hello,
as you probably know ubuntu has bin able to run on the nexus one and evo 4g i have spoken to the dev of both the ''mods'' and he has informed me that if someone can make a kernel for the droid x with loop devices enabled and u follow hes video its possible that ubuntu can run on the droid x.he's exact words are ''You will need a new kernel image with loop devices enabled I think. I haven't tried it on Droid X yet but it should be possible with that new kernel. You should ask someone on XDA to compile a new kernel with loop device support, someone will do it.'' and im hopping someone here can do it and we can all run ubuntu on out droid x's i would do it myself if i had any idea of what to do lol.
thank you for your help and good luck to all ubuntu loving droid x users.
You can't flash a new kernel but you can probably build loop as a module.
As for ubuntu I had sucess in running Debian from my second SD partition in a chroot environment. I installed with debootsrap and have apt nmap wifi, etc. I just need to compile a compatible kernel (for ubuntu not android) for a full install.

As of right now we have no way to boot a custom kernel even if one were to be created.
yea and how long can it take for u to compile one for ubuntu and once you have compiled one for ubuntu will it actually work for booting ubuntu even in ui mode as i can use terminal but it would be more eye-candy with the UI

sounds good man , so will this be like a rom i install and that enables me to install ubuntu?
Gotta love open source!
can u tell me how to get debian on my droid x?
Has any progress been made on creating a loop device module and getting ubuntu( or any distro) running on our droidx?
I'm willing to test.
I have been busy lately an unable to post a mini guide on getting this done. Just had my first child!!
In anycase I haven't tried making a loop module, I am waiting for the 2.2 kernel source. But I did make a second ext3 partition on my sd card and used debootstrap to install debian. It is currently only a chroot environment but I can use apt to install pacakgrs over wifi.
Hopefully in a few days I will have some time to post a step by step. If you want to try you can do some research on debootstrapp. I used a card reader to format the sd and use debootstrap to install ubuntu or debian.

Xperia Play Users,
I am currently working on bringing CM10 to the Play, and I'm looking for input from anybody else who has ideas.
The Rules:
Post something constructive, no "Good Luck" "reserved" etc. this thread is for working through problems when building CM10
That said.
Update: I'll be posting errors here, so it'll be easy to keep track of.
First error I hit (& fixed? (compiler hasn't failed yet on this one)) deals with hardware/qcom/display/libcopybit where copybit_c2d.cpp fails to compile with a couple of errors related to "KGSL_USER_MEM_TYPE_ION" is not declared. (iirc)
I fixed this (I think) by replacing CM10's qcom/display with caf's qcom/display
Second error: (Erroring out right now)
In-line kernel building. I'm getting a (possible) GCC compiler false error where it says
Code:
/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/cm10/kernel/semc/msm7x30/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c: In function 'wl_iw_set_pmksa':
/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/cm10/kernel/semc/msm7x30/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c:5335:5: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/cm10/kernel/semc/msm7x30/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c:5338:5: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/cm10/kernel/semc/msm7x30/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wl_iw.c: At top level:
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unitialised" [-Werror]
Possible fix: for now turn off in-line kernel building until either error is solved.
Error 3 -- Removed in-line kernel building, but forgot to set device/semc/zeusc/prebuilt/kernel to copy to out/target/product/zeusc/kernel ... whoops
Error 4 -- The way things are sent to logcat has been changed from ICS
Code:
/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/cm10/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.6.x-google/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: out/target/product/zeusc/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/lights.semc_intermediates/lights.o: in function write_string:device/semc/msm7x30-common/liblights/lights.c:87: error: undefined reference to 'LOGE'

Fixed by copying over liblights/ from jellybean version of msm7x30-common/
Error 5 -- Same error happens with msm7x30-common/libsensors/
Fixed the same way as error 4
Error 6 -- Last error I'm gonna talk about tonight:
I did (apparently) a half baked revert to using a prebuilt kernel & it just bit me in the butt. I'll fix it tomorrow & keep updating this.
Fixed it by using half of FXP's custombootimg.mk where it calls (PRODUCT_OUT)/kernel instead of (TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL)
Anybody else up for learning with me & briniging JB to the Play?
Pax
UPDATE: Pre-alpha release are available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6ggud46a7c6cq
Latest kernel is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29498363&postcount=233
Remember, this is an alpha, a lot of stuff does not work. Please logcat any errors you find, otherwise (unless it's something like baseband unknown) I WILL IGNORE THEM
What Works:
CDMA Data

Thank you, I think for JB CM wants to use -O2 when compiling so I'm not gonna touch that one (for now)
A Good place to start would be with Keiran's building ICS tutorial with some changes.
First off, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but Ubuntu 12.04 LTS *should* work (no guarantees)
To download the vendor tree (vendor/semc)
use this instead of what Keiran has (koush cleaned out a lot of the vendor trees out of his git, and mine is outdated)
Code:
git clone https://github.com/kali-/proprietary_vendor_semc.git -b ics semc
also, I'm using the ICS device tree (same as keiran) instead of JB because the JB tree's are not 100% functional right now.
Pretty much if you follow that (& I suggest instead of doing make -j# bacon do mka bacon) & run into any errors, i'll help with whatever suggestions I might have (or anybody else)
Note: If somebody needs help trying to build AOKP, I'll help, but I'm not as familiar with the source as I am with CM
Pax
Also, before I forget, here a how-to sync caf's (code aurora forums) repo (similar to cm/AOSP/etc)

The branch I synced was jb.

hi,
it won't boot on sony ericsson hdpi devices without msm.... changes (look at mini pro thread you will find a lot of usefull information about it)
you need to enable triple buffer in the kernel
Thanks Nickholtus, i'll look into it.
Status 6 error in the update-script (really? off the cm-10 building ?!?!) so i'm working on that now...
if you can fix the framebuffer error in the kernel we have a fully booting rom
kamarush made a build for me (from cm10 sources) with play device tree (his own)
only that error is preventing a boot
edit: can you upload your current kernel?
i know a ugly fix to get it at least booting, but i am on holiday now and i only have a windows pc with slow internet and no kernel

While I'm no help for this, for the script stuff, can't you enlist the help of the supercharger guy? He seems to be pretty adept with script lark.
Obviously, that's coming from an outsider.

How does one port ROMs to another phone? I'm looking to try and port Xylon to the Find 5.
Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app
it's really not that difficult. just have to adjust some overlays, change some stuff in vendor and maybe grab the camera from CM if the changes haven't been made to that ROM.
if you are building from source:
Find the 4.2.2 source code of the ROM you want to port
Get the manifest.
Add the CM10.1 device/kernel tree and proprietary libs in the .repo/local_manifest/roomservice.xml
sync all the repos
(do whatever the source might need you to set up: EG paranoid android, need you to setup your device properly in vendor/pa/* files)
compile. Fix any problems(maybe missing files, etc)
you could try a non-4.2.2-based ROM to port, but you'll run into more incompatibility issues to fix

You mean Oppo's source or AOSP from Google? I presume AOSP
Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app
assuming this is the one you want to port (it is using 4.2.2, so hopefully it'll be easier)
read their README: https://github.com/XYAOSP/buildscripts
use repo and checkout this manifest
https://github.com/XYAOSP/platform_manifest/blob/jb4.2/default.xml
use repo and sync all the repos
then see how I get the device specific files here? do the same https://git.ngvincent.com/projects/oppo-x909-cm10/wiki/Build#Get-device-specific-sources-and-build
then follow whatever instructions needed to build. if it uses CM based building (which i think they do here, then do
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch
select the find5 entry (if it;s not there, then do lunch, select find5, mka)
wait for it to fail. read error message. fix error message. repeat last 3 steps .. Google is your friend... learn to love google
---------------------------------------
you should try building CM10.1 first. there will hopefully be no errors, and you learn how to use brunch/lunch/breakfast / etc

use google and your own intuition to help you (this is why you should build the Cm10.1 ROM first.... the knowledge you gain will help you)
most likely either github is down, or the path referencing it is invalid, or something......
but the question is, do we need htc-msm8960? most likely no, since the oppo kernel is self contained
^^^ all this comes from experience.... seriously, go build cm10.1 for the find 5 first

yeah... it's a problem with a simple fix.... if the error was something like "packages_mms_app", then it's a more serious problem.....
does removing that repo mask a larger problem? that's why I'm pushing for OP to start small first by building CM10.1, and learn the environment (instead of posting every single problem he encounters here, and asks for help)
I've only started playing with android source code in March/early april... and these are things that I've learned/picked up since then.

a few tips
typically, compilers only stop when there's an error, not warnings (unless you set flags like -Werror )
compiling is parallelized.... let's say you have a quad core, you can compile 4 projects simultaneously... when you have an error on the first make file, it stops.... but the other 3 projects will continue compiling and outputting logs until they're done (then the scheduler sees the first make file has an error, doesn't execute any more make builds and halts), so the last log file/line might not be showing you the error
For CM10.1, find5 is official now... you can just use brunch instead of breakfast/lunch & mka

In essence, I scour the log for errors?
I just presumed as CM10 already existed on the Oppo Find 5, it would be an error-free compile.

you could source the log for errors
or just run the compile script again and again.... the scheduler will continue building other packages, but it'll come to a point where it can't build anything else without that broken package.... and hence, the error in the log will be obvious(since everything else is already built, no logs from them)
it should be an error-free compile, but sometimes things could happen (a small tweak in package/A gives some problems when compiling with package/B)
I would say, most likely there's some build package incompatibility in your system.
Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has build rom from source.
I followed all steps supplied with source. Some are difficult, and I am not sure how to do it.
For example building the kernel. I downloaded prebuild toolchain and put in folder where I unzipped source and android sdk to. Followed the guide on setting up build environment and tried to compile with commands from readme, but got 8 errors.
Maybe there are steps missing in the readme or I am doing something wrong. Anyone have a clue? Or can help me?

Sorry if its already been answered but can I use Ubuntu 14.04 to do this? what advantage does 12.04 have?
You can use either Ubuntu 14. However this does not affect anything(about kernel). But I preferred the version 12 because it is more popular, and if problems "arise", it's easier to find solutions.

What's your device? Some have a slightly different configuration(Samsung or Sony/Sony Ericsson etc.).

Can this work for my s4 I9506 stock kernel
Kind of over complicated?
No need to modify .bashrc to build kernels, also nautilus-open-terminal, and synaptic arent needed in any way for kernel compilation and its kinda bad practice to auto accept with sudo apt-get install -y.
Also I dont think java is needed to build kernels (since they are mostly C and assembly code), but oracle java 6 is usually what is recommended for android builds.
Basically all you really need to do is install the required packages, download kernel source and desired toolchain, then run these lines in terminal to get your zImage-
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE= <directory to toolchain>
make <your kernel default config>
make -j<number of threads>
That way makes it much easier to try out different toolchains and toolchain versions
Buddy, mention clearly of which device u r using, n on which device it will work.:laugh: by the way nice work

kernel building for different devices is pretty much all the same, all that differs is the kernel source, defconfig and sometimes a few extra commits to work with linaro toolchain. And if you use the arch specific toolchains you need to pick the right one for your device

Yea, buddy, but he should mention about which device is he using, so it would give us a brief idea, that what we have to do.

Very nice tutorial. I just got into building from source. Yesterday shortly before you posted this, I have successfully compiled a ROM for the first time. Also can you add the link to the other tutorial when it's done on this thread?
can anyone just post the video links they are not opening on my mobile , are they on YouTube so I can DL them for future reference
Thanks
Look great will be looking into tutorials
