How would we go about flashing it? And are there screenshots?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
I have PM'd Jocala for screenshots and we have to flash using ODIN 4.43 at the moment. The ODIN 4.43 package is included in the "Returning to Stock" section in the Dev thread. It's in the zip package...

I've included a screenshot in the ROM's thread. For the time being, it's an Odin ROM only. Hopefully, other methods will be forthcoming, but right now my priority is the kernel, then deodexing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pendoric:
I have a suggestion. In Post 1 there is a list of apps that are safe to uninstall. Would it be possible to put a description of what the app does next to the app name.

While it may be safe to remove an app, we could then make a decision if we want to keep it.

Thanks.

Believe me, I think this sucks but it's the way businesses operate. I used to work in service for a company that makes copiers and printers and they were always demanding the service guys give sales leads on equipment that needed to be repaired frequently and could be targeted for upgrades. They didn't want to support old devices, they wanted to sell new devices because that's where the money was.

It does take some balls to sell someone a product you have no intention of supporting and then expect them to continue to buy products from you, but that's what a lot of companies do.

Building Correctly?

I am trying to build Cyanogenmod 7 from source. I already followed instructions to setup the build environment and already repo'd all the github files.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

When I get to the "Copy Proprietary Files" step, I do not know to do this for the Exhibit files because it is not a supported phone by CM.

I've downloaded the source drivers from the Samsung website, and tried to extract all of the modules using AnyKernel from this page.

I am lost now what to do to compile everything.

I looked here, but I don't think I properly "Retrieving a working kernel config from my device" (while running on Peach Sunrise). Then I get lost on the "Merge the build" step where it tells me to follow this link.

I've also tried following the guide on the AOSP website, but I get lost at the "Building the System" step because I am not using a supported device.

I haven't been able to find one definitive guide showing a step-by-step process on building a complete ROM from source or even porting. Every guide I've seen keeps linking to another guide, and then they end up leaving me stuck anyways. Please help!

hey just wondering how i can properly reformat my SD card so I can use all 16 gb and not just the 1 from my old partition, and how does one fix an md5sum error when updating binaries?

I am switching from VM and the OV- fun while it lasted and a great bunch of devs over there!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Repost: Sounds like your card is partly partitioned for extXfs. You may be able to reformat it via clockworkmod.

Edit: sorry, what do you mean by updating binaries? Where are you getting md5 errors?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dwgjr330:
Yeah i have been playing around with the SD card issue- talked to a friend who helps dev stuff and said its b/c of a way Samsung codes their stuff or w/e- but i flashed the swapsd thing and now at least i have 15gb instead of 1gb haha.

In regards to the binaries- Super User tells me my binaries are out of date- I click update and this... (attachment)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Your friend is mistaken. Your external sdcard being split into two partitions has nothing to do with Samsung, it's an after-effect of whatever apps2sd routine you were using on your last phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dwgjr330:
hmm i guess i have to try a few more things then haha

and any idea on SU?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
How did you root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dwgjr330:
zerg rush- i am thinking i may need to uninstall SU and reroot or something (i have CWM recovery and the stripped down kernel of yours flashed too)

What do you think the best course of action would be in this situation?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I'm not sure how you set up your su binary and superuser.apk after running zerg, but if you install a rooted rom or the rooted kernel you should be able to update your su binary w/o problems. Any of the stock roms would probably be your best bet. If you don't care about the camera, cm9 is extremely stable.

1 quick question

how do you fix bootloop?

tkx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Do the factory reset option in recovery.

Also I'm feeling better so I should be able to work on updates for AOKP again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tim1928:
Let me know when its done I would love to test it

[Miscellaneous Android Development] afwolfpacked:
Do a nandroid restore if you did a backup. If not u can try reflashing the rom you had before. I always do a romwipe prior to installing any roms. Make app backups as it saves much time and netqin security does phone number backups that works wonders.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
A majority of the time boot loops are caused by /data conflicts which are fixed by a factory reset. If not that, it would be caused by a improperly built ROM.

I've built a new AOKP test release taking my previous release as a base, then taking the framework and apps from the crespo (GSM Nexus S) new Milestone 5 official build to fix the crashing as well as the kernel from the newest CM9.

Basically what this means is I've combined about three ROMs from two phones and it gives us the features of the latest AOKP and should make it crash free compared to previous build.

I'm waiting a few hours to test it because I always think that the ROM is perfectly stable then I'll see a problem.

USB Host mode?

I'm considering getting the Exhibit II 4G, was wondering if anyone attempted to include the kernel patch to enable USB OTG/Host mode mentioned in this thread:

It doesn't use Android 3.1+'s USB Host APIs, so would work on 2.1+ ROMs too.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Doesn't that need to have a Linux kernel based on 3.0?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
He may be banned but he has a point. ROM Manager needs to be phased out and depreciated as it is too unstable. We should put in applications for goomanager hosting.

The Optimus V developed their own solution from JerryScript called BACKside Updater which is like a simple but fully functional auto update app that hooks into CWM just like ROM Manager. It's fully open source so maybe I could port it.

Heck ya. I have been trying to port cm7 but i cant get the build prop running. I used this guilde http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1598713

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

do you still have that buggy cm7? I wanted to try to debug it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
What did you use as your port? Like what did you use as the stock rom and what as the cm7 port?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
I meant to post a response to this yesterday but my computer rebooted. pixeltrailz was first to ask me to port CM7 in PM last week. At first I thought what you were talking about was building it from source and not from the binary package. If its in a update format and not source code I'm sure I could figure out how to fix some things with it. This weekend I've been researching the solution to get new MIUI updates working. Last month everyone trying to port kept hitting the same issues with no answers. Finally we've come to the conclusion that the jar files in the framework folder have to decompiled or baksmaled or whatever it is to swap out some smali class files from the base to port files to make things work.

Its like as if the update zip was a box and the frameworks jar files (services, policy, framework, etc.) is another box inside of the first box. So that has to be decompiled with apktool and then inside that box which is the jar file there are these smali files that are individual pieces of Java code, like sheets of paper.

So basically its like having to open that box inside another box and keep throwing the right sheets of paper around until something works. The MIUI patchrom project is designed to do this process automatically. But with something that complex there is a lot of conflicts so it is often better to do the process manually.

So that's what I'll have to do to bring MIUI back to our phones. Maybe looking at that process may help you with the CM7 port. I can help once I do get MIUI updated and working. Either way, that was my "cool story" for the week and there's also a chance of whatever I just said is 90 wrong. I tend to think I know what I'm talking about.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bmgreatness:
I used xquisit rom as the base and tried to port the incredible s CM7 because it's the same chipset processor and graphics card
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
I am using peach sunrise and I just happened to have the cm7 for the LG My touch on my computer. I am currently stuck at when I go to flash it I get installation aborted, which I assume has to do with the update script. Did you get any further than that? I found the tutorial a bit confusing with all the Port and Base references.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

I am also trying to port cm7, do you have any idea at all why it would be saying installation aborted in CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Are you using that dsixda Android auto kitchen builder thing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
No I am using a guide I found which basically tells you to move files from a base rom to the rom you are porting to, ie: Peach Sunrise -> CM7 and then editing like 2 files with note pad ++. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1598713

Edit: Also I just looked up Android Kitchen I will check that out, looks pretty cool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but if you want cm7 for our device, the only practical way is to compile it from source. Trying to put some kind of Frankenstein hack together from another project's binaries won't give you anything worthwhile. Start out with a linux partition. Install the android sdk. Download the CyanogenMod7 source. Compile. It's not that hard, and it's not rocket science. There are guides. At least try to do things right, and ask for help if you get stuck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
This is what I just decided to do since the copy/paste guides were not working out, I am installing linux mint right now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Best of luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
That kitchen is a useful tool but for some reason its not compatible with this phone unless you modify a bunch of settings. There is a guide for setup in the Galaxy W forums. That's why I was asking.

Your absolutely right but the process of building from source requires coding and I don't have any major knowledge of how to code. I can help set up the build environment specifics for the exhibit and the make files but not much else.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
I am currently at school when I get home I will be compiling cm7 for this phone if it works out I will upload it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] briot12:
Mind posting your errors? I am trying to learn how to compile the source from the CM repo as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Post questions. I've only compiled cm7 once and that was for the epic 4G, but if I can help I will. For lengthy output, remember to use pastebin.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Well the first step to compiling for any specific device is setting up device and vendor directories. Assuming your porting it to a new device (which you are, and this sentence is pointless.) It would help us if you posted links to the exhibit2-cm7 report on your github.

You have set it up on github, right?

Oh yeah, and I've been trying out that goo manager update on my Kindle Fire and it turns out; no offense but the goo.im mirror download speeds are very unsatisfactory. So as far as file hosting I'd say dev host is teh best option. This week I'm beginning to port JerryScript's Optimus V ROM Updater app to ICS and the exhibit. If anyone wants to test the app when my beta rolls out I will be testing it with CM9 updates and no provisions are required by the ROM developer. The solution works with any web based file download service.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Are you really ready to compile? What steps have you completed so far?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
I have the whole repo synced, I am on Copy proprietary files which I am having troubles with because it says can not find on all of them, but I think it is because I am using a random extract-files.sh since I could not find it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
So, what files are matched and which are missing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Do you have make files actually set up for the exhibit yet?

Actually you can just do it the idiot way and throw the whole stock system dump in the vendor directory. Extra files wouldn't matter because it only takes what it needs, am I right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
I don't know off the top of my head but only about 2 were matched.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] briot12:
Make your own theme or request it. You can try using Ninjamorph.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I'd try the proprietary directory in the cm9 vendor file for at least most of the files you need. I'd also look to download a rom that's close device-wise to ours and look for similarities. Remember, these are off-the-cuff suggestions. May, may not work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KemikalElite:
Yeah, requesting something would be a great idea. You may have heard of a theme called Retro Droid for CM7. You should track down it's thread and see if they have any thing planned for CM9.

I was just looking for an easy to update my repos from my tablet and I found this great app on Google Play called IDE Terminal. It's got everything. Full scale keyboard, git, ssh, irc, a code editor, it can compile stuff, and it has complete documentation for all features along with a full copy of the gpl license.

Now I can develop anywhere at anytime. Completely Awesome.

Well here's a progress report on my roms.

First of unless I find a reasonable way to fix the MIUI updates our progress with MIUI will remain where its at now. MIUI is built by ripping apart the framework of a stock based rom and replacing these files called smali. This makes MIUI even harder to port and fix. The worst part is every time theres anew feature like theme chooser, the process becomes more complicated and causes even more headaches. That's why there's no new updates. Not much interest in the rom either.

With AOKP There's still the issue of fixing the crashing problems. Obviously it can't be fixed until the cause of the problem is identified but logcat hasn't been much help. I tried compiling but I think the repo was being updated because I kept getting build errors. I will try again soon.

Finally I've been looking at this newer Team Gummy ROM and it does offer a lot of features similar to AOKP. I plan on attempting to port it tomorrow and will post a build if I get it working.
