They're made for them, but you can build other devices off them. Thats what all the phone manufacturers do, but they add their own stuff to the source.

I was going to do that but another respected dev told me not to!

Ive built a stock kernel for the avant ive even built a custom kernel but it breaks camera on stock rom

If you got the kernel built you should have no problem building a stock rom.

You should be able to without any problems. Once you get a stock ROM up and running you should be able to start working on cm11.

Good to know. I would've started sync by now, but my internet speed is at 300 kbp/s on a good day.

I've got I think 3 or 4 Mbps. [emoji14]

Goodness. I normally get 3 or 4 MB/s. Should I take care of aosp and u guys do cm since u already have it synced?

Your custom kernel shouldn't have broke anything unless your missing the drivers or something.

It don't matter. You're ahead of me cause you've got a working stock kernel. I'm still downloading sources.

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.

Im just curious, what's your pc specs??

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.

Not yet. Ive been sick all day and I have been waiting for cm11 to finish downloading while I take naps in between.

to make it easier on u i have already set up a kernel repo on github

I might just use your repos then. Have you built for cm11?

not yet. im fixing up the device tree due to since i based it off the grand 2 and im just switching files around and what not
Im just learning as i go what i do is mostly small mods to system files.

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

you're talking about this info?

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE console=null androidboot.console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x37
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 00000000

perfect. thats exactly what we need. Im surprised you haven't gotten a rom out of this yet.

aclegg2011 · Feb 21, 2015
