Android 11 - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

Will the developers port Android 11 (AOSP) to the Galaxy A205G?: D: D

Well, they did already. Just go to this page and pick this file
system-roar-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
That should fit in your system partition.

At the moment only GSI's are available - They aren't stable. Someone mentioned that they are building the device tree for the A20 (not sure how true this is) - from there they will start making custom AOSP ROM's for the device.

[Q]How to build a custom rom from Open Source?

if there is a way to build custom roms(completely usable) from samsung's open source?
wooooooo thats a loaded question.
In short - not really the only thing that is "open" is the kernel and whats left of Android it self....
The rest of the OS has been haggard up by touchwiz and is closed source.
This is essentially what the CyanogenMod project is.

[Q] How to build Paranoid Android from source

Does anyone have a recent or mako specific guide on how to build Paranoid Android builds, I'd like to cherry pick a few smaller features into the already powerful ROM.
Would following the OmniRom guide and basically replacing the Omni values with the correct Paranoid Android values work out? Or is there other specific stuff I need to do?
I've got Ubuntu 13.04 & currently building OmniRom whenever I see there's a bit of a decent update but other then that I'm pretty much a noob .

Basically just clone the PA source, add the mako specific stuff (kernel, device, and vendor from TheMuppets repo) and compile. If you have any other questions just ask in the thread a linked above.

AOSP Port to Qualcomm Note 4 (trltexx) - N910G

Greeting Developers :angel:,
I am new to this ROM building/porting process.
I want to install Vanilla Android on my note-4, so after questioning Google number of times, I came across official Android development guide on official Android website: https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
I have downloaded the Android source locally and was following various Guides and tutorials from XDA-University & forums only for the development process. http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code
I discovered that for downloading/configuring the build for a specific device(trltexx), we need to create a localmanifest file that contains device tree, vendor and kernel configuration links for repo syncing.
Now, I want your expertise to guide me forward from this point. Questions being:
1. Can I use CM or other projects (eg. AICP etc.) device configurations for this AOSP project.
2. Can I use these configurations for cross-version android build, say if I want to compile version 6.x, can 5.x configs can be used. (Manufacturer will take several months to release version update)
or Create new configurations using some guide/tutorial/book or something.
In XDA, I know I'm at the write place posting my questions and asking for expertised help.:good:
Thanks!!

Noob question about compiling AOSP from source

Hi,
I want to learn more about Android kernel development so I'm trying to compile AOSP (Android 7) from source for my Nexus 7. I have prior experience doing Linux kernel development but the real hurdle for me is the Android build environment.
I have checked out android-7.1.2_r39 with the proprietary blobs for Nexus 7 and I've made it to the point where I need to choose a target.
However because I'm trying to compile Android 7, `full_grouper-userdebug` does not show up on the build target list when running `lunch`.
Is it enough to grab the /device/asus/grouper directory from a tree where it is included and add that to my AOSP tree or is there something else I need to do to compile Android 7 for this device?

Original Samsung kernel sources for SM-T813

Hello,
For those interested in the original kernel source code for the SM-T813 :
As I am learning how to make ports for Android, I am trying to train on the original sources of the Linux kernel for the SM-T813.
After several weeks of research, I couldn't find the origin of the different kernel repositories.
Also on https://opensource.samsung.com, it was impossible to find the sources. So I contact them at the end of January to have an access to this sources...
... And they are now available !
You can download them on https://opensource.samsung.com (search SM-T813 at mobile phone on release center) or on my repository at https://github.com/Akipe/android_kernel_samsung_gts210vewifi_original_samsung
It is based on the T813XXS2BTK3 firmware with Android 7 Nougat.
I will see to ask for sources of similar tablets.
Will this help with porting new Adnoid version to these tablets?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think so,
Kernel sources for this tablet already exist, and are ported to newer versions.
It is more useful for those who want start from scratch, and want to inspect the unmodified source code.
But my goal would be to successfully create from scratch for the SM-T813 LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7); and then try to move to the latest versions.
Since I am a beginner, I still have a lot to learn, and I don't have much time, so we will see
