[ROM][11/24/2011] UNOFFICIAL CM7 G2/Vision Kang's Built from Source

This thread is for everyone who compile's Cyanogenmod Kang build's from source and would like to post/share with everyone. If you want your build included in this post just pm me and I will update this post asap.
Warning these are unofficial CM7 build's (with myself cherry-picking comments from CM's Gerrit for testing) which may have unfinished mods and/or broken code that is continually changing, ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING SHOULD FLASH THEM. Don't file bug reports on the Cyanogenmod issue tracker from any of these build's. Please don't bother cyanogen or #teamdouche as you have been warned these build's are unofficial and come with no support except on this thread. If you have any question's try searching as your question might have been already asked and answered. Note: I, nor is anyone else is/are responsible for any bricks or problems you may encounter.
I no longer have a G2 as I gave it to my mom, but will update this periodically. Sorry for the delay I have been super busy with the move, my new job and fixing this house I am now living in.
All credit goes to cyanogen & #teamdouche, thank them not me as all I do is compile
Items from CM's Gerrit that I cherry-picked:
* Give me time
Last Commit repo synced before building-
* Enable access to Audio Effects Settings
I understand that this build is unofficial and I take no responsibility if you brick your phone- Will be update in about an hour and half as I plan on running it when I get home
Please visit @cmsrc, CM's Gerrit or Nightly Device Changelog for a complete list of changes or commits.
Also those who don't know a Kang is an unofficial nightly that someone builds from CM's github.
I will update this post as often as needed to stay current or change as necessary.

Hey everyone, here are the kangs and cherry picks that i will be providing. I want to thanks plasmadragon007 for allowing me to post here.
Everything in the above post applies to here. We will most likely be making these at a different time of day with possible different commits. I do not own a g2 but i do have a couple of decent guys willing to test each kang before posting. If they are not available, i will let you know that the build has not been tested. I do this because i enjoy it and want to. I hope you enjoy it also.

gridlock32404 - cm7rc0 built by gridlock will be http://www.crackflashers.com/ cause of dropbox excessive traffic, will build new ones tonight if new commits
I uploaded it just now.
You will need to flash CWRecovery 3.0+. Which can be found at
http://xdafiles.net/rhcp/
This has been all built from source.
You need to put your phone in fastboot.
1) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) reboot into recovery
3) backup your current rom
4) adb push the zip
5) flash the zip
As for gapps I can not post any gapps here. (Hint Paul obrians dump of the nexus S)
Notes: I am not responsible for any bricks or problems you may encounter I am just sharing this. If you follow the step you will have 2.3.1 on your phone.
Please help the devs who put this togther for us. fix some bugs. If you know how.
so far, It seems the video has been fixed up a bit. and the wifi works. So, Far the only thing not working video cam. (which is under works so i hear)
Also. Protected apps do not show since this is 2.3.1 (You can fix this by modding your build.prop or wait for google to add 2.3.1)
Thanks and I hope you enjoy this. Please someone mirror the build. I dont think mediafire will keep it up.
If you want to see protected apps. You need to edit your build.prop in system with the following:
Code:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3 GRH55 79397 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3/GRH55/79397:user/release-keys
This is built from current src as of 30 mins ago.
So, there is a few video fixes and others.
You can read the updates at: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z

I appreciate it man. I just moved and I don't have an internet connection yet. It's hard to repo sync on a 1mbps Android tether.

Is there any difference between this one and the other one?

Compile CM9 with CMParts included

Hi all,
I've managed to properly build CM9 so far, but I noticed somehow CM settings aren't included. Does anyone know how to add this to the build? What I tried so far:
Downloaded the source files for CMParts from CM github, placed them in /packages/apps/CMParts/ and added CMParts to the core.mk file in build/../.
It starts compiling, but always returns an error complaining about deprecated API's.
Hope someone can give some advice here! Been searching like crazy the past few days, but cannot seem to find the answer. Thanks in advance...
(oh, and while I'm at it: after a build I have to manually add a couple of libs to /system/vendor/firmware/ -bcm4330 and some others-. Is there anyway to include them in the source so that they are automatically added? Thanks! )

AOKP ICS preprepre alpha

This is a very pre-alpa build of AOKP ROM.Known serious issue are h/w buttons,not all are working correctly,use onscreen ones.More functional update will be very soon

This one is ported from WFS,now compiling new wersion from sources

not bad few issues\recommendations after installing:
Max speed of 710 is a bit keen (default of 691 ?)
Recommend latest Nova Launcher (1.2 - lots of bug fixes)
SuperSU rather than SuperUser
Remove pointer following boot-up
Updater script saying installing CM 4.0.3 needs edit as 4.0.4 is installed ...
Advise that gapps are not included
Please dont take this as criticism, I certainly couldn't do this (tho i might have a bash somepoint)
I'd be happy to be guinea pig for testing further builds if you'd to pm me.

awesome! glad to see you guys have an aokp port now.
about the hardware buttons, wouldnt that have to do with the /usr folder? try to replace key layout related stuff with ones from heroics, and it should work.
if you need any help let me know

Download link not work correct..and one question if i understand good this is new port from new HTC Desire C ROM....ICS 4.0.4?
Thanks
P.S.Good will be to make your tread with more exact info like ROM version images from phone,change log and e.g

What works and what not?

Hardware buttons except for menu, home and back (correct me if I'm wrong) don't work. However Keynrtracker (or check here for more information and keynrtracker.apk) resolves all the buttons. The problem doesn't seem to rely in /system/usr/keylayouts, but somewhere else.
Haven't had time to try this ROM out any further.

SU640/P930/VS920 Bringup for 3.4 jb kernel

This thread is for developers to discuss bringup for the 3.4 jb kernel on various devices in the Nitro HD "iproj" family. These include P930, SU640, VS920, and LU6200.

Downloaded the su640 jb sources and compiled for ijb_skt. Tried to boot on my "gimpy" p930. No boot.
Enabled console framebuffer and snapped a pic just before reboot. It's complaining about fatal regulator error (msm_rpm_err_fatal). Anyone else get this far and/or see anything similar?
If anyone wants to use a console framebuffer, here's how:
1. Enable CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY.
2. Modify console_setup() in kernel/printk.c. Delete the function body and replace it with just "return 1".
Be prepared with a camera to snap an image of the screen before it reboots.

Working on bringing this up for the vs920 as that's the only one I've got.
So far I've copied the ijb_skt bits over to ijb_vzw and used a bit of grep/sed magic to replace the skt bits to vzw in the files, and add ||'s for ijb_vzw wherever ijb_skt was a condition. I'm getting successful builds But they won't boot (yet). I'll keep you updated. I'll be pushing to here as I make any changes/progress.

Got past the RPM error with a hack.
In arch/arm/mach-msm/clock.c @ clock_late_init(), remove the list_for_each_entry_safe block.
Obviously, this is just a hack. We need to figure out what's causing the issue.
Next up is the display. The kgsl driver in this kernel does not match the kgsl libs in CM10. I'm going to download the 4.1 flashable rom from this forum and see if I can update the drivers to match.

I think kgsl is happy now. Next up is the msm video driver.

Man, You're a machine... Here I'm still trying to get something that'll boot past the LG logo lol

Got boot animation and home screen. Then it reboots after a minute or so. The shell in adb gets really laggy right before reboot. Likely causes are a kernel hardware driver failing somewhere or a massive memory leak.
I see touch events logged but by the time the home screen shows I think it's too far gone to act on them. Same with hard buttons and capacitive buttons.

Oh .. by the way I'm using CM10 not CM10.1. It matches better since it's a 4.1 kernel.
Gotta stop for the day. Here's what I've got so far...

Nevermind. I thought the link I just posted was for someone working on another 3.4 kernel... it wasnt.
*Edit*
I'm obviously doing something horribly wrong by trying to borrow/reuse the ijb_skt files, because I can't get a kernel that even tries to boot (gets off the first LG logo)... and don't really have the know-how to reconstruct the files.

Didn't get a chance to work on this today I was busy on another project. But I'll be back on it Monday for sure.
@Yoinx: you are going to have a harder time with the vs920 because the hardware is different and it won't boot the su640 kernel.

I do not know the approach of developing cm10 kernel from stock kernel.
According to miroslav_mm,

I tried using stock 3.4 zImage + cm10 ramdisk + required libs. It boots with blackscreen

I finished my new build CM10, on 3.4 kernel, with new JB camera libs, and other new properitary stuff. Dont have any problem with 3.4 kernel on CM10 (4.1.2), I didnt patch any KGSL driver, sources from my Github working, it dont have last updates but it working. I cant upload new ROM for test now, I dont have internet at home, when I fix my provider I will upload it.
lyfkevin which display libs did you use? Did you complete build CM10 with new kernel and headers?
Take this variant:
1.) display libs: copybit.msm8660.so, gralloc.msm8660.so, hwcomposer.msm8660.so, libgenlock.so, libhwcexternal.so, libhwcservice.so, libmemalloc.so, libqdutils.so, libtilerenderer.so, and libqdMetaData.so take from official STOCK 4.1 + take Adreno libs with MetaData support from my last CM10 or from STOCK 4.1 (older version) = its working on CM10

You cannot do this. There are many changes to files which are not gpl .
It takes a lot of work to make an aosp ROM. You need most of the cm hardware changes and various other changes through the system. I have done it for 4.1 with only one bug: the front camera does not work. I have not tried with 4.2 yet.

Please refer to this thread for a bounty on the bootloader.
-------------------------Please note---------------------------------
This is an experimental build of CyanogenMod 10.2 running Android 4.3.
Meaning there's a couple of known issues with the camera. It is my hope these will be sorted out over time.
If anyone has any interest in helping out, please PM me. Or simply fork the code if you want.
-------------------------Instructions---------------------------------
Install CWM recovery from here.
Download most recent ROM from here.
Download most recent Google Applications for Android 4.3 from here.
Boot into recovery by holding the Volume Up button as the phone is booting.

Flash Google Applications to your device using CWM recovery.
Do a wipe data/factory reset from within CWM recovery.
Reboot system
---------------------------Known issues-----------------------------
Several camera functions such as HDR don't work.
---------------------------Build from source------------------------
Please consult this guide for setting up CyanogenMod for compile.
Please use
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
when you initialize the CyanogenMod repository so you get the source for CM-10.2.
Download roomservice.xml (see below) and put in ~/android/system/.repo/local_manifests/.
Run 'repo sync' and compile with 'brunch jactiveltexx'. You can get the proprietary files from the ROM.
As always, I take no responsibility in case your phone blows up.
And thanks to the CM team for all their hard work.

This is not something you should install unless you want to be compiling and debugging yourself. It's far from usable as day to day rom. I hope I'm clear on that.

Fixed wifi and a number of small issues. Should be a lot more stable. Seems the main remaining issue is, not surprisingly, the camera. If anyone knows how the entire camera driver setup is supposed to work in android, I'd love some help

Call it just a hunch. But have you tried the camera drivers from the s3 ? I would say that it's basically the same camera and has been added in s4 active because after 1 year it became very cheap to continue manufacturing and this way compensate for the more expensive case and water proofing.

Honestly, not exactly sure how the setup is. I assume it's mostly in some proprietary libs separate from the kernel, but it's hard to find good information on it.

Is there any solution?
For example creating symlink or mounting in /sdcard
I've never tried anything of that!

It's working really well Wifi works yay, well done! Hopefully you can get the camera working too.

Building from source
Hi,
I'm happy to see such great progress already, and am only diving in to this because I'd like to be able to lend a hand in any way I can.
Is it too soon to be asking questions about how to build for 10.2? I'm having a go at it right now, and if I use Lejay's kernel and device configuration (jactivelte), the kernel fails to compile, something about BUG_ON rcu error, I can come back to that if its relevant. So I tried Epsylon3's suggestion to use tpruvot's kernel and device config. This builds a rom, but black screen, can't see anything or get into adb. If I flash Lejay's kernel over the top of my 10.2 build, it boots. Phone (dialer) keeps force closing in a loop, which is annoying, but asides from that it seems to boot.
Keep up the good work, can't wait to get some 10.2 love.

Comparing the 9295 and 9505 kernels, there's quite a lot of differences. Cyanogenmod tried to merge the two, but apparently gave up. The question is really if we should start with the 9505 and add the camera or start with the 9295 and make it compatible for CM. The stuff i uploaded here is a port of the 9505 kernel, but now I'm looking into starting out with the 9295 kernel instead.
The problem with 10.2 is of course there's no released 9295 kernel for android 4.3. I'm guessing there are not that many differences, so it might not be too hard.
I think I'm getting the same compile error you were with 10.2. Not sure what it means.

Are you going to try to make CM 10.2?

The problem with 10.2 is of course there's no released 9295 kernel for android 4.3. I'm guessing there are not that many differences, so it might not be too hard.
I think I'm getting the same compile error you were with 10.2. Not sure what it means.

I had a chat with noobnl about it, and he pointed out a patch on gerrit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/44552/
I spent hours manually merging it with cm jf kernel, to finally end up with a kernel that gives me. You guessed it, a black screen. After investing about a days worth of effort into it, I ended up with a buggy unstable CM10.2 build, that will boot if I flash LeJay's kernel zip, but its unuseable. It's going to take some serious effort to come up with a functioning CM10.2 kernel for the International S4 Active. In the meantime, a CM10.1 build with a non functioning camera, is still way better than the stock TouchWiz rom, so I'm happy. :laugh:

Ok, I got bored and had another play around with 10.2 and the CM jf kernel. With the black screen problem, if you power the device down, then boot into recovery (power + vol up), you can adb pull /proc/last_kmsg and it tells an interesting story. It looks like the init scripts are totally borked. init.qcom.rc and init.carrier.rc are completely missing. I tried simply copying them into the root, but it looks like its a bit more complicated than that. The problem is clear that it is unable to mount /system for whatever reason, because it can't find /system/bin/sysinit, then pretty much gives up after that.
This looks like a pretty simple problem for a relatively experienced device maintainer, or rom kernel dev to be able to fix. It would be nice if we could get some more developer attention for this device.

You probably forgot to add jactivelte to the list at the bottom of device/jf-common/Android.mk. I didn't want to fork their repo just to add one word on a line, so you have to do this manually. It's probably also a good idea to extract rom files from a cm.10.2 rom for something like jfltexx.

Are you going to try to make CM 10.2?

I have cm10.2 running. The problem is really the camera.
