Resolved issues
ANDROID_MAJOR_VERSION
Fixed with a patch from another Samsung device (samsung-a3y17lte).
"(vendor file) not found"
I got help from a user on XDA Forums and typed this in the APKBUILD on top of the make command:
 |
There are only spaces. |
objcopy -I binary -O ihex firmware/exynos7885_acpm_fvp.fw firmware/exynos7885_acpm_fvp.fw.ihex
"Unable to find ncurses libs..."
Used the fix-check-lxdialog-makefile and fix-check-lxdialog patches.
Things needed to make it run faster
Vendor kernel
I can't understand which are for the vendor kernel and which are for the normal kernel.
