Hello Everybody,
I want to know that how can i get the kernel from stock rom or any other method for rom development especially for ICS development for our Device i.e. Micromax A85 a re-branded model of K-Touch w700/Cherry Magnum 2x it is an Tegra-2 Dual-Core Device and still running on Gingerbread and now we want ICS :crying: . But the only thing which we are not having is kernel source and Micromax is not giving it to us as well .So people please help us.Please!!!!!!!
And if you can help us in any different way like helping as porting rom from any device to on our device, Please let me know!!!! :cyclops:
Micromax is ****.
We fought long enough for kernel source...got nothing..
My A70 has Froyo...we couldn't get touch to work in CM7...it booted though..
I don't think there's any hope in the kernel source matter.

Well Bro. You are right i have fought for those kernel too but we didn't get anything at last and they kept deleting our posts from their fb page.
And for your device i found this on Xda while surfing a long time ago and thinks that you might want to give it a try........
" Micromax uses qualcomm chipsets. You can find their kernel here. Just look at your device's build.prop for ro.product.board. For example, my Micromax A57 uses msm7627a chipset. "

I was referring about Micromax models that uses Qualcomm chipsets, as most of them nowadays release Qualcomm based CPU.
Regarding, Nvidia Tegra 2, search for a similar device (maybe Samsung/Sony/Motorola etc.) that uses this CPU, and see whether they have got any custom kernel. Maybe it helps regarding directing to actual sources.

Thnx Man, I will try to find the source.
Hello,
I have an Ampe A10 Quad core tablet (Freescale I.mx6q chip) which has quite a small dev community so far so I am looking at building my own rom for the device.
i can get by in Linux and learn fast so feel I can do it. I have been reading constantly for the last week before even starting to get a grip of whats what. I am trying to make an ASOP version of 4.0.4 to replace the stock 4.0.4, rather poor rom.
My question is what do I do about vendor overlays as there is nothing out there for this device or anything similar. I have done a lot of searching on this and found the suggestion "You could just use an extract from a working Rom or phone" " You use the extracted proprietory files to complete the source" . I understand I need the proprietary binaries to make the build but i don't really understand what that the suggestion means.
Any help you could offer on obtaining the files I need from the stock ROM and how to setup the vendor overlay would be most appriciated.
Cheers,
I don't have your device man, but if there is another similar device out there with a similar board and chip configuration search github for a repo that contains an "extract-files.sh" file for that other device. Fork it, clone into your dev environment under your Device folder, connect your tablet via USB (make sure adb is running), and run that script. It should pull the proprietary files required straight from the device and you may be better off.
Hope this helps a little! Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the advice. I have spend some time searching but cannot find anything on github. There are only a couple of devices that are similar. The Ampe A10 Sanei N10 and Hiapad F10 are all the same thing just rebranded, the other is the Zenithink C94 but I cant find anything on any of them.
How can I create a new device tree for my device? (which from what I understand is what I want) It would be a good thing to achieve as it would help others in the future. I have been through the "Configuring a New Product" on the AOSP site so now understand a bit more what's going on.

extract-files.sh is a cyanogenmod creation, so you'd be lucky to find anything....... Linaro offer support for the sabre lite development platform which is a i.MX 6q based board, maybe building Linaro's version of the AOSP would be a good start
Here's a couple of links to get you started
https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite - Overview of the Board, you can check how close it is to your device
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource
You are correct you need to create a device tree , a couple of good resources I've used in the past when creating device tree from scratch are
Embedded Android ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920021094.do ) this book is pretty close to the bible on the Android Build System and worth the Investment. Alternatively ( more importantly free! ) a slide deck by the same author ( http://events.linuxfoundation.org/slides/2011/abs/abs2011_yaghmour_porting.pdf )
Android Device Porting - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvxYt3AkbrE
Could the extract script not be used to help pull the right files straight from the device for his vendor folder though? He would just need to edit the list of files to be pulled in the referenced list the script uses in the loop if he knows what configuration files are needed, no?
I'm by no means an expert but on first glance that's all the extract-files script does...or is there something I'm missing? I'm learning too so would be good to know either way lol

Apologieses if that came across as abrupt, Just sayin' you'd be lucky to find one that come close to his board etc, iMX Freescale chips are not that mainstream But yeah if you can find an extract script than have at it! Saying that why do you even need a script? just pull the files yourself through adb, pointless wasting time searching. The question then becomes, what files? And that is unique the each device and each version and how much of it is open source etc,etc.
I think the OP is probably a way off doing that, when I've played around starting a device tree from scratch, I've find it is easier to start off with the base requirements, i.e processor architecture, maybe start with building a mini package first or even BUILD_TINY_ANDROID on a generic arm board. The whole starting from scratch thing is not a small task, which I suppose was your point in the first place lol
For sure. It really does boil down to what files, whether a script is used to pull them or not lol.
Thanks for the links by the way, SUPER informative

thanks for all the great info Trevd. The Sabre lite board is very similar indeed! There seem to be only a few minor differences which are inconsequential anyway. For example the tablet have less USB and no Ethernet. I think it could be a good starting point.
I guessed when I started this project it wouldn't be a quick fix but that't not a problem, At the end of it I will have my own working ROM and that's the point.
I can see the Freescale chips being taken more in to the main stream in the future. The tablet is VERY fast and reliable it has just been let down by poor, half-arsed software. For example all the aspects of Android relating to telephony have still been left in.
Thanks again,

The Freescale Github account is here, and it doesn't look like they provide much more useful stuff than their meta-packages there: github.com/Freescale
What I know is that for every SoC they have a page (sorry, not allowed to link yet. just search "i.MX6" on the freescale website) where they offer demo images and at least a set of patches with some documentation on how to build that Android branch.
E.g. at "Operating System Software-Board Support Packages" you can find a demo image for Kitkat and a source package: "IMX6_KK442_100_ANDROID_SOURCE_BSP" (you have to register a free account with your mail to download this). Then usually it works like this:
Get the according AOSP branch from Google
Apply patches provided by Freescale
Clone their kernel repository
Clone their uboot repository
Build
Look for a document named "Sabrelite-Android_User's_Guide.pdf" for more detailed information. Sorry, I can't remember if it was included in the source package or in another download provided in their list.
Hi,
I have been planning to port cyanogenmod for Micromax A121 Elanza. As of date, there is no custom rom for this model. So, I decided to build my own cyanogenmod for this model via the guides given in How To Port CyanogenMod (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro) . In this page, it is given "architecturally similar to other devices that are already on the market and have existing CM ports. If you find an "ancestor" or "sibling" of your device, much of the work may already be done for you!".
My question is 'How to find an architectural similar model for the aforementioned mobile model?' What components (processor, screen size, pixels, RAM, Memory) matters for architectural similarity? Please help me to get a mobile model which is similar to A121 and having CM port.
Thanks in advance...
Most important is the device's chipset and vendor.
It seems that the A121 is based on a Snapdragon 200 msm8212 SoC. So it would be optimal if you could find another micromax device using the msm8212.
You could for example look at the Wikipedia page for Snapdragon processors.

Hi Uroc327,
I am planning to port CM rom of Moto G to Micromax A121, as both have almost same chipset configuration and screen size, except the vendor (Motorola-Micromax). Is it possible to port Moto G's CM rom to Micromax A121?
It should be definitely possible. Just depends on the invested time
Basically as the Moto G has the same SoC you can reuse most of the HAL stuff (hardware/ directory). But you will still need to handle vendor and device specific stuff like the kernel, prebuilt binaries or some config files for example.
But seems doable to me
Edit: looks like I looked up a wrong chipset for your device.. According to the screenshot you took you have a Snapdragon 400 msm8226 chipset.

Thanks for your immediate response, Uroc327.
Sorry, I have just swapped the configuration shots in the image. Actually, the one you previously mentioned is the correct (Snapdragon 200 chipset). Could you please elaborate on configuring kernel, prebuilt binaries for the targeted device(Micromax A121)? I have following components ready with me,
Stock ROM of Micromax A121
CyanogenMod 12 of Moto G
A system with Java,.net & Android SDK
Already I have ported these ROM(by just copying and replacing some files), but I am getting stuck at boot loop. Where I am doing wrong? What may be the root cause of boot loop?
Thanks in advance.
Looking at a CyanogenMod tree for the Moto E (which uses the Snapdragon 200) it seems like CyanogenMod sources contain lots of hardware handling code out of the box.
I doubt that the kernel for the moto g will work for a completely other device (other vendor and even other chipset). But I'm no expert in kernels so I can't provide real details here.
Actually Micromax has to provide the kernel source, if they've changed anything.
I'm also having some hard times figuring out, what I can build from source and what I need to copy from stock. Maybe there exists a tool somewhere to determine just that but I didn't find it yet (if it even exists).
Regarding your bootloop: do you know, id adb shows up? So how far does the system get before it reboots.
And what files did you replace?
Probably the ramdisk is somehow doing the wrong stuff. I could imagine that there may be some props, partitions or other device specific settings which were correct for the Moto G but are completely incorrect for your device.

A dev team managed to port a ROM of LineageOS for Android O enabled devices that is Project Treble certified. The Asus ZenFone 4 ZE554KL is certified as a A device in Project Treble. Since according to the dev team, this device should work with this ROM. How do we get it to work on the ZenFone 4?

Has anyone tried this out to put project treble on the zenfone 4?
There is a YouTube video where it shows how you can make your own rom with that method. It looks like you need Linux which I can use. The Dev unfortunately has not given detailed instructions on what to do yet even though I requested it.
Any news about that?
does anyone have any updates on this?
It would be of great help to us if we had any other alternative ROM for replacing ZenUI, I hope that some DEV will help us. I unfortunately do not modify your ROM. Help us dev's :/

Wifi doesn't work? Well that's a problem, because I can't fix this. For my device Wifi works without problems and I can't fix bugs which I can't reproduce on my device.
I have the Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL with MSM8937 (Snapdragon 430), 3GB RAM and 32 GB Memory.
Are there multiple versions of the same device out there?
Edit: Make sure, that your modem firmware is for Android 8.
At the moment I concentrate on the camera bug, but that will take some time (because I'm on vacation in the next week).

The Snapdragon 435 (msm8940) is a different SoC. Maybe the WiFi driver, which I integrated in the kernel doesn't work for this SoC (I used the Wifi driver from the Xaomi Kernel for msm8937). Does your phone has already the Oreo Firmware?
Thats amazing.
I'll wait for the camera and battery drain fix before i test it.
How much internal space does the rom takes?

You need the device decrypt file only on Stock ROM. And I didn't testet, what happens with magisk (I don't use this). But Root (the su zip from lineage) is already integrated. You can enable root in the developer settings (but System files can't be changed at this time, because the system partition is read only).

Hey guys, I would like to know if dev will also develop something for the ZF4 Selfie (X00LD), because it's a good pen device that ZenUi cuts too much of its potential performance.

Developing for a device, which I don't have is impossible. For the example for the Zenfone 4 I produced about 20 not booting Images before the first fully booting image. After every build, I need a device to flash it and see in dmesg and logcat whats going on on the device (luckily it is possible to connect to the device with adb shell during the boot animation before the system is up to watch out, why the image don't boot).

I understand, it's a shame my X00LD is new, if I had another device I could start learning how to compile and do it, but ...
Using Android Studio, can I emulate a device like that?
if that's the case, I start my studies today.

Android Studio can emulate a generic android device, but not a specific device. You will need Android studio only if you want to develop Android Apps. For porting Lineage you don't need it (I even haven't installed it on my build vm).
Here is a short version how I build the Lineage image (I will complete/correct this tutorial, if I'm on my PC at home) (you will need a Computer with much RAM. 16 GB RAM is recommended)
1. For building you will need to set up a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM (so you should know how to use Virtualbox) (the Ubuntu VM have to at least 8GB RAM). Or better: Use a real Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Machine.
2. Then you have to execute the steps from this tutorial from "Build LineageOS and LineageOS Recovery" to "Downloading the source code".
3.After that you have to put the local manifest (I will post that file later) in the .repo directory and sync again.
4. Then you will need to download and extract a Stock image from the ASUS Website for your device.
To extract you must first decompress the system image file with brotli and than convert it with sdat2img. After that you can mount the image and copy all the files out in a seperate directory.
5. After that you cd in the device directory and exec ./extract-files.sh PATH_TO_EXTRACTED_SYSTEM_FILES
6. At last you have to cd to the Lineage build dir and exec the following commands:
source build/envsetup.sh
export LC_ALL=C
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G" (if jack runs still out of memory during building increase the -Xmx value to 6G)
export WITH_SU=true (for integrated root)
lunch lineage_X00I-userdebug
make -j4 bacon (replace the 4 with the count of concurrent build jobs you want to use)
After that you you will find the flashable Zip in the out directory.
To rebuild after changes you can repeat step 6 (to rebuild only the changes files) or delete the content of the out directory and repeat step 6 (for a full rebuild).
And if you didn't close your terminal window you only need to exec the make -j4 bacon commend to start a rebuild.
To update the sources of android you have to run repo sync in the lineage directory.

It may have been asked...
Is this rom compatible with the 2gb/16gb version of zenfone 4 max?
The RIL wont work for me but the wifi does.

I tried it, and it's really really smooth, I can't wait for an update, if of course you plan to do one RIL and Wifi didn't work for me sadly, otherwise I would've kept it as a daily driver I really love the stock Oreo UI, thank you for your work, we always appreciate it

Same as yours bro..the RIL wont work for me except for the wifi. This is a perfect game changer rom if all the things in this rom is working.
