Root Android L from source

[bludot]

Apparently LG offers the source for android L for the MS395 device. I got that and cannot figure out how im supposed to build it. According to their readme there should be a option for e2nam in lunch. there isnt one. What am I doing wrong?

btw: http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?curPage=2&m=Mc001&s=

Their instruction is waaaaaay to simple (3 lines of instruction lol.. pppfffttt!... ).
As far as I know you have to download AOSP Android L source from Google then merge Google source and LG source together to build e2nam ROM.

But even so there are multiple different Android L versions... I am trying different build guides and see if any will work.


For the Kernel I was able to compile and create Zimage file but it has an error and won't boot. I sent a question to LG Open Source and see if they can provide some useful info.

Well I seem to not be merging right or something. I copy the contents of "android" to my "WORKINGDIRECTORY" right?

LG took down the v20a source, anyone have a copy of the original tar file?

I do but I will upload it later. I'm working on merging it into a newer branch here's what I got so far need to import mainly the power and video changes from LG https://github.com/TeamRegular/android_kernel_lge_e2nxx/commits/cm-12.1

Wow I asked LG about trouble shooting on that kernel/ROM. Instead of giving reply they decided to took it down completely?

Not sure if they uploaded bugged source or just don't want to deal with the customer....??
