Okay Guys,
I am working hard to bring up Cyanogenmod to our beloved moto g.
But i am a bit Noobish in this field.
I have been reading guides and following the process.
So far I have setup the build environment and synced the latest repo from CM sources.
Now, further most imp step is Vendor, Kernal and Device tree.
I have found this so far, by searching this forum only,
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/tree/kitkat-4.4.4-release-titan
Now, reading further some guides, they say kernel and device tree will require some modification to work with CM12, but i couldnt find about this modification.
so I request all developers to guide me on this.
We can surely do this together. :fingers-crossed:

I love your initiative! Unfortunately I'm not a developer...

nice work mate.... developers are needed urgently....
Why do you think developers will find you and this thread? It works the other way. You need to find developers and ask for help. I suggest you start here and here
I keep my fingers crossed for the success of the project :highfive:
Yes, I am reading all possible guides given by the developers.
By that only i have reach this far.
But for device tree and kernel, device specific modifications are necessary, and I really need help of some one who has actually done this before.
If this is successful , we can have an alpha build of CM 12 , in 3-4 days.
@ N.K.V.
ok i will help you with this..
first we need to set up device tree and vendor trees....
there is 2 ways to do this
first:- get a official motorola stock lollipop update for your phone.
(unfortunately it not yet released for all variants)
examine the similar device trees like falcon or htc a5 (desire 816) of lg l90 or sony m2 or sony e3
compare the kernel sources of falcon and titan (these are kitkat sources so may be in future motorola will release updated lollipop kernel source)
there are various major differences.
set up a basic device tree from falcon with msm8226 common of cm repos.
take vendor blob list from falcon
adapt it for titan
extract vendor blob from phone.
compile the rom
second:- from existing 4.4.4 rom
repo sync kernel from github
make changes to falcon and msm8226 device tree to adapt titan
extract vendor blobs with falcon list
compile
problem with second approach is that you have to make many changes to kernel and other things
but if we get official moto update of lollipop with kernel source then it will be little easier...
still if you are going to compile and want to make a cm12 from 4.4.4 i am with you ...i will set up device trees and other trees to set up things in motion.....
and then we can change vendor blobs and kernel to lollipop when it get released...

okay guys,
let's keep this thread clean for developers.
you can always hit like to appreciate
UPDATE: @k2wl is working on kernel and device tree, it will take him some days.
@k2wl and N.K.V.
Thx for your time and work :good:
I wait for the right Software on xt1068!
I have a little bit of knowledge and i can learn really fast, if you guys need help, you can count on me
which model will this be for? (please say xt1064)

Doesn't matter. It will be for all variants!
absolutely brilliant, i wish i knew a lick of programming so that i could help get this done faster (i'm tired of seeing a SU update in play store and not being able to use it because it sends my G into a bootloop)
Thanks man, lollipop official update have a bug while playing music via bluetooth when screen is lock, can you fix it on this rom?
Ha ha...Let's make the ROM first..
Bug fixing in Second task.
Now that lollipop soak has started in India....i think Work should go fast. :beer:
Waiting for it. Please keep updated though!
I'm interested in helping with this.

Nice intitiative...but i think making device tree and vendor for this device will not be tht easy....still hope for best
Greeting Developers :angel:,
I am new to this ROM building/porting process.
I want to install Vanilla Android on my note-4, so after questioning Google number of times, I came across official Android development guide on official Android website: https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
I have downloaded the Android source locally and was following various Guides and tutorials from XDA-University & forums only for the development process. http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code
I discovered that for downloading/configuring the build for a specific device(trltexx), we need to create a localmanifest file that contains device tree, vendor and kernel configuration links for repo syncing.
Now, I want your expertise to guide me forward from this point. Questions being:
1. Can I use CM or other projects (eg. AICP etc.) device configurations for this AOSP project.
2. Can I use these configurations for cross-version android build, say if I want to compile version 6.x, can 5.x configs can be used. (Manufacturer will take several months to release version update)
or Create new configurations using some guide/tutorial/book or something.
In XDA, I know I'm at the write place posting my questions and asking for expertised help.:good:
Thanks!!
Hello Folk,
i am Going to build custom roms for le 2 (x526) . But as of core requirement to build any custom rom , first i need 3 source codes which are
1)Kernel Sources (I have that)
2)Device tree sources (Hoping for someone to build this)
3)Vendor Tree sources (Again, we dont have that too)
So if you are serious about custom roms them support me and Ask for any experienced developer to Get these two Tree sources .

This mobile contains snapdragon 652, which is rare currently in devices. So i don't think anyone has bring up device tree for this device. I am looking to purchase this device and then do some stuff for it, let's see if i bought it.

Hi,
So I have a VNS-L31 bought in France (Europe), not locked to a specific vendor for updates.
Actually I use LineageOS 14.1 self-built using a 3.10.x kernel (using Meticulus development files that I had to fork - like he removed his vendor repo and his latest commit in device repo is not buildable; see my Github repo and I don't give any rom or support for now).
I asked Huawei to get the kernel sources for the stock rom and I'd like to get the 4.x branch. The problem is they asked me a build number, but I flashed from Android 6 which uses 3.x, so I have no idea for what is this build number. I don't know what is the right build for EMUI 5 / Android 7 I could get/use. On the URL= http consumer huawei com /fr/support/mobile-phones/p9_lite_fr-sup htm ] official website [ /URL (in French) they do not offer a download option for this build (only Android 6 and a rollback package). And maybe this isn't even built using the 4.x branch?
And I don't know if I would get the same sources as in URL= https github com /OpenKirin/android_kernel_huawei_hi3650 ]this repo[ /URL.
Also, I'd like to know more of what's going on rom development for Android 7 (or 8). There do not seem that another LineageOS 14 port is going on, OpenKirin has only a recovery released as far as I know. Also, one or two other phones seem to use the same kernel, that are not other names for the P9 Lite, like the Honor 6X?
PS: I don't have any skill in rom porting, I sent a few emails to people that worked on this device, and I saw I'm really lacking of knowledge. Also, it would be one of my many side-projects.
Thanks for your help.
I have tried the tutorials that are available on XDA, but it looks like this kernel is unable to be built outside of an Android project, but maybe I am doing something wrong.
How does one actually build the kernel that is provide by Lenovo. Is it possible to build the kernel by itself using the source provided by Lenovo?
.
The kernel source is here:
