Trying to port a rom to my device, need some help.

Hello all, Im in the process of learning how to build a rom from source, I've got a good Xubuntu setup running, got my android enviroment setup, and the source downloaded, now im having problems figuring out how to extract all the files need from my device (flo) to start building.
I was wondering if anyone out there with the knowladge had any time to spare to a hungry mind. I've googled a few pages, and videos, but none of them are working. Well, hopfully someone out there has the time, and is bored enough.:laugh:

anybody? maybe point me in the right direction?

Download your device specific sources by addimg your device to a local manifest. Generally for nexus 7 i guess u need to add arnd 5 vendors nd a device tree nd kernel nd sync em up. Btw what rom r u trying to build?

Interested in porting CM 13

Hello fellow XDA members, I recently purchased a Le Pro 3 and a Le S3 during the flash sale and would like to use Cyanogenmod on my devices. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has ever ported a ROM before as I have not, and only know about the CM porting guide and opensource.le.com for the kernel source. If anyone has any tips or would like to assist me in porting CM13 to the Pro 3 please reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks, and let's hope LeEco releases the source soon!

Love to help but this isn't my department ????. But we should probably see more support in a couple more days once they start arriving here

Just out of curiousity, what exactly had you hoped to achieve with this post? If you're interested in porting, ideally you should at least be able to build a rom (for another pre-existing device)... and then you'll have to hunt down help on the CM forums and then eventually IRC.
Talking about this on XDA is pointless.

The purpose of my post was to see if anyone in the XDA community had experience porting a ROM to a new device, and if they'd be interested in helping me. I have read through a few guides and understanding building a ROM, but am struggling to find what I must "merge." From what I've found so far, I'll need to edit/merge the directories in /system/libs and edit the kernel?

No, it's far more complicated than that. You'll need a copy of the kernel for sure, but you'll also need a device definition. You can use the op3's device as a template, it's probably the best example of an msm8996 device you can have.
You really should be checking into the CM forums. CM people are pretty uppity about not supporting things on XDA. They also don't tend to help. Even as a developer I find it difficult sometimes to get their attention. Your best bet is to go to them if you want their help. Good luck.

Yeah, I understand. I also found out that it will be about a month until LeEco officially releases all of the source.

Where did you get that information from? They "accidentally" released kernel sources not too long ago and seemingly withdrew it. I got a copy of them and that's what I've been working with. I don't have a device to verify if any of it works.

I asked on this forum. Also my S3 is coming tonight, and my Pro tomorrow. I have a copy of the Pro 3 kernel source as well but as of now don't know what to do. What have you worked on so far?

Not a lot. I've identified the CAF tag the sources are based on and have been working to separate the relevant LeEco mods from the less relevant ones. I've also been attempting to remove the leeco specific things from the drivers that i'm keeping since they're a horrible mess and CM won't be able to make use of them anyway. I've also been finding the appropriate open versions of the drivers and taking the latest ones instead.
The mods from LeEco seem to be a mess, the dmesg output I got from a user on the chinese model (the x720) had segfaults from the modifications just after boot. The logcats are so full of errors I was unable to get the user to send me a full logcat from boot.
Interestingly enough, the chinese system rom looks like it came from a Le Max2. This makes sense since it's LeEco's first msm8996 device, and the Le Pro3 is the second one. I imagine the kernel sources work across a number of the 8996's.

Can you send me the link to where you got the open drivers.

This is not a International version? Its USA version? Where is the International source code?

Here's a mega mirror in case the drive link goes down.

Wish i could help more, but it looks like the kernel source is in there too, perhaps that means a fully functional cm13 rom that works AT LEAST as well as the stock rom. VERY EXCITE!

+1

I'm also waiting for CM13.

Progress Report?

With kernals we're close to root and twrp, perhaps xposed.
Anyone who's working for/with able to provide a progress report?
Perhaps a test boot.img?
Update 23.12.17 Proof that root is possible by Xshooter726
Update: 28.12.17 by DarkestSpawn
1, A/B partitioning needs smoothed out in twrp
2, Wi-Fi driver issues in twrp
3, no factory images for those that don't read through all the subdirectories and rush things and brick their device
4, waiting on the generous purchase delivery of a Razer phone to be delivered to Dees_Troy
5, Still in the holiday time frame, peeps have real life things to take care of.
6, other things in the background being chatted with between the devs and tester(s)

Soppy message:
You guys are amazing and sharing the work that you do for your own devices with us makes you incredibly generous. I cant begin to explain how grateful I am that after spending all of that time and risking bricks you simply hand over a solution and specific instructions so we can do the same.
Thank you so much. :3
Tldr: ty!

No one has extracted a boot image yet.

Yes we have a full systems dump including the boot.img :highfive:
Jcadduono has all the files and is working his magic. The guy is a freaking pro. I'm glad I was able to test and provide him with the files.

Awesome! SOO many of us been waiting for this lol time to unlock the true potential of this phone.. I can only imagine what they will be able to do with it.
I'd be happy with root right now so we can mod the **** outta this thing and install a custom kernel till we get something like RR or LOS. Hell maybe I'll even try Xposed finally lol

I will let jcaddunono do the release. It is to risky to release this in its current state although root is stable. Without a way to do a full system restore you could end up with a brick.
We may need some testers when ready... till then hang tight guys
Please don't ask for ETAs

DUDE NOT COOL! Don't tease that **** lol
but seriously thank you for working to get this done together. I've never actually owned a phone before twrp or root was established and the suspense is figuratively killing me. I would have been right there throwing my phone in the pot for testing purposes but it's my daily driver since my old phone died on me
Well keep working on it and we will just have to wait (im)patiently for the results and keep mashing reload several times a day lol

This phone is honestly starting to get dull without root, im dying to make changes that razor will take another year to implement.
Out of interest, what does everyone else intend to do?
I've got a few lines to add to the build.prop ?

Umm extensive list lol
Adblocking
Tweak build.prop
Delete few apps
Install a few apps
Gonna test out Xposed
Then impatiently wait for an oreo rom to install lol

Sounds cool.. You guys care to share exactly what sort of tweaks your thinking of in the build prop :good:

https://thedroidguru.com/15-best-android-build-prop-tweaks-must-try-2017/
These have a few of the more popular tweaks.. But as you go you find more that work specifically for each phone.

Camera2 API - this phones camera is capable of so much more.
Also being on a carrier version meant I didn't get the full update Min tweeted about. The phone in its current state is a bit like an android version of an iPhone.
Maybe add Viper too, the convolver would be a nice addition to Dolby experience.
Anyone else have a vision?

That was the dumbest answer, u don't need to learn Java first, lol. Hines u can learn Java in the process. This guide is all u need to build, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nathanchance/Android-Tools/master/Guides/Building_AOSP.txt.
You have to sync the CAF Branch for 5T on whatever ROM you choose. I didn't Know first thing about building, and this guide got me successful build. If u fillow the guide toul have zero issues.

The link you posted doesn't work but it was simple to find an alternative on Google. I've always wondered how to build a ROM so it was interesting to look at, maybe I'll give it a shot sometime one I get Linux dual-booting on my laptop. Thanks!

haha if you look at the URL there is a " . " on the end that shouldn't be there. If you cant solve that simple problem I wouldn't recommend getting into building roms since that is 90% problem solving and you do need some knowledge about basic stuff.

Edit: only flash the rom and gapps at first, nothing else

It works great. Now if I dirty flash dots os will it stick or will I have to wait for them to up date that custom rom

No. Only this build will work. I'll push the necessary changes to @squid2 perry trees though. If you want dot os I can make a build but the security patches will not be up to date.

Research. Google is your friend (when you need to learn something anyway).

Can confirm the rom provided by Jason M. Works perfectly on xt1766 boost variant NCQS26.69-64-10. Thank you so very much.
Edit: Magisk 17.1 installs fine, and flashes modules without a hitch, Thanx again.

Hey Jason can you make the crdroid rom like you did the dots.

Why did you remove the dots os rom

Sorry everyone I had some family visiting and my 3yr old nephew was caught playing around with my PC. I had some browser windows open with github and Android File Host and he must have deleted my github and roms on afh. I'll fix it asap but I'm gonna have to completely redo the trees.
