That don't help us. He he I've got the asop source downloading to my build box. Then I need to get the kernel to my github and figure out where the platform.zip files need to go.

There's some stuff that I need. Is there a firmware update that's zipped up available for this phone?
I just upgraded my build box. I have an amd a10-7850k 3.7ghz 4 core CPU, with 16 gigs of kingston hyper x memory. I also have a Samsung evo 250 ssd that should be here Monday. At the moment it takes one hour and 20 mins to build my g3 ROMs from a complete clean state.

There was a zip, the slim rom. But I guess the dev took it down.
And hearing your specs discouraged me from building roms. I have a dual core 2.33 ghz Intel processor. 6gb ram. A Hitachi 300 gb hdd...

I used to build on my 2006 imac. It has a 2.16 duo core cpu, with 8gbs of memory and a 250gb owc ssd drive. Took about 6 hours to build from clean. It can be done. You'll just need patience.

I've built roms before. Multiple times, but the device I built for had only me. Seeing as u have more experience and a better pc than me. I think I'm gonna drop.

do you know where I can get my hands on this slim rom for the advant? That'd help us out a lot. I can tear apart that rom and figure out how to get things setup better.

Once we get something going you can help build other roms besides cm and asop.

Yeah, think aclegg2011 below could share their machines too? [emoji14] Ugh, only techie in my group of friends (with the exception of two others who have BEASTS of machines) - and I have generalisticly the lease powerful. Oh well, at lease you learn about low overhead.

Did you unpack the firmware boot.bin to get the info you need for boardconfig.mk?

most of the info i grabbed it off twrp from shabby. Do you think i should split the device tree into 2 repo one as afyonltetmo and another one as afyonltetmo-common.
you're talking about this info?

For some reason I had problems getting asop to download. So I started downloading cm11 instead.
