I've managed to compile the latest source for our lovely device using a tutorial for the Thunderbolt. Is there a general guide related to our devices? Need to know folder structure and such for the 3D.

HTC hasn't released the latest source for the kernel in 2.17.651.5 yet. What folder structure are you talking about? Compiling a kernel gives you zImage and the modules that work with the kernel you compile. You can use koush's anykernel updater zip which will place zImage into boot.img (kernel+RAMDisk) and copy the modules to \system\lib\modules.

Not folder structure, I wasnt clear my apologies. I have anykernel updater. I was just seeing if there was any specific folder that listed all the compiled modules or if I had to go and manually pull them from each folder. I've been practicing with the .3 source just to get a feel of basic kernel dev.

As far as I know you will need a Cwm flashable zip.....
I guess you have just created a zip of the ftf file......

Do some search buddy...... you will gain more if you search yourself......
Nyways heres the LINK which may be of great help.........
This was my first guide for development......
What you can do is flash stock rom and get cwm to it
Then go to backup in cwm and create firmware.zip
It will do all the stuff for u and just place this file in the input folder!
So can I create gaming ROM by using this Android Kitchen??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
By Gaming, you mean Fast and No Lags? You could make a rom faster than stock with the Kitchen but this was designed to work with all Devices so its just a basic tool here. For real performance, you need to do device specific tweaks and all so you ought to learn to do it manually

Someone is back
Nothing is like a real gaming rom unless u overclock gpu and give it more ram
Term we(not me) use as gaming Rom is that we keep more ram free and high minfree values so that good amount of ram is available for the game
So I have to do tweaks to make a lag free ROM??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yup Take a look at some of the roms released here to get an idea of the tweaks normally used

you will have to tweak so as to reduce lag and also get more free RAM which can be used to play games.........
Take a look at OOM Groupings, Dalvik Cache and also tweaking the CFS ( Thunderbolt Script would be an ideal base to start with ) These give the most noticeable improvements
The most famous tweaks is thunderbolt right?? Do I have to do manually or what?? Step by step instruction to do a custom ROM please..... if not then nevermind!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The best way to learn is to download any custom rom, go through the entire thing yourself And take a look at my guide for making cwm flashable zips and you'll be able to understand how things work What you do is open Thunderbolt tweaks zip and go through the files in it and try to understand the code

You are smart, that's why you understand the thunderbolt codes....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Its not very hard mate Just go through a few simpler scripts first and then you'll quickly understand it too I started understanding what these scripts do a week into my development start, but it wasnt till later i realised its just basic Shell scripts Learn Shell Scripting for linux and you'll be able to understand these commands easily
What is Meta. inf??

Meta.INF contains just the updater script which is run when you select the .zip file in CWM.......

Hi everyone i want to run my device as an emulator for app development.. Im on Ubuntu 12.04
..so the problem is i can't list my device in adb it shows
??????? No permissions...
Things i already did
Created /51–android.rules file
I couldn't find my vendor on google dev site so i copied vendor id by listing all usb devices attached to my computer.. But even that didn't work.. Please help
Sent from my A89 using xda app-developers app
Ummm don't know your device but I would add all the vendors from the dev site and if that won't work I'd Google your devices maker and see if anyone has ever accomplished it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
on linux you should run adb as root then it would work , if using eclipse , run it using root user .. and it would also detect phone then..
I am trying to compile a kernel for LGE-P690 from CM ICS source but i don't have the device in my hand i searched all over the net for vendor files but i was unsuccessful in finding vendor files for ics but i found one for gingerbread so is there anyway i could perform ./extract-files.sh without device or can i convert gingerbread vendor files to ics if so how elaborate and tell me please.

If theres not already a master ICS source for your phone(No device tree),then yes you have to use the custom ICS rom on your phone so it can copy the right proprietary files to the source you repoed,or it will not run,you will get bootloops or a soft brick.

Hey, do you have a noobs guide on making a device tree. I know how to compile cyanogenmod, but I have this low legacy device, the Samsung Dart, and it doesnt have a device tree. I want to make ics or jb for it, but have not a clue how to make a tree, all my other phones are htc and samsungs, they already have some.

I tried porting using the standard cut and paste method from the Grouper version of PA onto Hisense stock rom but CWM touch recovery would not allow the installation of the .zip file. Anyone having any success getting PA onto this tab?
I tried something similar with a pac rom. It was from an Acer 7 inch or something like that. I used a device that said it had a tegra 3. I think it was a a700 but not sure. The result was the same would not even install.

OK I tried doing a port of aokp with the grouper jb1 milestone 2. Basically what I did was extract the rom then unpack the kernel then modded the ram disk init.c and fstab to match some of the settings in the sero's files. Replaced the grouper kernel with the sero stock kernel. Then a repackaged of the kernel. Then I extracted randomblames vendor tree in to the grouper rom. Then I zipped it and tried to install it. I got the error 7 a couple of times the it installed. And then it froze at the hisense screen. When I tried building from source using rb device and vendor tree I kept getting a manifest error. I have followed all of the guides on how to port roms on xda and none have worked for me.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app
Well I found out the manifest error was in relation to a missing .mi file full_adopted.mk I think. Anyways now it is building, just did make Bacon m470 . I am using randomblames device and vendor trees from taktik and the prebuilt kernel. So it might not even boot due to the sources being for 4.4 and the aokp source is from 4.2.2. This is my first build for android. I want to learn how to build the kernel from source with tweeks to run cm based roms.

Would really rather have PA on my sero so keep up the effort!
Its my first rom so I picked something no one else was doing, aokp. If you want Paranoid Android just use the dopa rom and update the xposed framework and download the module that lets you set dpi per app and the module for phablet or tablet modes. It kinda makes pa redundant. But if I ever get this to boot I may do a rootbox/pac/schizoid type of super rom but I would need help. I'm learning. This is a learning experience.
