Hello there forum users! This thread was created with the sole purpose of helping me (and others) find out how to build ROMs for unsupported devices.
Basically, I've built AOKP from source, but the device I was building for was already supported. What I'm trying to do now if build Dirty Unicorns 4.2.2 for my device, which is not supported by the ROM. From what I've read, I've already forked the "vendor_du", "
android_device_samsung_vibrantmtd", "vendor_samsung", "proprietary_vendor_samsung", "android_hardware_samsung", "android_packages_apps_SamsungServiceMode", and "android_build".
How do I build the ROM for the Samsung Vibrant T959, when it is not supported. If someone has miraculously found a post that I have missed, I would appreciate it very much. Additionally, a list of commands and explanations would greatly assist me. I'm pretty new to the whole Android building thing so I thank you all for help!
Ain't nobody is going to help you ^^ I am looking for that kind of knowledge too. I would like to start building roms from source and make some modifications to CM10's kernel
check out Legion modz team thread
it has a little info on it

Im starting to learn to build from source. Theres many tutorials on how to get started. Ill post links when I get to my pc later. First I would get the source code for kernel on samsung. If not available get stock rom to dump required files aswell as other files needed. I dont know if this will guide you in the right direction. Just keep in mind and always remember the kernel hardware devices is different then the operating system. You juz need to learn google how to merge the to.

Heres some starting links that im using starting to build from source. the samsung open source page look for your model number http://opensource.samsung.com. Obviously. you can build your own kernel.
how to unpack repack img http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081239
http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/index.html very useful link aswell as this one http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html.
heres a link to identify partition tables http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959445. . Heres another link that you prolly can pull files from if needed http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...kp-build-6-android-422-jelly-bean-custom-rom/
Dont take this the wrong way but i think your getting confused how roms kernels etc r built its all open source. That rom is based off of jelly bean and alls they did was change the name. Though its open source so i would assume you can repo the rom at https://github.com/. In addition if i was you i would download the rom "which you prolly already have and do some investigating.. heres another useful link http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code. Never forget google is your best friend. Fogot to mention if you aint on linux i would switch os real soon. I think this link will be ver ver very helpful https://bitbucket.org/bigwillyg/buttered_toast_shooter
Is that Vibrant T-Mobile ? cuz if it is http://aokp.co/devices/vibrantmtd theres your starting point
Hi,
I would like to test Android 5/Lollipop on my Huawei MediaPad T1 10 but haven't found so much info on ROMs to this tablet.
Any experiences on well working Lollipop ROMs?
Anyone?
I have searched too but without luck. I would be very greatful if there was a solution to install any CM based custom rom or stock ASOP.
I second this!
Anyone, who tried it or likes to do it and post his results?
I am also.. Anyone know how to root this tablet?

If you have the same tablet as me, Mediapad T1 10 (T1-A21W), you can easily root it with King Root.
I am also looking for information about this tablet (recovery, roms, etc) and don´t find anything. Anyone has found some development of this tablet?
I am also searching for an Lolipop Rom for this Tablet. Is it possible to install that at this Tablet?
I have been searching far and wide but it seems there is no one interested in developing anything for this pad, very much including Huawei itself. This will be my last Huawei device ever.
No custom ROMs for MediaPad T1 8.0

Where did you get the TWRP??? I was trying to compile one and then try to do development for this device. It would be very useful if you send me a link for the TWRP recovery. Then i could try to develop for this tablet.

I've been trying to bring development to this tablet quite months ago but i keep struggling with the kernel source which gives me a lot of errors when trying to compile. That is the main problem that is not letting me to build for example a LineageOS 14.1 (7.1.1 ROM).
For example i think i have a solid device tree and vendor blobs to work with our tablet but the only problem is the kernel source.
About the recovery, I've ported a couple ones that boot and work. One of them is a TWRP 2.X recovery that can flash, make backups, restore and all that stuffs but the touchscreen responses weird when trying to interact with it.
The other recovery is a Phil Touch recovery, which is based on the deprecated CWM recovery. This one works without any problem but is deprecated and it won't probably be capable to flash 5.X and newer android versions, so i don't have much interest on it.
Also i tried to compile a TWRP recovery from source but again the problem is the kernel source.
Anyone who owns this tablet or want to help with this project that has a minimal experience with android development would be great if can cooperate with me to fix the issues and finally have a solid base to bring development for our device, because this device has a great potential for development and it would be sad to not be capable enjoy it.
For anyone interested:
I opened a thread for the Philz Touch custom recovery for our tablet that i ported some time ago: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-mediapad/development/recovery-unofficial-philz-touch-6-59-0-t3584383[/URL]

Any luck? I'm in need of this myself.
Me, too! (+1)
Please, will someone with a proper kit dump the ROM? I, uh... over-rooted mine. But all is not lost! I still can get to recovery mode and it has flashing options! (With device in OFF state, hold VOL. UP + POWER + HOME. Navigate to RECOVERY MODE with VOL. UP, then VOL. DN to select. The green "sick Android" logo with a "!" appears. Press VOL. UP + POWER for approx. 5 seconds, then release both simultaneously. This should display all the recovery options.) We would be eternally grateful, and I promise lots of :good:'s! Because really, let's be honest: we're all here because we want one of those nifty "SENIOR MEMBER" badges. When I get one, I'm gonna have it tatooed on my arm. (Everyone knows chicks dig rooting skills.) In the meantime, I'll be trying to learn how to compile the source code from the link another member posted above...
Hey you guys... Really need this too... any progress?
Any news???
i have it but? how do y get it out of the phone
help do that and there y will have it
thanks mark
I'm a little concerned with the compile effort after carefully reading ZTE's Open-Source policies... It seems the "ROM" download for the Z820 found on their website contains only the open-source portions of the firmware. Not only am I having difficulty getting a "good" download with my backwoods Internet connection (3 attempts-all bad,) I'm afraid after compiling that I'll only have a partial OS ROM. Does anyone skilled (read: not a junior member like me) know if there's proprietary first or third party code in most OEM stock ROM's? If so, would those portions be available online to download and place in the proper partitions? ZTE's very specific wording spooked me... I mean, I ain't scared to give 'er a go as-is, but I'm curious. The thing's just collecting dust now...

Now I'm curious. I might have the ability to grab this little device. Let me have a look at the source code first, get my bearings, and I'll see what I can find. I've got a lot going on, so I might need a reminder or two... Hope you guys like android forums though, that's where I tend to linger
---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------
Right, so I just found the sources. Downloading both the TMO and MPCS sources and will diff them tomorrow. That being said; they have only released the kernel source. Which is AMAZING considering, but not everything for a ROM. With this, I could make a custom ROM, figure out root (bootloader is covered luckily), and more! What I'm saying is; I'll give it a shot. I'll update this thread with developments as they come
I need this also!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! LOL THANK YOU!

Just to keep you guys informed; I tried downloading both of the sources and couldn't get their tar.gz to extract completely in Linux - meaning we're totally stuck and that's it.
Kidding.
E-mailed the guys over there and after a few days they finally got back to me letting me know the site was down for maintenance and to try again in a few days. Doesn't sound too promising, sure, but at least we know that we don't have to post a formal legal request like the guys over at the Fire Phone threads had to do. I'll get that source for ya.

FYI I already have a CWM Recovery compiled and ready to go for this device however thanks to Securelock and the 101 error any attempts at flashing via dd and no access to fastboot (tried zero'ing out the recovery partition to try to force bootloader) there is no way currently to flash to the device... I've already got a CM 12.1 build ported over also... Gonna work on a custom kernel next but only if we can get past this Securelock issue
I may be a junior member but trust I am a seasoned developer and have worked on roms such as the CM 10 port for the LG Optimus and F3 / F6.
BBQ Linux all the way!

We're fortunate to have your expertise, zerolath! That's why I love XDA! This thing's driving me nuts! It's the only 64-bit device I have until my Raspberry Pi 3 arrives, and I hate that I was careless and didn't back it up first! Rookie error. But I have learned: my LG Leon is backed up and well rooted! I had the same issue as crutchcorn did with the kernel source code DL. Got a unexpected zero bit at #### error with multiple DL's. I'm not experienced enough to attempt flashing just the kernel anyway. I hope there's a way around the SecureLock protection!
Back-up EVERYTHING. Compulsively! ?

Aye mate. XDA and programmer centric forums and such are pretty snazzy. Great place for people of all walks of life to learn, laugh, and grow.
I hope you can solve this... I too have this phone bricked at home, after flashing official update from ZTE...
Thank you so much for helping us!
Redmi note 3 ROM Uploaders please read!
I have been flashing stock roms for a few years now and I have noticed with this device that many of the uploaders are not providing all the details just some of the following:
Detailed description
Is bootloader to be unlocked first
Is a custom recovery needed
Full instructions on how to install
Screenshots
bug list
Which Gapps package to use
Please provide all (the above) the neccessary information so we can make the decision is this ROM good for us to flash on our phones.
There needs to be a template for ROM postings so it can be easy for the end users. (Forum moderators will know the formula so I ask ye guys to sticky a template)
Thank you (ordered mine 3 days ago come on gearbest I wants my precioussss)

First thing, its not stock rom, its custom rom.
Second, the developers are not being paid, and thus whatever thay are doing, just accept it and ask for help, not post post like this to command them to list things that are obviously common sense.
1. CM13 Nightly, this 2 words give enough description, what more do you need. In this time, if you don't know what cm13 is then don't buy an android. Nightly means that there are still bugs, both minor and major, and sometimes it means that there are some things broken too. The devs also list whats working or whats not. They can't list every single thing.
2. You are flashing custom rom, thus you must have custom recovery like twrp, in order to install it you must first unlock your bootloader. If you have custom recovery, then it doesn't matter whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
3. Did you really just asked if custom recovery is needed, are you a fool or what. Let me make this clear, if you want to flash a rom, how are you supports to so without a custom recovery. Stock recovery can't flash rom, neither it can make backup, restore backup and lots of things. The most basic thing to do even before rooting is to flash a custom recovery. Without custom recovery you can't even properly root. Well you can root with some apps, but custom recovery makes it easier, just download supersu and flash it with recovery.
4. Whats there to know. If you have custom recovery, then first create a backup. Almost every thread that i have ever read on xda, it is stated every where to always make a backup before doing anything, even rooting. Then, wipe data cache dalvik system, and then flash the zip file. After that if you wish flash the gapps.
5. What do you need screenshot for. Haven't you ever saw CM13 or ressurection remix. Just google it. they are not obliged to post it here for your convenience.
6. They do provide bugs, whats working or what not. And its not like they know a bug and haven't told other about it. They, in most cases don't know how many bugs there are, the other users tell them the bugs and they fix it.
7. Why would they tell you which gapps package to use. Do they work for google. Anyway, just google gapps, your rom version, ie cm12 or cm13, you mob architecture, arm64 or arm32 or whatever, and just download it. There is no geek stuff behind it that you can't do it yourself.
And finally, you are not paying them do anything, they are doing this because they like doing this. They are not even getting paid by this. So you ordering them to these things which you can do yourself after some googling and using your brain a bit, is just unjust. Just accept what they are doing, thank them, enjoy the rom, and report the bugs, etc etc, and have fun.

1. I know what CM is this is about description not quick copy and pastes from another website.
2. Some modified roms can be ran from the stock recovery.
3. You are a fool this is information for the end user I will slap you with a fresh wet fish!
4. Information is key.
5. Screenshots show people what they are flashing very helpful to the end user
6. They don't always bub!
7. Again inofrmation helps to clarify lot's of things.
Not all the guys that post are the actual devs THAT DO IT RIGHT, some are just bad copy paste jobs coz they wanna be cool n **** and don't Fu(&ing tell me not use andorid you little pretend dev snot! :victory:

If you are using a 32bit windows, then do you ask others which application to install, 32bit or 64bit. Man you are a joke, it's not information, its common sense. information is which partition is used for what purpose. How to restore imei. How to unlock lte band, not which gapps to flash. And there is no stock recovery out ther which flash custom roms. The only roms you can flash with stock recovery are ota.

So if you are not a noob then why are u asking for such things that are common sense. Nobody ask these things now. I just passed class 12 and i know most of the procedure for tweaking an android. I can even write partition table. You just have to search. Not post like this and expect the dev to post them too. Do a little bit more work to achieve something.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
That is all. I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them too not brick a device.

Coming from a Huawei g510 where i got my roms on Modaco, and The zenfone 2 here at xda the posts were well put togther with all the info needed , I have found quiet a few here with very little info and it's kinda lazy on the posters part.
I ain't a programmer (although i touched on some c++) but I ain't a noob, I just like details and not everyone is well informed and there a newbies to flashing roms it's to help them to not brick a device.
From what I see it's mostly non devs just copy paste guys who are doing it.
Does it hurt to have a small guide or at least the fundemntals of requrements for the installation of each rom?
Waiting on my redmi still order prcessing, hurry gearbest hurry I am back on my g510 as my asus went for a swim in my tiolet!

Nice idea, looks like there's no room for a newbie on XDA anumore (in remembrance of XDA 2012).
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
I am completely new to Android Engineering and want to learn it. Till now, I have tried building aosp oreo from repo. It is built successfully but I don't know about the use of all the folders that are downloaded by the repo. What is the use or importance of each folder in repo? Where can I learn more about this?
I have also modified my stock firmware (only removed some bloatware apps) and rebuilt the firmware. I haven't installed it yet. I used android kitchen which helped me with signing the zip but I am afraid the signature might be for testing and not the official vendor signature. I have phone with unlcoked bootloader but it's still on stock recovery. According to my knowledge, unlocking bootloader helps us to flash unofficial files but people at XDA say that we should also have custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. Should I flash the modified ROM built by me in device with stock ROM and unlocked bootloader?
My device doesn't have official TWRP support. How can I port recovery or build it from scratch for my phone?
Also, I have only modified stock ROM and need to learn porting ROMs like porting MIUI for my device. How can we port ROMs?
Sorry for asking all these at once but I tried getting answer one after another which confused me a lot. I am a noob in this field.
I read XDA thread of TWRP developer which included a guide on how to build TWRP for any device. But as the author said, that post wasn't for noobs. Maybe I need to learn a lot before I reach that level of understanding. But I don't know what to learn and from where. Please help..
And one last thing - What is a device tree? Or vendor tree? I saw these words many times when I was trying to understand the above things. But I still don't know what these are and Google doesn't help. Thank you everyone..
