My roommate is going to begin working on getting this device rooted. He told me to do that he needs the uncompiled kernel and source code (I believe, if that doesn't make sense please correct me). I have rooted my phone before by myself so I have a little experience, and can get temp root so far on the phone. Would anyone know how to acquire what he needs? I have the device in question and I'm not afraid to risk breaking it to get this done.
Also if anyone has any general advice I can pass along to him please let me know. Thank you!
TL;DR
Friend needs source code for Samsung Galaxy J3 to work on custom rom/kernel. Where/how to acquire this?
Here are the source manifests for msm platform. Choose msm8916_64
https://codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release
Here is the repo instructions.

Here is the closest kernel sources I could find.

Good luck.
I think this is what we need, I forwarded him those links and will find out probably tomorrow if they are what he was looking for (but from the sound of things it should be). I can't say thank you enough! I had -no- idea where to even start looking!
any news?

We have a working permanent root at this moment but no custom ROM yet. Here's the link to the root thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66423732#post66423732

Suggested Thread Idea(Sorry if in wrong section), if devs do not want this, could a mod please delete this? Thanks!
This thread is meant to relieve the load on devs and provide a source of ideas for them. No offense to devs, I'm not insulting your capabilities. Besides, I hardly know any programming.
Anyway, I'm thinking of collecting suggestions from the many people who make up this X10 mini developing community. I'm sure all of us would want to help as this benefits everyone. Also, some of us here have knowledge of Linux Kernel programming(although not in android) and could help. No questions are to be posted.
Here is an example of the format needed -
Kernel Unlocking - Fool the bootloader! <- This is the title.
Concept: Instead of trying to deactivate or skip the locked bootloader, is it possible to actually fool the bootloader into thinking the one you are trying to load is legitimate? Perhaps by imitating the properties of the kernel that the bootloader looks for, we could load a custom kernel onto the phone.
So, a question to devs - would you rather want or not want this? Thanks!

Oh, I see. Nevermind, thanks a lot!
Okay, Hello to all!
Here's my story:
i have a ZTE Blade III Pro and there isn't kernel source for that phone or roms, only "make up" roms .
But there is CM10.1 for Blade G who has almost the same specs as Blade III Pro, so i ask developer to port for Blade III Pro and he told me that the only way for me is to rewrite his device tree on blade g for my blade III pro, so my questions is how do i start? from where i dont have any skills programing or something else, and i really wanna start doing this

But I think without kernel source, this could be a risky venture. Definitely make sure there is a good tool to return your phone to stock before you get started.
You might find some more general info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
I am not a developer, so can't offer any direct help. Good luck.
Thank You!

Thank you for you help bro, i'll see what i gonna do
Hi,
I'm building a custom rom (aosp) for my device(j5 2016) and although I have had moderate success I want to enable VoLTE on the device. What files should I modify to get this feature? I'm new at this.
I have already tried asking on the device specific forum and the devs there either don't know how to or are unwilling to help. I have also tried searching but couldn't find any thing. If I have missed something please give me the link.
Thanks
I only put this as a request since the most common thing is that people are looking for ROMs that haven't been developed. So I want to ask someone if they can provide the necessary steps on building/porting so we can all collaboratively pitch in towards development on the v30. Tons of users(including myself) would like to learn to build and or want some ROMs ported. If anyone can point in certain directions or even post a mini guide for the rest of us to use that would be greatly appreciated ?

+1 haven't built anything since Cyanogenmod, need to dust myself off.
I also want to make an H933 stock flashable zip. (minus recovery)
It sounds good, i would give a try too.
same as any other device. get build environment setup, download source and device trees and start building.

As another kinda nudge for ya; here is a guide I used when building for the Moto G 2015.

Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
Come on,some devs got to give something... I know I'm not the only one looking for this.....

Do you think following a "guide for compiling roms" enough to compile roms after roms... it's not so easy. I'm not developer, only was curious to try to build roms for my phone. All information you can find on the internet, just need to search.
If you really want to start and learn, first step is to prepare your PC to android build, ex.:
