First of all I've got to give thanks where it's due: I would not have been able to get this far if it weren't for @Niropa's excellent guide found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-how-to-compile-roms-zenfone-2-t3205312/ I'd never have been able to make this guide. There's a lot of great stuff there, but I think it's now out of date.
Here's the link to the quip document where I'm putting together the guide:
https://quip.com/BO2dAOEvDGXd
Once again:
1) This guide wouldn't exist if it weren't for @Niropa.
2) It's my intention for this guide to be the kernel of a build script that can grab sources, then build:
-CM 12.1
-CM 13.0
-Maybe some other android stuff, but I don't know, because the real gold to me is.....
-Ubuntu Touch (If I can make it work, I bet it screams with 4gb of memory....)
-Tizen
-Firefox OS
.....I can now check CM-12.1 @ Z00A off the list of stuff to port. I hope to get all of these downloading, updating, and building from the same script or set of scripts for Z00A, and then I will work on making those scripts work with all of the Cyanogenmod devices. Yay!

Kerneller, a flashable Zip template for ramdisk modifications
Google what a kerneller is
Many of you have no doubt heard of osm0sis' Anykernel2 and previously koush's Anykernel. Kerneller is an alternative designed solely around Sony's Xperia lineup, taking into account the 'recovery-inside-ramdisk' situation we've found ourselves in. However, the script should also support other devices such as Nexus. (I say should because I can only test on the Xperia devices I own -- if anyone could help test, I would be very grateful!)
And with the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, users have been facing a dilemma: To download a permissive or enforcing version of the kernel? Kerneller fixes that issue by combining the two in a single zip using a slightly modified version of keycheck, allowing the user to choose what will be installed at the time of flashing.

Any questions, tips, or comments are welcome!
Credits & Thanks: All authors of the included binaries. osm0sis for AnyKernel2 and porting the binaries. koush for the original AnyKernel concept. Everyone who helped test. Myself5 for the inspiration and oshmoun for the help.

This is something, i was expecting.
Thank you very much.

I'm glad you like it but I can't say that's the reaction I was expecting lol. Please do let me know if anything bothers you though.
Just by the way, I moved the thing into its own repo and added a small script to compress and sign it. Cheers!
work for lock or un lock？thank you

I'm sorry to say I don't understand the question. This script cannot lock or unlock anything.
It modifies the boot sector of your device. For that to be possible in the first place, you need an unlocked bootloader.
thank you，Im lockbootloader now，and that's what I want to know
Sorry for noob question,but where to download?Cant find the link.Want to try this on my m2 aqua.

Your best bet would be using 'git clone', though you can also just download the whole repo as a zip file (here, if you're having trouble finding it). Note though that the packing script won't work in Windows unless you have a *nix shell emulator (such as Cygwin or win-bash)!
You can still zip the thing together yourself using 7zip or WinRAR, however it will not be a signed zip (so some recoveries -- like Cyanogen Recovery -- may refuse to flash it, but you could use the bash script to figure out what you have to do in Windows to sign your new zip).
If you do eventually get it to run, I'd be very glad if you could send me the recovery.log of the flash via PM!
TouchWiz?
This tool works on touchwiz Lollipop 5.1.1 Roms or not?
Stock kernel is Enforcing and I tried various methods to make it permissive, nothing works

I don't know if your device's boot image is assembled using mkbootimg (like Nexus devices). If so, you may be able to.
But you'll need to pack the device tree binary and zImage into the zip (just use unpackbootimg).
So, I'm very confused, I usually build boot.imgs right out of the AOSP source code... how could I leverage this?

It's not really meant for people who compile ROMs, but more for kernel devs or testers who only compile the kernel.
Instead of always having to extract the ramdisk from boot images (whenever the ramdisk changes, which we kernel people can't know and check for every single kernel, nor do we care) and then using mkbootimg (meaning you have to release one boot image for every ramdisk you need to support, i.e. if you want to support ROMs with vastly different ramdisk implementations, where mixing ramdisks would cause a bootloop).
With this, you go around the problem. Compile the kernel outside of the ROM tree (which takes a few minutes vs several hours that compiling the entire ROM can take), grab the zImage-dtb (or adjust the script to use zImage + dt.img), and package the thing together. (There are options to also include kernel modules in the zip, and scripts that will compress and sign the zip for you.)
The highlight of this project used to be being able to switch Selinux status when flashing the zip, instead of adding androidboot.selinux=permissive for each boot image, and then uploading two images. Nowadays compatibility of this switch with various devices and Android versions is questionable (I can't test personally because of how limited Xperia devices have become recently -- the 3.10 kernel does not work with enforcing selinux), but the core idea of using it to avoid having to create boot images is still alive and kicking.
I am trying to build a custom kernel for my redmi 2 running on Nexus Experience. I found there kernel source at their github page in nx_kernel_xiaomi_msm8916 . It's the only kernel referring to XIAOMI so I think it is the right one.
I am really new to kernel building. I read some tutorials on the web and tried building one for the stock miui rom but it didn't work out.
So before I start re-building the kernel for Nexus Experience I had some questions. I wanted to add the support for external wifi adapters based on RTL8188CUS. I found the option to enable it. My question is that , By just enabling that feature will my phone just start supporting the adapter out of the box or do I have to add some Modules to it.
And the last question, After I compile the kernel I get this zImage file. I put this file in the anyKernel.zip but I found that I also have to add the wlan.ko file and I couldn't find it....
I really need some help here.
Hi all,
I like to try tweaking and hacking my phone. I've tried some ROMs on my kugo for some time, but I figured I wanted to make my own personalized build. Right now, I'd like to use the 'Night Light' app from F-Droid, which requires KCAL support. In order to enable KCAL I'd need to edit the stock kernel (I know this can be done, it was the case for Genesis Kernel on Nougat).
Hence I'd want to learn to compile a kernel, but I can't get to the end of Sony's tutorial. I've downloaded the kernel source but I am totally lost with defconfig files. How should I configure the kernel ? There is no obvious choice for a defconfig, and I can't get past point #6 in the tutorial..
Given that I've just discovered kernel compilation today, would someone be kind and take some time to maybe point me to useful doc, give me a clue as to what my next step could be, or teach me how they compile kernels for their device ?
Many thanks for any help,
Cheers
TLDR. How to compile a kernel? I have Sony's source for kugo, but don't understand how to configure the kernel compilation.
ZenParts is a utility that enables ZenMotions & Zen tweaks such as Audio Gain, Vibration strength, etc.
I've been searching ZenParts module for my X00TD (Max Pro M1). I'm planning to use it on Lineage OS which obviously don't come with it.
There are also ROMs out there that include ZenParts, but I need the module so that I can use on the Non existed ROMS too.
Posting such files or links is appreciated !
There's also github source code for it?
https://github.com/saurabhchardereal/ZenfoneParts/blob/master/README.md
Can anyone compile the code & make a flashable zip if possible.

You can't make a flashable zip because it need the device tree --> need to build a new ROM.
