Hey, I'm Looking to start a team developing a kernal for the Samsung Galaxy S II. I'm an intermediate developer at best, but would love to get something started! ... I downloaded the ICS Source last night, and I'm reviewing the basics of it.
If you're interested respond here or join me on FreeNode #Rockin-Kernal
KERNAL? What is it?
Did you mean KERNEL?
Where guys are you taking this misspelling?!?
// sorry for OT but it is sadly very common

Why not? I am with you.
Of course many people would say that there are very good kernels already delivered but it could be interesting to try.
The fact you called it 'Kernal' means this project won't get any further. Plus, there is a development version of ICS being made right now, if you can contribute then I suggest you look for the suggested thread and speak to them.

Hello, I currently own an SGH-i717 and would like to start rom developing for it and would like to know where to start. If I was a complete noob and compared to most of the people here I might be, how would I download 4.0.3 source code, use adb with my phone and etc etc. I find it all very interesting but I have no idea where to start.
I am asking for help with this specific device, then maybe onto porting for other devices but this model has a very sore lack of developers for it and since I own an ATT Note I would like to start the development for it regarding ICS and etc. Also why is there a lack of developers for this model's roms?
Thanks for any and all help regarding this issue and I am excited to get started developing for you guys!
I think you need something called android sdk

google search, ever heard of it before? and there is no lack of devs here unless you consider quantity over quality to be better

If that was the case, then why aren't there ice cream sandwich roms for att note?
and also, what do I search for? I'm very busy so I don't have time to mess with google all day. I need someone who is willing to work with me on educating a new developer, that maybe in turn had someone to learn from before them that appreciates a new (quality)developer.
To keep things simple here... Please refrain from jerky comments as I am trying to maintain progression in this area and again I am a very busy person so I would appreciate it if we kept this thread professional.
Thanks again for any help you care to give! I apologize for being a beginner, but everyone has to start somewhere... right?

I already have the Android SDK, but I'm not sure how to use it for developing. I tried once and ended up frustrated with it. Are there easy to understand tutorials somewhere around here that might help a beginner?
I've managed to unbrick my captivate using ADB once but it was very foreign to me and I was kinda impressed I even pulled off sending it into download mode. Thanks for helping!

It's good to see someone with a lot of drive to develop, but the biggest hurdle isn't building AOSP from source. You need to get a working kernel that is compatible with ICS and all the Notes hardware. You can't google search how to do that. In reality it's almost impossible to do if you don't have extensive experience with that sort of thing.
We need the source code from Samsung for the Note and as far as I know, there is no source code out yet for the Note (for any version of Android). The roms you are seeing right now (two that Im aware of) are basically rigged versions of the stock rom where things have been removed (bloatware) and a few things have been added that conveniently worked out of the box without messing with code.
The real work will come when we have some source code to work with.
Ok, what's next?

Okay well that's a start... does anyone know where I can find a stock version of ICS to study it's code and experiment? I found source codes for SGH-i717 here
opensource(dot)samsung(dot)com
(I need more posts to make that a link, lol)
I searched for i717 and it came up with four source results on samsung's opensource search bar but I don't know what the four results are for and what the difference between them all are(unless it means it is for att or tmobile or etc, etc.), if you can tell me any info on these then I would be greatly appreciative.
Yeah, I have no clue how to do most things with coding for android but I do understand how to flash correctly, root and all that jazz. I just lack the programming skills and work flow it takes to make all this. I am downloading java for dummies and learning how to use XML files, but I am wondering if there is something else I should study too?
It sucks that I came here starting from scratch basically but I have learned a lot from here in a short amount of time, I appreciate all of the developers who have made the roms I love along the way, I am just growing impatient with the far and few between updates for your devices and I want to see updates for our devices come faster and the only way to do that is to do something about it. So I am very grateful for any help I get regarding this.
Where can I start with the kernel search? Is that what everyone is waiting on to start developing ICS for this phone? Does anyone know if one exists?
Another Question
What's the difference between a kernel and a rom? Basically.. what the heck is it in lamen's terms?

Hello XDA,
I just recently got into compiling from source, and wanted to share what I've learned to XDA of course.
I've noticed a lot of tutorials on ROM Development with kitchens, but in my opinion you're not getting anywhere near as much control of your ROM then if you were to compile from source yourself. I'm not bashing kitchens at all, because they're great for fundamentals of ROM Development. Learning the basics with kitchens is how I started, but I wanted more control. So I've been doing a lot of research and figured I'd give back to the community.
This is a series of tutorials, with this one being the "Basics/Introduction". I've also been getting into Kernel Development, so if anyone wants me to make another series for that as well please let me know! I would love to hear some feedback on this letting me know if I'm wrong on anything (because I'm definitely NOT an expert on this) or any constructive criticism for the next video(s).
If I get good feedback I'll continue making videos for this, and like I said, maybe for Kernel Development as well. :highfive:
tl;dr
Code:
I'm fairly new to ROM Development, I tried my best to help people out who are attempting to learn compiling from source to have more control over their ROMs. [B]Please be gentle![/B] ;)
Thank you for this, dude! It's easy for a beginner to get overwhelmed by the mountain of information out there about ROM development, as I've recently found out. This is a great little tutorial, consisely showing the stuff you really need to do whilst explaining the reasoning behind it.
Can't wait for episode 2!

Go for the video tutorials:good:
I really liked it, waiting for new videos :good:
Hi Nick Mast,
Can you give me your text file named As_I_Go.txt in this video.
Thanks so much.

Hi @d0wngrade,
We are still waiting for the other videos in the series.
Thanks in advance.
I've just reinstalled Linux in a Virtual Machine and I'm syncing the Android 5.1.1 (latest) branch now. I'm going to watch part 1 and record a video where I left off. I don't know how long it will be, but it will be coming soon-ish. After the sync and some initial setup I'll be ready to record, so watch for it!
Hi,
I Just stumbled upon this one while searching internet. Is this compatible with our device? If yes, How to install it?

Thanks
You have to build it into the source or something like that, I really can't remember. I believe it could work with any higher end Android device, but I've been suggesting it on many forums for a year and a half. I don't think the devs really have anymore extra time, they have done amazing things for us already. Makes me wanna join the forces and learn more about developing.

This sounds like CornerStone. I've been posting on several XDA forums since I found out about it. http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ Here's the site and should GitHub for the source. I think it could be used on our Notes rather easily.

We at Wickedleak are Looking to work closely with the Talent at XDA to develop custom roms,add features to all our models.
We will be happy to share ROM Files and Kernel SouRces for the Same.
The Developers will get credit in Media, Exclusive Invites to Events at Wickedleak and Prize.
Lets begin with Introductions and take things foRward.

What kind of stuff are you looking for? I've been adding Halo to ParanoidAndroid and building for Moto X and Nexus 5, and I recently posted a guide on cherry-picking features. I've also spent a lot of time teaching anyone who's come to me for help with their own development related questions.
I'd be happy to help develop for your models, but I don't own any myself.

Hi Jabza,
Thanks for the Reply. Our first priority as of now is to provide quick upgrades to KITKAT and which ever update google comes out with and be the first one to do so. Secondly we want to add more features requested by users.every week. so we want to make it a user developed Android experience. We also want to dabble with fingerprint unlock, and the recent features added with the IOS 8.
Are you based in INDIA ?.

Thats ok. Its just that we wont be able to meet. If you are interest maybe we can have a little chat on skype or gtalk.
I would love to have you onboard . And hopefully others from open source community at XDA. We are an indian company but we can surely work something out with you .
Can you email me at [email protected]. with your skype or gtalk id. We can have a chat and take things from there yes ?
Wait so youre an actual company....producer of devices like Wickedleak Wammy Passion X? So really you'd be profiting off xda users that possibly join your team....or are you planing on hiring said users?
Give Back to Open Source
Hi Shiny Side,
Yes we are a Company Based in India. You are coorect,We recently Lauunched Wammy Neo as well. We intend to share profits and made from custom roms with all developers and credit for the same as well. You can quote me on this. I love the hacker way and we want to give back. Obviously this also benefits Wickedleak. but ofcourse we are looking to create a win win. The popular custom rom developers for us will be most valuable and we will look to hire them as they will be indespensable. All we want is to delight the customers and get you on board. Profit we create win-win and share. Do email me and lets get talking.

I would really love to join your endeavour, but the thing is, I'm not exactly a dev...(I'm in 12th grade now, and you know how the pressure is here.)

Hi,
Your project seems interesting and I'd love to be a part of it.. I've posted a couple of tutorials on building kernel, roms and have built kitkat from source for the mt6589.
Regards.
Will you also share the framework sources with community ?
The by far most annoying issue with MTK sources is that it's almost exclusively kernels, with no framework source code.
P.S.:
I considered buying Faea when they promised source codes and Cyanogen, but so far they have not delivered
If you do share sources, I will definitely buy a phone of yours (and do my best to make you noticed by the Russian MTK enthusiast community)
Hi,
I am wondering if there is a common way on this forum to express support for the development of a specific custom ROM for a phone? Is there a commonly accepted way to do this? (Came here to see if I could +1 a LineageOs thread for the Zenfone 9)

Hey mate,
I was thinking to contact developers and pay them to build lineage OS and make it official!
Or the other alternative is Learn how to build it and submit it for review on LOS website..
If you have any suggestions?
cool, no idea how to go about that, but I would be happy to contribute as well. I'm sure others would be too - I am on a forum where there are multiple threads dedicated to finding a good small deGoogled phone (community.e.foundation). There must be a place where people can put up amounts for a development like this, right? Sort of like a Kickstarter for a bit of development? I will ask on the other forum too

The problem with LineageOS is that when there is no more maintainer for a specific model the phone just goes to rubbish, no more security patch... same for the other custom rom... eOS depends on LOS repositories and even if lineage stop supporting a specific device eOS will keep updating their all supported devices... That's why I really like eOS. It doesn't matter if some features are unavailable... a phone is supposed to be used for call, text. Nowadays, everything seems to be sophisticated however it doesn't need to be... I'll start asking some recognised developers if they are willing to work on a LOS build for the zf9 for some money participation... maybe start a crowdfunding of an alternative without fraud!!
Bump
Hi bro,
Sorry got no time at the moment I ended up using a one plus 6 with eOS... I haven't started anything yet. I might need some help to organise something about crowdfunding..
Good luck and let us know if you have some ideas. Thank's
