[Development][Port] CyanogenMod 7/Oxygen for the Galaxy W

***this thread is made strictly for development purposes so that any developer can join up and help the development of a working port of this for the Galaxy Wonder***
Okay at this point in time I'm trying to make an hard port (the easy way) of CM7 by trying to make a generic build of CM7, then bundling it with Arco68's kernel and afterwards fix the libs and whatnot.
I've already managed to compile the generic build and am now playing around to create a working .ZIP file.
Update 1 : ZIP install fine, but no boot, at least for now. Time to play a little
Update 2: Hm, weird. I was convinced this was gonna work. I'm most likely missing some Samsung patches and **** that generic builds don't have. Going back to the drawing board.
Update 3: While I go into theories about how I should go about CM7, I'm also downloading the sources for Oxygen, because I prefer it over CM7. That way I can study both.

Right on bring it on !

KP, as always I can test whatever firmware you are working on, even if it doesn't boot on your device I can try on mine to see if it works

Since hard porting was getting me nowhere, I decided to try the hard way and I'm currently making a vendor and device config manually. I'm basing it on YardE's awesome work on the Galaxy S Plus front. At least it saves me some work, but there is still a whole lot to do.

Good luck with that considering we have zero basis to work on and building a ROM from source. If you achieve the miracle of building a 'vendor' folder that actually compiles, tell me. That tutorial assumes you have a vendor config that works for your device.
Anyways good luck. I'm still trying to make a working vendor folder.

You might be able to find those files at Arco's Github.
https://github.com/arco/android_device_samsung_ancora
The above link does contain a file called " setup-makefiles.sh"
You might also want to look at the following:

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Hopefully this will help you.

I didn't no, but then again I'm not looking to port a kernel, so try asking your question in the section that's there to help, or read the material that's freely available using google (like I just did to see what's available) to help with your quest.

I cant find any tutorial on how to potr kernels. So Im asking it in a thread.
Sorry if I posted in wrong place, but no subforum for the Pro.

Hi! Developing kernels is way to different than just porting ROMs. Also you don't port kernels you develop them from scratch. There's no way to port a kernel into another device.
Here's a very2 basic tutorial on building kernel for Xperia but you still won't understand it without proper knowledge.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
Here's the source code.
http://dl-www.sonymobile.com/cws/download/1/105/457/8/1339505718/4_1_B_0_431_tar.bz2
Take note that source code doesn't contain any modifications compiling that right away would just leave you a replica of stock kernel without overclocking, volting, tweaks etc.
Kernel development is a critical part of android customization and anyone is not recommended to play with it even for average developers. It could harm your device to the point that it would burn out or explode.

My point was to try asking in the section dedicated to Android development, as you'll probably get better help or pointers than you will by posting it here, and if you've not found anything at all in regards to kernel building/porting then you're obviously not using google correctly.

WoW Riyal, who is this guy I see you everwhere, are you the BEST android developper???
Can u PLZZZ make Arc knight kernel for Xperia Pro ??? I have some money to donate if u want, or help me do and answering questions / problems im facing.
PLz reply thanks!

I'm not the best android developer in fact I am not an android developer.
I am a server administrator and a programmer and it's just I am also a linux kernel developer.
It just so happens that I am the only and sole android kernel developer which is this active for Xperia Pro. If you don't trust me feel free to approach any other developers like FXP and cross fingers that he would reply to you.
I'll try to look for any arc night sources if I found one I'll guide you if not then try ask the creator of arcnight for it's sources then I'll help you.

Ok here's a quick tutorial. I am not good at teaching things so I hope you understand that. I would also assume you have at least basic knowledge with linux and compiling stuff. If not then learn it first before proceeding.
1st.
You must have a linux machine. No windows only linux.
2nd.
download arcnight kernel sources here.
https://github.com/Jimbo77/Arc-Night-Kernel--4.1.C.0.7-/zipball/master
3rd.
go to kernel/arch/arm/configs/
You should be able to see lot's of config files there just pick these 2.
ArcKnight_defconfig
semc_iyokan_defconfig
4th.
Now compare both files make sure that everything in semc_iyokan_defconfig should be also in ArcKnight_defconfig
Ex. if a config in arcKnight says
# CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN is not set
while config in semc_iyokan_defconfig says
CONFIG_MACH_SEMC_IYOKAN=y
Then change arcknight's config and match it with iyokan's
5th.
Download eabi here.
https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/[email protected]=lite
6th
follow everything in here.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
7th.
in the line
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
on sony's dev page change it instead to
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make ArcKnight_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done.
Note that I am not responsible if you brick your device. You are using a kernel made for Arc/Arc S and also I am not the developer of that kernel to assure you that it doesn't have any changes which would affect any specific device in any way.

I started and understand the setup etc. but not part 6, when I run terminal and type ''cd kernel'' it says
bash: cd: kernel: File or map doesnt exist

AND Ive downloaded eabi. Its a .bin file [is that ok?] and I cant open it! How can I open it??

Unfortunately my friend this is not a hold my hand and guide me forum. You need to do some reading and learning like the rest of us. We all had to do it and we all were new at this once. So please read and search then read and search some more before you end up coming back to us requesting help to fix your phone.
Never attempt anything without some kind of basic knowledge of what you are trying to do.
To get anything higher than 2.3.7 means you have to go custom rom like JB or ICS. So my first advice to you would be reading up on how to get your bootloader unlocked since its a DHD. If its an inspire then read up on rooting if its still supported.
Good luck and enjoy the learning.

I agree...
To op. Please look through the forums, people have already done lots and lots of work already for you, creating guides and tools and roms and recoveries.
Now I don't want to sound mean, but at the end of the day your going to have to do all the work rooting and flashing yourself, this stuff is not easy for beginners (noobs) your going to have to do some reading and learning.
However this does not mean that some one is not going to help you after you've learned some skills.

[S][MOD][LB] CyanogenMod 10 for locked bootloaders

This is CM10 for LB. If you want to check how it works, go here out. Though it's very unlikely to happen, I am not reponsible for bricked devices/whining children whatsoever.
You can get the mod, containing the latest commits and patches from here (*.zip) or here (*.tar.gz). I will also upload it here on XDA, but it may not always be up-to-date. Also feel free to contribute to my source, any help is appreciated.
Oh and since I don't have time to update this thread very often, I will not post a changelog. Though you can track my progress here.
VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT flash this mod using CWM. Please follow the installation instructions given in the second post instead. If you want to flash it, go here.
Thanks!

Delete the META-INF folder
Open my mod.
Copy META-INF folder from my mod (master.zip or patch-nozomi.zip) to the ROM.zip
Step:
Delete META-INF folder
Copy META-INF folder from my zip to the ROM.zip
Step:
Copy lb-and-wifi folder from my zip to the ROM.zip
Flash the modified ROM.zip like any other ROM
Happy flashing! :cyclops:

hi.thx for ur works.
i have locked bootloader.what is bugs in this rom!?
im a amature! can u make a zip file ready for flash!?
thx

Hi, thanks for you interest. This ROM does not boot up (boot loop) as of now. Hence I would recommend not to flash this with a locked bootloader though since it's pointless (it is not going to boot and you cannot grab a proper log). That and installation instructions have already been stated one post above yours by the way.
Thanks

Hey Oliver,
I have an unlocked bl and some time in the weekend, I will try this and report back. Thanks for your hard work

hi i just click the thanks button....pleaaaaaase help him, i have locked bootloader, and till now is the only way to keep my phone, or i will change it....pleaaaase save my phone LOL

Bro, i have a suggestion.. Although this is also a very good idea of bringing CM10 for LB.. Why don't u try a AOSP 4.3/4.4? Fixing all present bugs in letama's 4.3 may be.. Or bringing a SONY UI for 4.3/4.4..??

Hello my friend,
sorry for the late reply, I couldn't find the time to respond.
It might be possible, yes. But it's a lot of work. I chose CM10 because I find it's more likely to work with Stock 4.1.2 kernel than KitKat for example. I don't even know it will work. Many devs say that it's impossible to boot CyanogenMod/AOSP-based ROMs using Stock kernel, and this might be true. I will not give up so fast though, let's see how far we can come. Remember this project can't progress if nobody tries to get me a log (I haven't received a single log yet).
Thanks,
djolivier

The prefix should be sufficient to answer your question
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Hello All,
Be careful, I didn't test it much! Don't do that if you're not used to flash stock firmware when everything is broken or phone doesn't boot. Wait for feeback from experienced users!
Now that disclaimer is done, here is a little gift for the end of the year .
I was able to steal my wife XS for few hours and continued @djolivier work, cm10 boots and runs fine now as far as I can tell.
Requirements:
- Rooted stock 1.96 firmware with working recovery
Instructions:
- Download zip from the link above
- Push zip to /sdcard
- Go to recovery
- Flash zip
- Flash gapps
- Wipe data
Note:
I replaced recovery with TWRP, the one I had on locked doesn't work properly. I didn't test much TWRP either, but it seems to behave properly. Be cautious too with it.
Let me know if it works for you. Mine is unlocked, but it runs with a fully stock kernel so it should be the same for you guys.
I'll hand over my scripts and hints to @djolivier, I'll let him manage it, this is his baby after all and I don't have the XS very often.

Hi,
As already said above, it works now courtesy of letama.
Actually, everything except wifi works, but we are already working on it. Stay tuned!
And a happy new year everyone!
