I was wanting to experiment with trying to compile twrp and cwm and possibly a full rom ( not likely, but why not ).

Yeh I dont think the crewrkteam will be much help. No reply.

Hm right now I have home/jdk1.6.0_45 . That mean it installed?
but when i type : java -version
I get:
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
*default-jre
and lists 5 more.

Try sudo apt install <select package>

I tried installing default default-jre but it is installing 8 JRE

Ok thnx ill try to continue from here then. When I type : java -version . I now get openjdk version 1.8.0_131.

I don't understand why It may fail with my kernel/rom
 My rom has partitions similar to stock. There shouldn't be any difference. I remember someone in the f?rum using twrp and my ROM, but not sure if he used the crewrktablets or another one.
So no idea why It may fail to be honest
 The log shows that is enable to mount system. In my rom is shown as ext3 and on stock as ext4. Os the  only difference i see. Maybe you can try to mount system manually before doing the backup, I don't know what to suggest. I am not an expert on custom recoveries. Perhaps rk3xxx autoconvert system yo ext3 which i used to add Nexus spoofing.
But that would be weird because in that case it shouldn't work with cwm.or stock recovery

If TWRP doesn't like my kernel there is nothing I can do, is a TWRP issue.

I do believe that to be true. I am just trying to find out where the issue is. Just like compiling your kernel, if i compile twrp I may just be duplicating the twrp build from crewrkteam. ( same problems may happen with the one I have now )

Just trying to find the problem is all.

- generic, that means no kernel and resouce included in the image

I am just thinking that Oma created it without kernel. I wonder if I can build it including your kernel.

Ok so compiling without kernel makes sense.

Just to give you an update, you would have a nice laugh. I just barely set up java 1.6 hehe. I refomated the linux laptop i setup and finally figured out how to install and setup paths.

so yeh i am a slow noob hehe.

Something I left out: One of the reasons I want to work on building a rom from scratch ( dunno if aroma installer can do it ) is so that I can customize the way the home screen looks.
    If you install stock fresh firmware you have a droid home that is all setup for you and ready to go. It has all the apps and shortcuts set up. If i were able to figure it out I would like to have 1.8GHz install with apps like flashify/rombrowser/twrpmanager to make upgrading/modding easier, but more importantly I want to setup kernel aduitor as a default app and profiles built in so that 1.8GHz rom will run at 1.4 and only change when the user toggles it. Now this is meant for a Novice user, but with aroma installer I will be able to offer those options. people are scared to flash and just scared to use cwm/twrp because it is outside the normal usage of android devices for novice users. It is unknown. Now if i set it up for them with apps like flashify/rommanager/twrp manager, they will never have to boot into recovery and can do everything from the perceived safety of being inside the droid OS. ( Backups/Restore/Flash new boots/flash anything ).

If I can do that the tutorials would be drastically simplified for everyone. Development for stuff like bootanimations, setting flashes, themes and stuff like that would also be simplified to a simple: download, open flash app, select upgrade/update. This will encourage people to also use backups, since it will be so easy. So if they have a problem they can not fix, all is not lost. They simply flash an older backup.

I know I have been bugging you hehe, and you have been a very patient spaniard.  Muchos thank yous!

The kernel is in my GitHub

https://github.com/skelton/XD_444

The SDK I use the Firefly rk3288 device board sdk

https://bitbucket.org/T-Firefly/firefly-rk3288

Remember to remove kernel folder in Firefly files and use mine

The config to use for the kernel is rockchip_defconfig

Also, you will need to decompile framework jar and framework.res.apk from stock ROM and include several things to the files compiled in source to get gpd mapper working. You will also need to take uboot files from stock ROM because Firefly ones are not compatible.
Gamepad.apk must be taken from stock ROM one, because is not open source. Parameter file must be taken from stock too, that can be done when extracting stock using rk3xxx tools. As you see, even using sdk there are many things to do...
A good guide for compiling the sdk is this.

I have ubuntu 16 abd tried:

 xsltproc lzop libc6-dev schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev \
 lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib libswitch-perl
and got
