Building for Nexus one

Sorry if this has been asked or posted, I tried doing a search but lots of hits..
Here goes:
Is there a howto for building a Nexus one rom from Android Open Source dot com?
I have seen these:
(cant post real links lame....)
But they basically tell you to pull from GIT and type make.
I have flipped over the Makefiles, but it would be handy if someone has a tut on building a nexus one specific point of view.
Again I apologize if this has been covered.
Cheers,
Check out the wiki at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Building_from_source that will help you start to compile your own ROM. Also there is a build script floating around on the CyanogenMod Forums that you can use.
Thanks this is what I have been looking for! I have the build system building on my gentoo box ATM, I will check out this link and search for the build script.
I believe I found the build script in the Motorola Droid section of the CyanogenMod forums. Like 3 or 4 pages into it.

Carbon Rom Nightlies for M8 look to be live!

I'm sure that someone from the Carbon team will make an official post sometime soon but I periodically check their database and noticed that they now have nightlies for the M8! Woohoo! Was one of my favorites on my MoPho 4G LTE and M7 so looking forward to installing this in just a few minutes.
Here's the link: https://carbonrom.org/downloads/?device=m8&type=nightly
P.S. Hope this is not out of line for me to post before someone from their team does I just wanted to share my happiness! =)
Greetings,
I moved your thread to General and removed the link until it can be confirmed working on the Sprint M8.
Thanks BD619

Fair enough, good sir. I do not know what exactly you require to show as proof but here are some screenshots I just took after installing^^
Don't judge me on my quick theming, was just trying to show the customizations work =P
After first reboot I did get a Gapps FC but I believe that may be due to the outdated binary I was warned of when installing the Gapps package I used(LiquidGapps from the Liquid Rom download page). Also, this ROM appears to be afflicted with the same forgetfulness as the other AOSP ROMs when it comes to WiFi passwords but so far those are the only things I've come across and one of them was likely my fault.

Thanks for confirming, my concern was it was built for GSM devices, and it would soft brick a Sprint device.
I don't see any harm in posting the link again.

No problem. I remembered I think Aarrgghh saying that CArbon wouldn't have a m8 build until Cyanogen unified their m8 devices so I knew once I saw it up there it was going to work for CDMA as well as GSM but I should definitely have posted AFTER installing and trying it if I'm going to promote a link, haha. Thanks for keeping me from possibly doing someone else a disservice.^^
Here is the link again if anyone wants to try it out:
http://carbonrom.org/downloads/?device=m8&type=nightly
The 5/20 build is still running stable for me since I installed last night. Haven't tried the 5/22 one yet but I'm about to. ^^
Happy Flashing!
Added the link to post 1 also
Any other bugs besides Wi-Fi passwords?
Yeah, I've came across another...camera app(native or 3rd party) seems to cause a reboot when opened. Possibly one or two more but i don't know if it would be better to wait for an official carbon thread/dev before i start complaining, haha.

Android N preview supposedly being released March 9th 2016?

http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/9/11185872/android-n-developer-preview-features-report
The first preview build of Android N will be released to the public today with new features including a native split-screen mode, according to a report from 9to5Google. Citing an article from Ars Technica that was pulled after publication, 9to5Google says that the preview version of Android N includes a redesigned notification panel (with notifications that span the full width of the screen, and an edit button for quick changes), and improvements to the operating system's Doze feature, which will reportedly save battery whenever the screen turns off.
THERE'S ALSO A 'PICTURE IN PICTURE' MODE REPORTEDLY COMING
The biggest addition though, seems to be a new split-screen mode for multitasking. This reportedly works on both phones and tablets, and, like other features included in the preview, will be given to developers to test before it's released to the public later this year. 9to5Google says that Ars Technica also reported the existence of a new "picture in picture" mode which sounds similar to that in iOS 9, letting users shrink windows to a corner of their screen while browsing other apps.
The original Ars story also reportedly said that the preview will be available for the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Pixel C, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and the General Mobile 4G. Google is also said to be launching a new "Android Beta Program." All of this information is extremely provisional at the moment, but if the Ars Technica report is true, we can expect to hear more about Android N — and its new features — some time soon.
I would be surprised if it actually releases today, but one can hope!!
It's out! http://storage.googleapis.com/androiddevelopers/shareables/preview/shamu-npc56p-preview-54b13c67.tgz
Currently unlocked bootloader and running twrp 3.0
That being said how would I go about installing this image? The same way as the other images? Also, if I do this, will I be able to revert back?
Developer preview? It's still functional as a phone?
Awesome, thanks! I just downloaded the Shamu preview from http://developer.android.com/preview/download.html. Has anyone extracted and installed the images on their rooted 6.0.1? I'd rather not be the first, lol!
Official Release Page:
https://developer.android.com/preview/index.html
Having an OTA of the N preview is Awesome! I want to try it as soon as the site is availble, but I'm not sure how friendly the N preview will be for project fi this early. anyone else on Fi going to try the preview?

Haha yea, I just wish I knew how to make one myself...oh well
I wasn't expecting that, well safe to say this will be last of the preview for us. Safe to say folks with the OG Nex5 won't get android N

Any changes to the launcher?
This flashes just like a regular Nexus image right ? aka unzip, fastboot, etc, etc..............

In suggest wait for sometime and someone will surely give flashable zip... Then give a try.... Rest your own wish.....

Probably the coolest features, for me anyway, is built-in options to calibrate the display color (in System UI Tuner) AND change the DPI (in Display settings). I'm not sure if these will make it to the final build, but I really do hope so.
PS: you need to sign up for the android beta program to actually receive OTA updates https://g.co/androidbeta
as stated here: http://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html

mind that it will encrypt your device
The build.prop wifi tether method doesn't seem to work with the N preview at least in the traditional way. Has anyone managed to get it to work?

Hey guys, a good while ago I made a guide on how to build your own LineageOS ROMs. I've since updated it several times and made a tutorial video of the entire process to accompany it! I hope some of you will find it useful
Here it is: https://goo.gl/uU0fCy
Also, you can see the youtube tutorial video that accompanies the guide here:
