[NOOB QUESTION] About device and vendor tree - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hellow everybody!
My device (Acer cloudmobile) has great hardware Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB RAM etc... but has almost 0 community for developers... so no 4.2.2 or 4.3 custom ROMs, just an cyanogenmod 10 (4.1.2).
I want to start compiling cyanogenmod 10.1 from source, but I need device and vendor trees. So here is my question: can i use device/vendor trees from the cyanogenmod custom ROM or do I have to create my own trees for CM 10.1?
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Compiling Cyanogenmod from source

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

[Q] Cyanogenmod for MTK Devices

Hello respected developers,
We all now know that cyanogenmod has successfully been able to develop for Mediatek Devices by building official CyanogenMod ROM for Android One (MT6582) device. Now I want a help if anybody would like a new student.
I want to port this ROm to my Intex Aqua i14 which is also a MT6582 device and has Android 4.4.2 which is almost AOSP.
So can anybody guide me so that I can go ahead with my project I am intended to move ahead with?
Millions of thanks to the helpers.

The porting process is very easy but the tricky part is that you need to find ROM's with the SAME specs and with the SAME chipset
You''ll need Cygwin and Anroid Kitchen
You can follow this guide http://fabosums.blogspot.co.at/2014/02/port-any-rom-to-mtk-device-in-5-mins.html
Good luck and let me know if it works :good:
Android one got its kernel source released, and so the developer was able to successfully build cm11/from source, and fix all bugs
Most mtk phones don't have kernel source
Also android one's boot.img is apparently different from normal mediatek boot.img format
Anyway, cm can't do much about it
Ask your respective devices developer to build cm for it, if he can

Need developers for MT6589.

Hi,
I'm trying to build a Cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM for MT6589 based device. We need developers who can develop a Cyanogenmod 12.1 based device tree. We have an existing Cyanogenmod 12.0 device tree, but it's having lots of bugs.
--
Here is the device tree: https://github.com/Preet23/android_device_micromax_a116/tree/cm-12.0_dev1
(It uses 3.4.5 kernel as we have already booted 5.0 ROM with this kernel)
If possible, just help me figure out what's the error.
Thanks.

How to convert CM device tree to an AOSP compatible ?

Hi everyone
I would like build an AOSP KitKat for my device (Samsung SM-G350) from the CyanogenMod 11 device tree (because device tree is already stable).
But, I can't "lunch" in the terminal because the device tree is made for CyanogenMod builder, and AOSP one isn't working.
My question is : How to port a CM device tree for an AOSP device tree ?
Files to change, remove, rename ?
I use this one (thanks to SiniTurk for their work) : https://github.com/SiniTurk/android_device_samsung_cs02/tree/cm-12.1
Thanks a lot,
Kevin.
UP please
