I'm trying to build AOKP for the 5110 and I'm stuck after syncing the repo. How do I go about adding the proper device tree and actually beginning the build? The things have tried seem to work improperly and I just get lots of errors. If any dev out there wants to help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, 64kb.
Hello, I was wondering if anybody would be willing to provide detailed instructions for building TWRP for this device.
I tried to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
but it's feels complicated and looks more like few pointers... It gives link for TWRP sources and says what to change, nothing on where to find the actual files needed for changing.
I would be really thankful for a more indepth tutorial, thanks.
I was also wondering why the sources from omnirom 5.1 are used instead of omnirom 6.0 sources like here

hello,
I've noticed that there is a guide for building CM14 for the oneplus 3. Myself and others have been able to use it to make personal builds and to learn some things along the way.
I would imagine that the next step to progress to would be to make builds of ROMs that don't have a nougat/CM14 branch in their repo for our device. Its pretty easy to brunch, select your device, and wait for the build to finish. But I am very interested in learning how to build a ROM using a device tree from another repo.
I've noticed that @Eliminater seems to be very proficient at this, as he has built and posted unofficials of various ROMs.
I've been trying to teach/learn this myself through searching for guides, but havent been able to find anything that helps me get there 100% of the way.
I've been able to get as far as forking the device tree, editing the .mk and .dependencies files to match the format needed for the ROM I'm trying to build. I've also added the forked device tree and additional repos to the local_manifest. This has gotten me far enough that I have been able to do a successful "lunch", but I haven't gotten a build to finish. In fact, they fail pretty early on.
Is anyone able and willing to explain the process further?
Are there additional steps that I'm missing?
Or do you just need to be proficient enough to troubleshoot error after error when building?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I am trying my first kernel build, and there is one item I am not understanding, and I cannot seem to find a definitive answer on the web.
I cannot figure out how device blobs are incorporated into the kernel build. Are they required for functionality, or does the device specific kernel source code on GitHub already contain them?
I tried the kernel build described in CM, however that was unsuccessful for me, I was unable to make it through the 'installboot' command.
Therefore, I have been watching, and reading, all the guides on how to build a kernel but none of them (at least that I could find) mention what to do with the device blobs. What am I missing? It seems that if I do not add them I will lose functionality?
I am new to this so maybe I am missing something obvious.

Hello,
Please tell us the make and model of the device you building for.

Hi,
This is for an LG V500 tablet. Thanks!

Thanks edsmat. sorry, but I am a little confused, does the code from fefifofum contain the blobs? Actually, I have the blobs, grabbed them from he V500. What I am confused about is how these blobs are incorporated into the kernel build (I have the kernel source from github).
Hello, I need help getting device trees for this device so that I can build a custom ROM for it (I've been researching.). The following trees I need are Kernel Tree, Device tree, Device Common Tree, and Vendor Tree. If someone can help me out here, that would be wonderful. If they are in .IMG files, please tell me which ones.
Thank you in advanced!
