHD himself. However your are right in saying im sure someone in the team will dev CM. Yes the clockwork recovery image would definitely be stage 1, if someone could compile it ASAP it would definitely kick start development for our DHD.

CyanogenMod

I know this is developement section and i should not post like this but i want to tell that whenever i open this developement section i see some new froyo custom roms or rom upgrades with several new features , nothing more. I think it is enough creating roms like v1.0 then v1.1 then v1.2 then v1.3 and so on. Galaxy 5 uses enjoying cyanogen but we can't. All devs are in the race for providing better froyo roms but no on one wants to provide cyanogen, why? because it is not possible. If port of cyanogen is possible in g5 then not in g3. G3 is better phone then G5. Shall we have to satisfied only with froyo roms? All devs are giving their best but it is enough creating new version of froyo in every week, do something new, port CYANOGEN which we really wants.I don't know anything about programming, coding, i can't do anything but all u devs are able to port cyanogen to our device. So please stop doing like v1.0=>v1.1=>v1.2=>v1.3 and do Cyanogen.All devs please combilne at one place and give us CYANOGEN.

Cyanogen can be ported to our phone. I have no idea how can i do this, i may give it a try in summer but i will fail, it is sure. But i will start to learn coding, & kernel compiling (the basics).

Maybe a few of the devs come together, make a team and then work on this

m ready to learn and try

you are right but seriously its not EASY! you should have very good programming skills... and why is CM so good anyway? i would prefer MIUI port. when you say cyanogen mod i assume you mean the latest GB version? what is so great in GB anyway? i mean yeah its newer than froyo but still, i have my own tablet and it runs 2.3 (3.0 is coming ) and i dont think its that great... i like the edge glow and on/off animation but thats it. we CAN have the same features on froyo! and besides IF we would port GB it would take so much time that android 2.5 would be out already and then everybody would say that GB sucks... thats all

It's a lot lot of work to do it.

Hey, like u modify kernel with coding, cant we modify the ROM from the source files??not for cyanogen but to improve froyo better??

In fact, you must start from source files as you must compile all. No ?
In example, for gingerbread, I started compiling it from google source, but I'm stuck with libaudio library.
I took libaudio source code from sgs and I will see if I can compile them and continue.
In addition, you should adapt kernel 2.6.35 for the apollo device, and that's a big work too.
Or if we are lucky, kernel 2.6.32 could work ... I don't know.

I know it is not easy but please devs do something. If porting once started we will defenetily get Cyanogen.

The thing is cyanogen takes alot of time and there's no encouragement so I say whoever devs GB then I will donate £10 to them and I know many others will.

The best thing wat I feel is stopping any further froyo roms n start porting cm/miui/gb same as v0.1 > v0.2 releasing small mods I think everyone here will help testing them....i dont mind even my phone explodes...i have no idea how u techie guys do all this things all I know is flash watever u guys release n test it so we can make a better g3...

Before you must have a basic framework working and only that it's really a big work to do.

can't u guys make the screen on/off animation on froyo, that would be really cool

well do that as soon as the guy who already did that will release his mod

We shall ask motafoca for help, he does not have a sg3 but has a lot of knowledge and experience porting Gingerbread to sg5!
Once we have some clue or knowledge on how to start with we then can try/experiment ways to accomplish CyanogenMod.
Some proof for Sg5 having 2.3>here

As for people who want to port GB or Cyanogen flores said in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13132913&postcount=51 that he has already done work on gingerbread so i guess devs like apollo or other people who have experience in the kernel front can have something to work upon....... what i mean is there are a few devs who have mentioned about their incomplete works on Cyanogen/gingerbread, if an experienced developer can combine all their individual work we can have something actually working........

ok first of all dont take flores too seriously... he just talks too much and never does anything so i doupt that he has done anything more than looked at GB and said he can port it... i have asked about his project and quess what? nothing.

True is that we have too many custom roms, but changes only name and theme. We can customize everything in froyo rom, but we need to have some1 who can customize kernel! We have one kernel by our hero marcel and thats all! His kernel is used by every rom here. Always same:
New custom rom!
Same features as another rom
Thanks to marcellube for his kernel
We dont need gb, we dont need cm7
But
We need MORE KERNELS!!!

question for all! how can you ask for cyanogen if you wont help anyone? i have asked for people who know java (i know there are people who knows java) but nobody hasnt commented on my thread we could do it but nobody wants to help... all we need is some guys who knows java programming... so is there ANYONE? if there is contact me on this thread or my other thread in general section....

i totally agree! more kernels with different features like on sgs forums... we have already lost one great kernel developer gsam101 who developed the first custom and best kernels for us

[DEV] Sense 3.5 Development

So after all these threads regarding Sense 3.5 which none worked out in a solution to having this rom stable and resized for our device i started fixing it all by myself because i want this on my phone so much. Anyone who would actually help me in resizing the rom and fixing any issues or providing logcats and stuff and be interested in the development of Sense 3.5 pm me. Development may take a lot of time but we don't have to hurry. Im not saying that i will be the one to fix it immediately, this is just an attempt.
This is the most functional rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564495

Why not submit the idea to TeamBuzz? I'm sure we could organize roles for developers in TeamBuzz to do something with Sense 3.5

Nice idea Justice, I can help with logcat and resizing, however i have no idea in how to fix gps,bt and wifi
@rayven18 can you provide a link of the most functional sense 3.5 rom for buzz, a list of what needs resizing, what fc and things that doesn't work?
Thanks in advance

Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564495 This is currently the most functional sense 3 rom. It boots and you can work on it. The bugs i know is the ones mentioned in the original thread (framework-res and com.htc.resources need resizing, gps and some services dont function) Because its based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.5, we can experiment with replacing libs and baksmaling services.jar and framework.jar and replace the code with the one from a cm rom that might make the gps and other things work just fine

Lol, 1st i will say good luck.
Now please dont take this as a nasty post but it did make me laugh..... You say " after all these threads regarding sense 3.5..... " and now youve just made another one.
Seriously though goodluck with any developments.

Have you tested it? In all the builds I've worked on the hwcomposer library wasn't getting compiled, leading to display not working, although everything else is(I think). Although @Aaahh probably fixed it just now. Compiling though.
If it boots, mind telling me the things you changed?

Good work you guys.
I didn't have a problem with hardware composer.
The only issue i had was to get the kernel to compile inline.
so i compiled it separately and used the zimage as a prebuilt.
Not booting at the moment

Added to OnePlus One index thread:
[INDEX] OnePlus One Resources Compilation Roll-Up
Transmitted via Bacon

No boot confirmed, stays on 1+ screen, and fastboot works from that screen as well.

Can people start testing their builds to see that it actually boots before making threads and sharing it with the community?
This is the second time in one day that this has happened.

Yeah that's building 101...don't make a thread until it boots :-/ smh

All the things wrong with this thread:
makes a thread without testing it.
Runs away for a day saying out of town.

Ok Now
It has taken very hard work to reach here and even get the rom to compile.
There are CM based roms already available which boot and work .
The purpose of posting this thread is to share my work so far on an AOSP build. The idea is, if I am missing something, someone else can pick it up and better it.
If someone still thinks it is a wrong idea, please delete this thread.
Happy for that, no worries.

There's certainly no need to remove the thread. It's labelled appropriately as a test build, and this is what XDA is all about the core, this is development. Keep up the good work.

[Q] can someone teach me how to build a ROM

My friend owns an samsung galaxy tab 4 t-230 and would love to upgrade it into a more pure android. Since i kind of got into android ROMs and there are no AOSP or CM roms for the tab 4 t-230 this would be a great chance for me to build a AOSP or CM rom. I have ubuntu 14.10 and a decent enough pc with 16 gb of ram and an i7. If anyone could help me abit of how to build a AOSP or CM rom for the device i would be verry thankfull.
----------------------Edit-----------------------
I wanted to say thank to you guys! I did quite some progress by now. If you own a t230 / nu then feel free to check out my custom kernel

Relevant post - some starting info, and check out the CM wiki he links to. Also, and this is a very basic step, but if you've never done this before it can be informative: download a rom zip file (preferably but not necessarily a stock-based kitkat rom for this device) and open it up in either 7zip or WinRar, check out the layout and structure, and familiarize yourself with the updater-script. (Actually you can do that with a firmware tar file too). Sorry I can't give you any more useful info, not a dev, definitely not a rom designer, just a guy who knows a fair amount of android stuff.
Also don't let the tone of that post discourage you; the poster was answering a guy who was basically asking about the feasibility of building a brand new rom for the sole purpose of being able to use one particular proprietary Samsung app. Yes it is difficult, but still doable, and you say you're motivated...

Yes i did forgot to say that any links for learning are appriciated

Well.. I would ask moonbutt74 for more info regarding commands and such, probably more info than I can give but.. keep in mind your going to have to download about 20+GB of source code and all that. Also a bunch more knowledge of more things I don't remember. But it is alot

Well I decided to revisit this thread. Never thought I would come so far. I really want to say thanks to all of you who supported me and still support me. Everyone has a beginning and here was mine. Now I am actually there where I really wanted to be. Releasing a custom kernel and finally work on a custom ROM! Thank you XDA!

I'm amazed on how much people learn and achieve as well as myself. I've seen people who were total newbies then later built custom recoveries, CM12, Mods, Roms etc. Anyway good luck on working your rom!

Also I thank you my life for introducing me to moonbutt74. He learned me everything from how to work with custom kernels to Roms. Sadly he decided to stop developing a few Werks ago but he's doing it for his own good. I still will mention @moonbutt74 on my future projects because he really is the one who changed me from confused to knowing what is actually going on. So thanks allot !
