Database Develop

Cyanogenmod 7 (Think Tank, in progress)

Hello All,
So I´m all sorts of new at developing for android, and I wanted to open up my thoughts and efforts to the community. I am trying to port CM 7, (eventually 9), and am using the CM Compiler that was developed by LithidCM. I´ve gotten everything up and running, now I just need to figure out how to set up the proper files from the Holiday itself. As I said, this is a work in progress, and any suggestions are very helpful. Right now, the stumbling block is setting up a Holiday/Raider/Vivid repo with the necessary compilation files.
Lets get cooking!
CMCompiler (All credit goes to Lithid CM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415661

+1 i would love to see cm7 or 9 on my vivid

That CMCompiler wont work for the Vivid
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Not until there is either a CM repo for the Vivid or I can set up the correct files locally, then I can modify the script for it to look there, rather than the CM repo. Iḿ looking for ways to make it WORK, so anything to that end is appreciated. Either that or work on another method if it looks more promising. I have time, a machine, a device, some knowledge, and the desire, I just want to get together with some other people who can contribute a bit on the knowledge end to HELP get this up and running.

That was very insightful.... I'm sure the OP is very thankful for all your help.

I'm already taking care of this
If you're into it, you can download my repo for CM9 here: https://github.com/thecubed/android_device_htc_holiday
I make no promises on timeline, but I do expect to have a teaser video with a few things working at least here in a day or so.

if you guys want i got a port booting with signal for the amaze almost same device

I too would love to see both CM7 and 9 on the Vivid, however from what i gather CMCompiler is not really going to be the way at it.
I follow alot of Team Haxsung and CM people and they all believe it to be not the best way to help the CM community, rather a way to re brand and take credit.
Further, CMCompiler requires there being a branch, which means that nightlies will be compiled quickly by build bots, if build bots are down or you want to make a nightly KANG you can install the dependencies via the CM wiki and build yourself, which might actually allow you to learn how to build and modify the source rather then having an application spit it out for you

AH! I have been using your repo as my source on CMC, but it fails each time because I´m missing some files. which files, well, that´s the step I´m at now. Im stoked your working on this. I´d like to learn how to do this on my own as well, then I´d be happy to put together a step by step from scratch for building from a fresh install of Ubuntu, I think it´s needed.

And if you´ve read anything I have written (and what others have added) you would see that the purpose of this post is LEARNING. I´m not a linux guy, but I´m quickly figuring it out, not much help to individuals such as yourself who choose to distract and detract rather than assist and contribute, or at least keep your finger off the ¨submit¨ button.
I posted this thread because there is no working version of CM7 for this device. Lets drop the negativity/whatever and put our efforts and keystrokes to getting this booting.

Some of the amaze builds i have you should just have to have someone make a kernel and they will work

Ok we're just letting you know that the CMCompiler will not help. But try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667298

My comment had no attitude as you speak of, like XAviierG i was just letting you know that if your intention is LEARNING the CMcompiler does not help with the process. Its an application that runs in a terminal window and you press numbers on screen to pull from the repos, again thats not learning and it wont help get the Vivid working any sooner.
I appropriate your eagerness to learn Linux, i am still learning alot aswell, and i too was excited when i read about the CMcompling application, however after reading about it and the stance of the dev teams i realized that its not the best for me and people looking to learn

CMC got me motivated to figure out how to get this working. Yes it´s a shortcut, no it doesn´t help anyone who can´t flash through rommanager already, and thus not us, right now. However, what gets people learning is a good thing, as far as I am concerned. I know far more about Linux now than I ever would have if it had worked beautifully from the start, including building everything through other means that it looks to do through invisible scripting.
As I said, I´m done talking about this.
Back on topic.
I am working on building a fresh CM7 Kernel through
Code:
[email protected]:~/android/kernel/cm-kernel$ adb pull /proc/config.gz /home/michaelcreane/android/kernel/cm-kernel/config.gz
cat config.gz | gunzip > .config
All goes well
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER oldconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER menuconfig
No problems.
But then
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
and I run into this:
Code:
[email protected]:~/android/kernel/cm-kernel$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`

I just accepted all defaults in the RCU implementation, and I´m guessing that´s where the errors are starting. I got the same error when I ran
Code:
scripts/extract-ikconfig boot.img > .config
rather than extracting the .gz file from my device. Any ideas?

@MCreane and the cubed
I'm glad you guys are working on this. Very exited to see what you guys come up with. I also think it would be great to have a guide.

I was able to build the Holiday kernel successfully after pulling config.gz and doing this:
Code:
make oldconfig
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path to android source>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

Tease: we have a successful booting CM9 from source
Current problem: the kernel we're using (stock from source) is missing the proper USB stack for ICS, as well as GSL changes, so we either have to fork toastcfh's kernel, or fix tiamat's kernel which currently doesn't boot.
However, we were able to get it to boot with a stock kernel built from source. Gfx are skewed, but touchscreen worked, and the colors were right-- so we're on to something at least.
Anyway, I'll be pushing what I have to my github as "holidayics" instead of "holiday" until it's ready for primetime. (@ http://github.com/thecubed )

ConGrats!

When you guys compile it how do you get it running? i compile it but whenever i flash or anything it fails to boot. i havent made changes yet. just compiled your unmodded device profile with my blobs and such.

Are you using CM9/10? Did you get all the proprietary files? What commands did you run?

i repo synced cm9 for your cm9 source.
Code:
# cd /home/connor/android/CM9
# git clone https://github.com/Team-Streak/android_device_dell_streak7.git ./device/dell/streak7
# cd ./device/dell/streak7
# ./extract-files.sh
# cd /home/connor/android/CM9
# . build/envsetup.sh
# brunch streak7-userdebug
i have the prebuilts from cyanogenmod already
and everything builds perfectly and i got a full zip like i do with other devices. but when i go to flash in either cwm6 or twrp it flashes fine but then just hanges at the dell logo.
i logcatted it and it seems to just be looping. (i forget what it wasthat was in the loop)

Ok thank you very much. im downloading the nvidia tegra bull crap right now after figuring out i need it. (duh lol)
ok i am having a problem with the nvidia kernel..
im getting
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/nvidia/build/kernel.mk'. Stop.
i know this is probably stupid but where is nvidia kernel? i found something on nv-tegra.nvidia.com git. but nothing with kernel.mk in it.. sorry for the stupidity.

Remove any vendor/nvidia stuff from references.
I have access to some stuff, but in order to make it public, I took all this stuff out.
Go to the the Team-Streak

Oh yeah, how many cores is your CPU? For example I have a Core -i7 on my server, so I put "make -j9" speeds up build time significantly.

So Awesome!!!!!! Thank You!!!!

i do -j8 lol. just got the new amd processor,16 gbs of ram i <3 it.
ok ill reclone your repo and see what happens from there.

Development! Project JellyBeanSwift - Open Source Project!

I will teach you build ROM.
Lets get some ROCK!!!
Operating System
First step is having a fully functional linux distro. You can choose what you prefer, I'm using ubuntu and I write commands for it. You can use OSX too, as I know, but I've completely no idea how, I never had a Mac.
Well, talking about linux, you need a 64bit distribution, so if you have an old 32 bit processor youn cannot go ahead.
To check which version do you have, type in a shell
uname -a
If the results include "x86_64" you're ok.
Required Packages
You need to install some little packages, to be able to proceed, you can do this with your favorite package manager:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Some systems need some trick to install all this package, is your care to check this process completed correctly and fix eventually problems.
Install "repo"
Repo is the program that handles synchronization between our pc and the repository, in this case Cyanogen's one. To install do:
mkdir -p ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
So we have downloaded and added executables flag to it. Now we need a folder to store locally the sources, you can put it everywhere, but to be coherent with other guides, I do:
mkdir -p ~/CM10/
Repository initialization
Well, now it's time to initialize our source folder to correctly sync with repository:
cd CM10
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
Nota: Maybe the repo command is not recognized. In this case you can restart the shell or te machine.
Download
Now is download time! Write this command and get a fresh beer, you have to download several GB of data, please wait.
repo sync -j16
The "-j16" switch may be modified as you want, is the number of concurrent thread downloading from repo. 16 is my value, for a 100Mbit connection, maybe you can decrease a little to match your line speed. Someone uses 8 threads for an 8Mbit ADSL line.
Download precompiled files.
There are some others files needed, like the toolchain, including GCC, to compile code.
~/CM10/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Another small wait time and we're ready!
Add sources code for GT540
Copy sources from https://github.com/mmxtrem/device_lge_swift to ~/CM10/device/lge/swift
Or extract this archive http://depositfiles.com/files/1chflk58r to ~/CM10/device/lge/swift
Build
Great, we're ready to build!
The build process takes some hours, so be patient. My notebook, takes more than 10 hours!
cd CM10
source build/envsetup.sh && brunch swift
Install
When is ready, we can find the result here:
~/CM10/system/out/target/product/swift/cm-10-XXXXX-JellyBeanSwift-XXXX.zip
This is the package to be flashed in recovery mode.
There are Gapps included.
Update
If you want to update your build, you have to do only this:
cd CM10
repo sync
and build again!
P.S. Dont forget write Credit my name, when will be publish your ROM. Good Luck!

Wow I always wanted to try this out! Thanks for the surprise tutorial!

Wow wow wow.. forget my post in the other thread. This thing miro, this thing here is possible your best contribution to this community.. I'm getting my old gt540 back from my brother and trying these right tomorrow..
I actually thought about asking you for such a tutorial but scratched it as I didn't believe you would do it. But thank you again and again.. I was so wrong

I've just one question, we do the build, ok and we try it, ok, but if we find any bug, where we solve it?! and where we put the corrects librarys for our phone?!
Sorry i'm just very noob

Miroslav is best men on a whole world
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Btw is gt540 msm 7x27 ? if yes could someone try to build this kernel for our phone https://github.com/Californication/lge-kernel-msm7x27-ics-3.0.8

^ This, make a guide for this, or is just all "lets google it"?

thanks for that tut miroslav !!
i would be happy if you can make example of bug fixing/driver porting (something simple as example).

Oh, nice post Miro
But one thing, why don't you post how to make device files. It would be of more use as people will try to make their own sources and a good chance that they could make their own device in collaboration. :good:

i've ear i can do a build in a 32bits processor too! but you know xD do what was said up please!!

Could someone try to build this because I can't cause I have 32bit system in my PC.

Yes, me too, the build comes so big that it fails the size checks on the default partition layout.
To avoid that change the contents in device/lge/swift/BoardConfig.mk, I've used these values:
Code:
# PARTITIONS
BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00500000
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00900000
BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0010B07600
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x007478A00
BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072
I believe you can still zip up the right files in out/target/product/swift/ to have a signable update zip, the command "make otapackage" which I found somewhere didn't seem to work.

[ROM][DEV] Ubuntu Touch For B&N Nook Tablet

DISCLAIMER: You should know by now that anything you do can and probably does void warranties, can and may brick your devices, etc etc yada yada.... This is my first ever attempt at a port, second ROM to ever build. The base for this is CM10.1 maintained by the official devs for the B&N Nook Tablet (acclaim), so complete props to everyone who has gone looney to get us here. This port isn't very usable and as such is no daily driver by any means.
I will try to explain the details of building as best as I can remember to anyone who wants to know. I had to comment out certain lines here and there and add my changes below them. Being new to this all, I have yet to set up a git for the sources. I just wanted to get this up as I haven't seen anyone else post this for Nook Tablet. From what I know, this should work for the 8g and 16g as this is based off the Official CM10.1 for us. Again, your risk, there are plenty of ways to unbrick this device and plenty of guides.
Discussion thread:
[ROM][DISCUSSION] Ubuntu Touch B&N Nook Tablet
For those of you just wanting to take it for a spin:
(name change as I am building using two different sets of repos, one with only a local branch based off the cm repos, and my own that I will push updates to)
Download Device Specific Build:
Build 5: ut-cm-20130610-acclaim.zip - 35.72 MB
Older Builds:
(The following builds screen displays stop working for newer Ubuntu fs builds)
Build 4: ubuntu_touch-20130529-acclaim.zip - 35.54 MB
Build 3: ubuntu_touch-20130524-acclaim.zip - 34.94 MB
Build 2: ubuntu_touch-20130513-acclaim.zip - 34.90 MB
Build 1: ubuntu_touch-20130511-acclaim.zip - 34.90 MB
Download Ubuntu FS File:
Saucy is the new Raring
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/
Installation:
1) put both files on your sdcard by your method of choice
2) go into recovery
3) format data/factory reset <-- NOTE: If you want to save data, new builds should backup stuff, not sure what all though.
4) format system to ensure clean install
5) flash Custom build and flash Ubuntu fs file
6) reboot and pray it works.
After boot up notes:
- May have to push power button to get initial display.
-To get a chroot shell from your computer's terminal:
Code:
$ adb root
$ adb shell
$ ubuntu_chroot shell
- Keyboard does not currently work on Home screens. In Raring I would restart ubuntu-session. I do not see it in Saucy. 2013-06-15: playing around and starting the 'killprocs' service, keyboard worked afterwards.
Code:
[email protected]:/# service killprocs start
- Wifi seems to need a reboot to work correctly currently
- Added a script to change the display size.. If you do not like it or want to mess around with it, you can adjust the display through the chroot by editing the acclaim.conf file. After editing, reboot.
Code:
/etc/ubuntu-session.d/acclaim.conf
Build notes!
Build 5:
- Updated ubuntu sources, resulting display seems fixed for newer builds! (circa June 1st or maybe a little sooner)
- Honestly not sure atm if build 4 has it, but added a script to auto fix the display size (adds acclaim.conf for you), Saucy images seem to not require a reboot, Raring images do (or an ubuntu-session restart).
Build 4:
- Using wpa_supplicant 8 instead of 8_TI
Build 3:
- Wifi works with some terminal junk!
Build 2:
- Videos stopped working for some reason, need to debug.
- Apps no longer force close
- Wifi still down
Build 1:
- It boots
- Display works
- Sound Works
- Videos Work
- No wifi
- All apps force close after a couple of seconds
- No rotation
I'm new to all this git stuff, but figured I'd try it out:
https://github.com/dejello/android_device_bn_acclaim
https://github.com/dejello/android_kernel_bn_acclaim
I will be adding a wiki or readme on the device repo that shows dependencies and other edits needed to build your very own.

Build 2! and some pics...

THIS POST IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, but kept for informational purposes
Updated - Build 3 now up!
Wifi seems to be working with some terminal junk. I followed this page as a reference after figuring out the wlan module wasn't being loaded: http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Mac80211_based_open_source_architecture#Procedure_to_build_WLAN_and_test_on_Ubuntu_FS
NOTE: The module is apparently being unloaded after a while, possibly to do with going to sleep, not sure atm. If you have installed the terminal core app you can get back online without plugging back in..
I did the following commands and checked the browser and I was online!
Code:
[email protected]:/ # adb shell
[email protected]:/ # ubuntu_chroot shell

Not sure how stable everything is, but hey, it's a dev preview so
UPDATE: I just had a realization.... After insmoding wl12xx_sdio.ko and bring the wlan0 up, I simply restarted the network manager service and now the gui shows up! I do need to check my wpa_supplicant file as I had been playing with it. <-- Fine unedited. I am also running a new minidroid build compiled using wpa_supplicant 8 vs wpa_supplicant 8_TI that I have yet to upload. I will need to see if this has any effect. I was having an issue compiling the TI version and was getting annoyed trying to figure it out New commands are as follows:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # adb shell
[email protected]:/ # ubuntu_chroot shell
[email protected]:/# insmod /system/lib/modules/wl12xx_sdio.ko
[STRIKE][email protected]:/# ifconfig wlan0 up[/STRIKE] <-- DIdn't even up it this past time, seems that restarting the network-manager service up's it.
[email protected]:/# service network-manager restart
Will be updating this post and adding a pic..

Thanks nothing in comparison to what you've been up to lately though. I probably should see about getting this thread moved over shouldn't I....

I'm really excited, I hope your project takes off in a big way
I admit to confusion, though - you say the base of this is the great work done on cm10.1 nightlies by the devs here, so is this actually ubuntu touch, or a skin over android? I'm not being critical, just looking to understand.
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, yes, currently Ubuntu Touch is running in a chroot on a mini build of android.
Other notes, today I started trying to figure out what exactly breaks the display on the newer ubuntu fs images.
dmesg shows ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 139". I still have an image from May 24th that works, and upon updating libplatform-api1-hybris or ubuntu-platform-implmentation-android (both of which will install the other) the display breaks with ubuntu-session terminating with: "terminated with status 127" or depending on what I've done ocassionally some other error.
More searching to follow....
UPDATE: see Build 5 notes, I hadn't fully updated my ubuntu sources apparently Display seems to work now!
PS - the git stuff isn't current atm, but the edits should still work. the wiki dealio needs work.

You say build 5 should fix the display not showing? I tried it and the "Current" Saucy phablet image and got nothing.
I'm about to try the Raring image and see if it works...

Nope...Saucy bootloops...I don't know how to get a logcat through fastboot, will look it up...

there was a period recently where they were breaking things alot with changes... I have a working version I can upload, but if they update hybris and/or the platform-api again it'll break until i update the build.

Nook HD?
Great work! Any idea if you might get around to making a similar build for the Nook HD/HD+?

That is in my plans as I just got the HD+, not sure just yet as to when.. I need to pm verygreen or someone else and see what all I need to build cm10.1 first as I am missing something. Once I get a working build I will work on Ubuntu.

Ok, seems I just wasn't paying attention.. Replaced the boot image in the zip with the apparent non-sdcard version >.> CM10.1 booted so I will work on a build in a bit. For the moment though the tv is calling me

Are you planning non starting a new thread for ubuntu on the HD+?

Not sure atm.. If not I will update the title of this one

So... if the Ubuntu will be available for HD+, changing a pair of things would make it for HD, is it correct?
Thank you!

I would love this on my Nook HD (not HD+), I have ubuntu installed on all of my systems and love it over windows.
Sent from my Nook HD using XDA Premium HD app

Once I get working builds again (with the new stuff they've added for booting) I will build one for the HD for which I will need testers as I do not have an HD. Honestly did not really work on it today as I am really tired. Looks like I managed to get that one build in before they added this stuff.

Compiling cm11

Hello,
I don't want to ask how to build ROM.
I am new to building and compiling. I followed tutorial here on xda.
I installed everything crucial, then I do "repo init" ( repo init -u https://github.com/P880-dev/android.git -b cm-11.0) and then "repo sync". Source has downloaded. Then I do "source \envsetup.sh", "lunch", chose 11 as cm_p880-userdebug and at last "make -j6 otapackage". Now I have a question: I am compiling it for like 6 hours and in "home\username\android\out\project\p880" is around 12 GB of data, is that good?
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk

yep that is good.. every next time would be faster..
how long ? depends on processor and ram

@gerciolisz
Oh, forgot my specs:
Asus laptop
Core i5 3120m
6 GB ram
in virtualbox:
3 cores
2,5 gb
60 gb disk
And run make -j6

whoah it can be a long day to you i have ubuntu in dualboot with windows i5 and 12gb ram and it took about 4 hours

I am more concerned about that I have only 6 gb of disk available. But I think it is on the end of process. It is worth if waiting

Compiling done First compiling successed Tomorrow time for testing.
Just 2.3 GB of storage left
Do I need to manually now run ccache=1 (or sth like that - to not compile everytime everything) or is good if it is already in file somewhere in repos configuration?

You have to initialize ccache before compilation, that way it can cache the code when you first compile it. Check here.

Just like Adam said.. But anyway it needs more space to cache..

I will expand disk. I added first two lines in bashrc. But I didn't run prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G. It is good if I do it now?

You can, but won't have effect now as you already compiled.

Today I built my new build from scratch in 2 hours and half. I made dualboot and run make -j12 otapackage. Mean while I was able to surf the web :laugh:.

Hi!
Perhaps this thread actually can be some kind of a tutorial on how to build CM11 for P880, if you succeded?
I have followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515305
Except i did some mistakes, so i simply did a fresh Ubuntu reinstall on a SSD-disk so it hopefully also will build faster..
I have some questions though:
- Don't we need to insert the code into the local_manifest.xml?
- Also, i see you don't compile it using "brunch p880" command.. Is there a reason for this?

make -j12 with 3 core inside virtualbox? seems pointless 3-4 would be sufficient. also try schedtool and see if it's faster. (install schedtool, then use schedtool -B -e make -j4 otaimage)

You didn't read well, I made dualboot with windows. I don't know how is it possible to run -j12 and no lag. (I was also able to surf the web). can be installed with apt-get? does otaimage produce .img file?

just follow the instructions from the thread until creating the working directory, for initializing repo, use the one from laufersteppenwolf's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551006).
repo init -u https://github.com/P880-dev/android.git -b cm-11.0the next steps are the same.
repo sync
cd vendor/cm/
. get-prebuilts
and other steps. i'm lazy to retype everything if you are really willing to build android from source, you should be able to figure out what i'm saying

there's no point of using numbers higher than the amount your cpu cores. -j5 or -j6 is fine for quad core cpu, any higher, it doesn't effect anything, just pointless. sudo apt-get install schedtool should work, but again, i have no idea how much difference it will make. otaimage will produce a zip file. you can also use make bacon. make bacon will produce a zip with the proper naming, and more, i guess, idk.

it have been a while since i compiled from 4.4 source. i think i read from cm11 development thread someone mentioned that the some patches causes bootloop. perhaps your problem is the same as his. take a look at the thread
