Root CM13 building device tree and sources help needed.

Okay so i have a general idea of how to do this, i can repo init, and sync, download sources and all. What i need a great deal of help with is figuring out how to either make or update code to build it for t599n, and all.
 
In my little knowledge first you need to adapt the device tree to build cm, when that is ready you need the required patches to build to our device and adapt all the old code to marhmallow, I think maybe we should wait for maclaw (cm13 developer for s3 mini) update his sources and try to adapt his code to our device
 
I would truly love to, and they have it for s3 mini so i dont know how to port the code though. I understand @haroldJ99 about waiting. I only would like to start something. Can someone help with me starting to build cm12.1 for now. I know i have the repo initiated properely. Can you help me with this though. I have the manifest for carbon-l, and the carbon kk one on his old github. Can i use the manifest for carbon-l with cm12.1 though
 
You know, they've got the rear camera video recording fix for lollipop on the s3mini too...

Ok, so you want to build from source.... Well, first let me say that I would not use the manifest for carbon-l... Who knows if that will work. Just clone the repo and switch to the carbon-l branch and if you are going to try to build MM, I would start with the carbon-l branch. As you may or may not know there are a set of patches that need to be applied before you build. They are in the device tree (patches dir). I even put a "patch.sh" script in there that will patch the directory for you but it is likely that one or more of the patches will fail because of updates to the base source for android or CM. As a developer, it's up to you to figure out what the patch was supposed to do and, understand the way the the base source has changed and adapt the patch accordingly. Golden-Guy maintains a set of patches for Omni-Rom for the s3mini. The s3mini and the t599n share the EXACT same patches but he has not started on MM.

Make sure you setup your development environment for Exactly which version of android you intent to build. There are different considerations for KitKat Lollipop and MM. If I still had this device I would give building MM a try but without the device there is no way to test and developing blind is like trying to put together a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle with your eyes closed.

If you have any more "specific" questions don't email me! Just leave them here and I'll get to them when I can...
;)
 
Possibly, however if miticulus decides to build MM id assit to help him test since i do alot of testing on my device
 
Sorry i wasnt watching the thread, My second ssd in my laptop literally just failed this morning. So no way as of right now to build. Can i somehow take the fixes for the golden and put them into a port?

Click to expand...

I really don't know. There may or may not be differences, in what has been patched, in Omni to other ROMs and we don't have a build of Omni lollipop...
