Information Sharing - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Any chance people could actually share the technical details of creating custom boot.img. I'm sure people like having a quick "one-click" solution for recovery/ custom kernels, etc... But a good deal of us would like to know how to roll our own.
Can someone provide a brief rundown on how to create a working boot.img?

I think @Bin4ry is already working on some cool things for us. like this morning he mentioned that he would be creating a custom recovery for us. and i hope a easy root method too! but he is fantastic when it comes to answering your question

Looking forward to!

But that's my point, just releasing binaries isn't helpful for educating the wider community. I guess I'll just have to look into it myself.

The reason why I and bin4ry etc haven'tshared the info to everyone is because the more experienced devs will now how to compile it with the little info we posted.
Also the dt.img is kernel dependant etc, so we don't want just everyone to make faulty kernels or do something wrong.

I'm sorry, I can't provide you with one. I can give you some advice though...
Just download a Sammy based ROM and extract the sPlanner.apk. Or write a more detailed post about what you want to do with it. I think people need to take the effort of doing the extraction for you, and for that you need to show them some effort... at least let them know what you are doing with the file.
Amen to that..

AOSP KitKat Coming Soon

AOSP KitKat Will Come To XZU Soon
Hope DoomLord Will Get An Z Ultra Soon
Nice, can't wait!
It was easily ported from nexus 5 to 4.
I would settle for a straight aosp build without the extras!
Been hearing good things about 4.4.

Please post some kind of link where is stated that kitkat comes to our device because every one can shout anything.

KitKat can come to any device as long as someone is working on the kernel and proprietary files. We have Kali here so I'm guessing that's a good sign that it's coming.

Why are you not sure? I'm 100% sure that AOSP 4.4 will come to the Z Ultra. And a trusted developer has been quoted as saying he is working on it at the moment.

Could someone use the kernel and propriety drivers from the current builds of 4.3 or are new ones needed?

You are aware that we're talking about the AOSP version and NOT Sony's right? Devs are saying that they're working on Kit Kat as we speak. What's the problem? Should we get @krabappel2548 in here so he can confirm that he's working on it?

I will have to respectfully disagree.There is an attachment on the original post which shows krabappel2548 saying he will bring it to the ultra. From that I pulled up the other links. So the OP didn't claim something without further info, or at least not that couldn't have been followed up if you had an interest in the topic.

Anytime there is a new source / base, then dev's need to start a tree from scratch. It takes a huge amount of time. So don't expect a release soon..
I just started a fully new device tree and running a first compile of 4.4 kitkat with the 4.3cm kernel.
Anyway I'm expecting some errors to pop up with caf and qcom.hardware maybe. I'll keep.you guys posted here and also in Z1 kitkat in.november thread
You can also check my site, important news will appear there too
I can't give any ETA since kitkat is brand new + we didn't had an AOSP device tree from 4.3 to start from. Just keep your fingers crossed and check XDA for updates

Yes,, so what is your point, that my comment is unreasonable? Maybe I have misunderstood what you were trying to say?
I don't know, but this is what XDA says: Welcome to the OnePlus One development forum. This forum will allow you to find root methods, third party ROMs, kernels, and other mods for your OnePlus One.
So, I have found a ROM / OS / MOD for my OnePlus One. Most ROM threads are in the dev section, and contain this information. The isea of the forum being to share information. I believe my comment is reasonable and would benefit the community (comments about using this OS on a OnePlus).

Dev threads are meant for WIP projects, they usually don't have releases right away and are meant for devs to collaborate to make the project functional

No custom ROMs?

I've had an honor 7 for about a month now and i can't seem to find an actual custom ROM. Just "EMUI" based custom ROMs which is just the original ROM, but modded
Also possible to unlock bootloader so why aren't there any custom roms?
help
i miss stock
I think the main reason is that it's been very hard for devs to compile cm or aosp for the Kirin SOC. That coupled with issues with the kernel source code such as it being very different to other android sources have made it a real challenge for devs to do.
Not that it's impossible though, this will just take a long time with lots of effort.
