Develop Bugs

Can someone point me to the source for update-binary?

update-binary is included in the update.zip files to help process the edify install script.
I would like to look at the source code to verify something about the EMMC lockup/superbrick bug.
Would appreciate if someone could give me a pointer, preferably accessible online without needing to pull the source repository.

Ok, I found the source:
http://androidxref.com/source/xref/bootable/recovery/updater

Sfhub you could always ask in the irc channel where a couple devs hangout

You are a serious machine. You're on top of every leak, you even ask and answer your own questions. What can you not do? lol
Thank you seems so inadequate for all that give to this community. Know that your hard work is very much appreciated.

AOSP ROM Making

Hey guys. I'm new to this but I would like to start into ROM development. I have been wanting to for some time and now I thought it would be a good time to start. I was wondering if anyone could help me get started. I already have Linux ubuntu 12.04 installed on 12gb I think. Any help will be appreciated. I am trying to follow the steps on the AOSP development Page. Any help will appreciated.
Regards

This link has the best instructions around: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386615

Thanks man. I will look into it.

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!

I'm also waiting for CM13.

Go to the following link:

When you select the CM build, you'll be taken to a page that will redirect and begin the download.

Awesome, that's it. Thanks!

This is exactly the thread I was looking for. I am reviving my Galaxy Ace (Cooper) to use as a backup phone.
Unfortunately selecting my device in the menu results in void(0).
***EDIT***
Finally got it working, some download links are broken, but the latest nightly and stable links work.
Had to replace "galaxysmtd" with "cooper" in the URL, since clicking does not work.
Thanks @Ibuprophen

Decided to post a separate thread.

Hey, thanks man. I started looking for it online since I woke up this morning and I was able to find a source just 40 minutes ago lol
http://ftp.f3l.de/android/cyanogenmod/cm7.2.0-stable/
I just finished flashing the rom and the gapps, the Market app doesn't seem to work though.
"Attention: A server error has occurred. Retry , or cancel and return to the previous screen", tapping Retry just shows the message again after 5 seconds or so and tapping Cancel just closes the Market app. I tried clearing the data of the Market app but it didn't work. I also tried wiping the phone and flashing the rom and gapps again but it still didn't fix it. Do you happen to know a fix? I posted my question on [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread hoping someone knows the answer to it.

CyanogenMod 7.x (CM7) is Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and you need to install a GApps package that's compatible with the Gingerbread.
I performed a quick search and located a GApps package that should hopefully work for you.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=5651
That's not the only package out there but, a good start.
I don't believe that the latest GApps will work well with the Gingerbread device (it may be incompatible).
Good Luck!

I did install the gapps for cm 7.2 but unfortunately is still didn't fix it. I'll go search for other gapps and see if it fixes it or not. Thanks for the help!

Hi , you seem like the man that can pull a rabbit out of the hat . I've searched all day looking high and low for one of the last CM 12.1 builds for the LS990 . he only thing I've found is one snapshot build ,
cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K0-ls990.zip . I'd really like to find a nightly that was dated deep into 2016 toward the end of the 12.1 builds . I've been asking in the LG G3 areas but no one who might have a copy has stepped forward . Found this thread and thought I would ask . I'm also looking for RR too . The only 12.1 build listed on the archive page is for the LS980 . Thanks .

Okay... I tried a few of my voodoo tricks to try and locate any CM12.1 releases for the LS990 in 2016... LMAO!
I haven't located anything fitting this for the year you had provided based upon a few locations as to a record of one being released. If there was then I believe that i would be able to locate a reference to even a date and came up empty.
I'm not suggesting that there never was one released. I'm only pointing out that I can't locate any information regarding it.
Regarding the in between captures from the Archive itself...
The latest date for 2015 was made on 15-DEC-2015 as reflected on the following link...
https://web.archive.org/web/20151215172804/https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ls990
The earliest date for 2016 was made on 17-MAR-2016 as reflected on the following link...
https://web.archive.org/web/20160317092741/https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ls990
I've quarried using Metadata information from locations like Google, Android File Host, the Archive and even XDA without even a mention of a CM12.1 for the LS990 released before the March 2016 release of CM13 for that device.
Sorry my friend... I did what I could and I do wish you the best of luck!

I do appreciate you looking brother . I had not run across the references you provided in my search . Hopefully I can maybe run down the 12-11 build at least . Thanks so much for trying !

I think I've found the pot of gold here! Except I'm not sure what pot to look in. How would I figure out what to use to resuscitate Asus Zenpad C.7.0 P10Z? I have several of them and can root them but there's no Lineage for them so I end up back in the same place - with bloated Asus garbage and tablets that crawl. Guidance to goodness would be deeply appreciated!
