My Question Is How Will the Custom Rom Made From The Aosp Base??

I Really want to learn the Android Custom Rom Development.(Again I'm Telling That I'm Not asking about complier or bulid the rom). I'm asking about the source and how it is made.

I Want To Be a core member.

Giving a Guide To This Question Is Highly Appreciated!!

Thank You Guys
[General Questions and Answers] OldNoobOne:
(t.me) is a good place, they use SDK and Android Kitchen etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Custom ROM sources require that the stock source code be made available to the public by the manufacturer/carrier of the device. If the stock source code for a specific device has not been made available to the public, developers can not create custom ROM source code for that specific device. Developers use the stock source code to create the custom ROM source code and then ROMs are built using the custom source they created. I think that is the answer you were really looking for. You want to know how the source code itself that the ROMs are built from is created. You aren't asking about the fruit that comes from the tree, you are asking where the tree that bears the fruit comes from. Am I right?

The only way to get custom ROMs on devices that do not have stock source code made available is to port custom ROMs from a similar device with the same architecture that does have available source code and custom ROMs made for it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't think that is what they are asking.
[General Questions and Answers] JaswanthTeja:
Yeah, I Want To Know About Android Arc
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I answered the question. If you specifically want to know how developers convert stock source code into custom ROM source code, you probably will not find that answer here. Most of the people here work with the stuff that the LineageOS team creates from stock source code after the custom ROM source code has been created, they are not part of the process involved in creating the custom source code. It is like being a construction worker, the construction worker does not create the material that he uses to build a house, someone else creates the materials and then he uses what they created to build a house. Google and the LineageOS team create the material, the developers here use what they created to build the ROMs here.

You should try going to github or the LineageOS website to ask your question.

Hi guys!

I've got bricked HTC 4350 from one of our employees - seems it has drowned :)

But in some way it still works - it boot into bootloader (RGB screen), connects via usb, I can even flash it with official RUU. But after flashing ends it still boots into bootloader. Tryed to fix it using mtty but recieved message that task command is unknown.

Maybe you have any ideas how to unbrick it?

Or it is lost?

Thanks in advance!

[Google Pixel 6] Grimmerio:
I decided to go back to - my Pixel 6 phone was in beta testing on Android 13. I decided to go back to android 12. I have left the beta testing program. The update was sent to the phone after my phone turned off and no longer turns on. Only in recovery mode. At the same time, it does not work to flash through ADB Error when applying the update: 7 (Error code: :Error opening the installation device). Maybe I need a OTA firmware from 2022-06-05
[Google Pixel 6] Deleted member 5488459:
I am in this situation, I was using Android 13 for a while and recently installed Beta 2. After two days I found that I was returning to Android 12, opt-out from the Beta program, entered the update and the phone suddenly turned off. Of course, I didn't enabled USB Debugging. I started reading articles on Reddit that the phone was already bricked. I have been fighting this Pixel for 4 hours now, I will let you know if something can be fixed.
[Google Pixel 6] Deleted member 5488459:
Okey. I was able to fix it! First and foremost, do not make my mistake and know what the difference between OTA image and Factory image is. I downloaded Factory and got errors with a wrong signature.

- OTA for phones with locked bootloader (sideload)

- Factory image for phones with unlocked bootloader (flashing)

The OTA image version cannot be older than the current one.

Download latest OTA image, you can download one here:

Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

developer.android.com

Download and install latest Google USB Driver (i recommend to reboot your PC after that):

Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers

The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

developer.android.com

Download and unzip Platform Tools:

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

Open CMD in unzipped Platform Tools folder:

Turn your Pixel into recovery mode (Video here) - power button + volume down button, choose recovery mode using volume buttons and press power button, after that you should see black screen with small android image and No command text, then press and hold power button and press volume up.

Choose Wipe data/factory reset.

Connect your Pixel to the computer.

Go back to CMD and type adb devices, you should be able to see your Pixel in sideload status.

On Pixel choose Apply update from ADB

Still in CMD, type adb sideload path_to_the_OTA_zip_file for example:

adb sideload C:\Users\PixelUser\Downloads\oriole-ota-tpb3.220610.004-988fd1c3.zip

Wait until end of sideloading.

Done.
[Google Pixel 6] Grimmerio:
Yep, thanks for answer. It will helped me, but i already did it. My mistake was do not the wipe. It cause all trouble. Sorry what I didn't close this question.
[Google Pixel 6] Deleted member 5488459:
That's okey, maybe somebody else will need help. ;)
[Google Pixel 6] elova78:
Hi.I also have this issue. Were you able to achieve this without usb debugging enabled?
[Google Pixel 6] Deleted member 5488459:
You don't need USB Debugging if you want to sideload. OTA or “over-the-air” update can be flashed with relative ease and will not restore any of your app or system settings when applied. To go back to a previous Android version, you will want a “factory” image.
[Google Pixel 6] martdtmor:
Hello, I can't solve the problem by cmd, I get a message that I can't read. What am I doing wrong? I was in android 13 beta 3.3 and I have left the beta program to go to A12 and it no longer works, I follow the steps but the error appears
[Google Pixel 6] Grimmerio:
You should change name of the file. Like update.zip. and do you have all drivers installed?
[Google Pixel 6] elova78:
Make sure that you perform a data wipe from recovery before attempting to sideload. This fixed the same issue for me.
[Google Pixel 6] martdtmor:
I have already done it and I get this
[Google Pixel 6] elova78:
Have you attempted sideload since data wiping?
[Google Pixel 6] martdtmor:
I have already solved it thanks to your advice

thank you very much and very grateful
[Google Pixel 6] ackmanx2:
Hopefully this helps someone, but for an experienced noob like me I had trouble getting into recovery mode because my device was seemingly stuck at the "Your device is corrupted" error screen.

@pindlosz1 directions helped, but to get into the recovery for my Pixel 5, I had to hold the key combination (power + volume down) for about 20 seconds or so. While holding them it went to the Google logo but _keep holding it down_ otherwise it goes back to the corrupted screen.

Eventually I made it to a menu where I could select recovery. The phone did, again, show me the corrupted device screen, but this time continuing went to _No command_ screen instead of a boot loop. From there, I pressed power and tapped volume down and was at a recovery menu.

Finally, the rest of the steps worked, _except_, upon restarting it still said corrupted device. However, I was able to continue and it loaded Android.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Tom100%:
When I restart there is a message in tiny letters that shows for just one second on the home screen. it says "Wczytywanie, prosze czekac", which is Polish for "Loading,please wait".

This is quite peculiar - Asus is a Taiwanese company. Anyone else have such a message?

Any idea how it got there?

EDIT: I replaced the Asus clock with a clock widget that has no trackers, no adds, and only one permission (set alarm). It's from a Polish developer and the loading message pops up briefly before the widget appears on the Home screen after restarting the phone. Mystery solved.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MaraMary:
Hello friends,

I have a problem with the camera. When I want to take a photo I have to set the 0.9x zoom to focus the scene. If the zoom is 1x, the photo is blurred. Another problem is that the QR code cannot be retrieved. This is worse because you can't change the earth here. So I can't load any QR.

I have had the phone for exactly 2 years, a month ago everything worked fine. Why? Does xiaomi want me to buy a new cell phone?

Interestingly, the same problem became a colleague at work. She has A40galaxy and she's just like me.

Will root and upload another firmware help?

Thank you very much for the advice and tip

[Touch HD General] cojones:
hmm, yes, i found this but that is to lock the device using the long press end key.

What I am looking for is the setting where (at least on the diamond) you specify that the device locks all the buttons a) all the time b) none of the time or c) only when device is locked. i'm sure it was called button lock or similar.
[Touch HD General] TFH:
That´s my problem, too. I would like to power on my HTC by using the volume buttons because the "power on" button is so small. Too small for my fingers :)

This = power on the HTC by using the volume button = is a possible option on the HTC Kaiser und Diamond.

Another question: Does a registry key for the button lock exist?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogertwo:
Hello everyone!

I found my old Galaxy S6 lying around in my home and I decided to use it as a development phone. The battery was bad and the usb wouldn't connect with my pc anymore. When I connected it it on Windows it gave bad descriptor errors for some time, and then it wouldn't get recognized anymore. I thought it was the USB connector board and since it was hard to replace I gave up and bought a new phone.

I recently decided to risk replacing it since I have no use for it anyway so I got a battery and a USB connector board replacement. I managed to do it and the phone looks good, except the USB still doesn't work. On windows it doesn't even get listed in the device manager and on linux the dmesg command gives this output:

[4249.142864] usb 1-1-port3: attempt power cycle
[4250.314394] usb 1-1-port3: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[4251.170460] usb 1-1-port3: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[4251.171100] usb 1-1-port3: unable to enumerate USB device

I don't know what to think. I also thought the stock firmware got corrupted last time I flashed it but I can't try a different one since the USB is broken and there's no root on it. At this point I think the issue is either the software or the motherboard, but the phone is good except for the usb so I don't really know what to do.

Do you have any suggestions? Is there a way to flash a custom firmware without the USB?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Carefully check the ribbon connector pins for damage.

Was the replacement port PCB the correct one?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogertwo:
Yes the PCB is the right one, it's a very specific board with the audio jack, capacitive sensors for the back and task-manager buttons and the usb connector. There's no ribbon cable, it's just a connector that snaps into the motherboard.

And everything is fine on the board except for the device enumeration. It's like either the firmware can't get the USB up or there's some other kind of issue in the main board.

The problem is I can't try flashing another firmware since I can't get root on it. I also tried apk based roots but it seems they've been patched on my android version (7.0)

EDIT: there actually is a ribbon cable connecting the usb board to the motherboard through the snap connector, but being on the replaced board I guess it is fine. I also checked the connector on the MB side and it looks okay.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Was the old port PCB known bad?

If not, probably a blown mobo.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogertwo:
Not confirmed, but I assumed it was since the USB was broken... the charging was slow but that was probably due to the dirty connector. At this point if it's a hardware issue then it's the motherboard...

Isn't there anything I can do to root the phone without the USB? At least I would be able to use adb wifi debugging and make use of it as a dev phone...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogertwo:
I have an update. I tried using an old pc with USB 1.1 ports and a linux live distro and it somehow recognized the phone. It was working fine so I got into download mode and I tried flashing TWRP using heimdall. I had some issues so I had to compile the latest version, but the flashing process stops when reading the PIT data.

I installed windows and tried with Odin, same result, it works until "Get PIT for mapping" and never goes further...

I also tried different USB cables, ports with the same result. Could there be an issue with this "PIT"?

What is a Samsung PIT file? What does it do? Which PIT file to use if there is more than one? We answer this and a lot more in this explainer article!

ihax.io

It's possible you suffered a SEU, they are rare but can happen at any time. The data effected is completely random, it can be any data on the flash memory including the PIT. Restoring the corrupted data is the only fix.

The hardware will be intact if this is the cause.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogertwo:
Well, that would explain why the USB suddenly stopped working, but it's like a one in a billion chance. In the meantime, with no other idea coming to my mind, I officially give up and use the phone with stock firmware and no root.

I will install userland and use it as a raspberry with touch screen lol.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunnyYolk:
Hello. I recently got a Hisense A9, running Android 11 / Hisense's Ink OS with Snapdragon 662. It's a Chinese phone so doesn't have Google Services, and since it's pretty new / not very popular nobody has rooted it yet, and I can't find stock recovery or boot images.

I've been trying to extract the stock recovery.img so I can build a TWRP tree, and then hopefully extract the stock boot.img from a Nandroid backup, but I can't find a way to extract recovery.img from the device (without root access). Is there a way to do this?

I also looked into using MicroG to replace Google Services, but the ROM needs to support signature spoofing, which this device's doesn't. Apart from the 2Accounts workaround for Chinese phones, is there a way to get Google Apps / Services working on this phone?

[G1 Android Development] neerhaj:
i think between the next couple of SDK releases, we should have it.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
I'm actually looking to implement this myself.

You can grab the Launcher code from the android git tree and then implement the changes to allow 3rd party widgets... it's actually not that hard to do.

The problem I ran into is that all apps are sandboxed from eachother. Ie, one developer's APK might have a widget, but the Launcher would have no way to access the classes in that APK due to the sandbox.

The way around this is to use sharedUserId, but that requires that both widgets are signed by the same private key. There may be some security issues with that.
