How to build AOSP Oreo 8.0.0 for the Moto G6 (not G6 Plus, but just the G6) - Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers

I have a Moto G6 device that I need to build a ROM for and I am pretty much stuck at the point where I need to include the proprietary device drivers so that I can compile the ROM. I guess my main issue is knowing where to get the proprietary files and how to incorporate them into my ROM. The device has a separate "/vendor" partition (for Treble compliance) that I was able to use TWRP and ADB to copy the files to my PC by running TWRP and then using ADB PULL command "adb pull /vendor D:\ALI\vendor" to get the files into a folder on my PC and was successful in doing that, but now what? What do I do with them? I downloaded from git the AOSP source for the last build of Oreo (8.0.0_36), so I hope that in itself is correct.
In the past, I have built a custom ROM for the Moto G4 via LineageOS 14.1, so I had a lot of info on how to grab the drivers from a device that was already running LineageOS 14.1, but this Moto G6 is running stock Oreo (8.0.0), so I am at a loss on whether or not I grabbed them from the device properly and now that I have them in folders on my PC what do I do with them and how do I set up the device tree so that I can get AOSP to compile.
So what do I do next and how?

Honestly, this should have been posted in the Q&A Section, and the title is a little misleading. Just saying.
Anyway, as far as building goes, you have a lot of reading and learning to do. It'll take a lot more than that link the other user provided above as that's more for OEM's (but will give you somewhat of an understanding of what it's gonna take to put together a device, kernel, and vendor trees).
There is a lot of info regarding building ROMs for devices here on xda. I'd recommend reading thru those threads/posts for some insight.

OK, thank you, and sorry for posting in the wrong area. It appears that I need to know more in-depth about the actual hardware and what drivers are needed and where they need to go. So more research it is.

[Q] New to Nexus 4 / Couple general Q's

Hello everyone,
I am new to the Nexus 4 community however not new to XDA. I have survived an HD2 and also a T989 GSII. I have had so much success with XDA and I am looking forward to working with community of folks over here. I got a Nexus 4 (being delivered Monday) to enjoy the Android experience. However the more I look over it the more I feel it lacks some of the features that I enjoyed with previous custom roms like Toggles on the notification panel for example. I know there are many apps that will accomplish the same thing but why use all these 3rd party apps when you can flash a decent rom and get a better experience with often better battery life. I am coming from an All Star Developer ROM that is a compilation ROM ( CM10, AOKP & PA )
I apologize for the rambling. I need to know:
1: What is the difference between Original Android Dev and Android Development forums? GSII did not have two forums so I was a little confused.
2: For a genuine NEXUS device, are there still bugs in ROMS? RR, SOD, GPS not working, etc? This is not a huge issue with most GSII roms I just wondered if you guys experience this at all with this phone being stock Android already. I wouldn't think this would be the case.
3: I have done my research and I am ready to move on with rooting and probably Romming. Is there anything else maybe that would be noteworthy that is specific to the Nexus line of devices. This is a vague question so don't worry with it too much. I am just curious.
Thanks everyone! I can't wait till Monday!

1. "Development is classified as original work and/or documented edits and changes made to others work (with their permission) that makes it your own.
Stock ROM dumps that are modified (deodexed, etc.) from the manufacturer's original intent and then repackaged together classifies as development.
Kernel's and Recovery obviously classify as development as they are modified and compiled from source""

Thanks for the info! I guess more specifically I need to know the difference between the "Original" Development thread and just the "Development" thread. Should I refer to one more than another?
Also, in reference to toolkits. I am just curious where the issue lies with that? Because honestly that is exactly what I was going to do. I am not lazy, just efficient lol. I figure why do alot of manual driver installs and command prompts if someone created a program that would do it for you? (I reference links below) Is it faulty software? Badly written programs etc? I would think there would be more room for human error when doing it yourself vs. something automated. What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone else had luck using the toolkits in the links? or any other rooting toolkits? Thanks again!

Because, you learn something very important while rooting & unlocking your phone. Human error is covered for by the step by step guide. Human error while using the toolkit, you're stuck trying to understand what the fck happened. Learn fastboot mate. Learn to control your device to a 100%, learn to fix it if it's stuck. Understand what happens with "fastboot OEM unlock". Do you know what that means btw..?
The difference between Original Development & Development is in the quote I posted above. Paranoid Android = Original.
TWRP Recovery = Original
"XYZ" Rom based on cm 10.1 + abcd theme = Development.

Hey thanks again. I appreciate the input. I have more to learn in the NEXUS forum. I am used to ODIN and other forms of Samsung software so I will certainly read over the tutorial and absorb information. It will also help me to share my knowledge with others.

Here is the source code for the LG Gpad GPE (510)

this includes the kernel source. I am in the process of trying to build a gpe kernel. so far I can get into the menu config but cannot make successfully. I'm going to download a different distro with a clean build environment and try again. If anybody else has ideas and/or answers on how to do this successfully please post here.
https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=lgv510
my attempt to build a kernel will be to allow for gamma correction and for the addition of ext2 to used on the SD card if possible. I have built kernels for my Linux box before but this is quite a bit more involved.

I don't know enough about it yet. one would think that with the source code you could simply build and install GPE on to the framework of the LGE device, meaning the removal of all of the old software in the installation of all new software based on the GPE Kit Kat build.
Apparently, by reading other threads here that is not the case, or they would have already done so. Then again, I did not see anything posted about the source code before now.
Maybe a developer will decide to do something with this, and even better write a tutorial on how to do something that is worthwhile for the GPE. In the meantime I will muddle through.
Just my 2 cents

howdy, I like your idea, but I would also like to see more development for the GPE itself. maybe even a separate forum dedicated just to the GPE as right now it seems that everything is spread out, disorganized and very difficult to keep together for one or the other version. Upon this basis it would be easier to see what items and options are available for one device, without being distracted by the same for the other.
That being said, I definitely agree there should be a collaboration to achieve the ends that you desire, as they will also help the GPE users find what they are looking for.
was I able to successfully compile a kernel? Yes! Yes I did!! Arch/arm/boot/zimage is ready!
unfortunately this does not mean an awful lot of this point all I did was change the name of the kernel slightly and if not adjusted anything else nor do I have it back into a boot image but! This is/was the hardest part I think. Reason being the dependencies for getting this done.
I have successfully compiled, and pushed a kernel onto my gpad gpe 510. Now you can too! I wrote a tutorial at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628951
You will be able to control your device now. No need for a custom ROM if your willing to put in a bit of effort, but I understand if you dont.??

Well... sadly we don't have much. I have slapped together a factory image, but nothing official.
Custom ROM... maybe. CM compiled generically for arm-v7a refuses to even boot to a boot logo.
But, I am working on a flashable zip that contains the normal android version of GNL, Play services, and the Play store, and required labs for generic tasks. In my current testing, it runs pretty great!

That's what I figured :/ BTW I'm not a total noob as this post kinda makes me seem I am an android security researcher by trade. I really want to see the power of this device unleashed so anything I can do to help throw my way I'm more than happy to do anything from testing to fuzzing to building. Lets make this little box as awesome as the random pyramid things make it look!

Is there a way to flash recovery without the dev cable? I have torn my house apart looking for it but I can't seem to find it anywhere?
I found the dev cable and got the ROM loaded. It's works great and I'm excited to start using this device again. One question I have is there a way to add support for BT speakers? I have a sound bar I would love to pair. No luck with the ROM and the original ROM did not support it either.
How do you boot into recovery

Also try modifying you performance settings, on the updated kernel you should be set to ondemand/cfq

Okay thanks looking forward to updates for this rom. Also I was wondering.. For the ROMs for the t530 tabs like the cm12 one they now have. What would need to be done to get it booting... I heard all the ROMs with the same board need is a working kernel.. Idk if that's right but if it is would the kernel for this ROM get the cm 12 ROM booting or does it need a new one?

For the most part that's somewhat true correct, however i haven't bothered because the roms are being packaged with the block setup
as opposed to the tried and true way and i just don't have the patience to unpack that setup and repack it.
To be truthful i think i've gotten addicted to this stuff in a slightly mentally unstable kind of way :silly:
And as such am running multiple projects at once, so if you want to chip in on trying that approach, downoad one of the
sm-t53xx builds, get it unpacked and repacked cm11 style and link me to it, a respectable site, not 4shared or dumbass gator
or any place like that, and i'll see what i can do. my current attempts with bliss keep breaking at camerawrapper issues and gps issues.

First off, thank you for everything you have done for our phones, it's appreciated. Secondly, basically this version has a nicer looking interface and file manager than the official TWRP 2.8.7.0 but functionally it's the same correct? I did read the link you left and those bugs seem workable to me for this nicer looking interface with my a5_chl and as always I take personal responsibility for anything I flash to my phone so I understand no guarantees in this game. Thanks again for your hard work.

it's the default interface for 2.8.7.0 I thought,
glad I linked the official page though because they've updated since last I looked.
if they complain I'll pull the dev thread.

First off, thank you for everything you have done for our phones, it's appreciated. Secondly, basically this version has a nicer looking interface and file manager than the official TWRP 2.8.7.0 but functionally it's the same correct? I did read the link you left and those bugs seem workable to me for this nicer looking interface with my a5_chl and as always I take personal responsibility for anything I flash to my phone so I understand no guarantees in this game. Thanks again for your hard work.

weird, I just downloaded the official and it's structured just like the last one I used.
the file manager and terminal are definitely different in the one I built.
Wonder if it's the theme? the build forced me to pick a 'supported theme' and I went with
TW_THEME := portrait_hdpi
as far as the things I'm doing for the phone....
this one happens to be my new toy, and I'm carrying on the tradition of sharing builds that I've participated in both ends of now; a lot of my first year of having an android phone was learning curve and just flashing things other people had built, ported, or put together themselves.
I totally get how it's nice to have shiny new upgrades for your stuff without having to produce it yourself, and I'm happy to add my little contributions to the open source/prebuilt binary Linux/android ecosystems where I'm just another user at least as often as a producer.
