OK guys, sorry for the delay, I've had an absolutely crazy couple of months and not had as much time as I thought I would. Some good stuff, some bad stuff, but I'm alive.
Good news though, If you take a look back at the website, you'll see the first version I've made worth releasing. There will probably be semi-frequent updates as I figure out how to work all the kinks out of it, I've got a new build machine that will do in <2 hours what my old machine would fail to do in >6, so that's a big plus, thanks again
franklesby for all your help.
Bad news, I've still got to move
and help my buddy start his business at the same time for a month but after that, I'll be able to pay myself to mess around with Android and this hobby will get closer to full-time support. Like I said, I've had a really weird couple months.
Besides that, I've made some updates to the web site(s), some of them are trivial, and some of them are critical, I'll walk you through them.
First, and the biggest single issue, I've added the firmware blobs to the
android_vendor_samsung_schS738c repository. This won't matter much to you unless you decide to build from source(Which I encourage you to do, it's educational and very satisfying) but what it means is that I should be able to support all the hardware the phone is running. Actually, they're set up from the Galaxy Mini 2 repository created by TheWhisp over at XDA, but it's close enough to get it working from. This is going to need some work still, but it's OK for now.
Next, and once again mostly for people building, I've also decided to work from/with TheWhisp's
kernel sources too. Looks like we all decided to work on similar phones at about the same time, and I was slower on some stuff so I'm going to submit any changes I make to that kernel. The Mini 2 people have their shit together, they've been very helpful.
Finally, and a little more complicated, but also mostly for people trying to build from source, my device tree currently houses some changes to the CyanogenMod code in a slightly unusual way. The reason it's complicated is because it adds an important step to the build guide. This is the
android_device_samsung_schS738c/patches/ folder which is used between the Get Prebuilts step and the Device Specific Code section where you apply those patches automatically. Make sure to check the
build guide.
If you have any problems, sorry in advance, I'll get to them as quickly as I can. I'm sure it will still need some work.
