Ok, well I've been really holding out for the other CM ROMs but it seems like most of the devs are rather busy with life and other things, no blame in that.
One of the things I've been wanting to do for a while is build a ROM, and I figure now's the time! I got my build environment setup, I got the repo sync'd, though most of the tutorials I've seen have either used device files and blobs from previously packaged CM ROMs. I know there's a way to pull the device blobs and needed files from the actual device itself and there seems to be a few extract-files.sh files that'll pull it via ADB from the phone, but it seems like the list of phones with this script already built is rather slim and of course the Victory isn't one of them.
I'm going to try to adapt the following script as a guideline as to which device files I need to be pulling off the phone: https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/toro/+/ics-mr0/extract-files.sh
Once I get the blob files done, I believe it's onto the ramdisk, boot.img and recovery.img. Recovery don't have to worry about since that's mostly going to be TWRP on most devices right? Boot.img is probably where I'm going to get stuck at next I'm betting. Anything to expect as far as roadblocks to come with the build?
Any voices and input from other experienced devs are enthusiastically thanked :smokingsomb:
