You would need this kernel as your base and this toolchain to build the kernel with.

Download the source:

mkdir -p ~/kernel
cd ~/kernel
mkdir source
mkdir arm-eabi-4.6
git clone https://github.com/szezso/android_kernel_samsung_msm8930-common -b cm-10.1 source
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6 -b master arm-eabi-4.6

Edit your .bashrc with the necessary lines (you only need to do these steps once):

gedit ~/bashrc

And add the following lines to the bottom of the file that appears:

export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE="~/kernel/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-"

Exit, go back to the terminal, and type:

source ~/.bashrc

You're now ready to build your kernel!

Open a terminal again, and type:

cd ~/kernel/source
make szezso_defconfig VARIANT_DEFCONFIG=msm8930_express_eur_lte_defconfig
make menuconfig

Now enable/disable your desired features, or simply exit the config by pressing Backspace and saving yoir changes.

To build, type

make -jX

where X, according to some tutorials, is equal to your cores + 1. So if you've got a dualcore cpu, it's -j3; and it's -j5 for quadcores.

But I don't follow that :D, I use -j8 on my quadcore system. It builds just fine.

Small light of hope is getting closer... Wish me luck! :)

(Damn, I can't use my PC, I haven't got good marks in school, and my parents are angry... :p)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Haha... I know that feeling bro. :D

Although it's summer here, so I'm freeeeee! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
When you get your PC back, could you share some logcat lines on that or something? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
I got it back for some hours, building...
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Which changes are you planning to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
LoL, I've used the wrong CameraWrapper.. May now! Trying it with CM10.2, according to the Express AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
What does "Trying it with CM10.2, according to the Express AT&T." mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Svennen:
Please kill the "hTC Incredible S" that you don't even is using, and work more on our phone that you really is using :laugh::good:

I know someone was giving you one for free "Incredible S" so you would be a slave to that phone for ever, but we also need some support :cool:

Flush it in to the toilet :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] dandc87:
Erm...I don't think it's our place to tell him what to do with his devices or to which ones he develops for. What you/me/all interested parties should be doing is to try and get more people interested in developing for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
I'm sorry. :o I don't really feel that, what I was feeling with the Incredible S, that it needed some work, to be as fast as it could, After some MODs, my Express is very snappy, so I have the feeling, that it's good enough. Anyway, I'm working on the Express also, with CM11, everything seems to be working, except the camera and NFC. I'm trying to fix the camera, I have some ideas now. Because the Incredible S is pretty much done now, I'll work on the Express. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Hmmm, TheFerhatKing wants to build pac man kitkat with szezsos kitkat device tree (because I asked him to do that:D) but he has this TARGET_KERNEL_BINARY error:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Yeah... You go man! :D

I was wondering though, if the I8730 and the I8730T are the same, then why is audio fine on the latter but too fast on the former?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Sparrow40k:
Would a GT-i8730 ROM work on a GT-18730T?

Yep.

When do you think you will be able to release the new version?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
Hi everyone, after being on cm from the beginning my phone is so good. After messing around with Android tuner a lot, I've got it just right. Don't ask me what I did, because I. Just adjusted a few things here and there and that was it, just trial and error i suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] onevdavenson:
So what about the audio bug for the i8730 users?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
Well I'm using gt-i8730 I've got no audio bug, i can't understand why some have it and some don't, got me buggered?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] onevdavenson:
Hmm well, it pisses me off a bit, that some users, including me, got that bug. Because this rom is awesome and this destroys the complete feeling.

EDIT: Maybe it has something to do with the different stock firmwares. When I don't use the original stock rom from Vodafone for mine, I don't get any sound out of my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
In which country are you living and what country code has your firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
I'm in Australia, firmware was xsa. Cm on mine has no problem at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
Hi there, I've spent days searching the Web, and I found a site that says our phone is closely relatedi to Samsung s3 i don't know how reliable it is but it might be worth looking into. Android duck. Com, Androidduck is all one word.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
They might be referring to the AT&T version, which actually uses the S3 kernel for its CyanogenMod builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
Yes that might be, I came across it by accident, it actually popped on my Google now launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Any new progress szezso?

What is the camera doing?

And on which cm version are you working 10.1 or 11?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] timmy5822:
WOW

I found a important thing, if the camera apps dont have been open, it can be successfully open in pic lab and etc,i even can snap a video in snap chat with front camera, wound this help in fix the camera issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Corentin64:
Is the project abandoned or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poondog:
[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION]

did you work out the problem with the fast forward audio yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Are you now an express owner?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poondog:
Nah, I'm from vivo too szezso and I are bros

I remember szezso telling me he had Alvin and the chipmunks audio

Is this still an issue or is it fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] onevdavenson:
It's still an issue, no fix yet
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poondog:
Alright, I may be on the right track. Some changes I made on my m7 kernel gave me the issue. Its do with audio processing and sample rate etc
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
So you will help fixing the Audio bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poondog:
Maybe not sure haha
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Which commit are you talking about exactly?

Have you a fix for that? If so, how can I apply it to uh, say, my kernel, for example?

Sorry about my enthusiasm, it's just that this is one of the reasons why I want to go back to TouchWiz - along with the non-working NFC.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
I was talking about AOSPA 4, since it was still in beta and I was already running out of drive space.

If nothing bad happens, I'll still be in this project for as long as my phone stays fine (read: unbricked). :)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bazzan:
Yes I tried. Will not totally rule out that I did something wrong as this is totally new territory to me.

[MENTION=2413928]ricky886[/MENTION] trying a few things that might fix error 7

This liink explains what is happening and a potential solution

http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/

That will not help if there is something else wrong which i think is likely. So much i really don't understand so trying a few things.

Will share progress or lack of it here

I have tried to follow the education

But it show me error 6:angel:

Can you upload your updater-script file?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bazzan:
[MENTION=2413928]ricky886[/MENTION] updater-script file? Do you mean a functional CM 10.2? Do not have one. I shared what I was doing to try and fix error 7. The link explained the problem.

I think there are deeper problems that we have not got to yet. If we all share what we find hopefully we can come up with a solution

Thanks to arco's help, we now have the CM's official msm8930-common kernel ported to Express. :) This fixed several things:

- Audio works as it should (headset makes the phone laggy, and the sound isn't routing to it, needs some check)

- WiFi works

- RIL works

- Apollo bug fixed (track plays for the first time also properly)

I wasn't able to check the camera, cause I haven't got a CM build atm, so I've tried my kernel, with the Galaxy S4 Mini's CM10.1. :)

But, if it works, what's left:

- Headset issue

- Lock-unlock hot reboot issue

Yohoho! (I love you arco)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Whoa man :D

So I'll just think of this as a sign that CM is pretty close, and nothing more.

P.S. I have been getting a few messages, not only here on XDA but also on my other social accounts, about how the sender wants to be a prerelease tester. I informed them about your decision to iron things out before you release a ZIP into the wild.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] barclac:
It has been very quiet, i gather there is no work done on cm, or have i missed something along the way, i feel like buying a different phone, not that i can afford it, but I'm beginning to wonder if we will get any further advanced, 4.1 is getting a little left behind.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
So far [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] is very close, the only bug is the camera, I've already asked him to release his current build and he agreed to do so after implementing arco's commits.

Where do your sound files come from?

Specifically, /sound/soc/msm and arch/arm/mach-msm/qsdpv_?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:

I'm not sure about /sound/soc/msm (I'm not the device maintainer), so I just took a screenshot of what I hope is the answer:

All the best.

Sorry, but how do we find that out exactly? :(

EDIT: [MENTION=4379011]poondog[/MENTION] we're using 16bit
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] semanty:
thanks，waiting for that. You know, if the CM10 or 11 for i8730 is abandon, i think this phone is easy to be abandoned soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
It's not the right time to assume that :D [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] hasn't been active for a long time, but I still think that's because of his parents. We'll see if the phone really is abandoned once he reports back.

EDIT: I stand corrected.

Now I'm scared. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] poondog:
I believe the audio is being over processed or something.. Problem may be in sound/soc/msm
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
Don't be scared. ;) I've tried out many ROMs (CM10.1 to 11), all of them built fron source, and I always got the same error in logcat, when I started the camera. So, I think, it must be a vendor lib issue. But if it works with Samsung's 4.2, then it supposed to be fixed with CM10.1 at least....
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
What are your next plans?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
I don't know if this will help, but I got a suggestion from StackExchange:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
It must be a missing permission line in the ramdisk... Not tomorrow, but on Tuesday, I'll check some stuffs...
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
[MENTION=5664230]paulwollf[/MENTION] So it really does seem like the CM camera app is unable to release the camera once opened. :(

[MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] I was just curious, but why are there 4 snd_soc_msm files in Touchwiz but only one in CM?
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Yes it seems to be like this. Here are my top 3 bugs:

1. The faster audio (I know some havent this bug)

2.The buggy wifi Logcat: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=692BA9C30A342646!939&authkey=!AFyCJehGkhZwjYU&ithint=folder,

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Hmm, I may have to return to TouchWiz for the incoming school year, I need fully working NFC/WiFi/camera and normal audio.

But maybe to make my stay there a bit more worthwhile; I'll skin the UI to make it look a bit like TW 4.2.2, maybe debloat it, root it, whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] szezso:
I got an idea! What if the problem comes from the kernel? With the stock zImage, the camera works on TW 4.2.2, but with the zImage from the CM kernel, it doesn't... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
I had the same hunch from months ago, but I didn't really pay it much attention because I'm not really much of a code guy.

Anyway, I hope we get it sorted soon!

I have the same issue, which I had earlier with the 3.4 kernel made for 4.1. I can start the camera, can take pictures (FFC also works), but if I exit, the camera process keeps on running (I can see in the logcat), and the the System server can't connect again, because the camera is still open. Video Recording makes the app FCing, but that's only a media_profiles issue. I have the feeling, that this problem can be only solved by using CameraWrapper... So, if I can't fix it, I'll move to KK, because that has the Wrapper source. ;)

Anyway, the ROM billion times faster than the one with the old kernel. Everything happens instantly, truly incredible! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] paulwollf:
Many many thanks for your efforts;) You do a great job!

But can xou give also the buggy wifi and the mutated sound a shot?

Thx in Advance:thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Yeah, about the sound and WiFi issues, you might want to take a look at this GT-I8730 version of the stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jonsr:
Hi everyone,

first I want to thank everyone who made those great things like root, CWM and CM possible for our device :good:. Currently especially [MENTION=4622338]szezso[/MENTION] for his great work on CM.

I own my GT-I8730 for around a year, and visit this and the gereral thread since months, some of you might have seen me thanking.

Currently I'm using Stock ROM again, because a phone with which you can not make calls doesn't makes really sense for me ;) (I even have the audio bug).

But while using CM for arond a month, I even found out a few things:

Camera: You can use stock camera multiple times, those in the quick settings. But I think this doesn't makes a big difference.

Vibration: [MENTION=5246389]aureljared[/MENTION] already mentioned that vibration is different; for me it seems to be more strong, so I was a bit afraid about my vibration motor...

LTE: Maybe it's nothing new, but LTE works.

But the audio bug was the most annoying thing for me, so since a few days, I'm working on it. [MENTION=4649127]barclac[/MENTION] said with his australian firmware as base he has no audio problems. So i flashed the Australia XSA firmware on my (german) device to see if it makes any difference. It did, I had no audio at all :D. Unfortunately I forgot to flash CM again over it; I'll try the next days, even if I can't imagine that this solves the problem.

I think that's all I had to say. Please excuse my bad english, I'm from Germany.
