Now that I had some fun building AOSP for Nexus7, I'm looking into building AOSP for Galaxy Tab 2.
Since the Tab2 is not immediately supported in Google's AOSP where does one begin? Do I pull down a branch from a Samsung github into the AOSP project? Will this enable the lunch command for Tab2?
I realize proprietary hardware drivers (the vendor files) will need to be obtained as well.
Where does one begin compiling AOSP for a device that is not immediately supported within the AOSP.
Thanks!

Hey,
I want to create an AOSP ROM (KK 4.4) for my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini but for this I have to get the specific proprietary blobs. Now my question is where can I get them for Android KitKat? Do I have to build my own, port them from another phone or can I extract them from the stock Rom which is Android 4.2? I do not have much experience in building ROMs from source but I read a lot about this in tutorials and I think it would be possible for me to build an AOSP Rom if I have this proprietary blobs.
CyanogenMod (11 is avialbe for my smartphone) is created from AOSP so it must be poosible to create a "normal" AOSP Rom but from where get the CyanogenMod developers the proprietary blobs? Each phone has other proprietary blobs but for each phone it is possible to create unofficial ROMs with higher Android versions. How is that possible although the drivers and so on are not open source (except the Nexus Devices)? From where can I get the proprietary blobs?
Greetings

Hi,
I'm not a developer.
I've Innjoo i1 (which is a MT6582 phone only available in Middle East and Africa)..recently Mediatek release the source code for MT6582.and CM source is available to download I see.
So I just wanted to know if this's enough for me (or someone else) to compile Cyanogenmod for our device..(Speaking CM 11 or 12)
If it's enough then I'll read and learn then compile it..if it's not..tell me to stop.
And what exactly do I need to compile CM for X device?
Thanks.
I extracted my device tree from my boot.img and I have a Kitkat Kernel for MT6582..Now what?
I just need proper steps.
Thanks.
I'd suggest reading a lot of this and getting involved with Cyanogenmod for mediatek devices
Hello. I have a tab named "willow". It is very low legacy device. I can't find any source cod for complie Cyanogenmod. But i want it. How can i port Cyanogenmod to my device?
Recently I've been interested in creating a stock Nougat ROM or CyanogenMod 14.1 ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850F). I've been reading and watching a lot of tutorials on how to go on about doing this but the example phones which they use have supported official CM builds unlike my SM-G850F. I was going to follow this tutorial but stopped at getting the proprietary blobs when mentioned that his phone is supported in the official CM directories. I then went surfing the net to see if I could extract the proprietary blobs from a ZIP which ended me up at this website which says yes, I can. However, my question is if I can use an unofficial build such as [5.1.x][SM-G850F] CyanogenMod 12.1 UNOFFICIAL for the Galaxy Alpha (slte) (final) to get the proprietary blobs for CM14.1? Despite that ROM being built for CM12.1. Another question is if building a stock AOSP ROM is easier than building a CM ROM and where to go to get the proprietary files for AOSP rom building. Thanks guys!
Hi,
Im new to building roms
Trying to build for my phone j7maxlte SM-G615F
However, the device trees, kernel, and vendor trees all are for lineageos 14.1
I want to compile it for 19.1
What changes do i have to make to the tree to make it compile?
if you don't have sources for kernel 4.14 you can't compile kernel 4.14 it's that simple isn't it?
so i can't build 19.1?
i gotta make a new kernel?
you can build newer LineageOS on low kernel, not sure how it works. the oldest device I use is Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (stock ROM Android 4.4. Kitkat) the developer @html6405 has built LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) on old kernel maybe he can help out
