[Q] [NEED HELP][WIP]Firefox OS for Lg L3 (e400) - Firefox OS Q&A

Hello to all, im trying to port Firefox OS to the LG L3 (e400) phone
From now, i forked various repos of b2g and other to github (http://github.com/kprkpr) (if repos doesnt sync right,try in some hours,and if still occurs,say it please) and with the great help of feherneoh now we can start to modify and build more and great!
Here the alpha builds, a zip for use with cwm https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ydSl9VOrADU094c0J0S3dYeUk (Kernel and some fixes by Deeiko )
Steps to build it yourself:
first install dependencies (look here for look at) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites
Create a folder called firefoxos
Enter to firefoxos folder
Open terminal there (in firefoxos folder)
Commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/kprkpr/B2G.git
$ cd B2G
$ ./config.sh e400
##Maybe the "./config.sh e400" command has to be executed more than one time becuase random errors of download##
$ ./build.sh
And later install the zip that are in /release folder
Maybe there is a error when starts to build of android.config, solution:
create file android.config in /external/wpa_supplicant_8/wpa_supplicant/android.config with this inside:
CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y
CONFIG_EAP_MD5=y
CONFIG_EAP_MSCHAPV2=y
CONFIG_EAP_PEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_GTC=y
CONFIG_EAP_OTP=y
CONFIG_EAP_SIM=y
CONFIG_EAP_AKA=y
CONFIG_EAP_PSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_SAKE=y
CONFIG_EAP_GPSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_PAX=y
CONFIG_EAP_LEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_IKEV2=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_HOSTAP=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y

Thanks for reading, I hope that with help we can get full Firefox OS to L3
(This thread of building can help..is for cm9 but it solves some errors for b2g too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980379)
Now editing sources and files to try again, a LOT of thanks and credits to feherneoh!
For now works the touch, ui, music, bt, ril (some) ,and i think gps too. no wifi(doesnt turn on,but in some builds by adb can search wifi,but not connect), no camera(FC), ui big

WOW, I installed this using CWM and it boots! No wifi, no sim, no camera, ui big and gliched in settings, but it loads photos, no music but videos loads 1 sec.. desktop works
How you did it?!?!?
Edit:Hehe, I flashed my imgs using your boot.img and doesnt work too..Maybe is because you use a zip and I use .img , you you did the zip??

feherneoh said:
I have my own customized source (FoXperia) and I added some stuff from CM, so basically I should be able to build these buggy versions for any CM9 supported devices. I make zips using make otapackage or build.sh (modified)
You should check my sources: https://github.com/feherneoh

You are great! Yes, I will view now your sources

Hi, i were reading your sources (they are great!) And, I was coping, forking and modifying my repos with your repos.. Later I intent to build from my computer with your sources forked..but not build, it builds almost all I think, but it says that has two errors,one relaccioned to Nswindow.o and other of
Out/target/product/e400/obj/DATA/gecko_intermediates/gecko .(it says error 2)

make clean, then try again
I use patched gecko, but those patches are for battery/dpi

I do that and doesn builds...
Maybe is a problem of system.. I use Lubuntu (Ubuntu) 13.10 64 bits
I repeated the steps using you repository directly
$ git clone https://github.com/feherneoh/B2G.git
$ cd B2G
$ ./config.sh e400
$ ./build.sh
And fails.. same errors Nswindow.o and the other of out/target/product/e400/obj/DATA/gecko_intermediates/gecko ..
How you compiled it¿?
Note: When I start compilng ever tells this before start
"awk: fatal: no se puede abrir el archivo «sdk/files/tools_source.properties» para lectura (No existe el archivo o el directorio)
find: «../../external/apache-http/src/org/apache/http»: No existe el archivo o el directorio

Is normal??

Oh...
My computer continues no building for e400 I tried 5 times erasing the folder and doing ccache --clear ..You have any idea about the nswindow.o error??

feherneoh... Your new build of ffos for lg l3 http://d-h.st/INo , and a build I do using your repos..(they are equal builds, same size) and doesnt boot, it passes from lg logo but it doesnt works, it white screen and restarts..
Maybe the fail I view in the reports of the build command that missing b2g files like:

Only worked your first build of days ago (this: http://d-h.st/2TC ) , but http://d-h.st/INo and the build of mine using your repos, doesnt works..only pass from lg logo and white screen, and then restart..

feherneoh said:
Okay... The update that broke the builds was released since that, so maybe I only have to fix manifests

oh..Good luck, I hope you will repair this rare build bug soon

you must be running cm9 on your e400 before attempting this
cd /path/to/your/directory/
git clone https://github.com/feherneoh/B2G
cd B2G
./config.sh e400
if you want a specific version like 1.1 and not the latest, change the last line to -
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
BRANCH=v1-train ./config.sh e400
adb pull /system backup-e400/system
cd /path/to/your/directory/B2G/
./build.sh
feherneoh, any chance of some stable builds being put up, ffos is currently on v1-train / v1.1.0 and your builds are creating v1.4.0 see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing
it would be worth running at the same speed as Mozilla so that if bugs are encountered we know it's device specific and not because we are bleeding edge.
all cm9 vendor lge e400 files are here: https://github.com/cybojenix/android_vendor_lge_e400
I'm going to have a look at this in the morning.
Edit: successfully built 1.4.0.0, lets see if ril and wifi can work, now trying to build v1-train

You can try older versions too
vendor files are downloaded by repo, so no need to do that, but you can try. I'm using vendor from github.com/TheMuppets
That system backup is used to get the vendor files, isn't it?

System backup is done automatically for the ZTE Open, included for completeness.
If I try to change Branch, your repo-manifest advises it cant find any of them.

Hi, I installed your build and it only shows a white screen, black screen, white screen,.... Logcat: http://pastebin.com/x1y16m0p
And a logcat for the first build that did feherneoh(http://d-h.st/2TC), the unique that boots.. http://pastebin.com/w9EwBj3w
I think only will work builds using b2g sources that are not the lastest..

suggested hack to get icons to a better size:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.b2g/yrSLfHEuwYc
Code:
So the GetDefaultScaleInternal() method will return a
GAIA_DEV_PIXELS_PER_PX=1.0, according to
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/gonk/nsWindow.cpp#532
Maybe the fix would be to hack GetDefaultScaleInternal(), make it return
0.5 in this case, and update the icons accordingly ?

I think for resize icons it has to add to build part GAIA_DEV_PIXELS_PER_PX=0.75 , not? "GAIA_DEV_PIXELS_PER_PX=0.75 ./build.sh" ¿?
But..if dont boots (only pass from lg logo and any else last builds..), its a bit absurd to have the icons good.....

---

I view that the revision of the build can be (supposedly) changed too changing revision in gaia, gonk-misc and rilproxy
<project path="gaia" name="gaia" remote="b2g" revision="v1-train" />
<project path="gonk-misc" name="gonk-misc" remote="b2g" revision="v1-train" />
<project path="rilproxy" name="rilproxy" remote="b2g" revision="v1-train" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And..i discovered a mirror of gecko in github here: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev that has a lot of revisions like master, b2g, release GECKO2501_2013111218_RELBRANCH, etc etc..
<project path="gecko" name="mozilla/gecko-dev" remote="github" revision="release" />

Feherneoh and hecatae, you said that maybe using v1-train or other less new revision maybe builds not??
I'm trying but I'm sure that you have more idea..

Yes..from now almost the result of all files is a black/white screen.. Only this build works: http://d-h.st/2TC
Only install in CWM, doesnt works if you have sdmerge installed
