[Q] Latest SaberMod Repo address for kitkat - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to download the SaberMod source and I'm using an older thread that has a source address of
https://github.com/SaberMod/android.git -b sm-jb-mr1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I believe the address is still correct but the branch I want to use is kitkat (at least not use jelly bean). Looking around on SaberMod's github I see SaberMod/GCC_SaberMod with various 4.X branches and I think those are the ones I need to select, but not sure. Should the repo address I use be
https://github.com/SaberMod/android.git -b kitkat
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or choose one of the various 4.X version like this
https://github.com/SaberMod/android.git -b 4.10.0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or am I completely off?

When you do a repo init you need to swap in the branch you want to build for whatever is currently in the -b tag.
so... btag
-b ics 9.1.0

Newbie Dev: Building Android from Scratch for new Device (AOKP, Ainol)

I have had experiences with gentoo and wish to try my hands at developing my own AOKP rom for a chinese tablet that is unsupported.
I am currently syncing my repo and wish to understand more before I proceed.
What will be the easiest way to get Android running if I compile AOKP? Given that the tablet runs ICS at the moment, will it work if I compile AOKP and port the existing kernel over?
I have also gotten my hands on the source codes for the tablet.
Do you have a device tree?
If not, first you should create one.
Then only you can compile android.

I highly doubt that there is an existing device tree. Now comes the noob question: How can I check if there is an existing device tree???
Anyway, I have been extensively reading up on building android and gotten the AOKP sources and original manufacturer source. Am I right to say that as long as I can compile AOKP, I should be able to boot using an existing kernel??
As for the the two sources, should I copy over the original devices and hardware folder to the AOKP source before I build so as to ensure a compatible build???

No it is not right to say. While it is possible you will probably need to do extensive debugging along the way.

Depends on what source you are talking about. What source do you have exactly?
You could try my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935162
It does have some nice links to.

What about software binaries for Z Ultra? will Z1 do the job?
@jerpelea
Can you please share a bit more details about the precompiled kernel for other devices there at SonyXperiaDev's git is made from which sources?
So that by then we can compile a kernel.
I'll have a look tonight and see if there is anything I can try
I'm trying to build aosp 5 using z1 binaries from the sony dev site at the moment

Have been stuck at points i couldnt get past.
Lets hope this time something sweet comes :angel:
Many thanks jerpelea.
A device-sony-togari repository is referenced in the readme for the rhine common device tree, but It's not yet public. Can we expect this, along with togari specific binaries any time soon?

the kernel is precompiled from the kernel repo of the sonyxperiadev git. (latest 3.5 branch should be used for compiling).
May i suggest adding "5.0" or "lollipop" to the thread title?

Yeah, that would draw some extra attention. Maybe a mod can add it?
you can use honami blobs but kernel and dts have to be recompiled from unified kernel source
kernel is same unified kernel and has all configs for togari
please be patient and we will add new devices soon

Ok... building kernel right now... let's see

Thanks for the hard work. AOSP id my daily at the moment, only real bug seems to be that cores 1-3 don't go off line (it is using CM's kernel at the moment as the AOSP one had more bugs I think)

If I remember right cm12 kernel didn't boot at all.

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft/commits/26.3.A.1.xxx
there's kernel repo for AOSP and opensource ROMs (https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel)
and kernel-copyleft for Sony's "Stock" ROMs (https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel-copyleft) ,
for additional drivers (e.g. FM/Bluetooth, etc.) you'll need the opensource driver tarball from https://developer.sonymobile.com/do...n-source-archive-for-26-3-a-1-33-26-3-b-1-33/
