So i've been looking on the internet for some ways to port any CM to my device J100FN, i found quite a few but some of them are outdated or badly explained etc etc...
I'm gonna put it plain and simple.
I have linux, i have my stock rom J100FNXXU0AOD1, and i can surely get any CM somewhere in the internet (note that i have CM12 for Samsung S3 neo already so tell me if that's gonna do it)
Here are the tutorials that i found so far:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAyxypK7_K8 (says that i need a CM already built for my phone, which is no available)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545618 (same with this one)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786 (and this one is kinda poorly explained at the begining)
Note that i have a rooted device and TWRP recovery up and running on it, also i read about this "Cyanogenmod compiler" thingy thing, but i couldn't manage to download it, i think the repos are down now or idk. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415661) (https://korben.info/cyanogenmod-compiler.html)
IDK MAN I REALLY NEED CYANOGENMOD ON MY GALAXY J1 LTE, i'm kind of a rookie when it comes to complicated roms maneuvering but i still do have basic knowledge (flashing, rooting, few terminal cmd's etc etc...)
Please help, and thank.

Like come on 34 views but no replies...
How did you get the TWRP for your phone? Is there one for the J100? I haven't managed to root my J727 One thing you could do is use the google android tree with all its garbage and then copy and paste the CM tree into it. But quite frankly I hesitate to suggest this because it's a huge pain in the ass, and like I said, I haven't managed to get TWRP working for my phone doing this. I can get it compiled but... I have no idea what makes it specific to the phone. I thought it was enough just to have the kernel for the specific phone...

Idk man, I just looked up a tutorial on how to root it, I had to look quite deeply but I found it and it's working just fine, it requiers you to flash the boot.img too and then root it with Kingoroot, this is the tutorial I followed www .halabtech. com/root-for-j100fn/ (I know it looks shady but it worked, also I can't post links because my account is new...)
Also I asked a dev and he asked me about the source code of the cpu or some stuff, tbh I have no idea why you would need that to make a rom out of a stock rom...
As I've been informed by twrp, the recovery image typically has it's own kernel which means its specific to the device. I'm not totally sure of the reasons for this. I ended up returning the galaxy j727u which has a locked bootloader for a xiaomi, I'll see how it goes.
I see, but that doesn't really advance in my case
Is any devs out there willing to help out a stupid newbie :^)
Come on now don't let this thread die

Lemme get some things out of the way.. I am a noob. I have searched. I have read some of the results from the search. I am overwhelmed by the 20+ pages of results (lol). I am not 100% sure this is the correct forum for this (not sure where else would be ).. I believe this is one of those things where I need help based on my situation.. Ok, so here I go.
I wish to start porting ICS to my phone. That's my goal. I have general understanding of how linux works, but I do not know much about the android specifics of how they work, or what needs to be modified for this to work. I do not plan to use the kitchen tool as I wish to learn this the hard way. I believe this will help me become more understanding in what I am doing. However, at this point I don't and that's why I'm here. My phone model is irrelevant almost because its prepaid and usually the communities don't even recognize their existence.. at least that's how I feel about it. But I digress. My phone is the zte warp by boost mobile and I am here to learn hopefully the things that will get me started on porting ICS to this phone. I right now believe that the best thing for me to learn is how the android related files work because as it is, I only looked at guides on how linux works and I understand most of it. I'm not sure that's the best thing that will help me port ics, but I'm certain it is important.
Please help me figure out where I should start in learning how to port ICS to my phone basically.
Thanks XDA
anyone? I am quite serious about wanting to do and go into this but I have yet one thread that anyone's ever replied to.. (or post iirc) which puts a damper on me

From my limited knowledge, I think it is a huge task undertaking, you can download Android source code from Google, the hard part will be the device driver development and porting for Linux kernel (and maybe portion of Android). If you are lucky, you can use the existing phone bootloader (or you have to port one). Understanding the inner of the phone (different chip set may need different device driver) will be another challenging task.
by the device driver development, you mean all the libs that go into the phone? Couldn't I just copy/paste the pre-existing libs that are already made for the phone? Also the phone im working with is a bit strange really.. noone has been able to compile the kernel from its source and get it to boot yet.. when it was compiled the zImage was different than that of the stock one.
And yeah, I have downloaded the aosp source.. I just need to know where to start at and the processes involved really

To answer you question no the drivers and lib files are different for aosp based rooms then they are for the stock OEM from. The first step will be to get a working kernel. Without anything you do will be pointless
I'm somewhat interested in the same thing, and from what I've gathered, you'll need to do these things to begin ROM development:
1. Read every page on the AOSP site and grab a copy of the AOSP source. It probably wouldn't hurt to read the regular Android developer wiki as well.
2. Learn about Linux driver development:
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ (this is apparently considered THE BOOK on Linux driver development)
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux
3. Learn pretty much every detail about your phone and its hardware, especially when it comes to how ROMs are installed on it. For example, my phone (the Droid X2) has a locked bootloader, so 2nd init has to be used to boot new ROMs, and this makes it so that we cannot update the kernel.
You can usually find this sort of information on your phone manufacturer's website. Sometimes they even post the source code to their phone's drivers, which is helpful.
4. Look at other ROMs (preferably for your phone) and see how they work. The source code is freely available for most popular ROMs.
For example: CyanogenMod keeps their source code in a public git repository: https://github.com/cyanogenmod
5. Get to work on porting!
I would highly recommend starting with something smaller, however, just as a start. One good jumping-off point is probably this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272270
If any part of this was wrong, or if I left something out, somebody feel free to correct me, I'm still a noob.
Thank you so much for your direction, however,, android kitchen.. im not sure about that because isnt that only ment for htc devices? My phone is made by zte
what device do you even have?
if it's stuck officialy on 2.1 or 2.2 there's no hope that if you even port it that it'll work
its the zte warp from boost mobile (prepaid). Btw if I compile an aosp ics launcher and put that on my phone whats the chances of that working?
edit: it uses 2.3.5
Well Sebastian responded on android forums, apparently zte is very bad at version control with their kernel sources. So when they complete one project, they use the same source for the next project, and what they release could be for anything. Apparently the blade source had the same issues, it took him a while to get them to correct the source
Sent from my N860 using Tapatalk
Yeah I noticed that there were ppl saying there were things similar but I'm not sure what will work or what won't.. guess its time to start a petition on zte to release the source code lol
edit: seems like zte's bein a bad company and violated the GNU GPL license for not providing a complete source code.. I compiled an email and sent it to someone who can proof read it and send it to the right person for this kinda thing.. danggit zte
Okay, First of all, I know this is the incorrect place for a "development" thread, But I am currently unable to post in the correct area.. So here is the second best place.
I've had an idea. Since sadly I am gonna be giving back the Samsung Note 2 (Friend let me borrow it) I have to do something with the new Umi eMax I have.. Its a great potential phone but MEDIATEK wont freaking let us have the source code... So, Why not pull it off a rom? You can easily download something like ColorOS, Get the kernel, and extract the Source code, Am I not right?
I am wanting to do this because Umi has been sitting around barely doing jack trying to get the new 5.0 android up and running.. So installing CM 12.1 would be great!
This is probably totally impossible.. as I am a beginner at this kinda stuff, But, would this idea work or not?
I have the build.prop file if anyone wants to take a look at it.. Though we probably all know it runs off the MT6752.
So, Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I just getting completely over confident on this?

Redmi note 3 ROM Uploaders please read!
I have been flashing stock roms for a few years now and I have noticed with this device that many of the uploaders are not providing all the details just some of the following:
Detailed description
Is bootloader to be unlocked first
Is a custom recovery needed
Full instructions on how to install
Screenshots
bug list
Which Gapps package to use
Please provide all (the above) the neccessary information so we can make the decision is this ROM good for us to flash on our phones.
There needs to be a template for ROM postings so it can be easy for the end users. (Forum moderators will know the formula so I ask ye guys to sticky a template)
Thank you (ordered mine 3 days ago come on gearbest I wants my precioussss)

First thing, its not stock rom, its custom rom.
Second, the developers are not being paid, and thus whatever thay are doing, just accept it and ask for help, not post post like this to command them to list things that are obviously common sense.
1. CM13 Nightly, this 2 words give enough description, what more do you need. In this time, if you don't know what cm13 is then don't buy an android. Nightly means that there are still bugs, both minor and major, and sometimes it means that there are some things broken too. The devs also list whats working or whats not. They can't list every single thing.
2. You are flashing custom rom, thus you must have custom recovery like twrp, in order to install it you must first unlock your bootloader. If you have custom recovery, then it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
3. Did you really just asked if custom recovery is needed, are you a fool or what. Let me make this clear, if you want to flash a rom, how are you supports to so without a custom recovery. Stock recovery can't flash rom, neither it can make backup, restore backup and lots of things. The most basic thing to do even before rooting is to flash a custom recovery. Without custom recovery you can't even properly root. Well you can root with some apps, but custom recovery makes it easier, just download supersu and flash it with recovery.
4. Whats there to know. If you have custom recovery, then first create a backup. Almost every thread that i have ever read on xda, it is stated every where to always make a backup before doing anything, even rooting. Then, wipe data cache dalvik system, and then flash the zip file. After that if you wish flash the gapps.
5. What do you need screenshot for. Haven't you ever saw CM13 or ressurection remix. Just google it. they are not obliged to post it here for your convenience.
6. They do provide bugs, whats working or what not. And its not like they know a bug and haven't told other about it. They, in most cases don't know how many bugs there are, the other users tell them the bugs and they fix it.
7. Why would they tell you which gapps package to use. Do they work for google. Anyway, just google gapps, your rom version, ie cm12 or cm13, you mob architecture, arm64 or arm32 or whatever, and just download it. There is no geek stuff behind it that you can't do it yourself.
And finally, you are not paying them do anything, they are doing this because they like doing this. They are not even getting paid by this. So you ordering them to these things which you can do yourself after some googling and using your brain a bit, is just unjust. Just accept what they are doing, thank them, enjoy the rom, and report the bugs, etc etc, and have fun.

1. I know what CM is this is about description not quick copy and pastes from another website.
2. Some modified roms can be ran from the stock recovery.
3. You are a fool this is information for the end user I will slap you with a fresh wet fish!
4. Information is key.
5. Screenshots show people what they are flashing very helpful to the end user
6. They don't always bub!
7. Again inofrmation helps to clarify lot's of things.
Not all the guys that post are the actual devs THAT DO IT RIGHT, some are just bad copy paste jobs coz they wanna be cool n **** and don't Fu(&ing tell me not use andorid you little pretend dev snot! :victory:

If you are using a 32bit windows, then do you ask others which application to install, 32bit or 64bit. Man you are a joke, it's not information, its common sense. information is which partition is used for what purpose. How to restore imei. How to unlock lte band, not which gapps to flash. And there is no stock recovery out ther which flash custom roms. The only roms you can flash with stock recovery are ota.

So if you are not a noob then why are u asking for such things that are common sense. Nobody ask these things now. I just passed class 12 and i know most of the procedure for tweaking an android. I can even write partition table. You just have to search. Not post like this and expect the dev to post them too. Do a little bit more work to achieve something.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
That is all. I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them too not brick a device.

From what I see it's mostly non devs just copy paste guys who are doing it.
Does it hurt to have a small guide or at least the fundemntals of requrements for the installation of each rom?

Hi all,
With the risk of this being called a duplicate thread I just want to clarify that I'm in no way asking to port something for me, and I've read the 2 similar threads around, and felt like this should have it's own place.
So, straight to the point, I've been looking to get involved with android porting, and since LOS and AOKP for our device haven't quite filled my cup I was thinking of trying to port something else (trying to not get into much detail here )
Moving on, after searching around XDA and everywhere else, I've found a tuto or two where the process of porting was explained, and being an average user, I went to grab a "Base ROM", (thought the LOS/Stock ones would do, downloaded both)
To my surprise, files mentioned in the tutorials (framework-res.apk, framework.jar, ...) are nowhere to be found.
Finally the question, this just to save me from a reflash,
Am I supposed to install the "Base ROM" to dump /system to my PC?
Or am I perhaps misunderstanding something?
----
PSA: I'll probably find it difficult to get time to work on this (school stuffs) so even if I decide to go on with it, it might take a good while till something comes up.
Also, if there's someone with some experience in porting who'd be so kind to give me some pointers or show some availability to help with bug fixing/porting (not asking for labor, just explanations, in case I need 'em), please PM
Thanks, and sorry for the long post

i wouldnt even try to port, its just confusing, files missing, preloader updates which makes you think which one to use, its all really just a mess, you will have better chance of getting something if you build from source, just fork our device, kernel and vendor trees and download a custom rom source of your choosing and build it, i wont say step by step, but i recommend that to download the vendor, device and kernel sources you make the local_manifest.xml so that when you do repo sync it downloads those sources aswell

Ive been rooting and tinkering with various different android phones for years now . Motorola has always been my favourite when it comes to rooting . Now my question is now what? I would love to finally pitch in on development starting with this device seeing as there is very little on this one as far as custom roms and what not. This device reminds me of the G7 Power with the A/B format. I was looking in on possibly bringing Ubuntu Touch to this device and as far as i can tell I just would need to make a halium kernal for it . Can someone maybe help me or tell me how incan possibly help on makimg that happen? Please bare with me . This is my very first time posting on this website . Im very savy when it comes to the android, ios and computers in general , Im running the stock rom and have done very little besides install some root apps. I would love to help out with any kind of development so please someone let me know . Ill be regularly checking my notifications and messages . Cheers!
I'm not a programmer, but I'd love to have LineageOS on my device. I haven't had the opportunity to play with Ubuntu Touch, but I assume that the F-droid store alone surpasses the app development for the Ubuntu Touch. Have fun!
Im suprised more people arent all over this device like when the G7 came out ....this device is awesome and the battery life alone is enough reason to want to buy it ...Guanma FTW!!

What i found appealing about Ubuntu Touch is i recently read that you can now run android apps on it and i totally agree Lineage would be awesome and an obvious first step to take with this device now that we know it can be rooted...also TWRP development is a must
So far I'm really happy with it. The only thing is with how big it is, people with smaller/weaker hands are going to have a tough time. Good to know about Ubuntu Touch supporting android apps!
I too just got a G Play (2021), after spending the past 8 yrs. with my beloved HTC Ones (m7,m9). Ironically, it was Motorola that I left for HTC. I've been somewhat impressed with this phone's performance in stock bloat (I mean stock TRIM). I came in here today not expecting to see much, if anything, on this phone; but I've found enough info to get me started.
TY XDA, for all your hard work.

Ive been rooting and tinkering with various different android phones for years now . Motorola has always been my favourite when it comes to rooting . Now my question is now what? I would love to finally pitch in on development starting with this device seeing as there is very little on this one as far as custom roms and what not. This device reminds me of the G7 Power with the A/B format. I was looking in on possibly bringing Ubuntu Touch to this device and as far as i can tell I just would need to make a halium kernal for it . Can someone maybe help me or tell me how incan possibly help on makimg that happen? Please bare with me . This is my very first time posting on this website .
