        I'm trying to be the first one to port samsung galaxy tab a7 (gta4l) but I'm having trouble understanding this:

        <project path="device/[manufacturer]/[device]" name="[repository name]" remote="[remote]" revision="[revision]" />

        idk what to do with name,remote and revision

        So can anyone help me?

          @shadan are you using an old guide? I think you should use this instead:

            @faveoled I'm using the setting up the sources

                @shadan looks like there are two ways - one involves compiling full halium source, and the one I suggested involves just compiling your own kernel. I'd prefer the latter as I'm a newbie to this

                        @faveoled that's where kernel config is stored. deviceinfo is outside of sources directory
