Root [Merit] Cyanogen Mod for the Straight Talk Merit?

I have a source as well, but I don't have the right toolchain and I'm working on a number of other projects. I'm hesitant to release anything I haven't tested myself, so I'm not really in a position to release kernels as it is.

you apparently don't have source then...

if you have the source, you can build it. you don't need a special toolchain because it's included in the repo. so you apparently don't have the repo.

i've personally built CM7 for our phones and it won't work because some of the CM specific apps won't load which causes a boot loop.

also there are some incompatibilities in how the whole /system directory is set up that make certain things not function like they should. i could fix it all but it's not worth the time because it's crap. but i've built it and can get it to boot when about 5 apps are removed from it...

CM is garbage anyway. you can build any of the apps and customizations you want if you download the repo..

you can also build kernels with the repo too--just get our freely available source and start editing.

but you actually have to have the repo and run ". build/envsetup.sh" and then "make" and letting all the tools compile--it took a few hours for me in a VM with only 1GB or RAM allocated to it. after this you can do anything practically, as long as you know all the options and switches involved in using tools should you use them without using the repo...
 
I have the kernel source, not CM. I know CM doesn't need a toolchain. For the ZTE kernel source I have, only an endian toolchain will work, and my current one doesn't have it.

download the Cyanogen Gingerbread repo and build it. then you will have all you need to build kernel. trust me. i've done it. it properly builds the modules too. you can also download other kernel sources to use with it.

there are a few minor changes that have to be made to completely recompile our kernel source into a working zimage, but it's minimal. only editing some lines of of a few .mk files.

i can give you all need to get the dependencies as well on an Ubuntu 10.10 system. if you need any help let me know.
 
It's all being compressed... And as for the dependancies, I may need a final sync to pull everything together but the bulk is there.

I might have one around.

I switched recently (2-4 months ago?) to another toolchain, but I may still have the stuff for endian.

Let me get back to you.

I'll let you know at the other "alien" place
 
I have CM7 and CM9 booting, Stayboogy's doesn't want to run the graphics though for some reason.

CM7 (and AOSP) boot fully but have a sleep of death bug in the kernel (GPU stuff), as well as broken radios.

CM9 is a long ways off.

I see. Oh well. I've never actually got to use a Cyanogenmod before, so I really don't know what I'm missing anyway. :)
