I reached xda completely but there is no ways mentioned for defy. I wonder how CM and MIUI guys are able to build. I know they get the codes from GOOGLE opensource. But when i saw, i couldn't understand anything from Android Development page
For god sake's can any DEV please say how to make custom roms for DEFY
If you want to know how CM7 needs to be build, check the CM7 wiki and search for 'how to build'. For examples of changes, check review.cyanogenmod.com
This is a complete new build if android (compiled from source). To modify existing build, search google for build prop changes, de-(and re-)compiling apks, res changes...
With miui you can only remove/add apps, translate,... The same things as with a Motorola ROM cause thre source code is closed.
There is no straight forward way. If there was, you get what happens with other devices. A million ROM's with no contribution at all.
You will have to search and learn a lot. If only I had the time

Same as fe atrix but replace olympus with jordan.
The copying of proprietary files doesn't need to be done.
A useful utility for building could be the cm gui (somewhere on xda)
Gui:

(check 2nt post for a better list of needed software then on cm wiki, these need to be installed like 'sudo apt-get instal ...')

Hi,
I really am embarrassed for having to ask this question considering I've been an Android user for almost a year now and rooting all my devices.
I went to Asus' website a moment ago to download the upgrade to Jelly Bean since I need to do it manually.
What is the difference between the 'firmare' and the 'source code'?
Which one would you use to flash the upgrade.
Also, just so I have a better understanding of the two would you be kind enough to provide a simple reason as to what each type is used for?
My gut guess is that we use 'firmware' to do the actually flash.
And the source code lets you look at what is inside and is 'uncomplied'
Where the firmware is the 'compiled and ready to go package.
Did I get it correct?
Thanks!
Rob

You are indeed correct. You need to download the firmware not source code
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yeap he's right you are pretty much spot on with the source code and firmware.
The firmware is the software package with the OS and drivers and libs and things such as that.
The source code is what developers use to modify the software, my analogy isn't the best but its kind of like if I needed to do a big structural renovation/addition on an existing building I would use the blueprints from original construction instead of reverse engineering by taking the entire building down one piece at a time to see what's load bearing, where hidden plumbing and electrical is, etc.
Source code is kinda like those blueprints.

Hi,
The Source Code is really the code written by hand with a keyboard of the System Android. It is not compiled.
Compiled : It is the result of compiling the source code. It is in a state where you can use the system. Probably where you're looking for.
If you want the stock 4.1.1 Image for Nexus 7, check at the bottom of this page https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Question: The file from that link is in .tgz format.
Aren't the flashable files in .zip format?
How does one use the .tgz to get their Nexus 7 back to stock? Is there a link to the step by step instructions?
Thanks
Rob has sent this from his Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If I were you, I would use Nexus 7 Toolkit V2, it has the option to 1st Download Stock Rom, 2nd Flash it , so yeah all you gotta have to do is enter some number to select what you want from menu
Just to make sure you understand few words :
Adb : Normal state when your device is turned on
PS: To flash a rom, your bootloader must be unlocked, there is the option to unlock it on the Nexus 7 Toolkit too Ah and if it is the first time you do that on your computer you gotta install the driver. Press 1 on the menu think

Other info:
Doesn't matter if it is a .tar.gz or a zip or a rar, because these extensions do likely the samething, they 'compress' files to distribute them easily. The reason why it doesn't matter is that the rom is gonna be extracted/decompressed

It seems impossible to find anything when 1000s of Google results are scummy suspicious paywall blogs with oddly similar comment sections. I was looking to update my phone to use Cyanogen mod but the device is not on the supported device list but there are devices from lower tier levels.
Full name for my device is: Galaxy J500FN (maybe it has a different name elsewhere ?) a mid range Samsung phone. In Europe. I found a thread about rooting it but that's not really the same.
Not sure how/where to look for answers.
I own the same device currently and would to get answers to this question. This phone has many users in Asia and Middle East. Btw the full name for my device is Galaxy j500H
I have searched a lot but no luck. I could find anything reliable.

Maybe just wanting something different. There are phones out there from Samsung and other manufacturers of lower and same tier with Android 5.1 which have custom roms.
And it's not just look and feel improvements, voice input/output, better image/video quality, batter life etc..

Ok getting the deodexed rom is easy.
Just install kitchen and cygwin on pc and setup the up correctly.
And then using cwm recovery make a backup of a factory reseted device and then just send me a screenshot of folders which you have.
After i tell you which filder to choose paate them into kitchen and start kitchen to make a working folder.
Then inside kitchen menu deodex apps and framework folder and then repack the rom.
After repacking flaah the rom using cwm recovery.
Your root will not be lost.
In least cases if root lost after flaahing the re root it using same method as you used before for rooting.
And for improvments you want in custom rom. I will try to get them in the rom.

Thanks but currently CWM is not available, I am using twrp and I know the procedure you just mentioned but I'd rather wait for someone to cook a rom than do it myself. Time boht kam hai dost
So install the terminal emulator and write this.
Su
Tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
And wait patiently for the emulator to respond ok
Now you got the system.tar
And now get the boot.img from the rom
When you get both the files paste them in original rom folder in kitchen and stary cygwin
You can get good guids on cygwin and dsixda kitchen and how to set them.up correctly.
If not then i will tell you guys tommorow. Today going to sleep it too late here 1:27 am.

Hey,
I'm joining there.
So, after a bit of research i found a CM12.1 for Galaxy E5, wich is almost the same phone as the J5 (same proc, same RAM, same display). If anyone can port that rom to this device, that would be awesome.

I just cant understand this new porting method (5.1.1 has the system.new.dat - and the base rom is just a tar.md5).

There are many roms for moto g3 which is very slow in app opening when compared to j5,
So why can't we hv roms.

J5 is midrange beast.
Because that's not how things work, your phone opens apps "faster" good for you, doesn't mean anything.

I came across CM12.1 rom for Lenovo K3 Note on needrom. Considering that K3 have the same chipset as ours, I've been thinking that it can be ported to our device.
I've tried to port it past few days but failed. Any developer would come up and try to port it?
What have you done? Device tree something else?
Nope. Just changing libs here and there, according to this guide. I'm still noob in porting roms so I can't do much.

Yes. I'm actually having problem in repacking system.new.dat files. The same as the guy face here. Finding the solution require me to learn Linux. I'm still new at Linux, so I need some time to learn.
Other than that is okay (perhaps). I followed some other guides like http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707438.
Oh and one more thing, the rom is ported by @Cheshkin. I've tried to seek his permission to port the rom through pm, but still no answer. So I cannot post the rom here (if I done porting it) without his permission.

Would be graet to see CM to release this device's potential. Especially since HTC is taking it's sweet time with 6.0 update and 5.1 was officially skipped.

Hello guys hope you have been doing great, Was too busy with school, exams and stuff.
Good news!! I have finally managed to boot into CM 12.1 after I successfully ported it today.
It's lightning fast but has some bugs: USB, bluetooth and Sim don't work currently and it needs some resizing of the framework images.
I will try to work on it until Sunday and hopefully someone else can take over with modifying it

PathROM was designed to help porting MIUI to devices. I used it 3-4 years ago for porting MIUI to my LG P500. A developer/user could definitely go the manual way, but it would be mess.
Anyways, why do you need MIUI on your 6P? I have had a nightmare using MIUI. And last I used was on the Nexus S.

The permissions and symlinks part is something that worries me, but I keeped the symlinks and permission from original system.img filesystem by mounting it as a drive in linux and applying mods there.
Also, I keeped every part of the symlink script that camed with miui, so it should tecnically work.
If some of you guys helps me testing this, we can do it.
**** WARNING. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE AND AT THE MOMENT, IT DOESN'T WORK!!! ****
Here is the rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!b90GSJRa!7rXM2UhwtEw8M0fbIrK2F3za9w5KTGY1FPD4IGmHu1k
It was ported from the Mi Note (not the pro) which has really similar specs to our device, and this version also includes an italian translation (so there are 3 langs, English, Chinese and Italian)
No ones helping? I really wish i could help you with the testing but as i dont have computer access right now dont wanna brick my 6p without being able to repair it without pc.
Ok, i managed to get the rom flashed... So. The boot image seems almost fine, since i got to the bootanimation screen. There, it stucks.
I don't know how to debug it, since the adb doesn't show up (and is active in kernel)
I activated adb by the use of:
Code:
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
in the kernel default.prop... I don't know if these lines are outdated, but i'm still trying guys.
