[Q] how to flash from AOSP builded images?

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!

Dave

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.

[Q] Need assistance with Rom PORT

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).

[GUIDE] How to build AOSP kernel from source S4 Mini (i9195 & i9190)

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

Author: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
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!

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!

Introduction
Runs on Windows & Linux with WINE
MiPatcher is designed to append MIUI to any CM base that shares the same 'Build.id'. This can be found in build.prop.
At the same time this will also serve as a technical guide for folks just starting out with porting MIUI in the 4.4 era, those doing this by hand or others who are just returning to the game.
MiPatcher is not a substitute for PatchROM and is not the same in function by any means although it can use Patch components on the most basic level.
This is geared more toward people who are trying to build a functional MIUI for neglected devices and also for people testing various bases who may not yet be configured to build from source to accommodate some of MIUIs functionality.
MiPatcher is as of right now very straight-forward; you pick the resolution for the device you are porting for and it will adjust the Donor MIUI to 'look right' on your device.
Requirements
- Autohotkey (Only if you intend to run the source for this)
- CyanogenMod 11
*Disabled SELinux
*Boot.img edits (for full functionality if not using PatchROM)
*Modified seapp_contexts (At Kernel level for use with PatchROM, at source level for manual porting/using this tool)
**Stock CM with init.d support may also be used; although it will be sloppy.
- MIUI donor firmware with the same 'Build.id' found in /system/build.prop
- PatchROM resources (If your Donor is a different resolution, you do not 'need' them unless things look terrible)
*Or get PatchROM resources here if you intend to grab for every resolution; it's half the size of the one on Github better compression
- WinRAR or 7zip
Features
- Automatically append MIUI to any same code-base firmware.
- Append init.d on supported devices to force boot without changes to the kernel
Prep-work
Only three files must be edited for test-ports, which I'll cover now.
Framework-res.apk
Open your Base and donor Framework-res.apk, navigate to res/xml and import the following XMLs:
Code:
Storage List
Power Profile
Build.prop
Code:
ro.build.version.incremental=x.xx.xx
persist.sys.root_access=0
ro.config.notification_sound=xxx.ogg
ro.config.alarm_alert=xxx.ogg
ro.config.ringtone=xxx.ogg
ro.skia.use_data_fonts=1
ro.miui.ui.version.code=3
ro.miui.ui.version.name=V5
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 **[U] If you have no physical HW keys.[/U]
Updater-Script
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/lbesec"); ***If LBEsec exists in your donor
set_perm(0, 1000, 06750, "/system/xbin/shelld");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
With these most basic edits, MIUI will boot but with the need to install MIUI Lite to fix themes partially; as native ThemeManager, updater and backup will FC continuously.
Planning to use PatchROM? If you have an unlocked BL device or a device that will accept an unsigned kernel you can split your boot.img's ramdisk and add the following entries to 'seapp_contexts' immediately under user=shell, like this :
user=shell domain=shell type=shell_data_file
Code:
user=theme seinfo=platform domain=platform_app type=platform_app_data_file
user=backup seinfo=platform domain=platform_app type=platform_app_data_file
user=updater seinfo=platform domain=platform_app type=platform_app_data_file
And above anything else that may follow user=shell.
If you are not planning on using PatchROM, you will have to disable SELinux fully and edit your 'seapp_contexts' in source. In CyanogenMod11 source it is located in the following directory:
Code:
external/sepolicy/seapp_contexts
Now it's time to kill SELinux, navigate to your Kernels config folder in source; generally found at:
Code:
kernel/brand name/kernelname-common/arch/arm/configs
and find 'kernelname_defconfig' or 'kernelname_selinux_defconfig', change the following value to 'n':
Code:
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=[B]n[/B]
This will yield a functional CyanogenMod11 that can be used with PatchROM without issue, and can also be used to just fork firmware which is useful in the case of unified device builds, which Patch does not really like so much.
Now that you've built your base the following edits must be made to the kernel's Ramdisk:
Init.rc
Add this line at the very end of init.rc
Code:
import /init.miui.rc
init.miui.rc
Create this file in the root of your ramdisk and place the following inside:
Code:
#service for shelld
service shelld /system/xbin/shelld
class main
#service for su
service su_daemon /system/xbin/su --daemon
class main
oneshot
service lbesec /system/xbin/lbesec
class main
oneshot
init.superuser.rc
Code:
Delete this file
init.cm.rc
Add a '#' to the following line to disable the calling of init.superuser.rc
Code:
[B]#[/B]import /init.superuser.rc
Default.prop
Change the following values:
Code:
ro.adb.secure=[B]0[/B]
ro.secure=[B]0[/B]
ro.allow.mock.location=[B]1[/B]
Once these edits have been made your base can now be adapted to MIUI.
MiPatcher Instructions
1. Extract the contents of baserom.zip to 'base'
2. Extract the contents of miuidonor.zip to 'donor'
3. Inside of the PatchROM resources zip, extract 'HDPI' 'xHDPI' and 'xxHDPI' into the 'PatchROM' folder
4. Run MiPatcher, select your resolution and if you haven't made any kernel editing or done special source building, use soft-mods.
5. Zip the contents of 'Base' and flash it.
6. If this yields a non-booting build your codebase is too distant from your donor, find another same Build.ID release and try again if not proficient with ADB.
Current version:0.01
0.01: First release, Basic functionality and enough to produce one-shot ports when the base is properly prepared.
0.01: x64 x86 stand-alone .exe
Next Version:0.02
0.02: Clean up redundant/inefficient code.
0.02: Add options for boot.img, build.prop, meta-inf backup and loading.
*to avoid having to edit or manually move these with each attempt on base.
Download
9/28/2014: MiPatcher x86&x64
This is stand-alone and requires nothing to run, PatchROM parts are optional but suggested nonetheless.
Source
To use this source as an executable 'program' you must download and install Autohotkey, after right-click on your desktop to create a new '.ahk' file, paste the contents of this inside of it and save.
Create the following folders in the same folder as your .ahk file, the folder structure should mimic the following in terms of layout with extracting things:
-base
*META-INF
*System
*Boot.img
-donor
*META-INF
*System
*Boot.img
-mod create two notepad++ files with no extension, name them the following and place the respective content inside:
*00lbesec
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/lbesec &
*00shelld
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/shelld &
-patchrom
*HDPI
*xHDPI
*xxHDPI

FAQ
Q: My ROM isn't booting!
A: Try another MIUI that uses the same Build ID as yours, or use ADB to debug your build as it will be really close either way.
Q: Is there any difference between using a .ahk file and a .exe?
A: Yes. It's easier to update by pasting new code into a .ahk text file than to download packed .exe files in the longrun; however when using a .exe you don't need to install Autohotkey.
I will make standalone .exe for this at some point soon today.
Q: Theme/Updater/Backup is FCing!
A: It's a SELinux related error, sounds like you may be using PatchROM or a unified build; in this case build from source with the Seapp_context, and with SELinux turned off.
Q: Storage isn't mounting!/File Explorer is closing!
A: Import CyanogenMod11's 'StorageList' located in Framework-res.apk/res/xml into MIUI's along with the 'PowerProfile' to resolve unreadable storage
Q: [Insert name] App is crashing...
A: Debug using ADB or find another donor if you're feeling lazy, most of the time this yields perfect results but some things will maybe need a little polish depending on how far the codebase from the Donor and your Base firmware are.
Big TY to:
Code:
* Sijav
* Chevelle
* Yun
* All the Russian firmware developers, ahead of everyone else by a bit..

Edit: Yes this tool works in ubuntu with WINE, but only as a .exe, it can't run as a .ahk file I believe.. I mean I've never tried running raw .ahk files in Linux

Can I post here if I've trouble with the software?

I'll try from one plus one (4.4.4)
If we need to wait. I prefer waiting for Redmi 1S which have a configuration very near to Moto G's one.

Works perfectly fine on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits (I've used x64 one).
I'll flash the zip file. Keep you updated.

ok, I'll have to build you guys CyanogenMod from my code-base.. give me a few hours and I'll get it built by the end of today
Edit: I'm going to automate this in a very strong way; by the time this tool reaches 'stable' I will have ideally automated everything so that people with a totally unsupported device can have everything done for them from building to having MIUI applied without having to manually do anything.
It will not be as recent as a PatchROM build but it will be a 'sure bet' for anyone looking to use a pretty recent internal version of MIUI; I'm not trying to make a platform to replace PatchROM It's essential but I am trying to make a platform to enable people to just use MIUI without having to pull teeth over it

Amazing ...
Is the source code available ?
@Tqr the tutorial stays a bit un-clear :
Why using patchrom after porting ? Can we use it during porting ?
All the stuff about patchROM is a bit complicated.
We need to re-build an entire CM11 without Selinux ?

When using PatchROM you can leave SELinux intact, when porting manually/using this tool you must fully disable SELinux or use a base that does not have it to begin with.
You don't even need to touch PatchROM to use this, or Linux honestly.. even the PatchROM Resources aren't required unless you're coming from a device with a different resolution sometimes.. but not always
Edit: Otherwise make the following edits I've outlined to CyanogenMod in source, I feel I was pretty clear on what to change

You need to compile it. You are trying to flash the whole 600-750 mb file with no updater-script LOL. The sources are broken which I fixed. They are meant to be compiled

Haha thanks bro , but I don't know how to compile it ,can you guide me some procedure how to do compile or suggestions me some compiling YouTube videos which is similar for Lenovo k8 note mobile (I'm trying to change my display quality)
