Hey guys
First of all: I'm not good in develop! But i want to start with CM porting to our Gen8
I just get some infos from chulri how to port CM.
What have to be do:
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
I started a Thread at the CM Forum about this I'll report here..
( http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24048-cm-port-to-archos-gen8/ )
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
I hope chulri will answere me soon so i can do this
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
This have to be done from a guy who has Kernel Knowledge! Anyone?
If anyone's interested i could send a link with an how to, i've found onthe web
Everybody is invited to help to getting this Project started!
Greetz,
Lenn
I'm not a great porter, but I've shadowed a lot of porting with the cm roms, I'll try to do my part if you host the project on something like github(both kernel and rom). I also have a little bit of kernel development experience.

Thats good You know more than me
I just could host the normal kernel and rom, because i've do nothing yet
(When chulri answered me i'll catch the original binaries, you can read this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029507&page=3 )
You think you could the first step i described?
That would be assome
thank you for start the ball rolling!

Not sure what you mean, you want me to explain how to extract the original binaries?
If you need a tester i'm your man ^^
(and if i can be of help with anything else learn me and i'll try ^^)

First of all, Thanks for a help appear!!
I think he mean the step of porting CM7 to gen8 is:
1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
2.Extract some Gen8 Binaries
3.Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
so, step 1 should be "1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8"..

Thanks for support! Maybe you could search someone with Kernel knowledge who could do the first step, i think this is hard

Yep,sorry about that, thank you for correcting me
Thank goes to all you guys!

Oh, well I've never really created a build script before but there are plenty of guides instructing on how to do so.
Extracting the binaries usually consists of adb pulling all of the binaries required for the complication that are proprietary/closed source. I suppose you could just copy/paste them to your sdcard then copy to a computer if adb weren't around but that's just extra work.
As to which binaries we need, I'm not sure yet but we can cross that bridge in a bit.
To make the build script, we should probably analyze other build scripts for other devices and the directories for them.
This thread might aid in development, I doubt they have the build scripts for archos but they at least have examples in the program I'm sure and other tools to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969266
Also for whoever attempts to get a functional kernel for cm7 this page may be useful(or possibly me just making sure I read this later)

Okey, you really knows a lot more than i am
I'll do the binaries, just say me where they are?^^
Maybe you could try the Build script(s)...
And for the Touchscreen Driver:
We've to look for somebody who do the instructions i've found on the net

Okey, i know this Thread, its great except the fact it don't support Archos ^^
I'll send a message at these guys about archos devices and parallels about our gen8 devices ad supported devices, so we could create our own script to do it from scratch like they've do
But i now i go to bed^^
To start with build scripts I would recommend to find a device - which is supported by CM, if there even is one - which has similiar hardware as the Archos Gen8 series and start from there instead to start from scratch.
If there is no such similiar device series you unfortunately would have to start from scratch

Okey,thank you
there is no device similar to our archos that is supported
But is it possible to "mix" it?
Like:
Cpu - from a phone that has Arm Cortex A8
[...]
we put together all parts
woukd that be possible?
Yes, CPU might be the most important common part, then WiFi/BT, DSP (for hardware acceleration of videos), Sound, Touchscreen and in the end USB host port.

I haven't found anything too, but I did some research in the beginning of this year: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...nMod_for_Sholes#Prepare_the_Build_Environment
After installing the repository on the build machine, you have all the build scripts from other devices and can copy and adapt them.

Ubuntu is the best for developening, isn't it?

a) adb pull (this is what the "extract_files.sh" does)

Same answer as in 2
from what i understand 2.2, 2.3 doesnt support usb hosting which is needed for the archos screen
is there a fix for that?
i know android 3.0, 3.1 support usb hosting...
Hi all. I have been through the AOSP website and built a basic rom, but I can't find it.
Sorry this is such a basic point - and related to another site - but can anyone point me to the output from the build process. I initiated the build with lunch and then used make to, er, make it, but can't find what I've made.
Thanks
Edit: am I right in thinking the output is a .zip file? If so, think it has failed because there's no .zip anywhere
not in your work folder? (the folder you were in while 'making' the rom) lol

No. I'm assuming it'll be in zip format, and there's nothing like that in the working folder.

Hi..im a quite fresh android user after having iphone for the last 4 years....i have a huawei ideos x5 pro that for me at least is a great phone for his price..but the major problem is that we don't have devs for our phone...only one chinese guy that develops roms for at least 7 phones so we aren't his major concern...so im asking if there is a complete noob guide for compiling rom..fixing rom.
i have to tell you and please don't flame that even that i have knowlage over pc's i haven't any knowlage over programming and coding!!so if any guide can't help me it will be ok...i try! but if there is a guide that can help me step by step to understand the basics and then with a bit of research can figure it out the rest it will be helpful!!
Thanks!!
Sorry for my english!

There isn't a "type this, click this, A,B,C" guide. That would be called just copying somebody's work. What you need to do is start reading through ALL the guides you can find, compile a kernel, read smali, change colors, mod pictures, unpack-repack boot.imgs. I can't give you a link and say "Read this tutorial and you will be a developer", that's just not how it works.

if u r good at linux, u can try this guide >>> http://handycodeworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/linux_versus_android.pdf
I compile linux kernels for desktop, but the android kernel is not the same. Cyanogen team and GOOGLE Android developers provides a comprehensive guide on building ur own ROM. But to build ur own OS, u need to understand each component carefully. I don't know abt android, but i am making Linux OS from scratch. I have kernel compiled, tool chain set up, now i am putting apps on it. But android uses DALVIK VM for Java apps, also .... U refer the pdf it will tell u. Once i finish making this OS, i'll focus on Android ROMS. They r similar to Linux OS, but require patches in kernel, a light c lib, new fs, a different vm (dalvik) and different ways of managing i/o interrupts and much more..
this link is on porting android on nokia >> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Porting-Android-to-a-new-device/
this one is on linux on embedded systems >> http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2010/12/07/android-linux-kernel-additions/
Also, sorry to say but learn C/C++/Java . To make ROMS, atleast to make modifications and to understand the kernel u'll need C. Not very hard to learn, Good tuts on Lynda.com and other sites. And be good at Linux. Happy Learning
Hello,
I want to root by desire Z(g2), as a long time linux user procuder seems easy. The problem is all the files I found for rooting are from unknown sources. Maybe I'm being little paranoid but I don't find flashing files of unknown origins secure. Where can I find root files that I can completely trust? I can't seem to find upstream sources.
Thanks for help

Once you find out the dependent files (Re-read the guide) you take these files and package them in CWM flashable .zip not necessarily adding them into the apk file.

Oh man, I would love to be able to get the PixelMaster app back on my Zenfone 2 (I'm running Cyanogenmod 12). The default Google camera sucks horribly compared to the stock ASUS camera app.
Has there been any more work on this project? I'm gonna read that guide myself and work on it, but I guess I'd have to put the stock ROM back on my phone first.

Oh, really? That's kinda nice, although yeah the depth-of-field working would sure be nice. I'll have to try it out tonight. I can just use the .apk from the OP, correct?
Well I tried installing that .apk from the OP. Had to allow installation from unknown sources first, then after hitting Install, it asked me to give Google permission to send data and whatever else. Regardless if I select Accept or Decline, I always get an "App not installed" message.
Damnit, I was looking forward to using it! I think I'm gonna try stripping it from the stock ROM myself.

Alrighty, thanks. I actually was searching for PixelMaster .apk this weekend but didn't have much luck besides seeing a ton of frickin spam sites masking as legit .apk download sites. I'll do another search tonight.
Hopefully I can get the .apk to install. It sure would be nice to have the depth-of-field working, but after skimming through that thread linked earlier (How to Port OEM Apps to Your Current ROM) there's no way I can follow that. It's nice the guy put together a guide, but being unfamiliar with this stuff I need to follow something written in clear English.
I guess the ASUS Camera app was easier to find than I thought. The first time I tried it was nothing but spam site after spam site. Maybe it was Bing's fault, haha.
But I got version 2.0.0.150805_5 and it installed with no problem and works great. Thanks for your help, ejames2001, I appreciate it.
