[REQ] Config file and kernel testers

I don't have enough money to import a GS2 so I'm stuck making kernels without the phone. Could someone please extract the config file from their phone? Also, if you are interested in testing my kernel, please add me on Gtalk at [email protected]

you r from LA, & u rtelling us that u dont have money ??? you want us to believe that ???
come on buddy....

I'm from L.A.? Even if I was I'd have even less thanks to Cali's taxes

I'd like to see the config file too just so I can go browse thru the kernel source code myself.

Its nice to see the support for developers for this device. Takes 30 seconds to pull a config and the only response is someone with a sarcastic post based on a stereotype of Americans.

I hear you. I was sincere though in my interest. I really wanna see the config file.

If the lack of a config is from a lack of knowledge you pull the config file by typing this into terminal:
Su
Cp /proc/config.gz /sdcard/config.gz
Then upload the file here

I can't find config.gz in /proc

Samsung don't include the config on the device, but...
Attached is a copy of my .config from building the KDD kernel from Samsung's sources. AFAIK that is identical to what Samsung used to build the stock kernel on device.

kind of a noob question, but how exactly would one know which of each file of the source code to include to compile your own ROM/kernel? guess my question really is, looking thru kernel source, how can i know if any random file is or is not part of the kernel? example looking thru battery drivers, i can see the max17042 and fuelgauge_sec is used, while other batt drivers are not used but still present. how does one able to figure this out for each folder etc?

There are two options available for uploading your changes to gerrit (Repo Upload or Git Push).
Note: Linux is case sensitive, the items below are written as they should be in terminal
Repo Upload
repo start <branch> <path to repo> | example repo start haloStuff frameworks/base
cd to your working folder | example cd frameworks/base
Make your changes¹ (manual edits or cherry-picked commit)
Stage your changes using: git add <path to files changed> | example
git add packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/statusbar/halo/Halo.java
Alternately, you could stage all changed files using: git add .
Commit your changes² using: git commit -a
repo upload <repo name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Git Push
The same steps as above apply up to and including performing your local commit.
Replace the repo upload (final step) with the following:
git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)
git push ssh://[email protected]:29418/AOSPA/android_frameworks_base HEAD:refs/for/jb43
Click to expand...

How to update commits in gerrit:
Ensure your previous commit submission or the commit you wish to update is at the head of the given repo tree
Make your updates/changes
git add -A
git commit --amend
Append your changes to the description (Do not remove the change-Id from the previous commit)
Use: git push ssh://(gerrit username)@gerrit.paranoidandroid.co:29418/AOSPA/(repo name) HEAD:refs/for/(branch)

** Before uploading anything, please build and test your changes.
1* - If you're cherry-picking a commit that has not gone through a change-Id process, you will not be able to upload it. Simply attempt to upload and when it errors, a change-id will be suggested. Add this Id to the bottom of your commit by amending your original commit statement and then proceed to upload.
git commit --amend
2* - The following format should be used when making your commit statement.
Single project commit example
Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.
* Denoted either by an asterisk (*)
- Or by hyphens (-)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Optional: Include a link to a screenshot, if your change has some visible impact.
Multi-project commit example - Each commit should be numbered [x/y]
[x/y] <Component> : Short descriptive summary (50 characters or less)
<blank line>
Followed by a more detailed explanation of what you changed and why it was changed.
Bullet points should be used where necessary.

Best Practice
It is good practice to retain original committer's credentials, such as making sure the commit author is directed to their github username. Also, documentation of where coding came from if cherry picked would be greatly appreciated (provide direct links where possible).
If your are aware of who the original author is but your cherry-pick does not contain this information, you can fill in the original author name by using
git commit --amend --author "FirstName LastName <[email protected]>"

Sorry, was digging around for an answer and the best explanation I can find as to why it cannot be changed was here:
https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1217
Put bluntly, even if we do change it could break other things in Gerrit. Something I'm not a particular fan of doing.

Ok no issues. thanks anyway.

@Anu6is I cherry-picked from the gerrit and made some changes in the files. I now want to upload the changes. When I give the command git commit --amend I make the necessary changes and when I push the change through git push it creates a new open commit. What should I do.
The changes are mere clean up according to the comments in the initial commit.

You need to place the Change ID of the commit on gerrit as the last line of your commit message in terminal.
You can simply copy the change id from gerrit. It's on the right side of the commit message

2. Decompile your framework.jar
3. Copy dolby folder from extraced file above (step 1) to your decompiled framework.jar *smali/android/pastehere
nb: if you have already installed dolby-framework inside your framework.jar, please delete it first before paste from my dolby-framework
4. Compile your framework.jar
5. Move to services.jar, we need to disable signature on this step (this is maybe make it stuck on dolby logo when opening the dolby app)
nb: if you already patch your services.jar, skip step 5-9
6. Decompile your services.jar and look for /com/android/server/pm/PackageManagerService.smali
7. Find this method:
Code:
.method static compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
-
-
-
-
.end method
8. Replace with

.method static compareSignatures([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/Signature;)I
.locals 7
const/4 v0, 0x0
return v0
.end method
9. Save your services.jar and recompile your services.jar
10. Download dolby_flashable.zip HERE
11. Open dolby_flashable.zip with WinRAR or anything. now, drag and drop services.jar+framework.jar modded to dolby_flashable/system/framework/pastehere
12. Goto your custom recovery
13. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
14. Flash dolby_flashable.zip
15. Done
NB:
1. Another mirror/s is not allowed!
2. If you have another audio tweaks installed like viper/dsp/etc, please uninstall first (it may cause conflict/FC)
3. If you have any issues about compiling *.jar files, try this one -> Baksmali manager i am use it for compile/decompile *.jar files
nb: i'm forget who share that tool, so i just can say thankyou!
4. Free space /system (±) 10MB
5. May will be work on all device running on KITKAT, so let me know it works or not
6. Backup first before doing anything to prevent bootloop
7. If you find any bugs/issues happened, please tell me

How-To:
1. Decompile your framework.jar
2 Download the DolbyDigital-KK.rar and extract. You'll find 2 folders inside, copy the dolby folder (inside folder framework.jar from downloaded file) to your decompiling file
3. And then recompile your framework.jar
4. Copy your framework.jar after finished compiling to flashable folder/system/framework
5. Repack flashable folder to the ZIP
6. Go to your custom recovery
7. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache
8. Flash the file
9. Done

Hi Mate,
I've tried 2 ways since it was not clear in your steps where the framework.jar/android/dolby will go, is it:
1. inside the main framework.jar
or
2. inside framework.jar/smali - since there's an android folder there.
OUTPUT:
1. When I tried to recompile the first one, there's no error but the Dolby app is not opening - FC
2. When I tried to recompile the second, I got an error from the APKtool (tried 2 different APKtools)
Code:
Projects\framework.jar\smali\android\dolby\DsClient$1.smali[207,15] mismatched input '"className"' expecting END_METHOD_DIRECTIVE

No success .. Don't bother..I just wanted to try Dolby but seems it's not gonna be possible...
I do have EBS EOF-EX and Dolby for nexus (don't think that I installed your Dolby on them rather I did dirty flash )

@ocoot Why haven't you deleted the system/framework/dolby.jar from the flashable.zip when you have already included it in the famework.jar .
I followed you tutorial but the content was from another source(Initially that didn't work too) and when I deleted that additinal dolby_ds.jar(of that other package) and flashed the mod , everything is in place and working awesome.
 @eyesfortech you should try this method too .

@ocoot your version works too brother and is very good better than my version with same method .
and BTW why has someone given 1 rating to this thread , don't they realize that it takes so much effort to do something like that .
Anyways Thanks very much.
The dolby gives vitualization , volume boost , bass/treble/vocal boost (whatever you prefer can be tweaked in equalizer ).

J700P CyanogenMod Dev Thread (NEW!)

Hey guys, after the recent collapse of the dev thread by messi, I've decided to try to build CM13 for myself. I've created a thread to post progress and such. My vendor and device trees will be updated periodically on Github until the first working build. In a comment below my post, I will post the current error I get when I try to build it.

CURRENT BUG:
Will not boot.

There are previous error , make clean and post the full error on pastebin

Then that means you and @Starchild2k will probably work down the middle to reach the goal.

If he wishes to do so, then Starchild can contact me and I'll be 100% happy to work with him on that. Until then, I'm going solo.

I don't know what I should do short of removing monkey from the vendor tree; I'm going to try that, though.

I am also willing to collaborate with anyone willing to reach the same goals as I am trying to do!

Okay, that's good, then. You can post any errors you have in this thread. Currently, I'm stuck on this error. http://pastebin.com/mWikijrN
It'd be helpful if you gave me a link to your current vendor tree so I can compare.

I have been still working on that and i have been comparing with the other j7 vendor trees as well to get a successful build

My builds as if late seem to be getting more and more successful. I'm thinking I'm getting close to a complete build.

He is building for j700p (usa model) not j700h ?

your source seems to be corrupt , where is the tree u are using to build ? , i lost connection to hte pc that stores that vendor folder.

Did u ever get through ur errors yet i almost got a build done just need to add install-recovery.sh to my build that was the last error i delt with i had to do some tweaking on the kernel to get the errors to go bye bye im using the original kernel and vendor files and the brunch cm_j7ltespr-userdebug -j4 instead of just make -j4 i got the kernel and dtb built so very close indeed!

yeah i'm working on cleaning up vendor right now. what did you have to do to kernel?

There was broken files and a suggestion you dont need the frameworks folder in the vendor folder it has the touchwiz framework and when ur building u must use the default framework folder or you will have errors

ok i will make clean and build without these frameworks.
thanks for the suggestion. i will come back if i find anything that i think you should know about. i'm going to update the vendor files on github and start building on a remote server

Lol I wonder how u are able to build using this tree
https://github.com/minz1/android_device_samsung_j7ltespr/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk#L27
It looks for msm8939 config while the kernel source only have msm8929 config
https://github.com/minz1/android_ke...arch/arm/configs/msm8929_sec_j7_spr_defconfig
Also no lines for the used architecture or target cpu , it's better to use my tree to save your time and get past many errors.

ugh, okay. i'm curious about samsung's marketing of this device- they claim it's a 615 but it's more likely a 415. i will use your tree instead.
