[Q] build kernel by self

@dorimanx @daniel.stuart14 @REV3NT3CH @savoca @RenderBroken
Hi devs i would to learn how to build rom and kernel for d802 variant for myself.
I have build cm12 with success and it works flawlessly.
Now i want to build kernel compatible with cm 12.
I downloaded kernel from this source: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_msm8974/tree/cm-12.0
I have used linaro toolchain 4.9.2 for a15 cpu, during the build i had a few of errors but i have fixed it, after that i have my zImage and dtb files prepared...
So i have used boot.img from previously cm 12 build(i take it from zip file to flash) to get ramdisk and zImage.
Then i have switch the original zImage with my zImage-dtb from my build and i modified files from ramdisk.
I have flashed this kernel through loki_tool but i'm stuck on lg logo...
So my question is i have to use zImage or zImage-dtb from my build?
What about creating dt.img, its obligatory?
Can i use this offset to build my kernel or i have to change it?
Code:
base=0x00000000
pagesize=2048
ramdisk_offset=0x05000000
tags_offset=0x04800000
Sorry for disturb but im curious and i want to do it by myself, so i hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance

Use this script to compile and create your image. (put in root folder of kernel)
You'll need edit it, and change:
build path. (in my script is: build=/home/daniel/android-dev/kernel_test)
Cross compile path
You'll need change the defconfig path, too.
Change the config="xxx_defconfig", to the defconfig's name of all the g2 variants in "arch/arm/configs".
And put it in your kernel root directory, too. (It's the open_bump, so you don't need loki it again, you can use my installation script + lcd.sh, in ozip folder.)
And, if for some reason you haven't installed the mkbootimg yet, download it, extract. Then, go to the folder that you've extracted, and do that:
Code:
sudo cp mkbootimg /bin/mkbootimg
sudo chmod 755 /bin/mkbootimg
sudo cp dtbToolCM /bin/dtbToolCM
sudo chmod 755 /bin/dtbToolCM
sudo cp mkbootfs /bin/mkbootfs
sudo chmod 755 /bin/mkbootfs
sudo cp mkboot /bin/mkboot
sudo chmod 755 /bin/mkboot
You'll need extract the ramdisk in ramdisk folder on root kernel folder, so you can use "mkboot" for it.
It'll say to you the ramdisk_offset, tags_offset and cmdline. So, change this in export.sh if there's a difference between.
After this. go to your kernel folder, and then: ./export.sh
OBS: In the first time you execute the script, it create the zimage, if everything goes right, execute the script again, and it'll create a zip with boot.img inside.

Hi thanks for your reply i will try this !
Which configs i have to use those one cyanogenmod_d802_config or open_g2 and so on?

I think is the cyanogenmod_d802_config.

@daniel.stuart14
i have updater-script like this:
ui_print("ebreo kernel for lg g2 d802 variant");
ui_print("Installing modules...");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system/lib/modules");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/lib/modules");
unmount("/system");
package_extract_file("lcd.sh", "/tmp/lcd.sh");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
ui_print("Installing boot.img...");
show_progress(0.500000, 10);
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/lcd.sh");
assert(run_program("/tmp/lcd.sh") == 0);
delete("/tmp/lcd.sh");
ui_print("Done!");
show_progress(1.000000, 10);

Okay, you should use logcat.
But first, try compile without the changes in kernel that you did.

So all is gone good

oh, okay.
You can boot, and after some minutes it reboot? Or are you in bootloop?
You can only use logcat if the rom starts.
For it, you must enable ADB, and install adb interface in your linux. (can be in windows too.)
After it, connect the device on PC, open the terminal, and put:
adb logcat
You'll need allow it in your device. So, it will start to show a lot of mensages in terminal.
For save it, do a ctrl + c. (to stop the messages), and put it:
adb logcat -c
It'll be saved on you current folder.

Introduction:-
Hey guys! Here's a complete tutorial for building or porting MIUI to your device! I know there are already some guides for it but I felt none of them were noob-friendly and many were confusing and missing some important instructions. So I decided to share this complete guide which will teach you how to build MIUI from scratch. This is a basic guide in which I have taken building latest MIUI v7 as example. So let's start!
POST 1- Guide to build MIUI using PatchROM Sources
POST 2- Modifying boot.img
POST 3- Guide to port MIUI from another device
Basically,There are two methods by which you can build MIUI ROM for your device.
Build from source using PatchROM Method
Port manually from another device which already has MIUI
Let's start with PatchROM Method:-
Requirements:-
Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. (Installed as virtual machine like in VMware will also work)
Base ROM for your device.
NOTE- Preferably take pure AOSP built for your device as base ROM rather than CyanogenMod. You'll get less rejects while patching MIUI framework. But CM works too! Your choice..
Apktool. You can use Advanced Apktool by BDFreak. It's easier to use.
Working brain and a lot of patience!!
Prerequisites:-
First of all, take framework-res.apk, framework.jar, framework2.jar, services.jar, android.policy.jar and telephony-common.jar from your base ROM zip.
Now using apktool, decompile all above files.
If you're using advanced apktool then go to 3-Out folder and rename the respective folders to-
PHP:
framework-res
framework.jar.out
framework2.jar.out
services.jar.out
android.policy.jar.out
telephony-common.jar.out
We'll need these folders further for MIUI framework patching.
STEP-1: Preparing build environment
Switch to Ubuntu 14.04. We'll have to prepare ROM building environment.
Next step is to setup android sdk. Follow THIS guide. (Look at 2nd answer graphical image explanation. Follow till step 5.)
Now run the following commands as superuser from terminal-
PHP:
sudo apt-get update
Then after run this-
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git git-core gnupg gperf libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache libgl1-mesa-dev unzip lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev make python-networkx zlib1g-dev:i386 phablet-tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All the necessary packages are now installed. Now the next step is to configure repository.
In terminal,run following commands-
PHP:
mkdir -p ~/bin
PHP:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
PHP:
cd ~/bin
PHP:
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
PHP:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
PHP:
mkdir ~/patchrom
PHP:
cd ~/patchrom
PHP:
repo init -u git://github.com/MiCode/patchrom.git -b miui-7 -m android-4.4.4.xml
Now you'll have to configure git. Run following commands in terminal-
Code:
git config --global user.email [COLOR="Red"]ENTER_YOUR_EMAIL_ID_HERE[/COLOR]
Code:
git config --global user.name [COLOR="Red"]ENTER_YOUR_REAL_NAME_HERE[/COLOR]
Now it's time to download the MIUI source code! Run the following command in terminal-
PHP:
repo init -u git://github.com/MiCode/patchrom.git -b miui-7 -m android-4.4.4.xml
PHP:
repo sync
Now grab a cup of coffee while the MIUI source gets downloaded. Required time depends on speed of your internet connection. The MIUI source is of size about 600-700 MB (With .repo total is 1.5 GB).
After the source is downloaded,create a new directory in /home. Name it whatever you want. (Preferably codename of your device) In my case, it's taoshan.
PHP:
cd /home/stryder/
PHP:
mkdir taoshan
PHP:
cd taoshan
Now create a makefile for your device. If you want, you can make changes to this my makefile and use.
PHP:
gedit makefile
You can copy the following content in makefile (Don't forget to make changes in it according to your device) and save it.
Code:
#
# Makefile for taoshan
#
# The original zip file, MUST be specified by each product
local-zip-file := stockrom.zip
# The output zip file of MIUI rom, the default is porting_miui.zip if not specified
local-out-zip-file := MIUI7_taoshan.zip
# All apps from original ZIP, but has smali files chanded
local-modified-apps :=
local-modified-priv-apps :=
local-modified-jars :=
# All apks from MIUI
local-miui-removed-apps :=
local-miui-removed-priv-apps :=
local-miui-modified-apps :=
# All apps need to be removed from original ZIP file
local-remove-apps := Gallery2 Exchange2
# Config density for co-developers to use the aaps with HDPI or XHDPI resource,
# Default configrations are HDPI for ics branch and XHDPI for jellybean branch
local-density := XHDPI
PORT_PRODUCT := taoshan
# To include the local targets before and after zip the final ZIP file,
# and the local-targets should:
# (1) be defined after including porting.mk if using any global variable(see porting.mk)
# (2) the name should be leaded with local- to prevent any conflict with global targets
#local-pre-zip := local-pre-zip-misc
#local-after-zip:= local-put-to-phone
# The local targets after the zip file is generated, could include 'zip2sd' to
# deliver the zip file to phone, or to customize other actions
#include phoneapps.mk
include $(PORT_BUILD)/porting.mk
local-pre-zip-misc:
@echo Update boot.img
cp other/boot.img $(ZIP_DIR)/boot.img
@echo Update build.prop
cp other/build.prop $(ZIP_DIR)/system/build.prop
@echo Delete some unneeded files
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/etc/.has_su_daemon
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/Dialer.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/Keyguard.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/VoiceDialer.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/Launcher3.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/ParanoidOTA.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/ThemeChooser.apk
rm -rf $(ZIP_DIR)/system/priv-app/ThemesProvider.apk
Explanations:-
'local-zip-file' = Name of your original Base ROM zip
'local-out-zip-file' = Name for your finished MIUI rom
'local-modified-apps' = Apps that will be modified to fit in with the framework. They need to be modified because they contact with the system
'local-remove-apps' = Apps that will be removed from the original ROM
'local-pre-zip' = Refers to code-block that should be executed before the zip is done.
'local-after-zip' = Refers to code-block executed after the zip is completed
'local-zip-misc' = The code-block just described at 'local-pre-zip'. It adds some Google Apps and a build.prop
'local-test' = Another code-block
Now, manually copy the previously decompiled framework folders to your device folder.
PHP:
framework-res
framework.jar.out
framework2.jar.out
services.jar.out
android.policy.jar.out
telephony-common.jar.out
Next,copy your Base ROM zip in your device folder.
Now move to patchrom folder.
PHP:
cd ~/patchrom
PHP:
source build/envsetup.sh
Again move to your device folder and start MIUI framework patching.
PHP:
cd /home/stryder/taoshan
PHP:
make firstpatch
Now a new folder folder temp will be created. In that you'll find the reject folder in which there will be rejects which you have to fix manually. Follow THIS excellent guide by @JavierAlonso to fix rejects. Also see THIS guide.
After fixing all the rejects, type following command to create a flashable zip of your MIUI ROM.
PHP:
make fullota
or you can also use
PHP:
make zipfile
With this, the flashable zip file is built. Now follow the tutorial from next post to modify your boot.img and include this new boot.img in your flashable MIUI ROM zip. Then flash the zip from recovery and enjoy your source built MIUI ROM!
Sometimes, your device might get stuck on bootanimation so in this case, take LOGCAT and look for the error and solve it. You can use some tools like Advanced Logcat Viewer to read the log.

Modifying boot.img
Now, let's modify the boot.img from base ROM zip to it make compatible with our MIUI ROM.
First of all, download any boot image kitchen or editor. I used Android Image Kitchen for Windows.
Assuming you're using the same kitchen, Extract the files from Android Image Kitchen in a separate folder. Copy your base ROM boot.img in that folder.
Now drag and drop the boot.img on unpackimg. The kernel files will be extracted in ramdisk and split_img folder.
We have to modify the ramdisk so move to that. In sbin folder, you'll see the extracted files.
Now there are two chances- First, Your ramdisk is already extracted with various folders and files. In that case ignore the next steps and directly modify in respective files using Notepad++.
While in second case, you'll get the ramdisk as ramdisk.cpio file. If you get this the you'll have to move to Ubuntu again for extracting it.
Now in Ubuntu, copy your ramdisk.cpio in a seperate folder (suppose in stryder folder) in your home directory.
Now, open terminal and run the following command-[No need as superuser]
PHP:
cd stryder
PHP:
cpio -i -F ramdisk.cpio
Some output will be shown in terminal as 2320 blocks or something like that!
Now in your folder, you'll see the extracted ramdisk files.
Now comes the actual modification.
First of all, download attached zip and extract the files in appropriate folders. (If the folder is not present, add that folder).
Open default.prop and edit the lines like this-
PHP:
#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
Save the changes and open init.cm.rc (In case of CyanogenMod) or init.pa.rc (In case of AOSPA). Add # before the import line like this-
PHP:
# Superuser
#import /init.superuser.rc
Save this file and now open init.rc.
At the end of init.rc file, add these lines-
PHP:
#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
Save this file and then open seapp_contexts.
In that file, add at the end-
PHP:
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
user=theme_man domain=system_app type=system_data_file
Also modify these lines (if present) to look like this-
PHP:
user=_app domain=untrusted_app type=app_data_file
user=_app seinfo=platform domain=platform_app type=app_data_file
user=_app seinfo=shared domain=shared_app type=app_data_file
user=_app seinfo=media domain=media_app type=app_data_file
user=_app seinfo=release domain=release_app type=app_data_file
Save this file and if present, open init.qcom.rc.
And before this line (at the end)-
PHP:
on property:sys.boot_completed=1
Add these lines-
PHP:
service shelld /system/xbin/shelld
class main
Save the file. Now it's time to repack your ramdisk.
First, move your original ramdisk.cpio from the extracted folder to /home. That is, if your extracted ramdisk is in
PHP:
/home/stryder/
Move original ramdisk.cpio file to-
PHP:
/home/
After that, run this command in terminal-
PHP:
cpio -i -t -F ../ramdisk.cpio | cpio -o -H newc -O ../ramdisk_new.cpio
Now a new file ramdisk_new.cpio will be created. Take a look if it's of the same size as the original one just a few bytes difference.
Also open this ramdisk_new.cpio and make sure you have the newly added files in it. (Ex. otad in bin folder etc.)
Now move this ramdisk_new.cpio to previously extracted Android Image kitchen ramdisk/sbin/ directory.
Delete the original ramdisk.cpio from it and rename the ramdisk_new.cpio to ramdisk.cpio.
Now come back and directly run repackimg. The modified image_new will be generated. Rename it to boot and include this modified boot.img in your MIUI ROM zip. Now you can proceed to flash your MIUI ROM!
Special Thanks- @Zenamp

Port MIUI from another device
Requirements:-
7-zip, Winrar or similar software
Notepad++
Instructions:-
First of all, make 2 folders- 1. BASE ROM 2. PORT ROM
What is Base ROM: It is the ROM which is built for your device. (AOSP or CM etc.)
What is Port ROM: MIUI ROM of other device which you want to port to your device.
NOTE- It's better if the port device and your device has same CPU architecture and specifications. If you couldn't find same specification device then try the device having almost similar specification of your device.
Now extract the Base ROM zip in BASE ROM folder and Port ROM zip in PORT ROM folder.
Next, Delete addon.d (If present), app, framework, fonts, media and priv-app folder in System folder of BASE ROM.
Now copy addon.d (If present), app, framework, fonts, media and priv-app folder from system folder of PORT ROM to system folder of BASE ROM.
Now open etc folder in both ROMs folder. Go to init.d folder of PORT and copy and replace any extra files except 00banner to init.d of BASE ROM.
Now open permissions folder in etc of both ROMs and copy and replace all the permissions files from PORT ROM to your BASE ROM folder except handheld_core_hardware.xml and platform.xml. (In case of CM based BASE ROM, also don't replace org.cyanogenmod.hardware.xml).
Also copy any extra folder available in PORT ROM etc/ to BASE ROM etc/ e.g. miui_feature folder.
Now open your system_fonts.xml in etc folder of BASE ROM and copy this before </familyset> end of file
PHP:
<family>
<nameset>
<name>miui</name>
</nameset>
<fileset>
<file>Miui-Regular.ttf</file>
<file>Miui-Bold.ttf</file>
</fileset>
</family>
<family>
<nameset>
<name>miuiex</name>
</nameset>
<fileset>
<file>MiuiEx-Regular.ttf</file>
<file>MiuiEx-Bold.ttf</file>
</fileset>
</family>
<family>
<nameset>
<name>miuiex-light</name>
</nameset>
<fileset>
<file>MiuiEx-Light.ttf</file>
</fileset>
</family>
Now copy all the extra files from PORT ROM bin, lib and xbin folder to BASE ROM respective folders. Remember, DO NOT REPLACE anything. Just copy and paste and skip the files with same name.
Now, open build.prop of BASE ROM. You can change these value to anything you like-
PHP:
ro.build.id=
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.date=
ro.build.date.utc=
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.cm.version=
ro.modversion=
Now copy paste these values at the end of your BASE ROM build.prop. You can edit the fields but keep the structure same.You can look at PORT ROM build.prop for reference.
PHP:
ro.build.description=devicename-user 4.4.2 yourname C2104XXUCNG1 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=devicemanufacturer/devicemodel/device:4.4.2/yourname/C2104XXUCNG1:user/release-keys
ro.product.model=Xperia L
ro.product.device=taoshan
ro.build.characteristics=default
#MIUI_Features
ro.miui.has_real_blur=0
ro.miui.has_handy_mode_sf=1
ro.config.sms_received_sound=FadeIn.ogg
ro.config.sms_delivered_sound=MessageComplete.ogg
ro.product.manufacturer=Xiaomi
ro.config.elder-ringtone=Angel.mp3
persist.sys.mitalk.enable=true
ro.miui.ui.version.code=5
ro.miui.ui.version.name=V7
persist.sys.strictmode.disable=true
ro.product.mod_device=yourdevice
Change these fields in BASE ROM build.prop according to PORT ROM build.prop-
PHP:
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
ro.config.ringtone=
If your device has On-screen buttons, then add this value at the end of BASE ROM build.prop-
PHP:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Now we're done with build.prop.
Next, open META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from BASE ROM using Notepad++ and change, compare and replace all the symlink and set_metadata lines in updater-script according to PORT ROM updater-script.If some extra lines are there in BASE ROM updater-script, keep it as it is.
NOTE:-I have attached one sample updater-script with this post. Look below. You can refer from that if you feel any difficulty.
Add these before unmount("/system"); at the end of updater-script-
PHP:
set_perm(0, 1000, 06750, "/system/xbin/shelld");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
package_extract_file("META-INF/com/miui/relink", "/tmp/relink");
set_perm(0, 0, 0555, "/tmp/relink");
run_program("/tmp/relink");
delete("/tmp/relink");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0755, 0644, "/data/miui");
set_metadata("/system/bin/debuggerd", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "mode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "u:object_r:system_file:s0");
set_metadata("/system/bin/debuggerd_vendor", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "mode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "u:object_r:debuggerd_exec:s0");
set_metadata("/system/xbin/su", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "mode", 06755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "u:object_r:su_exec:s0");
delete_recursive("/data/miui/preinstall_apps");
delete_recursive("/data/miui/cust/preinstall_apps");
ui_print("Installation finished...Enjoy!");
unmount("/data");
Also copy META-INF/com/miui and data folder to BASE ROM from PORT ROM.
Now modify your BASE ROM boot.img using the tutorial from previous post and put that new boot.img in BASE ROM folder.
Finally, select META-INF, system, boot.img, file_contexts(If present) and data folder in BASE ROM.
Right click and select Add to Archive. Select Zip. Type the name of zip. (Don't delete ".zip" at the end!) Click OK.
Now you're ready to flash this zip from recovery.
Sometimes, your device might get stuck on bootanimation so in this case, take LOGCAT and look for the error and solve it. You can use some tools like Advanced Logcat Viewer to read the log. Look HERE for fixing bootloop.
I hope you guys understood how to build and port MIUI. I wish you good luck! If you get stuck anywhere, If you become successful building MIUI, feel free to post here. Also if you succeed, I'll appreciate if you give me credits and add link to this thread in your ROM thread on XDA.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PatchROM technique (post #1 tutorial) works for Android 4.4 KitKat, meaning that you have to find a KitKat AOSP or CyanogenMod 11 ROM for your device as a base, STRYDER said that he doesn't recommend the OEM Stock ROM as a base due to vendor stuff that might cause more rejects (and I think if the stock ROM is not deodexed, it's worse).So preferably take aosp kitkat rom as base. Patchrom method won't work for Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher.
If you want to port a MIUI Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM to a Lollipop/Marshmallow based device, you will have to do the "port from other device" technique (post #3), which is to find MIUI ROM for another device with the same Android version, chipset, screen resolution and follow the port method. Use this guide for porting to qualcomm and broadcom devices preferably. For mediatek devices, I suggest following porting guides from MIUI forums. Though this guide might work as well.

Question:- Can I port MIUI to XXX device?
Answer:- You'll never know if you don't try!
Question:- Can you please port/help porting MIUI to XXX device?
Answer:- Sorry, I won't port. It's not possible for me to accept port requests, that's why I wrote this guide so that you can port it yourself and test it out on the device you own! About helping, post your issues/logs here in this thread. Me or any other members will help you as they can.

Yeah you can use any method..I have not yet released MIUI for XL..There are some issues with RIL which I'm fixing now..But you can take any other device and port from it..Visit MIUI site and download latest v7! Try taking the device which has similar specification with your XM.. But not necessarily..I ported the one from HTC One S and it still worked!!

Sad but true, I tried to ask him about how he do that stuff but xda won't allow me to send message zzz coz his inbox if full

Yep.. Only for 4.4 since MIUI 7 patchrom source is based on 4.4.. Try to find base ROM which will be somewhat stable to be used as base.. There's no alternative to that!

i9100 emulated sdcard, partition resizing and full disk encryption

I recently upgraded a Galaxy S2 to Cyanogenmod 12.1 / android 5.1. I also wanted to use full disk encryption with the device and being able to access the internal memory via MTP instead of having a mass storage device. The removable sd card may be accessed via MTP, too, but will not be encrypted. Updating the recovery images to reflect the changes in the storage configuration (in case this is necessary) is not in scope, either.
Cyanogenmod by default only encrypts the /data partition. Newer models emulate the sdcard storage and save the data to /data/media, so everything gets encrypted. However, being an older phone there is still a separate sdcard-partition on the phone which is physically and directly mounted and which will not be touched by encryption.
In order to achieve the goal of full disk encryption two steps are necessary:
1. Change storage configuration to emulated media
2. Shrink old /sdcard partition and grow /data partition
= Change storage configuration to emulated media =
Emulating the sdcard in /data/media instead of physically mounting it directly requires changes to fstab.hardware (fstab.smdk4210), storage_list.xml and init.hardware.rc (init.smdk4210.rc). These files have to be changed in the Cyanogenmod source code and compiled to a new image. The configuration is based on the "Emulated primary, physical secondary" example given in h t t p s : / / source . android . com / devices / storage / config-example.html (cannot properly post URL due to new user restriction).

Compile Cyanogenmod and flash your phone. It should boot, but the amount of available storage should be significantly lower as the sdcard is emulated on the /data partition which has not been grown, yet.
= Shrink old /sdcard partition and grow /data partition =
Use PIT Magic to resize the partitions to an appropriate size. For a stock i9100 having 16GB of internal memory my configuration was as follows (according to the backup .pit-file downloaded via heimdall):
Code:
DATAFS:
start: 1,392,640
block count: 4,194,304
end: 5,586,943
UMS:
start: 5,586,944
block count: 24,133,632
end: 29,720,575
Hidden:
start: 29,720,576
block count: 1,048,576
end: 30,769,151
I changed the partition layout to the following sizes:
Code:
DATAFS:
start: 1,392,640
block count: 28,295,167
end: 29,687,807
UMS:
start: 29,687,808
block count: 32,768
end: 29,720,575
Hidden:
start: 29,720,576
block count: 1,048,576
end: 30,769,151
Deleting the UMS or hidden partitions or shrinking the hidden led to Cyanogenmod not booting. Upload the new .pit-file using heimdall and boot the modified Cyanogenmod. Reboot to Cyanogenmod recovery and wipe data. Formatting again using the Cyanogenmod recovery was required as apparently only this recovery honours the "encryptable=footer,length=-16384" option for the /data partition in fstab.hardware which directs the formatting tools to leave 16 kiB of space at the end of the partition for in-place encryption.

Is there a way to achieve emulated SD, without changing source code and recompiling?
Like editing fstab and other config files?
I run CM13 at the moment and would like to achieve full encryption through emulated SD.

I was playing around with the idea that i would resize the sdcard partition to 8mb and resize the /data partition (~14gb), so that applications have a hefty space and i would use the external sdcard (sdcard1) for storing data and media files. Would that be possible to with an emulated sdcard ? I was hoping that with the introduction of Android 6.0 it would allow me to merge (LVM?) the /sdcard0 and /sdcard1 but instead it merges /data and /sdcard1.

I cannot prove that there is no way without having to recompile. However, I couldn't find storage_list.xml in the filesystem on my phone, so I assume that this file is only used during image compilation and therefore it's probably hard/impossible to achieve emulated SD without recompiling.
Maybe this configuration is easier to achieve using Cyanogenmod 13 / Android 6 as the storage_list.xml resource overlay has been removed.

PelzigesOhr, thank you sharing and documenting your experience so well, it has inspired me to try the same on Replicant 4.2 (distro based on CyanogenMod 10).

However it seems the best way to create a partition table is using PitMagic, which seems to be proprietary software. Would you consider sharing your PIT file please?
Thank you for your time, all of this is greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
If you still have memory of the heimdall parameters used to flash this partition table, please do share as well.

Managed to create a PIT file similar to yours, thanks for documenting it.
The following thread also includes a patch compatible with Replicant/Android 4.2.

Thanks for the praise, I'm happy that the instructions are of use to someone else. Good to know that you managed everything yourself, I'll answer anyway: This forum doesn't seem to support attachments, so I haven't attached the .pit-file. Feeding the parameters I provided to PIT Magic should yield a good result, though. PIT Magic is indeed a proprietary Windows binary, but it runs fine using wine (at least that's the way I use it).
All the flashing has been done by loading clockworkmodrecovery (
Code:
heimdall flash --KERNEL clockworkmodrecovery.6050.i9100.touch.img
) and afterwards sideloading the compiled ROM.

Thanks for the reply sir.
Which partitions did you upload via Heimdall when you flashed the PIT file? I believe repartitioning could delete the contents of important partitions such as BOOT and MODEM, but I am unsure. Do you think maintaining their block boundaries would preserve the data in the respective partitions?

The exact command I used for repartitioning with Heimdall-1.3.1 was as follows:
Code:
heimdall flash --repartition --pit <filename>
Data should be preserved and if you don't mess with the boundaries of partitions other than DATAFS, UMS and HIDDEN you should be fine. Before repartitioning I backed up all partitions as a precautionary measure, but I didn't have to restore any of them.

Ah! This is excellent, thanks for clarifying this! Just one last question if I may, how did you backup the partitions? Did you use Heimdall to download their contents as image files, did you use DD or maybe even ADB?

Good guess, I used dd and adb. Get a shell on the phone with adb and dump the partitions to files using dd:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/sdcard/mmcblk0pX.bin bs=512
And then copy the files to your computer using adb pull. You may want to get the mountpoints of the partitions (e.g. using mount) so that you can associate them easily.

[Guide] Convert OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk Edition

OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk Edition use a flag in param partition to identify.
If the flag is 8, HydrogenOS will mount the cyberpunk oem partition and enable it.
OTA and 9008 will not lost it!
So we can dump the param partition, change the flag and flash it to enable.
I write a simple python decrypt script to read/write the params.
This operation is very dangerous, please make sure to back up your data just in case!
Get the script from here
https://github.com/xiofee/op8t_param
Convert to Cyberpunk Edition
1. dump param partition
Code:
➜ adb shell
OnePlus8T:/ $ su
OnePlus8T:/ #
OnePlus8T:/ # dd if=/dev/block/by-name/param of=/sdcard/param.bin
OnePlus8T:/ # exit
OnePlus8T:/ $ exit
➜ adb pull /sdcard/param.bin ./
2. Write Cyberpunk Edition flag
Code:
➜ python op8t_param.py write -f param.bin -o param2.bin 4 8
3. flash param partition
Code:
➜ adb push ./param2.bin /sdcard/
➜ adb shell
OnePlus8T:/ $ su
OnePlus8T:/ # dd if=/sdcard/param2.bin of=/dev/block/by-name/param
or you can use fastboot flash param partition
Code:
➜ adb reboot bootloader
➜ fastboot flash param param2.bin
3. reboot

Will the UX be changed from stock to Cyberpunk edition ?

So to revert the change, we'll have to make it to 4 again? or reflash the backed up param?
edit: so I tried it on my 8T Global AA variant.

cyberpunk FOD logo and animation does not work (still on stock)

I only tested on HydrogenOS, it has cyberpunk oem partition.
If you want restore, use your backup param or set the flag to 0 and reflash it.
Code:
python op8t_param.py write -f param.bin -o param2.bin 4 0
And the flag maybe 3 place
not prmec
prmec primary block
prmec backup block
The Cyberpunk flag now only use prmec primary block, if the prmec primary block is incorrect, system will use backup block restore the primary block.
If you have some problem, you can modify all place with follow step
modify not prmec block
Code:
python op8t_param.py write -f param.bin -o param2.bin 4 0 -ne
modify prmec primary block
Code:
python op8t_param.py write -f param.bin -o param2.bin 4 0
modify prmec backup block
Code:
python op8t_param.py write -f param.bin -o param2.bin 4 0 -np

I tried to do this on the Global rom I'm assuming it only works on hydrogen os? I got a syntax error on the python op8 code

work like a charm . i tried with 11.5.6 AA. But fod animation,ringtone,live wallpaper,icon pack,boot animation didnt change and for that reason i flashed boot animation via magisk and installed wallpaper and icon pack port.

I really feel bad for you bro

Keep in mind that if you need to MSN back to T-Mobile stock it wont work because the param.bin fiile has been edited should you ever need to go back to tmobile use this file first

I was just going to ask about that. Also, I wonder, if we have a T-Mobile branded device could we change the param.bin to be the standard North American Unlocked variant and such we could start using the MSM tool for that variant?

Working fine here Flashed the latest H2OS first, then flashed the modified param via fastboot. Had to go to "Customization" to enable the icon pack and accent color - It was already present, just needed to enable it. Same with wallpaper. But everything works

So, if i convert my normal 8T to cyberpunk then use MSM tool to restore, it has Cyberpunk addition in stock (no rooted, not modified) OxygenOS? I really like to mess with this :v

Well i did this and convert done full to Cyberpunk.
Lately i received 11.0.8.11 OTA and now cyberpunk addition is messed up. I need to install full OTA (not 300mb, full 2gb) to restore cyberpunk addition. I can't find any link, so returning back to older version. Also Thank you OP for posting this guide

GUIDE: Extract vendor from stock firmware

Hello guys, Here I bring a guide for setting up stock dump folder, which could be used to extract propietary from stock firmware.
**IMPORTANT!! THIS GUIDE IS TARGET TO MAPLE WHICH DOESN'T HAVE SEPARATE VENDOR PARTITION
For XZ1/XZ1C and all newer phones which comes with Android 8+ need to unsin, mount & copy vendor at same time.
OK, let's start
1.Download the latest stock firmware by using [TOOL] XperiFirm ~ Xperia Firmware Downloader [v5.4.0]
2. UnSin System and Kernel sin files from stock firmware.
Code:
./path/to/unsin /path/to/Kernel*.sin
./path/to/unsin /path/to/System*sin
Then you will get Kernel image and System ext4 file. In case your UnSin doesn't have execute permission, run chmod +x /path/to/unsin
3.Unpack the Kernel image by using AIK Android Image Kitchen
/path/to/AIK-Linux/unpackimg.sh /path/to/kernel*.img
You will get a ramdisk folder for your stock dump, which would be the root of your dump folder.
4.Change the ramdisk folder owner to yourself
chown -R $USER:$USER ramdisk
5, Mount the System image on somewhere, (e.g. /mnt/system) and change its owner to yourself
Code:
sudo mkdir /mnt/system
sudo mount -o loop /path/to/system*.ext4 /mnt/system/
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mnt/system
6, Copy system to your ramdisk folder
cp -r /mnt/system/* /path/to/ramdisk/system/
Then you are ready to extract vendor from stock now, just run the extract script in your device tree and you're all done:
/path/to/extract-files.sh /path/to/ramdisk
ENJOY!!!
Give me like if it helped to you
