Building CM9 from Sources for O2X
This Guide is a Step by Step Guide to Build CM9 from official CM9 Sources.
It based on:
aMpeX`s [TUTORIAL] The Step-By-Step guide to build Cyanogenmod7 for the LG Optimus 2X
loganmc10`s [GUIDE] Building CM9 for G2X
I only change to P990, respectively CM9 and add the fix for working Baseband
You need:
- a installed Linux, (I use Ubuntu 11.10, 64 Bit)
- a fast PC or Notebook is recommended
- a fast internet-connections is recommended, (you have to download several GBs)
There are 10 Steps, (8 for building, and 2 optionals ):
1. Installing Build-Packages
2. Install and setup Android-SDK
3. Update path
4. Create directories
5. Install repository and download CM9 Sources
6. Fix for non working camera
6a. Fix the known issues
7. Compiling Unofficial CM9 Build
8. Fix unknown Baseband
9. Extended building
10. Optional changes
Some infos before start:
- read the whole Guide carefully, (possibly you have to read it a few times, untill you understand all steps)
- if you do it exactly as explained, there should be no problems, and the result is a working Unofficial CM9-Build
- don`t login to Linux as root
- if you get problems, feel free to PM me, if you can`t post in Dev-Forum
lets start,
1. Installing Build-Packages
install this for 32 bit and 64 bit:
Terminal:
type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
NOTE:
this will install Open-JDK instead of Sun-JDK,
(Sun-JDK isn`t longer official available for Ubuntu)
this will result in an error message at the beginning of compiling,
just ignore it, compiling will working fine.
If you want to install Sun-JDK instead of Open-JDK,
the user tonyp has made a tutorial.
use this line instead of above one
Terminal:
type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool
than go to this tutorial
for me the tutorial above doesn`t work (Ubuntu 11.10 64 Bit)
this is working for me:
open terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
(note: you have to press the tab button to be able to press ok, after the last command )
install this for 64 bit also:
Terminal:
type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-4.4-multilib g++-4.4-multilib
2. Install and setup Android-SDK
Download newest Android-SDK from here (Linux (i386) )
Extract the Zip-Package to a directory of your choice
Terminal:
navigate to the tools-folder of Android-SDK and type:
Code:
./android
this will launch the AVD-Manager
check repository, select newest repository, and click install packages
3. Update path
go to your Home-Directory, and press CTRL + H to show hidden files,
open .bashrc
and add this:
Code:
export PATH="/home/<yourusername>/<path to the android SDK >/platform-tools/:${PATH}"
export PATH="/home/<yourusername>/bin/:${PATH}"
now you have to log out and in again for the changes take effect.
now check if changes are working,
Terminal:
type:
Code:
adb devices
you should see something like this:
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

Click to collapse
4. Create directories
Terminal:
type:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/system
5. Install repository and download CM9 Sources
Install repository
Terminal:
type:
Code:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
enter name, email adress, and choose if you want colors or not
Download CM9 Sources:
Terminal:
type:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Code:
repo sync
depending on your internet connection speed this can take several hours
press CTRL + H
go to :
/android/system/.repo/
create:
local_manifest.xml
paste into local_manifest.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/lge/p990" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990" />
<project path="device/lge/star-common" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" />
<project path="vendor/lge" name="Owain94/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" remote="github" />
</manifest>
Terminal:
type:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Code:
repo sync
6. Fix for non working camera
download this zip-package MediaFire SolidFiles.
(I don`t make this patch, and don`t know who had made it, if you made it PM me and I`ll give credit for your work)
Extract the Zip-Package to a directory of your choice.
Terminal:
type:
Code:
cd ~/android/system
Code:
patch -p1 <
NOTE: after "<" there has to be a "blank space" (press spacebar)
now drop the first ...diff file from extracted package into terminal, the path will be automatically added,
run the created command,
the same procedure for the other 4 files
6a. Fix the known issues
for broken building:
open:
device/lge/p990/BoardConfig.mk
delete line:
Code:
BOARD_TOUCH_RECOVERY := true
For mobile data fix:
place this file to android/system/system/core/init/ (overwrite excisting file),
7. Compiling Unofficial CM9 Build
Terminal:
type:
Code:
~/android/system/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
Code:
brunch p990
depending on your PC or Notebooks specs compiling will take from 30 minutes to several hours
you can find your Rom-Zip-Package at:
/android/system/out/target/product/p990/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Fix unknown Baseband
open your Rom-Zip-Package and extract /system/build.prop
(don`t close Archivmanager)
open build.prop:
delete line:
ro.modversion=9-...-UNOFFICIAL-p990
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(thanks to owain94 for deleting line info)
find line:
ro.cm.version=9-...-UNOFFICIAL-p990
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
replace this line with:
ro.cm.version=9.0.0-RC1-p990-UNOFFICIAL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
save build.prop
drop modded build.prop into Archivemanager (/system, overwrite existing file)
Now your Unofficial CM9 Build is ready to install
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Extended building:
I decided to make a optional 9. Step to have a better building experience
(all tipps by owain94, thanks)
This Step is a replacement for Step 7!
Terminal:
type:
Code:
cd ~/android/system && clear && cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../ && clear && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p990 2> warn.log
this command downloads the cm-prebuilds,
sets up the build environment,
start the building,
exports all warnings and errors to a text file
and cleans the Terminal.
open another Terminal
type:
Code:
cd ~/android/system && clear && tail -f warn.log
this command cleans the terminal,
shows the warnings and errors in this second Terminal,
and keep the focus on it,
first terminal only shows the building process,
so it`s much easier to catch problems while compiling.
If you have connected two screens to your PC or Notebook,
you can also place second Terminal on second screen.
you can find your Rom-Zip-Package also at:
/android/system/out/target/product/p990/

open:
/android/system/packages/apps/Torch/res/values/config.xml
add or change to:
Code:
<bool name="useCameraInterface">true</bool>
open:

The -j part isn't needed anymore the build script figure it out on their own
and for the vendor files you can ad this to the local manifest
<project name="koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" />
it is less work we don't want to do to much
also this is maybe a nice addition
Code:
clear && cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../ && clear && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p990 2> warn.log
i use this build line
clear - make my terminal nice and empty
cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../ - get the cm prebuilts
clear - make the terminal clean again
. build/envsetup.sh - set up the build env
brunch p990 - lunch and bacon for the p990
2> warn.log - exports al the warnings and errors to a text file to keep the terminal clean
i have three screens attached to my pc
on one screen i run the above command (clear && cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../ && clear && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p990 2> warn.log)
on another screen i run this command (clear && tail -f warn.log) this will print (and keep track of) the warn.log file with all the errors and warnings
and on the other screen i do useless stuff hehe
anyway i really like to use 2 terminals it is just easier to catch problems
Nice tut mate!

great guide bro.
Edit:
If anyone wants to install the SUN JDK instead of Open JDK you can install it from the partner repository:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Thanks, for your replies, I'll change my Guide at the evening.

Thanks a lot !!
The Guide is updated, (big thanks to owain94).
I`ll add a new Step or Section (lets see, atm I don`t know) for extended Build-Line and possibly multiscreen using, I`ll test it while compiling for my One-S.
i am getting an error
make: *** No rule to make target `out/target/product/p990/obj/lib/libnvdispmgr_d.so', needed by `out/target/product/p990/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libsurfaceflinger_intermediates/LINKED/libsurfaceflinger.so'. Stop.
plz help me..
thanks for the tutorial.

did you sync the vendor files?
libnvdispmgr_d.so is a vendor file that cannot be build because we don't have the sources
you need to sync them from koush his github or extract the vendor files using the script in the device folder
good luck

If anyone wants to have SUN JDK instead of Open JDK it's still possible:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
I also put that in "my" post 3.
thanks for reporting, but as far as I know, sun has many security risks, isn`t it?

Hm I don't think so. As far as I know the reason why Open JDK is used in Ubuntu instead of Sun JDK is that Open JDK is fully open sourced while Sun JDK still uses some pre compiled closed source binaries. Some open source fanatics might call this a security risk as they can't check the source themselves, but apart from that their shouldn't be any risks.

Overview
0. Preparation
I. Installation of the required packages
II. Installing JAVA
III. The sources
IV. Building the ROM
V. Rebuilding with newest sources
VI. FAQ
VII. Building ParanoidAndroid ROM
0. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind
Time
Patience
First of all you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A NORMAL USER. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
I. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ 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-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils schedtool pngcrush xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Set the links:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
II. Installing JAVA
You need a Java Development Kit for building CM10. Recommended is the SUN JDK 6. As of writing the most recent version is SUN JDK 6 Update 38.
1. Download the jdk-6u38-linux-i586.bin from the Oracle/Sun Java Download Area. If you are on 64-bit Ubuntu as I am, you should grab jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin.
2. Make the bin file executable:
Code:
$ chmod +x jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
3. Extract the bin file:
Code:
$ ./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
4. Move the extracted folder to this this location:
Code:
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_38 /usr/lib/jvm/./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
5. Install the new Java source in system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/java 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javaws 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javadoc 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javah javah /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javah 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javap javap /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javap 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/jar 1
6. Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
7. Check Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
8. Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
III. The sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Cyanogenmod.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm10
$ cd ~/cm10
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished (takes a lot of time!)
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
Tip from ethansp: If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
Initialize the environment
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
Obtain the proprietary files:
Create a file with the name local_manifest.xml in the .repo directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager.
Create it with
Code:
gedit ~/cm10/.repo/local_manifest.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990" path="device/lge/p990" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" path="device/lge/star-common" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star" path="kernel/lge/star" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project path="vendor/lge" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ ~/cm10/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
And you are done!
IV. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch p990
And building process starts. Now have patience. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older and slower machines.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm10/out/target/product/p990
It is called cm-10-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-p990-zip. You can flash it via CWM as usual.
If you are having trouble with the WIFI not working with your newly flashed ROM, check the FAQ section C below for the solution.
V. Rebuilding with newest sources
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm10
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch p990
Building takes less time than it took for creating it the first build because it's only rebuilding new parts and using old parts that haven't changed.
Happy building!
VI. FAQ
A. How to tell how long it takes to build the ROM?
First, it depends on your hardware, second, whether it is your first build or a daily rebuild. To get a first number, you can use the “time” command and add the “brunch” command to it.
E.g.
Code:
time brunch p990
So the system will tell you how long it took to build the ROM. Then you know next time if it will be a short or long coffee break while waiting for your build to finish.
B. Is there a way to speed up the building process?
Actually, there are a lot of ways to speed up the process. Here are some of them:
1. Hardware:
When you build the first time it takes half an hour on fast machines and up to many hours on slower machines. What counts most is raw CPU power. Multi-core computers with a lot of fast RAM are recommended. The more cores the better. Memory-wise a setup with more than 8GB with aggressive but of course also stable timings is also adding to the building speed. A fast HDD or even SSD doesn't hurt either. When resourceful, you can use a system with multiple SSDs and gain more speed than single storage systems. But in most cases the CPU will be the biggest bottleneck. Check with tools, e.g. System Monitor in Ubuntu – and watch the resources tab to find out your bottleneck.
2. System-Software:
If you are using virtual machine software then try to optimize it. Look for “virtualization support” in the BIOS. Give it as much CPU power and memory as you can from your host system. Whenever it is possible it is recommended that you install the system directly, as the virtualization solution usually comes with a performance drop compared to a system installed and booted from directly.
3. The building software:
a. Out Directory
You can use a separate output directory for your builds, e.g. on a different hard drive with a fast file system.
Append
Code:
export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE=<path-to-your-out-directory>
to your .bashrc file.
b. Caching
You can setup Ccache, a system that acts as a compiler cache for all the parts of the building that are written in C. This is excellent if you rebuild often. But keep in mind that building the first time takes even longer when you have Ccache activated than building without it. So for first tests it is fine to build without Ccache enabled.
To enable Ccache add
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
to your .bashrc file
Optional: If you like to set the path, where the Ccache will be stored on your own, you have to add another line to the .bashrc
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
Now run this command once to initialize the Ccache
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 15G
C. I built the ROM successfully. I flashed it too, but the WiFi is not working anymore. What can I do?
The efforts of the CyanogenMod devs can be considered work in progress. And so it happens that features get broken while trying to fix others...
If you suffer from this then take the file 'wireless.ko'. You find the file below as an attachment. Push or copy it to '/system/lib/modules' and overwrite the file with the same name there. Change the rights to 644 or rw- r-- r-- It's the same as read/write by owner, read by group and read by other.
Without reboot, you can switch on the WiFi now. And you should be back in the game. Thanks to p.valenta for confirmation that it is working.
D. I checked the free space of the system partition. There isn't any. What can I do?
Without changing the size of the system partition not so much. But you can squeeze out a few MBs by removing some files from the created ROM image:
E.g. all the videos in /system/media/video can be deleted.
You can erase the /system/media/bootanimation.zip if you want.
Check /system/media/audio/, there you can delete some ringtones you are not using.
And if you know what you are doing, you can even get rid of some .apk files from '/system/app'.
For example LiveWallpapers.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk, CMWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk are expendable.
E. I don't want to use Sun's/Oracle's Java Development Kit. Can I use another one instead?
Yes, you can. But using Sun's version is recommended by Google and CyanogenMod for building ROMs. So consider yourself warned. You can use the OpenJDK 6 that you will find already on your system if you installed the necessary packages as shown above. What you finally need to do is checking which Java version is active.
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
Each time choose the OpenJDK6 variant.
Verify the symlinks: Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
When everything you see says 'OpenJDK6' then you can build your ROM with the usual commands.
VII. Build your own ParanoidAndroid ROM based on CM10 for LG P990
IMPORTANT! THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP GUIDE THAT REQUIRES A WORKING BUILDING ENVIRONMENT.
Preparation
You need a tested and fully working building environment (Ubuntu 12.04/12.10, Java 6, etc.). If you do not have one already, please follow this guide throughly first and build a normal CM10 ROM from sources as a test. If everything works as it should, then you can proceed with the following lines.
ParanoidAndroid Environment
Let's start.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
Create a directory named 'paranoid' in your home folder
Code:
$ mkdir ~/paranoid
Initialize the Repo in your newly created directory:
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ repo init -u git://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android.git -b jellybean
Before downloading the files you need to edit a file. One line leads to sync errors and has to be deleted from the file. Edit 'default.xml' in /paranoid/.repo/manifests/
(Hint if you can't see the .repo directory: it's hidden, so to make it visible press Ctrl+H) or use this line
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/.repo/manifests/default.xml
Search (Ctrl+F) for 'ParanoidPreferences' and remove the whole line. Save and close the 'default.xml' file.
We need to add some LGE (P990) specific repositories as well. You can either copy the 'local_manifest.xml' file (it's the same!) from your cm10-build-environment or create a new file in /paranoid/.repo/
To create a new file use
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/.repo/local_manifest.xml
Insert the following lines
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990" path="device/lge/p990" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" path="device/lge/star-common" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star" path="kernel/lge/star" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
</manifest>
Save it.
Sync the repositories (takes time!)
Code:
$ repo sync
Take a looong coffee break.
A few files
After the successful sync process go to 'paranoid/vendor/pa/products/'.
Create a new file with the name 'pa_p990.mk'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/products/pa_p990.mk
Insert these lines:
(lines changed, xhdpi to hdpi, thanks rugglez)
Code:
# Check for target product
ifeq (pa_p990,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))
# Define PA bootanimation size
PARANOID_BOOTANIMATION_NAME := HDPI
# OVERLAY_TARGET adds overlay asset source
OVERLAY_TARGET := pa_hdpi
# include ParanoidAndroid common configuration
include vendor/pa/config/pa_common.mk
# Inherit CM device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/lge/p990/cm.mk)
PRODUCT_NAME := pa_p990
GET_VENDOR_PROPS := $(shell vendor/pa/tools/getvendorprops.py $(PRODUCT_NAME))
endif
Save it.
Open 'AndroidProducts.mk' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/products/' with
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/products/AndroidProducts.mk
and add these lines to then end of the file:
Code:
ifeq (pa_p990,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))
PRODUCT_MAKEFILES += $(LOCAL_DIR)/pa_p990.mk
endif
Save it.
Create a file called 'p990.proprietaries' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorprops/'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorprops/p990.proprietaries
Code:
[
{
"account": "TheMuppets",
"repository": "proprietary_vendor_lge",
"target_path": "vendor/lge",
"revision": "jellybean"
}
]
Save it.
Open 'vendorsetup.sh' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorsetup.sh
Add this line
Code:
add_lunch_combo pa_p990-userdebug
Save it.
Get CM Prebuilts
Now go to
Code:
$ ~/paranoid/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Building ParanoidAndroid
Ready to go! Build your ROM now with
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ ./rom-build.sh p990
The compiling takes around the same amount of time as when building CM10. Half an hour minimum, up to a few hours on slower systems. You will find your CWM flashable zip in 'paranoid/out/target/product/p990/'. It is called 'pa_p990-version-date-time.zip'
Rebuilding
Everytime you want to rebuild or build a new version, just change to the directory, resync the sources and start building:
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ repo sync
$ ./rom-build.sh p990
If you haven't enlarged your system partition yet, you have to delete some files or the ROM probably won't fit.
Deletable files
/system/media/: delete bootanimation.zip, saves 9.4 MB
/system/media/video/: delete all files, saves 6.4 MB
/system/media/audio/ringtones/: keep one or two, delete the rest, saves up to ~8 MB
You can even delete some system apps (.apk) from '/system/app/' like LiveWallpapers.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk, CMWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
I would personally love it if people included instructions for other distros. Not everything uses apt-get. That's kind of just me being nitpicky, but I've compiled CM9 on Archlinux with substituting a few things.
Also, what happened to the month of letting RC shine?

Google their advice is to use ubuntu if you want to use a distros if your own choices you are probably advanced enough to change the instructions to your needs
And about Ricardo his month it is only a tut to compile it yourself you don't have to share it

I guess I could always post my own adapted instructions! Maybe some day. Ahah.
As funny as it may seem to u, instructions to compile CM10 on different distro than Ubuntu would be highly appreciated. Not everyone uses Ubuntu (I do actually), so u may help someone trying to set it up on their distro...
Just my 2 cents....

Hi, i'm trying to build following your guide.
I have a little problem with step 5.
When i put the line exactly like your
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac
I get fail, system told me they need prority in entire numeric. I get it work with this:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
Have to do the same with the other 2 commands.
Hope this help someone stucked.

As owain already said, we devs have decided to wait for 3-4 weeks before using his work and releasing it as an "own" ROM.
This does only affect releasing a ROM, not building it.
I will always encourage everone to build their own ROM for their own purpose, there's nothing wrong with that. And you will learn a lot

HerrKuk is right. If you try to compile it on a 32-bit system you will see a lot of errors. As JBQ stated here, a 64-bit OS is mandatory.

We all understand rest of the devs here are waiting for RC Shine, thats fine. But as these nightly builds are having too many annoying bugs liek slow battery charging, wifi-battery drain issue, screen wake issue, power button issue, which makes it impossible to even test, forget making it daily driver. In fact even some pals are not able to install it properly (4,5 builds). I dont understand why rest of the devs are not making fixes to these various issues in this nightlies. Other devs are expert who can understand this seperate issues and can make patches till a month, before actually making own custom roms.
Uptil now the fixes suggested by some members are either not working or even making it worse sometimes.
Devs, Please think again for your strong valuable expert fixes. How about a single file parmanent patch with all possible fixes? Will appreciate. Sorry if asking too much or out of protocol. I dont know much what you devs have decided long time back.
Was on the latest build from RC and on bb v20c and the ril which came with the build....wifi was working perfectly and I confirm without a big drain of battery....it was richly smooth

How to build a CyanogenMod/Omni/Android Based Rom from source using only a Linux Terminal
A First for XDA I believe? So why this tutorial?
Originally when I was searching about for tutorials on how to build from source, they were all specific to those who use a GUI and this included downloading .zips with a browser and editing files through text editors, extracting files to certain locations and executing files through the file explorer such as "get-prebuilts.sh". There were some that used the linux terminal more then they needed too, this was helpful but not specific, this isn't going to be a tutorial like you see everywhere else, this will be made more specific to those who use either a remote machine, or people who want to use just the Linux terminal like a badass! This will have the commands I use, they may not be the most universally used or the simplest they can be but it's not broke so I shan't fix it! All these tutorials, for me, meant a lot of personal work google-ing and searching my way through commands, this was great as it has helped me learn a lot about Linux Terminal commands, but it has also caused me countless issues, such as uploading my final product and navigating around is a real pain in the ass. This meant it took me quite a while to get my first ever build using just the Linux terminal, and uploading it.
ForewordRead first
For this tutorial I will try not to make it too device/situation/rom specific because, then that means people have to make changes, which, we will have experienced never ends well, but I will have two variations of the command, the first command will be the generalised command using a HTML style coding for where you should make your changes, an example of this would be for the code <DeviceName>, you would replace it with your device name minus the <>signs (obviously). To then check if you had done it right, I will add in my device name which for this tutorial will be the LG Optimus 4xHD (codename p880). As this may become confusing with many <*> codes popping up, and there are many codenames and device names to keep up with, I will be adding a legend/key with some of the syntax I will be using and what it means, but also include some of the more popular codename and manufacturer names for those who do not know what they are. This tutorial will not tell you how to set up a remote machine, only use a Linux terminal and nothing else much. It may also include a hidden "GUI Cheat" for those with GUI to check if you have done a step correctly. This will be aimed at Ubuntu 13.10 64bit, as you need 64bit to compile (to my knowledge anyway)
Setting Up Your Build Environment
Okay so the easy-ish bit, this is mainly for people who either the administrator of their "Build Server" or Remote Machine as most "user-based" ones will almost always have theirs set-up for you. This will also be required by users who have set up Ubuntu/other Linux distribution on a host/local machine. You probably will not be able to do this on a user based Remote Machine anyway due to an absence of root access, if this is an issue and one is not setup and you do not have elevated privileges, email the corresponding admin for help! I can't help you here! So now down to business!Installing the required packages should be as follows, although, if they do not work just google it, I'm sure there are many tutorials with many ways to set up a build environment:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
NOTEIf any GUI comes up for any installation (not sure, been a while since I did it) It should be pretty self-explanatory, for example arrow keys to navigate, enter to select an option etc.
Setting Up Repo's
Okay, so repo is a blanket term here. It can be split up in order to simplify things for the purpose of this tutorial. Repo is a package type thing of commands for handling your repo's. You will need this for Initialising repo's (Repo init) and for syncing sources (Repo sync). I will not be going into different flag meanings, only those which I use in this tutorial.
Installing the Repo package should be as follows, again google and let me know if I am wrong or it doesn't work!:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
NOTEEach $ sign represents a line of command, so you should press enter between commands. For example "mkdir ~/bin <ENTER>" <ENTER> being the action by the user. GUI Users on a local machine may need to reboot at this time or redo it a couple of times until it works, remote users should just disconnect and reconnect again.
Setting up working folders and understanding Directories
Many tutorials will have this step differing from one another, this is because it's all down to personal preference. I prefer to have just the RomName because it's less work, but some prefer to have "Android/<ROMNAME>" or "Android/system/<ROMNAME>". This is because of Git, if a package is called Android_frameworks_Base, it represents the directory <ROMNAME>/frameworks/base/.
Setting up your working directories is dependent on which Rom you are building.
Generalised Code
Code:
$ mkdir ~/<ROMNAME>
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>
Example Code
Code:
$ mkdir ~/carbon
$ cd ~/carbon
NOTEThis is creating a directory (mkdir) and navigating to it (cd) to go back when navigating use the "~" sign, it means "Home/<USERNAME>/" it skips some typing is all!
Initialising and Downloading the Repo
Okay so the repo part is perhaps the second longest of all processes you will have when building, it downloads the sources you need to compile with, this is approximately ~18gb maybe? Possibly? So you may need a fair partition or free space on your HDD/SDD for the building process as well.
Generalised Code:
Code:
repo init -u <GITHUB_LINK_IN_ROM_MANIFEST/ANDROID> -b <CORRESPONDING_BRANCH>
Specific Code:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/CarbonDev/android.git -b kk
NOTEAt this point you will see some code and some download stuff, it's just the repo fetching some stuff, at this point, you will be prompted to enter a name and an email, you will either be prompted to enter it, or you will be given the commands needed to do it, this needs to be done, once completed, re-initialize the repo. This will only happen on your first time.
Downloading the code:
Code:
repo sync -j#
NOTE This is going to start the downloading of the sources, the -f is a force flag, this will stop you from receiving any errors in your repo and will re rep sync the source. Other flags can be -j which specifies how many objects to download at once, I choose not to use it but the syntax is -j<NUMBER_OF_JOBS> for example -j10, this should be used in conjunction with the speed and bandwidth of the internet connection supplied, -j4 is default and using a higher flag for a better connection will speed things up considerably, be sure not to over do it thou. See this post for more details!
Setting Up For Your Device
Okay so one of the more important parts, and the parts people usually use the GUI and browsers etc. for, this will be how to do it without those aids. Well on the remote machine anyway, a host machine with GUI is probably needed for changes and links. This will set up vendor, kernel, and device tree.
General Code in order Kernel, Vendor, Device Tree:
Code:
$ mkdir -p kernel/<MANAFACTURER>/
$ cd kernel/<MANAFACTURER>/
$ git clone <KERNEL_GIT_LINK> <DEVICE_CODENAME/KENREL_NAME>
$ ls
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>/vendor/
$ git clone <VENDOR_GIT_LINK> <MANAFACTURER>
$ ls
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>/device
$ mkdir <MANAFACTURER>
$ cd <MANAFACTURER>
$ git clone <DEVICE_TREE_GIT_LINK> <DEVICE_CODENAME>
$ ls
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>
Specific Code in order Kernel, Vendor, Device Tree:
Code:
$ mkdir -p kernel/lge
$ cd kernel/lge
$ git clone https://github.com/P880-dev/android_kernel_lge_x3.git x3
$ ls
$ cd ~/carbon/vendor
$ git clone https://github.com/P880-dev/proprietary_vendor_lge.git lge
$ cd ~/carbon/device
$ mkdir lge
$ cd lge
$ git clone https://github.com/P880-dev/android_device_lge_p880.git p880
$ ls
$ cd ~/carbon
NOTE There are shorter ways I'm sure, but this works. "ls" checks files in the directory just to double check you did it right. To find the git link it will be on the github of the tree on the left in a box. This only clones the default branch, if it's different you must fork the tree and click settings>default branch and change to the needed one, and use the git clone box from there. Device tree's can be edited per rom on github, or in terminal, for the purpose of using terminal, I'll add to this tutorial.
Making Changes to files
If you are building whichever rom was on your default branch then I guess this step isn't too important for you unless you want to check the files over or you want to edit other files like envsetup.sh to change the build tools versions. This will use the cd, ls, and pico function for editing files. To change configs and stuff in .mk files in device tree. Most people would use gui for file editing and that's why I am showing you the method to do so with ease from the Linux terminal.
General Code:
Code:
$ cd /device/<MANAFACTURER>/<DEVICE_CODENAME>/
$ ls
$ pico <FILENAME>
Specific Code:
Code:
$ cd device/lge/p880
$ pico cm.mk
NOTE This will open a text editor, the key at bottom represents ctrl + <LETTER> to do different functions. The main ones you use will be "ctrl x" because that is exit. After that you can either edit the name after the changes you made, for example changing CM to Carbon if you were building carbon. You can navigate to any directory, and pico <FILENAME> to edit it! It is easier to make these edits using github after forking a repo, usual changes need to be done to cm.mk and vendorsetup.sh, to know what needs changing, swap cm with the name of the rom, and check the vendor_rom of the rom for the config directories, for nfc and carbon, place a # at the start of the line, this is called hashing out. Change cm.mk when saving or by using mv <FILENAME> <NEW_FILENAME>.
Building the Rom
Okay so now that wasn't too bad was it? Setting up? Some devices that are officially supported do not need the above steps, but then again, if you was officially supported, why would you need to build? Anyways, this will show you how to get the pre-builts (if needed) and how to start the build of the rom. Cheated and used the GUI yet? If not, Good on ye! I will be adding the commands for adding legacy drivers and some other miscellaneous codes and commands in the next post! Including ccache for those who are on host/local machines rather than remote machines.
Generalised Code:
Code:
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>/vendor/cm
$ . get-prebuilts.sh
$ cd ~/<ROMNAME>
Option #1: $ . build/envsetup.sh
Option #2: $ source build/envsetup.sh
[I]This last step varies between rom, so I will give the most generalised, check the manifest or building tutorial for the Rom to find out the way to build[/I]
$ brunch <DEVICE_CODENAME> -j<NUMBER_OF_CPU_CORES_+1>
Specific Code:
Code:
$ cd ~/carbon/vendor/cm
$ . get-prebuilts.sh
$ cd ~/carbon
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch
$ corresponding number
$ make carbon -j18
NOTE This will then start the build, this can take from 1-10hours to build depending on performance and other variables, it takes me ~1hour 15mins for a build of a KitKat Rom. Each ROM has a different build script, this means it can be a different chosen command each time, brunch is the most commonly used, check their manifest or look for a ROM specific building tutorial. -j# is the amount of jobs it will compile at one time, putting an insane number will not make it build faster. Put the amount of cores +1 to be safe. My server has 16cpu threads, and can handle -j18. A -j flag is not needed. Some build scripts support a time brunch <DEVICE_CODENAME> flag to time how long the build has taken. You may be prompted to enable colour display, enable, it looks pretty.
Completed Build, Now What?
So on this journey you have set up a build environment, set up your repo's, and device specific changes needed to buid and you have built a rom. So how do you access the build you just worked your ass off for? For the average user like me who does not have access to ftp, you can either use a program called plowshare as a non root user, or use a command line tool made by xda user GermainZ to upload to devhost using a python script. This is what we will set up next. Or you can use the GUI and extract the Rom and move to your phone straight, for us using remote machines we cannot do this, so we must upload.
Devhost Set-Up code (supports Anon Uploads):
Code:
$ cd ~/
$ git clone git://github.com/GermainZ/dev-host-cl.git dev-host-cl
$ cp dev-host-cl/devhost-py2.py ~/bin/devhost
$ chmod +x ~/bin/devhost
Uploading your ROM:
Code:
$ cd out/target/product/<DEVICE_CODENAME>/
$ ls
$ devhost upload -u <USERNAME> -p <PASSWORD> <ROM_ZIP_FILE_NAME>
Example:
Code:
$ cd out/target/product/p880
$ ls
For anon upload: $ devhost upload CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL.zip
For user upload: $ devhost upload -u username -p password CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL.zip
$ cd ~/carbon
Before building again make sure you either:
Code:
A: $ make clean
B: $ make clobber
To remove the directory fully:
Code:
$ cd ~/
$ rm -rf <ROM_FOLDER_NAME>
NOTEThis is installing the script for python 2, if you use python change "python-py2.py" to just "python.py". Do this if it doesn't work first time for you also. Plowshare will be in the miscellaneous post below this one for other codes for users who do not wish to use devhost. The link to the Rom will be on the bottom of the terminal after it is finished uploading. Some errors are server based, make sure you check the error if you are given one.
Did you make it?
Did you manage to complete it without using GUI and cheating? I bet you did! Post in the thread (Don't quote anything) saying you successfully completed the challenge of using no GUI and link to the finished product and I wall add your name to the "Hall of Fame" that will be placed either at the bottom of this thread or on the bottom of the next post! This should now help give you more experience in building from source with a Linux terminal for uses who have no previous experience, or are new to having access to a remote machine.
Foot Note
So here is my tutorial on how to build a rom from source using no gui and only the Linux terminal, it is a longer process but is the only process when using a remote machine. I hope I made it easy to understand and I hope you will stay to read the other miscellaneous codes and commands that are still to come on the next post. This tutorial was written up by scratch by me, I thank GermainZ for the devhost script, but I had no help in writing up this tutorial, I believe it may also be a first for xda as when I was searching, I didn't find one to follow. Commands in this are done the long way I know. I will explain why and add how to shorten them and some other shortcuts in the miscellaneous section at the bottom of this thread.
Fluoxetine.
Miscellaneous
Okay so as promised throughout the thread this section is going to contain other codes that may be useful to you (after gaining experience) including some shortcuts for coding that are really simple, it will also include other scripts such as plowshare for those who hate devhost (can't see why you would thou). I plan to continuously add to this part of thread with extra goodies, so keep posted here. For this purpose I will be using HIDE markers for each code as they are optional, and not for everyone. The key for the HTML style syntax I used for this thread (as self-explanatory as it is) will come at the bottom of my opening posts for this thread, kinda like to round it off you could say haha. Logically they should go at the top, however I am neither Spok nor Sheldon Cooper!

Just Me for now, to get your name put here (will be tagged) just post in thread with an [B]"Hey Fluoxetine! I completed the building with Linux Terminal Challenge, Here is my finished product (Link to product) and I didn't cheat by using the GUI! You're the best!"[/B]
Closing Statement
Well guys, I thank you for taking the time to read and follow my tutorial on building from source using only the Linux terminal, this is a great way to build some experience, maybe gain some confidence in building from source and help you get some original work under your belt! To my knowledge, I believe this is the first tutorial which is specifying on how to build using just the Linux terminal and with some extra goodies! I will keep this updated as both Linux, and android evolve in order to keep it up to date, in mainstream with xda and to just make users life that little bit easier. I think this also proves, even noobs can turn things around by studying up, I managed to learn and write all of this within 3weeks of having an android phone! (16, had an iPhone before, big mistake) Would be great to have this featured on xda *Hint Hint* Vote for it! *Hint Hint*. Wonder if this could qualify for xda university material? Haha, anyways, hope this helped!
Fluoxetine.
Other Stuff No One Will Read
Thanks go out to Rom Dev Teams, xda for giving a place to post this, GermainZ for his devhost script, and Danny19901 for testing and proof reading basically anything and everything I shove infront of him! Haha!
Donations
I don't like Electronic Payments, the middle man always takes his cut and it's not fair, I don't want donations, cut out the relay and the time, PM with the amount you want to Donate, and I'll send you the link to an amazon item with my details for you to buy for me and have sent straight to me! Would be much appreciated! Will probably be food, I love food :'3
Requests for Rom builds or additions to this post
PM, PM, PM, I do not care about getting messages (In fact it makes me feel loved) So do not be scared to request a Rom build, or request I add something I have missed out from this tutorial! All requests welcome, however this is not going to be a Q&A Thread with compilation issues, it is purely for the knowledge of how to compile, if you have problems with setting up/changing files/navigating, by all means post, all "Error" posts that are not specific to me will be cleaned because I probably won't know how to fix ^.^
Some Hardware Issues
Okay so some of users out there will be thinking "Hmm, is my hardware good enough to build a whole rom with, I can't even run battlefield or -otherGameHere-. The short answer to this is that you probably can, it may just take a little while longer for you, I think you need to have a 64bit machine full stop. However you also need RAM, a fair bit of it, at least 4gb if you plan to compile and nothing else. If not, you can compile on 1ghz, just will take a while and may freeze so keep checking and make the terminal as small as you can. SWAP May be your best friend for those with GUI, this doesn't apply for Remote Machine Users. You can format a partition on your HDD/SSD, or on a USB Stick (preferred) as a Linux Swap partition of 4gb+ to use as extra Rom, just format and swap-on using Gparted which should be installed on Ubuntu standard.
GPL, Disclaimer, And Goodbye
So here we go, if you do build a Rom following this tutorial, be sure to release/add the kernel source on github to your thread in order to be compliant with the GPL, otherwise you may be in a spot of trouble, that being said I am not responsible for anything that happens to you/your machine/your phone/tab/anything really, unless this wins you the lottery or a similar payload, in which case I love you and we should get married (No Homo) haha.
Additions, Edits, Other stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else really haha
Okay so what about the other types of cool things you can do to make this maybe a little bit easier? Well even like you guys probably are i am also still learning how to properly use git, and linux etc. so here i will be adding any of the cool things i learn. This will be great as a reference for me to look back at resources and recollect any information that may filter out of my brain, but may also be useful for you to learn at the same rate as i do! So check it out
Okay so today (18.02.14) i found a cool little trick using .sh files to help with the whole setting up malarcky and can make it easier if you plan to build the same rom on a weekly/nightly basis.
Okay, so what you can do whilst in the terminal is to add a file on a text basis, you can do this by running
Code:
$ pico setup.sh
This will open up the text editor on a blank document in which you can edit yourself, this is what you need, to begin with you should probably aim to write something for on screen guide/a type of ui just to let you know whats happening, this will work like a build script does, infact the same method can be applied there. Okay so whatneeds to go into it? First you want the print, this is displayed using a command known as echo.
Code:
echo 'Whatever you want to write'
This will displayed when you execute the script. So what next? Well you can choose to have it run a ui print after each action or just once at the start and then leave it to default ui to guide you. So how do you set the actions you want to do? Simply just start writing the commands!
Code:
echo 'setting up'
mkdir -p kernel/<MANUFACTURER> && git clone <KERNEL_CLONE_LINK> <CODENAME> && cd ~/<ROMNAME>/vendor && git clone <VENDOR_CLONE_LINK>
<MANUFACTURER> && cd ~/<ROMNAME> && mkdir <MANUFACTURER> && cd <MANUFACTURER> && git clone <DEVICE_CLONE_LINK> <CODENAME> && cd
~/<ROMNAME>/vendor/cm && sh get-prebuilts && cd ~/<ROMNAME> && . build/envsetup.sh && breakfast <CODENAME> && brunch <CODENAME> -j7 && cd
~/<ROMNAME>/out/target/product/<CODENAME>/
This will set up the kernel, vendor, and device and start building the rom, you may want to remove/add steps but that is how you can do it if you want to build multiple times, this can take a while to ammend for each different rom you use but it works like a dependencies file. To add UI after each one just add it after each step (short version example to follow)
Code:
echo 'setting up'
Mkdir -p kernel/<MANUFACTURER>
echo 'Cloning Kernel now'
Save this file with ctrl +w and save as a .sh file. Once this is done and in your root, working directory you can simply do:
Code:
. setup.sh
Or whichever you set it as!
NOTE
This may not always work, but it is a good way to set up quickly and efficiently, if a step goes wrong it is best to continue manually rather then re-executing the file, for those with GUI, you can just double click the sh file, this does include the prebuilts from CM, you cann a step by using the && command or create multiple scripts to run one after the other to do a separate job. This does require default branches on github to be the ones you are going to be using. The one i use as an example for carbon is as follows
Code:
echo "Setting up Kernel, Vendor, and Device ready to build Carbon Rom"
mkdir -p kernel/lge && cd kernel/lge && git clone https://github.com/P880-dev/android_kernel_lge_x3.git x3 && cd ~/carbon/vendor && git clone https://github.com/P880-dev/proprietary_vendor_lge.git lge && cd ~/carbon/device && mkdir lge && cd lge && git clone https://github.com/Fluoxetine/android_device_lge_p880.git p880 && cd ~/carbon && . build/envsetup.sh && lunch p880 && make carbon -j30 && cd out/target/product/p880/

btw i didnt know there are some gui tools for building romsXD
If I may add a suggestion repo sync -f is not the best idea (at least for the first sync), as if a repo can't be downloaded, it just gets skipped, but the repo script still does on syncing, which means you may be missing some source code in case something goes wrong.
So repo sync should be better, at least for the initial sync. Also, the -j flag can speed up things extremely, on systems with a good internet connection, the default is -j4 (if you don't specify another value), but if you run this on a speedy connection, it will slow the DL extremely down.
I, for one, am running -j20 on my home connection (~1.2MB/s DL), but -j80 on a server, I have access to (dunno the exact max speed, but it's fast enough to sync CM in under 7 minutes ). -j4 would take an eternity, as it cannot use the entire bandwidth of the server
BTW, the codenames and manufacturers usually are all lowercase

Java 7 (1.7) is also compatible. It isn't officially supported, and you might run into problems compiling pure AOSP, but other custom ROMs should compile just fine
Thanks for the feedback i'm still having 1 question the Vendor, the unoffical tree is completly clear but i can't find it in the offical source so i mean something like

Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar

when i had problems with compiling and got some famous errors i changed to this OpenJDK6 with this method and it solved it so if is not solution for your problem maybe its helpful for others
when i was compiling some time ago i must read few compiling threads to make it work and understand it
ok probbably this is a really stupid from my side but this is what i did.
and probbably i'm too noob for this, but i tried this:
i downloaded by example rastakat.
downloaded all the steps... without any error.
But in the last step when i type lunch and i have to choose wich version i would like to compile i can't find P880......
i have the feeling i have to edit some stuff but to be honest i don't know that yet....
will try later on.
maybe you need custom local manifest to p880-dev sources or official p880 sources..

You've set yourself a pretty hard task, first of all, compiling a yet unsupported ROM, but mostly a (more-less) AOSP ROM...
this means you can't use lunch, but you need to do the following:
Download the p880-dev device tree, kernel and vendor blobs
Edit the "inherit" paths inside the .mk files of the device tree
Without (except for the above mentioned) changes, you can run "lunch cm_p880-eng"
Then you can make -j<your_value> bacon
Hello to everyone, my name is Tkd-Alex and I'm Italian :good: . Excuse me if I do English errors.
I woult to build the Cyanogenmod 12 for Xperia T mint by a source code of CM. Thanks to the cm wiki as I understand how this works. But I've errors with it! I hope you can help me. :angel:
Let's start! :laugh:
The first step to me is prepare the enviroment to build the rom. I've installed Ubuntu 13.10 64bit inside a Virtual Machine and I've installed Java and other tools/packages for building on it.
After basic installations I set up the repo command.
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
Add at the end line: export PATH=~/bin:$PATH save and restart the bash
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
The second step is the Building.
Create the folder.
Code:
mkdir ~/cm12
Move in to the folder
Code:
cd ~/cm12
Initialize the CyanogenMod source repository
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.0
Sync the repo
Code:
repo sync
ERROR!
After repo sync I'll get prebuilt apps but when I send the command:
Code:
./get-prebuilts
I get the following error:
Code:
bash: ./get-prebuilts: File o directory not existing
Can anyone help me? @GabMus @updateing @WhiteNeo @Chefov01
You are not in the right directory.. "get-prebuilts" is an executable file that isn't present in the cm12 root directory.
Type this in Terminal before "./get-prebuilts":
Code:
cd ~/cm12/vendor/cm
However, afaik those prebuilt apps are no longer needed to build cm12. They have been removed from the build process some days ago.

Thank for reply, but I know that you say :highfive: . I had already tried the command ./get-prebuilts in the folder /cm12/vendor/cm but I forgot to say in the post. Now I'll try to ignore the prebuilds and download the muppets repo, extract the zip, rename in sony and copy the folder in /cm12/vendor. After that I will go in the root folder
Code:
croot
and try the brunch command
Code:
brunch mint
Is that correct?

Well.. No.
For CM11 it would work, but CM12 needs different device files than the ones downloaded by "breakfast mint" or "brunch mint"..
I'm not quite sure it compiling Lollipop is a good start for learning android development if you've never built a rom before.

Maybe you can check if some entries are missing in local_manifest (e.g. the sony common repo it listed there) mine is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57492538&postcount=52
And it's not a nice idea to learn building Android on T & CM12. It's not easy as CM11, lots of patches have to be applied to make it work...
Have looked through many of these in my time, but never came across one that works perfectly from start to finish without problems or errors. So I decided to make my own guide Hope it will help somebody out!
Will be making a Youtube tutorial on this soon as well that runs through the whole guide, and I'll post the video here when it's done.
Here it is: https://goo.gl/uU0fCy
Also, you can see the youtube tutorial video that accompanies the guide here:

cant you just delete it with right click on it and then move to paperbin?
if not you have to change the permissions. i dont know. google it how to change permissions or ownership of this folder
i found something.
open terminal and try this if you cant delete it:
Code:
sudo chown -R martin:martin bin
I have open now a root terminal and working now. but now i get this:
[email protected]:~/android/system# repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-14.0
Das Programm »repo« ist in folgenden Paketen enthalten:
* phablet-tools
* repo
Versuchen Sie: apt install <ausgewähltes Paket>
Edit: download now
Edit2:
error.GitError: manifests var:
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got '[email protected](none)')

Sorry to hear mate. I've found a few mistakes that I'm correcting now.
The commands:
Code:
sudo mkdir -p ~/bin
and
Code:
sudo mkdir -p ~/android/system
SHOULD BE:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
and
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/system
and the command:
Code:
git config -global user.name "YOUR USERNAME"
git config -global user.email [email protected]
was written correctly on my end, but Wordpress appears to have changed it automatically to one dash and won't let me change it.
The correct command is indeed:
Code:
git config --global user.name "YOUR USERNAME"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
Apologies for not noticing this!
Also there is no repo installed default. This is also not in the guide. Without repo installed not work too.
apt install repo

It is installed.
Repo is downloaded to ~/bin/repo, with the curl command. Then given executable permissions with the chmod command.
Because ~/bin is in the path of execution, it can then be called system-wide.
Hence, it is installed.
See the post above from me. You can see repo is not installed.
