Database Develop

[DEVS] You too can build a CM-based AOSP ROM

Obviously, I am going to be cleaning up some bugs with the CM7 build...
But, for those of you who might be inclined to develop a CM-based AOSP ROM, feel free to check out my github source to see what's involved:
https://github.com/Hashcode
Or you can:
repo init -u https://[email protected]/Hashcode/cm4D3.git
repo sync
To pull the entire set of android files that I use for compiling the current build.
Please note that the Board Config is currently setup to generate Safestrap .zip files.

Great job
Thank you for everything you have done for the droid 3!

Is there a kitchen for DROID 3 roms. Running windows 7
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

You need to be running Linux to do this hardcore kind of stuff.

Like Ubuntu I had it set up in VB and detain. Was just wondering if there was some thing for Motorola roms out there. I have had HTC phones this my first moto with android on it.

I'm starting to tinker with building (learning, actually) ROMs. I'm running Linux Mint Debian - has there been a kitchen built for D3?

That should be
Code:

or whatever URL you want to use from the access URL box at https://github.com/Hashcode/cm4D3.
And of course "gingerbread" could be "ics" if your excitement about being on the bleeding edge overrides what should be a fairly sensible fear reaction to the term "bleeding edge".
@Hashcode: You don't use your own ALSA repos? (Comparing with my own generated manifest for your project...)
Also, are you planning on pulling newer Gingerbread manifest changes into your tree? I noticed CyanogenMod have gained a u8150 device tree, and I happen to have one of those, but your manifest doesn't list it...
Ooops. I have a u8510. >_< But the question stands...

Thank you for pointing out that my repo init line was wrong. I fixed it for those that were having issues.
Also, for those watching my manifest for ICS, I'm getting an error when syncing:
error: revision refs/heads/master in manifests not found
I'm trying to fix that. Correction: Fixed it and double-checked with a repo sync.
Some quick answers:
- I tried to customize the alsa source to fix some of the audio issues. But it ended up being a bit more complex than just changing ALSA. Motorola added a layer into the audio system for handling HDMI audio and in call audio volume.
When you build stock AOSP Gingerbread using the alsa drivers, the libaudio.so file ends up being all of the ALSA calls. If you examine the libaudio from the D3, you'll see that it is nothing of the sort. It's the customized mixer lib for RDS voice and HDMI audio. There's another lib from the phone: libaudio_ext.so which ends up being the alsa calls.
All of which made customizing just the alsa code risky at best as the further away from the version of alsa that was used on the phone, the less likely that the custom libaudio would work.
I probably still have the unfinished hardware_alsa git out on github, but it's not active in the current build.
- I can occasionally check for updates to the CM7 manifest and add them, or if you fork the manifest and add it in there that works as well.
Side Note: I may need to pick your brain on an EGL 0x0500 erorr I'm getting in the ICS code. I'm fairly certain it's an enum value that our version of the PowerVR drivers aren't set to handle, but I'd like to confirm that for my troubleshooting. And it seems that you might have some knowledge in that area

Where/how does someone begin working on building a ROM once they've downloaded these files? I'd rather dive into code and learn Android rather than using a menu driven wizard. Is there a tutorial somewhere? What tools are needed?

Some, but probably not enough. I'm happy to look, but I'm actually moving internationally tomorrow so I may not have 'net access for a week or so. >_< (That's why I've been trying so hard to get backup working. ^_^)
Once I'm settled in I will probably use fdisk to repartition my device or have a poke at hacking sd-ext support into safestrap, so I can start playing with custom ROMs.
Did you see my safestrap-ME863 nandroid patch in the Safestrap thread, BTW? It's got a couple of TODOs, but seems safe and roughly correct to me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19683372&postcount=249
It could also form the basis for detecting when /preinstall can't be used as safe-system although I didn't look to see if there's already code to do that.

Does anyone know of a site where I can peek at reference code for random things (Apps, Kernal etc.)? It'll make it easier to understand how the code works. I haven't look at any code yet so I don't even know what language apps and the os are programmed in. (Java, C, C++, Ruby)

Just pull down the repo as Hashcode describes in this thread - you'll have all of the Android source. To the best of my knowledge, it comprises of mostly C, C++, and Java, but there is probably a smathering of some other things like ASM, perl, BASH, etc.
And to those who are asking if there is a kitchen, there is, it's called make

AOSP 4.2 builds LEARN WITH ME HOW TO BUILD AND DEBUG ANDROID!

Hello everybody,
I haven't really done much on these forums, so when the AOSP source came out, I decided that now was the time for me to come and help. Pretty much anybody that wants to help right now can help, especially beginners if you want to learn how to build your own ROMs, as this is also my first ROM. I don't have a 64-bit computer, so I won't be able to do much except for Fridays when me and my friends (who have 64-bit computers) hang out. I know the Nookie devs a are working on cm10, but if they want to come in and help every so often, I would love that.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE PRE-PRE-ALPHA BUILDS! ONLY USER THESE BUILDS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE YOUR NOOK!
I am currently getting a goo.im account to host the builds on.
Thanks to anybody who decides to help.

Not to sound disrespectful but why do we need this thread? I'm just asking because wouldn't the nookie dev team just continue cm10.1 through the Nightlies thread? And if you follow cyanogenmod on G+ they have said they're still working on adding features from cm10 to the new branch of jellybean(4.2), so wouldn't these builds be a little premature?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Oh. Now I sound stupid. The point about cm10.1 still in development is definitely something I overlooked, but with the nookie devs just taking over the whole build, I disagree with that. One of the main points of this thread is to help people that want to build and debug but don't know how to. Since AOSP 4.2 is for the most part stable, I think I might work on that instead.

Because there is no actual development in this thread, i have moved it to general for now. Should development happen, we can look at moving it back.

Fair enough.

Okay well since I've got a few people here, might as well start. If anyone still wants to come in though, that's fine. Pretty much all I know at this'd point is that you need a 64-bit Linux computer. I'll go research a little after school tomorrow and report what I find. Also, we might as well include the 4.2.1 bug updates while we're at it so then my dad doesn't get kicked off my contacts list.

That's what everybody says. But they said the same thing about CM9 and I successfully built on my 32bit Ubuntu. But when I tried to move to CM10, it kept getting stuck, freezing. So now I am in the process of starting over with 64bit.

Yeah I don't have 64 either... Is the Acer c7 a 64bit computer because I could just hack Ubuntu on it, if not I could sign up for amazon ec2, but that requires a random number to call me and my parents would not be very happy with that.
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app

Okay, I was reading thru the source code tutorial on android.com, and it seems that building on a 32bit environment should in theory work, since all the required packages are i386 compatible:
For Ubuntu 10.04-11.10:
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc
And for Ubuntu 12.04 (Not officially supported, but should work since we'll work on the master branch):
Code:
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-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Once I get home, I will see if it will compile on my Kubuntu 12.04 32-bit laptop (since Kubuntu is an official derivative of Ubuntu, it will probably work, especially since it has the apt-get repos) and tell you guys what happens, maybe post a video.

okay, I installed all of the packages for 12.04 successfully, except for when I tried installing the sun-java6-jdk, I was told that it didn't work or something. but in the packages list, there is the openjdk, so i hope thats not a problem. right now im trying to free up some space because my stupid 40 gb hard drive (dont make fun!) doesnt exactly like having 30 gb free.
PS is anybody still even following this thread?

Do a web search for the sun-java6-jdk. It was removed from both conical and that maverick repository. It can still be installed once you find the right place. I just did it a few days ago. And I think it is required that it be sun rather than open.

Not sure for 4.2 but I built 4.1 lots of times using openjdk. The compiler complains about it but it works fine. Also andbot should work fine with some tweaks for 4.2

Im interested in this tread although i use a momo9 ... Im been wanting to learn how to . I run arch linux 64

Alright, for starters, proper java support is actually crucial when you think about the fact that Android is built almost entirely in java. So I would suggest to go to developer.android.com and set up an appropriate development environment upon a clean install of a stable linux os (clean, ideally, otherwise, YMMV.. so clean.).
Android Devs just put out bundled Eclipse + AndroidSDK + Eclipse ADT plugin for all relevent architectures and OSes. It's a one-click-download-and-develop... once you separately download from Sun the Java package that matches your environment (Windows, Mac, Linux [x86/x86_64]). I recommend an older Ubuntu or Mint, like the previous LTS.. Newer is not always better.
With Linux, you can simply grab the appropriate Java pack and extract it into the resulting ADT Bundle from Google directory. Open the compressed Java package, rename the folder to jre from jre.1.7.whatever.the.full.name.is. Then extract it to eclipse/jre. This allows you to jusr run the eclipse exec from directory and java will work flawlessly, in linux.
From this point you can set up the rest of the build environment with a clear mind that the resulting errors will be much simpler to triage.

[GUIDE] Building CM10.2 for Nexus 4 with Mac OS X 10.8.X [UPDATED: 8.8.2013]

This is a guide to build CyanogenMOD 10.2 (Android 4.3) for Google Nexus 4. This guide is for OS X Mountain Lion (10.8).
[size=+1]Pre Requirements:[/size]
1) go to App Store on your OS X and Download Xcode 4. Once that is installed, open Xcode and go to preferences. There you find a tab “DOWNLOADS”, open it and there you can find “Command line tools” and next to it click INSTALL. It will take a few minutes to download and install
2) Make sure you have the android-sdk downloaded and setup adb and fastboot, so they work. It is recommended to place the android-sdk to /usr/local/
[size=+1]Initializing the build environment[/size]
First we need to set up our OS X to be able to build Android. This needs some extra things compared to for example, building in Linux, but the main stuff is pretty much the same. So let’s get started then, shall we?
Open up Terminal and type
Code:
java
If you don’t have java installed you will get a prompt to install it.
Next we will install homebrew (you can also use macports if you like)
Code:
ruby <(curl -fsSk https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)
Now make sure android-sdk and homebrew are in $PATH
Code:
touch ~/.bash_profile && echo "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH:/usr/local/android-sdk/tools:/usr/local/android-sdk/platform-tools" >> ~/.bash_profile
I also recommend to add this edit to the .bash_profile file:
Code:
nano –w ~/.bash_profile
Code:
export BUILD_MAC_SDK_EXPERIMENTAL=1
Now run this and see if you need to update anything.
Code:
brew doctor
If you do (and you probably will once a day) type:
Code:
brew update
Now we need to get our dev packages
Code:
brew install git coreutils findutils gnu-sed gnupg pngcrush repo
Once that is done, run
Code:
brew outdated
if it shows anything, run
Code:
brew upgrade
Now run this the correct a few symlinks [Not sure if these are needed anymore]:
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gfind /usr/local/bin/find && ln -s /usr/local/bin/gsed /usr/local/bin/sed
Now to create our case sensitive image for our CM work [NOTE: the 60g can be changed to anything. It only takes up what it needs but I used 60GB]:
Code:
hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" -size 60g -volname "android" -attach ~/Desktop/Android
Now to create our working directory
Code:
cd /Volumes/Android && mkdir cm10.2 && cd cm10.2
[size=+1]Getting the source[/size]
Now to initialize the git and to download it
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
Download the sources:
Code:
repo sync
Wait until it is finished. It will take a long time, depending on your internet connection.
[size=+1]Obtain the device build files and proprietary files:[/size]
To do this we will use CyanogenMods "tool" called roomservice. Roomservice is replacing the old local_manifest.xml file. Just run the code below to create the file directly into the folder.
Code:
nano -w /Volumes/android/cm10.2/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
Paste the following lines into the file:
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="cm-10.2"/>
</manifest>
It seems that nowadays you only need to have the TheMuppets repo there, the roomservice process takes care of the rest and downloads the needed mako bits automatically. And actually it doesn't matter what you name the xml file under the local_manifests directory. The process loads every xml file from there in a alphabetical order. If you still have that local_manifest.xml file in your .repo directory, i suggest you remove that, because at that case that file will be read first and after that all the other from the local_manifests folder
Save the file. And rerun the code:
Code:
repo sync
Download the necessary pre-builts:
Code:
/Volumes/android/cm10.2/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
That is all. The sources are now ready.
[size=+1]Building CyanogenMOD[/size]
If you build now, you're probably gonna get kernel build errors regarding the missing elf.h header (this error might be device specific). Fortunately, we already have this file downloaded, so we only need to copy it to /usr/local/include:
Code:
cp /Volumes/android/cm10.2/external/elfutils/libelf/elf.h /usr/local/include
FINALLY, we are ready to build:
Code:
cd /Volumes/android/cm10.2 && source build/envsetup.sh && brunch mako
Change “mako” to something else if you want to build for another device (of course needs to be supported by CM)
Then we just let the Mac do the rest. Remember that it will take a while to do the build, and meantime you Macs fans will scream for mercy while CM punishes your system ☺
After the build is finished successfully you can find your newly created flashable zip by typing:
Code:
cd $out
Look for .zip file with a tag UNOFFICIAL
Happy building!

if you get a similar error like this when building, here is the solution:
Zcat: /volumes/android/cm10.1/out/target/product/mako/ramdisk.img.z: No such file or directory
then it's because zcat is old and broken. Do this to fix it and use the newer version: Gzcat
sudo mv /usr/bin/zcat /usr/bin/broken-zcat
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gzcat /usr/bin/zcat

Build times will depend on what Cpu, memory and hardrive you have.
My Macbook pro is a little older (2009) and is running a core 2 duo, with 8gigs of ram and a Momentus hybrid XT hardrive.
My build times are about 2.5 hours. Using ccache, and not doing a make clobber before the build, build times will drop down to about 30 minutes or less for me.
Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for the guide. Everything worked like a charm.
One thing I did, just to avoid any unknown problems was to download the 10.6 sdk and add it to the Xcode sdk folder just for a little extra insurance being new to building with my Mac.

i have this error any idea ? thank you for this excellent thread !

5gigs isä way too small.
The source hogs at least 15gb (about) and building takes at least the same. So I made a 70gb image so it wouldn't fill up

Awesome guide! Any chance you can tell us how to build it with the Linaro toolchain and Bionic stuff everyone says makes android faster?

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.

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.

I'm actually doing the sync now, with the https://github.com/P880-dev/android.git so i'm guessing i'm onto the right path!
Thanks!!

you are welcome.

don't worry if it bootloops, we all had it at least once.

It compiled!
But.. Of course it bootloops, as i expected! Maybe i should just try to compile it again? What did you do?

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

How To Android Development Part 1 (Setting Things up)

How to Android Development
Part 1 Setting Things Up ​Hi All,
I Fetched this Guide from @Anik_khan original post on XDA on ROM Building ,Kernel Compilation and All
So I Made this Post to Make you Learn How to
Build ROM ,Kernels more Simpler and Noob Friendly Way
First of All This Guide is Mostly Targeted to Android One (sprout) Devices Can Be Used for Any Other Device with some Edits :silly:
1)Requirements
i)A Ubuntu 14.04 or greater Distro 64 Bit Installed on PC or you can also use a Virtual Machine
*If you don't know what is Ubuntu Linux or Anything Else LOL Mate Step Back Do your Homework and Come Back Again*
ii)2GB or More RAM Minimum
iii)100GB+ HDD Space Available (1GB or More if you just want to Build Kernels)
iv) A Stable and Good Speed Broadband Connection with Unlimited Data (coz you are going to Download ‘n’ GB files)
v)Patience :v:angel:
2)Setting Up Build Environment
@akhilnarang had Created a Script to Setup the Environment Automatically
So Just Type this Command on Terminal I edited those Scripts with Manual Changes
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone git://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts
cd scripts
. build-environment-setup.sh
This Step will Install all the Required Packages
Congrats
YOUR BUILD ENVIRONMENT IS NOW SETUP
Now Move forward to Part 2 (Making your First Kernel )
*in editing*

@chiranjit_1998 update your repo, script is old, I've updated mine

Yup ,I'll Do that Thanks

Part 2 to banade bhai
