How long until the release of the source code? - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Does anyone knows how long will it take to Moto/Lenovo to release the source code for Nougat on our devices? I'm new in this kernel stuff and I want to make some changes but can't seem to succeed without the source code. Thanks.

[Request]Soruce code of 4.1.B.0.431's framework

hi
I am looking for the source code of 4.1.B.0.431's application framework (source code of jar files in /system/framework ). I have got CM9's framework's source code but could not find Stock Rom's source.
Can someone help me in finding it please ?
U wont find it. Oem never give source for their rom, or else we would see sense running on xperia or touchwiz running on lg

Agree :highfive:
Well, I only need framework.jar's source code.
(Bytecode injection and java class decompiling would not work in all cases.
)
I am looking for it since I found out that Sony has released the source code of Xperia S kernel
I am sure that someone could find it

You can't find it. it's not public released. Android open source in OEM's meaning is releasing kernel, and maybe some libraries source code. You can't expect that big company, like Sony, can release something that makes their phones another than pure AOSP, that costed a lot of their employers effort.
I don't think that Sony has made huge changes (like changing classes names and methods) in the original framework. So, they won't loose that much in releasing the source code. Android isn't their own operating system. Anyway, if someone can get it that would be great.

[Q] How do you update build source code?

I just setup my build environment and download source code and custom ROM source code. Unfortunately there was an issue with the custom ROM and I had to wait until they fixed it. I need to update it the code and rebuild. How do I go about it?
Thanks.

[X1] source code available

hope some devellopers will use it, if it is what it seems.

How to get Source Code?

How developers get the source code to develop a custom rom?
for example, How CyanogenMod get marshmallow source code for SIII 9300 which hasn't have this Android version?
I wan't to develop my own rom for my device, but I can't find specially Marshmallow pure source code for s3.
There isn't device set source code. Just a base code. Then you have to get/make the device trees for that device.
Then it takes weeks sometimes months of bugs to fix.
For that device to be honest you will be hard pressed to get a fully working set up as there is no kernel for android m for that device. So you will have to merge the code bit by bit and add some of your own

Alternative, compatible custom OS

Hi all,
Now that CM is dead (RIP) and official Lineage OS for the Wileyfox Swift 2 has not yet happened, i've been looking into other alternative OS's that are compatible with the Wileyfox Swift 2 [marmite].
However i'm not seeing any that are compatible for this device (Resurrection Remix, Dirty Unicorn, LineageOS (yet) and wondered if anyone has had any experience with any other custom OS's that they know are compatible?
Thanks
There are none because there is no source code for this device. You must be patient and wait until Wileyfox releases (Before the end of this month?!) the promised Android 7.1 update, and hope they also release the source code with it.
I did several modifications to stock CyanogenOS 13.1 version for myself, but I found not worth it sharing that, since we're going to receive the new update really really soon. If the update is a disaster, or they do a OnePlus (release the update on the 31st, late in the night before the end of the month, and full of bugs), I'll consider sharing it. But until then, just wait for it.
Thanks for the update. :good::good:

Thats not true there is maybe not a source code but the chips inside the device (and drivers) are also used in other devices wich are so you can make roms for this device.
There are no roms because this phone isn't used by many peaple yet or the community isnt big at the moment for this device but we can port roms from the xiaomi redmi 3s for instance

WTF? Do you think that by having same CPU means we should have the very same source code? I know there's source code for the SD430 in codeaurora, and that Xiaomi released sources for land, but that doesn't mean anything. It'd require a lot of dirty and unnecessary stuff to get it working here (it's not only about the CPU, right?), and since Wileyfox is REQUIRED to release the source code (all OEMs are) we can avoid it by just waiting patiently. From there, building Lineage will be easier, but hey, if anyone wants to do the hard job, use land-m source code and try to port it, is free to do so! :laugh:

Manufacturers need to release kernel source as it's under a GPL license, but Android itself is under the Apache License 2.0 and manufacturers are not required to release any source code. In fact the vast majority of manufacturers do not release any of their internal Android code.
And having kernel source does not magically allow you to make custom ROMs. In fact you shouldn't even need the manufacturers kernel source unless they are using some obscure hardware.

I know, but it's better having and working with it, isn't it? I know we will need to bring up a device tree, and that it's not that easy, but starting out of a good base is better than mixing sources from other phones, at least that's my opinion.
The kernel sources are already available for a long time (slowpokes?): https://bitbucket.org/wileyfox/kernel-wileyfox-msm8937

Oops. You made my day man. I swear I wasn't able to find that, I had no idea they published it already, they didn't mention it on social media, and whenever I asked them on the support chat they were like "Sorry, we don't have that".

Because I do not think that the public (where most users are not geeks, probably) will be interested in the post that the developers have released the source code of the kernel. Or someone beforehand, before closing Cyanogen Inc, released the source code for the kernel. And support is usually not answered to such questions, because they do not have such information.
But in any case you need the information you need to find in all available ways.
