Hey Everyone,
This is my first post here on XDA. I've been around for a while and always try to read a lot before attempting anything so as not to break stuff; hence the reason for no posts so far. I appreciate all of the helpful information I find on these forums and it has been great for keeping my trusty Dinc running well and running the latest Android OS.
I have been busy with school, but finally have some time to sit down and bang out some Android development, leading me to my
Question/problem: I am attempting to build android from source to get up and running on being able to create my own ROMs or help contribute to others and I've run into a problem. I'm stuck in a boot-loop during the CM9 boot animation. I have a logcat dump during the boot that shows the errors and the cycle of it trying again and again, but I'm not sure where to go next.
Background:
I have been running drk.hd's CM9 ROM for the last month or so (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558923) and I have enjoyed it. It works very well. He has build instructions posted on his github here: https://github.com/drkhd/android_device_htc_inc. I have followed those steps exactly as posted, which all work as expected. I have not run into any build/compile errors, but after flashing the zip file, I end up in the boot-loop.
Logcat:
I pasted the logcat here: http://pastebin.com/wVVbmeRY
The last ~400 lines just repeat until killing the logcat. I can see errors about media services dying and a fatal signal 11, but again, I'm not sure what to do with this information.
Any help is much appreciated. I know this should really be in the dev forum, but as I mentioned, this is my first post; I don't have 10 posts yet, so I cannot post in the dev forum until that point. I am really just starting to dig into this stuff, so go easy on me and help guide me in the right direction so I can take things and run with them. Once I get a feel for how best to approach android development, I should be able to pick it up pretty easily.
Thanks
I know this thread should really be in the dev forum, but if any of you have any suggestions or can at least point me in the right direction for where to look for answers, that would be great.
Thanks again

This is the right forum. Development threads are meant to be for ROM and other development support, Q&A is where I would ask about this too but I guess the other devs either aren't around or don't know how to answer your question. cmlusco is a dev of touch of blue and he lingers around Q&A a lot so maybe if he comes across this he can give you some insight. I would really like to get into building ROMs as well but I don't have any experience in coding just yet. I don't really know what kind of experience is required to build ROMs either and my only Ubuntu machine is 32-bit so I am essentially out of the race for now. That being said, I found this guide that I was going to use for my own building ventures until I realized I needed a 64-bit machine but maybe it can help you or maybe the support can give you a little direction. I hope this helps!!

I would love to help but i have no clue how to build from source. All i know how to do is take stock roms and modify and tweak them. I do not have a linux setup, i use win 7 with cygwin and android kitchen. Android kitchen does a lot of the work for you. Apktool is another great windows program for decompiling and recompiling apks. It just takes time to tweak and modify everything. Google and xda are your best friends, you can find the answer to just about anything you want.

I have sync Evervolv source code and I'll make this days
Thank you guys for your responses. I appreciate you taking the time.
nschiwy, I'm still working my way through the thread you provided, hopefully something there will help.
Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to take the Dialer apk out of the 4.4 kitkat release and make it useable in the S3. Yes, I have tried exdialer, but it doesn't do the exact same thing as the actual dialer would do.
If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Try it out and let us know. Worste case you restore to a backup you make before hand right?
I'd imagine it might work, if not the source of the dialer may need tweeking, changing the rom to work with the dialer might break other things (just a guess).
Still, try it out, it may not have been targeted to older versions of Android so maybe rebuilding it from source in eclipse to target older version like 4.1.2 and see if it compiles without error, error would just point you to what needs to be fixed on the surface, then try to compile it for 4.1.2 again and keep testing, that would be what I would do if I was interested in it. If the source isn't available for that app, maybe try decompiling it, but I have only read a little about that so I am not able to give any advice as to what decompiled code might look like.
Good luck.

Did you ever figure this out? Apparently the dialer with business search is in the Nexus 4 OTA.
The ROM I use has some kitkat apps running see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47077105&highlight=kitkat#post47077105
So they may work.
Always backup first though!
I would love to begin working on cm11 for the VS985! I have some android experience and used to be active here as Backwards1979 but I am completely locked out of that account. I used to work with visableck on the Samsung Galaxy stellar.
I just need to know where to begin to port the cm11 to VS985. Any help or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

It's already been ported to the VS985 man. Posted yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-vs985-t2934822
Great to see another dev on here for the VS985 though! If you ever need help with anything let me know. I'm pretty Android and Linux proficient and I'm not afraid to do some low-level modifications to my precious G3! Adb work and leveling LAF to do fastboot work is no problem and I've even had success compiling images from source and making slight modifications to allow porting to similar variants. I'll be glad to test anything you need as well! Best of luck!
Thank you! I have been looking since bump hit and I have not been able to find it!
That includes last night and today... I don't want anyone to think that I just wanted a handout and haven't done any of my research.
Hi guys, I'm a new one here at the N7 forum, so I was wondering if have a chance of porting remix OS to the N7?? Some Dev want to try?? well I'm studying software engineering and maybe this can be a project, let me know what you guys think
PS: sorry about my English, still studying it[emoji14]

I gave my hand at attempting to port it when it came out but I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong as I could get the ROM to boot up to the boot animation, but the OS itself would not start the UI. I used some of the tutorials on here to attempt porting, but most of the tutorials are for 4.1 and below, so I'm not sure if I was missing something like SELinux contexts on files or something. That said, if you can get further porting it I'd be happy to test, been using PhoenixOS but would love to try RemixOS on my tablet.

Well i will talk with some friends at the uni and see if someone wants to help me with this, any progress i will post, but for now it's just a idea, thanks for the input D :good:
So I know very little about kernels and have been trying teach myself. I would really love to try the white wolf Kernel but before I started asking questions in that thread I would like to take a step back and find out if that is possible to use. I've been trying hard to read all the threads to figure out what image i want to use and what kernel I would like to try. I know everyone raves about Franco's which I would like to try but also would like to keep my options open.
Thanks all!
No, your phone will freak **** if you flash a LOS kernel while on OOS. Operating systems have specific commands that they give to the kernel, the commands are different between OOS and LOS. If you do so, your phone will likely not even be able to boot.
Thanks, I kind of thought that already but wasn't 100% certain and couldn't find anything that said what you said specifically. Thank you for taking the time to explain!
Nope never do this.. Its asking for problems . Keep custom roms and oxygenos seperated.
