I have a requirement that I need to build FFF from source. I have located what I believe is the GitHub Repo /KFire-Android/kf_u-boot, and I was wondering if anybody might be able to tell me what I need to do to build the bin file (I am planning to replace the reference to fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin with my custom built version to install) . I am in a Windows Environment, but I expect that I will need to install Linux to make this work. Any pointers on the easiest way to go about this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello All,
This may be in the wrong place so if it is, I am sorry, anyway to my question I'm trying to build CM for my S4 Mini LTE Serranoltexx everything was going fine until I got this message after running extract-files.sh
Code:
Extracting /system/lib/egl/libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so ...
remote object '/system/lib/egl/libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so' does not exist
Now after adding "libGLESv2S3D_adreno200.so" (if you search Google for it it's the top github link) I managed to get it to build the actual .zip and it does flash properly but it doesn't seem to have the correct graphics drivers (I thought this process wouldn't work and I was right), the guide on the how to build it doesn't help with this problem either so any help would be extremely appreciated
I've attached the logcat for reference (if it's needed) as a .docx file as the .txt file was 1.1mb and because I don't have a pro account on pastebin.
The problem with newer Android versions is that if often require new libraries which are not available in stock rom, so the extract method is actually not very useful unless we have a stock rom of the same version we are building for. To bypass this issue we use libraries from other phones that have the matching Android version. I suggest using the blobs that's on TheMuppets github, as those are up to date.

Can somebody explain me the proper way to build the boot image? I'm able to build a pure kernel image but i'ts now what i need to flash into boot partition.
Eh that's a bit complicated, the kindled booting is a uniqueish format. Hashcode made a custom make setup in cm's build system to put it together since it not only has a weird signature but a second bootloader added onto the beginning of it as well. Are you compiling a rom or just trying to rebuild the bootimg?

Yeah, I've tried to figure out from the CM port how it's built. I've found some code here:
https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/blob/cm-11.0/boot.mk
But I can't figure out how to attach a kernel image, ramdisk, what else.
I'm not building rom, just want to change some features in the stock kernel.
I could attempt to throw one together for you, I think my current setup doesn't bother to check the intramfs as long as it exists in the out directory, I'd just have to replace the kernel and initramfs and attempt a build. O wait I'm in the 8.9" section, I don't have a working build of b2g going for that yet, probably wouldn't be the best idea, would probably work but Idk. You could just build cm from source and pull the bootimg out of the zip it makes. Maybe I can slap together some instructions, I kinda see in the makefile how it works but makefile scripting isn't my forte, its similar to bash but different enough i can get confused at points.

Building the whole cm is a bit overhead. I don't need the complete build script but it would be great if you point out some makefiles, or places to look in the source tree, i'll try to fugure out how to use it.
So anyone?

ah sorry i have been at work most of the week and passing out once i get home (thank you low stamina). Anyways i thought i had posted something on here about where to look but it seems i didnt, look at this file: https://github.com/KFire-Android/android_device_amazon_jem/blob/cm-11.0/boot.mk#L27
That area (line27ish) should give you the hints you need.
Edit: wait this is a 8.9, wrong link, that would be a nice brick if that was used... Fixed!
most of that file makes sense, the only thing i am unfamiliar with is [email protected] $ usually means a variable or something else i'm trying to rember involving a program, probably storing output from a program as the variable. As to the @ symbol i have heard it means array, not very sure at all about how it works.
Hey XDA!
I've been trying to learn to compile AOSP so I can customize ROM's from scratch instead of having to steal someone else's compile and make modifications from there. I definitely don't want to take the work of others and back track to make changes.
I've got a Nexus 7 2013 LTE and I've setup a Linux build environment. I've installed the correct packages, followed all the instructions on the AOSP site, and downloaded the proprietary binaries (both the current 4.4.4 and preview binaries) to try and create a AOSP Lollipop 5.0.2_r1 build. I know there are ones out there that are working almost flawlessly, but I can't seem to get it to boot. My file sizes for system.img and all other packages are the same after compiling, I "make clobber" once executing the shell scripts to create the vendor folder in my source root, and I see the vendor files being processed during the build, but once the package (both ota and manually built attepts) are fastboot loaded, I get a boot loop, and I'm not sure why, it instantly hangs and reboots as soon as the "ANDROID" screen appears.
If anyone can give me any guidance, I want to start building ROMs for the community, but I just can't seem to get a bootable build to compile.
I may have missed some details, so if anyone can help me with figuring this one out, feel free to PM me, or leave a note on this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
Amazon release source code as is required by GPL. That is great but to reproduce a binary needs compiler information.
All the stuff I find here on modifying these devices seems to be based on downloading someone else's binaries and hoping they are clean and actually relate to the OS version I have. This info does not always seem to be provided.
If I want to build busybox and su using gcc and copy them across using adb , where can I find the required build info ?
I guess guys here building ROMs must be doing this.
Thanks.
Hey xdas,
i just received my new Samsung Galaxy z Fold 4
SAOMC_SM-F936B_OXM_EUX_12_0045 EUX /-/EUX/EUX
Kernel : 5.10.81-afaneh92-gd8d6af751972 (flashed for twrp)
I would like to install nethunter on the device with a working kernel
I tired my best to understand the docu on kali but its not the best
i am also new to compiling kernels at that level so maybe someone can help here
I attached as much as i could
So the steps i took so far is
Unlocked Bootloader
installed the twrp ( like descriped here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-z-fold4-snapdragon.4498743/ )
installed magisk
Then for nethunter
(https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/)
i downloaded the kernel source :
https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=SM-F936 (my device is EUX see infos for device above)
downloaded the proper=? toolchain , there is an readme_kernel inside the kernel_source with a link to the toolchain , i am unsure about this
https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=toolchain
there are two options i took the S22(Exynos) file ( hope thats right ?)
now we come to the difficult part :-(
first i tried to compile via the instructions on kali docs
unpack the kernel file i did and there a subfolders so i decided to use the subfolder common as the root mentioned in the docs:
you can begin by cloning our kernel builder to the root of your kernel’s folder, and prepare the environment:
from common folder i did git clone https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-kernel
cd kali-nethunter-kernel
I did not change the configs as i am new to that so i know there are some exports inside the build config inside the kernel file but i dont know how get them together
./build.sh
S. Setup Environment and download toolchains.
2. Configure & compile kernel from scratch
It found the devconfig so i took it as mentioned in the docs (Select your device’s defconfig, then save and exit to start the building process.)
did not edit the kernel config till jet
and ran into the error attached in the error txt
I would like to understand how i can build the kernel the normal way , without the nethunter tool
and maybe someone could help to make this working with nethunter that would be great !
i want to understand the process and i am willing to help , so i am not asking for a final kernel , more for the way to go in general to also give the community a benefit for the next new kernel we want to port
as mentioned the docs are not the best !
thanks for your time
@yesimxev / @V3rB0se / @afaneh92 need some help here
Which toolchain to you use in nethunter kernel builder? I'd recommend clang-12.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/+archive/refs/tags/android-12.0.0_r12/clang-r416183b1.tar.gz
Download, extract somewhere and add it's path to kali-nethunter-kernel/config (clang-10 is the default). no need for setup environment again.
Any luck with this? i am in the same situation trying to build a nethunter kernel for my zfold4

Great research bro , same as here.
Difference is I am doing it for M21 .
And to flash the kernel I need to do port twrp for vA12 M21 too.
Great respect bro.
Anyone can help with kernel? u need AR9271 and rtl8188EUS drivers on ysl Android 9

Will do, thanks... You know I was looking through the process and missed that line... I suppose next time I should take more time and look more carefully

Great, I'll add to the setup env script so it won't be missed. It shouldn't happen in the first place though
