I need the source code...ask the developer for the link to the framework he built this with.

If this is just a deodexed stock ROM, it won't work because the manufacturers don't release source code. But ask the developer, maybe he is building from customized source code. If it is completely open source, I can make patches.

Chemasi commented 10 years ago

Thanks for the fast reply! I asked the developer, will update as soon as I know.

Chemasi commented 10 years ago

No reply from the developer yet, but the developer used the following factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkot49h (4.4.2 (KOT49H). Is this enough for you?

Yeah, that is enough to know that we don't support it, sorry. I thought as much from the build number you posted earlier. Your rom is actually just a deodexed (slightly modified) factory image from Google. Despite the pubblic perception, Google does NOT release full source code for stock firmware. There is lots of proprietary code in there, the camera, the keyboard, the sms/mms...we can only support full open-source roms.

We can support any open-source rom you choose, but off the top of my head, we support CyanogenMod, AOKP, PA, SlimRom, Evervolv, PACman, VanirAOSP, OmniRom and many others. So you will have to choose an open-source rom you like in order to use OpenPdroid and auto-patcher.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. The last update of this ROM is odexed. I will wait for the developers reply and keep you updated.

I patched a previous version of this ROM earlier.

mateor commented 10 years ago

Just to be clear, this rom will probably never be supported by the auto-patcher or openpdroid.

We require a deodexed, open-source rom like the ones I listed. Just to make sure you weren't going on a wild-goose chase.

Chemasi commented 10 years ago

Thanks, I will search for a different ROM.
