Perhaps I'm searching the wrong verbage for this, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to install one of these OS's like Bliss or Phoenix OS on this particular phone? Can't seem to find any relevant info on how to compile a GSI or premade image for this phone even though Bliss says it should be able to install on just about any android device. tips, advice, links?? thanks in advance.

I have done a lot of work in building windows mobile roms. I now want to start building android roms as well, but am completly new to this.
I assume like windows rom you will need some sort of kitchen, a base rom etc. I do not know where to begin.
Can any body give me pointers. Eg were to download the compilers and were to get the base roms?
I have seen some sites out there to download the base roms but they seem to need a username and password to access the sites.
Any help would be appreciated. I have tried searching through the guides available but not really any futher on.

Your best bet would be to start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
Thats the Chef Central Forum for Android based builds. But, if you are a beginner to Android, it'll take a lot of reading. Even more if you are new to Linux
To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.
Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.
Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)
Thanks in advance,

Firefox OS for Android One (Sprout) Phones
Anyone built already a flashable .zip file or .img files for Android One (Sprout) smartphones? Anyone can upload the latest version here? I'm not of a techy type of person but it seems like a lot of Android One users are looking for an easy installable ROM for their Android phones. Like this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/flashable-firefox-os-rom-android-one-t3160682
I found this link: https://github.com/b2g-sprout/ however a lot of them are not technically enough and even I don't even know what to do with these files even though I have already tried using Firefox's instructions and some other articles on the Web about Porting FFOS. Full instructions on how to build Firefox OS from the files on the given link would also be appreciated. And also an example on how to update them for the latest version. Thanks for all willing to help... :angel:
Hi, first of all, sorry if this is an stupid question, or if I'm underestimating the difficulty of porting this kinds of software, or if I'm saying something wrong.
I really like GNU/Linux mobile distros like Sailfish OS, Lune OS, Ubuntu Touch and Plasma Mobile, they use Halium for base for using our hardware, Is someone already trying to port Halium for our device or is there already an existing port? That would open a new world of OSs for our device.
If anyone hasn't ported Halium yet I could give it a try; However, I have 0 experience porting stuff, so I can promise nothing, I'm good using Linux and reading documentation and guides though, but I don't know if that will be enough.
Again, sorry if I'm underestimating the difficult of porting, if I'm saying something wrong and if I can't make myself understood.
Edit: I'm not actually working on the project because I haven't the phone. I did a progress when I had it, anyone interested in the project can PM if get stuck or need help or guide. Thanks for everything, great community.
I am so so sick of nobody trying to make LineageOS work for our devices and so I was wondering what I would need in terms of files in order to make a build on which I can then improve and make reliable? I already have Ubuntu and all the stuff needed for making a Rom, someone just needs to point me into the right direction with the files.
Ask Samsung for "the files"
