One of the reasons CyanogenMod was so popular before its death was because it had an installer to make it quick and easy to install their ROM. I'm wondering if the source code for their installer is still out there somewhere? I certainly haven't been able to find it, but it was open-source, so there should be a Git or Gerrit project somewhere.
If anyone has a copy (of the source code, that is), or knows where to find one, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
I gitted the android source and I successfully built a zip using cyanogenmod 9's repo. However, I am curious to know where the kernel was being generated. I searched through the whole thing and I couldn't find the kernel source in the android source anywhere. Is this something that is pre-compiled and saved as a zImage? I really want to replace this zImage with my own compiled one but I am not sure how to merge the android source and the kernel source into one thing.
Thanks guys,
I know this is fairly noobish but whatevs...
nevermind...Found it in device/htc folder...
So a bunch of friends and I want to try to write a custom ROM from AOSP for Galaxy Nexus (toro). One thing we were thinking about was syncing all our code via github.
We will create our own repo so that we can make sure all our code is in sync.
One thing we looked at was github.com/android
Should we just fork all the repo's from the github.com/android page? We understand that it doesn't make sense to download everything from AOSP and upload via github.
Any help clarifying if we should fork or mirror repo's and what repo's specifically so we can get started.

Forking would be the polite thing to do because then the other developer's changes would be logged and tracked in your code. As too which ones that totally depends on what you are wanting to change. I would however suggest just forking the ones you plan on modifying and syncing the rest from the AOSP Github.
You don't always have to "fork" in the traditional sense. As long as you keep the previous commits it will be good taste. If you are only working on a jellybean rom, you can create a repo on github. Clone that repo. Then you can pull only the jellybean aosp branch into the one you created. You can do the same for every other project you add into your repo and before you know it, you saved a ton of bandwidth by only syncing one branch instead of tracking all branches. just my two cents.
So, I have this source for building CM11, for xpeira sp, huashan. We already have CM11 but, I desperately need HALO in CM. So I want to cherry-pick HALO to cm.
So I have start from the source. Here's what we have
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_huashan/
https://github.com/freexperia/android_device_sony_huashan
How do I start from here? I want to cherry-pick the HALO and build the rom, nothing else.
I've set up building environment in my current OS. So I guess I need to fork the repo from git to my pc, then cherry-pick the HALO and build...? Plus, in the source, there's a few folder that says no longer needed, so how I get rid of them, too?
You won't get any help here. Tried getting help here and not a single dev helped. Here we want to help each other but the ones with knowledge don't want to share with us who just want to build and have fun. I'm really sorry kid
Where would I obtain a copy of the aosp source code? I am looking for android 4.4.2. I have a copy of the phone source code that I'm attempting to compile, but I need the android source to merge together. Does anyone have Any tips or ideas? As any would be greatly appreciated.
Umm....I'm not exactly sure what you want but here's all AOSP source code- https://android.googlesource.com/
Cheers,

Thats perfect bud thank you. I was looking for a kernel and a few other things along the lines of sweetness, and this site had it: ).
My question is really simple: How can I make an unofficial port of LineageOS? I've read this, which is based on an article from the (now death) CM Wiki, but some files (e.g. the mkvendor.sh script) are in older CM repos/branches. According to what I've read, there's not a full guide explaining the porting process since every device has its own tweaks (I imagine that it's due to ARM's nature)
What I want to do: Port LineageOS (the latest version) to the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 Neo SM-G136ML (codenamed vivalto3mve3gltn). However there's not a LOS port at the latest version for a similar device which I could fork, so this would be "from scratch" in some way. I've seen Lineage's android repository at github but idk what are those xml files (they are definitively not the source code of a whole OS) EDIT: I realized that I had to clone it with `repo init`
What I've done so far: Documented myself as much as I could, read about how to get the vendor files, firmwares, kernel sources (in fact I requested the kernel source code for the device to the vendor), build.prop, recovery.fstab, and recovery/boot images.
My skills: I have a lot of experience with the GNU/Linux OS and I know some Linux kernel hacking, in fact I'm used to compile kernels for the x86_64, i686 and armv7h arch'es (not the vanilla kernel itself, but the Linux-libre kernel, which is basically vanilla but without binary blobs) and also patch them, and test them, etc. Besides kernel-stuff, I know shell scripting, advanced use of git (git clone, commit, add, push, remote, fetch, diff, apply, and more), use Heimdall, install custom recoveries and ROMs, and some advanced (non-noob ) Android hacking (Idk Java, C nor C++, however)
I know that here at XDA we've very talented developers who have experience with this, and much more. The only thing I need is some guidance to help me in my way to contribute the FLOSS community, I say this because when I asked in the LineageOS IRC channel if there was an official or well documented and updated guide, step-by-step, tutorial to port LOS that I could follow, someone answered me "it's impossible to have something like this", but I believe that there's ppl here who can demonstrate me the opposite
Thanks in advance
