Finally. Thank you! A link to the source code (actually the config files is just what I looking for).

So, since I have your attention, I see a couple of roms from people like vo-1, what is he doing just compiling the source (I have asked him, no reply)?

On the ROMS based on ROMS thing, while there is technically no source code you put through a compiler - there is still source - it is a list of all the changes made to that ROM.

I also can't believe people don't seem to use any sort of build environment - as in a build script - how else are we going to document what's been done and/or recreate it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] divereigh:
Yes I agree this does not apply to everyone. Some people do post source. I suppose my frustration was the source seemed to be forgotten and it shouldn't be so hard to track it down. Maybe I have spent too much time in the Linux world, where source code is king.

I will kick off a make on the source that EmoBoiix3 linked to (thanks mate) and see where we go from there!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
A lot of roms here are based off other roms. So much they don't build it themselves, just some editing of the zip.

Other developers merely want to save the technobabble since most xda users are blind to programming.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Spex:
still wrong section

this aint a source

this is a discusion so its supposed to be in general section
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
Should be in general section IMO.

But I fully agree with the OP. It is true lots of ROMs here are "cooked" from other ROMs and are not "developed" denovo. They are "theme" packs.

But for example we have two groups actively working on builds of CM 7.2, they each seem to be building from source and tweaking fixes in. It would really help if everyone used github. Pull a source, build, fix and commit to your fork. Anyone else can see what you changed, what revision of the tree you used, and can learn from your work and it could perhaps inspire them to fix something else, to contribute back to make *your* build better.

Sharing your code, even if it is just 5 line hack on teamhacksung / cyanogenmod /AOSP source, honours the GPL and helps our community grow stronger.

The GalaxyICS team is a great example, I can see where they've pulled their sources, what (hard) work they've done in what components. They are contributing all their work and knowledge back. And their fixes can be pulled into other projects easily, speeding up development and sharing that knowledge for everyone.

A phone like the Ace continually loses developers as they migrate to "better" phones, and we really need to share as much knowledge as possible to keep our software
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Sometimes , changes just cannot be shown.....like framework-res tweaks!

Herpderp Defy.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] divereigh:
What sort of tweaks are you thinking of? If it's a replaced image file, then that can be a separate file copied in with a script. If it's a changed text file, that can be done with patch or sed.

Let me give you an example of what I did with kevinlekiller's The End 2.5o rom. He based it on a vo-1 rom and did a fair number of replacing files, odexing etc. I produced this bash script (attached) along with his extra (binary) sources which I think replicated what he did. Self documenting! Everyone can see what is in there, maybe even change it again.

More details towards the bottom of this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1440396&page=31
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kevinlekiller:
I see where you are coming from and I sympathize. I'm not a developer, because I don't have the time and patience to work on source code , compile , debug etc.

The Rom's we have for the Galaxy Ace are already very good, the developers that have worked on them have/had the time and patience to iron out most the issues. So for me to try to come out with something better would seem futile.

I still like customizing these Rom's to a way that work better for me, and it doesn't involve having to spend lots of time, because like I said they are already very good. So it just ends up that a few files are added or changed.

Is that a bad thing? I think those that think it is should just not use those types of Rom's, everyone has a right to their opinion.

At first when you asked me for sources, I thought you meant the source code, since I already listed everything that was used in the first post. But then I realized you wanted direct sources (links) to those files. This is something I will do in the future, post the links of every file, I agree with you , things should be more documented, it would save everyone time instead of trial and error and possibly even giving up.

Anyways, I should conclude here, it is getting a long read.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
nice script, thats for sure :)

but u shouldnt expect everyone to be as geeky and provide such build script.

theres a big different between "providing source" that is mandatory by forum rules and "providing howto step by step" like in your script.

hell most of the roms (the one that is based on previous precompiled rom) were created 100% on windows machine without even touching linux, and maybe the rom creator (modder) doesnt have any clue what in the world is linux. maybe they even dont know that their windows machine do have terminal (cmd). so arent u asking for too much?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kevinlekiller:
Actually I only have 1 windows pc, all my other PC's are ubuntu / linux mint installed on them. I use windows on the main PC because most of my games work on it.

Edit: And, I didn't take offense to your post :) , it is valid, most people have no clue about linux.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
and no offence intended :) and sorry if anyone feels my post abit too offending :o :o :o

my point is a rom created from previous precompiled rom can be created 100% on windows machine.

in that case the rom also doesnt have sourcecode because it were created from already precompiled rom.

so if the modder just give a valid link to what he put/change it still suites the forum rules to provide source.

let say i've modded a cm rom, i've include ketuts oc kernel, i've include a launcher, and a filemanger, and a theme.

so if i just provide a valid link to the original cm rom, a link to ketuts oc kernel thread, a market link to the launcher, the filemanager and the theme, thats a valid source because the rom were modded from binary precompiled rom/kernel/launcher/filemanager/theme.

so the link to those binary precompiled rom/kernel/launcher/filemanager/theme is a valid "source".
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ino-xda:
I agree. There are two groups of devs:

"Real" developers. They provide repo links and detailed changelogs.

Modders. They should provide repo links and detailed changelogs.

A repo has the benefit of allowing peer review. Peer review improves code quality just like user tests and their reports do. Afterall, this is what XDA is about.

What I like about XDA is how people eagerly send in "works" notes. Not much information, but better than just trying out and telling nobody.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] biswatmak:
Exactly guys......it seems cyanogenmod has become the only alternative and devs here are only editing it and bringing out new firmware versions. Some also edit stock roms..........but no one here gave a thought of creating a new genre of custom rom right from source.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] King Kaze:
its not as easy as it sounds, thats why the two main dogs are miui and cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] divereigh:
I get that. I essentially built an interpreter and a source file (the build instructions). Way too much for most. However I think it would be great as developers if we provided be packaging tools so that others can use them and provide repeatable builds and automatically documented builds ("read the source luke").

Agreed, it isn't mandatory, however for the purposes of educating and peer-review it would be great. So my challenge is to make this easy for people.

So we need a graphical version for Windows..

Why my phone doesnt show any notification when i connect usb.

I cant connect my sd card storage to pc, because there maybe a phone problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Since when?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
In MTP mode or MSC mode?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jonke11:
Since i reflashed custom system files, but i reflashed to stock again, but it doesnt work.

Maybe something in system?

Phone showing that he chargeing, but usb promt doesnt showing in statusbar.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jonke11:
Oh, sorry for bad english.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jonke11:
When I plug the USB cable into the XPERIA NEO phone and then into the PC the Mount option in

the notifications never shows up. The usb cable

is fine because it does charge and the drive icon

shows up in the PC, however, when I click on

the drive it says please connect the drive. If I

pull down the notification bar it isn't recognizing

the usb as being plugged in / doesn't provide the

option to mount / unmount the device. If I go

into application settings and then development i

can select the usb debugging and when i

connect there it brings up the popup that asks if

you want to allow or not, if I select yes it does

say usb debugging connected, but again,

nothing shows up in the notification bar to

actually mount the device to the computer. The

phone was reset to "factory settings" already

and there's nothing on it apart from what came

with it right now. How do I get to mount it to

the PC and get the mount notification back in

the notifications drop down??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
settings->Sony Ericsson->Connectivity:

check what is set under "USB connection mode", and if it's set "Mass storage mode(MSC)" check if you marked "Auto connect on MSC"

Hm, but even then you should get a message in notification bar:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jonke11:

I restored my backup 2.3.4 via cwm.

And thats all, usb doesnt work.

That cwm backup i made long time ago.

Clear everything (factory reset) and reflash "properly"... backing up or restoring an OS or ROM is not a great idea, integrity wise.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:

Hey guys,

Upgraded to 7.0.1 stable mod of CM7 this week on my LG P990, now my phone boots up backwards (or mirrored or back to front etc)

Have you tried the latest temasek kang like was suggested above? Also, try reflashing and full wipe again, and one time more. Sometimes it doesn't work perfectly at the first flash. It has happened to me on a LG GT540. The first time I flashed the phone was acting up weird. Second time, same ROM, it was perfect.

and I am trying to put cyanogenmod (update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed)

Custom MTD is not working in my phone as it is not S-off.

All i need is to make my phone working. But installing cyanogenmod is not helping as the data partition is full.

Please anyone help me..

Thanks in advance!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciaosimo:
hi devs!

It's been a month (or less) that my NS GSM can't connect to 3G network!

I flashed new baseband and now i'm on CM9 2.1. When I switch to 3G network (I know it's a bit slower) even with the secret *#*#... menu and I get ICS grey bars or blue bars but no way i'm getting data!

I tried also to delete some files in /efs folder and rebooted...Nothing.

Even with the trick of changing radio band...Nothing!

Performed a factory reset (+ relock/unlock bootloader)...Nothing =(

I know I'm a bit hungry of flashing new ROMs and taste new flavours of ICS, but I cannot live without 3G in Italy! That's so lame!

any suggestions? (maybe the SGSII is better)

You need to make sure you choose the appropriate radio for your phone. Please choose appropriate from following thread:

Now, remember that deleting files from EFS folder is really dangerous. You might end up with a bricked phone (as CONTACTMC stated). You might want to restore this from a working set up you had before.

After flashing correct radio, make sure your APN settings are correct according to your service provider (from ICS roms some of these are extracted automagically :-))

So, after replacing my flex due to a broken power button, I seem to have broken the LCD-connection on the mainboard itself. The screen is going black, so that is definately the problem and I will need to replace the mainboard itself (not the flex)... Couldn't find it anywhere for less then 200 dollars, but i have found a mainboard for a HTC Desire thats cheap. I know they are very similair, with pretty much the same hardware.

The question is, will it fit the Nexus one and work??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezdi:
From pictures they sure look the same, but there might be issues on the software side with the different buttons/trackball.

You're right, the thing is that i live in the UK, so in September 2011 i go and buy the nexus for 200 pounds brand new with a 16gb memory card etc... after two months of usage the power button broke down, so i bought a new flex, which caused me to break the lcd connector. So, since i havent used it that much i don't really want to throw it away, since it is still brand new... and the motherboard i found is very cheap. It's cheaper than the flex or AMOLED... So i might as well.
