[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][UNSTABLE][CM]CM 10.1 Star Duos Info Thread - Samsung Galaxy Star

As, XDA doesn't allow placeholder threads, this thread is (or was) in the general section of this device forum.
This is just the CM 10.1 build built by doc, which can be found in the development section of this device forum.
Starting from third page, this thread is hoped to be kept clean.
As, I had hard bricked my phone. so i thought of flashing this rom instead of stock. It is nowhere near stable or usable.
The below are what's fixed from the orginal build.
Fixed menu and back key by @jerin jose
Fixed stale odex dependencies errors, fully deodexed the rom.
Fixed invalid partitions errors.
Fixed WiFi and Bluetooth not showing in Settings
Fixed screenshots.
Fixed hwcomposer.
Fixed camera.
Fixed all sensors : rotation, gravity and linear acceleration.
Fixed brightness control.
Bugs:
Audio not working from earphone, yes it works from speaker:
Network(SIM) not working : logcat just increased to 66 lines per second @[email protected]
External sdcard mounting : (external sdcard has to be reinstered for succesful mounting, first time it gives this error) : logcat
E/MountService( 359): Error processing initial volume state
E/MountService( 359): java.lang.NullPointerException
Other bugs are unknown, some of the above bugs may be fixed by editing the rc scripts in ramdisk. but as i can't boot to recovery with key combo and also as this device doesn't have fastboot mode. It's gonna be a real pain in the.. brain for me.
Any help from anyone is appreciated.
** The rom won't be uploaded until at least major bugs are fixed. However, if you want to help by testing, pm me**

So as some of you might know.. @jerin jose shared CM 10.1 for Star on 1st April.. i guess it was an april fool's joke by someone.. coz it's the cm 10.1 by doc.. i checked the kernel, build.prop and everything . it's the rom by doc no doubt..
but today is 1st May.. and since i had hardbricked my phone.. i thought of flashin this rom instead of stock..
Bugs?? simply the same of doc's rom.. coz it is doc's rom. lol :silly:
well.. it's nowhere near stable.. and i tried fixing some bugs... but.. i'm not a developer..
so here's my shot in the darks...
Fixed stale odex dependencies errors.. fully deodexed the rom
Fixed invalid partitions errors.. though storage has to be mounted manually.. and apps can't access usb storage
Fixed screenshots..
Fixed hwcomposer.. :highfive:
Fixed camera
Gapps installed and working..
But.. still a long way left..

yeah.. libnetcmdiface.so is not found so netd can't start :| there isn't that lib in stock... it is only from from 4.2 onwards.. so need to build from source maybe??
i checked the ram disk from mobile.. lots of stuff missing from init rc scripts... i could have modify and check.. but i can't boot into recovery with hw keys.. so if i get soft brick.. it will be problem..
here's it's sysui..

Me and @Unjustified Dev tried to fix that surfaceflinger thing but we couldnt since it is impossible and probably not fixable without proper spreadtrum cpu sources. I hope you are able to fix it...Good luck!
P.S: Need a tester? Im available to test it!

oh... the problem is in sources.. but not of cpu..
the problem is in the old gl libraries not complying with the new EGL specification...
surfaceflinger gives this error..
Surfaceflinger no suitable egl config found.. EGL_ANDROID_framebuffer_target not defined trying without EGL_ANDROID_framebuffer_target
now.. looking at here.. http://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/ANDROID/EGL_ANDROID_framebuffer_target.txt
i see why we get framebuffer errors.. maybe need to add something in gl libraries.. hmm ....

Only way to get sources from Spreadtrum is Im guessing is signing a NDA(Which u need a company and u cant share it with us meaning breaking xda rules) or force them by making a petition. I dont know what can fix these complex bugs. Even if we manage to fix this issue there might be more bugs because of no proper source

uhm... i dont think that's the case...
check the kernel sources.. spreadtrum has given all the sources for boardconfigs soc and drivers needed for booting the kernel...
the main problem here is samsung not releasing proper device tree for star....
disassemble the libs and you will see samsung has made so many f***ing modifications... the core libs are linked and refrenced with samsung libs.. like wtf samsung...

IKR Samsung and their modifications are useless. Is there any way we could make the proper device tree. I mean we did make a device tree but Im not sure if its correct. Check @Unjustified Dev thread for github links.

hmmm.. that device tree is enough to get the rom booting...
im still confused as of what to do to get audio ,hw and ril working... pulling blobs and libs from stock dont seem to be working..
maybe need to compile from source.. but what source.. -sighs-

Tried looking at the samsung galaxy star sources from their open source site. Might help. Or ask unjustified dev if i were u. He knew how to dig in github to get sources that samsung or spreadtrum didnt release.
