The people who make ubuntu have made a tutorial on how to port it to any phone that has an official build of CM10.1.... We have an official build!! Is there anyone here that can help out the noobs like me and port it over for us? If you dont know where to find the tutorial I will link it here. I'm sure much of the community would appreciate it!

Thanks a lot!
Not sure if this is the same thing (I didn't look into either since I'm not interested)

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to learn how to port CM12 to my I717 and there are many threads on XDA that provide a lot of information on how to port a ROM from source. However, I am stuck as place and can't figure out what to do, so please excuse my lack of knowledge and please guide me through this process.
First I started following this thread to do the porting. It has an excellent walk through, but somewhere I missed a step and can't f figure out how to handle it.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40003302&postcount=2&nocache=1
I am lost at the Device Source instructions provided in Step Two (2). What should my command line for I717.
Second, I realized that when I did the Repo Sync for CM12, I remember that I Sycn in the ./CM12/ folder, however, all the folders are downloaded in the home folder.
Whatever the reason, I screwed up somwherre. Can I move all the folders to the CM12 folder, if so how? Would it be better if I delete all the Sync folders in the home location and re sync in the CM12 folder?. I prefer that I do it the second method, but not sure which folders to delete and how to do that?
I am using Ubuntu (Please note that I am new to Linux, But willing to learn).
I would kindly request you to please help me learn by providing step by step instructions.
Thank you for your time to help me with this issue.
Start from scratch.

Set up your build environment. This link is tailored to our Note-1, not a generic "insert_your_device_here" recipe for destruction. Slap JamieD's "thanks" button while you're at it.
Build CM10.2 or CM11 first, to get the hang of it.
I've attempted to build CM12 on my own. My conclusion is that unless you're willing to re-write about half the CM source code from the ground up, CM12 isn't going to happen for us. Android 4.3 and above were extreme hack/hatchet jobs for both the Note-1 and the Skyrocket (they're sister devices). CM-11 almost didn't happen at all; it took us nearly six months to get a reliably working CM-11 build.
Indeed, CM-12 isn't happening for a LOT of devices, this "early" in the game.

Don't give up just yet, we have been working diligently on source bringing it up to 5.0. If you like you can follow my work & get involved yourself? Please checkout my github and get you some builds going. There more Devs we have then the better we can make this device. My GITHUB
My roommate is going to begin working on getting this device rooted. He told me to do that he needs the uncompiled kernel and source code (I believe, if that doesn't make sense please correct me). I have rooted my phone before by myself so I have a little experience, and can get temp root so far on the phone. Would anyone know how to acquire what he needs? I have the device in question and I'm not afraid to risk breaking it to get this done.
Also if anyone has any general advice I can pass along to him please let me know. Thank you!
TL;DR
Friend needs source code for Samsung Galaxy J3 to work on custom rom/kernel. Where/how to acquire this?
Here are the source manifests for msm platform. Choose msm8916_64

Here is the repo instructions.

Here is the closest kernel sources I could find.

Good luck.
I think this is what we need, I forwarded him those links and will find out probably tomorrow if they are what he was looking for (but from the sound of things it should be). I can't say thank you enough! I had -no- idea where to even start looking!
any news?

We have a working permanent root at this moment but no custom ROM yet. Here's the link to the root thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66423732#post66423732

Guide For Root
Hey guys,
Unfortunately miracast does not work with latest oreo builds for pollux (probably same issue with pollux_windy)
Could somebody post a detailed guide on how to fix it? I tried out a couple of things already (e.g. adding wfd.wlan.hdcp=disable in build.prop, flashing different zips from other forums that were supposed to fix it, etc) but it didn't help
Any help or hints are welcome

See topic title, I apologize if this description is brief. I have experience in porting Samsung roms from the S7. How would this differ?
Would it even be possible? If anyone's curious what ROM, I can always specify. I simply want to know to see if it's feasible before I attempt something fruitless that a few simple META-INF tweaking won't solve.
Thanks! - ODO
