Hi all!
I'm trying for days to compile some of the Lollipop roms for the T800 and T700 available on Github.
Tried a lot of tutorials, downloaded the CM12 source on ubuntu, but I can't, for the life of me, integrate the files from github into the cyanogen downloaded source and do a "breakfast chagallwifi".
Could anyone give me some pointers?
Thanks!
Update, got it to start compiling, found another clue on local_manifests that is working! Let's see if it compiles...

Hi,
I've followed various posts on here and have managed to compile and install my own kernel build. I am using the leshak initramfs and would like to be able to modify the init executable that lives in the sbin folder.
I've had a search around and can't work out if there is any source code available to build this or if it just pulled directly from the device. Can anyone confirm if and how it is possible to build this executable?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
Theres no source from Samsung available.
You can try official android sources:

I have tried googling this and also searching the forums and have found many helpful guides for setting up build environ for building CM/AOKP/AOSP and so on. I am new to this obviously and dont totally understand linux and what not but have successfully built CM from source for my S4. Now I would like to start building KitKat from googles source. I mostly like everything about the google stock rom and seeing as their are fewer things in it then I would want to change in the stock CM builds and whatnot that I would really like to just get the google repo and build from that source. When following the guides I have seen they all refer to the repo's for the AOKP or CM or whatever and not AFAIK googles source. Is this so simple that beccause I dont understand how to do it maybe it means Im not supposed to be or is it just an unusual desire? Anyway if someone could direct me to the proper guide or the proper command to init the google 4.4 repo for the Nexus 7 2013 Deb/razorg I would greatly appreciate. Not sure if this should have gone in dev section or here or what but figured not clutter dev forum with such a simple thing. Thanks in advance. Any guidance on any of this source building design stuff would be appreciated as well.

I think I just posted to soon. Finally found googles site and looking through it I think I am getting there. Still would appreciate any help or suggestions on guides to read or anything that helped any of you build your first few builds via source. Thanks.
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4_r1.1
We'll I've built Firefox OS from source previously but that used git and what not but this phone you straight download the kernel sources how would one go about building from source that way can someone point me to a good guide please and thanks

Me too, but I have given up on it due to too many issues with building. If you are looking to continue, AOSP has a guide. Also, look on Cyanogenmod git and TheMuppets git for device specific items.
Hello Fellow developer and programmer, I'm building a custom by using Ressurection Remix as a base, While I'm initializing the repo an error occurred, How to solve that. The Error is repo is not reccoginzsed as an internal or external command, I have installed the repo, thanks for the reading the post

For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

I'm working on porting one myself. Repo is available within the Ubuntu apt-get repository. That can be a simpler way to install. However I'd suggest the curl & chmod method method for the latest binary as well as getting good experience.

Follow the instructions to add the repository, then do an initial repo sync, I hope you have plenty of drive space cos some roms can take up many GB
The manifest instructions even link you to the guide for setting up git and repo
Ubuntu is usually the best platform for this, it might work in Windows subsystem for Linux but I've never tried so couldn't tell you.
Haven't built a rom for a while but you used to add device tree urls in .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml, it's probably still done the same way. (.repo is a hidden folder by default so, in Ubuntu, you would press CTRL+H to get it to show up)
If you don't know how to install repo then you will likely need to do a LOT of reading before you can even think of firing off a build.

Currently having success within WSL v1 Ubuntu.
Following this thread, I recently built e/OS 0.22q for Motorola One xt1941-4 (deen). Please refer to https://e.foundation/e-os/ to learn more about e/OS.
After several weeks of usage this ROM seems to be very useful. Find the zip file with the images of the Andoid 10 version here. Unzip and flash using adb and fastboot. Please use at your own risk!
I used the following repos in my local manifest:
https://github.com/electimon/device_motorola_deen, branch Lineage-17.1
https://github.com/electimon/vendor_motorola_deen, branch Lineage-17.1
https://github.com/100Daisy/android_kernel_motorola_deen, branch android-10-release-qpks30.54-22-13
In addition, I included
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_system_qcom, branch Lineage-17.1
which is obviously needed by some stuff from vendor. Vendor files are from 2019, so if someone could provide a more recent repo, I would be glad to know (last stock rom provided by Motorola is from October 2021)
All credits go to the creators of the LineageOS 17.1 port (link to thread at the top of this post)! Very good job guys!
Works just fine, thanks.

I'm sorry, but I have no time and I am not good at making tutorials at all. Please refer to the thread referenced at the beginning of the initial post. There you should find all necessary information. If this is not enough, do some more searching and reading on XDA. If you still feel uncomfortable, stay with the stock rom.
Nice work. You succeeded where I failed
I'm trying to build on top of Q to build a e/os 0.23-R version (I see you actually managed to do this). Are you willing to share your sources (here/github) or just a hint on how to build it?
I tried to compile, but I'm stopped at the beginning of the repo-sync for a duplicate manifest.xml
Thank you.
PS: One thing I stumbled upon and managed to fix is the new way e/os manages the prebuilt apk with git lfs
The build will fail unless these apks are downloaded in a separate step. Here's the relevant info from the docs:
Those building using traditional repo sync method refer android_prebuilts_prebuiltapks_lfs 3
You will have to install git-lfs
sudo apt-get install git-lfs
After completing a repo sync, you will have to run
repo forall -c 'git lfs pull'

Thanks! I wrote a report on the endeavour, where you will find almost everything of what I know.

Please note that I am not a ROM programmer, nor maintainer, and most of the build process is black box to me. However, I will try to build e/os 1.x after summer...

I read your article and managed to follow it and compile my own e/os. I'm also not an android developer. I did some kernel work in the early days, around Android 2.0 but my path diverged and now I'm completely lost.
Let's keep in touch. If you restart your efforts, I'll be happy to contribute. Meanwhile I'll try my best to get some info from the e/os forums and (pray) the lineageos residual devs.
