[08/03/2019] AMlogic Tools [6.0.0][A new milestone][Donate Version Available]

[ricky divjakovski]

Im in the process of heavily dedicating time to this tool, newer issues have came up with 8.1 R4 due to file contexts and make_ext4fs versions, im in the process of compiling make_exts4fs with the fixes for this but its not looking good, im having issues compiling Cmake V3.10 or newer

So what ive done
-Downloaded newer version of Cmake and attempted a compile with cygwin
-Set the USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB and USE_SYSTEM_CURL to OFF
-Furthering the compilation i get
"CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
CURSES_NCURSES_LIBRARY"

After that i tried using Cmake 3.6.2 and getting issues with libz git unable to obtain SHA-1

If anyone is able to help here, please let me know, im not very experienced with cygwin or windows compilers

Hi Ricky !

I am a non-dev who has been playing with LibreElec.tv and discourse.coreelec.org ( Kodi JeOSes derived from OpenElec) on X96mini , A95X and MXQ pro 1/8 G boxes.

Looks like very useful work ! Read the thread and your short 12 min video:

1. What is the "donate version"? Different from v5.5 current?

2. There are recent comments saying v4.xx is fine and v5.xx is broken.
Which Android versions are fine for v4.xx vs 5.xx? Which version (s) supports logo unpacking/repacking?

3. Do you have plans for building Amlogic tools for Libreelec/CoreElec type JeOSes? Or perhaps point me to any guides /tools that might already be available?

4. How about a guide for a custom Amlogic Android ROM that can focus on Kodi + Android media players like Terranium/Mobdro/IPTV Player etc with TVheadend and Plex support ?

5. Of course a more detailed video(s) would help a lot !

Cheers

What Shippy friend suggested and perfect!
You ricky divjakovski d and your tool would certainly break taboo! and move to the highest level of contributions to the ARM community.
This tool spread throughout the world and great contribution,
If it is possible to do the same with Libreelec and coreelec certainly and a gigantic contribution!

I used your v6 and in level 2 l did not detect the vendor.I opened the Lewy android 8.0 firmware.I can't make twrp from the recovery.It stops at 40% .

[ricky divjakovski]

Vendor is only supported by the donate version, also converting recovery is in the process of being rebuilt, there will be an accommodating build released over the next ferw days

The tool is completely opensource, you can go through the code and see how it operates, this doesnt not compile TWRP from source, it simply splits the kernel and ramdisk and replaces the original ramdisk with the TWRP one then repacks into a boot.img, Its a dirty method that works.

Question: It is boot.img or recovery.img(.partition)? My approach is to replace recovery.img(,partition).

On freaktab there is a topic about twrp for amlogic devices.

[raruba]

Yeah Ricky

[ricky divjakovski]

Yeah Ricky
version 4.0 work fine on my computer and version 5.5 and version just shuts down

Version 6.0.0 is available and 6.6.0 for donators, all issues should be eliminated besides the bug in UserInterface tab that doesnt effect the tools usage, give 6.0.0 a shot
