There's always been a 'how to build' guide on my github readme. :o

https://github.com/KonstaT/android_device_motorola_falcon/blob/b2g_kk_3.5/README.md

 

It's only missing the part of applying patches from the patches directory.

https://github.com/KonstaT/android_device_motorola_falcon/tree/b2g_kk_3.5/patches

Copy patches from the subdirs to a project directory of a same name and apply with

git am -3 patchname.patch

Following that guide will produce fastboot flashable images that match the build from the OP.

Hi KonstaT !

I've seen your awesome work on this ROM two months ago.

I'm currently working on Ubuntu Touch for falcon and I saw you built one already.

But we have a bootloop problem ... FM ? Or qcom/media problems ? I don't know... But you may know ?

Would you work with us on this project ?

 

Thanks again for this unbelievable ROM :D

 

PS : Does it worthing it to use CAF sources for Ubuntu Touch ?

Afaik there is no KitKat based Ubuntu Touch besides for Nexus 5. There's certainly not enough hardware support for msm8226 in AOSP. You don't have any other option than to base it on CAF (or CM11, it's going to be hacked together either way).

 

I'm not interested in taking part in that project. I have one other project in store for Moto G later though. ;)

Ubuntu Touch (utopic) is based on Android 4.4.2.

Thanks you very much for your answer, I'll try using CAF instead of CM11.

What's your other project?

It's too soon to talk about it. I haven't even started yet and I can't promise it will even become something worth releasing. But it's something very different for sure. ;)

 

Currently my priority is to bring up CyanogenMod on another device I recently purchased.

By the way, there is a new Firefox CAF msm8226 release isn't ?

[Guest KonstaT]

Yes, it seems there was one yesterday. Back to 3.5 tags after that one strange 3.4 tag...

You'll update the actual build?

[Guest KonstaT]

You'll update the actual build?

Don't have the time to do it. It's somewhere on my todo list after porting CM11 to my new toy and before starting any other new projects.

What's your new device? (I'm curious :3)

[Guest KonstaT]

What's your new device? (I'm curious :3)

ZTE Open C. It's a low-end Firefox OS device, a lot worse than Moto G. :P

It still a nice device ^^

[Guest DustArma]

I just tried the latest build on my Moto G XT1032 and it works rather well, everything seems to work except for the camera, even USB OTG works.

 

Other than the camera the only issues I could notice are that the light sensor is too sensitive to small changes and the home button uses the wrong icon, it should be a circle button.

[Guest KonstaT]

... and the home button uses the wrong icon, it should be a circle button.

It has the right icon, it just turns into a circle button when pressed. There's a wrong icon in the screenshots because they're taken with home + power key combo (so home key was pressed at the time). ;)

[Guest daanw]

Any news on a new build KonstaT?

[Guest KonstaT]

So a little update. I just made a build from the same CAF tag as my ZTE Open C build is based on. Unfortunately it's not something worth releasing.

 

Camera still doesn't work. Same issue with sensorservice timing out. There must be some strange permission/etc Motorola camera proprietaries require because camera works fine on my Open C build.

 

Wifi tethering is now broken. This was expected though.

 

Most annoying thing is that the display unblanking doesn't work. So when display once goes off, it never comes back on again. It's going to require quite some work to bring the kernel inline with up-to-date display HALs currently used (or hack a build using e.g. CM's display HALs).

 

Plan was to get the common B2G sources unified for both devices so other msm8610/msm8226 devices could easily join in as well. We'll see how that plays out with this device requiring a lot more hacking than the other. ;)

Don't try to use the camera when you very well know it's not working. It crashes all media/audio services and you need a reboot to recover. There's nothing wrong with audio besides that afaik.

 

Did anyone btw test the new build on a xt1033? Would someone finally bother sending some logs if RIL is still not working?

[Guest daanw]

I'm willing to try. Im at work now, i'll report back later tonight.
