My humble request to devs and users is that can anyone with the proper knowledge post a tut on how to compile aosp Rom from source for xperia 2011 devices particularly st15i so that we can Learn it. What are the files and how to edit it in source code to build a bootable working Rom for xperia mini st15i and also the driver binaries needed for device to work properly or with minimal bugs . Not aokp or cm just pure aosp. I'll be really thankful if you take it into consideration. Right now there is not even a single tut for xperia 2011 devices to compile from aosp sources (according to my knowledge)(if it exists please post the link!) .Thanks for spending your time in reading my request.

can anyone help me to learn a bit more than android!
I heared about compile form source and biuld form source...And I can't understand what diferences between compile from source and port! can U explain easily?
for example should I want to bring superOxygen Rom in my x10 , should I port it with cm as base or compile form source?!
thx
for short:
porting means you are making rom to your device from another device, you will be just moving libs, editing ramdisk, etc.
compiling from source means you make a complete rom from scratch including programming own drivers, libs in some situations.
If source is avaiable fot superOxygen then you can try compiling it yourself, but editing, or adding your drivers is necessary, and anyway its harder than porting, but gives better result in fact because you can program everything to make it work and you aren't dependant on binary files like in porting.
When porting, hardware should be close to one you have in your X10, because most things will not work when processor differs, wifi modules, gsm etc. You take files from any X10 rom and replace ones that are with same name in another rom (oxygen here).
Thanks very much man!
I took your advices...it was good advices but what is your idea about this:
If I port Superoxygen from Nexus1 for my x10 and (use stable AOSP as base) , then can I say I make a superOxygen Rom?
compiling from source is how much difficult?! I'm 17...! , I have a link that teach compile from source... Is it need some Knowledges that is impossible for me?!
heh, im 17 too and I don't have much knowledge, but looking on pcfighter(a gt540 developer) im impressed, hes 17 too and does a great job, so it depends on time spent and interests
when you port oxygen, you can just say that you ported and not made it. credits go to the maker and you for just making it work on x10
I'm looking now how to compile for gt540 but can't find any idea how to make it strict for gt540 compiling from source tutorials are mostly for nexus s and nexus 4g because most of are just remade of what you can find on official android developer page and its easier. For unsupported device its even harder, you have to work with what you already have and add it first to sources then ... more things to do. I'm beginner with that too, just pulled sources yesterday and looking how to make it work :] so don't expect so much help in this way :]. Just telling you overall how this looks
For compiling you need to know Java and C programing language.

@mesaj! do you know c and gava programing languge?! ofcourse I worked c++ a little...
Thanks now I also know what the difference is.
In easy terminology. Compiling a ROM is building a ROM from the source code so it means you are building a ROM from the ground up. Porting a ROM to your phones means to take a ROM built for another phone and to get it working on yours. That's the simplest way to think of it. I have in my signature a guide for compiling a ROM. Oh and I'm newly 18

In going through our Neo forum I have noticed that we have excellent ROM builders and Modders but we lack consistent kernel developers (No offence to our current kernel Devs). This thread is to integrate all the talented kernel builders out there including existing ones who have knowledge in modding kernel from source I.E.
*Adding Governors
*UV/OC
etc...
Maybe a team could be established if needs be. If you are interested please reply in this thread with ideas and let's make our Neo even more awesome
Thanks
I can help though i have a neo L
The aim is to build various kernels for various needs
Sent from my Neo V using xda premium
There is a threas in Q&A about dual booting. maybe this could be a project to work on.
I am not sure of the advatages of it, but it may encourage more devs to get involved if there is a project to work on, not just "lets make as many kernels as we can".
However, I look forward to seeing the outcome of this, and good luck the kernel builders
actually learning how to build one
I also want IN I have Neo L and Linux Mint
I'm no developer, but kamarush before started building a 3.x kernel and got it into the debug stage, however had to sell off his device, so I think he stopped working on it.
Edit: just checked again, he's still working on it, he's one dedicated dev.
Edit 2: Kamarush got the 3.x kernel booting :victory:

Hey guys CM 10.1 or Android 4.2 has been released for our brother Xperia Arc!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018822
I've heard FXP won't be bringing CM10.1 to 2011 devices. But Arc has got one and the testers say it to be pretty stable for daily use (As seen in the linked thread). So is it possible for it to be ported to Xperia mini/LWW/pro etc?
A) After several requests from users FXP already stated they will be working on cm10.1 for 2011
B) a pre-build based on the rom you suggested is already avaiable in our forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032900
Cheers

Thanks a lot man! wuhuuu.. Now I dont need to buy a new phone and can stick with my LWW only
I have some request...
can someone port Cyanmobile Experience aka CMX for Xperia 2011 MDPI or for Satsuma
this is source from Squardzone
https://github.com/CyanMobile
Please Help me
A simple request from just ONE user isn't completely enough to convince a dev to start working on a ROM...
Why don't you try porting the ROM yourself... there are many guides available on the forum for this....
If you face difficulties , ask
This way the devs will be more than willing to help you out
you may try my old test build for Live with Walkman here
http://arlandroid.blogspot.com/2013/09/custom-rom-cyanmobile-experience-untuk.html
some minor bugs already noticed, but i think this rom is perfect for daily use
im not sure continuing this project because my laptop already broken months ago..so just enjoy this release
thanks..
im not responsible for any damage taken by flashing this ROM, but i have already test in my LWW and working perfectly.
and this release is for Live with Walkman only, thanks for algae and rage, member of xda for their kernel.
Hello ,
After 3 years of development different roms from all versions ( from android 2.3 and up ) , in the last days , developers turned to work on the latest android version ( 4.4 kitkat ) and leaving the older ones , they are right anyways newer is better of caurse , actually all development section is filled up with 10 active threads of kitkat roms and one or two of ics .
Well , that's not the problem , the problem is that there are 10 threads means 10 devs who are working on their ported roms , yes , but they are all based on Mike's "infinished" cm11 . And because Mike is working alone on it , development is slow , and as a result the other's one will be slow as well , and that's the case from the begining !
My point is , developers who are wishing to base their work on a "infinished" one , they should first help in finishing it as quick as possible then they do what ever they want ,there are great devs out there , I mean why they don't try to make a team and work together on big processes like porting a propre cm11 or like what you have done with nAa and 3.4 kernel ? that will help a lot the devs and the community , and Mike has always said "On the i9001, 8 devs work on 1 device, while on our side, 1 dev works on 8 devices" about how cm11 development goes with other devices .
If you agree with me make your move and form your team to do things faster !
devs :
- @mikeioannina
- @alinolaw71
- @Dark Raven
- @vishal_android freak
- @Amir Hoseinina
- @Langes
- @3andala
- @evil.demon_s
- @cr3pt
- @sud.vastav
- @skull47
- @vampent0026
- @HeadFox
- @Achotjan
- ... ( tell me if I missed an other kitkat developer )
If the thread is in the wrong section , please MODs move it to the right section . And if you find it unuseful , please delete it
Thank you very much .
job.
in the past few days i was thinking about making such thread like this...but u made my work easy ...completely agree with u man...thanks alot
If I'm not wrong, many people you named are only themers, code developing and zip editing are different things.
Keep in mind, that there aren't many people with at least basic knowledge of building Android.
kinda agree with this one, there's no significant differences between those kitkat rom (except PAC )
yep, most of "developers" just change apps/icons not code like @mikeioannina
yes maybe cause I didn't pay attention to who is expert or not but everyone can help at least with his current knowledge , in addition to the others who are experts in coding roms and kernels mentioned there .
If Mike , as the main cm11 dev , make request to developers , that will help a lot like what nAa did in the past .
job.

Its very easy to say that " many people you named are only themers and most of them just change apps/icons not code "
Just try once to make a z1 or z2 framework for cm...!!!
It takes alot of efforts just to port z1 or z2 framework compatible to themes
And most of the rom dev prefer to work on mike's rom because they feel easy to download a 200mb zip file and work on it instead of downloading 50gb of source code
And now a days there are.many users who have downloaded the source code and building their "self compiled " build
But they are just downloading the new commits and compiling a build
There's a difference between source coding and only compiling some commits
Ya...compiling sources is also not a simple job as bugs reports are given..no doubt about that
So devs like mike langs dark revan and mardon who are actually working on cm 11 should be given their time to give us a stable cm 11 as we dont have enough knowledge about making changes in the source code

Please don't keep tagging Mike here again and again, he will not like it... he has already been tagged once in the OP
also, as has already been stated above, off the top of my head, only Langes and Mike have the expertise to work at kernel level, most of the other JB+ kernel developers have abandoned our devices...
Hmmm...honestly there only a few real developer for our 2011 devices....other just some that port roms from different version of custom roms...most of them just download from mike source and build up them there.....those were the guys can give us variety of custom roms for 2011 devices...there also other than just maintainer from certain team....there are also the one that mostly help mike by submitting same patches to fix and bug on mike build....
all of them depending on mike source code to build their own version of custom roms....remember their might be the developer of the certain roms but there are all depending on mike just like we user do....
