How do we get a flashable ROM out that source code?

We don't. The source is for the kernel only.

So information also. Gtk.
"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."
Just because I'm not here for magical ROMs, kewl kernelz, and hacks like Xposed doesn't mean I'm wasting my time. There is other info on here. Infact there is more non-ROM related info than ROM info (Moto Z2 Play).
If farting around with your phone is a big deal to you then you bought the wrong one. You should have forked out the dough for a Pixel or settled for an OP.

I rooted mine a couple weeks ago and finally had the time to flash Dolby Atmos. It took me a bit of effort to find a version that would work (CrisFix from a Samsung thread).
My next endeavor will probably be Xposed / Gravity Box.

Cool. I did notice a few posts on here looking for testers to help with various development projects ongoing for the z2 play so theres that as well.

Awesome
Thats really cool! I will totally check it out haha
Maybe it will give me some luck in my troubles im having haha

I'm wondering if getting a flashable kernel might help with my issue which is that my NFC doesn't work...

Well, the issue is, (Should have specified, sorry!)... the actual NFC option doesn't work. When I toggle it on, it stays greyed out and just return to being off. The NFC on my phone works perfectly normally, but even since I returned from LineageOS to stock, it doesn't work now..

I had a similar issue. Do some googling on the issue to confirm, but it sounds like it can be a general issue with any Moto phones.
To fix it, I believe the solution for me was to wipe both modem partitions (I think). Anyway, do some searching to confirm what I'm saying, just to make sure!

It is still possible the hardware is too different to simply port the recovery. I didn't bring anything until I post an image. Besides, the device still doesn't have kernel source. We can talk about saving it when it is too difficult instead of too new.

Check the op and the posts above yours for information
Closing the thread until the first build.
I opened this back up since the kernel is also included in the source now. The builds for boot and recovery compile but currently result in a crash. This appears to be security related and, being the first Samsung Galaxy phone (camera had no security) I've worked with, probably something I'm not configuring.
Either way, the source should give developers enough to work with. All of the commandline parameters and such have been verified.

It should be ready to go but fails some check. I know it isn't the recovery failing because the boot.img fails and all I changed in that was adding the line for init.d
I stopped changing anything until I can get the boot working to get valid readings on what needs work.
I miss fastboot. Straight up pass/fail

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

I'm really curious with this phone. Instead of mediatek processor, do you ever experience any lag/error during multitasking? And I wonder how long this 2.300 ma power battery can stand for a day. Maybe you can share your screen on time with list of applications installed.

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.
Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..

Hello all - I have just purchased a Pixel XL and am trying to decide if I should keep it or not. I have been spoiled with my Nexus 6p due to the official Magisk support. Was able to have full root and all the goodies that come with it and still pass safety checks to use android pay. Does anyone know if such a solution is in the works for the Pixel or is it an "is it what it is" at this point? Phone has been out for a while now and I dont see a whole lot of traction on the subject. (I could be missing something as I am new to this Phone.)

AOD, Lockscreen weather e altre mod per OOS Pie

Hi guys, I do not know if you ever looked at this magisk module for OnePlus 6.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/themes/magisk-aod-lockscreen-weather-mods-oos-t3847008
Since I'm a pixel style lover, I'd like to have it on 5t too. The developer of the module was very good and made available all the code but unfortunately I can not adapt it to our phone and I was wondering if any capable developer would hurry up the dirty work. I would be the first to support it. What do you think?
Looking forward to devs.... Lets Get It Done! ?

You can have, so far, a fair number of treble GSIs to be flashed. It's a good start.
It would be far way better to get a good kernel development, IMHO.

Looking at the threads related to treble stuff, onscreen FP seems to be a common issue, even if it could vary device by device. Same for camera (Gcam ports wise) and other minor bugs. If you are looking for some AOSP, at the moment GSIs are the only option available.
You must check for some development of sd710/712 devices to understand if some porting/development could be operated in a short while.
This phone has just been released in Europe. Should it be necessary to share a third-party system after a few months?
So when will we see the rom for our devices? It has been 2 weeks since closing fundraising

Relax, man. First, buying the device is not very easy in Brazil, I heard. Second, after buying the device, the dev (as everyone) needs to wait 1-1,5 or even 2 weeks until he can unlock bootloader. So maybe he has not even unlocked bootloader yet and you already panic.
As said above, it had been made a fundraising for a developer from pixel experience to buy the Mi 9 SE and build a rom for it. The goal was reached on 06/26, so the development may already have started or he's waiting for the device to arrive or unlock bootloader. We soon should see the first builds I guess. Let's wait a bit.
any news for this ? like "developer already got the device and are waiting for unlocking keys" or "developer is working on PE" ? anything ??

It took me a month, since I ordered my phone, to get it ready for custom roms.
---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------
I really wish there was a non MIUI stable, fully working custom rom out there. I tried the available options. But, for now, Xiaomi.eu 9.6.27 + Okita kernel (+ Debloater tool) remais the best combination for me.
