[HOWTO] Build CM10.1 for N7000, Nexus 4 and 7, Note II and Note II LTE

First of all, why would you want to do it when there are Nightlies to be dowloaded and flashed?
Let me quote Rec Dev fattire here:
fattire said:
Off the top of my head...
You never, ever have to wait for a nightly
You can add or remove as-yet uncommitted features with ease.
You learn how Android works under the hood
You learn how to use Linux
You'll learn how to use git
You may, even accidentally, pick up a little C, Java, C++, and learn about the build system.
You can personalize Android-- make your own tweaks, modules, graphics, add or remove projects etc. In other words, you have control over every aspect of your device's functionality. Your build is custom to you.
You can audit the code for potential security issues such as back doors or trojans (as opposed to just trusting a random person who posts a build). Since CM10 source is open, you can examine every commit, and there are many eyes looking at the code. (does not apply to proprietary blobs, but these are pulled from your device, so you have and are using them already)
You can contribute features/fixes back upstream
You can start ports to other as-yet-unsupported devices (start by copying folders from similar devices to devices/manufacturer/model)
You come to really understand that Android phones and tablets are full-fledged general-purpose computers just like laptops and desktops.
AAAAND....you get huge bragging rights
The extent to which you delve into the above is entirely up to you. The walkthrough is just an introduction to that world. Some people will build once and never do it again... but others will start to tinker and make changes to their own build and want to share them with others, and soon some will start making contributions back to official CM10 upstream... or port to new devices... and by fixing bugs and all this... everyone benefits.
Plus...
It's fun.

Hardware Requirements
You'll need a computer configuration that is not too shabby to pull this off; also you'll need a decent Interweb connection to download all that is needed.
Here are some hardware examples:
Utacka
Ahalford
Anti
Me
In other words, you need to have a box capable of doing some crunching. The better the PC, the faster the compile and vice-versa.
As for the Internet connection, you have to pull about 13 Gb of tiny files in the first CM10.1 sync, and additional 2-3 Gbs in your second sync.
Trying to do it on a 512Kb/s connection is an exercise in futility.

Setting up the Build Environment
First things first: you need to download and install 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.04. A 32-bit one won't cut it.
Installed it? Good, let's move on.
Now do a system update; click that little switch icon in the top right hand corner and you'll get a menu. Launch Update Manager and install everything it finds.
Now that your Ubuntu is up to speed you need to download and install some more stuff. Launch the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T).
Copy the below code and paste it (right-click and paste or Shift + Insert, Ctrl + V doesn't work) in the terminal, hit enter.
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 pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev libxml2-utils
If 'lib32ncurses5-dev' fails, delete it from the list, install everything else.
Now you need to add the following repos, again copy/paste each line into the terminal, hit enter. Repeat for each line of the code below.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Now you are going to install Synaptic.
Code:
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Done? Good.
Click the 'Dash Home' button (top left hand corner of your desktop), find and launch Synaptic Package Manager. Search for 'Sun Java6 JDK' and install it will all the dependencies except sun-java6-demo and sun-java6-doc.
Now go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the linux version of the Android SDK. It provides the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build. When your download is done, open it with Archive Manager, extract it somewhere, and move the extracted folder to your Home folder. Rename it to 'SDK' for simplicity.
Now you need to download and install Android SDK Platform Tools. Use file manager to navigate to your SDK sub-folder Tools. Find 'android' and double-click to run it. You'll be asked what you want to download. Choose the 'Platform Tools' and the Android 4.1.2 SDK Level 16 and the Android 4.2 SDK level 17 Dev tools and hit install. Let it download; it might take some time, depending on your download speed.
Now the time is ripe for you to setup your Android repos. Copy/paste the following commands into the terminal, hit enter after each one.
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
Code:
mkdir -p ~/cm10.1
Code:
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
You have to reboot after this for changes to take effect.

Initial Repo, local_manifest
Once reboobed, open the terminal once again and do this:
Code:
cd cm10.1
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
repo sync
Your initial sync will take some time. After it is is done, go to your cm10.1/.repo folder (/.repo is hidden, so press Ctrl + H in your file manager for it to show up). Create a
subfolder called local_manifests in /.repo. Then create a blank document called roomservice.xml in /.repo/local_manifests. Copypasta™ the below code into roomservice.xml,
save it, close the document.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung" path="vendor/samsung" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_SamsungServiceMode" path="packages/apps/SamsungServiceMode" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_n7000" path="device/samsung/n7000" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung" path="hardware/samsung" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />

NOTE: All in the above posts needs to be done only once, prior to compiling your first build.
For all your subsequent builds you'll have to do just the steps listed in the next posts.

Start the Build
It's time for you to do another repo sync to pull Samsung device-specific stuff.
Code:
repo sync
This sync is going to be considerably shorter than the first one. After it is done, it's time for you to start the build.
Code:
~/cm10.1/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh
export USE_CCACHE=1
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
brunch n7000
If everything goes right, you should see this at the end of the compile:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Your cm10.1 rom zip will be in cm10.1/out/target/product/n7000 folder.
This is how it looks when the build gets going:

Subsequent Builds
You'll want to do another build tomorrow once your first one has gone through fine.
There are two ways you can go about it.
#1: do a
Code:
cd cm10.1
repo sync
export USE_CCACHE=1
~/cm10.1/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch n7000
The build system should notice which source files have changed and need rebuilding, and should only build the new stuff. This is what you might want to do when there were no major changes in the merged commits here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged,n,z
However, what I always do and would always recommend
#2:
Code:
cd cm10.1
make clean
repo sync
~/cm10.1/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch n7000
'make clean' command will delete your whole /out folder, and your new build will start from scratch. Instead of 'make clean' you can also use 'make clobber'; the difference between the commands is explained here.
There is a way to completely automate your compiling process à la CyanogenMod's Jenkins. You can learn how from AndroidSlave here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46110939

Cherry Picking
***Cherry picking from CM Gerrit***
This is one of the perks of compiling CM10.1 yourself. Official nightlies have a lot of features, but there's also a lot of stuff waiting for a review on Gerrit.
You can follow the commits waiting to be reviewed and merged into the main repo here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:reviewed,n,z
You can cherry-pick anything from the upcoming features and incorporate it into your Rom before the official CM10.1 does the same.
Let's say that you want to have this commit before it becomes merged: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/30878
The commit says:
Code:
Project CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_LockClock
It's quite simple to do that. Fire up the Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and navigate to your LockClock folder.
Code:
cd cm10.1/packages/apps/LockClock
In other words you must be in the same folder as stated in 'Project' for cherry-picking to work.
Now minimize the terminal (don't close it) and switch to the Gerrit page in your browser.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/30878/
Click on cherry-pick button here.
Then click several times on the little clipboard icon at the end of the cherry-pick URL.
This automagically copies the cherry-pick URL into your clipboard. Now, go back to your terminal, paste the cherry-pick URL in it and hit enter.
That is all: the commit will get pulled and incorporated into your local repo. You are ready to compile a build which will contain the feature you have just cherry-picked.

How to compile CM10.1 for Nexus 4
If you have never built CM10.1 then you need to do everything from post #3 here, and this part
Code:
cd cm10.1
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
repo sync
from post #4.
After the initial repo sync is done, now comes the Nexus 4 specific bit. As stated before, go to your cm10.1/.repo folder and create a blank document called local_manifest.xml. Paste the below code into local_manifest.xml, save it, close the document.
If you already have local_manifest.xml with n7000 stuff in it, then just add all the lines beginning with <project name= from below to it, save and exit Gedit.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_mako" path="device/lge/mako" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-mako" path="kernel/lge/mako" remote="github" revision="jellybean" />
</manifest>

Now do the second repo sync to pull Nexus 4 specific stuff.
Code:
repo sync
Do the following after the second sync has gone through.
Code:
~/cm10.1/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Now it's time to start the build.
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
export USE_CCACHE=1
brunch mako
That's it. Wait for the build to get compiled and flash your CM10.1_UNOFFICIAL_mako.zip from cm10.1/out/target/product/mako folder.

How to compile CM10.1 for Note II LTE (t0lte)
If you have never built CM10.1 then you need to do everything from post #3 here, and this part

Discarding Failed or Unwanted Cherry Picks
If you want to get rid of something you have cherry-picked this is what needs to be done.
We'll stick to the cherry-picking example described in the previous post.
Start the Terminal and navigate to the folder containing your unwanted cherry-pick, in this case LockClock.
Code:
cd cm10.1/packages/apps/LockClock
From here you need to persuade Git to discard the cherry-picked thing. Do this:
Code:
git reset --hard
And that is that.
However, sometimes git has its quirks and doesn't want to do what it's been told. If that is the case, you'll get warnings when doing your next repo sync.
If that happens, repeat the two steps from above and delete the top folder where your cherry-pick was located. In this case, it is /packages.
Do the repo sync again and the folder will be redownloaded and stored on your machine in pristine state.

How to compile CM10.1 for Nexus 7
If you have never built CM10.1 then you need to do everything from post #3 here, and this part
Code:
cd cm10.1
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
repo sync
from post #4.
After the initial repo sync is done, now comes the Nexus 7 specific bit. Do this:
Code:
~/cm10.1/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast grouper
This will download the device specific configuration and kernel source for your device.
Now it's time to extract proprietary blobs from your tablet.
Go to your grouper CM10.1 folder.
Code:
cd cm10.1/device/asus/grouper
Connect your Nexus 7 to the computer using USB cable. Make sure that adb debugging is on in Developer's Options. Now paste this into the terminal:
Code:
./extract-files.sh
If you get adb errors, that means that adb is not in the path of execution. Close the terminal, start your file manager and when in your /home folder press Ctrl + H for hidden stuff to appear. Open .bashrc file with Gedit and add the following line at the end of the code:
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/<your path to sdk>/platform-tools
(My <path to sdk> looks like this: export PATH=${PATH}:/home/chasmodo/android-sdk/sdk/platform-tools)
Save the file, open a new terminal window, go to cd cm10.1/device/asus/grouper and repeat
Code:
./extract-files.sh
The adb command should now be available and your blobs pulled. After this has been done go back to cm10.1 folder and start the build.
Code:
cd ~/cm10.1 (or croot, same thing)
export USE_CCACHE=1
brunch grouper
After the compile goes through, your CM10.1_UNOFFICIAL_grouper.zip will be waiting for you in cm10.1/out/target/product/grouper folder.

Re: [HOWTO] Build CM10.1 for N7000
I build on the first gen i7 @ 2.0ghz, 8gigs of ram, 120gig SSD, clean compile is about 30-35 min.
My next machine will be a i7 @ 3.4, 16gigs of ram and 250gig SSD
I suggest a minimum of an i3 with 8gigs of ram, otherwise you'll be compiling for hours.
Then reason I suggest that as a minimum is because if for instance you cherry pick something, that breaks the build, you'll need to revert that pick and re build. It could be a very time consuming process.

This is great~!
i'm going to have to try this out haha... ubuntu in a VM environment on an i7 + 256gb ssd
hope you're up for questions guys haha :silly:

Tuesday a working release rom image.
For archos gen9 project path for device gen9 i'll update it soon.
This week a working rom. I think.
I've been working today to give us all a working rom.
Instructions for testing:
copy system.img for /data/local
or
copy system.img for /mnt/storage using adb push system.img /mnt/storage

PS: New version attempting as archos.ext4.update
It's will be released a ext4 attempt friday or saturday.
I'm trying to boot with the new kernel archos.

Welcome to XDA.
Both of your topics seem to be in wrong section, as they should be in general.
Having Firefox Os in ext4 is possible in theory, but no one has ported it to archos G9 series.

thanks a lot.

Hi there!
I have a question.

Hi Guys,
It's possible to have multiboot with archos tablet (i am sure with Gen8, i have made it ^^).
Firefox OS can be compiled easily with the device folder from Gen 9 CM9/10.
I start it like CM7 = SDE => Kernel=> Initramfs => OS choice's
With my folder (Gen8 - CM9 CyanoBiz) i have compile it yesterday and my first release works today (3D, Wifi, TS and sound works)
I have just modified an include path in an android.mk in /external folder (don't remember exactly the name).
No modification in the kernel (except all made to run ICS)
On my tab (A70S2 Froyo Gen8) it works well, i haven't try the video playing or other, because i haven't navigation button
On Omap44xx you have already a base with pandaboard based on the same CPU.
I don't know how is started yours alternatives OS, but i can give informations about the compilation of Firefox OS for Archos.
I have passed 1 day to port it (just start the system, not fix all bugs )
Bizcuite

Thanks for telling me.
The kernel ICS from archos gen9 making the defconfig can be possible to run an hdd turbo version. If i'm wrong.
The ext4 if possible we can make a dd with the following system as:
dd if=/dev/zero of=firefox.ext4 bs=1024
I'm just saying that.
Supposing.

For the kernel, just compile and use the kernel on archos gitorious, you have a 3.0 kernel for archos 80 hdd version.
If you want to compile it:
-Download all sources from B2G git
-Just try to copy/paste the device folder from archos CM9 (see the post of Quinny if he has a git)
-you will have an error (header missing) i have the fix, but i don't remember the path.
-compile by those commands:
. build/environment
lunch (choose the device)
choosecombo (i choose userdebug)
make -jx (x = number of threads)
Bizcuite

Thanks a lot.
I'll try it now.
I'll tell it more later.

Another thing:
I have added this lines in init.rc to have a boot of system (i know that is a Viking method, but it works lol) :
Code:
service fakesched /system/bin/fakesched
class main
user root
service b2g /system/bin/b2g.sh
class main
onrestart restart media
service rilproxy /system/bin/rilproxy
class main
socket rilproxy stream 660 root system
user root
group radio
on boot
exec /system/bin/rm -r /data/local/tmp
exec /system/bin/mkdir -p /data/local/tmp
# set RLIMIT_NOFILE to increase soft limit from 1024(default) to 2048.
# Hard limit keeps default value(4096).
setrlimit 7 2048 4096
It's not very different of an Android compilation.
I will made a how to, to port a device to Firefox OS.
PS: I don't know which hardware is used to run wifi (WL127x?) if yes maybe you have to copy and paste the wpa_6_supplicant from CM9 sources to have a working wifi
This is my script to copy and paste all tools/app (Viking Method again ):
Code:
echo A70S:
qemu-img create -f raw ./CYANOBIZ_BETA2.x_A70.img 300M
mkfs.ext4 -qF -O ^huge_file ./CYANOBIZ_BETA2.x_A70.img

If you have an error with buffer.h in external/negatus/src folders, just add this lines in the android.mk:
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES:= \
$(shell nspr-config --includedir) \
external/stlport/stlport \
gaia/xulrunner-sdk/include \
gaia/xulrunner-sdk/include/nspr \

I'm fixing the same issue you told on xulrunner.
Tomorrow Ii'll tell you if it is working my build and we can discuss it.

It's still compiling since yesterday since i told the latest post.
I'm using a pentium d 2.8GHZ with 2GB RAM.
It's finishing the compilation.
More i will tell this afternoon. GMT.

Tomorrow I'll release a proofing video also my build.
You said it's happening to me.
I'll try and test it better.
Tomorrow i'll release my build for archos gen9 also the instructions in this topic.
I've need to make Viking method.

Have you any problem with wifi?
Because i cannot choose one and loop on "connectivity/data search" screen...
I have "fix" it by a modification in the wpa_supplicant.conf. I have include directly my own wifi parameters directly into it.

Me too.
I've made a script to get work the image now it's not booting. Oh My God!

I have tried and it works well. Volume up can permit me to return back home screen.
After many test whats work (on gen8)
Sound
Wifi
Bt (turn on but not tested fully)
Adb
Doesn't worked
Video (only test by internet browser)
Int/ext Sdcard cannot be seen (it lakes an equivalent of root explorer)
Auto rotation
Internet navigation bugs when you zoom
Is it the same thing on gen9?
Can you share me your script to fix the pb with wifi please?
Thanks in advanced.

Welcome
This is a guide for all those who want to build for their Sprint HTC ONE but do not neccesasarily have the knowledge or experience.
This is an unofficial guide for the building of custom ROMs and other mods for the Sprint HTC ONE (M7SPR or M7WLS). This is a work in progress, with additions being made as often as possible. This thread has already grown with the help of the devs established in this forum. I began this project a year ago when I was using a Samsung GS II Skyrocket. I started another alike thread called PR II in the LGOG forum a while back as well. I have since moved on to a ONE, but both threads remain to this day. The point is this: everyone who uses this site has a desire for modding, customizing, and/or otherwise altering their device. Unfortunately, many have no idea how to go about doing these things for themselves. As such, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among developers about receiving constant demands, suggestions, and requests for updates. This thread is meant to give those who want to step up and build for themselves the means to do so. It is an ever-changing thread, with all assistance welcomed.
READ ME:
On one hand, it should go without saying that if you have no knowledge and/or experience with building, java, C++, and various other tools, you probably shouldn't begin here. At the same time, it is possible to learn to build, provided you can read, follow directions, and aren't too lazy to RESEARCH.
OH YEAH, and you better have patience. This isn't easy. It will be work. The quickest way to get flamed is to show yourself to be lazy. If you think that with a couple clicks, you can have your own flashy ROM, forget it. But, if you do want to learn, this is a good place to get started. I have no ego about this; I started the same way and just want to help everyone learn to build their own ROM. But, everyone will struggle to get to a successful point, and lazy, unmotivated people just irritate those who have had to learn from scratch too. Tutorials will be posted for any new thing learned and built as time and space allow. ALL ARE WELCOME AND ALL QUESTIONS ARE TOO. But, seriously, if it's a really ridiculous one, I/we reserve the right to screw with you about it.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Thread Disclaimer:
The instructions and extras posted here are to be used at your own risk. I am working hard to provide good, workable tutorials that will make successful building much easier. Nevertheless, I am not responsible if you lose your files, brick your device, or inadvertently cause a nuclear war. If you are seeking absolute perfection, RUN NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!
Building instructions are in post #1 - Build fixes and tips are in post #2 - All relevant tutorials are in post #3 - Kernel building, CCACHE, and other steps and tips are in post #4
GETTING STARTED
Setting up your environment :
This is a combination of the steps offered in the threads 'Compile JB on Ubuntu' and TeamChopsticks CyanogenMod.
Special thanks to dastin1015 and TeamChopsticks.
Tip: Allocate at least 75 gigs of space for the building of ONE ROM. If you install ccache, you will want 90. A complete build directory can use as much as 100 gigs, so make sure you have plenty of room. One of the ways to fail out a build is too use all of your partition before acquiring all the necessary files.
Here are the steps from those 2 tutorials in correct order:
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean or KitKat.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
[/COLOR]
and:
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install python
[/COLOR]
and:
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core[/COLOR]
-Android SDK:
Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.
I renamed my SDK to android-sdk to make it easier to navigate to – this tutorial assumes you've done that as well.
Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up your .bashrc file.
Add these lines at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin[/COLOR]
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.[/COLOR]
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ android[/COLOR]
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils lzop schedtool[/COLOR]
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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 xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so[/COLOR]
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules[/COLOR]
Inside of this blank text file insert:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]#Acer

4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules[/COLOR]
5) Install the repo:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
Create your work directory:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir ~/"your directory name here" For example: mkdir ~/cm10
cd ~/cm10[/COLOR]
Setup local manifest:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]mkdir .repo/local_manifests
touch .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
nano .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml[/COLOR]
A local manifest is your chance to remove/add packages to the repo before you sync.
This is what you need for your build environment. From here, the various types of ROM styles can be built with a few additions and commands.
Unofficial
To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Please see the CyanogenMod Wiki for building instructions.
For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, please read the wiki article.
Create and edit roomservice.xml in .repo:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gedit /.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml[/COLOR]
Add this to the roomservice.xml:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7spr" path="device/htc/m7spr" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_m7" path="kernel/htc/m7" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
then
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh (notice the period and space)

From terminal
1. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
2. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named beanstalk.
3. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the beanstalk directory created from previous step
4. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/scotthartbti/android.git -b kk44[/COLOR]
.
This will setup the folders to be synced.
5. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
.
This will sync the folders to your beanstalk directory. Note - This will take some time depending on internet connection. Be patient!
6. Within your .repo folder(control+H in your root build files), create a 'local manifests' folder. Within that folder, create a 'local_manifest.xml' doc.
7. Open that new, blank XML doc with Text Editor and paste in your local_manifest code:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7spr" path="device/htc/m7spr" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_m7" path="kernel/htc/m7" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
8. Save and exit
9. Outside of terminal, navigate to beanstalk/vendor/cm. Double click on the get-prebuilts file and select run in terminal. This will fetch necessary files needed to build and place them where they need to be.
10. Type
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]. build/envsetup.sh && brunch m7spr[/COLOR]
11. Previous step will start building beanstalk for your device. The process takes anywhere from 1 - 3 hours depending on your computer.
12. Once completed, it will say package complete and you will have a beanstalk named zip file in your out folder.

To get started with Android/PACman Rom, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
First Make your Pac directory and initilize the repo with the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]mkdir pacrom && cd pacrom[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/pacman.git -b pac-4.4[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Wait, but once you're done waiting feel free to move on...
Once properly synced the next step is to sync device files and to compile; which with PAC is all one step.
Simply,
Code:
[COLOR="black"]./build-pac -j# m7spr[/COLOR]
Where # is the number of cores you have.
This command will thriger the pac build scrpt that will then download the needed device trees and begin compiling.

Getting Started
To get started with the Carbon-Dev sources, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir -p ~/bin[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir -p ~/carbon[/COLOR]
Install the Repository
Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]chmod a+x ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect. Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd ~/carbon[/COLOR]
Repositories:
Before you continue --> run this in the terminal
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u https://github.com/CarbonDev/android.git -b kk && repo sync -f[/COLOR]
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST USE THE -f flag when repo syncing/initializing if you want to sync with our default -j4 setup as android.googlesource seems to like to reject your requests if you set your -jflag too high. if you wish to avoid this issue run it repo sync -j1 otherwise -f (force) is reccomended so it will resync the repos it gets error codes on. Thank you and have a nice day.
Building the System
Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. Note that replacing "source" with a single dot saves a few characters, and the short form is more commonly used in documentation.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]lunch[/COLOR]
Enter the number of the build you want to start and press enter
Build the Code:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make carbon -j7 = Run Squisher/Run Opticharger[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]make otapackage -j7 = No Squisher/No Opticharger[/COLOR]

Getting Started
From terminal
1. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
2. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir cfx[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named beanstalk.
3. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd cfx[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the cfx directory created from previous step.
4. Then: - From the CFX git, found here: https://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest
To get started with codefireX(periment), you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.

Click to collapse
Init core trees without any device/kernel/vendor :
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel[/COLOR]
Init repo with all devices, kernels and vendors supported by codefireXperiment :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,kernel,device,vendor[/COLOR]
Init repo only for a particular device :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,<devicename>,<vendorname>[/COLOR]
for example, to init only trees needed to build mako :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,mako,lge[/COLOR]
Init repo for multiple devices :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,<devicename1>,<devicename2>,<devicename3>,<vendorname1>,<vendorname2>,<vendorname3>[/COLOR]
for example, to init trees needed to build mako and grouper :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,mako,grouper,lge,asus[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
This will sync the folders to your cfx directory. Note - This will take some time depending on internet connection. Be patient!
5. Within your .repo folder(control+H in your root build files), create a 'local manifests' folder. Within that folder, create a 'local_manifest.xml' doc.
6. Open that new, blank XML doc with Text Editor and paste in your local_manifest code:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />

Getting Started
From terminal
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir mokee[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named mokee.
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd mokee[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the mokee directory created from previous step.
Then, to sync up the sources:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]repo init -u git://github.com/MoKee/android.git -b kk_mkt[/COLOR]
and:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
After source finishes, type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]vendor/mk/get-prebuilts[/COLOR]
- this is a quick download here.
Now it's time for your device tree; if the device is not supported yet by mokee then you'll need to do something like this to make your repo pull in your device trees.
Create an xml file, it can be named "anything.xml" so long as it is a ".xml".
Code:
[COLOR="black"]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github" fetch="git://github.com" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
This .xml needs to placed in your .repo folder ina folder of its own called <local_manifests>.
NOTICE the remote name to fetch "github"? That's the special fetch we need for mokee - DON'T forget the rest of your device tree if mokee does not support it. Below is an example of what mokee does support & you'll see that we don't need the github url for our manifest to fetch these trees:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="MoKee/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_vendor_htc_m7-common" path="vendor/htc/m7-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_vendor_htc_m7spr" path="vendor/htc/m7spr" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_kernel_htc_m7" path="kernel/htc/m7" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
After getting everything setup you want to set the output of your rom. Find the "mk" file in the root of your source. You WILL need to open your source folder with "root" perms to change the "mk" file. Go to line 67 & delete the "#" before this writing "OUT_DIR=/mokee/out/target/product/$DEVICE" .
Code:
[COLOR="black"]# if you set another OUT_DIR,set this before use.
#OUT_DIR=/mokee/out/target/product/$DEVICE
if [ "mk$OUT_DIR" == "mk" ][/COLOR]
You want to type in "repo sync" again to grab the device trees, once this finishes you're ready to start compiling.
Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh && breakfast <device name> && ./mk <device name>[/COLOR]
without the quotations, of course you'll want to put your devices name in that you wish to build for.
This is a work in progress. Many more pieces of information will be added and this is meant to be an ever-changing thread. If you see something that is outdated or incorrect, please let me know ASAP, so I can make the correction. Also, make sure that any info offered can be and has been confirmed as functional.

KERNEL BUILDING and other EXTRAS
Building your first kernel
(this is non-device-specific; tweaks will be required to produce an M7SPR kernel) :
This is a set of steps to get you building your first kernel. Special thanks to thewadegeek for putting this tutorial together. His thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748297
Step 1. Build Environment
A. Install Ubuntu 12.04(Not holding your hand here, if you can't do this you shouldn't be messing with kernels)
B. Required packages: git-core, gnupg, flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev, build-essential, zip, curl, libncurses5-dev, zlib1g-dev, ia32-libs, lib32z1-dev, lib32ncurses5-dev, gcc-multilib, g++-multilib, and Adb.
C. Open a terminal
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir android[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android[/COLOR]
G.Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir kernel[/COLOR]
Step 2. Your Source
A. Open your Terminal Prompt
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android/kernel[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git toolchains[/COLOR]
D. Now comes the tricky part, you need to have some-type of source for your kernel. Check the following two sites for your device as appropriate. Once you have it download it is extracted/cloned into a folder in your kernel directory.
http://www.htcdev.com/
http://opensource.samsung.com/
.http://developer.sonymobile.com/wpor...ads/opensource
http://www.lg.com/global/support/ope...opensource.jsp
Step 3. Modifications
This is the part people are curious about, they want to make modifications to the kernel to make it "special". Start all these from the root directory of your kernel source.
Mod 1. Applying a patch
A. Download the patch you wish to apply, in this case this one should work.
B. Save that file as "kernelPatch" in your kernel directory.
C. Open a Terminal
D. Move into the root directory of the kernel you wish to patch.
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]patch -p1 < ../kernelPatch[/COLOR]
Mod 2. Adding a Governor Alone
A. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig"
B. Add the following lines in appropriate spot amongst the other govenor's
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS
bool "smartass"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE
help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'smartass' as default.
[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
tristate "'smartass' cpufreq governor"
depends on CPU_FREQ
help
smartass' - a "smart" optimized governor!
If in doubt, say N.[/COLOR]
C. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Makefile"
D. Add the following line in the appropriate spot.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"] obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS) += cpufreq_smartass.o[/COLOR]
E. Create a file called "drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_smartass.c"
F. Put the following code in that file.
http://pastebin.com/f0Bk9kVZ
G. open "include/linux/cpufreq.h"
H. Under the "Cpufreq Default" section add
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]#elif defined(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS)
extern struct cpufreq_governor cpufreq_gov_smartass;
#define CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR (&cpufreq_gov_smartass)[/COLOR]
Ok there is a governor added, do the exact same steps for any other one's you would like to add.
Step 4. Getting a Config file
Option A. Pulling a config file from a kernel.
A. Hook up a device that is using a kernel similar to one you are using as your base.
B. Open a terminal
C. Change to your root kernel directory
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]adb pull /proc/config.gz[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gunzip config.gz[/COLOR]
F. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mv config arch/arm/configs/<your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
Option B. Using the manufacturers config.
Unfortunately as stated above, not all kernels support the "/proc/config.gz" method. You can typically find a manufacturer's configuration file in "arch/arm/configs". I believe the one for my HTC Flyer was called "flyer_hc_defconfig", so look for a layout similar to that one. Also read the README to get a better idea of how to modify it. I would personally make a copy of it called "<your_config_name>_defconfig" and use that as my base.
Step 5. Building
Time to start the real "build" section of this tutorial.
Part A. Pre-build Steps
A. Open terminal and change to the root of your kernel directory
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export ARCH=arm[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/kernel/toolchains/arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2/bin/arm-eabi-[/COLOR]
Part B. The First Build
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make <your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make menuconfig[/COLOR]
and make the required changes to use any modules you added or similar changes.
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part C. Re-Builds
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make clean[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make oldconfig[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part D. Building Modules
You have two options:
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make modules[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make path/to/your/module.ko[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
Part A.(These steps are required every time you close your terminal and re-open it to build again.)
A. Ok shouldn’t need to explain this.
B. This command sets your target architecture.
C. Defines the path to the toolchain we are going to use to compile our kernel. You can change this to point towards whatever toolchain you have downloaded or feel like using, the way it is currently configured it will use the Linaro toolchain that we downloaded above.
Part B.(These only need to be run the first time you build a kernel.)
A. Load's your configuration file from earlier.
B. Open up a menu to configure your kernel. It will use the config file you loaded in the previous step as a base.
C. Viola start the build. I typically allow 1 job per core, so on my quad core machine I put "make -j4". Just raising that number will not make your build faster, your processor needs to be able to support the number of jobs you are assigning it.
Part C. (Use the command's when you are building any-time outside of the first)
A. This command gets rid of any old/outdated binaries or modules you compiled before, and let's start fresh. I like to run it every I build unless my changes are really small and localized.
B. A very awesome command, it parses through what has changed and only prompts you about new options.
C. See the explanation for the above "Part C.".
Part D.(Use these for just building kernel modules.)
A. This will re-build all modules.
B. Will rebuild just the module you need. Very useful when you need to rebuild a WiFi module.
Step 6. Now what
Ok we have now started our build and we are waiting for it to finish, so there are two possible outcomes:
Outcome A. Build Succeeds
W00t!! You have a kernel built by your self from source. There are a couple things you need in-order to use this kernel on your device any ".ko" modules and the zImage binary. If you pay attention to the output of your compiler then you will see the location of those objects. However the following commands will make your life a bit easier(Thanks Recognized Developer Hacre):
A. Open a terminal
B. Change to your root kernel directory
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir ../<your_kernel>_output[/COLOR]
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ../<your_kernel>_output/zImage[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} ../<your_kernel>_output \;[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
A-C. Self-Explanatory
D. Move our kernel binary into our output folder
E. This handy bit of magic finds all ".ko" modules and also copies them into your output file.
You will also need to assemble a kernel image containing a initramfs for your device, along with the kernel binary and such. That however is beyond the scope of this tutorial. To get started though try searching the following phrases.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]building android kernel image
xda build kernel image
xda unpack boot.img[/COLOR]
Outcome B. Build Fails
Oh dear. It failed. Well guess what...this is going to happen..a LOT. Get used to it, and get used to googling and experimenting with different solutions. The following are some tips that will help you with debugging your issues.
Running a "Clean" build
A. Backup your config file - Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp .config ../backupConfig[/COLOR]
B. Re-run the build process using just your defconfig from earlier.
Limiting Output(Thanks Hacre.)
A. Another good tip is to run "make -j1" to get the error, as it will limit the amount of text you need to scroll through.

CCACHE​
Here is a brief tutorial on the installation of Ccache, which can shorten build times drastically :
If you have room on your build system you can speed
your builds up considerably by using ccache. ccache is a compiler
cache. It speeds up re-compilation of C/C++ code by caching
previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is
being done again.
Install it with apt-get:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]sudo apt-get install ccache[/COLOR]
Set environment vars for Android use:
(I put these exports in my .bashrc)
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]export USE_CCACHE=1
export NDK_CCACHE=ccache[/COLOR]
Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -M 10G[/COLOR]
Check the status of your cache with the command:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -s [/COLOR]
To clear your ccache:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]ccache -C[/COLOR]
Returns:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]
cache directory /home/jocala/.ccache
cache hit 106673
cache miss 18379
called for link 3758
preprocessor error 5
not a C/C++ file 4425
unsupported compiler option 678
no input file 4565
files in cache 36758
cache size 3.2 Gbytes
max cache size 10.0 Gbytes[/COLOR]
Using Git and learning to push commits - WIP
- When you "create" a new repo it has to be named correctly and the rest will follow with a tut on how to make your initial commit. Well once you start compiling and changing things, it can get pretty difficult to figure out how to push your commits. I'm not gonna get into setting up github because there are several tutorials for that. Ok let's say you've changed some things and try to run a "repo sync" and you get ERROR: you must stash or commit your changes or they will be lost during checkout. Hmm what do we do here? Well I track down the folder which has the changed commit and open it in terminal. Here I use something like "git checkout kk44" since this is my branch name. Sometimes if I get an error I will use "git branch kk44" I don't know the difference but I always seem to get the job done. I'll break this down later into just the cmds by themselves. Now the commands are not all the same & you need different ones for rebasing your repo but for now we want to commit our device changes. Below I will list some things that eventually work to allow me to push my commits to my git.
Code:
UPDATE existing branch!
Code:
git checkout kk44
"or"
Code:
git branch kk44
Code:
git init
Code:
git update-server-info
Code:
git add <any changes here>
Code:
git commit -m <Your message for the commit>
.. You need to be on the specific branch
Code:
git push origin kk44 <here put in your username & PW for git>
Code:
git rm <filename>
to remove a file if the build did NOT work for you!
Sometimes the above don't always work so we go below. This will be a way to "rebase" your repo & in some cases commit your work. I'm not even close to being an avid git user but I'm trying here!
Thanks to Scotthartbti for pointing some of the below out to me.
Quote:
***COMMIT CHANGES***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Wherever changes are made do the following to save it.
Code:
git add -A
Code:
git commit -s
put a title for it <my change for BS>
then hit CTRL X & Y
git push remote_name branch_name..
The above will get you some place and if it doesn't, try the below. I believe below are commands to "rebase" a repository?
Code:
Code:
git pull origin kk44
Code:
git push origin kk44
If you do the above steps it will usually lead you to what needs to be committed and you can "git add boardconfigcommon.mk <this is for informational purposes only!
"git add ." is supposed to add all files to be committed but I find it doesn't work most times. You can always go to your github to see what you have named your device tree.
I really just play around with most of these cmds until I get my repo to commit. If you get a message stating "nothing to commit, up to date" but you know you have files to commit, keep working with different cmds until you push your work. Hopefully this guide will get more clear as others help out or as I learn more.
Building with Linaro 4.8 toolchain
Go into Terminal and navigate to the root folder of your source tree, then:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]wget http://releases.linaro.org/13.06/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.8/gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.06.tar.bz2[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]bunzip2 *.tar.bz2[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]tar -xvf *.tar[/COLOR]
Using your file manager, navigate to the root folder of your source tree again.
Navigate To "/build", in your root folder.
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gksudo gedit envsetup.sh[/COLOR]
change the line in bold, to look exactly like this one:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]case $ARCH in
x86) toolchaindir=x86/i686-linux-android-4.6/bin
;;
[B]arm) toolchaindir=arm/gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.06/bin[/B] [COLOR="Red"]<--------[/COLOR]
;;
mips) toolchaindir=mips/mipsel-linux-android-4.6/bin
;;
*)
echo "Can't find toolchain for unknown architecture: $ARCH"
toolchaindir=xxxxxxxxx
;;
esac
[/COLOR]
Exit out and open new. Initialize and build. That's it! Makes you wonder why you never did it before, right?
Not so fast. You may have build issues, you may not. I had a few lengthy sets of errors in gsm calltracker and another .java file that was solved by using Meld and making it look exactly like a successful build's file. More as I learn.......

I'll add any and all relevant info on building for this device; at least until I run out of room. But, I need verified successful steps before I post. Don't want anyone complaining about bad information. But, yeah, that's the whole point: to give detailed building instructions for any ROM out there. Stock or custom, as long as it's 4.3 and up. I used to run three or four builds at once and run the how to thread; not finding that kind of time anymore, so I need all the help I can get. The CM and BS builds are the only ones I have tried and/or been successful at compiling and running(had a few Carbon builds, but they never got past boot). I've already spoken with MallardDuck and he's gonna get a PACman tut together tonight. If you want to share, I want to post. The more people we empower to build for themselves, the happier EVERYONE will be.
I guess it is worth mentioning that if it's an unofficial deal, make sure you have permission first. Don't want some rabid dev sticking their foot in my rear because they didn't want to put their work out on the street. For example, the CM is unofficial but open-source(at least it is right now ), whereas my Beanstalk build needs no distinction like that, because the creator makes it for the use of all. One last thing, if you want me to post a tut for a particular ROM, make sure you include those I need to thank as well as the steps. I can be reached for tutorial steps posting by PM or at Hangouts(PM me for my gmail). Make sure your steps are complete, because as I said, I don't have time to verify each and every step before posting....Thanks

Thank you for this, very interesting read.

nice
hey pal, just wanted to publicly thank you for the work you did starting this! It'll be great for the m7spr community!
thanks again for getting me involved in it.

I'm looking for the involvement of everyone who's interested in sharing what they know. Thanks for the support.

This is Great! I had always wanted to compile a rom from source. Good reading THANKS!!

Unofficial PACROM
To get started with Android/PACman Rom, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
First Make your Pac directory and initilize the repo with the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir pacrom && cd pacrom[/COLOR]
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/android.git -b cm-10.2[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Wait, but once you're done waiting feel free to move on...
Once properly synced the next step is to sync device files and to compile; which with PAC is all one step.
Simply,
Code:
[COLOR="black"]./build-pac -j# m7spr[/COLOR]
Where # is the number of cores you have.
This command will thriger the pac build scrpt that will then download the needed device trees and begin compiling.
:cyclops:
UPDATE: Now in OP.
:good::good:

OP updated. Thanks man!
OP also updated with AOKP build instructions. Be aware this is unverified, if you build successfully, share your success or tell me it's broken so I can fix it.

I am normally the type to tell you the newest anything is the way to go, but depending on the type of system you are using, I have heard of some display issues that newer Linux distros have brought about. They seem to be nothing more than some settings discrepencies that can be worked out, but for a rookie builder, you really want as few issues as possible, especially with your environment. I would stick with 12 for now. Ubuntu is highly regarded, and so is Mint. I use Luninux 12, and its worked great for me for over a year. I like it because it has a UI that is virtually an OSX clone. I have experience with Apple systems, so it was easier to use than trying to learn the ins and outs of a different OS. There are quite a few other choices as well. But, most professional devs will recommend you use one of the choices above.

Welcome
This is a guide for all those who want to build for their Sprint HTC ONE but do not neccesasarily have the knowledge or experience.
This is an unofficial guide for the building of custom ROMs and other mods for the Sprint HTC ONE (M7SPR or M7WLS). This is a work in progress, with additions being made as often as possible. This thread has already grown with the help of the devs established in this forum. I began this project a year ago when I was using a Samsung GS II Skyrocket. I started another alike thread called PR II in the LGOG forum a while back as well. I have since moved on to a ONE, but both threads remain to this day. The point is this: everyone who uses this site has a desire for modding, customizing, and/or otherwise altering their device. Unfortunately, many have no idea how to go about doing these things for themselves. As such, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among developers about receiving constant demands, suggestions, and requests for updates. This thread is meant to give those who want to step up and build for themselves the means to do so. It is an ever-changing thread, with all assistance welcomed.
READ ME:
On one hand, it should go without saying that if you have no knowledge and/or experience with building, java, C++, and various other tools, you probably shouldn't begin here. At the same time, it is possible to learn to build, provided you can read, follow directions, and aren't too lazy to RESEARCH.
OH YEAH, and you better have patience. This isn't easy. It will be work. The quickest way to get flamed is to show yourself to be lazy. If you think that with a couple clicks, you can have your own flashy ROM, forget it. But, if you do want to learn, this is a good place to get started. I have no ego about this; I started the same way and just want to help everyone learn to build their own ROM. But, everyone will struggle to get to a successful point, and lazy, unmotivated people just irritate those who have had to learn from scratch too. Tutorials will be posted for any new thing learned and built as time and space allow. ALL ARE WELCOME AND ALL QUESTIONS ARE TOO. But, seriously, if it's a really ridiculous one, I/we reserve the right to screw with you about it.
ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Thread Disclaimer:
The instructions and extras posted here are to be used at your own risk. I am working hard to provide good, workable tutorials that will make successful building much easier. Nevertheless, I am not responsible if you lose your files, brick your device, or inadvertently cause a nuclear war. If you are seeking absolute perfection, RUN NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!
Building instructions are in post #1 - Build fixes and tips are in post #2 - All relevant tutorials are in post #3 - Kernel building, CCACHE, and other steps and tips are in post #4
GETTING STARTED
Setting up your environment :
This is a combination of the steps offered in the threads 'Compile JB on Ubuntu' and TeamChopsticks CyanogenMod.
Special thanks to dastin1015 and TeamChopsticks.
Tip: Allocate at least 75 gigs of space for the building of ONE ROM. If you install ccache, you will want 90. A complete build directory can use as much as 100 gigs, so make sure you have plenty of room. One of the ways to fail out a build is too use all of your partition before acquiring all the necessary files.
Here are the steps from those 2 tutorials in correct order:
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean or KitKat.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
[/COLOR]
and:
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install python
[/COLOR]
and:
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core[/COLOR]
-Android SDK:
Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.
I renamed my SDK to android-sdk to make it easier to navigate to – this tutorial assumes you've done that as well.
Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up your .bashrc file.
Add these lines at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin[/COLOR]
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.[/COLOR]
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ android[/COLOR]
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils lzop schedtool[/COLOR]
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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

Setup local manifest:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]mkdir .repo/local_manifests
touch .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
nano .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml[/COLOR]
A local manifest is your chance to remove/add packages to the repo before you sync.
This is what you need for your build environment. From here, the various types of ROM styles can be built with a few additions and commands.
Unofficial
To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Please see the CyanogenMod Wiki for building instructions.
For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, please read the wiki article.
Create and edit roomservice.xml in .repo:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gedit /.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml[/COLOR]
Add this to the roomservice.xml:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7spr" path="device/htc/m7spr" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />

From terminal
1. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
2. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named beanstalk.
3. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the beanstalk directory created from previous step
4. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/scotthartbti/android.git -b kk44[/COLOR]
.
This will setup the folders to be synced.
5. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
.
This will sync the folders to your beanstalk directory. Note - This will take some time depending on internet connection. Be patient!
6. Within your .repo folder(control+H in your root build files), create a 'local manifests' folder. Within that folder, create a 'local_manifest.xml' doc.
7. Open that new, blank XML doc with Text Editor and paste in your local_manifest code:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_m7spr" path="device/htc/m7spr" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_m7" path="kernel/htc/m7" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
8. Save and exit
9. Outside of terminal, navigate to beanstalk/vendor/cm. Double click on the get-prebuilts file and select run in terminal. This will fetch necessary files needed to build and place them where they need to be.
10. Type
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]. build/envsetup.sh && brunch m7spr[/COLOR]
11. Previous step will start building beanstalk for your device. The process takes anywhere from 1 - 3 hours depending on your computer.
12. Once completed, it will say package complete and you will have a beanstalk named zip file in your out folder.

To get started with Android/PACman Rom, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
First Make your Pac directory and initilize the repo with the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]mkdir pacrom && cd pacrom[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/pacman.git -b pac-4.4[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Wait, but once you're done waiting feel free to move on...
Once properly synced the next step is to sync device files and to compile; which with PAC is all one step.
Simply,
Code:
[COLOR="black"]./build-pac -j# m7spr[/COLOR]
Where # is the number of cores you have.
This command will thriger the pac build scrpt that will then download the needed device trees and begin compiling.

Getting Started
To get started with the Carbon-Dev sources, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir -p ~/bin[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir -p ~/carbon[/COLOR]
Install the Repository
Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]chmod a+x ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect. Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd ~/carbon[/COLOR]
Repositories:
Before you continue --> run this in the terminal
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u https://github.com/CarbonDev/android.git -b kk && repo sync -f[/COLOR]
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST USE THE -f flag when repo syncing/initializing if you want to sync with our default -j4 setup as android.googlesource seems to like to reject your requests if you set your -jflag too high. if you wish to avoid this issue run it repo sync -j1 otherwise -f (force) is reccomended so it will resync the repos it gets error codes on. Thank you and have a nice day.
Building the System
Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script. Note that replacing "source" with a single dot saves a few characters, and the short form is more commonly used in documentation.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]lunch[/COLOR]
Enter the number of the build you want to start and press enter
Build the Code:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make carbon -j7 = Run Squisher/Run Opticharger[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]make otapackage -j7 = No Squisher/No Opticharger[/COLOR]

Init core trees without any device/kernel/vendor :
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel[/COLOR]
Init repo with all devices, kernels and vendors supported by codefireXperiment :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,kernel,device,vendor[/COLOR]
Init repo only for a particular device :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,<devicename>,<vendorname>[/COLOR]
for example, to init only trees needed to build mako :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,mako,lge[/COLOR]
Init repo for multiple devices :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,<devicename1>,<devicename2>,<devicename3>,<vendorname1>,<vendorname2>,<vendorname3>[/COLOR]
for example, to init trees needed to build mako and grouper :
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ repo init -u git://github.com/codefireXperiment/android_manifest.git -b kk-devel -g all,-notdefault,mako,grouper,lge,asus[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:

Getting Started
From terminal
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir mokee[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named mokee.
type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd mokee[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the mokee directory created from previous step.
Then, to sync up the sources:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]repo init -u git://github.com/MoKee/android.git -b kk_mkt[/COLOR]
and:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
After source finishes, type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]vendor/mk/get-prebuilts[/COLOR]
- this is a quick download here.
Now it's time for your device tree; if the device is not supported yet by mokee then you'll need to do something like this to make your repo pull in your device trees.
Create an xml file, it can be named "anything.xml" so long as it is a ".xml".
Code:
[COLOR="black"]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github" fetch="git://github.com" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
This .xml needs to placed in your .repo folder ina folder of its own called <local_manifests>.
NOTICE the remote name to fetch "github"? That's the special fetch we need for mokee - DON'T forget the rest of your device tree if mokee does not support it. Below is an example of what mokee does support & you'll see that we don't need the github url for our manifest to fetch these trees:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="MoKee/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_device_htc_m7-common" path="device/htc/m7-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_vendor_htc_m7-common" path="vendor/htc/m7-common" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_vendor_htc_m7spr" path="vendor/htc/m7spr" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
<project name="MoKee/android_kernel_htc_m7" path="kernel/htc/m7" remote="mokee" revision="kk_mkt" />
</manifest>[/COLOR]
After getting everything setup you want to set the output of your rom. Find the "mk" file in the root of your source. You WILL need to open your source folder with "root" perms to change the "mk" file. Go to line 67 & delete the "#" before this writing "OUT_DIR=/mokee/out/target/product/$DEVICE" .
Code:
[COLOR="black"]# if you set another OUT_DIR,set this before use.
#OUT_DIR=/mokee/out/target/product/$DEVICE
if [ "mk$OUT_DIR" == "mk" ][/COLOR]
You want to type in "repo sync" again to grab the device trees, once this finishes you're ready to start compiling.
Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh && breakfast <device name> && ./mk <device name>[/COLOR]
without the quotations, of course you'll want to put your devices name in that you wish to build for.
This is a work in progress. Many more pieces of information will be added and this is meant to be an ever-changing thread. If you see something that is outdated or incorrect, please let me know ASAP, so I can make the correction. Also, make sure that any info offered can be and has been confirmed as functional.
