Extracted img from 'L' now what?

zbt1985 · Jun 26, 2014

Hey all,

I extracted the img file from the dev preview of 'L' from the Hamerhead version.

I'm new at this and it's really cool to explore and see how these things are built. Can I just pull the framework from 4.4.4 and throw it into the img and flash that?

What would it take to be able to flash this? I'm sure I can't, but maybe someone could enlighten me on what goes into this as I'm really interested in learning.

Thanks in advance!

Well, there are some guides for porting on XDA. However, since the Android L Source code isn't released yet, you cannot build it from source. So you would need to base it on a Kitkat rom. But since the radio, bootloader and apps from Android L require android L, you cannot just do that.
So a port would need to change drivers, frameworks and some other stuff I don't understand

. However, some guys already started porting Android L to the Nexus 4, and , no offence, I think they are done much quicker as you (or me). So take a look: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/android-5-0-discussions-rumors-t2780976/post53701458

Awesome! Thanks man I'll take a look!

I was just exploring, I know I probably couldn't do it, but it's fun to learn!

Thanks for not flaming!

There's a reason I don't really post/go on xda anymore. It's all a bunch of crying flamers who constantly ask for updates and complain when **** doesn't work.

That and the fact that I have a nexus so i'm not flashing roms every week lol

I'm on here a lot more than usual. I'm between jobs now and at home. Will be changing next week though. One of my biggest pet peeves is those who won't take the time to research stuff before asking/demanding help. Answer is in the OP, but they don't bother to read it. Burns my hide as they say. ?

+100000000!!!!
Then you get called a douche for telling the person to read...

Sigh..
XDA isn't what it used to be. Just a bunch of spoiled kids.
