Compiling Ubuntu Touch for Xiaomi Redmi 1s

alexforsale

the problem I'm having right now is the BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE defined is not passed to the kernel (my last kmsg http://paste.ubuntu.com/13100099/)

I even try to change it from the kernel defconfig (CONFIG_CMDLINE) but it still didn't change

try this tool to check the header of your bootimage

wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56653875/ubuntu/boot_info && chmod +x boot_info
./boot_info boot.img

and look if "Command line:" is correct.

Hi Mario,

I sort of figured out what's wrong, I've unpacked the boot.img using the unpackbootimg from the build, the command line paramater was actually empty. https://github.com/alexforsale/android_device_xiaomi_armani/commit/883d3f8c1c7e5eef97d4e4b21b0c2f5976ded8ac and the command line from BoardConfig.mk is now picked up, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13141705/

now the device is detected from lsusb, but still no adb, i think the partitions are not mounted correctly

pil-q6v5-mss fc880000.qcom,mss: mba: Failed to locate mba.mdt, i did try symlink the firmware in https://github.com/alexforsale/android_device_xiaomi_armani/blob/phablet-4.4.2_r1/Android.mk, the thing is, in the actual CM 11 this device doesn't have the symlink-ed firmware files in the /system/etc/firmware or system/vendor/firmware

update:

I think it got past the mounting process, still no adb detected, but the /data/system-data/ starting to creating logs

from /data/system-data/var/log

from data/system-data/var/log/lxc

from /data/system-data/var/log/lightdm

also there's alot on /data/system-data/var/log/upstar, but I think this is troubling:
