Root [On Hold] JellyBean CM10.1

So the compile completed successfully but I got error 7 when flashing. I'm starting to think that we need a full device tree to get a full compile including a better mapping of the system partitions.

I think it needs to be re-fixed for your rom. I don't know how it was fixed in the first place but I know it was specific to my build.

Also, did you include a device.mk when building? That's what apparently caused the problems with no boot on my rom.
 
Hey guys i know i dont belong here but is anyone interested in making a port of this for the galaxy rush? I know the super stock rom has already been ported to the rush and maybe its possible for this rom adressing the fact that the phones are very similar. Thanks

Its been talked about. Just go back a page and read. This won't boot at all for them so it won't boot for us. There's errors when compiled.
 
I have an idea, what if instead of compiling a completely new rom, we simply took either super stock ICS, stock rom plus, or my ROM and then integrated the appropriate files into the phone...to do this you would have to set the sdk version to 16 instead of 15, in the build prop and reboot, then move the files over to app, framework, lib, etc. And then set the sdk back to 15 and reboot or maybe you could keep it at 16...then reboot, then make a cwm backup. Then you could go into cwm folder and rename the system.tar.a to system.tar and extract it so you have a system folder...You would also copy your boot.img because it will have been modified to fit the needs of the system...then compile the meta-inf and then 7zip it into a compressed zip...not sure, but I think it could work

I'm not sure if this would work, as I know a lot of the files are linked together when compiling everything. I mean, it's worth a shot, but I doubt it would work.

I think you got it right, there would likely be link errors, but there's no harm in trying
 
That's why I said we should try to copy the linked files over, I just don't know what they all are...I tried last night and when I booted I got it to load the boot animation which is farther than we had before. So I figured with a little more work we could get it

Gotcha, I have been busy the last few days i have that now and i'm slowly gonna start adding in the Galaxy plus changes to see if I can get this to boot from source with the prebuilt kernel. After that I'll see if I can make it build the kernel as well. When you worked on it what arch type did you get, I have it set as Armeabi-v7 in the device configs but when it starts building it switchs to armv5te.
 
Also if someone knows or can tell me how to find out the values for this, it would be awesome. I've tried /proc/mtd and i didnt get any info

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 13107

My device isn't rooted yet, so I can't check, but you should be able to find that, were you looking for it on your phone?

Yeah i adb pulled the MTD file and i also looked at it using shell and cat, its a blank file. I pulled some other files that look helpful but as i'm not sure what i'm looking at its not helpful to me.
 
GJust fyi bud, you have to compile the kernel separately from the source. You should compile a kernel build (or try at least) then build the platform and then just include the kernel you built.

I'm not an expert (or a developer) though but I have compiled the platform a few times for the rush and have never seen anything on compiling the the platform and kernel at the same time?

chessrock, it would be great if you jumped in on a project like this :-). I can't speak for the ROM dev but I'm sure he would welcome you!

Edit: I now know cm integrated kernel compilation while compiling the platform. Optional but better imo
 
Thank you for doing what I could not accomplish. I hope my little bit of work helped you somehow. I look forward to what you got! :-)
 
Wow, I feel like a real ass. I thought I was posting in the Galaxy Victory forum. I have that device in hand so decided to give it a shot. Honestly guys things have just kinda gotten out of hand with trying to support too many devices. But, since it was my mistake I'll make this group a deal. Two things: I just noticed my inbox with a request to fix CWMR. If I can get a tester to join me tomorrow night we'll get it done. Second, if this device is on JB I'll try for cm10 if not it'll have to be cm9 but I'll need some details from a working device. I have a buildbox now that cuts build times down a lot so upload is the biggest delay. if you can help leave me a message on irc.
