Okay guys. So over the past few days I've tried to compile KXP (AOKP for X8, if you didn't know) and failed.....thrice. The main aim behind this was to get
a) AOKP m6 for X8
b) TWRP running on our device
Now a) is still resulting in failures but b)....well, let's just say it can still be worked on. So this is what I've done so far:
I compiled a CWM version (without compiling KXP) just to get the environment ready for building TWRP. Next I edited the BoardConfig.mk to include these lines under a heading of #twrp like this
#twrp
DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 320x480 (the device resolution)
RECOVERY_GRAPHICS_USE_LINELENGTH := true (this line is supposed to improve graphics on some devices)
TW_NO_BATT_PERCENT := true (this line prevents battery percentage display in the recovery GUI)
TW_NO_REBOOT_BOOTLOADER := true (self-explanatory; we can't reboot into bootloader, can we?)
TW_NO_REBOOT_RECOVERY := true (this option never worked for me and so I removed it)
I sent the binary (obtained by typing make -j# recovery after copying the TWRP repo to the bootable/recovery directory) to feherneoh (the dualboot dude) and asked him to use it in a kernel, changing nothing else but the recovery binary. He said the phone didn't even boot.
Now I've noticed there are a couple of other libs and files built with TWRP. And also there's another recovery binary in /out/target/product/shakira/symbol/system/bin.
What I'm trying to do is compile a kernel with this binary. So far feherneoh's failed. And I'm pretty sure there's something else that needs to be done. I know about the recovery GUI images; I will place them in the res folder and try again but I'm pretty sure it will fail.
So i'm asking experienced X8-ians to help me out, especially devs like Daveee10, Rohin, nAa, alfsamsung, djnilse....the list doesn't end.
Looking forward to replies.
