It is. You would just have to revert every single commit made in the past 8 months. Not really an easy job at all

[Q] About building from sources DerArtem's ICS

Hi, I've managed to setup a building environment from DerArtem git sources, now facing some strange behaviour hope someone can help me:
ten day ago I succesfully built all, now till about 3 days after repo sync I've got linking error on external/webkit, so after some googling I realized something were changed in CM9 sources. I've added in Artem's BoardConfig.mk this line
Code:
ENABLE_WEBGL := true
after that change all went good.
Is it the right way, or are there other patches to apply?
Another one:
before cm9-rc1 I could select full_betelgeuse from lunch/brunch menu now I have to write at command line: lunch full_betelgeuse-userdebug because full_betelgeuse is not available in the lunch menu (before it was the 5th choice)
Is there something missing in the build chain?
Thank you.
I can't help you but please share your ROM once you manage to get a working ROM with the latest CM9 build.

Well sir, this is Artem's and nopy's ROM, I'm sure they'll publish soon an update.
I'm just studying a little. They have done an amazing work, I'm trying to learn from there work.

How to compile a CM rom for unsupported devices?

Hi
I'm quite new to android so be gentle.
I,ve been trying to compile a CM ROM for my device Huawei g300 (u8815) and I found two Devs sources, Dazzozo and Kra1o5. They have their repos in github and its easy to download them and compile a CM Rom.
BUT, what i want to do is to create my own repos. I mean, i want to make a CM ROM just from source and from a Stock Rom without using any devs sources.
I cant find any guide.. could you help me to build a port of CM to a unsupported device?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to build CM11 for a legacy device?

I have a LG P350 which development has stopped but i want to keep it updated, i have my computer ready for building, also i have kernel sources, Cyanogenmod 11 and 10.1 sources too, (I don't know exactly if 10.1 sources could help) and i know that i need to apply patches to work on Armv6 but i don't know how to apply them to the source code, also i don't know if i would just need the pure source code to build or i need to do more modifications to it and finally, i don't know if the rom would work with 2.36 kernel which it's the most stable one for this device, i'm very new in this but i know that i can keep update my little phone, thank you all in advance for help.

Hello, looking at your situation here is what I can conclude. First off you will need to change things for building on ARMv6 architecture, check this out for example. But your biggest problem will be that Android 4.0+ uses Linux kernel version 3.0+, and with the 2.36 kernel you have a lot of things will be broken and need fixing. That being said if your up for the challenge for it cause that's what were all about .

Well, i got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144790 that is the most similar phone talking about hardware, it has 3.0 kernel working well so i thought i could port it, i found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15961306/porting-kernel-from-another-device so i think i would have less problems due hardware similarities (Look here http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3516&idPhone2=3735 ) so, if i have cm11 pure sources, i add this kernel sources and some patches i would have it booting? Sorry for this very dumb question but, i didn't get at all about the armv6 part, how to apply patches, which i would need and all that, i really want to learn about this so thank you for this answer and the next ones :good:

The best way to start is use the ARMv6 branch of Cyanogenmod 11, replace the CM 10.1 in the previous linked build guide with cm-11.0 ("repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-11.0"), and then to direct the build to use your kernel take a look at this guide on integrated kernel building with Cyanogenmod.

[ROM][Porting] guide to cm11

Hello everybody. i serached the net a bit and found this guide on how to port CM11 to our devices
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
my phone is still on service (two weeks now )
but i thought before i get it back if someone wanted to try to make it happen.
i wouldnt say im that much of a developer so i think theres people out there that can make this happen faster than me.
anyway i thought to start this thread so people can try it out and talk about what we have to do and help people out with the progression.
Help appreciate

Any help is greatly appreciated!
I have set up a ubuntu box and got the cm sources.
I followed the instructions to build the device files from boot.img
Tweaked the BoardConfig.mk and can build recoverys from source now using the stock kernel.
Only problem with this is the 'dtb' part of the recovery.img.
I use Android Image Kitchen to copy the original recovery dtb to the ones i have build.
[Q]Can anyone tell me how to build dtb in the recovery at build time?
I have downloaded the android and kernel source from LG for D620.
Source from LG
[Q] Can anyone tell me how to merge them with the CM source?
In general i need some help to build the kernel from source, the instructions in the LG source don't work for me.
