So, in the good spirit of helping out all of the developers here I also requested the kernel source from HTC...here is the response.
Dear Mr. Keen,
I understand how important it is for you to have access to the source code for the EVO 3D. We are working on getting this posted, however it does take time. Please be patient and when the source code is ready to be posted, it will be posted on developer.htc.com.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
HTC
i know why you posted this in this section, but should still be in the general.
mods please move this thread.
Can someone please point me how to create a new device tree for a friends device. It's a completely new device and has no support from it's company etc. and I want to build a rom for it. Can someone please tell me how to build a device tree? Thanks
Device Tree
Dear CedArctic,
Hopefull nobody helped you till now and if my assumption is right, nobody will. Actually the top developers also don't know the exact way to build a proper bug free device tree and the Android Device Tree structure is so dynamically changes from build to build, vendor to vendor, there is no strict rules to follow.
I am also stuck creating the device tree for Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (GT-I8552). Requested several top developers, contributors, however nobody helped.
Shabbypenguin built a device tree for this device, however that is buggy and he will never share the knowledge. I don't mind. This is very common in developers society.
I will request you to join my forum as I am trying to teach several aspects of Android so that everyone can become at least a entry level developer or at least understand what happens in the background. Though my forum is in Legacy Device> Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro > Developent still what I teach through tutorial is basically universal.
Meantime please go through the below mentioned link:

Hopefully these will give you some basic structural idea.
Please do revert back to me so that we can discuss together and create a solid tutorial over device tree.

ROM or kernel? Manufacturers don't typically supply the device trees needed to build AOSP for their devices, and I've never heard of a OEM providing the source for their custom Android "skin".
Ok understand, this is Kernel.That is, compile Kernel, and boot android on my phone.
Hi guys,
I made this thread for all the developers to discuss about their new projects, errors while building, source building, help and support, CM bring-ups, patches and fixes, since we don't have a "Developers discussion" forum for our devices and developers too. :laugh:
It's a nice place for newbies like me to learn a lot from the awesome devs here. :highfive:
This place is just for developers and people trying to build ROMs from source or kernels.
NOTE- THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR BUG REPORTING OR REQUESTS
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE PROJECT PLEASE PM ME YOU NAME.
Try to keep this thread clean :angel:

How to download cm10.2 source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52339783#post52339783
This local_manifest made by nolinuxnoparty is kinda a messy(From my point of view).
https://github.com/nolinuxnoparty/android_device_samsung_delos3geur/blob/cm-10.2/README.md
It messed up my source(whole).So just to prevent if anyone downloading any source code ,download the source first than make a backup of it than mess with it
RESERVED
i found this device tree (cm 10.1) https://github.com/OUDhs/android_device_samsung_delos3geur
can this be used to build cm 10.1 for our device??
to me it seems like this device tree is incomplete...
also if someone has any knowledge about device tree pls teach me what it basically is and how it works... if you know of any threads about device tree pls send me the links...
Tks..
Nolinuxnoparty has revived the project on github of cm11 branch

Don't know about that source code looks incomplete to me...
A device tree is a tree data structure with nodes that describe the physical devices in a system.Device tree is basically a colletion of data about our phone.It is like a king and source code is like a worker .It tells how to make changes in the source code to make for custom rom etc.... for our phone:laugh:
Here read this:
http://elinux.org/Device_Tree
If you want to make than try this:

please correct me If i am wrong

Friends ... pardon my intrusion, but I've been reading the topics about our grand quattro for this CM ROM, I do not know desemvolver noob and do not have a legitimate developer today ...
But the tree of the handset MOTO G would not help us because it is a device compared to ours and already have CM ROM would help? If yes glad, if not sad I apologize ...
