Database Develop

[Q] Guide me please! Installing from source.

Hi everyone, i just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook . Really interested in
building android from source. Like what people are doing in the ICS CM9
development thread. Please guide me on what to do next, i have no experiences on
using Ubuntu. I apologize in advanced for causing any troubles for you
guys.

Here are two great links to get you started
Link 1
Link 2
start by build yourself a kernel, and then work your way to a full build

Brave of you to try. I've been meaning to do that myself, but I believe you can only build in Linux. Alas, I don't have any knowledge of that OS. I only use win7. I know this might be a stupid question, but can one build in win7? hope? he devs releases a flashable zip soon... :'(

Ubuntu is Linux. You can burn it to a CD and take it for a spin without changing your Win7 machine. Or, you can dual boot like I do. Give it a whirl!
To the OP: good for you!

No Windows build support. You can just run Ubuntu in a virtual box without having to deal with a dual boot.

Meh, don't bother with my CM9 port, the code for that build is ancient in technological terms. I'll be compiling CM10 or AOKP JB for you guys next month when my bandwidth meter restarts. I waster a LOT of bandwidth trying to sync the CM10 code and having it run into a fatal error at the end. Such a piss off.

I like Ubuntu a lot. I've only used 11.10, and 12.04 but I personally prefer 11.10 due to the fact that 12.04 is "only experimentally supported for compiling ROM's and not guarenteed to work". I also find 11.10 to be significantly more stable and smooth than 12.04, but it could be because of my older computer and processor.
If you're good with technology and computers (Which you most likely are since you're on XDA) then you should have no problem learning how to use Ubuntu. There are a little bit more quirks in Ubuntu than in Windows, and the problems typically have to be fixed in the Terminal, but it's not that bad. I personally enjoy using Ubuntu, I found it to be very easy to learn how to use. (But I'm a major nerd )
Edit: If you want to know anything else about Ubuntu, let me know and I'll fire up my VM.

My pleasure I've read them all, and tried out a majority of them myself. Some work, some don't but they all teach you valuable lessons and are worth reading. Not all of them are for Sense ROM's, only some of them are. I also really want to compile CM10 which is why I also have a lot of AOSP links. Some are also app tutorials, I'm also trying to learn how to write apps.

That's an impressive list, thanks for sharing.

Well, you need a lot of work to get a working build, as i currently compile CM9 for SXL.
Recommended distros: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise / Linux Mint 13 Maya with Cinnamon interface to have the best linux experience << The best linux distro i ever used
Packages: Well, you need to check the Paranoid site to download the repo for ICS or JB variant of source-code.
Commands: Lots of commands, there are tutorials online. Example >> here
After this, you will need the device tree for SXL, i have one that is deprecated (not updated for some time), it does not work the variant uploaded here, but i will upload it.
You will need the vendor files, i also have the files but as the build of CM9 don't work, i haven't upload them anywhere untill i can get an at least experimental build that boots
Link for android device tree for sxl by me here
There is a lot of work and there aren't any specific guides on how to do this, you need to join communities and be a pain on the ass for them untill you learn how to do this.
I hope this helps anyways

thanks a lot I think I start tomorrow I'm a little tired

Hi just so you know you won't be able to compile Paranoid Android for ICS from source as it was never released.
If you can get JB to work then you will not only be a hero but also be able to use Paranoid Android source

I have a problem I can not download the sources of the paranoid in any way
help (or build the sources normal Android?)

Did you follow a guide how to set up the environment in linux? Or Mac.. the way you can download sources is git clone and then the git link. There are many guides on doing that part. Also when I download source it times out in a 4 mb/s connection and I need to use a better connecyion

aa ok but the guide I was reading did not say that it was necessary to clone each of the sources piece by piece, but he said to use a single link.
I have linux mint 14 with cinnamon (from the 13 consigliatami lextmazter I do not work)
both in Italy and in spite of my connection is approximately 16 mb / s (88% above the national average)

I do not recommend Linux Mint 14 as it is new edition, based on new Ubuntu version 12.10 if i remember good, don't know for sure, that's why, on Ubuntu 12.04 building is supported, even though on some guides it is said that on 12.04 it is experimental, well, it was, now it should be stable.
Also, if you want to port things like Paranoid or PAC you should start with AOSP or CM9 or AOKP, to put it short, versions that have guides and source codes on their sites. In my opinion CM is the best thing to start with, that's why i started CM9, after that you can easily port every 4.0.4 AOSP based ROM.
The same thing applies to JB, if you can port or build AOSP or CM10, you can port every JB AOSP based ROM very easily following only a few basic steps, that's how things work in this hood
Off-topic: I was a little distracted from building/testing/devving because of the school affairs, but today i will resume my work on CM9, if things work well, i will have a bootable build this very evening.

same as lexmazter, sound correct. the hard part is build CM9 rom, rest is pretty easy.
Lexmazter, i am about to try take a ramdisk from cm9 primou and make changes in every lines and see if i can get it to work with runnymede. if it does we will have a working aosp bootimg. i have compiled a zimage from source and it works with wifi and bt and so on in sense rom, also zimage works with cm9 with wifi.
lexmazter, can you please take a bencmark test with antutu 3.0.1, the new one, and post screenshot of the score and wich rom you are in ? they have made the test much diffrend so score is diffrend in 3.0.1 than older , so i have nothing to compare it to

5941 no OC with LTX Kernel v0.7 and Sense 3.0 by fshami, also, i think i found the right ramdisk for now for CM9, it solved the dalvik-permissions, now i still need to boot the build, still trying to figure what is wrong here and why it hangs after Android is upgrading... >> Starting applications.
I can work more on my device now as i have a cheap second phone to use if for calls and sms.

so then I decided, when I start buildare the source of AOSP Android 4.2 jellybean I think it's easier for me to start.
I had to use because the new mint old man crashed always

As a recommandation, i would recommend building AOSP 4.0.4, it is easier to start and has more chances of working, after that, you have the experience and the headstart to work on 4.1 and only after that on 4.2.
Just start with baby-steps, it is easier and increases the chances of success.

Well, i recommend this because i'm still building 4.0.4 and i haven't successfully booted a build, so that's why i say this, because if you get the 4.0.4, in short terms, all you need to change for 4.1 is the graphics driver, but for 4.2 i don't know for sure, too new for me and i'm still trying to get 4.0.4 to air

then my kernel is not so bad 5838 with sense 4.1 v. 1.5.1 and still missing some improvments
which ramdisk are you using, zimage from stock rom should get it to boot, but the ramdisk as you know need to be changed to cm9. when you compile from source it should also make a ramdisk that will fits the rom, i think it is best to check what the diffrence in the new ramdisk and the old one with VM errors and then fix them, perhaps it will boot then ? one specific compiled by you ? post a logcat in your cm9, had also some bootloop in my cm9 port but got it booting.

just enter the irc channel, will talk more there, no need to spam the forum with this.
The boothanging is because of the audio, the ramdisk is good, i use the LTX v0.7 zImage and ramdisk from stock edited to fit the build.
Also, the ramdisk is not made with the build, maybe if you compile the kernel with the rom, and for this you need to put the kernel online and othe things, and because of proxy, i can't and won't do that. For more details, like i said, find me on the irc.

New port to our phone

Hi guys ! I'm thinking about a new port to our phone.. I think I can try something as now I'm a little more introduced in Android , but I don't have the phone ( mine is bricked, some of us already know the story..). So, my ideas ar Ubuntu Phone OS and Firefox OS , from my point Ubuntu is more beautiful but is very hard to find and more harder to build even.. Firefox OS looks great and it's easy to compile, but I don't know how good will work it on our device as our device is not enough good to run it properly good. So, what do you think guys?

I'd like to have both of them but if i have to chose it's ubuntu

It's great but is in beta stage.. and about Firefox OS, I like very much the way you can design apps, it's like HTML but a little differences in framework

I think it's more stable than Ubuntu because it has more apps done already than Ubuntu wich has done only 8-9 apps for system.

Anyways I'm not that good so I guess that I'll just wait for a developer to port one of this oses xD

And how do you think you will port it without having an actual device? We don't even have fully working AOSP-based Android ROM and you're dreaming of something else...

The dream may come true one day untill this summer the official JB will be out and I will have another Mini2, so everything will be ok.

if someone wants to port something.. it's a good news.. and all we have to do is be happy for it.. at least someone is making an effort..
thanks man.. you have my support.

So Ubuntu just won the pool ! We'll try our best to make it..but we will need time, anyway, starting now !

Fix camera on Nougat?

Fix camera?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-porting-64bit-mtk-roms-mt6735-t3563807

I think that wont work, because our kernel or rom base is on 32bits o something like that, but i'm not sure, @vampirefo can confirm this if he want to

I believe these files listed are already ported into the build.
I had my doubts that this would make any change for our device, but i put the files into a patch install and tried it.
still No camera ..! sorry .
unless the files also needed to have permissions applied.

Not directly, would need to be "ported" and tweaked. That post says its for same processor and is tagged as "Coolpad 3"
Be careful testing with it. It comes from a general thread not any device specific thread so who know what to really is.

Do not know. It would have to be tested.
If there was a way to know what camera module the r1-hd has and then compare it to the one for cool-pad 3 lite has.
Other than being able to do that it is left to trial and error.

Is already there and is not working I think is something with the boot img I mean the kernel part

Id really like to see the camera working. I dont mind my R1s camera not working really because i dont use it, But if it were working the Rom would receive unofficial build status instead of the "beta" and "discontinued" its been getting.
I have Nougat on my R1 solely thanks to Mrmazak

Well, unless you switch phones or Blu releases an update camera won't be fixed.
To be honest camera isn't very good in any built rom for Blu devices, I have several roms I built for Blu Life Max, camera works but it isn't very good, pink haze on back camera, front camera is ok, still not as good as stock rom, or ported stock rom from another device.

64bit won't work on 32bit, nor will 32bit work on 64bit, no way around that.
A 32bit kernel can only use 32bit binaries, 64bit kernel can only use 64bit binaries.

Well, unless you switch phones or Blu releases an update camera won't be fixed.
To be honest camera isn't very good in any built rom for Blu devices, I have several roms I built for Blu Life Max, camera works but it isn't very good, pink haze on back camera, front camera is ok, still not as good as stock rom, or ported stock rom from another device.

Yeah you got a point. The camera was never very good on Cyanogen or Lineage. Or even for that matter on the BLU rom itself... When i need the camera i just use my other S6 Active.

The compat layer (see CONFIG_COMPAT) in the kernel allows for 32 or 64-bit userland with 64-bit kernel and is supported by Android. The tinno 64-bit config has this enabled.

that means nothing, no matter.
good luck compiling a 64bit kernel out of 32bit source.
perhaps R1HD Plus, kernel source might be of some use to you all, the phone is advertised as 64bit, I think it's really going to be 32bit, but won't know til someone gets one.

You didn't know you could run 32-bit binaries in a 64-bit kernel, and now you're saying you can't compile 64-bit kernels out of 32-bit source, whatever you think you mean by that. The point of me mentioning the tinno config is there is a 32-bit config and 64-bit config for the same soc and surprise, it uses the same source. There is minor difference in the config choosing arch/arm and arch/arm64, but it still compiles and the source is there to do it.

I can't help you learn the difference, you will get there on your own.
A 64bit kernel can't run 32bit binaries, nor can a 32bit kernel run 64bit binaries.
You are confusing Linux kernel with Android kernel.
Android kernel 64bit uses a 64bit toolchain Android kernel 32bit uses a 32 bit toolchain neither kernel could possibly run any binaries compiled with the other toolchain.
But, instead of me trying to teach you the difference, go ahead and fix the camera with the 64bit binaries, no better teacher than hands on, get your hands dirty.

What's written there is 100% correct, that's why camera will never ever work, unless Blu releases an update.
That's the main reason I got rid of the phone, other phones don't have the same limitations that R1HD has.
My Life Max doesn't have the problem, hopefully the new R1HD plus doesn't either.

I hope to the new r1 hd it doesn't have this kind of problems is having a different processor anyway I read something like the new r1 hd plus has a 64 bit processor

I think that was just another lie Blu told, I am betting it's 32 bit.
If 32 bit and camera doesn't use junk libaries like R1HD, the phone can run many custom roms.
Most likely run same roms my Life Max can.
Should know soon enough a lot of people ordered the phone.
Whether is 64 bit or 32 bit.

When I will get to us I will order straight that phone who knows probably is having a 64 I didn't seen one in real life so I don't know yet just let's hope is a 64
