I'm not sure why everyone keeps pointing me to that post. If you read my OP, I specifically say that thread does me no good because I'm a Linux user and would much prefer if someone had a link to a RUU in zip format.

I am just a ROM flashing newbie here, for the most part. I have had Android phones for 3 years or so but flashed my first ROM recently. Can you guy/gals please donate something to these developers? I have read some things where the donate to download ratio is ridiculously low.

I don't know what an appropriate amount to donate is. Maybe somebody can chime in on this. I donated $5 for my first ROM and the more questions I ask the developer the more I would donate. I plan to donate some more as I download more and more items.

If you can afford this phone then please donate something to these hardworking people. I don't know how many cans or bottles you would need to collect to get a few bucks but I guarantee the time it would take to get those cans or bottles is way less than the time these developers give to helping us all out.

DONT FORGET the costs associated with many of them having a website and the bandwidth they have to pay for when we download off of their site
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
You randomly read some statement somewhere that says donation to download is low? How about some specifics, such as rom and donations.

Your statement assumes too much, and not in a good light.

Most devs love them but don't expect them; they do it out of passion. Were it a financial burden, they would actively request or find hosts and help.

Also, with all the various rom devs, module devs, cross sharing, and kangers, who is to decide which persons or teams should really get donations?

Who says we haven't or don't donate?

Hey moderators.....can you please delete this thread. I posted originally and really don't feel like getting into an online s h i t throwing session with others even though I am generally very good at it. I appeared to spark a nerve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jooosty:
I think this is a legitimate topic.

Asking for donations never hurt. I guess the right way to say it is, "think about donating to your fellow developer of the rom you are running."

For they are the reason you are enjoying your expensive phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
That's a better way of saying it. When I read the first post, it sounded like whoever read it is being presumptuously told that they're not being supportive of the ROMs they use.

OP, you'd be surprised how willing people are to donate on here. One example is... madmack brought CM10.1 to our devices, but wanted additional support from another developer. The developer agreed, but as long as he was able to have the funds to purchase the phone to test and work on it. In less than a few days, enough people had donated enough for him to purchase the phone, but I had seen that people continued to donate to him.

The premise of this tread isn't bad. Just know that when people on here see good work, they're very very supportive.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-wolff:
created kernel for defy mini

For who is interested:

I created an ICS kernel based upon the motorola sources merged with some stuff from a 3.4 kernel from code aurora.

You can find it on https://github.com/de-wolff/android_kernel_motorola_xt320.git

I think it is capable of everything you need, but I am still working on the CM stuff for it.

(At this moment my phone can start using fastboot, into a CM9 version.I have a working touch screen, a working volume button, audio, when I touch the screen, and a working shutdown. I will commit this also soon, so anyone who is interested, can create his own CM9 version)

If someone can point me to how 2nd boot is supposed to work, I would be very thankful.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootdefyxt320:
2nd-boot is similar to how 2nd-init works where it uses a hijack to and it boots the custom kernel on top of the Motorola Stock kernel. It basically consists of a miniature bootloader to execute 2nd-boot. Can please upload what you have so far? I can help you to debug it. Thanks.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-wolff:
more progress

I am able to make a booting system, using code at:

https://github.com/de-wolff/android_device_motorola_xt320

I produced images and kernel:

http://dewolff.home.xs4all.nl/system.tar.gz

http://dewolff.home.xs4all.nl/kernel

http://dewolff.home.xs4all.nl/recovery.img

http://dewolff.home.xs4all.nl/boot.img

It boots (using fastboot), display working, touchscreen working, onscreen keyboard working.

I am convinced the kernel is complete, but I have still to create a correct camera.lib, and correct audio libs.

Also the gpu is not used (yet), but that is a matter of finding the right egl adreno libraries, and creating the correct libgsl.

If anyone wants to explore it: In system/lib/egl is egl.cfg.

This is a text file. When you remove the # on the second line, after reboot the system will try to use the adreno gpu.

The way to put system on the phone is extract on your system (eg using) remove all files in the existing system, create all directories on the system, and then transfer all files using adb push.

Use the Adreno Libs from the Qualcomm website. Is Hardware Acceleration working? How come it's saying its CM7 in the Github

[MENTION=5013979]MauroSZ[/MENTION] This is the instructions on how to install the custom ROM.

Use these commands in cmd

fastboot erase system

fastboot -w

fastboot boot recovery.img

Now mount /system

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system

exit

adb push system.tar.gz /sdcard

adb shell

cd /system

busybox tar xvzpf /sdcard/system.tar.gz

exit

adb reboot-bootloader

And you will boot into the custom ROM.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilberfish:
Going to try this later. Sounds great!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-wolff:
No, this is when you use a normal boot (with old kernel)

At this moment you have to boot using fastboot:

$fastboot boot boot.img

When I have everything more working, and the rom is smaller (at this moment it is 136M and the gapps are not even installed on it.) I will try to implement 2ndboot in the rom,

And I will also create a more user friendly way to install it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootdefyxt320:
Contact [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] to port 2nd-boot to our device. Upload our stock init.rc and he will find a 2nd-init hijack. Once, we have the hijack, we can boot into 2nd-boot. So I extracted system.tar.gz and adb pushed all the files to it and already did a fastboot boot boot.img to the phone and it gives me a blue screen. I already formatted /system how come I keep getting running out of space. Please give us a tutorial on how to install CyanogenMod to our phone. Just adjust the updater-scripts for gapps so that it flashes it to /flex and symlink it to /flex/app and /flex/lib.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-wolff:
Thanks for your suggestions.

There is a lot to do, and it is a hobby project, so I will do those things one at a time. But when there is progress, I will keep you informed.

Maybe your problem is you are using windows?

(In that case symlinks will be expanded to the whole file)

But there is an alternative way:

Boot into fastboot and do:

fastboot boot recovery.img
adb shell 'mount -a'
adb shell 'rm -rf /system'
adb push system.tar.gz /sdcard/
adb shell 'tar -xzvf /sdcard/system.tar.gz'
adb reboot-bootloader

Could you post a few screenshoots of the ROM? :)

EDIT: Is the look the same or changed?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootdefyxt320:
This is actually CyanogenMod 9.1 aka Android 4.0.4, it's not a themed ROM at all. It is built from CyanogenMod sources. The ROM is extremely unstable, root is broken, GPU drivers are broken and all other functions are broken. Basically it is just a ROM that's just booting up. Only the touch screen is working and ADB working. Make sure you Wipe Data/Factory Reset your phone before installing the ROM! Otherwise you will get a bootloop.

So, I suggest if you are experienced with experimental ROMs, then you can flash it otherwise stay on stock ROM if you are inexperienced. ;)

Hints:

I tried to reproduce your problem, but I got bigger problems.

Possible I did not understand your patch well.

However the problem I see you get (but possible you get more when you solved this one) is that the kernel refuses to compile when there are certain warnings during compilation. Actually this is a problem with many old kernels. When you tried to compile pre-3.0 kernels, it was quite common that you received mass of compiler warnings.

From 3.0 most kernels compile without warnings, so now warnings become meaningful again.

There are several ways to handle such warnings:

1 You can suspress them, by modifying Maklefile or using an old toolset

2 You can add them to a file of 'accepted warnings'

3 you can solve them.

@1: If you want to try option one, open the main Makefile, and search for the line

KBUILD_CFLAGS := -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes ...

in this line remove -Wall.

@2: The folder scripts contains a script gcc-wrapper.py. Near the start of the script is a line with

allowed_warnings = set([

below this are all accepted warning locations. You can add as many as you want

Of course 3 is the best solution, but then you really need to know what you are doing

Good luck, Jaap
