Is building custom firmware for DROID possible?

Darkn · May 26, 2026, 2:40am

hi! i’m currently compiling my own MrChromebox firmware.

the only change i’m making is adjusting the boot logo and i got that to successfully work for my BOBBA device (and i’m pretty happy about it!).

i’m now currently doing the same for my other Chromebook, which is DROID, however there isn’t a config file for it and there isn’t a coreboot rom for it either in sources.sh.

i’ve tried copying the config file in the glk folder (as DROID is GeminiLake), renamed the file to “config.droid.uefi” and adjusted any mentions of board names to “droid”. yet, it still failed to build.

so i’m left here kind of stumped on what i could do to get it to build. i reaaaaaally wanna get that custom boot logo but i’m not about to do my own jank workarounds to get it to work lol

note: i do have both the original rom and the current fw rom if that’s necessary

there is not a 1:1 relationship between board name and firmware image used. DROID uses the bobba image per the device-db:

device-db.sh

i see. by that i’m assuming it’ll be okay to use the same compiled image that i made for my other BOBBA chromebook with my DROID chromebook?

the requirements for the boot logo are the same for all devices
