Let me start off by saying I am not a dev. I just thought this tool may be useful to those that are.
It compiles, decompiles, and builds source code. The thing that caught my eye is in the list of supported devices for decompile it said
"Currently supports : Any Device and any Android version."
Maybe hoping to decompile source from honeycomb is being a little optimistic but It may still help.
Link with documentation explaining what it is

Hi there, am a newbie to android for months, and I was thinking to start to mod things in the android rom, I've downloaded some sources from the Github, which those sources are in .java format, can anyone guide me on how to put those edited .java into my android device in order for my mod to work?
Thanks a million...
Kiay
Are you real?
You want to mod things, but you don't know what is done with source code?
I think compiling is one of the first things people learn when programming...
Download Android SDK from the net and suit yourself.

get Eclipse, and the Android SDK, then put your code in eclipse and compile it.

yes i've downloaded all those needed software, and gone through the Hello Android tutorial on the net, but as i stated above, i've no idea how to put those sources that i edited back into my device, and the sources that i m saying is those where i downloaded from the github, edited, but no idea how to put back in...
You don't put sources back, you compile them to applications and change the ones in your system for the updated ones.
Look up some more tutorials on the net, or go to "generic android development" section in the forum and look there, there are some posts by people that started to learn how to develop on Android.
hi!
I've got no experience of coding and if i'm honest i don't really like it! I've never written an app
What i'd like to do is build CM6 for the Nexus from Cyanogens Git Hub.
Is this something realistically possible for someone with no coding experience
I've not bothered researching yet as I wanted to know if I was actually going to be wasting my time!
Short answer is - not a chance.

How helpful...
Anyway, here's the CM wiki to build from source:

You should read what you post first. Look, a quote:
"These instructions have only been tested for 4.2.10.1 on 25 DEC 2009. This information may be out-of-date.".
Do you think a 1/2 year and 2 versions old is still relevant?
Do you think that a code which is currently being written, sampled at some random point in time, will compile cleanly?
Do you think that this quote means something, from TODO section:
"TODO: Explain how to compile the rest of CyanogenMod"
Maybe this?
"TODO: Explain how to compile wlan.ko in order to enable wifi."
And more importantly, do you think a user who's asking for instructions to compile and hates programming, knows ANYTHING about Linux, which is required?
Thought so.
So, the short answer is - not a chance.
Who **** in your corn flakes?
The wiki worked for me before and when I was compiling last night...
Anyway, why not give them the information and let them decide if they want to pursue it the project or not.
Edit: From the bottom of the Wiki: This page was last modified on 26 June 2010, at 13:57.
Long story...
Anyways, I was stopped by "and if i'm honest i don't really like it" part, which said to me that any info besides a full comprehensive guide to installing VirtualBox, Debian on VB, and backing up the effort to compile something that might not compile and might not work, would go in vain.
But maybe you're right.
Hi,
some experienced dev can post here some instructions, hints, or anything that could be useful on how to build ICS from sources?
I'm not talking about anything you can find here:
- downloading sources http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
- building sources http://source.android.com/source/building.html
I'm talking about lunch configurations, kernel to use, init script, proprietary files, etc... (I really can't find any guide for this kind of things.)
I never started a new build configuration, I only used "ready-to-build" solutions like CM, and I'm very interested to learn something new.
I think this is a good way to start to work on ICS for our device and share our findings to quicken the work of arcee.
M.
There are some great articles on "porting android". I guess you could start there, that's where I am
You may also want to check out the reading list from CyanogenMod:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(AT&T):_Compile_CyanogenMod_(OS_X)
It contains two 1 hour long video introductions to porting.
thank you. that's exactly what i was searching for.
Apparently I was searching with the wrong keywords

Yeah, I was searching for a year and only found those links yesterday
On this italian Facebook group a user just reported that on LG Open Source site is available the source code of a new ROM, called V20Q.
I'm downloading it right now, but still have no idea of changelog or anything.
Someone has more information?
I hope it will help to developers

Hi there,
I'm looking for the source code of Corn Kernel, especially the version 7.0A.
I already tried to compile the kernel from Samsung with no success.
If by any chance the author can share his code this would be great for me.
Thanks
Might want to check with mtcarey here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477
I don't believe they have enough posts to post in the development section, if I remember right it has to be 10
Oops, on the app didn't see post count. Could prolly send mtcarey a pm

Refer here. MtCarey explains how to compile KK4.
Actually according to GNU/GPL licencing, all source code must be made available to the public for anything built on or modified from software built with that licence and the licence must carry over.
basically if you build it from a GPL licenced source, you must provide your source for your changes/additions.
But im sure if you send the dev of the kernel in question, he would be happy to abide. (by xda rules he should).
sometimes with modifying kernels/roms of leak versions, and software for which source has not been provided to us, we are able to change 90% less, and are breaking GPL, but we dont really have a choice in the matter. well... we could just not mod it.. LOL.

he says in that, that there is much more to tweak to get it proper, but those are the 2 main things missing to get it to boot. not exactly a how-to compile guide.
Hi Guys,
In response to the quote below, I already tried to compile other kernel with some success. I managed to do that with HTC kernel by following the instructions. The explanation MtCarey gave is more like a hint or some info. Even though the info might be good enough for experienced kernel developer, I'm still not experienced enough.
All I'm asking weather the full source code with minimum modification can be contributed to the public so we all can have the benefit of it.
And of course! many thanks for MtCarey if he's willing to do that.

did you PM him? the un-modified stock kernel or unmodified corn kernel??...
and if you arent that experienced with it... why?? learning?? most of the kernel devs hang out in irc and talk and help kernel developing.. go make some friends.
Where can I get the information how to get to the irc?
