I am trying to build cm12 from rom source. I have succesfully built the rom for hammerhead, following the instructions in their wiki.
But when I am trying to build cm12 for devices like i9082, I am unable to proceed, as I can't find the device name in the lunch menu.
How do I build the rom for such unofficial devices?

I need help to build cyanogenmod or AOKP rom (android 4.1) for a device that is not yet supported by anyone (I have not found threads on forums about some rom for this device, nor found something of this model on github). That's why I would like to try to build a custom rom for this device, so also learn a little more about android (I have basic knowledge).
I have alcatel sources in this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
I read that first I have to create the device tree to begin building the rom in ubuntu. Could anyone guide me on how to use the sources (android 4.1) alcatel to create the device tree well or that could be the procedure to start with this?
In advance thank you very much.
PS: Any help is welcome, I hope some experienced developer can help me xD
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.
Hello there,
I am trying to build a rom from scratch for xolo black device. The problem is that they have uploaded only kernel source.
Therefore, I can't figure out how to build the device tree and other things to make a working rom package. If I want to port cm12 to my qualcomm device (unsupported), then what I need to download and the order to executing the commands. I downloaded cm 12 sources but after that cant figure out how to compile other sources and libraries when all I have is kernel source code.
I want to use normal official google version of lollipop/marshmallow as the stock firmware UI is laggy and full of bugs.
I just cant seem to get a straight guide to make a rom from scratch with custom apps and launcher while using the kernel provided by the vendor.
Please help me out.
Thanks.
Recently I've been interested in creating a stock Nougat ROM or CyanogenMod 14.1 ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850F). I've been reading and watching a lot of tutorials on how to go on about doing this but the example phones which they use have supported official CM builds unlike my SM-G850F. I was going to follow this tutorial but stopped at getting the proprietary blobs when mentioned that his phone is supported in the official CM directories. I then went surfing the net to see if I could extract the proprietary blobs from a ZIP which ended me up at this website which says yes, I can. However, my question is if I can use an unofficial build such as [5.1.x][SM-G850F] CyanogenMod 12.1 UNOFFICIAL for the Galaxy Alpha (slte) (final) to get the proprietary blobs for CM14.1? Despite that ROM being built for CM12.1. Another question is if building a stock AOSP ROM is easier than building a CM ROM and where to go to get the proprietary files for AOSP rom building. Thanks guys!
Hi,
Im new to building roms
Trying to build for my phone j7maxlte SM-G615F
However, the device trees, kernel, and vendor trees all are for lineageos 14.1
I want to compile it for 19.1
What changes do i have to make to the tree to make it compile?
if you don't have sources for kernel 4.14 you can't compile kernel 4.14 it's that simple isn't it?
so i can't build 19.1?
i gotta make a new kernel?
you can build newer LineageOS on low kernel, not sure how it works. the oldest device I use is Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (stock ROM Android 4.4. Kitkat) the developer @html6405 has built LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) on old kernel maybe he can help out
