Hey guys!
I was trying to build PA for Lenovo K4 Note (for learning purposes). I have followed the instructions from and XDA thread (which is a bit outdated). However i ran into error in the very first minute of compilation. I have attached the terminal screenshot. As in the terminal, can anyone please direct as to how to "Define the Kernel Configuration"? I have already specified the Kernel tree source in the "local_manifest.xml" file.
Also can anyone please tell me what lines to add in the "pa_<device>.adds" file? I guess that's where I went wrong.
I didn't know where to post this, so if this is in the wrong place, please move it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Currently trying to build my own omni rom and I am completely new at this.

Before you cherry pick you must be able to build ROMs from source. I assume you haven't built before. Building is a moderately difficult process. You may search on Google regarding tutorials for building roms from source (ignore the tutorials teaching you how to use an android kitchen). After you have downloaded the source code you can start buildin and cherry picking. Regarding how to download and stuff you can start from here -

HI just had email from Samsung to say source is now out... roll on some custom kernels .... please
..well as it looks like we don't have any kernel devs I thought I try to compile my self as the guides look easy enough.. but even a straight build from the Samsung source fails at the first hurdle.
Make clean report an error of a missing file being referenced in drivers fc3150 or something like.. on checking it is certainly not there and if I remove the reference as there is also a fc3200 which is there it simply complains that the make file is incorrect in some way.
If some one with experience could have a look and assist or point me in the right direction I would be grateful thanks
Hello all.
Like the title says, I am trying to compile my first kernel.
I really like the CM11 i9505 nightly kernel, but it would be amazing in my world if it also had voltage/overclock/and gov additions.
It is my understanding that if I compile the kernel myself adding these features would be easy as they mostly exist in a single file that I could copy from similar kernels.
I have been trying to build my first build environment, but it seems that I am failing in amazing ways by trying to follow the CM guides on the their wiki. :crying:
I have an i3 dell 6420 laptop with Ubuntu (installed and functional) that I am dedicating to this effort, but I seem to need spoon feeding on this first attempt.
Does any one have a good step by step guide that I could follow for building the CM11 kernel?
Failing that does anyone have the time to chat in a live state on a weekend or late evening to help build this?
Of course if someone has a CM11 nightly kernel with the added features, I wouldn't object to using that and not reinventing the wheel.
Wrong section,
Ask a forum moderator (any one) to move your thread to the developer only section(of this subfroum)[emoji6]

He could just read the kernel tutorials in the android or chef central sections
sometime back this was posted

unfortunately moonbutt closed his thread just when I and another member posted boot image etc on the board..understand he may have moved on to better things
not knowledgeable here but appreciate if someone can take this up or redirect this to some dev who can make a rooted kernel since the source has been published
thanks
SM-T237P
Would love to root my 5.1.1 tab , so I too would be begging for another developer to step in to fill this need. I need a kernel with UVC video support.
OKAY so now I know my posts were getting deleted when I asked for T235 kernel root

yesterday or may have been on Sat night, on the T533 thread I tried to catch moonbutt's attention by pointing to the T235 source (when apparently he was saying the T533 had no source but was addressing that kernel) and now that post has gone like on his closed thread (just when it seemed he was taking an interest thanking me for providing boot.img and other files)
anyway...need some dev who can volunteer to work on this and at least someone who would respond yes or no (deleting posts maybe to avoid a side conversation)
I pulled the source started to look it up and looked up on how to modify kernel..looked doable to a point but this is from a total novice (all i know is to mod some apk, compile/re-compile but no building stuff)

mac,
i had your post removed because it was interfering in H's thread. I tried with this device a little while ago but testers seem to think they are at liberty to not follow instruction, or just change their minds mid-stream like they haven't just wasted my time and resources. . The upside would be if you have the source and the setup to compile it and thereby test your own work then, i can absolutely run you through what you need to do, The tricky part is knowing which tools you need for the packing/unpacking of the ramdisk.
If this is a qcom/msm device you will need AIK which is the best solution.
If this is a marvell variant you will need ketut's degas bootimg toolkit which is the best solution.
You need [likely] to apply the patch mentioned in my thread to security/selinux/selinuxfs.c
Be aware that samsung's source releases are usually incredibly sloppy and the defconfigs for devices are usually somewhat off, missing config settings.
Check for sdcardfs xattrs, virtual xattrs, etc . you need to make sure those are selected in order for your internal and external storage to mount.
Find the correct defconfig for your device and post it as a zipped attachment. or check my thread and look at my sources on git, specifically the commit history [msm devices mostly] to get an idea of what you need. You can get a linux os running in a virtual machine and compile just fine as long as you have all the pre-requisites installed. The getting started link in my signature is a rough/general guide to help get you up and running.

ps, my thread is just locked, not closed, i was getting too many OT/non-dev postings. I open it when/if i have something new and then close it again.
thanks moonbutt74...totally understand...appreciate the links in your signature and other resources...will start looking into it (long long journey but gotta try)

mac,
no prob, recommended step 1, get your linux distro set up, stongly recoommend kali/debian 2.0, either in vm or better as 2nd os in a dual boot scenario.

Hello everyone, first of all I wanted to thank Renix63 for posting the cm12.1 neox kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nel-cyanogenmod-12-1-overclock-1-593-t3230195
Very useful and fun kernel to use, however, I would like to add some custom features of my own (I want to add support for specific wireless USB cards that use Realtek, Atheros and Ralink chipsets).
I did flash the neox kernel onto my phone (together with resurrection remix rom) and got the .config file out, in order to start the 'make' process.
The thing is, that I have no idea which compiler I would be using, and how to give it the path to compile, or how to appoint it to the specific ARCH=arm kernel.
I really need someone to grant me any help, or somehow to enlighten me, PM, Skype, facebook or whatever else.
Thanks in advance for anyone who has the knowledge and willing to share it on this thread with me, and other who are reading it.
NOTE: i will be grateful if someone compiled the kernel for me BUT i would like to know how to do it myself.
Please please please help me, it will be highly appreciated since i was already been looking all over the internet and was working on it for more than 3 weeks straight, without any success.
I would like to thank all the extraordinary developers on this website regardless, especially Renix63 for his wonderful kernel.
